Nah Sarah i am skip! lol
DH is greek. He asked if Ds spends lots of time with his YiaYia?? I think that would make a huge difference to raising a biligual child! :) We dont use too may words... (all which i suck at saying anyhow lol).
Thats super cool though! I tell Dh that Ashleys first word will be jourjour! as he always sings when changing her nappy - 'goulaw and jourjour' clean your 'goulaw and jourjour' - .... mmmmm ask DH what they mean (sorry i have spelt them phonetically) and then you will realise we will have a confused child!! lol
I say 'ella' a lot to get her to follow me "come here" so maybe she will say that! :).... sometimes i think people will think her name is actually Ella not ashley lol!
Ha I liked the name Ella for a girl but it would have been Ella Ella when I wanted her to come here!!:cryinglaugh:
then you would sing .. "under my umbrella! Ella ella! lol!"
Oh love the bilingualness!! :D My SIL is Spanish so her kids do understand a lot but don't speak it as much, however my brother has become almost a pro at it! (not bad for a tru blu ozzie, hehe)
PinkPalace - I did see a thread awhile ago about child modelling and a site recommended was "TinLids"...... I checked it out and it looks quite good. Although not doing anything with it at this stage myself, just perusing the possibilities, lol.
Starfishyes, because I am an overly cautious scaredy cat..... :redface: ....... :cryinglaugh::
Charly and Celsie - yay at your meeting I have been reading your posts re trying to spot each other... Is there any reason why you hadn't arranged to meet IRL before this??
See now that's not true Charly! It was very brave of you to speak up. That was a very brave thing to do. You could have kept quiet and I would have been none the wiser. :hug::
Was it Miss Banana who was asking about toilet training? We did pretty much the same as Starfish, although we started at about 3 months. It's called Elimination Communication. It's easier to do with a baby under 6 months, but it is possible to do with other children too. Google it or have a look on the Natural Parenting Australia website, I'm sure there will be articles on there about it.

Well DD#2 did the funniest thing today, well funny to me, hehe. She grabbed two duplo lego blocks and joined them together all by herself!! :clap: The funny bit was how she threw her hands in the air holding the joined blocks and yelled like she was cheering for herself!! :cryinglaugh: Then she pulled them apart and did the same thing! It was hilarious!! Then she started to cheat......she would only hold the two blocks in one hand and not join them together but still put her hands in the air and barrack for herself!! Ah ahahahahahaha! Oh too funny!
Well hope all you newly pg chickadees are enjoying your new pg journey........not throwing too much love towards the loo I hope! ;) Got the official word today from a friend who had to turn to IVF for her 3rd bubby, long story.........but she is almost through her first trimester!!! :dance: So excited for her!!
Anyways, bbl lovelies!
Mwa!!
Charly - i am getting there in the sewing/knitting department. I am self taught so has been a lonnnnnnng process lol.:)
Yay for the duplo blocks! they do get so proud of themselves dont they -its adorable!.
Self taught! Wow you have patience! :D and yes, DD#2 can be so modest sometimes......not! ;) Lol!
Laura133 - just saw your other thread re: your little one, I hope he returns to 100% soon. Thinking of you love :hug:
Hello
Just checking in to say hello before our thread disappears off the face of the earth!:p
Hope everyone is well and all those UTD 'Mum to be's' are feeling good.
We are fine, Lewis is having a no sleep day today :doh: Oh the joys! He has a rash on is back and tummy and behind his ears, lots of little red dots. Anyone have an idea what it could be? I'm wondering if it is just a heat thing, I know it's not hot but thought maybe we have too many layers on him as it is warming up a bit. There's nothing on his arms and legs.
Apart from that just looking forward to spring in 3 days time YAY!
My girls do get the odd heat rash either on tummy/back even on the back of the neck but nothing what it sounds like Lewis has :think: Does he have a temp or is irritable or anything like that? Or is it just the rash? Its the behind the ear bit that stumps me! I wonder if its tied into him not sleeping? Could it be worth a visit to the GP? Hope it clears up soon! :hug:
And yes, yay on spring!! :cheer:
DD#1 came out with a doozy yesterday :redface: she asked me about the 'fluff' under my elbow........but she was pointing under her own arms. So I asked if she meant under my arms and she said yes, can i show her the fluff under my arms?!?! I tried so hard not to laugh and said that its hair and mummy doesn't have any coz mummy shaves, like daddy shaves his face. She asked if when it comes back if I could show her! :lol: Ah kiddies, too funny :heartbeat:
ROFL - Charly!!! I think that is just adorable! Fluff!!! :rofl:
Sarah - Caeleb sometimes get's little red dots on his back and front from heat, but never around his ears. I agree with Charly, a trip to the GP is in order. Might be an allergy?!? Oh and I had a look at your photos in the Gallery. Lewis is just gorgeous! You should be really proud. He's a credit to you both.
