Hiya everyone,

Jen and Liz- sounds like your bubs are going great. Im impressed with the eating! im so scared that Abby is going to choke. When i give her a banana, i mash it up and feed her with a spoon... if we go out for tea, she has 'sketti' and i spend ages cutting up the pasta. She did get a few long ones tho and it was the cutest thing in the world- seeing her suck them up like a pro.

She mainly eats pasta and veg, wheet bix for breakfast, some fruit as snacks, a teddy bear biscuit every now and then. Toast doesnt really get eaten, and i did give her a sandwich once but then freaked out and took it off her. I want to give her more fruit but that scares me too. She does eat anything we eat really, but i make it look like mush first or cut it into such small pieces.

Can you all please help me out and tell me what your babies eat and how you prepare it?

I feel like a bad mum now, but im just so scared. Mum freaked me out and told me that she saw a 5 year old on tv that had to be spoon fed!!

As for other things... shes very happy and very healthy. Loves her drinks of juice and water in this heat. Loves to swim.

We had a weekend of trouble with her teeth playing up a couple of weeks ago. Now i know what all this fuss about teething babies is all about. Abby has 4 and a half teeth, and the first 4 were nothing! This last one was a pain and it was horrible to see her like that. I couldnt believe the fits she was throwing and wacko the next day she has a tooth thru. Its one of the top middle ones. Shes also currently cutting the bottom one left of the middle 2, and the other top middle one is right there bulging waiting to cause some trouble. That will be 3 teeth this month!!!

Shes been doing 2-3 poos a day... so delightful!

So onto the TTC... just waiting for AF to show up... im on day 27 so it can be long (cycles are 28-29 days) Im a bit cross with my body at the moment as ive had cramps, tingles and all sorts of aches and my boobs have been sore for the past 2 weeks.... so basically its going to mean nothing when next month im looking for pregnancy symptoms (as ya do!) and ill have the sore boobs and cramping. Bugger. lol i would hate having to wait till a missed AF to test! (lol here we go again!!! now its all coming back to me! the joys of ttc)

Dont think im gonna get my VBAC, the odds are going to be against me if/(when) i get GD and am on insulin. Im not sure that you can be induced when ur having a VBAC (i was told this) and its "normal" (apparently) to get induced at 38w with GD/insulin. I dont know, i cant think about it anymore, im just going round in circles.

Congrats to all the babies who are starting to walk! Silly Abby thinks she can just get up off the floor without any help... she pushes herself up onto her feet with her hands on the floor and trys to stand up that way... ofcourse its not going to work!! haha
