Hi,
Charly - Congrats on finding something so exciting to do! And you can work it round being a Mum too, even better!
Celsie - Poor Caeleb, teething really knocks them about doesn't it? Lewis is just about to sprout his final canine, and I will be so glad when he does. I think after that there is only 4 molars left isn't there for a while? Hope so, they must feel really lousy when their gums are sore.
We went to the Teddy Bears Picnic today, along with the rest of Sydney!! There were queues a mile long for everything and it was sooo hot! Never again :wall: Lewis did get very excited when he saw the Thomas ride though and said 'TSSS' about 1000 times, which means Thomas.
I'm off to get his feet measured properly tomorrow as they are so wide, not many shoes fit him. I don't know where he got his massive feet from!!!
-
Thanks girls. To top it off Caeleb now has a cold and a cough. Poor little mite woke up with a completely crusted over nose this morning. Don't ask me how he was breathing through it... I can see the two teeth next to his front teeth almost through, so let's hope it's just those two and then he can have a break for a while.
Sarah - I know what you mean about big feet. Caeleb has huge feet. He's walking around in a pair of size seven thomas sandals at the moment for garden shoes, although they are a little bit big. The size six only gave him about 1cm before his toes were hanging over the end. His feet are completely flat too. I was thinking that next time I take him to the doctor for something, I'd show him and see what he has to say. I think his flat feet may have something to do with the way he walks. He's still a little "thunderbird-ish" in his movement. Not badly, but I notice it.
He just walked past with clear snot running down his face and protested like a mad man when I wiped it away with a tissue. LOL - What would he rather?!? :rolleyes:
Feeling a whole lot better this week. I have some energy again and almost feel human. The great thing is I can be a Mummy to Caeleb again. I can play around and chase him and have fun like we used to before I got pregnant! YAY!
I must go. Someone is insanely jealous of the computer. As soon as I sit down and start typing he'll whinge to be picked up. :rolleyes:

Thats really weird you mentioning flat feet, we were discussing it last night too! Lewis's feet seem really flat so we googled it as dH is worried about it. However it seems it is fine until they are about 2-3 as they have alot of baby fat on their feet until then so the arches don't develop properly. DH is worried he won't become a professional footballer if he has flat feet:lol: I will see what they say at the shoe shop today and let you know.
Lewis has become very sensitive all of a sudden. He did something funny today and DH and I both laughed. Well he got so upset that we were laughing and just sobbed his little heart out and clung onto me for ages. We felt so guilty! So now we are going to have to laugh when he's not looking til he gets over it!!

Hello all! Just thought I'd let you all know that DD#1 had her first day of pre-entry kindy on Friday and I am completely hopeless :redface: Its only for 2 hours, we live 3 seconds away and yet I still had a tear when I got home :rolleyes: ninny! :D She even said to me that after I had finished at the shops, not to come and pick her up because she wants to play for a long time, hehehe. THe little sweet heart looked very unsure when I did go and pick her up though, relieved that mummy was back. I later found out that she had been bopped on the head with a paintbrush! However......there is always two sides to every story ;) so a learning curve for all, lol.
Hope everyone is doing really well and for those south australians, staying cool!! Yeesh, yucky weather!!
DD#2 has a snuffly gaggy throat/nose atm, we slept on the couch one night and I on her floor the next. Poor little moochy gagged so much that she & I wore it :rolleyes: ahhhh noice! :D But still happy and chatty the little love.
Well chat soon I hope????? :hug:
Mwa!!

Hugs Charly!
they all grow so up fast....

Hi everyone,
Charly - sounds like DD1 is a professional already and very brave too!
Lewis got tooth #16 this week and what a nightmare it's been, sleepless nights, no appetite and really grumpy, and that's just me :ROFL:!!
He's much better today though and we've had a lovely day. DH has been at work all day so we went out to the park and sat on the swing together for ages, singing in the sun. For some reason he hasn't realised yet that I have a terrible voice!
He has started copying words that I say which is really cute. I think his second word might be duck or cat which at the moment is guck and cak!
One thing he has been doing which concerns me a bit, is when he is being mischevious or wants to get out of his highchair, he bangs his head on the wall behind him. I"m sure I've seen this behaviour on Supernanny so am hoping it's just a frustration phase! Does anyone else's little one do that?
-
Sarah - my eldest brother Nick (who is now in his 40's) used to do that. My parents took him to the doctor and he said that he was just doing it to get a reaction out of you and that he wouldn't do it hard enough to hurt himself. Little cherub. :rolleyes:
We've just helped my parents move. They now live 2 hours away, which is good and bad. I'll miss them, although it's nice to finally have my house back. They moved in 2 months before Caeleb was born... so they've been here a long time!
Charly - I can sympathise with the sick DD. Caeleb's had a similar thing. Must be going around. We finally found him a playgroup which I really really like and he goes and gets a cold the very next day! :doh: So, we missed playgroup, the playgroup trip to the zoo and swimming this week. He's been teething on-top of it all too. Although we're yet to see any evidence of teeth. LOL I bought him a baltic amber teething necklace to help with the pain and it seems to be working. DH was very sceptical at first... now not so much... maybe a little.
Don't you hate it when you sit down to catch up on BellyBelly and it goes quiet? And you think... what's he up to?!? :rofl:
Update on my cysts. The one that was causing the pain has collapsed, but the one on the left is larger. It's not causing any pain, so they're just going to keep and eye on it. It was the best scan I've ever done. The girl who did it, I say girl because she was younger than me, but she's a woman. Anyway, she was just so lovely. Went all over the baby and was showing us little fingers and toes. She took some more photos for us too. The ob that I saw at the hospital wants me to have my scan at 18 weeks. I swear I had it at 19 with Caeleb. Does it make any difference? Is it better to wait that week longer?
Okay, it's been quiet for a whole two minutes, which can only mean trouble. Hope you're all enjoying your weekends.

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been MIA lately but we're short staffed in the office so I've had to start working full time - probably till after xmas - so I've been very tired. So much for the sleepiness disappearing in the 2nd trimester!!!
I havent had a chance to look back on all the post but will try to have a look later tonight.
I cant believe all your little ones have so many teeth!! Mikayla only has her front 8 and her bottom 2 molars have just broken through. She has a long way to catch up :) We've had the sickness bug here too. Mikayla has just gotten over a throat infection but still has a bit of a runny nose and cough. It jusst doesnt seem to want to go away!!!
Celsie I was told at my 12 weeks scan that its best to have the next one at 19 weeks (or even 3 or 4 days after that). They said that they can get a clearer picture of everything they have to check if its just after the 19 week mark. In saying that though I'm sure your OB wouldnt have suggested 18 weeks if it wasnt ok - checking on your cyst must be more of a priority to him. I hope that 2nd one doesnt flare up and give you any pain :hug:
Well best be off now. I'm making home made pizza and the bread machine is beeping (yes I'm a cheat I know!!)
Will be back as soon as I have some time to myself.
Take care xx

charlyfrog enters with head hung in shame as she realises that she missed wishing Celsie a Happy birthday for a month ago!!!! :redface:
Just wandering aimlessly through the forums, went to message forum and see "Happy Birthday Celsie"!! :o Yeesh! What planet have I been on?!?!?! :hide: Sounds like you had a really special time love! I shall now go back under my rock....... :D xx

Hi everyone
I have been MIA recently as I have been finishing my uni assignments. I handed my last one in this week, which means that if I pass everything, I have finished my Masters. Yay! Now to find a job...
Diana is doing really well. A few weeks ago she did the cutest thing: she got one of my singlets out of a pile I was folding and insisted on wearing it out as a dress. She looked so cute in it, like she was wearing a toga or something...
She has said her first proper word: "doggy". It sounds more like "doddy", but she says it every time she sees a dog, so that must be what she means. She also understands a lot of what is said to her, e.g. the other day I asked her to get her slippers and she went and got them and brought them to me. She knows that putting her shoes on means that we are going out and sometimes she tries to give me a hint that she wants to go to the park by bringing me her shoes and asking me to put them on her. The other day she brought me my shoes... So cute... (although not so much when it is early morning and I am trying to get a bit of a lie in...)
She loves animals and tries to play with them every chance she gets. Yesterday we went to playgroups in the park and she had a great time in the petting zoo, where she got to play with baby goats and sheep, and to look at rabbits, ducklings and chickens.
Diana is a bit slow in the teeth department too. She has a total of 11 teeth at the moment, 8 in the front and 3 molars.
Hope you're all doing well, especially all you pregnant ladies. :)

Oh Charly!!! You're SO sweet!!! And it's fine. I would not expect anyone on here to know when my birthday is. But, thank you non the less. MWAH!
Congratulations Starfish on finishing all your assignments!!! :hooray:
I'm feeling a lot better this week. I think I've felt the baby move quite a few times now. My dear, dear friend Kerry (Kbowman) sent me her doppler than she used with her pregnancy, so I can now hear my little one's heartbeat any time I like. She's so good to me.
Caeleb is now over his cold/cough that he had, so we're out and about again. Off to visit a friend in Adelaide today and going to playgroup tomorrow. And of course swimming on Saturday. :hooray:
He's standing in the ensuite, giving me a cheeky look. He has his Daddy's Ipod and is threatening to "wash" it in the toilet. He's obsessed with water. I gave him his watering can to play with yesterday... and no sooner had I turned around and he was trying to fill it up from the toilet. I guess it's quite clever when you think about it. It is the only access he has to water in the house! LOL Either way... it wasn't going to happen!
Do you all feel like you're always saying "NO!". Caeleb's other obsession is power points and drawers. He knows he's not supposed to touch either, but I'm forever taking him away. Any ideas how to get him past this stage?
Anyway, it's potty time. Wouldn't want to have an accident in our nappy. Oh I almost forgot. I bought one of those toilet training kits with the seat and the steps that fit onto your toilet. I figure that he'll feel more like a "big boy" if he's using the toilet instead of the potty. I've seen them in baby stores and they were quite pricey. I managed to get this one from Big W for $39, so I'm happy.

