Awww cute nappies PP!!! DD#2 is probably more interested in toilet because of big sister, however! She doesn't indicate if there is something in her nappy......although this morning, DD#1 jumped up from playing and yelled, "Poo!" (she informs everyone when she needs to go to the toilet and exactly what she needs to do ) and DD#2 put her hand to her bottom and said almost forlornly too, "Poo" and then threw her toy to the ground and walked to her bedroom to her change table. So there I am, all proud as punch thinking how amazingly advanced my little one is to find that there was nothing in her nappy!! Ah but its a start, hehehehehehe

Oh and in regards to climbing, yes, DD#2 tries where possible. I turned to see her on top of an upturned box on the tiles (if she was sitting on the box her legs would be dangling that's how high the box is, lol)

Oh better go, DH bathing the girls and DD#1 is being a, shall we say, testing banana and splashing her sister in the face even though she herself HATES water on her face!! Good grief!

Chat soon!
Mwa!!

Hi Girls,

Your little ladies seem to be coming on in leaps and bounds!
Charly my SIL thinks her DS#2 is so much faster at speaking due to copying DS#1, sounds like you have the same thing happening there!

And Teepee, Mikalyla is such a smart cookie, I reckon she will be Prime Minister one day

Starfish - what a relief to finish your assignments I bet. Good luck with your results.

PP -fancy Ashley climbing like that already! Lewis doesn't climb at all, I mean not even onto the couch!! I think he is going to be a scaredy cat like his Mum Although he does love hanging upside down.....
BTW, no I am nowhere near thinking about toilet training. I think I will wait until he is nearer two unless he shows signs before that.

Well we have both been struck down with colds this week so no swimming or much else. Both feeling better today though. Lewis was off his food for days but am glad he is back on track now.

I went for my first acupuncture session yesterday as part as my 'pre - ttc regime"! She has given me some herbs to take which luckily are in capsule form not the stinky raw ones. So another step in the right direction hopefully. We are thinking about TTC as of december, giving me anopther month to get this body into tip top condition!

Lewis did a cute thing today. I always pretend to sneeze to make him laugh and in the car I went Ah, Ah, Ah Choo. He copied me and went Ah, Ah, Ah, ...CAR! That boy is obsessed already!

Hello Ladies.....Hope you remember me!!

wow ive just did a major read through of 6pages+ of posts WOW all your little ones are getting so much bigger and older!! Doing amazing things, saying amazing stuff and just impressing me!! Cant imagine how proud you all are of your little (well not so little) ones!!

As you can tell by my ticker im officailly utd!! Im due 6 days after Lachies 2nd bday which is scary but if its gonna be anything like Lachie, i'll be 17days over again!! hehe (really hope not)

Lachlan is doing well, a little too well iykwim, just growing in leaps and bounds and i struggle to keep up, his newest thing is to climb up onto our lounge and muck around, laughing his head off!! and fav word of the month NO!!!

Well im really glad to hear how everyone is going, i miss being in here, will try to pop in more often so not to loose my baby buddies!!

[Charlyfrog]

Naomi - lovely to see you!! and Wooohoooooo on being pg!! So exciting!! Yay!
Yes all our little ones are growing amazingly fast aren't they?!? Seriously! Where has the time gone?! And now the second wave of little munchkins has begun........no 'third' waves here just yet, lol........yoiks! DH & I would fall over if I got pg any time soon I'm still desperately crossing my fingers for the future however, DH......ahhh not so much Keep us updated lovey!! xx

MumofLewis - yes I think it's having the older sibling that speeds little ones up somewhat in some areas.....although, that being said, I used to be "Bum" then was promoted to "Mum" to since find myself being referred to as "Bah-meeeee"

[MumofLewis]

Congratulations Naomi!!!!!!!!!!! How exciting. Let's hope it's catching in here
Hope you are feeling okay.

How are our other Mums2b feeling??

[PinkPalace]

congrats naomi! wishing you a healthy pregnancy!!

Well the past few nights we have been putting DD in her portacot to sleep then at 10pm when DH goes to bed he picks her up and puts her in the big bed. Then in the morning she wake, climbs out and comes and sees us yay!

But still wont start off in her bed big... we will get there!


Ashley also has new words... 'fall down' 'where'd it go?' and 'go' lol

[teepee2]

Good to see you back in here Naomi - now dont you forget us ever again!! LOL Congrats again on the pg hun xx

PP have you tried lying in the bed with Ashley until she goes to sleep? Thats what we do with Mikayla (otherwise she'll hop out and go play!) DH will lie with her until she falls asleep and she's usually fine after that - though recently she's been waking between 3-5am and coming into our room. As soon as she hits the pillow in our bed she's fast asleep again!!! Isnt it sooo cute when you can hear them get up and toddle into your room

Well my sister flies in from London on Sat morning (this time for good!). I've told Mikayla that she'll be seeing her again - last time was in Sept - dont know if she really understands but she seems quite excited. We were due to go in tomorrow for her 12 month vaccination but dont want her to be sick or grumpy on Sat so have put it off again until next Friday. She's had either a cough or cold pretty much the whole time since she was 12 months and my GP told me that she really should be 100% before the jabs but if she doesnt have it soon then it'll be too late for her 18mth one!!

