haha! my hats are off to you milly! i only managed to upload one pic successfully on here hahaha! but i am technically unsound haha.
HPL: we just went to the MCN today! so Marta is 7.9kgs and 67cms with a boofy head of 45.5cm. her weight and length have really started to slow now...but the head is a force unto it's own
milly: i hear you with the stress of CC. it took M a good 3 weeks to settle in. we also were exclusively boob to sleep so i guess that probably didnt help. but in the end she was able to go to sleep without stress (and boob!) at CC...so there is hope! but the settling in is hard. i remember one staff member so nicely telling me that Marta was the loudest baby she had heard in a long time . great thanks, yep, loving to hear that lol.
eeewww on the hand licking! we sooo get that here too lol. and the face, and the cheeks and the neck hahahahaha!
our mothers day was ok. was cold and rainy and no DH but the upside was that a good friend of mine came by and we took the girls to the park (in the rain lol) and just had a lovely walk and then she stayed for dinner and DH came home and it ended up being a lovely night. Marta wanted to stay up and party for a bit so she did and then did a wonderful sleep from 8pm to 4am! i was shocked lol! she then had a quick boob and went to bed and then woke at 7pm oh my gosh i feel like a new woman lol!
so Cass, did you see the pic of our DD? I'm still not clever enough to upload any more LOL!
mothers day was a bit cold here too, but nice
So we were back at work & CC this week. Monday wasn't so good - DD had to go home early, as well as being unsettled, she had a bit of a temp. It turned out not to be anything (we went to the doctor), I think just teething.
But today wasn't too bad at all! Fingers crossed we might be getting somewhere!
Question - how much are your bubs eating? I mean if you put it all in a bowl, how much do you think it would be? DD doesn't seem to be eating much compared to other bubs, that's all.
i think those bubs that tend to do BLS dont eat great swathes ITMS. sometimes marta will eat loads and then other days she just decorates the floors.
that is awesome news that she had a bit of a better time of it at CC there's hope there's hope!! hopefully not too much longer and she will be right as rain!
AFM: well our big news is that Marta has a tooth!!! and the second one will be through i reckon in the next few days . man, the amber necklace has been amazing as she just hasnt really noticed. with DD1 we had rashes and bulbous red, inflamed gums etc. this time NADA! so cool!
i just saw your pic of your DD Milly....omg she is just divine!!!! what a cutie patootie!
(oh and kudos for getting it up in the gallery...i should really try to do it again as well...you have inspired me watch this space lol)

haha, yeah Marta has some good rolls on her hahaha! her standing and using the furniture to get around is doing my head in. like you guys, DD1 hadnt even started crawling yet...it's a different ball game when they start so young: i feel that emotionally she's not quite ready in that she doesnt have the concept of gravity etc down pat (whereas DD1 was all over it and alot more cautious when it came to her time to stand and walk etc).
marta had her first babycino today she loved it...the beast is unleashed lol.
I miss you guys! It's has been so hectic here of late I have had time to myself!!! I can't see the pics :-( I do see Marta on FB very cute but Mily I can't open it :-( but I'm not thatclever on the computer either lol well at least thisnew one anyway!!
A while ago u were talking about food - can't remember if I replied so I thought I would now - you know the ikea bowls?? That's what we use at home n at school so that what I mean by bowlfull
oh ih oh oh how could I have not mentioned!!!! Audrey has a tooth, she got it last night and we didn't even know it was coming she wasn't bothered at all n there was no bump just a bit grizzly at school then 6pm pop broke the skin!!!! AND no crawling, well she moves around just backwards everywhere but but but yesterday she moved forward to get a toy!!!! Yayayayayayaya!!!!
Cassus is Marta walking yet?? That would be amazinf if she were!!!! Tell me what's been happening ladies I'm a bit out of the loop!!! Also do your LO eat sandwiches yet!? I was suprised that Audrey can n does n seems to enjjoy them too!!
hi guys! phew, it has been awhile! i had been *trying* to step back from BB for a little bit...can be sooo addictive at times lol! but here i am
HPL: so is little Audrey crawling around yet? did she get her toy
she sounds like she is eating some really yummo stuff! we might just pop on by if that's ok lol. As for marta, well she pretty much eats whatever we are eating. but she really likes vegie soup for some reason. although i have to say that it is one messy meal as she *needs* to put her hands in it and swish it all around hahaha.
