Hi i am new here :-)

Hi My name is Jo i live in Adelaide. I am a very proud mummy to Bayley who just turned 2 and to Bellah who is 5 weeks old.
I am currently a SAHM to look after my children.
I have split from my DP when Bayley was 7months old but we are working on your relationship. We spend a lot of time together as a family and she has also taken on the Mumma role to my beautiful Daughter Bellah.
I look forward in getting to know you all. Good luck for all TCC, sending you lots of baby dust :-)

Hi Jo, Welcome to Belly Belly!! :hug:

Your picture of your kids is absolutely beautiful, how did you come up with their names? Similar but different, I love them!
I grew up in country S.A. ( Jamestown ) and lived in Adelaide on and off for a few years, where abouts are you?
Looking forward to getting to know you as well

Thank you Sally
I was noticing everyone was reading but no one was replying :(
I live in Sheidow Park. But before that i was in Plympton for a long time.
Congrats on your pregnancy. How is it all going? Funny you call your little baby beab squishy. That's my sons nick name when he was born, cause he was all squishy and cute lol

Thanks for the comments on my children. With Bayley i just loved the name, but wanted it spelt diffrent and with Bellah. I love the name Isabella but new she would get called Bellah for short so i thought, why not name her Bellah. As for the spelling i like to be diffrent lol. If Bayley was a girl he would have been called Bellah, so when i found out i was having a girl after lots of name thinking i went with Bellah again :-)

You going to find out what your having? Do you have any names picked out ?

Small world, I lived in Sheidow Park when I went to Flinders Uni !

We are using Sal T's sisters names as our middle names for girls ( I hope we have two girls !! :lol: )
So, at the moment the favourites for a girl are Ella Bea or Willow Kate and for a boy it's Charlie Kurtis or Harrison Alexander ( Kurtis is Sal T's brothers name )
I don't have any brothers or sisters but after 8 years together, I feel like her brother and sisters are like my own, so I love the fact that our kids are going to be named after them.
Definitely finding out what sex, so I can buy those gender specific cute outfits I have my eye on :lol:

How are you coping with one very little one and an active young boy? Hope your partner helps you out a lot, even if you're no longer together. It must be overwhelming at times, have you got family near you helping out?

wow it is a small world... lol

I love your names you have chosen. Love the name Willow, reminds me of the chick who was on Buffy the vampire slayer lol.
So when you say 2 girls. Are you having twins or just plan on having another one?

Bellah is a really good baby, although last night she was up for an extra feed and her brother was up at 4am ARGHHH lol. My X partner is great, we co parent my son and she has a fair bit to do with Bellah. So Bayley has sleep overs with her. But lately we have all been spending a lot of time together. As for family nope they don't live anywhere near me. X partner parents are great they help a lot but they are away atm. Some days are really challenging but others are fine. Its getting better now. Bayley had some trouble adjusting to his new sister but it doing better now.

So are you excited about having a baby?? with your partner have the next one?

We got Willow originally from Buffy ( I am slightly obsessed ) but it's a name we like anyway. :lol:

My partner, who is pregnant, has been feeling way too sick to get onto Belly Belly much, so I am posting enough for both of us. Hopefully, she will carry all our kids ( we would like three ) so that I remain the spare, break in case of emergency, uterus. :lol:

We will need two girls so that we can use both of our names, so we might end up with more ! Joke.

How did Bayley go originally with Bellah? Sounds like he had some 'teething' problems adjusting to not being the centre of Mum's universe any more.

Oh hun i am sorry i just assumed you were the one carrying. Oppsy ...

Three kids, yeah if i was younger (36) tommorw. I would have more. but i feel my age plays a big part in my decision to have another one.

I am sorry to hear your partner is not doing well with being sick, hopefully not long and she will be feeling better.

As for Bayley adjusting 2 life with Bellah was a little crazy to start with. Cause the attention was not on him all the time. When i would feed Bellah he would turn into a monster. Bellah has some issues with feeding so it can take a little while to feed her, it was much longer when she was on the boobies. But that was not working it was a nightmare. So i had to put her on the bottle. But still having a few problems. Hopefully they will sort themselves out soon. But Bayley is getting better.

BTW- i am a HUGE Buffy fan as well.... SMG is one pretty hot chick lol

This seems to be a pretty quiet forum? Thanks so much for responding as well :-)

Hi Bayley&BellahsMumma and :welcome:

I love the way you've spelt Bellah...very pretty!

Thank you :)

WelcomeI
I've been on BB since last year but this is the first time I've looked on the forums - my DS is almost 9 months so if I get the chance to get online, I have been going straight to my belly/baby buddies, coz I'm desperate for advice on whatever! I'm also single, which is fine most of the time but I do wish I had an extra set of limbs now DS is crawling!

Hi there :-)
wait till he starts walking lol

yeah it can be hard at times. I only discovered this forum the other day, i have not looked around it yet only been here.

I am with 2 other forums that i visit regularly as well. Its great asking other mummies for advice.

Your son btw is very cute

I'm only just starting to look around and I've been here a year!!! Nice to finally be to open my eyes now. I read an american forum and just started on LPA - this is the best layout tho, and there is soooooooo much information. Probably why it's taken me so long to look around.

My little mung bean certainly is cute, I'm not sure if he always uses his powers for good and not evil tho'!!!! I spend so much time just looking at him I'm turning into a moron!!! Sorry bad jokes, been a long day and I'm giddy with freedom having gotten him to bed 1 hour earlier than usual!

Yay ! Other people talking on this thread, I was getting worried Jo and I were the only one's logging on!

Finian is certainly very cute, I like the nickname mungbean :lol:

Even on bellybelly, I find myself talking to another massive buffy fan...it's all about Eliza Dushku, Emma Caulfield and Alyson Hannigan for me though, always put off Sarah Michelle Gellar by her snobby attitude towards Buffy ie not doing interviews on dvds, taking part in forums or giving many interviews. It always came across as if she was embarrassed by playing this role....anyway, could talk about Buffy forever, lets talk about babies again :lol: :lol:

just a little bit more about buffy tho - you're so one the money, but i never got into buffy . . . . i dont know why, maybe coz she's (the charachter) so straight, dont know. i only recently got into it, and just finished season 6 & 7 last week! Think i'll start agaijn from the start!

wow 13 weeks - must be excited being able to tell people. you gonna find out the sex?