Anyone else finding that their little ones arent eating much? Mikayla hasnt had much of an apetite for the last couple of weels. She's still very active and happy but doesnt really want to eat. This morning I made her an egg and a peice of toast - she ate the egg but didnt want the toast. Dropped her off at mums as I had to go to work and mum said she hasnt had much lunch at all - which seems to be the norm these days. All she seems to want to eat are grapes, blueberries or strawberries but she cant just live on fruit. My GP told me to go out and get her some vitamins which i did but theres no way in hell she'll have any. She took 1 dose when I first bought it but now she starts running away saying "no" when she sees the bottle!!!

[MumofLewis]

Hey, where did everyone go?

Hope you are all well. We are fine, Lewis has a new fascination with planes, when he hears one go over he points to the sky in delight, which is fine apart from when he is supposed to be going to sleep

Teepee - I find Lewis goes through phases with his eating, but if I don't put him in his high chair and sit and feed him he won't eat much at all. Far too many other things to be doing! How are you anyway, do you have a bump yet?

[teepee2]

I was thinking the same thing. Where is everyone!!!!

Sarah I have a HUGE bump!!! I look 30 weeks pregnant instead of 18 (well not quite but just about!) I went to see my OB on Monday and he said that with your second you usually feel and look about 10 weeks ahead of where you are!! I'd hate to imagine what I'll be like at 40 weeks!!!!!! How's the new job??

Mikayla has picked up yet another cold just when she's supposed to be having her immunisation on Friday. I hope the doc doesnt decide to put it off again - its way too long overdue as it is!!!

The little miss is becoming a real parrot lately. She repeats everything we say. And I mean EVERYTHING!!!! We've even had a few attempted expletives LOL

Hope all the absentees are doing well and that your little monkeys are behaving for you xx

[Charlyfrog]

Oh its so exciting to hear about all you pg ladies - and those with newbies again! So fun!!

Well I have been waiting so long to shout from the rooftops and now I'm allowed tooooooooo:

MY SISTER IS PREGNANT!!!!!

We are so close and I am sooooooooooooo excited to be an aunty!! She will be 12weeks tomorrow. I am an aunty already but this is really special. I can't wait to be kicked in the head by my niece or nephew.......like DD#2 did to my sister while I was pg, lol!!! I'm almost peeing myself I'm so excited!! YAY! Have an excuse to go nuts on baby things again, hehehe. Also, we've offered quite a bit of our bubby things to her and her DH which makes it somewhat easier to part with, iykwim. I'll still have visiting rights......lol! Plus, fingers crossed I may need them back one day, titter titter.

I'll be back later to do some more updates on my cherubs, but I just had to share!!!

[teepee2]

Thats great news Charly. Congrats to your sister and her DH!!!!!

[PinkPalace]

Teepee - ashley lost her appetite a week or 2 ago - turns out she got hand foot and mouth from the playgym! but her appetite is back now

Yay charly on being an aunty!!! (to be)

Well this is a fly by visit (dont have the time i used to with 2 littles now!!)

But here are some pics of ashleys xmas dress i made her today!!

https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...hp?photo=10715

[teepee2]

PP love the xmas dress. Its gorgeous!!! And Ashley is looking so big!!

It turns out Mikayla has a bad cold and yet another throat infection - 3rd one in 6 months - so we had to put her 12 month vacc off again! We weren't happy about it but our doc said that she really needs to be clear of any infection before she can have it. She's on antibiotics again and I need to take her straight back when I think she's better to have her vacc just incase it flares up again. He's told me to give her 2 course of a/b's this time to make sure it clears up - hopefully for good!!

I've been having a few spewy days lately and feeling a little off but apart from that all is going well. I think I'll probably come down with her cold soon too

Its been very quiet in here lately, hope everyone is ok xx

[PinkPalace]

hi tina!
I hope the m/s goes away for you!! it sucks!!! but congrats on 18 weeks! have you had a scan?

i hope Mik gets better soon. It is hard when they have recurring infections.
Ashleys 18month shots are next month - the same time at DS's 2 month shots... so that will be interesting.... busy for me in that nurses office! lol

[Celsie]

I'm alive!!! Sorry for being MIA AGAIN... but I have a good excuse. I've been on holidays with my gorgeous little family. So, you can't really hold that against me.

Tina - I'm still vomiting from time to time too. It's driving me insane! I had no morning sickness past the 14 week mark with Caeleb and this one just seems to be going on and on. Are you having any kicks yet? I've been having little kicks and flutters for about 2 weeks now. It's funny, because when I was PG with Caeleb, they were really strong by now. I remember at the 19 week scan, I could feel the kick and see it on the screen at the same time. And my belly is so much smaller this time around. I hardly look pregnant at all... I've got the "Is she pregnant or just a little bit fat?" bump happening.

