How exciting 1st Christmas all round.
Here's hoping that it's fun, exciting and sickness free(sounds like lots of stuff is going around).
Hi girls I will grab the first post and wish you all a Merry Christmas< i doubt I will get back on for a few days at least. Sorry about my abscense????Just really busy
Wow babies growing like weeds, teeth, moving,rolling around, just going way tooo fast Yes just one short year ago, and I was hoping that I was "up the duff" but trying to not get to get too into it after 3 MC's and 18 months trying, then to find early Jan that we were expecting again and the rollercoaster of a journey began....resulting in a gorgeous Poppy.
Nae, love to you and everything is crossed, may your TTC journey be a short and successful one.
To the rest of your lovelies, thanks for making this such a fun and supportive journey, I truly consider you my friends, goodness knows I talk more to you guys than my RLF, have a lovely holiday and keep safe..
I remember this time last year I had just been told I would have to go through IVF to get pregnant. Then in the middle of January found out I was actually pregnant (Molly was born 4 weeks early).
Well last night Molly had the biggest screaming fit. Nothing we could do would calm her down. I felt so bad. She seems happier today and I just put her to bed after she fell asleep on the floor.
I managed to go to the shops last night to get the last of our shopping for Christmas. We are going to SIL house so only have to take desserts and drinks.
hehe I feel kind of silly now gettinng so excited about Molly moving. Anyone with any ideas on how I can get her to go on her tummy more?
Donna don't feel silly for being excited about Molly on the go, it isexciting, I can't wait for Poppy to start rolling, laughing etc, but at the same time want it to slow down, cause you don't get those firsts again. Be excited hun!!!!!!! You can buy a mat for tummy time, it comes with a roll for them to lie on, Big W has them for under $20, have a look on ebay, often are listed there and you can see what they are about. Don't buy it there though, every one I have seen listed makes more than a new one????
Liberty is getting heaps chubby, little rolly polly with her cankles. So cute!! she's 5.65kg now little fatty put on over 400g in the last fortnight!! - since i started alternating bottlefeeds/booby
can't believe it about the pregnancy thread either, this time last year I was all mopey and depressed that my SIL was pregnant and after TTC most of the year I still wasn't. I didn't find out I was pregnant until late January (my periods were always all over the place so it wasn't strange for it to be late). It's amazing what can happen in a year.
donna i would be over the moon if liberty did that, you have every right to be excited! it's hard to get her to have tummy time now that she can roll from her tummy to her back. i haven't used a special mat, just brightly coloured quilts on the floor and i have toys that she can reach for (not that she's going to reach for them but its something for her to aim at and look for). if you do want to offer the extra support, you can roll up a small towel or terry nappy under their chest. another cute option is to lay back on the bed with bubby on your chest and let them push up to look around.
Wow a new thread for us and a new thread for sep next year. That's crazy. This time last year I didn't know i was pg, we hadn't been trying just dtd and bam! I found out on the early Jan after a head ct and an MRI. Wow I love thiking about when we found out. The excitement!
Well we had a nice time in Noosa, Em was an angel on the plane. she slept most of the way up and back.
We are looking forward to christmas, there seems to be so many presents under our tree. My birthday was nice to, I got a lovely locket off DH I have put a pic of Emily inside, I need one of him so I have them both with me all the time.
I have started Emily sleeping in her cot in her room during the day. She sleeps well in there. Not ready for her to go in at night tho. I like having her next to me.
I can't believe our bubs are enarly four months old...its crazy.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!! Thanks to everyone in this group, its so special to have you all to talk to. Have a safe and happy holiday!
