:happyforyou: Happy birthday Cohen!!!
Will BBL ;)
Wow I have been MIA havent I?
I was just sitting here thinking this time last year i was having pains and excitedly waiting for my baby. Now as I look at him pulling himself on to the couch and chasing his brothers around (with two massive bruises on his forehead I might add) I cant believe a whole year has nearly passed.:cry:
Master Scout is the "he who shall be obeyed" in our house. It is quite shocking what I let him get away with, :redface: when I think of my other boys I never would have done it with them, the way I am with him.
He is dynamite though. He is very confidently walking and has been since about christmas. His new thing is climbing on everything, hence the bruises to the forehead as inevitably with the climbing comes some great crashes. He has just cracked the 10kg mark and has 6 teeth. Four up the top and two on the bottom. He is finally :pray: (yes it will happen) sleeping through again from about seven till seven and he is having two one and a half to two hour sleeps during the day. How much are you hating me right now???:rolleyes: But in all seriousness he doesnt stop in between those sleeps so he really needs them and so do I!
The cluckiness thing is starting to kick in againg and I would really love to have another one but DHs job is a bit unstable at the moment so will have to hold off a bit. My brother and his wife are finally preggers though after IVF so hopefully that will hold me off for a while.
Big congratulations to those of you who are pregnant, that is awesome and I hope you are keeping well. Hope all your babies have enjoyed their special days for those that have had them. I expect there will be a few tears on my part tommorrow as I think about my baby growing up.
I think I have rattled on enough to bore you all and sorry for the non personals but I am hopeless at keeping track of where everyone is at :redface:
Happy Birthday Scout ! :happybirthday:
hope you have a great day with your mum dad and brothers !

Happy Birthday Scout!!
Just quickly all is going good here, DH started his new job yesterday and I think it seems it's going to work out in the end he can finish his apprenticeship.....phew!!
Birthday went well....I guess the big development is (and I KNOW you are all going to think OMG!! crazy woman!!) Jake is in his own big bed since Saturday. He loves it :D Sleeping much better most nights....he wakes around 4-5am, which is much better. So now I have an empty cot sitting here :( We are onto cow milk after lunch in a bottle, then a BF and cows milk top up for bed and a snuggly BF in bed in the mornings. Oh and Stacey.....Jake is very much the same as Scout, lol. For him the walking world is old hat now :lol: he's much more into climbing EVERYTHING!!
gotta run.

:happybirthday: SCOUT
Bec you don't sound crazy too me as we have been thinking of putting D into his own bed as well. I was reading somewhere that sometimes they wake up in thier cots when they hit the sides etc... cause they can be a little small and found they sleep better in their own cots. Good news about your DH and the new job.
Well work keeps rolling around, in the middle of it at the moment, soo tired..... so what else is new :p
Hi all,
I'm late sending birthday wishes, but wanted to say :happybirthday: Cohen and Scout for earlier in the week! I got on here Tuesday and said as much, but once again BB went kaput on me when I hit submit. Are you guys finding the same thing - that BB seems to 'drop out' often? It's started to give me the irrits ... you spend the time to type a decent response, only to lose it when the connection fails. Anyhoo ....
It's been a quiet week for us - Cam was supposed to have his second week at daycare, but instead came down with hand, foot and mouth disease! I can't get over how hideous it sounds ... particularly as it's not really a hideous condition. It just looks like Cam has a little pimple rash below his knees, with a few pimple-looking things on his feet and toes. I can only assume he caught it at daycare last week - he came down with the spots on Monday. He seems to have a mild dose of it and he's well, but I understand that if they get the blisters in their mouth, that's (understandably) when they get very grizzly and grumpy. But, we're under quarantine till the spots go. Hopefully it will go by Monday, as I'm back at work on Tuesday (oh joy :rolleyes:).
DH is going to work from home Tuesday so Cam can have a shorter day at care (provided he's ok to go back). Seeing as how he's missed going this week, DH and I don't want to him to have to do 7am till 5pm on his first day. We were supposed to build up to a full day this week, but obviously things didn't pan out that way!
I've got a few jobs to sort, so I need to keep going. I'll be back in the next couple of days to do personals.
Cheers, Andie xx
oh yeah, and Cam's finally cut his third tooth (one of his top front ones) ... finally!
Hiya ladies,
A very belated :redface: HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all those beautiful babies in our thread!! It sounds like everything went smoothly (minus the yellow M&M's lol) - but never mind!!
