Hahaha Jayne... Harrison is a runner too... he spins around so quickly too and just takes off!
He wasn't really bouncing off the walls... we are rationing out his easter eggs... I think they will take a loooooong time to be eaten.

Kell - I was going to suggest the same thing as Jayne, could it be possible she has a allergy to something in the house? Anyway... yippee for Jem the big walking bubba... Way to go Jemima! I hope her snotties disappear soon.

Sally - BOL for the house hunting... DH and I did that earlier in the year... what a total PITA that was!!! Grrr... we needed a house at the same time that all the Uni students were looking for housing too... thankfully we got a brilliant house, in a gorgeous area of Newcastle. Fingers crossed that you get the house you want.

Tash - Grrr to the sick bugs!!! We have had more than our fair share here over the past 2+ months... it has been awful... so I completely sympathise with you. I hope you're feeling better soon and that Tobi doesn't come down with any nasties.
Yes, Harrison does get frustrated with things.. especially his shape sorter, and being held at times... he gets cranky and throws things sometimes, but mostly he grunts and growls.

Well, I best be off... I am getting Neverfail here today to start me back on my diet!!! I am so excited to be starting all over again... I finally heard back from the consultant who informed me that because of my miscarriage etc, I can start again with a new program and it won't cost me anymore... so I am getting my bloods done in the morning and I will be on my way again... time to shed the Easter Eggs!!! lol

Just a quickie as I am so far behind in my housework and Mr Moo is asleep (well not really, but he is in his cot pretending to be asleep!)

Tobi - Has ear infections again. I didn't think they cleared up probably last time.

Me - Still sick and so over it. Have my voice back at least.

DH - Has taken some time off to look after us, but now having trouble getting a doctors certificate for Tobi and I so that DH can use it to cover his carers leave.

Kel - So glad your back and that everything is really great with Jem, except for the snot. Have you introduced any new foods. Snot can also be a sign of being allergic to foods.

Kym - Why are you frustrated? You are normally in love.

Ryn - How did the eye test go? Any luck on finishing the kitchen yet?

Sally - I hope you get the house. Fingers are crossed.

Lisa - Best of luck with your diet. I am starting mine up again next week too.

Haven't seen Catherine on here since late Jan/early Feb. I had a look to see when she last wrote and she said something about having to watch what she says as Terry checks up on Belly Belly to see what she is writing and there has been nothing since.

PS. I think that most people probably ask about whether you are still breastfeeding and if your child is walking as it "usually" happens around 12months and it is just something that people can ask you. If I met another 1 year old, I would probably ask the Mum the same thing, just to make conversation.

Love and Kisses to all the babies

Hi Girls,

Great to have you back Kel. Had my 13 week Nt scan yesterday heart beat was 169 and all looked fine. Got to still get the combined result back with my blood test, but feeling nice and relaxed. ( which is unlike me!!!). Bub was moving around all over the place. Very cute sucking its thumb!!!

I can't beleive how fast this pregnancy is going. Get panice moments with teh thought of two 19 months apart, but I guess 2 will be hard no matter what the age difference. Erin is so easy now, sleeping and eating so well, just hope that continues. Got Erin's christening tomorrow so better get back to cleaning and cooking what fun!!!!

Hi girlies

Wow, I can't keep up.

Congrats on Jemima for walking, that's great. Aren't they so cute as toddlers? I love it! Although it does mean that they can get around now: Liebling discovered how to turn the gas on the hobs yesterday while he was wandering around.

Kristy, yay for the scan going so well. Ooooh, I want to be pregnant!

Jayne, Easter bunnies sound so cute! But I don't want bunnies LOL.

Sal, that rental house sounds nice.

Lisa, Liebs can run too. It's so funny to watch! We'renot allowing him chocolate, he's up all night with just a tiny bit of chocolate orange cake. Didn't stop him attacking the quality street this morning, he bit theough the wrapper to get the chocolate! It was a nutty one though, at least he seems OK (still breathing etc).

Tashie, poor Tobi with the ear infection. Not nice. I don't ask about BFing, simply because the mums I know IRL either are very vocal about BFing and have done so until self-weaning (usually around 14-15m, I'm dreading that!) or bottle-feed. There are a few who are still feeding and quiet about it, but those are ones I know quite well. I wouldn't ask a stranger because of the level of bottle feeding there is around here.

As for me (and I hope I haven't missed anyone, hi to you if I have!), well...

