hi everyone!
well as youknow I dont do xmas but if i did i would be looking for an outdoor play equip set for the little man (little tikes make some good ones) and/or a smart trike! wow you get your babies a lot i must say - i am sure little N will be whingeing in the yrs to come when he sees all the other kids getting all these presents!! LOL!
at what age do we think about beds? well what stage I guess??? i am thinking N will move sometime in the next 6 months, but guess he has to be walking? he also still wakes most nights a few times so keen to hear how you go Arte. Lucky boy with a king single. also do you use sleeping bags in a bed?
JG glas things have settled down. How many wks were you when you went on bedrest with Hamish? Hope that doesnt happen again honey.
Arte - yep i have told my PIL and BIL/SIL and also, of course, my Mum and also my 2 best friends. no one else will know (aside from you guys) til 12 wk scan is done. it doesnt make dealing w the nausea/tiredness easy when no one knows whats up. and i am so bloated i reckon a lot of ppl think i have been indulging a little too much! I hope it happens for you soon, i am sure it will. xxx
OK, I have a question for you Pregpan LOL. I know you don't do Christmas, and this is something I've always been curious about, but when do you get the 'big ticket' items for your children? (like swings and other stuff we would buy for Christmas) Do you make a huge thing of birthdays or do you just buy through the year kwim? It is hard in the early days when you know why you're feeling so poorly, but can't explain it to anyone else. Fingers crossed you will only have to wait till the magical 12wks till you're feeling better.
Arte, we always put the older ones into a bed when they were 2 (cause by then the baby had outgrown the bassinette and needed the cot LOL). No matter what age you put them in you will still have the initial issues of them getting out of it all the time. It's something you just have to deal with best you can till they get used to getting to bed and going to sleep without getting out of it again. We are getting bunks for the boys (cause their room isn't practical for two single beds) so it probably wont be till he's nearly 2 anyway.
Kate, just think pleasant thoughts when you see the house for the first time when you get back LMAO. I had to deal with the same thing when I went into labour with Lindsay and we'd only just finished moving all our stuff in 2 days before and the previous owners still had all their stuff to move out (but it was all pack ready to go) and I had to leave it up to him to do it while I was in hospital. Luckily he didn't do too bad and I was too tired to care LOL.
hmmm well some ppl compensate by buying presents for channuka instead - i do get N things (and other kids in the family) but I dont want to set it up like channuka = xmas as that isnt really right (usually smaller pres)... there are other times of the yr he will get stuff and his bday is a big deal (as i guess it is for everyone) but i guess i would just get it for him in the yr? not sure....
