Well I see this thread is a bit old but I thought I would post anyways:D. Anyone out there with toddlers born Jan-dec 2004?:)

Yep, my little girl will be 3 on 11th December!

My son will be 4 in February! They grow up fast!

I know, it goes quick hey? I was looking at photos from DD's 2nd birthday and i thought wow she looked so much like a baby still compared to now, she looks all grown up now. And i thought she looked all grown up back then!

Yes my daughter millana is 3 on nov 24th! This thread was doing quite well but i think some have gone to have babies and just joined other threads.
Snowy you out there? Hows wolf and julia going?
Millana is a typical 3 yrold. One min an angel and next a tantrum thorower.lol Just trying to get her to share her toys with my 1yr old and not to take them off her. Hubby just doesnt understand its a development thing and gets real annoyed when she does this.
She can speak really well,picks up words and numbers so easy.Sometimes she will come out with something and i think? i havnt taught you that!lol

Hi Caddie

Yes, I am still here. Gee, I had to go to page 4 to find our old thread! Yes, I guess everyone has kinda moved on.... which is a shame but understandable.
Wolf has his moments... sometimes he is so sweet and others he is quite trying. I ended up buying that 1-2-3 Magiy book but not sure if the counting and "thinking time" thing is really helping... maybe... but still sometimes he is just so difficult... but in general it's much better than he was at 2.5 years when Zara was moving into the toddler stage and he was really nasty to her.

We just had lots of visitors for xmas and both SILs have little babies (well.. little... 5 and 10 months). Wolf was totally smiten with the babies .. kissing them and showing them things and wanting to be with the babies all the time... which bodes well, seeing that I am pregnant, lol.

Hope everyone is well.
hugs to all
and happy new year

Snowy

Hey Snowy! Congratz on your pregnancy. It is a shame this group has died off. My other buddies group has also disappeared too so i have no where to go lol.

It is a shame! I dont half who was in our group! Ive long forgotten.
Millana is freaking about going outside and anyone touching her swing? When i mention lets go outside she starts crying and whinging.Ive tried to ask her to no avail?
Snowy congrats again! when you due?

that's weird about not wanting to go outside.. maybe something scared her or hurt her? bee sting? something like that? so she won't say anything when you ask her? (or does she make up stuff? Wolf often invents stuff... sometimes I don't know if he is speaking the thruth or making up things)

I am due early september - 3rd - 7th. Will have a proper dating scan at around 12 weeks (so in 5 weeks). The embryo today measured on the smaller side so the LMP method seems to be a bit out for estimating the due date but I am not surprised. I could have easily ovulated later. My cycle was quite a bit out of whack after the surgery (no period for 7 weeks but that was to be expected because they "scraped everything out" but then it was 3 days past my anticipated period day... sigh.. oh well... )

Kids returned to kindy today - yeah! Some normality back in our lives... Wolf seems to really fall apart when we deviate from the routine. He had been peeing his pants lately and just been very grumpy. I also noticed that in August in the summer holidays...

wow you could have bubs on ruby's bday which is the 8th!!!

he he ... yeah.. if I went natural... but it will 99% be a caesarean because both Wolf & Zara were emergency c-sections, so they are not keen to take any chances this time round

Yeh good idea! What is ever better for you both.Are you finding out? Got any names picked? Will you make any trips before bubs comes.
Does your hubby still work away in london?

HI girls
I think the last time I was around was Nov last year.

Congrats Snowy on your pg, how exciting to be having no.3. Sounds like Wolf will be rart to have another sibling.

Caddie I can't believe how big your no.2 is, And Millana must be a big girl too now.

My Jessica is the only one at home now. WIth my no.3 Jemma starting school this year. Jess goes to 1 day of 3 yo kinder , does kinder gym and swimming lessons, and still wants to do things on her other days.

I am flat out working from home in my little embroidery business and running 4 kids around the universe. My eldest is in Yr 8 this yr and my no.2 is in grade 3.

Seems there are very few girls around that we had our bubs with, it is a shame but time marches on. I guess BB is just so big now it is hard to keep up

Hope you all continue to be well
Hugs Michelle
