Thinking about it too... but not sure what to do. Probably just a family get together, some sort of cake. And trying not to be sad that my precious, sweet boy is approaching 1 year old. :-/
I have had our local gymnastics club booked out for months Being winter its a great space where the kids be feral and wear themselves out without trashing my house. Bubble guppies theme here. Its gone by so fast. I get clucky when I see newborns. I can see how people want more than 1baby
definitely clucky too, vic. although I need some sleep before I seriously start planning for another. I loved the newborn phase, such a special, fascinating, overwhelming time. : )
tasha - I reckon if you ever decided to have another, you might surprise yourself. you've managed to come out the other side of a really rough start to motherhood & now you have your happy, gorgeous little girl to remind you of how awesome it can be. on the other hand, you might struggle again but at least you know you survived it once, you can do it again! if ever you wanted to of course... ; )
Thanks Andie At first I was 100% no. Then I am at the stage of probably not, but it's not completely ruled out. By the time I decide if I am ready to do it all again I will be too old! I just worry about PND and how will dd cope if I lose my mind again? So much to consider before going there again. But I would like a sibling for dd.
I can't remember how old you are, on my phone so can't see... but I think you have a few more years to figure things out..?! I've had a few people close to me with pnd, so can understand (to some extent) your concerns there. It can be quite scary. I don't want to trivialise things, but I'm sure you will figure it all out when/if the time comes. :-)
We'll be doing something low-key for Emily's birthday. I have a large family, so even just inviting her Aunts & Uncles and cousins it is a big crowd! I've already bought a few little things and put them away, and got one of those plastic cubby houses too (just one of the cheapies from B!g W). My Mum is getting her a Cabbage Patch doll - so I've been on the hunt for the perfect one! I want one with blonde hair and blue eyes, with a pretty face... but they are not so easy to come by here! Seen plenty online, but with the postage it ends up costing far too much.
No words yet, plenty of 'mah', 'bah', squealing & sing-song, quiet babble/talking. Eyes still the same colour, blue. I've heard they can change up till 2 years. No idea if this is true.
Sleep is still a bit of an issue here, but has a couple of good nights recently so hoping for a bit of an improvement. Eating is going well & I'll be surprised if he's not on the weight chart at our next mchn appt. ; )
I thought dd might have blue eyes as everyone on DH side has blue and we have brown. The GP said both parents have to be blue to produce blue eyes. Brown is dominant, but if you have a green/hazel on either side you could produce green/hazel.
Dd eyes were blue/slate kinda colour, but now they look to be turning green. It's different all the time! Still not much hair at all, but from what I can see it looks dark like mine.
my little ones eyes were slate coloured at the beginning too, I loved that dark, deep colour. so beautiful to look in to his eyes... I'm getting a bit clucky atm. visited a pregnant friend recently, which prompted me to start looking at my sons baby photos... he was so small! and snugly... and gorgeous. he is still snugly & gorgeous, but a lot bigger. ; )
tasha, might have to disagree with your gp. my brother (brown eyes) & SIL (blue) have 2 children, both with blue eyes. dh has blue & I'm brown, so far out little guy has blue. but that can change I guess.
I'm doing a Hello Kitty cake!
