Babies Born July 2007 #23

Yay Oliver!!!!!!

Hi girls. Not much happening. All going well with the little one, and with the wedding so far. My mum and sisters and MIL and SIL's are taking me out for dinner tonight. Noone knows about my little belly dweller yet..... don't know how long I can keep it a secret.

Lachie's been really crook. He caught my flu ff me, poor little man. Anyway, he's slowly gtting better. Just has a really bad chesty cough today, and he's still not eating alot, but he is drinking. I hope he doesn't lose much weight, he can't afford to!

Well, hat's all from me, nothig exciting as you can see.
Have a great day all

xxoo

veronica - thanks for the welcome and as for the boobs i say go for it - a happy mum makes a happy family - i was thinking about getting a lift myself when all is said and done on the baby making front - i have DD but they sag sooo low i look flat as a tack - i miss my bigger boobs - i feel more womanly with them (and in a house full of males i need to feel girly sometimes)

olimoo - YAY for oliver walking - did you have a tear in your eye - i did when ds started - i've become very emotional since he was born i never used to get sooo mushy

Niadla - hope lachie is feeling better soon - michael is just starting to get over his - and i think he passed it to me - i now have this horrible tickle in my thoat that wont budge

other then that not much else is new - i am slowly reading back through the posts just to get a lil history behind the thread - hope to chat some more soon -

happy chatting

I say good on you V, go the boobs. I might even join you, once I see how they are once I loose 6kg's. I used to be a DD, now probaby a C-D. So if I end up much smaller, I might consider it.

Have fun tonight Nicky.

Jo, welcome back glad to hear all is well for you.

BBL ladies, got a load of shopping to unpack.

Hey Everyone!!

Hope you are all going to have a great weekend. It feels like tomorrow should be sunday cause I have had 2 straight days off work. Lucky that its only saturday!!

Mel - I hope that you dont get any smaller!! I would like a C-D, really I want to have my boobs like they were when my milk came through, I thought they were perfect for me. Now I just have a couple of sag bags!! Good luck on the 6kg you want to loose - You can do it!! If you ever need motivation, just drop me an email :)

Raels - YAY for Oliver walking!!

Sarah - if you want you can give me half of your boob size!! :lol:

Jason said that he will go halves with me on the boobs. So I probably only need to save $5k!! :rolleye: but that is still alot!!! I got the night fillers job at coles. We will see how that goes, hipefully I dont wear myself out too quickly..... I will be started by the end of next week, just waiting for all the paper work to come through. So for the next week, I've got to make the most of sitting at home cause probably 4 out of the 7 nights, I will be packing shelves from 7-11 BUT I am doing it to help my family out of debt, so it will be worth it in the long run.

Gotta go, its late. BYE! Have a good weeekend all

Hey Ladies and Bubbas

Sarah, what kind of car are you getting?

V, I'm so motivated to loose this weight. Gym 4 times a week and this TF diet, hopefully it won't take long.

Hope you all are having a great weekend.

Hi everyone

Add me to the list of those wanting a boob job. I have been telling DH I want one for ages and surprise surprise he is also keen!! :rolleyes:.

Once I stop breast feeding I might look at it. Dont want to go much bigger just want them filled back up and lifted!

Hope you are all having a great weekend.

take care
Jem

Hands up here to for the boob job - I swear I am less than a A cup now. Loved them when I was pregnant and b/feeding. I was having a shower with Tom last night and said to him "See mummy's boobs - you ruined these. When you are a rich doctor/footballer/lawyer etc you can pay for mummy to have new ones". DH said I would have to find a new husband, so don't think he is too keen :lol:.

:lol: Thats funny how we all want some new ones!!!

Em - I am with you. I think mine are smaller than an A cup too. I am in a B cup now, the used to fit 2 weeks ago when I first bought it! I am waiting a few more weeks and then going to go get fitted properly, that will be interesting!

Mel - good on ya!! How much you have to loose - 6kg hey? I weighed myself this morning again and was pleasantly surprised. I cant believe how nicely it is coming off! I say to Jason that I want to lose another 3-4kg (would love 5kg!!) and then I will go on the pill BUT I said if I start puttng on weight and I cant keep it off, I will be off it and its back to using condoms (which we hate!) and trying to time it so I DONT get pregnant.