Bec - I'm so glad about DH being able to finish off his apprenticeship!!! :D That is great news. So I guess you'll be searching for a house before Feb eh? Either renting or buying?? At least the pressure of DH's job stability is off of your mind now!!
It's amazing how advanced all these babies are progressing!! I'm jealous - I can't keep using the prem baby excuse, can I?? ;)
Maddy is able to stand up with assistance and hold onto the furniture and walk around that way. She has three bottom teeth and two top teeth. She sleeps a good solid 10 - 12 hrs from about 6pm - 8pm, which has been a blessing. I get excited each morning to see her standing in her cot with a big grin on her face, jumping up and down - she's such a happy baby.
Oh, and Maddy wanted to share a secret with you all.....She is getting a baby brother!!!! YAY!!! :dance:
AFM - I have encountered some 'issues' with a boss at work - who had a go at me as I didn't want to attend a promotional display we were putting on - as I knew that standing around for 1-3 hrs would absolutely kill my back...a half an hour shopping trip does these days. He did the silly thing and told me not to use pregnancy as an excuse! Our workplace is hot on these topics and I put in a formal complaint about him. Now he's trying to get me into trouble for very, very minor things. What he's forgotten is that the 'big' manager - who is high up the food chain loves my work, and can see straight thru this guy!!! He, he, he!!!
:happybirthday: to E, Sam and Will, i hope you all have wonderful birthdays ! :birthday2:
Melinda

Quickly, Mum2Willie hope things are going smoother for you, and Andie, how did the transition back to work go??
Must turn this damn thing off again, I can't believe how much more Ive gotten done in the house!!
xxx
OMG where are you all?? :rofl:
don't tell me I'm a thread killer again???
Happy Easter to you all, we are heading off tomorrow for our Easter Holiday. Enjoy the time with your loved ones and won't the littlies just LOVE this Easter?? :lol:
Have a great easter bec
just popping in at work, currently on a break so just wanted Bec to know you are not a thread killer :lol:
Well the highlight of my day was Dp brought DS into town and we had lunch together at the library on the grass, very nice way to spend lunch.
DS has another tooth coming through so that is 7 so far. He is starting to walk more then he crawls and learning to walk in shoes too so cute.
Well it seems Dp is starting to know what it is really like to be home with littlies, he that for over an hour this morning DS cried and winged and cracked tantys if he picked him up, put him down, put him in his cot - didn't matter what he did DS just wasn't happy. Ah well now he knows ;)
Hope you all have a great easter
luv nic xxxooo
Hi guys,
Just wanted to pop in and wish everyone a happy Easter. And I'm very late in saying this, but I hope E, Will and Sam had fantastic first birthdays.
Life has been a bit crazy around here for the past couple of weeks since I went back to work part time. Even though I'm only working Tues/Wed/Thurs, I seem to have very little time to get on the computer!
And for my big news ... (ha ha, no it's not another baby - YET) ... we've put our house on the market on Saturday. Decided now is the time to sell, so fingers crossed we get a sale within a few weeks :pray:. The plan is to rent for 12 months while we find a block of land and build. We really want/need another home before we add to the family. Our current place is fine, but it's two bedrooms upstairs and one down - which would make life difficult if/when another baby comes along. Anyhoo, it's taking up a lot of my time to keep the place looking spiffy as we've already had inspections, plus photos for ads etc. It's bloody hard keeping a clean and tidy house with a toddler and two shedding dogs who have always 'lived' inside with us. Wish us luck for a good sale!
As for Cammie, well he's handling daycare ok, although he's been a bit off colour this week. Not actually sick, just no real appetite for food or milk, Thankfully he's drinking lots of water and he's eating just enough to get by, but he's not quite himself. They said he was a bit grotty at daycare today - very sooky - so I'll keep an eye on him. DH and I have just had gastro (luckily only lasted 24 hours without vomitting), and we both felt nauseous and off our food. So maybe that's what Cam's had a touch of - but without the spews or poos. At least he ate dinner tonight and drank a bottle of milk before bed, so I think he'll be ok.
Cam's on the verge of walking, I think. He'll walk around now providing he's got hold of a finger. Actually, he wants to run - after the dogs. Typical boy!
Work is going ok. I find things really heat up once Cam is picked up and we get home. It's all "go, go, go" from about 5.30-8.30pm. I need to find my routine, if that makes sense, as then things might fall into place a little easier. Truthfully, the hardest thing about working is going from seeing Cam 24/7, to only seeing him for approx 3-4 hours on the days I work. I hate that, and I miss him. Guess it's a taste of what DH has gone through since Cammie was born. Still, it makes me a bit sad. But I'm trying to look on the positive side of things and at least I've got 4 days at home with him.
