Which photo is it PP? The playgym? Looks like fun!!!

Great news about the possibility of a new job Sarah!!!

I took Caeleb to get weighed and measured today. First time since he was 10 1/2 months old. He was 11.2 kilos, right smack bang in the 50th percentile. He was 84cm. The lady didn't believe me, so she measured him again. He's in the 95th percentile for his height. I knew he was tall, but WOW!!!

Oh, I had my first pre-natal visit at the hospital with the midwife. Yeah... BOUNTY BAG! Not so yeah! It didn't have a block of chocolate in it... it had... PINEOCLEAN! WTF?!?!? I WANT CHOCOLATE DAMN IT!!! I don't even use disinfectant in my home!!!

Hi ladies and gent

How is everyone going? It seems like I've been gone for ages - hope i havent missed too much! I have occasionally been lurking but havent posted - my cousin who I had mentioned had caner passed away a couple of weeks ago so things have been rather unsettled here lately, but its all starting to come back to normal so hopefully I'll have a bit more time to catch up with you all now!

Mikayla is going great. She chatters all day long, which I must admit drives me crazy at times and is running around like she's been on her feet for years!! No matter what I do I just cant get her to sit still for a minute! She's saying alot more now, she seems to come up with a new word every day - her newest phrase is "sit here" which sounds sooo cute. But all we hear pretty much all day and night at the moment is mumma, dadda, nonna (grandma in Italian), nonno (grandpa), daisy (from the night garden), up, down, no more, and of course BABY (this one is her absolute favourite)!!!

And can someone please tell me that their child already has more attitude than they know what to do with - please tell me I'm not the only one! My little devil is starting to get so temperamental. If she doesnt get what she wants when she wants to starts to scream at the top of her voice and if one of us is within reach then she'll scratch and claw us with such agression!!! This is normal right???? Or do I just have a very very naughty child???

We've now moved her into a big girl bed. Its actually a toddler bed so its low enough to the ground so she can get in and out on her own. So far its worked wonders We stay with her till she falls asleep (which can sometimes take a while) and she'll usually sleep through to between 5.30 and 7.30am at which point she comes into bed with us. A couple of nights she's woken at about 2.30am and one of us just sits with her till she goes back to sleep. She really seems to like sleeping in the bed. I'm now thinking that the problem was that she just felt trapped in a cot - the idea that she can get out on her own if she wants to seems to put her at ease and she doesnt fight going to bed anymore!!!

We went to see some friends last night who have a 3 week old little girl who now weighs the same as Mikayla did at birth, and OMG she is sooooo tiny! I just cant believe that my active, talkative & headstrong daughter was ever that little!!!

Well I'm 10 weeks today and have my NT scan on 3rd October. I wonder if I as this scared last time - cause right now I'm pretified. I know my 7 weeks scan was perfect but I'm so scared that something will go wrong that I almost dont want to have the u/s. I think I'm so worried because this pregnancy is totally different so far to what is was with Mikayla. Although I do have morning sickness its no where near as bad as it was. Of course I know every pregnancy is different but I cant help feeling that it might be a bad sign just cant wait to see my little bub moving around so that I can put the worry behind me once and for all!!

PP all the best for the next 5 weeks hun. Cant wait to hear all about the safe arrival of your new little bundle!!!

Hope all the kiddies are doing well and not running a-muk (well not too often anyway)

Take care xx

I hear you, although I wouldn't say it's attitude so much, more like frustration. We can't effectively communicate with him and neither can he, so his frustration comes out in the form of a screaming fit. It's funny, as it's only been the last couple days. We're thinking about bringing in some form of time out, just for one minute, but we need him to understand that screaming and crying will not be tolerated. I feel sorry for him. It will be so much easier when he has the words.

I'm not worried at all about the scan. In fact, I've been so laid back about this pregnancy, it's not funny! Most of the time I forget I'm pregnant, besides my little bulging waistline and the vomiting... oh and the fatigue. I've been so "meh" about the whole thing, not that I don't love this little one, I just can't be bothered with all the fuss this time!

[MumofLewis]

yes Teepee, Lewis has all of a sudden got plenty of attitude! He shakes his head ALL the time now when he doesn't like something I do and he doesn't like his hand held in public so he pushes my hand away! And he pushes objects away which I don't like at all, say I offer him his water he will push the cup away. So that's something I'm trying to teach him is not nice. Ah what fun!

Good luck for your scan I'm sure everything will be fine. I think most girls I know who have had 2 kids find that their pregnancies are really different. I thought you two were much further ahead than you are! Must be because we found out so early.

We went to the beach again today, DH was saying how much more fun it is when you have kids to play with !

Well i have the feeling DD hates me. She has been in a foul mood the past few days (teeth). and throws and hits me and i tell DH and when he comes home she is a perfect cuddly loving angel...

[teepee2]

Thats always the way isnt it PP. They give you hell all day then when daddy comes home its all peaches and cream!!!

Sarah Mikayla does the same thing except she takes whatever your giving her then just throws it on the floor - arrrggghhh they can be so frustrating at times cant they?? and then they go and do something so cute and sweet that our hearts melt and we forget all the bad stuff!!!!

Cels they're a little young for time out arent they?? I thought they had to be over 2 to really understand what it all means. Good luck with it. I hope it works - if it does we'll all be coming to you for tips and advise
