Hi everyone!
Hope I am still welcome here after being away for so long.... (hangs head sheepishly).
I was finding myself spending too much time on BB and not enough in real life so I just banned myself for a bit. Hope I have more balance now.

Just had a read up on how everyone is going. Cant believe how old the babies are now. I know Celeste has aged but was surprised with how old the other bubs are now. Silly me! Everyone sounds like they are doing so well. It is fantastic to hear, and more on the way in this thread is wonderful news. Gives me hope for our family too! Thinking about that one at present.

Update on us: Celeste is 7.5months now. She has been sitting for around 2months, has 2teeth with 2more about to emerge (owwww), is rolling back and forth but not yet travelling, pulling to stand on my lap and has said "Mum" and "mumma". She signs "dog" in baby sign language and is in swimming lessons! We are still exclus. Bf but presently deciding whether to wean fully/partly/not at all??? Biting is a real problem with these top teeth and also contemplating going back for FET soon so undecided on the whole BF thing. I so enjoy it but it is also a real pain sometimes. Bleeding nipples=no fun. Celeste has just transferred from her amby hammock to a cot in the last week and that was much simpler than I expected. I had anticipated problems changing beds at this age and with teething at the same time but it was a breeze. She has always been a fantastic night sleeper but the last month she has reverted to waking several times (with teeth pain I think). I was feeding her in the night but have now stopped offering it and she hasnt complained any so I hope once the teeth have settled she will sleep through again.

I hadnt realised how much I missed you lot till I started reading through the thread and hearing all the exciting things going on with you all.

Hope I can come back soon but not obsessivly so that I have to ban myself again lol!

Sazz.
My word Sazz, Luisa seems back ward compared to Celeste! But I do know tht kids grow at different paces! I too have not been great with keeping up with BB. With Luisa and a new job which is very high stress it has been hard.

So to all the others, "hi" again.

I am finding it hard still to adjust to my new life. I love my little girl but it is so hard to adjust to having this responsability when you have been a childless couple for so long. Will deal with it!

We had Luisa's Christening last weekend. I am proud to say she was the best baby I have ever seen at a Christening..bias I know but true.

Good vibes to all through the transition to parenting!

Cheers