I'm really sick of morning sickness. I only ever vomit the tiniest little bit and then feel nauseous all day long. I'm taking Maxalon. I've still got a large box left from when I was pregnant with Caeleb. I don't have the box itself, so I'm unsure of the dosage. Is it a maximum of 3 a day? Would love to know if anyone else has any.
hi Celsie!
I had nausea up to about week 12-14 this time around and really bad ! but no vomitting. Yes you cant take the maxolon less than 8 hrs apart! It makes me fall asleep! lol found this out the hard way at work hehe.
Ashley is getting her canines through so she is a ball of drool and snot! eeewwwwww!
she already has 12 teeth... and the next 4 look like they are coming!!!! mmmm
Hey PP, Lewis is also getting his canines, number 13 popped through yesterday on the bottom. I can't wait, it will look like he has all his teeth when they arrive!
His rash has gone now so am going to keep an eye on things and take him to the GP if it comes back. He does still itch his ears though so have been putting calamine on.
We held our big annual fundraising dinner last night (I work for a homeless youth charity) and I bought a photographic session plus big photo in the auction worth $800. I got it for $120 so very excited. Am going to get photos done of Lewis as a surprise for DH for Xmas. Eric Bana was at the dinner, he's a hottie in theflesh! So a good night all round!
Hi everyone!
Sarah sounds like you had a great time last night. Did you get to have a chat to Eric Bana??
Mikayla still doesnt have her molars or canines yet :( I know it wont be fun when they're coming through but I cant wait till she'll be able to chew better. Sounds like Ashley & Lewis have a full mouth of teeth :D You lucky ladies will have no more teething until they're 2!!!! We were watching some videos of her when she was 5 months old and just starting to crawl - OMG I cant believe how small she was, it seems like a lifetime ago doesnt it?
Celsie how's the m/s going?? Maxalon never worked for me with Mikayla, nothing seemed to! But this time it doesnt seem that I need anything (God I hope thats not a bad sign! :pray:) Good luck with your scan tomorrow hun. I'll be thinking of you as I have mine!!!
Its been pretty quiet in here lately. Hope everyone is doing ok. Take care xx
Hi everyone.
Just wanted to let my bestest ladies (& man!) know that I had my scan today and I'm soooo relieved that everything went ok!!! Bubs measures 7weeks3days so my EDD hasnt changed and we could see its little heart beating which was so reassuring. Heartbeat was 145bpm. Do you guys remember when we used to talk about heart rates giving an indication of gender - did this prove to be true for anyone???? I'll have to look back at what Mikayla's was, I cant remember.
Here is bub#2's first photo... http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...as999/bub2.jpg
Mikayla has a runny nose today and was coughing alot in her sleep last night - I hope she doesnt get too sick. I hate it when she's not feeling well because my happy little monkey goes all quiet and sulky - yes I know the quiet part is good, just wish she didnt have to get sick to achieve that!!! :D
Celsie where are you?????? How did you go today hun?? Hope to hear from you very soon :hug:
Sarah & Zofia have you had any contact from Lexismum at all? I havent seen her around since we met up. I hope everything is ok!
I'm here Tina!!! I'm just too sick and too tired to jump online and post.
We went and had the scan. Everything seemed fine. Measuring at 6 weeks 6 days (I thought I was 7 weeks), so I'll leave my EDD as it is. Heartbeat was clearly visible, 146 BPM. I was either not told or didn't keep a record of what Caeleb's heart rate at this stage, but anything over 140 is supposed to be a girl. Although this theory was disproven about 30 years ago. At the 12 week scan, Caeleb's was 156 BPM and he's a boy!!!
DH is home this week, doing jobs around the house that he wouldn't get time to do normally. We went to Mitre 10. A really smokey car was in front of us... and that was it. I got DH to pull over and I was sick, outside Mitre 10, infront of all those men buying nails and wood! But... I don't care! I'm so sick and tired if anyone had said anything I would have ripped their heads off.
Caeleb has just about pushed me over the edge as far as my patience goes tonight, so I'm going to go run a bath and relax.
p.s. Tina - that's a lovely clear shot of your beautiful little baby. Our photo isn't so clear, but I'll scan it at some stage and put it up for people to look at anyway. :) What do you think of our new belly buddies? I can't say I like them too much. Too many for a start and they're just all over the place. I think I'll just lurk around here and share my journey with these wonderful girls in here that I've grown to know and love. :grouphug:
Cels I'm glad to hear your scan went well today but sorry to hear you were so sick. I've been sick twice today too. I know I was worried about not being sick but now that I am I remember just how much I hated it last time :D ikwym about the bellybuddies group. I just dont feel like I fit in with them. I havent been in there much at all.
