Babies Born June 2007 #6

Quick hi - yeah right!! LOL!! Whilst DH is bathing DD#1 and DD#2 is in bed, supposedly sleeping but those squeals coming from her room do not indicate sleep at all!! I thought I'd take the minutes I have to jump on, power read and then type my little fingers off!! LOL!!

Starfish - no, not actively TTC as my head space is that 2 are quite enough atm!! Of course, if we were pg then we'd just accept and embrace but I must admit, the cramps were a welcomed thing Spoke to my brother last night and he is getting the snip this year (they have 2). I told DH and he suggested he did the same to which I replied, no way buddy!! LOL!! Not until I'm sure.......so he goes on this tongue in cheek spiel about how I'm assuming I have the power to decide whether we have babies or not to which I laughed and retorted, "hang on a tick!! If you get the snip, you've made it final but me telling you your not just yet is actually sitting on the fence but keeping the door open!" (We laughed as we knew I won that round!! At this stage, if we were to have any more, I think DD#2 will be at least 4 and COMPLETELY toilet trained......learning my lesson the hard way as DD#1 is dragging her feet on that one!!

Oh too cute!! DD#1 has just bolted from her bedroom saying, "Look mum!! I'm neck-ed (naked)!!" Hehehe!!

MumofLewis - that's so great that DH was able to stay with your little one, a real weight off your mind! That's so fantastic!!! And so cute on the curling ribbon incident.......seeing the world through a little one's eyes is a real revelation some times! Also so good that he cut his teeth without too much bother, that must be a relief. Could that be the reason for waking up an hour earlier too?

Teepee2 - I know what you mean about savouring our bubs when they are babies!! Wow!! Your munchkin is flying!! That's full on! She sounds like a real cute cheeky fire cracker!! Oh too precious!!

Princessmya - not sure about how long after stopping bf that AF turns up as DD was exclusively bf and AF came back from long service leave at 4 months! What a clever little one to be nattering away already.....have you got it on video???? DD has only said, "Dad" a couple of times but will babble to her hearts content! Although today I took some hilarious video of both DD's squealing at each other - they were taking it in turns!!!!! And matching each other's volume!!! LOL!!

Ah woooooooooo hoooooooooo!!! DD#1 just did her first dribble wee in the potty!!! Ok! Going to go and celebrate with her stickers and ringing nanna!!

BBL!
Mwa!!

Hi,

Teepee - Wow Mikayla is on the move! Have you moved her mattress down yet? I'm dreading that, my back already hurts hauling him out of the cot every morning! I wanted to ask you seeing as she was a quick crawler, once they can get their bum in the air and start rocking on their hands and knees, how long is it until they crawl? Days, weeks, months? Just wondering how long I've got...

Charly - Wow we think we have it bad and then you are potty training too! Now imagine all that and having morning sickness to deal with??
BTW I spoke too soon about Lewis being okay with his new teeth. Poor thing has been in tears today, and just desperate to bite on anything in reach, he even burst one of his teethers bless him.

Princess mya - I think AF is supposed to return about 8-10 weeks after stopping BF. I only expressed, but mine returned about 8 weeks after I stopped. Longer, heavier and more painful I might add

Starfish - How did you job interview go by the way? It's a scary prospect isn't it returnng to work. Great that your DH can also have Diana.


Not sure if I mentioned but I do mobile spray tanning in the evenings, and I just got the job spray tanning the Gladiators for the new show on Channel 7! Made a nice change to spray some muscles!! I don't normally do men but how could I refuse those lot Mind you it was more work than usual because they all wanted to be sooo brown. Plus of course all the extra muscles I had to spray over!

[Charlyfrog]

OMG!! What a gig MumofLewis!!! Congratulations!! That's fantastic!!

And yes, morning sickness on top of all of that.............I'd need the potty as much as DD#1 in the end!!

Thinking of your little man, poor love! Hugs to him!!

Hi everyone

I am feeling rather proud of myself this week, as I am actually managing to get some housework done. I had been really slack ever since Diana was born (even before that actually) and only doing the bare minimum, so this week I finally decided that enough was enough and that the apartment needed a really good clean and tidy. So I am taking it slowly and doing one area at a time. The best thing is that Diana is now old enough that I can put her in the sling and do the work while I carry her. Its exhausting (which is why I am limiting myself to one big job/area a day), but kind of fun and rewarding. I like telling Diana what I'm doing as I do it. (Now what's the bet that now that I've written about it, I'm going to lose my motivation and not get anything done tomorrow?)

Tina - wow, you must have your hands full with Mikayla being so active. Diana is not quite standing or crawling yet, but she is certainly trying. Today she fell off the couch as she rolled/crawled to the edge while DH and I had our backs turned. DH is still angry at himself for letting it happen, but I am actually grateful that it wasn't anything more serious. Going to have to keep a way closer eye on her now.

Sarah - my job interview went well, but unfortunately the position was filled internally. I have another interview on Monday for a much better sounding job though, so maybe it was meant to be that I didn't get the other one. Fingers crossed I get the job I'm being interview for this Monday (and that if I do I can work the hours I want, etc) .

Princessmya - not sure when AF is supposed to return, but I think it varies wildly depending on the individual (I know that's not very helpful). Yay for Ashley getting her two front teeth for Christmas! And how cute that she's talking. Diana has said "mummy", "dad", "hello","hi" and "baby", but no association either, she just makes the sounds at this stage. How cool will it be when they do make the association? Looking forward to that.

[teepee2]

OMG Jane how great to hear from you. I saw someone on here the other day with a similar name to yours and I was wondering how you were going. Congrats on getting married!!! It sounds like you had a great day. Wishing you all the very best with your TTC journey and cant wait to hear some more good news from you soon. Take care hun. We mish you!!!!!!! xx

Well Mikayla's christening went really well today. She was such a good girl amd looked beautiful in her gown - I'll try to post some pics tomorrow. She was great through the whole service - h figgity self but hardly made a sound. She was content sitting on my lap sucking on my necklace and didnt even flinch whent the priest poured the water over her head. All in all it was a great day but we're so relieved its over. Now its time to relax!!

Sarah how did Lewis go being dunked in water?? I know orthodox christenings are quite long. I hope he didnt get too restless - I know there's no way Mikayla would last that long! Hope you had a great day xx

Well its off to give Mikayla a bottle then bed for us all - its been a long day.

Take care xx

Hi janeo! Great to hear from you, I hoped you'd pop in one day and let us know how you are. Make sure you keep us up to date on your news.

The christening went well. Lewis was okay during theservice. It is about 45 minutes and I'm not allowed to hold him until it's all over He did cry when he went into the font, the priest wasn't that gentle with the washing of his head! And he wee'd on my SIL when they were undressing him! But he was fine afterwards and the rest of the day. But like you Tina I am sooo glad it's all over!!

I will put a few photos up later today.

[teepee2]

Just posted a couple of photos of Mikayla in her gown in my gallery if anyones interested. Not the best quality but will try to update them later on in the week.

[MumofLewis]

Oh my God, what a princess! You must have been so proud.

I've just put a couple of photo's of Lewis's christening in his babiesonline photo gallery:
