Hi everyone

Squidipa - could be teething?

Sash - we've been a bit unsettled here too - so not sure what is going on with her... probably just one of those things. She has a temp... but not much else wrong I don't think...

The news from here - babysitting went great yesterday - and the biggest news - DS did a wee in the potty for the first time! wooohooo!!!!!

Gotta go - DS is on my lap and hates me typing over his head.

woohooo mel for wee wee's yay!!!!!!

i got new pic hehehe i think he looks chubby and wonderful but i am finding his legs are going purple and splotchy, this happened with ds3 when young poor circulation and pead said put him on diet he to big, so ahhh hrmmm anyone else getting this issue. and no its not a rash.

Just a quickie....
mel YAY for DS!
Squiddy sounds like teething to me....
Everyone seems to be having the same problem of hard to settle baby at the moment... we have had that this week too! not sure if she has a cold or if she is just a bit more aware of things so we will see how next week goes...
Beth has been so fixated with our food this weekend we have let her try a few things... the Bear gave her some vegemite, she had some cucumber at lunch today and he even let her try my dessert! she thought it was all pretty exciting. She's just tasting things atm but we are thinking we will do the BLS thing.... seems like the way to go... anyway the Bear is trying to get me to come to bed so gotta scoot
to all!

Hey Everyone!

I'm not sure how long I haven't been on here. Been busy doing all sorts!

Aricyn for wees in the potty.....but it does mean no more gorgeous nappies.....

Sasha - Gorgeous pic of you and Kye on MSN! Didn't you get the treadmill when you were TTCing? How come you decided to sell? But yay anyway!

Squidipa - Great ticker pic! Joshie looks sooo cute! Could be teething? I'm still waiting for my periods to start again, but I am still solely breastfeeding so no real surprises there.

Pixie - Beth is such a sweetheart! Gorgeous Christmas dress too.

One of the reasons our bubs may be having trouble settling, or just generally being cranky or clingy is that 19 weeks is a wonder week leap. So in the lead up (I think it was from about 14 weeks right up to 20 weeks) they may be cranky, clingy and/or crying or just generally not themselves. They are now learning more complex skills, so at about 20 weeks they should settle back down and keep practicing their new skills Remember that is 20 weeks from EDD, not actual birthdate. Not sure when you were due Mel and Pixie....

Mel are you starting a new business? Yo can PM me if I'm right Hehe!

Ok, time for me to go to bed cos I can't think straight anymore! Poo Sunday hasn't happened, so I am waiting for the explosion tomorrow!!

Squidipa: G sucks her finger when shes feeding too, i figured she just LOVES her fingers SO much that has to suck them at all times. Maybe teething though.not sure about the purple legs though

Pixie: without sounding like an idiot what is the "BLS thing" ? G been doing the same with food, have been giving her tastes of things, she opens her mouth in antisipation when she sees the spoon coming....and wants more.

G seems to be getting really hungry at the mo, i seem to be feeding her loads more than normal. must be a growth spurt or something.
actually went out to a restaurant for dinner yesterday, mind you we were back home at 7.30 but felt good to go out with G and DH. and she didnt mind, think she quite enjoyed being out in the dark.

Hi to all.

[squidipa]

Beck - BLS is where the baby eats the same stuff as you, there is no pureed stuff and bubs feeds themselves so they control their food input - not the parent.

Looks like everyone is having a bit of an unsettled time... Miss M was fed at around 5.00pm last night - we put her to bed around 630ish - she woke up at 2.30 ( I was dead to the world but DH got up to her) moved her in the cot - and then she woke up at 6am for a feed!!!
And I hadn't changed her nappy - I'm afraid to look at what the mother-ease cover is containing...lol

2nd last day at work today - yay!!

And thanks for toilet training comments - I'm not getting too excited - so not too worried about the nappies yet
