Awe, I did not get or did not see the notifacations for your replies
Danni, how are you going? I am really sorry for so much lack of contact, I have been so busy and sort of stranded with all this rain. Are you free this Wednesday? I would love to come out for a visit if you are.
Blondie. Good to hear from you although I get to keep up a little on FB. I am so glad you are going well. I saw your other thread about when to try for #2, I hope you have worked things out. We have decided to start trying again mid next year but I am going through a stage of wanting to try now but it is not practical. I have just enrolled to do some study and I have my trip to Vegas in July. So while I sort of mourne every month when I get AF I know it is for the best.
Tammara only has a few days left. Having her baby on Valentines, what a love filled day to be born on.
Kazzo: I know what you mean about "mourning" AF. I think you should definitely have a lovely Holiday in Vegas in July and then start trying when you get back....I would love a Holiday to the US. Or you could start trying on Holidays hehehe. That being said, I have been pregnant on Holidays before and I felt fine, I guess it would depend on if you are prone to Morning Sickness?
Aidan is chucking a LOT of tantrums at the moment...ranging from screaming and headbutting things to chucking food out of his highchair. He also has been scrunching things, like if you pick him up he will scream and scrunch your face or arm or even your leg if he is tantruming on the floor. :O it is bloody doing my head in.This morning he threw his water bottle out of the highchair the lid burst off and water went everywhere, I gave him a smack on the arm (man did I feel bad) and he screamed but it seems like the only way to get through to him. I try holding his hands and saying no, I give him a gentle tap on the hand and say no and he doesn't even bat an eyelid! any tips?
On the baby number 2 side of things: Hubby came into the kitchen yesterday and said, "the more I think about it, the more I think once finances are sorted and we are going ok, we should try for #2 " he is concerned that Aidan has only child syndrome and I think he might be correct....but is that a good enough reason to TTC another baby? I really want a second, but I want to have one because I want a second child, not because I want to offset this bad behavior from Aidan. What I really wanted to hear from Hubby is " Honey, I want to have another baby, let's give Aidan a sibling"
Hi Blondie, Every month right on ovulation time I get that argh who cares what I have coming up I want to try now and then I start thinking it is just the hormones talking and messing with my head so I have to remind myself constantly of waiting to start TTC. When I went to Vegas we had Amelia with us (she was 3.5months) and although I had a great time, I would really love to enjoy it completely child/baby free and that includes a bun in the oven so that is pretty much my main reason for waiting now. I know I could work around the study so that alone would not stop me.
I completely understand what you mean about how your DH said it to you about TTC, I would just try and remember that him been a man he would not always think of it in a hormonal way, more a practical way because when you think about it the whole child baring and even after the baby is born can be very dettaching for the father. So when it comes to thinking about things they see it from how they are most involved and how it affects them, so he sees it as finances should be good and it could help with settling Aidan's behaviour. Gosh I hope that makes sense. I know when I was talking about wanting number 2 I was always saying, my heart wants another baby and I would not feel complete and DH was on about money and how the girls would feel.
One thing that I have never let myself do is react to a tantrum. I can honestly say that Amelia has only thrown maybe 2 or 3 tantrums in her near 3 years and Macey has tried a couple of times but now knows it gets her nowhere. I just move them from the situation and leave them. If Macey hits me while I am holding her then I put her down and walk away. She then realises that it if she wants to be where I am then she must be nice. I don't want to come over all smug or bragging so please know I am not meaning to be at all but my girls are really good girls, I have very little issues with Amelia and never really have had any and Macey is growing up pretty much the same way so I don't have a whole lot of advice because I don't really know what I am doing that is working so well.
I did read a great thread on here that Heaven posted a while ago about living peacefully with a 2 year old and that was the best thing I have ever read. I know we are a little way off 2year olds but it still gives you something to think about. If you want I can find it and add a link.
Danni, when you do get back on here I am always thinking about you and I hope this week has not been to hard on you.
And yay to Tammara. They got the sex right this time I am so happy for you and your family.
Thanks for the reply Kazzo - I think your right - I probably react way too much when I should just put him down and walk away and let him cry and carry on without me there to witness. And no, I don't think your bragging your being honest. I actually like hearing stories of well behaved children - it gives me hope
I think I will read Heaven's Article thanks for the tip
I can understand you not wanting to be preggers or have a little one in Vegas. I was pregnant on my Honeymoon and yeah, it was still good but could have done a lot more without a little bun in the oven I also took Aidan to Vanuatu at 6 months - never again. He was sick the whole time
It's so hard to resist the urges though hey - I don't know about you but I find I am way more "active" when I have babies on the brain
Tammara - if you are reading this! Congratulations on getting that long awaited little pink princess!
