Tiff - thanks for the advice re TT. I'm not in any rush to get him trained up and I figure one day it will just fall into place. At least DC is doing much of the training.
Started M on solids on the weekend. Just rice cereal at this stage. L was insisting that the RC was his so I let him have some and he hated it! LOL I'm hoping to introduce M and L to veggies and fruit at the same time. Anything she does he also has to do so I think I'm in with a good chance.
L went without a day sleep yesterday and boy did we have a grumpy toddler on our hands.
Hi Girls, I feel like I have been neglecting you .. as I normally get on to check and post on the belly buddies group to see who else has popped. We had a big run on over half of the group having our babies early and now there are just a few left who are on time or running late!
Pish - I personally would not stress too much. She is just curious and understanding it the best way she can. The things my girls come out with when I was pregnant was always surprising. She us pretty switched on if she can relate to her doll going on your breast like a baby would. I think that is great for a 2 year old. It sounds like you are handling it well by explaining that your milk won't be there until after bubs is born. If you tell her it is just for your special baby, that might help as well if you are feeling uncomfortable with her wanting you to breastfeed her bubby! Hope that makes you feel a bit better x
Saffi - I can't believe your little girl is 6 months already. They grow so quickly! As for toilet training, you are at least doing better than me with Tay. She has no idea. We take her nappy off and she is happy to sit on the potty, but wees as soon as she is off. I guess some kids just take longer, so I will give her a break and try again a bit later. She might get the concept of it then!
Julia - How are you settling back into life in Singapore? I am finding it so much easier to leave and be away from my family than I ever have. Maybe it is because we are so busy with the kids etc now and life is settled for us in Melbourne. How are you coping?
Mo - How are your girls going? You have been in my thoughts!
Kellie - I forgot to say thanks for doing my BA. How are you travelling with your pregnancy? Your time will be here before you know it! Big tip, cover the willy ... never forget to cover the willy! I have been squirted so many times, so hard to get used to!
Amber - We love the name Luka and we considered having it for a girl as well, but using a C so it would be Luca. But we had Kirby Addison picked out for another girl, we loved the name Kirby. Luka was our boys name since we were pregnant with Mia. We did have Kynan for our middle name back then though.
Trish - How is life with having a big school boy? I bet you don't know yourself with the two kids home now during the day. It is amazing how the flow of the day changes when you take one of the children out of the equation. We are finding Tay so different when Mia is at kindy. She acts like the big girl of the house, chat more, is super cute and so well behaved.
to everyone I have missed.
Life is a bit busy. Three kids is pretty full on, but I think it has more to do with having a newborn again. They take more planning and time, where as we can just put the girls in the car and go without packing a million and one things. Luka has been great though, he has two 5 hour blocks between feeds last night. I am waiting for the maternal health nurse to visit, as I am hoping that is not too much at this age? It is easy to forget what the girls were like at this stage.
We had some pics done with Sam from BB on Sunday. She has sent a few through for us to have a look at and they are so cute. I have asked her permission to put them on facebook so you can all check them out. So will post them when and if its ok with her!
Saffi - It will fall into place when he's 100% ready! Wow up to solids already dear oh dear where has that 6 months gone?! Hope she enjoys her vegies!
Kaz - Thanks for your advise, I'll definately be telling her the milk is for the 'special baby', that might help her understand a little more. It is amazing how much they get out of what you say at this age, thats for sure! I can only imagine how busy life is with 3 littlies! It's great you've got such a good baby on your hands and you're able to get a bit of sleep at night, I'd think things would be a lot harder if you had a non sleeper!
Nothing to report here. Hope eveyone is happy and well.
Pish - having a settled baby this time around and a very supportive husband has been a godsend. I am really really lucky. Still amazed at how much you continue learning even third time around. I love it though, very happy and content right now!
