Babies Born July 2007 #10

Zyons had 1 snotty nose, which lasted maybe 24 hours? Not sure V, possibly the creche at the gym?

Raels they are roughly $17-$27 each, but resell really well 2 & I am onto bubs #2 with my Modern Cloth... So it works out really well!

Hi all!
How are we?
Hope ur all going well, havebeen quite busy today and havent had a chance to read through.
I just had to get something off my chest in the hopes it will stay off for a while...


I want to get preggers again!!! I never thought I would want to so bad, but I really want to have another bubba! I don;t know if It's cos I enjoyed my pregnancy, ( yes even with the horrid morning sickness and the pain and agony of my pelvis..... oh and I nearly forgot the labour!)or if it's cos I just really want kids.
Adam and I have always said 2 kids, no more then 3. I don;t know if we can afford it:S. I keep telling myself, it's too soon. I want my kids to be close in age, but do I want them this close?
We are not actively trying. Thankgoodness says Adam. lol
He doesnt really want to talk #2 till Lach is 12 months old. I just don't know If I can wait another 8 months. I know in the scheme of things its not long....

grrr... stupid head! Stupid hormones!
I don't want to try. not quite yet. I keep thinking how awesome it would be to be preggers again, and have another bubba. I miss Lach being brand new.
He just keeps growing so fast! New things everyday and I can't keep up.
I don;t know if I want more kiddies for the right reasons? I don't know if its just a phase.
I havent said anything to Adam yet, I will soon. I really want to make the most of Lach being so small and being the only one, but I dont want him to be lonely. And I dont want him to be a spoilt little bugger either! I want him to learn to share from an early age. Theres only 17 months between me and my sister, so I cannot remember ever being lonely or alone. I always had someone to play with, and It honestly has never affected me. I know that some people say that having another kiddie so close can make the first child feel a little left out... but I don't ever remember feeling that way.

I was never overly clucky. I knew I always wanted kids. I never knew exactly how many, and we didnt have any probs conceiving. I am worried that if we do leave it too long that it will be a prob.
I don;t know. So many thoughts running thru my head.
Does anyone wanna talk some sense into me?
When does everyone else want to TTC again?

cheers

Hi all,

V Changes in the weather quite often make bubs sick. there isn't a huge amount you can do to stop it. Don't worry it will soon be hot all the time
My rocking motion is a sitting form one, I kinda rock from one bum cheek to the next while going shh and quite often holding a dummy in his mouth. Nathan tries to stand or walk and bop at the same time. It just doesn't work. One day I thought he was actually working out what I did but he was just being rude to me.
With the vaccinations best talk to the MCHN as the rotovirus does have to be done a specific times.

Raels the booby milk can't hurt I loved that birth story that's why I had to share with everyone after I read it. Everyone needs to go and read it.

Nicki, I would dearly love to have another bub and some days I think I would love to be preggo again now and then my common sense kicks in.
1)Sometimes I have bad days now, I can't imagine having these days while tired/sick and in pain of being preggo (and I didn't have a rough time
2)I can't imagine having those bad days again while still having a very needy and possibly in 9 months time very active little boy to chase as well.
3) $$ we want to build a house and will never get one if we do have #2 too soon.
There are probably lots more cons and heaps of pros to having another bubs now but when I sift through these things in my head I realise that i'm not physically or emotionally ready for another.
You need to sort through your own pros and cons with adam, write them down if it helps if at the end of it all you still want another bub asap go for it!!

lol
Hes def not ready yet.... but at least I have planted the seed in his mind!! BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

hello strangers long time no chat - i really need to be more organised so i can get on here more and have a proper convo and not just a passing comment here and there - now i haven't had much of a chance to read through everyones comments so not a lot of personals but i'll do my best

v - michael has a snotty nose at the moment but i think it my have to do with his teeth moving around with the whole ear nose and throat connection - talk about one cranky little man - i'm starting to long for the days when he slept for 20 hours a day how horrible of me - also i was told to wait the full two mths - we were away when michael was due his 4mths and i thought of getting them about 4 days before we left but was advised it's better to wait til we got back - then there's no chance of double up, overdosing or other adverse affects - but if your really concerned just ring your gp or immunisation hotline

nicky - ah to be preg again - i loved being preg sooooooo much that i can't wait either - the only thing stopping me at the moment is my up coming wedding and everything i've paid for already - luckily by the time the wedding s over with michael will be around the 8-9 month mark and we were thinking of trying again when he was about 12mths so it's forcing us to stop and think.....

