Babies Born May 2006 #48

Elissa - for me it just sounds so weird, having had such a small baby and then possibly such a big baby. Two opposites ends of the spectrum, but hey as long as I don't have Gestational Diabetes, it will actually be nice to have a big healthy boy really. It is funny I went and bought all of these 0000 clothes as Lachlan's were all unisex and I wanted Riley to be in blue right from the start and now he possibly will only be in them for a short while - IF AT ALL!!! Beats a big change to my boy that was in 0000's till he was 3-4mths old.

Check out Riley's 3D ultrasound pic in my photo gallery. He is so cute!

sheree - i just saw the 3D pic, i was so excited i made Jay come and have a look too! Riley is adorable already!! Do you think he looks like Lachlan?? Arch was in 0000 for 2-3 weeks, so at least Riley should get a little bit of wear out of them anyway.

Archie is being impossible to put to bed lately (i know i shouldn't complain to you after all Lachlan has put you through!). He has always gone to sleep with the door closed, but all of the sudden he wants it open, but he continuously comes out with the door open or constantly screams with it shut! Just now he is lying on the kitchen floor pretending to snore......He sang a beautiful song this arvo that consisted of the words "f%$kin' Mum" repeatedly....NICE!

Yeah I think he is very cute too, but I could be bias being the mum and all. Thanks for making such nice comments about him. Makes a nice change for a bub at this gestation to actually have chubby cheeks. Wade's mum said, Omg he is cooked and ready. OMG I am thinking NOT!!!! hehe. Looks nothing like Lachlan. Lachlan was scrawny and the tiniest nose and mouth, I have never seen anything like him ever! But Riley's is so much bigger and geez we are talking 28 weeks, which totally spins me out! It is so nice to finally see my baby have a bit of chub about him to be honest, just still a bit weird those as I am not use to it, having being use to Lachlan for the last 2 years obviously. So anyway maybe I might have a bub that looks after me and a bub that is hungry. Now wouldn't that be nice.

Agggh don't worry we all have our moments, Lachlan has been horrible esp before he got sick, but he is actually not refusing bed atm which is gr8. But we are still in a cot too, which I think would be far easier then the bed of which you are encountering. But we will be there soon and I will have the grief then which will be fun. I just can't believe the phases they go thru to be honest, every week or nearly every day there is something different. It is funny though, we were in Mackay for a week and he slept thru every night bar one! I swear he is so much better in his portacot. Came home and last night he was a shocker AGAIN!!! Can't wait to get away again to have sum decent sleep again! Omg at Archie saying that to you. Wonder where they pick it up from, you poor thing. I would die if Lachlan said that, but I am sure our time will come too!

sheree - yeah, i must admit that when you said he was cute i thought "oh yeah your biased", but he really is cute, he does look full term already, i didn't think he looked like Lachlan either, seems like they will be chalk and cheese. Arch used to sleep way better in his portacot too, so i ended up getting rid of his cot and he just used his portacot full time, but of course he outgrew that quicker than he would have a cot. I bought some Brauers Calm, gave him some this arvo before i put him to bed, seems to be working he has criedor screamed, he is just playing in the bedroom. Tonight will be the real tester though.

Arch and i are celebrities LOL We had our pic taken for the local paper, and i had to comment on whether i thought making cough medecine a prescription item was a good thing. I said it probably is a good thing as many parents tend to medicate their children too often and often the cough medicine doesn't actually do anything anyhow. I overheard 2 other mums saying that it was a stupid idea and would be an absolute nuisance, so it seems that i, of course, am the odd one out

Mum is having Archie sleep over at her place on Saturday night, i am so looking forward to a full nights sleep and sleeping past 6am! Jay has this boring work dinner/conference thingy which i am invited to but i doubt I'll i think i'd be bored *****less, might just stay home and enjoy the total peace and quiet, might even get into some study (shock horror!)

Shazz that's great to hear!!!

I was thinking of you Tuesday Sheree as I was driving many hours down the highway for a meeting. I'm so pleased Riley's cyst is gone. He is lovely. He does look ready, but then you think 1 and a bit kilos, that's tiny isn't it? I was borderline GD too and Darcy wasn't huge at the end. 6.1 is pretty good though.

I hear ya on the sleep in Sheree. I had a meeting 4 and a half hours away last Tuesday night. We get free accomodation at the Police Accademy, but I cancelled mine and booked a motel instead. Cam looked after Darcy. It was so nice to just be by myself. I'm going to volunteer for more meetings I think. Though I was still awake at 5.30am even though I didn't have to get up until 7.

Not great about the song though Elissa....

Darcy has a thing with Happy Birthday at the moment. SHe telss you Happy Birthday at the drop of a hat. lol. Don't know where she got it from. She also can sing all the songs I've been singing to her since birth. Cam thinks with her and I both singing all the time this baby won't have a chance. I'm also so proud of her manners at the moment. Instead of No thanks, she says "no 'anks pease", and she even says 'scuse me Mum' when I'm in her way. If she goves me something and I just take it she says' Ta Mum", and she always says thankyou mummy when you hand her something. I sooo hope it continues because my mum is the manners queen and made sure we had the appropriate manners to visit the queen, whereas Cameron and his family have no idea.
