It really does, doesn't it! Pretty much everyone in my mum's group is trying again, and, pretty much everyone in mum's group is pregnant again! *sigh*
I just hate that noone is trying, yet falls pregnant. What have I done to deserve such difficulty!
Happy New Years everyone.........hope you all had wonderful xmas' and new years.
Trish - Congrats!!!! When is no2 due? Wow our first "next" baby :D
We are doing well here, A is getting cheekier everyday and starting to really test the boundaries - ahhhh the joys of a toddler lol but she is so much fun I really wish there was a pause button. We had some sleep issues for about a month, where at night she would not settle if I put her to bed she was just scream hysterically with me going in on and off for about an hour and in the end DH would have to go in but if DH did bedtime she would go down without so much of a peep in about 2mins. For 3 nights now I've succeeded with only last night me having to go back in and do a resettle so hopefully we are back on track........I hope so anyway coz DH is away for work for a week on Monday.
We have our orientation for childcare next tues and thurs for an hour each time then she starts the following week on Tuesdays & Thursdays full days. I'm getting a little nervous at the thought but think she will really benefit from it.
A has just cut her last eye tooth, now just to get the last lot of toddler molars out the way (not that I can see any movement) and then that should be it for teething until she is around 4 but what am I going to blame her snotty behaviour on now lol.
Hope everyone and their little ones is well
Hi Phoenix! A sounds like a typical, cheeky, lots-of-fun toddler!! ;) DS is the same - but soooooo much fun too! Let me know how A goes with daycare cos DS is booked to start two days a week at FDC soon! We will have a couple of playdates first and then a couple of shorter days before he does the full 8 hours. I am trying to only think of how good it will be for him and not feel guilty about sending him or how much I will miss him!
FWIW, DS will ONLY go down for naps and sleeps with DH when he's around. I was absolutely packing it when DH had to go away for a bit, but it wasn't an issue at all. If DH isn't around, he'll happily sleep for me, but if DH is home, it HAS to be DH to put him down! We had about two weeks of 30 seconds of grizzle before naps just before Christmas, but that's stopped now.
DS had his first plane trip - we've just come back from a week in Melbourne. He LOVED it and spent heaps of time before and after zooming around with his arms out making plane noises, lol! He also learned to say tram and train while we were there, seeing as he saw them every day!
Im due in August, around the 20th :)
we are also having issues with 'boundary testing' not good when I have morning sickness too!
hi all such a long time since i been in here just wanted to pop in and say hi and hope everyone is travelling along ok
all going along ok here in our household may is such a little character alot different to the rest of them she has a personality of her own and knows how to stand her ground and even trys to take on her older siblings lol.
i think we only have about 3 teeth left to cut thank goodness.
how are all your little ones sleeping? still in cot? or bed?
may sleeps ok she has never been the best sleeper but she is alot better now.
we do have the bed all set up in the girls room but havent yet moved her in there kinda waiting for the right time if that ever comes i think she is ready but not sure if we are yet lol
takecare and will try appear abit more often
Hi Caplaylolmay - great to hear your LO is doing to well, they certainly do have there little personalities now - I've got a fiesty one too lol
Well A has started childcare two days a week and think it was a lot harder on me that it was on her, the first day she never shed a tear until I went to pick her up and when she saw me she burst into tears but that only lasted a few seconds, day two was better and I got a big hello after she pulled herself away from the toys lol.
When I went to pick her up the first afternoon, I walked in to find her sitting snuggling on her carers lap, so was reassuring to know that they do get the cuddles and attention when they need it which helped with the mummy guilts but I still miss having her under my feet all the time.
We have all our eye teeth and now just waiting for the 2 year old molars then teething should be over YAY!! A is still in her cot I keep saying we will take the sides off but that will truly be the end of my little baby plus I like the fact I put her to bed and she stays there :D
Caplaylolmay - Good to hear from you! Yep, they are all showing their little personalities now, aren't they? So nice to see!
DS is still in his cot. Like Phoenix, I love the fact that when he's in, he's in - not looking forward to the time when he can get out of his own free will! We'll leave it as long as we can! He has all his teeth apart from those 2 yo molars, and no sign of those yet (thank goodness!)
DS was showing some interest in sitting on the toilet a little while ago, but that seems to have died again! I bought a step ladder thingy with a seat on it and it's all sitting next to the loo so that if the urge does take him, it'll be all ready to go! He just doesn't seem ready yet though...
DS had his first day at family daycare today. (Phoenix, thanks for your reassuring words :) Much appreciated). He went in fine, no tears at all. He just stayed til lunchtime and has come home for his nap. We'll see how he goes tomorrow having a nap there, but his carer is lovely and he's already said he wants to go back!
Phoenix - So glad A enjoyed her first week at care. It's lovely to hear she gets her snuggles there too - DS loves to be held and cuddled too.
