Amy - highchair issues are minimal now - have worked out that if I give Bailz a few mouthfuls of food on the way to the highchair he wants to get in it so he can eat the rest - 95% of the time this works a treat - the other few times, well we just persist and it hasn't been a big issue - WHEW!
Seems like since Bailz has started walking and his independence has improved the tantys etc have dramatically decreased - Yay for walking
Oh and Vic - I am STILL soooooooo excited for you, you have me clucky, I have been in Sean's ear about TTC today LOL
Am just about to head off weekend away but have an hour train journey to kill so thought would pop in and say hi, unfortunately can't look back easily on phone so apologies if miss people, also get a bit travel sick so will see how I go.
Thanks for all the inputs on walking, cj def getting better balance each day so hopefully not too far off, think she only holds my finger for confidence now. She has been less difficult and has more appetite so partly must have been stomach upset last week, which I got on Sunday night - boo!
Been reading everybodys status updates on fb, Lee have never had mice but think I would hate that, J I see Jamie been playing with spiders, I don't mind spiders myself
Prefer them to mice, but am yet to see any real big ones or dangerous ones in OZ.
yes, mice - they SUCK!! a packet of pasta we only bought this week - GONE. four traps set and the feisty little bugger is so full of pasta he won't go near them - is it wrong to hope he runs away and the pasta expands and he dies a horrible nasty death?? i usually abhor cruel thoughts, but if he hitched a ride from Boo town to the new house - well, i'm just not feeling very sympathetic!
hope you have a great weekend away!
feeling a bit meh at the moment. life has been somewhat ordinary with moving, terrible hayfever - and now the poppet has infection of some sort. seems to be viral throat infection - the fevers are not pleasant. the house is due to settle on Monday - all well and good - except for the fact that OUR bank are being painful and may not be ready for the money on Monday - sorry - but how can they NOT be ready to be paid out?? it's pretty simple! but until they're paid out and the money for overdue rates (oops), water (their idea to stop paying until settlement) and thing, it's gonna probably be another week before we see our share - and we have liabilities we HAVE to be pay by the end of the month and it's all hinging on that money coming in. it was all organised around settlement and stuff so i'm rather frustrated (there has been a lot more with stuff the buyer is doing to P me off, but this is the one that has me most upset)
anyway, on kidlet front - E is really not herself - fevers suck! hate seeing her like that - had to have today off work to be with her - thought i'd wasted my time this morning when she was a little clingy but ok - then lunch time hit and the same thing happened today as yesterday - she seemed to just crash and has looked stoned and been clingy ever since. poor princess
gptta go - she's asking me to play with her first birthday helium ballooon with her - it's still floating even now! she has a ball chasing it if we grab it from the ceiling for her lol. today, i'm happy to do anything to keep her happy today
I have also had the worst weekend. Friday had lots of fun stuff on (DD MG Christmas gathering, ABA meeting etc) and had to cancel it all because I felt like I had flu - think just very bad cold, managed to get DD to her 18 month check up and after that we just lay about all day, me counting down minutes till DH got home. Saturday I felt a bit better (MS is bad this time so is hard to tell what is what) but DD seemed to pick up cold which affected her chest , so she just wants to be cuddled and sleep and needs her nose wiped every two seconds. We had been to see doctor recently about her chest as sounded very chesty and he said wasn't an infection but gave us a script for AB's in case she developed tem, today was 39.5 and seemed to be getting more and more lethargic so gave her some AB's and this evening she has perked up slightly. I hope we are both better tomorrow - I really need to go to work.
The first tri sucks - I feel a bit duped by Mother Nature that I didn't remember how bad the First Tri can be. I never really thought about being pregnant for 9 months again and how I might feel for those months - just would have a baby in 9 months! DOH.
Our CC were cancelled the other week due to fraud and we are still waiting for replacements - so I am a bit behind with my KK, still might make posting deadline but if not will be in post by 3rd. Got very cross with WP as they messed up us getting the replacements big time. The CC's were the cards we used to withdraw from the ATM too so has been such a pain.
We have hip check on Friday - am worried about that - if CJ was walking think would be less so. Does anyone know what will happen about CJ's X-RAY as I am pregnant - will I have to wear something, or will I not be able to go in and hold her?
Nicky - hope you don't have any major issues with the flood
Naomi - Sorry you missed your weekend activities - our weekend has sucked too!
Bella - Are you in UK yet, will you be posting while over there? Have a great time enjoy the snow! - seems there is quite a bit of it at the moment.
