Babies Born April 2007 #7

Hi everyone,

Kristie that is great. I am soooo jelous, I always joked about having a baby around the same time as my Sister...it would have been great. Now I don't like anywhere near my family or close friends. Though here we have a really close Mum's group - but still not as good as a family member you get along with really well. Speaking of being clucky, since having Charlie I told DH we are not having any more kids unless he has them LOL but today on my way to Yoga as Charlie was happily chatting to himself I thought, yeah I could do this again. I think i've finally overcome my fear of having another bubs & not knowing what to do again. YAY, didn't want him to be an only child.

Yeah Danni, sounds silly doesn't it - 30 degrees in Aug!!! we only had a small amount of winter & I went soft as I haven't been able to handle the change yet & it's only going to get worse. By Dec it will be around 40 degrees by lunch everyday....there goes my walking everywhere with Charlie so it's time to hook in & loose some weight so I can be lazy during the hot weather & not be too embarrassed to go to the pool & take Charlie to swimming lessons.

I can't wait to start swimming lessons with Charlie, it will be soooooo much fun. Even bought him some little board shorts when we went shopping, so cute.

Kellie that's great you avoided the C/S, me too. Charlie had the cord around his neck, as did I when I was born. The more people I speak to the more common it seems - weird. I was close to C/S too, I just pushed for dear life to also avoid it - Charlie's head was around the wrong way (facing my leg) so it kept going back up instead of out!!!! it was a very long pushing process & when C/S was mentioned I gave it all I had & out he came. Though he was soooo stressed they took him away first up, that was hard.

Yes a baby's giggle is awesome. I'll never forget the first day Charlie did it, I did something to him & away he went - then for about a week I couldn't get him to do it again. Now he giggles whilst drinking, when he's had enough he just stops drinking & starts to chat & giggle still with teat in his mouth, very cute.

Adele, welcome. Sounds like you've got a great bubs & loving every minute of it. Nice one.

Oooh, got to go - DH has just risen from sleep (night shift) & is about to say "are you on that computer again" LOL.

Bye