Jem - yes surprise surprise that DH is also keen!! Have you been in your 12kg run or is that still a week away?

Sarah - what sort of car you have bought?? Gosh, I wish I could fly over to another state to buy a car and drive it home!! WAY too far to drive tho..

I made a real good dinner tonight. Bacon and egg pie (I have steamed vegies with mine, I am really in to my steamed vegies these days!!) And I also made a tiramasu (sp) that is sitting in the fridge waiting to be eating tomorrow!! Sunday is my treat day and I am soooooooooooooo hanging out for tiramasu, dont ask why!!!

Avaleigh fed herself tonight. I tried feeding her but she didnt want to take any, so I left her the fork and spoon and she started feeding herself!! Looks like the fun(MESS!) begins over here. Are any other bubbas feeding themselves?

Well better go and get my lil one to bed!!

Hi Ladies

Hope your all having a lovely weekend.

The bugs are really flying around atm! I woke up again today with a super sore throat and sinuses, and ethan had to go back to the dr yesterday and his chest infection is back, and he caught conjunctivitis from my niece too so back on a pile of meds again so no doubt he will have thrush by the end of the week again. Hope all of you get better soon.

I want a boob job too!! LOL I was hoping they would get bigger after having ethan but they disappeared all together! Just not sure how many more bubba's we would like first :)

I was sooo proud of myself today, may sound odd but i cooked my first ever roast! and it turned out great WOOT!! A little over cooked but yummy. Theres is heaps left over too, it weighed 3kg.

V- Welldone on your weight loss :clap: Your How clever of avaleigh feeding herself. Ethan is not yet, if he was he would probably give it all to the cats! Its bad enough that he throws most of his finger foods at them and when it hits them he laughs! Enjoy your tiramisu tomorrow, yum! Oh and congrats on getting the night job.

Em- Lol at telling tom he will have too pay for a boob job :lol:

Jem- When i mentioned it to my dh he just grunted and said whatever!

Mel- Is jack staying out of the wars? Hows the TF diet going so far?

Sarah- Yay for the new car:clap: it is exciting isnt it. Enjoy.

Jo- Welcome back to you and michael! Glad that you are all well.

Nicky- How was your dinner out? Hope you had a nice time.

Raels- YAY OLIVER:dance: I got teary when ethan started. But theres no stopping him now :lol:

Well im off i am going to have a nice hot choc with a marshmallow or 10 lol and a slice of apricot pie with ice cream (baked today!) and then head off to bed. Night ladies :)

Hello Mummies & Bubs!

Just a super quick one from me (again) ;) I'm packing the last of my house today and moving tomorrow ARRRGGHHH!!!!!!!!

I won't be on for a couple of weeks I'd say. So I will catch you all when I'm back in action!!!

Bye for now :)

Hope the move goes well tomorrow Dani:) Goodluck with it all. Talk to you again in a few
weeks.

Just popped on for a quick read while waiting for dinner to finish cooking, and its ready so may pop back later.

Bye for now:)

Hi Ladies
Hope you all had a nice weekend. We went to Brisbane for my SIL birthday on the weekend and left Tayah at home with my parents. Was the first time we had left her for the whole night. I missed her so much but it was nice to have some time just to ourselves. And she was fine, she sees my parents almost as often as she sees me and DP so I dont think she missed us at all haha.

Hi to Jo and Michael welcome back.

Jan and Olimoo-WOOHOO on Liams and Olivers walking. Its so exciting when the
walking begins.

V- I am studying to be a primary school teacher at uni, I have 9 months to go. I totally understand your wanting for a boob job. I am constantly thinking about it too although Id be heading in for a reduction rather then implants. Congrats on the nightfill job and weight loss. What foods are you eating of a day and what exercise are you doing for the weight to be coming so nicely?

Sarah- How is Bayleigh feeling now? Is he getting over his cold?

