Babies Born February 2007 #11

hey hey
we have been TTC since jemima was born basically... we waited the 4-6 wks..... hmmmm.... so yeah i would love to be your belly buddy but not looking promising until maybe jemima weans herself, my body just isnt doing it...
nurse said that when a new baby is coming YES try and get older bub into own bed before so that baby doesnt think new bub stole her bed
yep i am still working at the opshop every 2nd saturday.
tomorrow i have a interview to re-register as a office temp. awesome money and i can pick and choose when i work
will start work on may the 12th, that gives agency plenty of time to line something up
we go to new zealand on april 19th for a couple of weeks so when we get home i have one week home with benji and in that week we will try and get jem 'settled' at the daycare place but she loves that kind of thing the only difference will be it will be ALL day and kidzclub is no more than 2 hours and when she stays with my friend it is only 10 until 4 (but 8.30 til 9.40am at kidzclub before that)
i will miss her heaps but i will not work forever, i will work a contract then most likely take a break and then get another one

am organising highschool reunion and have some text messages to send to people i only have numbers for not email or address yet so better go do that.
had massive day today looking after my friends one year old.... we went for a walk that only takes me 5 mins but with 2 one years olds it took ALOT longer i dont have a double pram so i just walked holding both their hands and then we came back for lunch and the other one (gem) is teething so she wasnt eating and so funny my jem ate twice as much then i remember gem likes sultanas so let her eat sultanas all the way to another of my friends houses where they had a quick playdate with a 17 i think month old then they fell asleep in the car on the way home, which is good coz Gem didnt go to sleep as easily as usual in the morning and almost woke Jem which is really annoying.....
tomorrow it is 12months for mothers group so we are going out to lunch followed by my interview
wednesday swimming lessons, pub lunch and then appointment at salon that has child minding
thursday MY DAY OFF i plan to get stuff for holiday...and pack and stuff after the gym
friday a friend with a 4 month old coming to visit after i go to the gym
then saturday i fly away!!!!!!

just realised this post all about me........... whoooops

so how is everyone?

Kristy - I want to be pregnant now too, but alas I am not getting laid. At least my AF is back, so when DH gets home we can start trying. It took us 9months for Tobi, but I am really hoping that we'll be up the duff by Christmas. Fingers Crossed.

No TTC for us yet, prob start trying at end of year.

thanks for thoughts on the pillow - not only does Monkey love it, but we have massive news..... She can put herself to sleep!!!!

last fri, DH just decided to try to put her down when she was calm but not falling asleep in his arms and to our surprise she just rolled over, snuggled into pillow, cuddled te-da (teddy) and closed her eyes!!!! She has now done this for 5 nights in a row - we still sit in her room initially and give her a cuddle for a couple of min until she stops wriggling, but a couple of min vs up to 40 min is amazing - its changed our world!!!!

Even more jaw dropping is that she also did this for MIL while she babysat her on Sat night while we were at a wedding!!!!

Monkey is also walking properly now!

Been a big week all round really! (bit of a selfish post.... sorry)

Kym I am so happy for you. Congratulations and Well Done Monkey

Yay Monkey!! Isn't it amazing the things our bubba's can learn to do in the space of a week?

kymmmmy i know EXACTLY how you feel!!!!!!! you wonder how long she might have been able to do it by herself for.... but dont care coz you are just so relieved that you did it without doing the leave your baby scream thing!!! i still cant believe how good jemima is.... no patting no nothing just sleepy time here is carebear turn around walk out room, baby asleep it is amazing
and WOOOHOOOO on the walking, i wish i knew what monkey looked like so i could imagine it... they are so cute walking, jemima looks like a mummy coz she always has her hands in the air, but she has had her hands inthe air since she was born, there is a two second clip of jemima walking on her youtube site (the link is on the site that is on the link on my signature)

our babies rock

ps- i go "back to work" on may 12!!!
pps - benji, jemima and me go on an aeroplane on April 19!!!

Wow Kel... how exciting for you, going on a holiday to NZ... Are you nervous about Jem on the plane? Harrison is a good traveller in the car, he mostly just sleeps, but I wonder how he'd be on a plane. I hope you all have a fantastic holiday.
Are yoy excited about going back to work? I would be!!! I consider it all the time, but there is a huge part of me that just can't leave Harrison... I don't know if it is because of losing Noah, but I am sooooooooooooo much more paranoid about Harrison than I was about James and Madeleine... and I was paranoid enough with them!!! I haven't left Harrison with anyone for more than 3 hrs... and that was once, with my sister, for a concert... and he was not real happy about it... the 2nd longest time I have left him was for 15 mins and that was with my Mum and my sister together.