Nice to hear from you ladies! Anyone else?
we are starting 1 day a week at day are too. I need the rest TBH!
no troubles teething here, but just starting on working on getting Miss E into her own room and bed/cot, as its never been used, as with bellyfruit on the way I want my rest!
hi guys
thought I would pop in and let you know Tiff has started a May babies 2010 closed group on FB if anyone wants to join us. It's a general catch up, chat and sharing of pics of our littlies......hope to see you all in there :D
not much to report here, A is settling into childcare. We had one day she was miserable and I had to go get her early but then she had diahrea (sp) that night so not sure if she just wasn't feeling off. I get the guilty tears on drop off and pick up but told and witnessed they only last about 20 secs and then she's fine the rest of the day.
we are talking about ttc#2 which might start in next month or two, I've still got to get my head around it before I agree lol
Hi ladies, I was just scrolling through the forum topics and saw this one pop up! I have a lovely DD born 1st May 2010, so thought I would just say hi:D.
Hi Lila! Tell me more about your DD! DS was born May 3.
Phoenix - So, any more news on #2 yet? How is your DD at daycare now?
Trish - How are you going getting DD into the cot?! How's the preg going?
AFM - DS is loving family daycare. We've never had any tears and most days I barely get a hug! His confidence is improving too, though he's still a clingy little thing and I do feel envious of all those other mummies who can actually do stuff while their LO's are around. If DS isn't there right next to me (and usually deciding half way through that he's had enough), then I can't do it. :roll eyes: So, everything has to wait until he's asleep. He won't go into another room unless he's holding one of our hands, and will race after us if we dare to leave the room (e.g. to check the veges on the stove or take the washing out of the dryer, both still within sight!).
He's home sick from daycare today, just a virus, but he's had a temp and isn't eating much. And even more clingy than usual :dance:
Still no progress on toilet training, a couple of new words, but they don't have the right beginning or ending sounds. He's starting to string a few 'words' together, so will say 'mumma, bubba (what he calls himself), eee-awww' which means Mummy and DS are on the see-saw etc
Hi to everyone else!
Hi Lila - welcome to our quiet little page :D I have a DD who will be 2 on the 22nd April, I hang out in here because this was my belly buddy group by my DD was a little impaitent
Jleigh - happy to here B has settled in daycare and that you are seeing improvements in his clingyness and confidence.
Wow can't believe my little girl is going to be 2 in just over a month, WHERE has the time gone!! Toilet training is hit and miss but I'm going to make a real effort this week since on the weekend she has to go to the toilet and actually did a wee. I have spoken with childcare and they have told me that once she gets through most of the day dry I can start sending her in just nickers :)
She has finally settled in childcare and there are no tears on drop off, today she actually wanted to walk the whole way from car and into her room by herself and I had to ask for a hug and a kiss goodbye because she was too interested in getting her sunscreen on so she could go outside lol.
Talking - she is a parrot and will copy EVERYTHING you say but in saying that she can say hippopotomus but has only just starting saying yes in the past two days, well Yeh lol.
I'm lucky she's pretty easy going and is happy to be left on her own, I can shower without worrying about her she will generally sit on her chair watching playschool or come into the bathroom and give me a running commentary holding my towel ready for me to get out. They are just so cute at this age.
This month we are starting TTC#2 and I'm in my TWW, I'm just taking the whatever happens approach as we have to travel interstate and overseas for 4 weddings this year starting next month.
no luck with the cot yet, she'll play in there but wont sleep.
bellyfruit all going well!
......
Wow, very quiet in here still.
Phoenix - Woo hoo on your BFP!!! It was your first month trying, right??! ;)
Trish - Is E sleeping in her cot yet?
AFM - DS has started saying a lot more words. In fact, there's rarely a quiet moment anymore, lol! Sooooo cute though. And he's putting words together too, which is exciting.
We're all geared up for Easter and have been making biscuits, pictures, play dough bunnies and eggs, coloured eggs, an easter bunny out of a plastic plate and napkins etc and easter baskets too! DS is at such a gorgeous age where he gets right into the spirit of stuff and he's VERY excited about the Easter Bunny coming and hiding some easter gifts for him while he's asleep tonight! Hope everyone else has a great Easter weekend.
Hi again ladies!
Thought I would pop back in and introduce myself properly and tell you all about my DD. I have read your latest posts and have found myself nodding my head as all the stories sound familiar!!
Our lovely DD was born 1st May 2010 (Phoenix76 she was actually due 22 April!!), so is almost 2. She has been a very cruisy, happy little baby so far.... but I can feel the terrible twos knocking on the door!
We have moved her from a cot into a toddler bed in the last couple of weeks, its so cute to see her see her climbing in and out and sleeping in her own little bed, she looks so grown up! Wake up time is so nice now, she used to just lay in bed and cry when she woke up but now she just gets herself out of bed and comes into our room and says 'found you'! So lovely!
We are thinking of toilet training after she turns 2, she is showing some signs of being ready for toilet training - talks about doing wees and will sit on the toilet, but hasnt quite got the idea of what to do on there just yet! Wouldnt it be nice if they were just born toilet trained? Save a lot of money on nappies!!
Well, thats us in a nutshell! We are trying for baby #2 this month so will keep you all posted!