Mel- How is the TF going for you? After a week on the celeb slim shakes I decided its back to just eating healthy and exercising for me. I was hoping the shakes would make the weight come off quicker but it hasnt been any quicker then before. And because I wasnt physically eating anything and just drinking the shakes I was constantly thinking about food and feeling really hungry.

Cant remeber who asked but Tayah has started feeding herself for about the last 3 weeks, wasnt really a chioce for us as she refused to eat unless she was able to use the spoon to feed herself.

TOJ- Hope you and Ethan are feeling better again soon.

Dani- How did the move go?

Nicky- Not long til the wedding now, you must be so excited. Not sure if I already said it but congrats on the BFP.

Hi to anyone I missed

Hi girls!

I am still alive! I feel like I have been gone for ages! We have moved again.....this time in with my parents until our house is built. Obviously not ideal but a good way to save money! They have a double story house so we have the top level to ourselves which is fine. Mum and dad are in New Zealand at the moment so we havent really experienced the whole "living together" thing yet. Hopefully it all works out, they are very easy going but i just hope Lucas doesnt do their heads in as he is SO BUSY, HE DOES NOT STOP!! Very cute but some quiet time would be good!!

Anyway i just wanted to check in as we only just worked out how to use the internet here!! I will try and catch up now!!

Oh and i am flat as a pancake too!!

Hey!

Gosh, I feel like my stomach is going to eat itself today. Not sure why as I dont normally get this hungry... Still got a while to lunch time.

Dani - I hope the big move goes all OK!

Em - I'll list what I eat!
Breakfast: porridge on workdays or scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on 1/2 piece of toast on days off work.
Morning snacks: banana, Mini brunchbar and almonds, apple
Lunch: any left overs from dinner with a huge salad
Afternoon snacks: yohgurt, fruit salad (melon, strawberries and kiwi fruit)
Dinner: some meat with a huge salad or steamed vegies
My aim is to eat as little carbs as possible as your body will burn the carbs before it gets to the fat, so I try to avoid potato, pasta, lots of bread etc
Right now with exercise I go for a 15 min walk with two dogs and then a 15 min run with my younger dog (this all at 5am in the morning!!) I then spend about 15-20 mins on my stomach
And then in the evening at about 7.30/8pm I go to the gym and right now I am doing 40-50mins worth of cardio.
When i start my night fillers job I want to keep my exercise up, but we will see how we go!! Dont want to wear myself out or anything but I LOVE exercising and staying fit cause its something that I can do by myself and I dont have a little one hanging off me :)
Why a reduction?! I guess I dont understand as I am small lol but if you do go in for a reduction you might want to go in for breast implants too cause my MIL when in for a reduction and 6 months later she doesnt like them cause they are still looking like they were! Going by the research I have done, I will be wanting to get implants PLUS a lift cause there is no point getting implants if they are still going to be sagging.

Megan - good luck with the living with the parents!! That thought has crossed my mind a few times but I dont think that Jason would go for it. We both want to move in the next year or so and I think moving back home is the best way to save money. And LOL I think we should start the 'Flat as a Pancake' club!!

Hey everyone,

Emma, the TF diet is going really really well. I would throughly recommend it to anyone. It's really easy to follow, I'm never hungry and I really enjoy what I'm allowed to eat. And in 6 days I have lost 1.3kg, so if I stay at this pace, I should loose about 6kg this month. That would be fantastic but I would also be happy with 4kg, so fingers crossed. It's not as strict as what the celebrity diet sounds. Supplement brk and lunch with either shakes or soups, and have a palm size protein with veges for dinner. You are also allowed 2 servings of fruit a day and can substitute 1 fruit for half choc bar, 5 wafers that you can top with avo and tomato which is what I do for added lunch. You can eat as much veges as you want as well as Diet Jelly, and diet softdrinks. I'm loving it.

V, you sound like you have turned into a health junky, good on you. I'm starting to get hooked again myself. When do you start the night fillers job?

Megan, I'm sure it will all be fine at your parents place. Sometimes Luke and I joke saying it would be fantastic to have a live in babysitter, lol. Enjoy the house to yourselves.

Jess, great to hear from you girl. How's the tummy coming along, I still haven't seem photos???? Hint hint hint, lol. Hope your taking it easy. Fingers crossed you have had no more bleeding or contractions. How's little Ethan going? Has he got an idea that there is a baby in mummies tummy?

