esme - can't wait to hear if you are preggers! I am sure all will be fine at your ultrasound but I know it must always be in the back of your mind, woo hoo on Jasper making more sounds. DD now says doggy, kitty, mummy, daddy, nanny, grandad, miaow, woof, duck, quack, and makes a certain noise for more and again, although I am not sure if anyone else would understand it! Dd has become a little kamikaze baby and is constantly climbing on the couch, standing and flinging herself off and now wants to climb on everything!
jen - how are you feeling? I am just exhausted and sick all the time and it is so hard when you can't sleep when you need to! Plus we all have a cold which isn't helping.
Way to go Catherine, lots of words there Bun, you must be stoked!! Zane is going pretty good to, he is good with shoe, door, dog, toto (toast) Mum, Dada, poo but he says that when we go swimming so I'm assuming it's pool. So awesome listening to their little voices coming out.
It's official I'm utterly exhausted, I have been surving on average of 3 hours sleep a night so I'm armed with by best firend to stay the night and sleeping tablets. I know I sound like a crazy person but I'm scared Sonya has dissapeared and without sleep she will be forever awol. The thought of another baby scares me to death there is no way I could have another baby now with Ad away so much...good thing really I guess no way of concieving!!
Bun- I am tired most of the time and I am feeling most nausea in the evenings. I hardly had any nausea with DD so I am wondering if this one is a boy!
I actually had a nap with DD for the first time yesterday and woke feeling worse. So wont be doing that again!
Oh and Bun with your questions about why or why not with the NT scan from the other thread. I am getting the scan done mostly to see bubs is ok and also as bad as this sounds, I would not cope with a downs baby......
hi girls.. hope ms goes away.. it's such a yukky feeling...
im not ready for a bub yet.. but will prob start trying dec/jan...
i know.. i was really scared when i had the NT scan. i'm 36 now.. so higher risk..
but not trying now, cos still coping w emotional issues (pnd) and just back at work and need to save a bit more as i have a mortgage... sigh
prama - ugh, tell me about mortgages, yuck! We have two now and of course were planning on me going back to work for a bit, so much for that! We should be able to survive though, and DH gets a bonus in Sept which will help. Definitely wait to TTC #2 once you are ready, there is no hurry. How is the PND these days, how are you feeling?
jen - I hear you on the challenges of raising a downs baby, I'm not sure if I could do it either, but DH and I made the decision that we would not terminate a downs baby so there is not much point in us having the NT done. I guess we just have to hope and trust that all is well with this little bubba. I am still feeling shocking, it gets the worst at around 5.30pm everyday until the next morning. Yuck!
Sonya - how are you going? You poor thing, it sounds like you are really struggling atm. It must be so hard having DH away for so long. I struggle too when DH is away and of course it's even worse if our bubs aren't sleeping. coming your way.
esme - any news yet??
Oh, and I forgot to list Catherine's favourite word - DOWN!! She has even started putting words together so when she wakes up in the morning and wants me to come and get her she will yell out Mummy DOWN! But she thinks down means up as well so gets a little confused sometimes...
lol bun-- catherine is so cute.. that's so funny saying down and meaning up.. kids are soo cute
pnd is ok.. better than before.. but i still have my ups and downs..
i have a mortage for a house back in msia where my parents are living now. steve's paid off the mortage on the house he bought way before we got married where we are living now. but we are going to do a knock and rebuild, it's only a 2 bedroom house and it's getting pretty small with 3 of us now and will be harder w a baby. so he will need to get another loan for that.. so yeah.. we'll both be having own mortages
had a lovely weekend in Melbourne thank you, next time however will probably just go with my best friend and no one else as the other girl that we went away with kind of spolied the vibe. But we did go swimming in the outdoor heated pool at 6pm Sat Night and had a lovely spa and then dinner and drinks! Bought a few things some new shoes and a couple of tops but just enjoyed some me time.
Imagine how much cash we would have to splash if we didn't have a mortgage.
Bun -- Catherine's very clever saying "down". Sophjie just yells " MAAAAAAAAAAA" when she wants to get up. he he
Bronzdbebe-- hope you have caught up on some sleep and feel a bit better. I definately could not have another bubba I think it would push me over the edge.
Well DH is in NZ till Friday and the possibly back for another week starting Sunday. The kids were shocking yesterday - all had a cold and miserable throwing tantrums left right and centre -- what a joy. Much better today.
Just a quick selfish post... So far it is looking (and feeling) good; I am pretty sure I am pregnant. I had a funny cycle last month, I don't think I o'd on the day I normally do, but 3 days later; the only day we dtd without protection... I have the feeling I am pregnant, but haven't tested yet because of chemical pregnancies in the past; I don't test until at least after AF is due to avoid disappointment. If I had had a normal cycle af would have been due yesterday and so far nothing yet, I keep having that heavy feeling down below on and off and am ravenous most of the time....
All going well here, Jordan still doesn't sleep all night a fair few nights of the week. But now, I can go in and just say " go to sleep Jordy" and he just shuts up and goes off on his own which is a huge relief for me. He probably sleeps through from 730pm till 530am about 2 times a week. He is so active and full on, I don't think he can shut himself off to sleep lol
He doesn't shut up either. He repeats the last word of any sentence you say to him, but word of the month would have to be "Doctor" he just loves saying it. I guess because we have been there so much lately might have something to do with it lol! Has the cutest voice, cracks me up.
Oh I have to ask, what dancing technique are all your LO's going with at this age? We have a side to side thing going on, sometimes a little up and down bounce, but mostly swaying when he sings along to a song !
Roquen - Jasper loves dancing; he does side to side, bopping up and down, turn around, clapping, walking on tippy toes, basically whatever he feels like doing; so cute! He loves singing 'Happy birthday' and 'Head, shoulders, knees and toes' (doing the actions).It sounds like Jordan is a really good talker. Jasper doesn't say many real words yet, altough yesterday he learned to say 'off' and was very proud of himself. He has been sleeping really well, but was awake twice last night. I am coming down with a sore throat/cold, so I suspect he has a sore throat too. Poor bub, last Sunday he had a tummy bug, lucky he was a lot better the next day. I don't like winter...
lol.. the bubs are getting so cute..
lakshman's fav words are shuuush (shoes) and zsha zsha (zara = his "gf" at daycare)
he doesnt do side to side but lots of up and down and shuffling backwards, clapping and going yaayyy.
he says other words as well (but not a lot) and is now constantly watching our lips move to try to say the words.
woo hoo on Jasper making more sounds. DD now says doggy, kitty, mummy, daddy, nanny, grandad, miaow, woof, duck, quack, and makes a certain noise for more and again, although I am not sure if anyone else would understand it! Dd has become a little kamikaze baby and is constantly climbing on the couch, standing and flinging herself off and now wants to climb on everything!