Starfish congrats on finishing all your assignments :clap:I'm sure you'll pass with flying colours! Did you ever find the woman who you did the assignment for- the one that disappeared after all your hard work??
Celsie it must be amazing to hear the heartbeat whenever you want!! Glad to hear Caleb is all better now. We have thought about getting a potty for Mikayla cause I think she's definitely ready but she's going to be a flower girl in December and I'd hate for her to have an accident on the day while walking down the aisle LOL
What makes me think she's ready???? Well...... DH and I left her in the loungeroom watching Nick Jr one morning while we had a bit of a clean up. We thought it was strange that she was being so quiet so DH went to check on her. The next thing I hear is DH saying that there was sh%t all over the place. Not knowing what he was talking about I walk in to find little miss with her pj pants around her ankles and poo all over her hands!!!!! She obviously didnt like the feeling of it in her nappy so she decided to get rid of it LOL Funny now but not at all funny then!!!!
Sorry guys but this one is a little bit of a brag note from me :P My little munchkin has surprised us by already learning how to spell her name. Daddy has a little ritual he does with her in the morning. He gets her up, changes her nappy and gets her morning bottle ready and on the way he stops at the name plaque on her door and spells out her name as she points to the letters. She's now starting to repeat each letter to him and when you ask her what her name is she says "M"!!! I'm so proud of her but at the same time sad that she's growing up way too fast!!!
Well enough from me! Better get to bed - another long day tmrw (and its meant to be 36 degrees here!!!!!!!!)
Take care xx

celsie - we have one of those toilet seats and it's been fantastic for giving DD#1 her independance faster as well as DD#2 now wants to sit on it alot. I do have to pounce on her though when she heads to the toilet with a toy in her hand, lol! She loves 'visiting' her big sister when she is on the toilet too.....I think she may train sooner just because her big sister is showing her the way
starfish - wooooohooooo on finishing those assignments!! :cheer: You're amazing! I was hopeless at assignments when in high school yet for you to be doing such fabulous things now!! Well done!!! :goodluck: on the job hunt!! Really hoping it comes to you as fast as you want it!
teepee - ooooohhhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyyy gooooooodness!! Yes, poo episode funny now! :hug: :D Oh my! How did you go??? DD#1 had an incident the other day - she's a rabbit and waits til she's busting sometimes before stopping her play to go relieve herself and so the consequence was poo in knickers :o and I've no idea why but my brain was treating it different to if it was a poo in a nappy..... I dry reached the whole time :rofl: DD kept asking, "Are you cross mummy?" to which I laughed and reassured her I wasn't' but could she not wait so long next time?!?!?! :lol: Oh and how clever is your little one?? Isn't it amazing when they do new things? Happy sad like you said because it also shows that they are growing up!
We had friends over yesterday with their 8wk old little bubby.....who now weighs what DD#1 weighed when she was born!!! Yeouwchy mama!! :D And DD#2 looked so so big next to this little bubby! Made me realise how fast she is growing up. She also wanted to pick the baby up all the time - and if you'd seen how she treats her toy dolls, well, you can understand my apprehension everytime she went near the 'real' dolly......ahahahahahaha!!
Oh and just for the record, didn't have a tear when I dropped DD#1 off to pre-entry kindy this morning....I just took DH & DD#2 with me...... he he he he he he
MWA!!
-
hehehehe, funny moment........
DD#1 can be a bit of a drama queen (at the tender age of almost 4 :rolleyes:) and so when she's upset, mostly if she's gotten into trouble, she'll cry and then so forlornly say, "Oh dear oh dear" through her tears.....
........well had to delay DD#2's breakfast as she had done a nice little morning surprise in her nappy for me and it upset her greatly that I was taking her away from her food. Well while on the change table crying and complaining, guess what she said?!?!?
"Oh dear" :rofl:
-
Awww Charly thats just gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!! Doesnt it just make your heart melt when they say precious things like that!

Hi girls!
Wow charly the words for DD are coming out strong huh!

Well she gets her iggle piggle doll tomorrow from her yiayia... i know she is going to be mega excited - she saw them int he store and went crazy on thursday lol
Otherwise... she is now offically part monkey.. i find her standing on the toilet trying to flush it, YEsterday i lookedin the backyard and she was standing on top of the picnic table!!!!!! one day i will find her on the roof!
https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...hp?photo=10316
But they are growing up so fast arent they!!!
Are you all toliet training already?
DD knows the toliet and flushes it but wont tell me when she has pooed or needs to. She does cry and run off when she has done one and doesnt want me to change her....