Dani, good luck with the move.

Well as for us, we are good. Jack my poor little man is now getting his molars, he is a cross cutter like his big sister. They have been giving him such grief. Fingers crossed they poke through soon. And as for me, like I said to Emma, I have lost 1.3kg in 6 days, and really enjoying this diet. FIngers crossed it stays that way.

Anyway must be off to do the ironing.

Take care all.

Mel - Yes, I think I have turned in to a bit of a health junkie!! Its great tho, I love doing it. I think I will be starting the night fillers job next week, so trying to make the most of sitting at home. Its only 4 nights a week - tues, thurs, fri and sat - I am not going to have much of a weekend but doesnt matter cause we dont do anything at night! Well done on the 1.3kg loss in 6 days!! :cheer: You go girl!! :cheer: You'll loose what you want in no time :)

Hello to everyone! Hope you are all well in your part of the world

Ok im going to attempt personals but i dont think ill get very far but we'll see LOL

V- How's Avaleigh going with feeding herself??? B Boy has been feeding himself for abit now refuses to eat if we try to feed him these days... He does a pretty good job but still gets food everywhere LOL The other night i gave him bake beans and the lil bugger put a half full bowl on top of his head... I nearly died LOL

TOJ- How good are roast's? i try cook one atleast once a week... alot of people think they are hard but they really are easy.... 3KG that is HUGE.. Was it lamb, Beef or pork?????? roast lamb is the best .... :) Hows your pregnacy going? I cant believe your over half way already....

Dani- Hope the move went well and we look forward to hearing all about the new adventure whe you get back online....

Emma- Bayleigh is heaps better now but still has a runny nose that i cant get to stop :( I WANT SUMMER HERE.... I have never had so many colds before...

Megan- How long til your house is finished??? Good luck with living with your parents.... atleast you have your own space...

Mel- Congrates on the weight loss.. Great job...

Nicky- YAY the wedding is just around the corner how exciting..... Congrates on the BFP
Us- We are good trying to pack the house up see we are gunna try and start to move this weekend.. Thats if i can get into the new house to clean it in the next couple of days i really wanna clean the carpets and try and paint the kids rooms before we move furniture in there but i dont see me being able to paint....

My new car is awesome LOL i brought a 2002 BA Ford Falcon Station Wagon.. Its sooooo nice to drive.. so very different to my EL Falcon wagon.. Now i just need to lower it, get some nice wheels for it and tint the windows HOPEFULLY before summer.... Oh and hopefully in the new year we will put it on GAS....

Are there any Bubbas out there that are pinching.. When B boy doesnt get what he wants he will come up to me and pinch me or hit me.. Hes turning EVIL.. LOL Oh and the Sqealing is driving me insane... And he puts EVERYTHING in his mouth so im hoping he is FINALLY gettig more teeth.. He still olny has 4...

Well must head off Chloe has a friend over and i told her mum i would have her home by 530...

Sorry i know i missed a few people but i could only go back to the top of this page....
Have a lovely night

Sarah

Sarah, pinching and biting we seem to be dealing with. We are slowing getting there though, we just say a firm "no" "hurt". Most the times it makes him cry, but he seems to be a sensitive boy, lol.

Just has just cut the corner of his first molar, the other 3 are trying to break through as well. So hopefully he will settle soon. I hate teething time.

Hi Ladies

Mel- Poor Jack i hope his molars are quick! I hate teething time too, we are having a break from it at the moment thank god. Lol the tummy is growing nicely! I will get some more pics on to ethans site tonight, i have them on the camera but have been slack in putting them up. No more bleeding or contractions so im happy. Ethan has just started lifting my top up and he blows raspberries on my belly and laughs. I am trying to teach him bubs name too and when he is in a snuggly mood (rare!) he will lay there and rub my tummy. Very Cute.

Sarah- We had pinching a little while ago, but he was not really aware he was doing it, he would just do it if i was holding him, i would just tell him he mustn't pinch and would put him down after 3 times, he would cry, but i think ethans a sensitive boy also. Biting has only just started, but im not suprised as ethans cousin is a bad one for biting and she constantly tries to bite him :( He has only bit me twice but again no reason he just does it out of the blue.

