Tanya - you may have to let her cry from 15 minutes so you can eat.
Unfortunately bubs tend to do this
I had to carry DS the whole of DH's xmas party (6 hours) and was exhausted but he wanted his mumma. I gave him to DH so i could go to the toliet/change DD and he screamed the whole time but he just took him where i couldnt hear it.
Have you got a sling? Perhaps family can wear her in a sling?
weven't come across Jack crying when held by other people yet...note i said "yet" i am waiting for that....he does 'sometimes' tend to cry when he goes from me to hubby and hubby gets abit peeved....
well we have a baptism gown woo hoo!!!! now....i am waiting on a nappy cover
PP - It's a good friend of my DH who's getting married and I don't know anyone who's going very well. I don't mind if Maya cries while I eat I'm more thinking of the person who has to hold her. Not sure if there will be any volunteers to hold a screaming baby while I eat or not. But I guess my DH can spare some time here and there to take her off my hands. And maybe someone there will not mind holding a crying baby. I've just found lately that now that she cries in people's arms they are always in a huge hurry to pass her back to me.
Tanya - as hard as it is to hear the crys. i fyou need 10 minutes to eat or pee lol just pass her on and tell them, 'she may cry'
Also i am sure DH can take her even if he is at the bridal table. i owuld just sit down with him before hand so he understands.
it made me think of when DD was 13 monthso ld and we went to a wedding. It was a family wedding so heaps of family there lol. But she didnt want anyone but me or DH to hold her. It was a short night, i told DH i would take her home (i almost 7 months preg at the time and it was hard to hold her)... and he could stay but he insisted we went home together.
Also i told the bride before hand that i would be taking a pram../. the one thing i have learnt is BABIES LOVE loud muffled music. And i had the pram off to the side - everyone knew she was there and would check in on her and she slept weel from about 8pm.
We toook DD as a babie to lots of xmas parties etc and she would go to sleep tothe muffled bands and music. so just check with the bride they dont mind you taking a pram, and they may be kind enough to seat you somewhere suitable to have a pram close by you could rock bubs to sleep during dinner ?
Actually I don't feel like Maya is welcome at the wedding. The bride to be didn't want me to bring her and I had to explain that I'm BF. Then the bride to be said that there's a room at the reception where I can leave Maya. And I had to explain that you can't leave a 3 month old alone in a room somewhere. Then the bride to be said she didn't want Maya to cry during the ceremony and I told her I can't control that. I think the venue staff talked sense into her actually and they organised for me to sit somewhere where I can have a pram next to me.
*tanya*
HONESTLY i would have said..."have a nice wedding then if you can't accept i am BF and won't leave my bub" she obviously has no concept of young babies.... HOW RUDE!!!
AmandaJ - yeah it poops me that he is waking again, but what can you do??? After the two dummy pops I get the picture he now wants a feed, and honestly Zander is quick feed and back to bed, so is quicker too hehehe. It is hot here too so he is probably thirsty - hopefully just another stage .....
katones - i know what you mean about boys clothes, it doesnt change when they get older too does it! I am godmother at a christening in 2 weeks and I have got the feeling she expects us to be really dressed up - she has two girls so they always get the whole works. Anyway, what does Riley wear - he will be nearly 6 - he can wear a shirt, but he doesn't have dress pants - so he will still wear jeans - and then footwear, he doesnt have dress shoes - she will just have to accept it.
Tanya - ok, after they are married and down the track she has had her first child - you and DH renew your vows or something and then try and tell her her baby can't come! Man, 3 month olds are not a disrution, they are a blessing, i cant believe she commented about her crying during the ceremony - so what, it should be special cos you have the people there who you want to share the special moment with - as youcan tell I could go on try best & less for some dresses at the moment, they have some with tuille underneath for $20 I know in size 1 but not sure about smaller. Just a nice sundress is fine.
Zander is fine being held by someone else, as long as I am within eyesight or earshot - but this changes all the time - but cos i have other kids he has gotten used to me saying to my friends etc - here just give him a cuddle whilst i do .... for the other kids.
We are having Zander baptised but not until 19/04 - we have to travel to Ballarat for family as they all won't come up here - so first school holidays we will go. I would rather do it here where our life and friends are - but ho hum. Riley wore black pants and a white shirt set I bought super cheap for $30 and he was 7 months, but Zander is going to be smaller than Riley was at his age so I will need to buy something - but I won't have him in a gown at 7 months - will have to start looking ....
