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 ....
the gown we have bought is vintage looking and is cotton.. got it for $54 all up including postage..which we were very happy with
SamiH...are you catholic? do you have to do prep before christening/baptism? we had to do a prep session before Jacks baptism
so true about boys clothes not much being available and no it doesn't get any easier as they get older...
Tany a - i find a lot of brides are like that... but honestly if you child is screaming do they think you would sit next to the alter so no one could hear the ceremony???
Amanda- lol yes you better go and sit with DH.. at least until he goes to work lol!!!
Sami-H we are tempted to just go to the church ourselves for the baptism for E. So hard to do the family thing as there will be close to 100 people there (nicks family is HUGE). Boo for having to drive to ballarat for yours!
Hi girls, just thought I would pop in and say hi. I have been reading and lurking but with so much going on not posting. I am having some pretty serious issues with my Bipolar, almost ended up with an admission last week. Thankfully made it to yesterday to see the psych and figure out the problem. Hopefully all things going well my normal self should be returning sometime round the end of the week thank goodness!!! Its been a rough few weeks, it started before Christmas. Unfortunately I need to start a new medication which is never fun and this one comes with serious drink lots of water or else warnings. I am so bad at doing that, but I am going to have to find a way.
All the bubs have changed so much in the ticker photos!!
Hope all the mums are going well.
Hopefully will be back for real soon.
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.
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.