Okay i have to go ethans calling from bed and Dh has just got back from being out with his mates i will pop back before bed and finish off. Night for now.

Hey everyone

how is everyone?

I am a bit worried about Avaleigh's eating. I've posted here this morning.. https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...g-worried.html
Tell me what you guys think and what I can do!!

BBL, going for a session at the gym now

V, just sounds like avaleigh is becoming more independant. I think you have done pretty well to be able to feed her until this age. Jack has been solo feeding now for a few months, it's messy, but he will just refuse to be fed my anyone but himself. Unless that is he gets fustrated he can't and will let you do it.
I would just let her do her own thing for a while and see where that takes the two of you. From memory Charlize refused to be feed by me from about 8-9months but she still is a very independant little girl.
But if it were me, I would just give her bit size peices of food, so she can pick them up herself and feed herself or you could try a spoon or fork. Jack loves to experiment with these. Hasn't mastered them yet but is getting pretty good and is pretty dam proud of himself when he picks a bit up with his fork and eats it, so cute.

V - sounds like Avaleigh is becoming Little Miss Independant to me as well. I agree with Mel, and just give her bite size pieces . The girls in your other thread have given some great advice too. Apparently at this age (according to my baby book) it seems like they eat hardly anything, compared to what they used to eat, but it just their bodies changing and needing less food than what they used to. She will definiately eat if she is hungry. Tom is a bit of a mixture, between wanting to do it himself but refuses to touch vegetables, so I serve up a plate of food, usually mashed vegies (not pureed) and pieces of meat, and while he is eating the meat with his fingers, I manage to spoonfeed some of the vegetables in there. He loves casseroles and things, and if you are worried about the amount of vegies she is getting, why don't you make up some rissoles and put lots of vegies in them. That way she can eat by herself. I made some the other day using chicken mince, and added in grated carrot, onion, zuchini and parsnip and Tom loved them. Good luck - I won't say don't stress - because if you are anything like me, you will be!

Hi to everyone else! Haven't got much time to post - I have come online to pay my car rego and I am stalling.. so much money - would rather spend it on new clothes :doh:. Hope everyone is well - everything is good here. Tom has now taken to walking everywhere on his knees. His poor little legs are so bruised because he is like a steam roller and goes straight over the top of everything, but he is surprisingly quick. And we have a biter too. It started yesterday - it seems he wants to taste everyone. It is generally either on our necks or stomachs, so I am thinking it is his version of a rather painful raspberry. Ok, must go pay this bill.. Bye for now!

Thanks Mel and Em for your thoughts. I guess I will just go with it and see how we go!! I told Jason that she hasnt eaten much and he thinks maybe she is a little unwell cause his tummy is 'funny'. So she is asleep at the moment so we will see how we go with lunch once she wakes up.

For weeks now I am been toying with the idea of buying a new car and I mean a NEW car with no or little km's on it. I know I can do it with my second job but I have decided to put the brakes on and be sensible!! I want to get out of some debt before I get some more debt!! So these are the goals I have set for myself..
1 - pay off atleast 50% of credit cards
2 - get the house refinanced
3 - save atleast 25% for breast implants
So they are my things I need to do before going and buy a nice new car!! I wonder what Jason will say when I tell him later.. I think he will be relieved!!

Better go and clean up after my lunch and make a coffee. Hope you are all great!!

Great goals V. I'm sure you will be able to achieve them in no time. And trust your instincts, at the end of the day you know best. Just see how she goes over the next couple of days.

Hi everyone,

I have nothing to say really, life is just same same at the moment, but thought I should just pop in and say a quick hi to you all. Liam's walking is coming along nicely, but other than that we have no new tricks. I have been really really bad with food today - bought a cherry ripe type chocolate bar from Aldi, then my neighbour went to target & bought a real Cherry Ripe (cos it was only 99c, so bargain), and then I got home & ate both of them. Which is partly because I'm so tired at the moment (thanks to regular & on-going overnight wakings), & I always eat more rubbish when I'm tired, but also partly because I seem to have no self control sometimes when it comes to sugar. The only good thing is that I went for a walk afterwards, for over an hour & with a couple of serious hills, so maybe got rid of a couple of mouthfuls. Actually, the really evil thing is that I think I could still eat more sugar. Why oh why can't I crave apples??