Let's start with my childcare whinge. I've not been overly happy with DS's current nursery (the whole induction fiasco then the first day there they tell me with next to no notice they don't want him all day) and anyway, they say he can go full-time after Easter. Great, no more unpaid leave for me. But I call them Tuesday and they say September. No, I say, you said after Easter. Get this: "By that we meant school holidays Easter, and then we need the children to get settled in the new rooms, so it will be June." June is not frigging Easter! Say June if that's what you mean! He is so not wanted there, they haven't even put his name above a peg. Everyone else has a peg. He doesn't have his photo up; everyone else has that. I know he wants Mummy but FFS they are a nursery, that's what some children are like. Just cos I'm better than them at playing with children. Ha, all the children there talk to me and DS is only there one day a week. But I talk to them and play with them too - or I did when it wasn't them bundling me out the door ASAP. Anyway, Tuesday I ring the local nursery, they have a space for all my three days! DS loves it there, they like him, he has a peg (I know, little things), he wants to go there cos he can do painting and have fun... I don't know if it's because he's better at walking or what, see what he's like on Monday - which is his last day at the hospital nursery. I'm telling them on Monday I'm taking him out because of this stupid "by Easter we meant June" thing. We're not impressed, we've both needed time off now because they won't take him. Anyway, the new one is a bit more expensive but I'd rather pay an extra ?100 a month full-time and feel like DS was looked after, wanted, loved and enjoying himself.

Eye test - that showed that I am slightly short-sighted (-0.25 in each eye) so not affecting the migraines. My GP agrees it's probably childcare, no sleep, work stress... but has given me some super-strong tablets that should stop a migraine ASAP, I take them when I feel one coming. I'm just sick of losing colour vision. Had a bad migraine on Monday, I made DH stop playing WoW and play with DS as I went to bed... so they played on the piano and with his noisy train set. Thanks for that.

DS slept last night. He slept from just before 10 until after 6.30 - I'm really impressed with him! About 9 hours. That was bliss. DH was up at 6 to go fishing (he had DS yesterday afternoon and "deserves a day off" - won't tell you how annoyed I am about that, but suffice to say I'm leaving DS in nursery Tuesday afternoons, we have to pay for a full day anyway, and having that time for me) so I was awake, but it was so nice to not be up all night, to be awake and in bed knowing DS didn't need me! Don't know what. Maybe the steroid cream for his eczema is working. Maybe that molar stopped upsetting him (post-calpol at 10). Don't know but praise God he's finally sleeping! I just hope and pray this continues.

Hi girls

I am really not impressed with myself atm,,, I had a long post,, and am rather tired,, accidently clicked on something on my keyboard,, turned to look back at the screen,, and it was GONE!! *sigh*,,, I dont have the patience of energy atm to rrewrite it, so might try and get it donw tomorrow.

Basically,,, to compact it all,,, DS still is not walking,, but close,,cruising quite well, and letting go for a few seconds at a time.
I think he is teething one of his back teeth as his gums on the bottom on one side are heaps wider and redder than the other areas,, so that would explain why he is waking up at night several times again each night (oh joy,, we all know what that does to your mood huh)
My 2nd DS is turning 8 on friday next week,, so have gotten him a few clothes which he needs, and DH and I were wracking our brains on what to buy him to go wth it,, as between all the boys,, they have nearly all the toys that they have ever asked for for presents etc,, and the only other things that they have asked for are not suitable. Finally yesterday we decided,,,, as we have not had any pets for a few years due to the rental situation,, we decided to bend a little and we bought him a big cage,, and are buying him his very own budgerigar!!.(sp?)
While it may seem like a unusual gift,, you would have to know him to understand why... He has a furby toy he got for christmas last year after begging all year for one,,,, and the only other gift he has ever asked for is a "Squarky MCaw",, which is a toy parrot that sits on a perch and talks to you... I personally think he is a little old for things like that,, and he always asks for a pet, so, that is why we came up with that decision. I know he will be absolutely wrapped!!
Now I just have to pick one out the morning of his birthday,, and get his party arrangements organised. He wants a pinarta, so we have to pick that up too,, cant wait to see his face hehe.

On my personal own front,, I still dont have my period after having DS,, although I get absoloutely horrid cramping, very emotional and teary at times too. I have been a watcher of the tubal ligation thread and found that most of the things i have only just started suffering since having DS,, can be attributed to the ligation Just my luck huh!!.

Ryn: I also know how you feel hun,,, I LOVED being pregnant,,,,,,and wish I could have been pregnant at about the 7-8 month stage for much much longer than I had. I suppose as DS was my last,, that I really feel it more than with any of my others. Although DS said that if we owned our own house,, we would have had one more try at a baby girl,, but,, cant help that now lol.

Kristy ; biggest of big :hugs: hun!!
So good to see you here, and doing so well with your new little bundle,,,, cant believe that Erin is going to be a big sister!! That makes 2 of our original bellybuddies group that are having another bub now

Well,, I will see you all again tomorrow with some more
