Wow this is an effort catching up on everyones posts! But I think I'm done! Just thought I'd tell you all a bit about me since I feel like I know you all now after reading so many posts!
My name is Jen and my DH is Sean. We have an almost 5 month old baby girl called Mackenzie(OMG i can't write newborn anymoreI am hopeless at typing and always have trouble typing what I mean to say, so sorry in advance for sometimes making spelling errors and bad grammar!
We will TTC again soon and putting in an order for a boy, although I would LOVE another girl , but DH would to try for a son if you girls know of any tricks (iykwim) to increase our chances I'd be interested in hearing them! Don't get me wrong I won't be disappointed with a girl and to be honest having a boy would be so strange because I'm so used to having girls!
This thread seems like a very freindly and chatty place so I look forward to getting to know everyone !
sezjm: I have been *demand* caring for Kenzie since she was born and heaven knows I have had a lot of comments like "your making a rod for your own back ... your spoiling her ... you'll regret this bleh bleh" If shes hungry I feed her sometimes it will be every 30 minutes then she'll go 5-6 hours without it. She loves her mummy boobie sometimes just for comfort not necessarily for a drink iykwim. I never leave her crying and I have co slept with her since birth .. although now she is transitioning to her own cot and loving it .. she has *just taken a dummy which helps alot. So I think what your doing with Nicholas (who is just gorgous btw) is fantastic and will nurture the close bond between you two!
Dan: I had a look at your gallery and I just love the one of Olivia sitting on the couch grinning from ear to ear. She looks like a very happy bubba. I also noticed you have a jolly jumper .. how is it attached to the ceiling? Is it safe and secure? I'd love to get Kenzie one for chirstmas. My DH and your DH would probably get along like a house on fire ... well if they got off the computer that is! My DH's routine: work .. come home ... sit on computer playing games usually WOW and talking over the head set thing ... getting off when I call him for dinner ... eat while playing with laptop in lounge ... back to computer ... ask if im interested in sex ... goes to bed ... get up go to work. IT DRIVES ME NUTS! I actually did say something to him and he now spends some time with Kenzie after dinner but sometimes I feel like my husband is having an affiar with the dam game!
Hayley: My thoughts are with you trying to overcome PND. I suffer from PND Anxiety. If you ever need a chat the BB forums are a great place to turn to. I have has heaps of support here and also to take your mind off life and have some "me" time. I don't know how you manage being away from your DS, it must be reallllly difficult
Lulu: Thanks for th warm welcome and ~wow~ I just noticed your pregnant again! Are you b/f? We are TTC asap but AF is no where in sight :/ Congratulations! Mackenzie is also enjoying kicking in her little summer outfits, she is no where near as grizzly as she used to be, I don't think she liked having her feet in the all in one suits .. but thats just a guessGreat news about the scan that is a fantastic result for the Downs ratio, I remember having all these tests done ... it seems so long ago now!
Danni: Danni poor little Mason. Is he still sick with a cold? Have you tried putting a vapouriser in the room to help him breath at night?
Ashlee: Congrats on blakes 6 month birthday!! On Kenzies I think we'll celebrate with some nice cheesecake! Any excuse
Tan: Izzys photos in your gallery are just beautiful! I love the black and whites. Not sure if Izzy is sleeping better now but I read that she "startles" in her sleep then wakes up? Mackenzie used to do that too (and still does) I ended up wrapping her with her arms out. That fixed the problem for us! Also when I wrap her just a cotton one at the moment, it sends the message that its bed time! What on earth is Tweddle!?!?
Kristen: I had a sticky beak at Mia's Website and it is just BEAUTIFUL! What a precious keepsake to have as she grows up. The photos are just brilliant, you can really tell they are taken by someone who knows what they are doing. Are you a photographer?
Kelly: I really can sympathise with the sleeping through the night issue. On average Kenzie gets up for a feed 4-5 times a night! I am so lucky to be a SAHM so I can get some sleep during the day. She just hasn't got the idea that when its night it sleep time .. she almost 5 months and I'm still waiting - just getting up once would be nice! Luke looks like he could be the identical twin of a little boy I looked after when I was working in child care .. very freaky!
Lee: Hello! Thank you for the welcome! You little ethyn is only 5 days older than my Kenzie! They do grow up soooo quickly its rather scary ... enjoy every second! I have a Nappy bag I got from a baby shop, its an espirit one lots of compartment etc etc tbh I've never used it! I just usually through a nappy and wipes in my handbag .. one of these day I'm going to get caught out with a magapoo and need spare clothes .. so I should get organised huh!
Michelle: I'm with you on the glass of wine! I so miss my red wine
Jane:Hi Jane .. I love the name Ella! It was on the short list for our DD, but I wanted Taylah for a middle name and Ella Taylah was a little too rhyming for my DH's (very picky) taste. Hmm anyway! Ella sounds like a delightful little girl, it very cute listening to the babbles isnt it? Is she feeling better now and over her cold?
Jan: Julian sounds like he is in a great night time routine. Kenzie is so random I never know when she is going to wake up!
Aniejade: Thanks for welcoming me! I voted for Khai (gorgous name btw .. if we have a boy next I'll metion this to DH! I also don't mind Khya) I hope you win!!