And I have a maybe dumb question about breast implants (but I've never thought about it before, so that's my excuse), and the question is what impact would implants have on BFing?? Cos this would be my biggest concern with them, I wouldn't want anything to impact my ability to BF until I knew I was done with this, but that's just me, not a judgement on anyone's choices.

And as always, Liam's crying, so gotta go. How does he always know when I'm on BB & writing a post???

I know probably everyone is different, but my friend BF her first boy with no problem, then after implants had her next boy. And he couldn't attach properely. Could be a coincidence or not, who knows. I would say not, but that's just my uneducated guess.

Hi everyone

OMG i dont think i have ever seen so much vomit or diarreah!! Ethan now has gastro and the poor little bugger is so unwell, we are having constant baths and going through so much clothes and bedding! Thankgod his flu is disappearing though. I have developed a horrible cough and the dr has put me on ventolin for awhile as i have a coughing fit and cant breathe. Belly bub is fine, jumping around happily and constantly has hiccups, just like Ethan.

Any way i must head off to bed, will pop in tomorrow:)

Have a lovely weekend all.

Hey Everyone!!

Jan - in answer to your question about what impact implants have on breast feeding.. from what I have read that you can still breastfeed because the implants, well most of the time, are put behind your muscle and the breast tissue so your breasts can still develope normally when you are pregnant. But it is something that you would need to ask about with the surgeon. thats one of my main concerns plus I am worried about how my skin, well the stretch in my skin, when your breasts get bigger during pregnancy. I dont know if my skin would be able to stretch that far and go back to normal as now, my skin is a bit loose. It may be because I loss 30kg since Avaleigh and it might go back to the way it was, but I am not entirely sure about that! I am young so heres hoping. That would be on of my first questions I would be asking cause there is no point going in and doing it all if I need to go back in again and get another breast lift cause my skin sagged even more!

I started my night fill job last night. I was sooo much fun!! I actually felt like I was doing something instead of 'pushing paper at a desk'. I did about 6 hours last night and going in for another 4 today, maybe longer if they need me. I am determined to make this work. I think that Jason is happy that I can home enthusiastic last night. SO we are going to try and make this work, just means that Jason will need to take on more of a 'mum' roll with Avaleigh and get her to sleep.

Anyway, better go, Avaleigh is getting frustrated about SOMETHING and we need to get to the shops cause I realised yesterday I have no casual clothes (cause they all went in the bin) to do this night fill stuff.

Bye bye!!

Hi girls just a quick one
Hope you are all having a awesome weekend....
I will be offline for a few days We are going to try and move today wanted to do it yesterday but i have spent 10 + hours a day for the last 2 days TRYING to clean a house dat hasnt been cleaned i 12 months and has been lived in by a very dirty old man It was disgusting so i have bleached everything i could if i couldnt bleach it i disinfected it I think i now have a clean house to move into...

Sarah

Just a quick hi to let you all know we are still alive.
6 weeks pregnant today, and 6 days until I am married
Probably won't be back online until after the wedding, and maybe even not until after our honeymoon,so I hope you all have a great week/s.

xxoo

Nicky - WIshing you and your DF and Lachlan a wonderful wedding day. Relax and enjoy your special day.

Wishing you a wonderful day on Saturday Nicky, I'm sure it will be just perfect. Can't wait to hear all about it.

Nicky- Wishing you a fantastic day on saturday... Cant wait to hear all about and Specially cant wait to see pics :)

Sarah

Nicky - Have a wonderful day on Saturday!! Hope you are feeling well!!

:hello: to everyone else!! Very quiet in here.......

Nicky - have a fantastic day on Saturday, and a lovely honeymoon.

Liam tried to leave home again today. We watched him as he toddled off out the front gate, then crawled across the road (without looking!!), then down the street, around the corner... each time Pat tried to turn him around to come home he just got cranky, and insisted on keeping on going. It's kind of funny, but also a bit of a worry for when he can really walk, I don't think I'll be turning my back on him that's for sure.

