Alz - how fantastic that your ILs are letting you move into their place. I am sure you are very reliable tenants LOL. Are your ILs from NZ? I've been there a couple of times and always thought it'd be a nice place to live. Good luck with the TTC. Its been a bit quiet in here on the announcement front. Becky - how exciting that Chella is nearly taking her first steps. Don't think L is anywhere near ready yet. Celtic - good that Ryan's ear has cleared up. Still sceptical about the garlic oil, but you have to try it to see don't you. Good luck with the TTC. Kellie - hope T feels better soon. Trish - only reason I've been quiet is that I have nothing much to say, but thanks for asking. Hope K is feeling better soon. You have a very clever little boy there.
So, since Trish asked, we are fine. We'll actually we are fine now. I think. L was doing huge vomits at daycare today and we got the call to pick him up. He then spewed twice on DH. Managed to get him down to sleep and he's been asleep since so hopefully whatever it was has worked it's way through. I think something must be going 'round. 2 of my friend's bubs had the same thing. L hasn't been near them in months so he didn't get it from them.
Recent developments include L pointing with his index finger. Until now he's been reaching/pointing with his whole hand. There's a lot of drool at the moment so suspect he's teething but can't see any sign yet. No new words, still buba and dada, but he is babbling more. His sleeping is getting pretty good. Most nights he sleeps through or is able to put himself back to sleep and the nights that we do get up to him its just a quick dummy check. So can't complain.
Question - thinking back to the early days I seem to recall some people saying they'd be starting to try again at 12months. Can see that this is the case for 2 of our group (and another 3 didn't even wait that long LOL). For the others, has the timing of a second or third changed as the bub's become older?
Well that's it from me. Hi to everyone that I've missed.
Nerida - good to hear all is well with you and Lachie (apart from the vomiting - there has been a bug going around Brissie lately.) Question for you - does Lachie cry when you drop him at Daycare? Obviuosly he settles, but how long did it take him to really feel happy there?
Yes, we are trying for number 2. :-) Can't wait to hold another new little bundle in my arms, although at the same time I sometimes wonder how I could possibly love the next baby as much as I love Mateo. Do you think the first is always a bit special? But then I suppose each one that comes along has something that makes them special too...
Star - Congrats! I didnt know you were trying! The entire time I was pregnant with Chel, I was sooo worried that there was no way I could really love another baby as much. I think everyone does. I honestly thought there was no possible way. But trust me, you just do! I love both of my babies so equally, for different reasons and qualities. Dont know how but ya just seem to acquire more love!
Saffi -AWwwww poor Lachlan. I hope he is better in the morning! As for me, nope I still havent changed my plans. We will still probably start trying in about 2 years. I get sooo clucky sometime, but there is no way I want 3 babies at home at the moment, no matter how adorable they are... LOL. I just dont feel ready for that. Cant wait to plan a numbe 3 though! How about you? Are you trying?
Hi to everyone else! Im going birthday cake planning now tomorrow! LOL
Terri - L has been in daycare since he was 6 months old and before separation anxiety started, so he is used to the carers, the room, the other babies etc. Having said that there are days that he does cry when I go to leave but the carers distract him with cuddles and I make the bolt. I have looked back at him through the window and he appears to settle very easily and starts playing. He used to "cry" when we'd pick him up at the end of the day (another sign of separation anxiety), but now it is more "you're here, oh bright toy" and goes off and plays with something. I have always tried to make daycare a positive experience for him. I think the age difference between L and Mateo starting makes the difference. Just have to hang in there as sad as it makes you feel, he is okay and I am sure has a great time after a few tears. What does his carers say?
As for TTC, well I won't be disappointed if #2 were to appear, but at the same time would like to cherish L a bit more. That said my age, the fact that L was 2.5 years in the making and not wanting to have a huge age gap between babies are all considerations. Not having a second I couldn't imagine how you'd be able to love another as much as the first, but I am sure you do.
Becky - acquire more love. Well put! You're doing a butterfly cake?
Yep ya just do acquire it. Love both of my babies to bits. And I understand now that if I wre to have #3, I would love it just as much too. I think thats something all parents worry about.
I was doing a butterfly cake but now Im just not sure. LOL> Gee what a dillemma!!!
OB appoinment went well Cookie is doing well.
Starting to feel more regular kicks now which is great
Maddi is finally starting to sleep in her cot, it's still in our room but at least it's a start!
Oh wow Mo that is great news. So glad that everything is going well with COokie. I know we have asked you this before but I forget, are you finding out the sex?