I dont think anyone will compare to the beautiful friends we have here. I'm sure they wont mind us sharing with them this time too :D
To all the June/July mummies... You are all so very special and unreplaceable!!!!!! :hug:
Hey Tina,
Love the photo, it's definitely another girl!!:)
Hey, I just thought, if you had a c/s last time will you have to have one again or can you try for a VBAC? If not won't they do it a week before your due date?
Charly, hands on hips, lines Teepee2 & Celsie up and says in a mummy tone,
"You darn well better share your journey with us!"then lunges at them with a huge cuddle :hug: :cryinglaugh:
I have my :cheer:, giggles and :hug: at the ready for all those fun times, tiring times, spesh times and :redface: times.........like when you pass wind due to pg belly weight...............or was that just me :think:.............. :rofl: Oh dear, I am very tired me thinks, lol.
DD#1 is almost better from her coldy flu type thing, just a rattly cough that seems to be easing. DH & I are all over the girls when they are sick and so I felt so horrible when I took DD#1 to the drs the other day and the gp said after looking in DD's ear that she was at the end of an ear infection! Wt?!?! DD never complained, tugged/touched or indicated that she had a sore ear. The only thing that I can now think of was the 2 or 3 times she mentioned she had a headache so I rugged her up on the lounge and made sure she drank like a fish. Oh the poor little mooch! But like I said, she's coming good but took DD#2's temp tonight and its 38.1 :wall: me thinks, yet again, that I am in for a loooooong night - another one, aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh blrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp! she says as she reaches for a choccy brownie, hehe.
So off to the drs again we go tomorrow - should name a seat after me, lol!
Sorry to hear that you girls are feeling sick and being sick Celsie & Teepee2. Oh its the horrible bit isn't it! More hugs to you both! xoxoxoxo
Hope everyone else is doing good, especially those other mummies growing new little cherubs!
Mwa!!
Can I just check on something? Lewis sleeps from 7pm - 5am, sometimes 5.30am if we are lucky. IS THIS NORMAL??
Shouldn't he be sleeping til about 7am by now? Is he the only one that doesn't understand that mornings are for sleeping, not the Wiggles? :wall:
Do you think it's worth me putting him to bed later? Because on the odd occasion that I do put him in later he still seems to wake up at the same time. (BTW he has another sleep 8am-9am and then 1pm-3pm)
Oh yes and one more thing, I found myself in the chemist today buying folate. Just thinking ahead.....! All this pregnancy talk got me excited!
hello ladies
mmum of lewis- DS sleeps exactly the same hours. 7-5am... we tried putting him down later but he quickly became over tired and still woke at 5 anyway. gone are the days of staying up late and watching tv till 12pm. 930 and im reay to sleep.DW and i take it in turns to get up in morning at 5 so we each get an extra hour of sleep until nate runs down and yells at bed.
this morning it was my turn and nate was a bit cuddly(love that) so we sat on couch watching the maisy dvd (5000th time) and we were both woken up by mummy making us a drink at 7am. bliss.
not much else to report. still looking for a new job and even thinking of going into daycare with another girl i used to work with. any thoughts? we would be looking at using my house as home care so less travel time for me and nate and i also get work from home.....
ciao
dragonstorm
Dragonstorm - that would be so great the daycare thing! More dads should be encouraged to do so! Not to mention the convenience of it all! :clap: And awwww at your cuddly sleepy moment with Nate, that's just so precious!
MumofLewis - when Lewis wakes does he cry or just natter away happily? The reason I ask is only if he seems quite happy, is maybe you could let him natter for maybe 15minutes before getting him up? Or just let him natter and just see what he does (so no time frame on it) Or alternatively, go in and give him a cuddle, say its not quite time to get up yet and tuck him back in. (btw this one is touch and go with my DD#2 as once she sees me, I'm sure she thinks WT?? when I try and put her back to bed - so chucks a wobbly ;) so up she gets, lol!) DD#2 wakes up and mostly chats away and has actually gone back to sleep for another 20mins or so every now and then. Other times after her friendly conversation with herself, she gets bored and starts with the frustrated "I'm not happy with this arrangement" protests, lol! The other morning she laid there doing her cookie monster laugh while clapping! DD#2 then has a nap around 9.30/10 til 11/11.30 and then another from approx 2 - 3.30pm, then bed at 7pm-ish.