We've been boring so nothing to write about really, just the same old same old. I made a some great chicken meatball-type things yesterday which he simply rejected, ungrateful child. So I chopped them up & then mixed them with the previous nights dinner & bingo, down a treat. And he got them again tonight but this time mixed up with some vegie-mix cubes. So I guess the winner is me :)

Hi to everyone else, hope all the house moving is coming along okay.

Hi Eveyone,

I've been MIA for a while am just in the last bit of getting over a flu I've had for 2+weeks. It has been horrible, one of the sickest I have been in my life!

Noah is going well. He hasn't had any new teeth for ages now but he has 4on top and 4 on bottom. He says dada, mama, nana, bubba, car, dog, ta, botbot (bottle), and bye. His newest trick in rollypolly where you make your hands into fists and roll them around each other in the front of your body (does that make sense?)

He still isn't walking and only occasionally stands completely by himself. I think he's the only one in here not walking and he is the only one at mothers group, except for one baby who only started crawling at 12months and only really commando crawls. everyone at mothers group is suprised because Noah was one of the first ones to do everything. He has been able to hold his head up, look around and support his own weight since birth (something that was commented on by midwives and chn) been sitting since 5months, crawling at 6, pulling himself up and walking holding on to furniture etc since 6.5months so not sure any advice or comments? I know it's normal etc but I don't know I just want him to walk lol!

Pregnancy is going well I'm 10w5days so almost at that magical 12weeks!

Nicky, Oh my goodness it's tomorrow!!!! Congrats I cannot wait to hear all about it and see pics!!!

Hey Jas, sorry to hear you've been sick, I'm so glad winter is over, hopefully all of the nasty bugs that have been floating around will start to disappear for a while, to give us all a break from sick kids & sick us!

Re Noah's walking, TBH, I wouldn't worry about it yet, although it's hard not to when it looks like "everyone" else's kid is doing it. Liam only started a couple of weeks ago (maybe 3?) and it came from nowhere, he didn't start by standing on his own, he just went from holding onto furniture to walking, BUT he has no words like Noah. Lots of sounds, but definitely not anything that I could say was a meaningful word, so I would look at kids like Noah & think that they're so much more advanced than Liam & then start worrying about how I could do more to teach him words. So you see, it's a circular argument. There's a little girl in my MG, who's a June baby, who isn't particularly interested in moving, but who can point to your nose, your ears, your hair etc - when I try to teach Liam these things he just looks at me as if I'm a bit mental. They're all learning different things at different times, and Noah will definitely get there. And then he might turn into a rascal like my kid & start taking himself out for a walk, which is a whole new world of vigilance ;)

Lol thanks that's so true! Noah knows what a nose is (gee thats a bit of a tongue twister) He also has a new trick where if you do something he doesn't like he lays down flat on his back and kicks his legs around hehe oh and he also knows you know the scrolly thing on the mouse so you can go up and down well he's figured out how to do that and he also gets Phil's xbox controlled and moves the joysticks around with his thumbs and gets bottles and moved his hand round like he's opening it but he doesn't cause he doesn't know to grip on to the lid so he is pretty clever. I have a feeling on day he might just start running. Nana was telling me thats what my mum did wasn't walking at all and then one day literally started running lol Noah's just cheeky enough to do that oh the other thing thats funny that he does is if Phil and I don't let him do something he starts calling out nana nana nana!! lol

well just as I posted that there was a dvd on in main menu and Noah has just started it! when it comes to technology our boy is very clever lol

hey everyone!

hope everyone is well in here. just a quick one from me as I am about to take a nap while avaleigh is sleeping. I've been doing the nightfilling job for a week now and last night we worked through until 3am which meant i only got 4 hrs sleep before avaleigh woke up! so going to have a nap for the run tonight, which i dare say, is going to be another long one!

avaleigh is going great. ALL her teeth are out now!! eating is going much better since they are all out and she has just been a joy.

anyway, better go and make the most of a baby sleeping and sleep myself

take care all!
