OMG, Will has turned into Captain Clingy again! I am back to having to take him to the loo with me just so he won't cut loose. It is like he is 3 months old all over again. But now he says 'mum' so I get a high pitched scream followed by a string of 'mum mum mum' when ever I leave the room. I am really starting to get a bit strung out!
Still not crawling but he can move around the room. He does an awesome push up and has gotten on his knees a few times but that is about it. He sits up on his own but after a bit he will just lean back and keep on going so we still put a pillow behind him. He cut his 7th tooth the other day and is now 75 cm and 10 kg. He is starting to wear size 1 clothing which is freaking me out. He was never been a small baby but it seems like he just grows non stop. He is well proportioned but sometimes looks really skinny. He has a bit of pudge on his legs but that is about it. One mother asked me at playgroup if I feed him (can you believe). I told her he had been on 3 meals a day since he was 5 months plus 4 formula feeds. I don't have a son I have food disposal system .
I guess they all get there in the end. As for me I am now on my mushies and have lost 12 kg so I am very happy. In another 2 weeks I am back on normal food which is great. I would kill for a steak right now.
Any way I am off, I will do personals another time when I don't feel like crap. Hope your all well.
As for Christmas we do the family thing. Off to Perth this year to see the in laws.
Christmas was a big thing in our house as a kid and probably will be for Will. One year as a kid my dad shaved the ice from the freezer and put it at the bottom of the ladder to the roof (so Santa could get down). He then woke me up and told me it was snow from the North Pole. Another year we bought hay for the reindeer and my parents walked round poking holes in the dirt so I thought they had been in our yard. I was about 10 when I worked out it was a scam but kept it going till I was 15 (not that my folks believed that I believed) so I would get the extra pressie, lol. Even now my mum still gives me something small that she calls my Santa present, just for the joke.
Don't get me started on what my parents would do at Easter (lets just say we didn't see the cat for 3 days once).
Macca! I can't believe Will has 7 teeth! WOW! I keep having these dreams that Flynn has a full set of chompers but he still only has the bottom 2. Congrats on the weight loss! That is awesome, good for you!
As for us, Flynn has started 'crawling'. It is a very funny action where by he propels himself with one foot and slides along on one knee. He alternates which knee is on the ground and which foot is pushing him! It is quite funny to watch, he looks a bit like a crab! He is getting more and more fun every day. I just love being a mum!
Some exciting and scary news for us is that I'm expecting another baby ! I'm a bit worried that we're going to lose it (I don't particularly 'feel pg and have had a mc before...) so I haven't really told anyone (unless they happen to read it on this public forum!!). Bub is due in July so I won't be heavily pg in summer which is great. I'm nervous and excited and several other emotions all at once!
I've got to go now. Hope you are all going great, take care.
Just a quick one to say CONGRATULATIONS to CM!! Woo hoo!!!!
I was beginning to wonder who would be the first of us to get back on the pg bandwagon. Stay positive that your little bubba will stick - we'll all help by throwing you some (I'm throwing girl sticky vibes - betta let us know if that's a prob for you!!!! ). Huge congrats again.
And Macca - well done on the weight loss, you're doing great. Wow, seven teeth ... Cam still isn't showing any signs of teeth yet!
i have been missing a while form here i know and will write a proper catch up tomorrow while DD is at daycare but i just wanted to say....
Catherine, wwwwhhhhoooo congratulations how exciting for you and DH and Flynn, so how many weeks are you now ? like Andie im sending you lots of sticky baby dust too
and Andie i knew it wouldnt be me announcing more baby news, we are all done here lol
Congratulations CM. That is fantastic news for you. My first pregnancy resulted in a miscarriage and I then went on to have four babies with no problems so im sure this little one will be just fine. Im sure you are so busy concentrating on your little man that you are not focused on the changes in your body.
I too was wondering who would be back on the bandwagon first. I have had a bit of a scare and had a negative blood result today so I can gladly say its not me. We do want another but just not yet, my cycle is all over the show so lets hope we can have another when we are ready.
Scout is continuing to thrive at a wicked pace. Still just the two bottom teeth and he is 77cms and just cracked the 9 kilo mark. So I hear ya bout the "skinny" looking baby Macca. I think he is loosing weight as he is soooo full on. He is madly pulling up (and crashing down) on everything. We have at least half a dozen bumped heads a day and it doesnt stop him. He is loving his swimming lessons. Im so glad I started them after watching that sad story on 60 minutes the other night. Having a pool is great but I dont want it to be a scary thing IYKWIM
We had DS10 party on Saturday night. Lets just say 4am DH finally had enough and turned into cranky Dad to get them to go to sleep. We went in with water guns at 8.30 to wake them all up. They were not impressed and by the time they were picked up at 11am I dont think bed was too far away for most of them. I said to the Mums when they dropped the boys off that I make no apologies for the moods which if my boy was any thing to go by, would have been pretty feral. I wont be doing it again thats for sure! Sorry Scout.
Well thats about all in our camp my little treasure has had his 40 min power nap so I best go get him
YAY Catherine!!! Good for you! I have to ask...please tell me to bugger off....was it planned? I was only thinking the other day that when Ben was Jake's age I was 5 months pregnant already!
You've given me incentive to get in and post so I'll do my best to get back. It's our anniversary today, not doing anything special but things have been a-ok here for a while and things are picking up.... so you never know I might be other-wise engaged :P