Charly - wonderful news about your sister!!! I can understand your excitement. I'd LOVE to have a sister to share that sort of journey with, but since I was the only girl out of four children, I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.

Sarah - how's the TTC journey going? I've been hoping that you'd pop in with a and suprise us. I have everything crossed for you my lovely. I'm sure you'll be joining Tina and I in our morning sickness complaints in no time.

PP - how's that gorgeous little man of yours going? It only seems like yesterday that you made your birth annoucement and now you're talking about 2 month old vaccinations. Crazy how time flys huh?

Update from our little world. Caeleb now has eight teeth. He had four and then while we were away, he cut another four, just like that. We couldn't believe it. And he really wasn't even that grumpy. Just a little unsettled during the night.

Speaking of being unsettled during the night... we are FINALLY SLEEPING THROUGH! I'm so proud of him. I know most other children were sleeping through by six months, but we did it our way with gentle sleep solutions and he's done it in his own time. He'd been sleeping for 7 hours or so straight since about six months, but we couldn't crack the all night sleep that we'd heard so much about. So, a big pat on the back for Caeleb!!!

We've also started to use our words a lot more. He's got loads of words that he's said once and never seemed to say again and now they're just popping up all the time. My favourite at the moment is "Bob". Bob is one of our cats. I just love the ways he says it. Like it's the most important word in the whole world.

My 19 week scan isn't until next Thursday week, so I'm a little frustrated I have to wait that long to see the little bubba again. I feel so terrible. Almost the moment that I'd found out I was pregnant with Caeleb, I was out buying things. This time around, I've bought nothing. I don't even know why... maybe because we've got SO much stuff from when Caeleb was a baby. I see loads of cute little baby things and I never get the urge to buy anything. That's just not normal behaviour... LOL

Anyway... Caeleb's getting tired and needs a nap! Hope you're all doing well and I look forward to hearing from you all soon!

Mwah!

[MumofLewis]

Hi Girls,

PP - you are a supermum, 2 kids and still making cute dresses!

Charly - Congrats on your sister's pregnancy, how exciting And I'm sure it will remind DH just how cuddly newborns are and how you NEED another one in your house

Teepee - How funny that Mikalyla is already picking up certain words, who knew you had to mind your language so soon! I'm sure you don't look 30 weeks pregnant BTW, although they do say that muscle memory means it just stretches right out again don't they?! Mine hasn't shrunk back in yet anyway!

Celsie - so you're hardly showing? You must have stomach muscles of steel! Congrats on Caeleb sleeping through finally, just in time for the new bub!

Are either of you finding out the sex of your baby this time?

We are fine, I'm not TTC until next month, am taking chinese herbs and acupuncture to get my body ready, so December is the big month! Since I've been having the herbs I have noticed strong ovulation signs which I've never had before so hopefully that's a good sign.

Lewis still isn't saying many words but he does plenty of new actions. He points to the sky when a plane goes over and he points to his head when he sees a hat. He also tickles his own feet if you ask him to! He does chat non stop but still only really says car and cak (duck) that is clear to me.

I put a santa outfit on him the other day to take a photo for this year's xmas card. Well that was a challenge getting him to sit still or keep the hat on. I still haven't managed to get a good one.

What is everyone getting the little ones for Christmas? We aren't going crazy just getting him some blocks, bath toys etc. His grandparents have bought him a big tonka truck which he will love.

Anyway time for dinner ......

[teepee2]

****** Runs in and looks around ******
****** Stands with hands on hips! Where is everyone???? ******

Sarah we've bought Mikayla a trampoline for christmas. She had a go on a friends one a while back and absolutely loved it! I know she's probably still too little but we got one with a net around it so I can just pop her in and she can play to her hearts content!! I figured it would be good for her co-ordination too - she tries to jump all the time - very funny sight. She squats right down and then springs back up again really quickly - her feet never leave the ground of course but none-the-less she thinks she's jumping

M is still not over the throat infection which is getting a little frustrating. On 2nd course of antibiotics. If she's not better in couple of days I think I'll take her to see the paediatrician!!

Oh and Miss Charly!! Just following on from my other post, in the other thread, in the other place..... You'd better not disappear on us in here too or you'll be in BIIIIIGGGGG trouble!!! We could never go on without your bright and cheerful posts!!! Who else is going to make us all laugh

[Celsie]

Tina - have you had your 19 week scan yet? I'm not having mine till next Thursday. We're not finding out what the gender is, so it's just a case of finding out if the baby is all healthy.

Sarah - We've got Caeleb a trampoline for Christmas too. He's never been on one, but it's got padding and a net around it, so I think it's quite safe. We've also bought him a swing set. That's actually worked out to be the cheapest part of the present. Buying shade sails, poles to attach them to, cement to secure them in the ground and then soft bark chips for him to land on is far more expensive.

I also bought him a Cozy Coupe from Little Tykes and a Tonka Workbench. He's going to love them!!!

Caeleb also "jumps". He's so funny and yet so proud of himself.
