Sherie - nice work on the Gymboree splurge. I got the 30% off and gymbucks as well. Waiting on my package to turn up any day now.
Also heard a great tip about vicks for bubs. Rub it into their FEET. Dunno how this works but mums have sworn by it. Worth a shot anyway.
Cinta - Not too much m/s here. I had mild nausea when bending over and when cooking meat but other than that I was pretty good. Now heartburn, that is a different story. That killed me, ended up spending the last few months of the pregnancy sleeping on the recliner in the lounge room for a bit of relief. As for b'day pressies, I haven't stopped. I've got her so much stuff that I've got to remember where I hid it all. Going to have to tell DH that some of it came from friends hehehe.
Sarah has only just started crawling in the last few weeks and no distinguishable words at all. I think she may be saying mumma when in her cot. It sounds like she is calling for me, I can't wait until she gets more words out.
Pregpan - NO, REALLY...you're going to Bali...I didn't know that!
Have a blast! When my sister went a few years back she wishes that she had taken more AUD$2 coins with her. Balinese melt them down for their jewellery so happily sell things to you for a $2 coin. Don't know if they still do that but maybe worth a shot... Good work on the herbalist today as well, now take care of the stress and relax for Bali....thats right Bali...apparently, you're going this weekend...?!
Rain - Yeah for Lewis . Fingers crossed its a sign of things to come. I hear you on the waking up thing tho. The occasional nights that S sleeps thru I still wake up waiting for her. And because she is in our room with us, I actually listen for any of her noises to put my mind at ease that everything is ok.
I brought S a gorgeous shirt from Best and Less the other day, it sort of fits in with her cupcake themed thing. But it may end up coming down to how the day looks before making the final decision.
Rainy- WTG Lewis... Lets hope he does it tonight....
Art- I got Liv a smart trike and I am picking it up on thursday... I want to give liv her pressies too. Oh Liv's hair was so cute this arvo I put it in a ponytail...
Kate- the shirt sounds so cute...
M/S- I had a wonderful pg with the boys with no m/s but with Liv I was sick everyday it was terrible.
Rainy, that's awesome L! WTG - keep up the good sleeping so mummy can learn to sleep again too! LOL BTW saw your gorgeous boy with his fake parents in my letterbox yesterday .
Re the talking, at this age look for them starting to recognise words and don't worry too much about whether they're saying them yet, some kids don't get single, consistent words for another couple of months. They often change the word they are using several times before arriving at one that sticks. They also tend to use one word for several things, ie the word for dog is used for any and every animal LOL. I've got a list of words that they tend to recognise first so I'll post that if anyone is interested.
hmm, i was just wondering if there was any other treatments for severe morning sickness other than obdansatron and maxalon...
Ohh, pls for the list if you get time. My littly is saying mama for nearly everything, she started saying dada or dad for the obvious, but when he began working 60 hours a week, she didnt see him so much and she doesnt call him anymore kinda put a dent on him unfortunately, but now she's calling him "DE" ?...meh, she's talking quite a bit now which is great, i can't wait til she gets walking down pat..i just think she'll be clinging to my leg a lot more haha.
OMG, there's a poor fella in portugual who has a tumour on his face, it's massive, he can barely see, eat or breathe!!! poor thing just to be random...
Is that smart trike on with the handle so parents can push? and seat belt etc?
I found a ticker place! thanks for the help.
oh, anyone have any ideas for party games? I can't think of that many, just ones like pin the tail on the donkey, face painting, balloon games, ...?:S for kids raning 1-4...
Hi ladies, I'm behind as usual, sorry!! Hope you are all well.
Pregpan - Enjoy Bali, talk about jealous!
Cinta - Welcome!! I had terrible ms till 14/15 weeks when it finally dropped off. I remember thinking at the time I'd never have another child lol. My almost 11 mth old says mum, dad, bub & nan. I'm pretty sure a few words like that are the norm at this age.
Leemar - Cant believe Olivia is one in a few days!!
Kate - I've also been told the rubbing vicks into babies feet and have tried it a few times too. Didnt notice much of a difference but M was pretty sick so I dont know if the vicks on her chest even helped!
Rainy - WOO HOO I am SO jealous!!!
Hi Andie!
Trillian - Hope all your babies are better soon!
MD - HI!
Arte - Yes M's birth was horrible for me. That sounds really sad to say as well iykwim, but it was just so painful. I'd do it all over again though of course.
Cinta - We posted at the same time. Just out of curiosity, how did you come up with the name Chessa? Its so original and I love it!
So I picked M up from daycare this arvo, & right away I could tell something was up as she just had a blank look, when normally she smiles and flaps her arms about in excitement. Popped her in the car, started driving and heard a funny sound, looked in the mirror and the poor thing was power chucking all over the joint. I had to pull over, she was so upset. So she continued vomiting all the way home. She's in bed now, keep checking her & she is fine, but I guess she must have a tummy bug poor bub. As for the car seat, my god. We pulled it apart to wash, I put it on delicate cycle. Well I just went to hang it out and it hasnt cleaned it at all so its now on heavy cycle. Hope it doesnt wreck the shape or anything. Wonder how we are gonna get it back on the seat lol!!!
Poor thing! I hope she feels better soon! poor car seat i say...all that puke...hehe, that reminds me of when Chessa had the runs...and alot of them!! went in her nappy and next moment it was all up her back and through the car seat, it wasn't a pretty site...
From the name Francesca, i really like that name but couldn't be stuck with it all the time sorta thing....i dunno....just sorta fell upon Chessa....I like the Jenna Chessa sorta names i guess...
thank you for the compliment
Holiday was great. Although Lu had a nasty virus and got a bit of excema, nothing a bit of QV 3 times a day couldnt fix though.
I picked up a large cow wheely bug from the hawthorn baby and kids market. $20, what a bargain! Lu loves it. Chews on the horns and pushes it round all over the place. A friend has a small and when her 2 year old comes here, she wishes she had the large as she is growing out of the small quickly.
Arte- i pm'd you before i read that you bought some itti's. I love my itti's, hope they work for you! If i can be of anymore help let me know.
Thanks for thinking of me MM!
Happy belated birthday to Oliva, Logan and Hannah! And happy birthday to Leila.
Lu has taken a few steps but not what i wold call walking. When she walks around behind her trolley her right leg is turned out, probably nothing but going to get a hip x-ray just to make sure. Anyone else got a gammy legged baby???? lol
ummm so much to say and so little time. Bit tired tonight. Will try and read more tomorrow.
I can't believe my little man is one, it goes to quickly. OMG I can't believe that this time a year ago I was laying in a hospital bed vomiting in a little bag with poo water running down my legs, ahh the memories LMAO. Might be time for another soon lol.
Will try and jump on later to catch up (I know I keep saying that lol)