well over the last week me and my little my went to newcastle so he could meet his grand parents (my mum and dad) and other extended family members - we had to fly from townsville and he was an angel - i had ppl coming up to me as we weere getting off the plane saying they dident realise i had a baby with me and how good he was - and with meeting soooooo many new faces i was stressed to the max as to how he was going to be and my little champ took it all in his stride and smiled and giggled and hugged to his hearts content - i must admit that there were times i felt like i was only there to transport michael around and nothing more but that disappeared onnce i realised i actually had time to myself for more then 1/2 and hour a day and that i too was on holidays - my mum was more then happy to take care of things and of course the inevitable farewell was made ten times worse because of this - but it's now back to the daily grind - i hope i can get on here more often now

hope to catch up soon

Hi Everyone.
Just a quick post, I will be gaone for 10 days so no BB for me. But cause its our first holiday as a family.
I have packed, well, just about everything that Kaetlyn owns, with the exception of her cot and change table
We had Photos with santa today. Kaetlyn was very good. she didnt smile for the camera but she didnt cry either! She has this stunned look on her face. We picked the photot where she is pulling on Santas beard and he is discretly pulling it out of her hand, I think he was hurting him by pulling it
Well I'm off. its very late and I have to be up early.
Bye
Oh and thanks for the info on weather In Qld Gals

Hi ladies

Its pretty late but its been a very "pull all my hair out" few days here, and ethan is finally asleep So im here to wind down so i can sleep!!
Ethan had his needles on wednesday and im not sure what was in them but he has turned in to a very grumpy little boy!! He has been feverish since and his temp was still up tonight so im hoping he will wake up without one in the morning. He keeps crying in his sleep to and i wake up everytime, grrr! I dont go to him though as its only for 30secs or so and he stops.

Well i had the first prospective buyer come look at the house on wednesday and he seemed very interested, so thats great, worst thing was he is not from here so they could only give an hours notice, i could have said no but really want the house to sell quickly so i said yes and had to run around like a headless chook to get the place presentable! Dh comes home tomorrow night, and we will be signing the contract for the new house on saturday, YAY and then going away next week to meet with a finance company. We are also going to perth saturday afternoon as we have a christening to attend (Dh is godfather) on sunday, so i wont be around until monday night as we will get home on monday just in time for me and ethan to make it to mothers group. I have got my glasses now, Woo Hoo i can see again! I didnt actually realise how bad my eye's had gotten until i put them on and it was like OMG I can see Lol!

Sara- How cute re Kaetlyn and Santa! Hope you all enjoy your first family holiday. I was the same with the packing when we first went away, it was only for two days and i packed enough for a month!!

Veronica- Goodluck with the dreads, its a long hard job hey! I stopped giving ethan solids for a weeks as the health nurse scared me but ethan is ready and eats with no problems so have just started again tonight, he had carrots! I give them to him in the evening before his bath, and only a little bit, he would eat the lot if i let him!

Jo- Welcome back to you and Michael Glad you enjoyed your little holiday. I agree that mums are great, i think i would have gone mad if mum wasn't around in the first 3 months!

Nicky- Lol at the look on Adams face! When Dh first suggested TTC again i was the one with the priceless look on my face, mind you Ethan was only 4wks old!! My answer the was "Uh yeah right, i think not"! As you know though we are TTC again but we discussed it alot and made sure it was the right thing for us and as we had so many problems TTC ethan we decided we would start. So if we dont get pregnant straight away we wont be disappointed but if we do we will be over the moon. Im not charting, Temping or checking for ovulation etc, so if it happens it happens sort of thing. Hope you come to a clear decision soon

Tracey- You have some gorgeous MCN's, my first choice when pregnant was cloth and i went and got heaps of the Old style flats and it just never happened Hopefully its different with Bubba #2!

Raels- Lol at Lexxen wanting a mobile phone for christmas! Did you find an mp3 player? I love the name Lexxen btw

Ok, everyone else HI and i hope you are all well Im off to bed now so if i dont get back on here before saturday i will be back monday night. Oh so much to do between now and then.

Hugs to all. Me and Ethan will miss everyone, hehe!