Vic - Bailey's had 3 lots of hips xrays - I think they prefer you NOT to be in the room, but each hospital may have their own policy. They asked each time if there was any possibility I could be pregnant, and even though I obviously wasn't, I still had to wear this big apron thing which was really heavy - I think it had a lead protective layer in it or something. Perhaps ring ahead to check what will happen before you go, as if they wont let you in you might want to take someone else to hold CJ
Naomi - there really is no reason to think twins, none in family etc so fingers crossed the scan will show one, but we will cope if is two what is meant to be will be. My hcg was on high side when had tested but that is not a reliable indicator and I am showing already quite high up, and carrying high can be indicator, but mum carried high with all of us and was scanned suspecting twins and only one so the position does not indicate either. I had vague twin worries before DD but not so full on and my intuition has never been great so I think is prob nothing. (although my sister has good intuition and dreamt of boy girl twins for me in a dream earlier in year - if you stalk my new BellyBuddies thread 15th to 31st July I posted a chat transcript I had had with my sis about twins).
Gosh, I'm so busy at the moment! Kyson NEVER lets me on the computer during the day anymore so it really limits my time on here. It's like he has some kind of 6th sense that tells him when I go near the computer no matter how engrossed in an activity he seems to be, lol. Then he wants to sit on my lap and watch Thomas sing-a-long videos. He used to sit nice and quietly, but now he wants to touch everything, type on the keyboard and generally be a monkey on my lap.
Even now DH is waiting for me to do some music work with him on my computer so I'll have to leave persies for now and just give you all a quick update on me.
I'm now having fortnightly appointments with my Ob and little Apple Blossom is still doing really well. It's actually looking like she may not be quite as big as Kyson after all. At our 32 week appt on Wed her tummy was measuring about 33weeks, but the rest of her was measuring only a day ahead. So Ob thinks she might be chubby, but pretty average sized. I'm not fully convinced though because it was the last 4ish weeks that Kyson really started to grow quickly, so she may still do the same. She's still a real wriggler and mover! I thought Kyson was active in the womb, but it was nothing compared to this little one! So much for babies in the womb sleeping 95% of the time! I'm really not sure when she sleeps at all. I even wake in the middle of the night and she's still at it. She's also much stronger with her movements than Kyson was. Some of them are quite painful. This afternoon she was pushing a foot so hard against the side of my tummy that it was protruding a good 4-5 cm! I still love the movements though and know I'll miss them after she's born.
I'm having more and more problems with my pelvic instability, grrrr. DH has banned me from certain activities including any form of weeding/gardening, and I doubt he'll let me do the grocery shopping again. Once it starts to hurt, it then just gets really bad to the point that for the next couple of days I have trouble even walking. DH had to help me walk from the couch to the dining table one day because I just couldn't walk at all without help! Hopefully it goes back to normal fairly quickly after the birth... Other than that one minor complication, I'm doing really well
Kyson is just amazing me every single day! He is picking up new words like crazy and it's so lovely to be able to ask him simple questions and for him to be able to answer. Some of the words aren't exactly clear, and some sound very much like others, but it's amazing that he knows what he is saying and is able to communicate it to us. His new favorite book is an opposites book, and when we read it we tell him the word on the first page (like "near") and then point to the next page and he'll tell us the opposite (like "far"). He was even reading it to himself today, hehehe. I just can't believe how quickly he is growing. My baby boy is growing up so fast and while I love watching it happen, I also miss my "baby"!
I hope you are all doing well. I am still getting a chance to read all your posts, so apologies that I haven't gotten to persies in quite a while!
grr to the pelvic instability i had it too it must be those cheeky girls but i will tell u when jazz moved down it got a whole lot better but it didnt happen till right near the end lol when i was getting BH's so no fun at all hope it gets better for u xoxoxoxox
Hope the pelvic instability gets better soon Krystie. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to not be able to get around easily.
We had CJ's hip check today - all good, angle not perfect but within normal range so next check up 6 months. I am very relieved about that, but disappointed they didn't offer any suggestions about getting her walking - in fact the guy didn't seem very interested in her ability to walk or not full stop - and said that isn't considered delayed walking until 2 years!!! Now I don't know hardly any 18 month olds that are not walking! I can't wait 6 months! I asked him about shoes (like you did with Bailey Naomi) and he said he wouldn't but he was only interested in the hips and nothing else - the turned out ness of her feet and the way she roles in on her ankles may have nothing to do with the hips so I am trying to get her to see a childrens podiatrist recommended by the MCHN to see what they say - if they say is just a waiting game then I will accept it. But other people do comment on it so I don't think is entirely normal.
