    Hi Girls, big hugs to sick bubbas and lots of sleepy dreams to those who need them.

    Miss B is dragging/crawling with one leg, around the floor like no tomorrow! She gets up on her hands and knees rocking and then slide back on to her belly and drags to what she wants. Is still having 3 sleeps a day and 12 hours overnight, was considering knocking out that last 'nap' at 4/430pm but I have my coffee break then so am keeping it for now Have started having 3 meals a day now and have introduced mince 1 so far and she devoured it!! DH says even Miss B loves his cooking! How often should I be giving her meat, do you think? Also, at what texure are your bubbies having their meals? Miss B's are pureed but not to the point of liquid, it will stick to the spoon but not sure when to move on to mashed etc...

    I havent turned Miss B's car seat around even though she can sit and is over 9 kg because it is safer for them to face that way, so the ambo man told me. When she starts cracking up about it I will turn her around.

    Am seriously thinking about bub number 2 DH said 'yes', so next year we will be TTC #2, I want to return to work for 12 months before we start again so around August/September 2010 we will start getting serious. Am not sure I would be able to cope with the gap much less than that between the kids and this will be my last pregnancy. Am already thinking of names (I work in a baby area, so comes with the territory) and DH and I cant agree! He likes Amelia (I dont because I dont like nicknames - especially MILLIE!! sounds like a pet name to me) and I like Ava. We both dont mind Olivia, and I can live with Liv or Livvy s nicknames, oh well planty of time to fight about it

    Hope you are all good, time to do some washing and vacumming the floor, again!!

    Hi!!!

    Mini: No I wasnt always Reborn. Used to waiting... and now I'm not I cant believe it wont take long for all our bubs to be crawling confidently and then walking! I dont want ds to grow up so fast!!!!

    Zoo: I gave ds mashed up sausage with mashed potato and carrot last night. I see what you mean about the meat!! He loved it. Never even crossed my mind to use mince. As for the pureeing, I've never done it. I didnt even know we had a pureer til dh showed it to me. So all the food ds has had as been mashed. Were thinking of ttc #2 and were looking at names too. So far we've got Charlie and Sophie. BTW my little neice is named Olivia and her nickname is Ollie. Hope that doesnt put you off the name.

    AFM ds is having some pro pics done of him today. Hopefully I can figure out how to post them up here. He keeps waking for feeds at night which is slowly killing me. Plus he has 3 naps a day and I'm not game to try and drop any of them. Still clingy but so cute in a baby monkey kind of way

    Hi all,

    Get well wishes for all the sick bubbas!!

    Sienna is facing forwards in her carseat. We had initially bought the Fisher Price baby capsule (that clicks in and out of the carseat base, and into the pram) and she grew out of that pretty quickly, so once we bought the standard carseat we put it forward straight away. I have heard that it is safer to have bub facing rearwards tho.

    Sienna has recovered from her cold, although she still has a lingering cough. Other than that, she has been well. Still crawling backwards, but we have floorboards so there's not a lot of traction. We've just bought one of those big rubber matts to put down so hopefully that will help her get moving.

    We actually had five blissful nights where Sienna slept through the whole night from 6ish to 6ish!! Woo hoo!! Unfortunately it was short-lived and we're back to the up-and-down nights. I've been desperately trying to think if I did anything different during those days....ahh who knows!! We're off to the cottage on Friday for some sleep tips so hopefully that will help. During her day sleeps, Sienna only sleeps for 40mins so she's just not re-settling after that first sleep cycle, so fingers crossed that help is on the way!!

    Sienna is having three solid meals a day and three bottles. We've cut out the dream feed and the middle of the night feed and she seems to be coping fine. She's certainly not a skinny bubby!! Her food is still fairly pureed, but we're starting to introduce chunkier bits and pieces. She loves munging out on half a banana and chunks of bread.

    I think that hubby and I will probably wait awhile before TTC #2. The lack of sleep with Sienna is killing me, and I need some restoration time before the next one!! We're thinking of trying when Sienna is 18m - 2 years old. There have been so many births at my work lately, so many gorgeous babies, so I am feeling very slightly clucky :-)

    Take care all!!

    Hi Girls,

    I totally missed this thread, didn't realise a new one had started Anyhoo I have read all your posts. Hope all you are all doing well, and your bubbas too.

    I don't have a lot of time to post at the moment. Will try and BBL for personals. But Lara has started crawling now. She started on the weekend, on DH's b'day of all days so he was stoked. She already has a carpet burn on her knee poor little girl.

    Anyway gotta go, talk soon