Bec - hope you enjoy your time at Sheffield (saw that on FB) - don't freeze your bum off. Ditto I hope everyone else going away for Easter has a great time.
Leesa - congrats on your baby boy!! Your boss sounds like a total nitwit and if he's got any sense he'll take a course in management and discrimination before he next opens his big, fat gob. Thank goodness for your big boss!
Nic - awww, poor hubby. Nah, only kidding ;). Just a taste of what the past 12 months has been luck for you. Glad to hear things going well for you.
Will hopefully be back over Easter to say hello.
cheers, Andie xx
ok so time for an update.
I can say DS is definitely walking and he loves to pratice and practice. I swear at the moment all seems to do is laps of the house holding onto things, doesn't seem to matter if it's the tv controls, a toy or a tag from some new shoes I brought (they are red boots :lol: ) We were also given one of those doggy walky things that they hold onto and can push and he has gotten really good at pushing that around. He can really direct it where he wants to as well. I've got him in shoes learning to walk in them now too but he is a bit clumsy still.
Umm he is finally starting to kiss and cuddle, before he would just lean forward when I said kiss so I could kiss him but now I get the open mouth haha. He is still not saying much that I can understand but he has a language all of his own, he squeals and chat away. We do get the odd mum, maaaarm, dadad, nanan etc... and a baw (as in ball) one of his favourite toys.
I can't believe my almost 13 mnth can flirt, has been for awhile now but it really, really obvious now. He tries to charm every lady he meets, he smiles and 'talk' if he doesn't get a response he becomes louder, then when he has their attention he plays coy with them and looks away and back again. I can't believe it starts this young, my little man is going to be such a heart breaker :rolleyes:
He is starting to hate the pram, damn it. Um he can be clingy but I am lucky at the moment there are times throughout the day he is just happy doing his own thing checking out his toys intently.
Last time we weighed him he was 12kgs so he doesn't seem to have slowed down any haha. Lucky for me he now sleeps in his cot and I don't rock him to sleep anymore. He now has 2 day sleeps for about an hour, hour 15 mins each. He generally goes to bed between 7.30 - 8.30 and wakes once or twice through the night and is awake and ready for the day usually between 6 and 7 am. Now I wouldn't recommend other people do this but Dp has been keeping D up for about 4 hrs before he puts him down for his sleeps, ironically he nearly always falls asleep straight away (probably from exhaution :redface: ) but it's got to be better then him crying/protesting for 15-20 mins like before. Only time will tell if this works or not.
Ok onto personals, I may not get to everyone but will be back....
I really know how you feel Andie about going back to work even though it's only part time it is making the weeks fly by way too quickly now. The time away from D is hard but good at the same time :doh: goodluck with selling your house - hope you get a good price for it.
Bec, stop turning off your computer you are making us look bad ;) hope you are enjoying your time away and will have to call sometime next week.
Leesa, your boss sounds like a tosser, glad the higher boss loves your work and hope things settle soon for you. :dance: for maddy furniture walking, she will be walking before you know it. My bro didn't walk until his was 17 mnths, I was expecting D to be like that too cause he is a big kid.
Laura, how are you going?
Mel, how is things going for you, when are you due back to work?
Jo how things for you, did you get away for easter did DH get some time off?
Mum2Willie, how are things going with work and DS's sleep?
It was great to hear from you allboys, and hi to everyone else and how are you all going, sorry too tired to do anymore.
night xxxooo
Hello and Happy Easter.
Well, things have settled down quite a bit. Will is so much happier at his new child care and he is finally feeling like his old self. That illness really knocked him around for a couple of months!!
Now he is walking all over the house, bending down picking things up and off and going again. Last night he was playing with his titans football - running along, dropping it, kicking it and then picking it up again - so cute!!
We are starting to get into a routine with work - Andie - it does get a little easier - or maybe you just get use to running around madly!!
nic - glad to hear bub is falling to sleep by himself! Even if I keep Will up for 4 hours he doesn't go by himself!!! Will is into the tanty too now! The other day I got a drink from Maccas and he wanted some and cried all the way to the car! Embarrassing!
Leesa - sorry to hear about your boss at work! At least your bub is giving you such a beautiful night's sleep!
Bec - glad to hear about DH's work - must be a relief!
Talk soon - Have a lovely long weekend all!