This may not work for Lewis but its just a thought but hth a little? :hug: You could just have an early riser ready to get into the day, not wanting to waste one bit! :D He'll get there eventually love.........just think, when our kidlets hit teenagers :o they will never want to get out of bed! :cryinglaugh:
When he wakes up he never cries, bless him, he chats away to himself and reads his book. But then when he gets bored of that he kind of starts shouting! Which means Mum where are you, so that's when I go in! Look if he's not the only one that does it then that's fine, as long as others are suffering too I'm happy :ROFL:
Dragonstorm, how cute watching Maisy together. Lewis is the least cuddly baby on the planet and will only sit on my knee if I pick him up when he is engrossed in the TV and doesn't realise I'm doing it!
not wanting to p*** on your fire here, but thought I would give you my opinion on the daycare thing. As sad as it sounds I wouldn't be able to put my kids in daycare with a man that I didn't know :( I just would have trust issues with what he may do with no witnesses around. I don't mean all men are dodgy obviously but you just never know who is until they have built up a reputation or you have a personal recommendation. People may feel differently because you have a child yourself and when they meet you would realise you are trustworthy but you may find it harder to attract people in the first place. Just my opinion, maybe not everybodys?
:excited: :excited: :excited::
Charly - you'll get every detail you may and may not want about my pregnancy for sure! Like for instance, yesterday I noticed that the "tummy hair" has started to make a return. I wasn't overly hairy with Caeleb, but I could notice it. My boobs have started to get bigger again too, much to Caeleb and DH's excitement. We had a family bath yesterday and Caeleb delighted in pushing on the ends of my nipples. Don't ask me why he likes doing that, he just does... :rolleyes:
I've felt quite good today. Hardly nauseous at all. Very tired still though.
Our feral next door neighbours have decided to buy a stupid little yappy dog which barks and barks and barks. I've spent the whole day writing down the times it's barked (over 50 times in all - and it's still going) and I'm taking it to council first thing in the morning. They'd better do something, or I WILL!!! It's woken Caeleb EVERY TIME I put him down for a nap!!! The most annoying thing is that they don't even tell it to shut up. They just ignore it. Fine... take it inside and ignore it!!! :angry:
hi everyone again!!!
god i cant keep up with all these threads lol im so slow!!!
just popping my head in before i head off to bed!
Hi girls sorry for the selfish post but i need to vent!
I am sooo upset right now.
I might put a post up to get peoples opinions in the main forum but here we go for my june mumma's!
DD has been back in day care 1 day a week - this is week 3
Week 1 - they said she cried the first 2 hours straight and had to be rocked in a pram until lunch time, only slept out of pure exhaustion @ 1pm for 1 hr.
Week 2 - as soon as i left they said she cried and wouldnt stay outside(she loves palying outdoors) and still only slept after 1 hour of rocking for 1.5hrs in the afternoon. When i went to pick her up she was crying non-stop (before she saw i was there).
Week 3 (TODAY) - i said good bye and she starting crying again. I hung around to talk to admin (as i decided that perhaps she isnt ready for care and gave 2 weeks notice to pull her out) - this took me 1/2 hr... i walked back to get my pram and could hear her from inside (she was outside).. screaming in tears ma ma ma ma.
I burst into tear and left before they saw me cause i am so embarressed i am not handling it like every other mum seems to,
What the hell am i doing? Am i paying someone $60 a day so that i can make my daughter cry non -stop and think that i dont love her? She isnt enjoying it from what i can tell (i mean sure she probably has moment of new discoveries and fun) but its so hard to watch her cry.
Especially when i am at home and could have her here with me.
I put her in cause i thought it was the right thing to do to get her socialised with children her own age but she cries when one comes near her and has started hitting my friends children (and she had to learn this somewhere).
I am only letting her have a half day today as she is comoing down with a cold and i need her to have a decent sleep - so i am getting her in about 3 hrs.
I just feel so bad.
Sorry for the vent :(
Oooh PP, you poor thing. And poor Ashley :( What do the staff think because I know alot of kids take a while to get used to being in daycare, do they think it is normal behaviour or is she particularly stressed compared with others?
Do you take her to playgroup? If so what is she like when she is there, does she go off on her own? I think it must be so scary for them at first, I am DREADING putting Lewis in, but most kids do seem to get used to it after a few sessions.
Another thing is that most day cares don't recommend one day a week as it's like they never get used to it and have to start all over again each week. Maybe that is why she cries still? Could she do a couple of half days frst and then progress to full days?
