Hey girls, wow i can't belive our bubbas are growing so fast Evangeline was officialy 8mths old today. Question, any other bubs gone completly of solids? Evangeline refuses to eat anything now!! Hope everyone is well. Sorry i hardly post lately, just been so busy with the auction and stuff.
Hi ladies, I've sort of caught up... It will take me a while!
Fi and Liz, I admire you for considering TTC again! I know I'm not ready and not even sure if we will have another bubby.
Don't mis-interpret, I love being a mum and love E more than I ever knew I could. I always only wanted one baby so ATM we are considering whether to have a playmate for E but if we do it won't be for at least a year anyway.
As I mentioned before, we have been quite busy lately with moving etc. I went back to work 4 days (but v flexible hrs so I am home to spend time with E for a bit each a'noon) and I also take E to swimming lessons and a kindermusik class. I was also going to look at a kinder gym for him but haven't gotten there yet....
I do all this with him cos he doesn't go to daycare. My MIL looks after him. She is 49 and doesn't work and really loves spending the time with him so far. I am considering putting him in DC 1 day a week soon as he seems to really love playing with other kids... If he's going to be an only child I don't want him to be a difficult one that doesn't play well with others!
I'll agree with everyone about how beautiful it is to hear them talking. E says a few words like mum, dad, baby, dog, cat, nan, nana (for banana) and uh-uh-uh whenever he is about to do something he knows ge shouldn't! Very cheeky monkey.
Well I am at work so better get back to it! I have AL next week as we have family visiting so will be taking E to seaworld and gold coast a fair bit (we will take our guests away from the disaster that is Brisbane ATM).
It's funny, while being pg with DS, we said we'd like the same gap that DH and BIL have which is bout 2 months off 3 years. Then, when DS was born, we said we're not going to have another for 5 years - Then, on Boxing Day, DH said he wanted another baby and I'd been getting clucky for the last 2 months.. So, we thought what better time really?
I'm looking for a new job, I just can't handle the immaturity from EVERYONE there (It's hard to explain unless your actually there) but haven't been sucessful just yet. I know something will come for me, it's all a matter of waiting
Welcome back Tammie!!! It's great to see you in here again. Sounds like everything is going well. I'm glad you are ok with all the horrible things going on up your way. I know a lot of ladies that have kids that don't go to day care either because they are a SAHM or have family to look after their babies, however, some of them now put their little ones in day care for a few hours or 1 day a week to assist with social skills. Leila has been going to day care since she was 3 months old and she really loves it! She loves playing with other kids and they do so much structured activity so I feel it is a really good environment for her to develop social and behavioural skills.
DM yes I will get some paid maternity leave in this job which is better than my last job where i got nothing!!
Liz it's hard when you are trying to find a new job. I had been looking for a while and I was starting to get really disheartened as I wasn't having much success - DH kept telling me to stay positive and that something was just around the corner and eventually the right opportunity came up and I'm glad it took a while as I feel like this is definitely the right job for me where as others I had applied for were probably not as well suited. So hang in there, I know it's tough but the right opportunity will present itself!
Well Leila helped me with the washing this morning - she helps mummy with everything these days. So she was putting clothes into the machine and I left the room to grab a few other things, came back and we turned the machine on..... When the wash had finished I opened the machine and realised that Leila had put one of her books in the wash!!!!! I guess she thought it was dirty...
I have just come home to a little boy with a vomiting bug. So sad seeing him vomit, I can tell he doesn't understand what's happening cos he just keeps looking at me with sad little eyes. He's napping ATM so hopefully it will help him a bit.