Other than that, maybe she's just not ready yet? Or maybe you have to be cruel to be kind and persevere. I know of so many mothers who's kids cried at first and now love going. It's a tough one. I would def post in the main forum I bet theres loads of people can offer you advice.
Oh PinkPalace! :hug: I have no experience so don't feel like I have anything wise to say. Maybe she's just not ready? Maybe, like MumofLewis said, she may need more than one day so half days might be easier and not such a hard slog iykwim?? I know that this is slightly different (as the ages are different) but my mum pulled my brother out of kindy as he just wasn't coping, he still needed his mum. The rest of us kids loved kindy! But mum waited and then when she took him back after some time he was like a fish to water. I don't know if that helps at all apart from, if its stressing you out, is it worth it?? For someone so little, imo, playgroup times etc are fine for the socialisation. I just hope you don't feel pressured and think that you have to put her in daycare iykwim?? You know your daughter best so just make sure that what you are doing is because you want to, not what you think you should :hug: thinking of you sweety :hug:
Celsie - :rofl: on the nipples!!!!!!! Ah hahahahaha! Maybe he just thinks, oh buttons! DD#2 does this with belly buttons, lol! Oh you cracked me up! And yay on being kept informed!! Mwa!! xx Ah yes, the belly hair... What is with that?!?!?! I find some pg things just plain weird! :D
Well just quickly, before I take drinks out to my little gardeners, DH & DD#1, hehe......
.....phone rings at 8am today to inform DH & I that our friend had her little girl in the wee hours of the night :cheer:..........................ON HER LOUNGE ROOM FLOOR!!! :o Her DH & MIL are now Dr. DH & MIL!! She was out at the car about to leave and her MIL checked and ordered her back inside as there was a head!!!!!!!! Eeek!! Thankfully, mummy and bubby are doing completely fine but OMG!!!! Crazzzzzzzzzzzzyyyyyy!!!!
And on that note, :D bbl sweeties!!
Mwa!!
PP - Huge hugs honey. :hug: I think you did the right thing! Children at this age really do need Mum and Dad and will thrive in that environment. Children don't learn from peers until the age of 3, so there is no real need for her to be "socialised" as such from a learning point of view. I do however agree with playgroups and babygym. Little ones can learn and explore under the watchful eye of Mum or Dad and know that if they need you, you're right there. I personally believe (this is just my belief) that children who are allowed to take steps towards independence at their own rate are more settled and more self confident.
I was taking Caeleb to the creche at the local gym and he HATED it. I'd take him, sneak out and within 2 - 3 minutes, he'd be crying. I said every time I went in there that if he cries for more than 5 minutes, come and get me. They never came and got me even once, and he was crying every time I went and picked him up 45 minutes later. They broke my trust and for that I will never forgive him. I've never taken him back since. Caeleb was extremely clingy and fretted a lot in the following weeks. I'd say it's taken me a good month or two of going to playgroup, story time at the library and having playdates with friends, letting him play with the kids there, for him to let go and go off on his own again.
So, child care/creche isn't for Caeleb yet. He's just not ready. I want Caeleb to know I'll always be there for him, no matter what. My heart goes out to mothers who have no choice but to place their children in care and the child reacts like Ashley is. I'm not saying that childcare isn't right for ALL children this age, just in some cases, they're just not ready.
I used to be a child care worker. We had a little boy called Blake, about the same age as our little ones are now. He'd cry and cry and cry all day. It would break my heart. He formed a bond with me and would be comforted by a cuddle, but the problem was, I only worked part time, so I dread to think what it was like for him when I wasn't there. It took him a good 6 months for him to stop crying for hours when his Mum dropped him off... and he was in 5 days a week! :(
I think it depends on the child too, some are ready much sooner than others and they do develop speech etc so much quicker when they attend daycare. I will definitely want to send Lewis with in the next 6-12 months as I think he will benefit from it, he loves being around other kids. I will just dread the first day that I have to leave him :(
There are twin boys at our play group who are 1 month older than Lewis. They are so different, one of them just goes off on his own and doesn't look for his Mum the entire time. The other one screams if his Mum as much as goes to the toilet! He is inconsolable and he doesn't even find comfort in his twin being there :( His Mum is due to have a baby next week so she is wondering how he will cope with a new baby around.
Anyway on a different note, I have finally decided that I would like to work in Children's nutrition. :dance: I have been thinking of what I can do for a career change for ages now, I wanted to work with kids but not in daycare. So anyway I have been doing some research and am going to take a certificate in Childrens Nutrition. Plus a few one day courses. I will probably start off working in a daycare kitchen and then my aim is to do nutrition counselling. I'm SO EXCITED!! I have been really unhappy in my job for a while so I have a new spring in my step!