Milly: how is little bubba girl going at childcare these days? i that she has found her groove and has a few little friends to play with. it is so awesome once they are settled and you can really see them just flourish in that environment. new toys, new people and then it is soo so so so wonderful picking them up of an afternoon *mwah* all those cuddles.
AFM: we are all pretty awesome here. marta is really on the move and is destructo baby 101. she can surf along furniture now and even climb up onto things which is a bit scary. thankfully she isnt walking on her own yet...but it truly doesnt stop her. as i type she is climbing up onto the shelf of her change table and throwing all her MCNs and nighties on the ground . goodbye baby and hellllloooooooooo toddler hahahahahahahaha!
she is also in desperate need of a haircut. her hair is sooo long now that hairclips are struggling. i do put her in ponytails etc, but she really can't see when it is down
hope you are all awesome! i am so blown away by how fast these little people are growing. DH is already clucky and apparently is just waiting for my green light lol! what about you guys? y
buggar boo I posted a big long post and have lost it So in a nut shell I started hiding under my chair wondering if I was still welcome in this thread as I left it so long ago But after the lovely milly popped in to say hello to me I got wondering how you all are? Then I went on to say that ds is great and a happy little soul. We are still co-sleeping and I LOVE it, the cuddles and kisses in the morning are my fav thing ever! He's only just got his 4th tooth pop through today... very slow teether! But they haven't given him too much grief either and because we are still breastfeeding I'm kinda glad they have taken a while to come through too. He's walking and talking and in general is a really healthy little man who we love to bits!
How has everyone been... I havent gotten any alerts to say people had been posting sorry for not getting on here sooner!!!
So glad everyone's little bubbas are doing well!! Cherished Audrey still only has 2 teeth and im okay with that lol she does suffer when teething... hopeing she gets some more soon otherwise it will be a little alarming she only has 2....
Milly: I didn't get notification of your post - so HAPPY BLATE BIRTHDAY TO ALL OUR LITTLE ONES!!!! lol
Cass: Audrey was crawling by our last post - she started walking not long after actually in late July / Early August she was off and running....
How is everything else going with everyone?? Any signs of cluckyness yet??? I know I do ..... probably because I AM PREGNANT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! WWWOOOOOHHHHOOOOOO it's only early and very hush hush but I am and Im getting married next month on the 12th!! Super Excited!!!
Anyway thats my story lol....
What are your thoughts, if bubba is bottle fed, about throwing away the teat bottles?? audrey has 3 bottle a day barely even 150mls should i be thinking about taking them off her? or at least starting to wean - she'll take milk from sipper cups normal cubs straw cups anything.... I dont know.. give me our thoughts.
AFU: Marta is growing so super fast it isnt funny! her hair is now below her shoulders and i can do pigtails and plaits with ease hahahaha.
She is on the verge of walking (ie can take about 10 steps and then falls down on her bum...which she gets quite cross about!).
We also have realised that she is a bit of a climber, when, the other day she pulled out the drawers in the kitchen and attempted to climb up onto the bench!!!! far out, i almost had a coronary when i found her halfway up!!
I LOVE watching my girls play together and have loads of fun with eachother. it is just so gorgeous
Milly: seriously, i cannot believe that these guys are all of a sudden toddlers and not wee little babies anymore! it all happened so fast! i remember when they arrived so well, that i just can't believe we are out of little baby stage...
Cherished: we had a rush of teeth a few months back but that seems to have stopped at 6 teeth...but like you we didnt have any issues with them (thankfully!). i hope that it has to do with her teething necklace lol.
*mwah* on cuddles and kisses in the morning . Marta now sleeps in with Leila and that works pretty well. that said, at her first little snuffle or grumble i am running in there and bringing her back into our bed as i miss her being in with us lol! she usually does this around 5am so in a way we kinda get to wake up next to her a couple of hours later and i just love it ....although Marta is more into wrestling and pillow fights when she wakes up
HPL: My DD drinks straight from a cup now. so i reckon if you stick with sippy cups or straws for her milk it should be AOK....so much easier to wash as well!
AND...
CONGRATULATIONS on the NEW bundle of love growing in your belly!!!!
ohh yeah the cluckiness is really in full boot now lol!!! that said, i will wait for when we get back from the US before we really think about baby #3....omg, 3 kids lol!
(oh yeah, we are moving OS for a year ...first LA and then Pisa/florence). so excited. so scared. so excited hahahaha!
I have missed you all - it's good to "see" everyone again! I know, we all get busy (me included), but it was lovely to read all your posts.
Cherished - you are always welcome here!!!
Glad to hear your little man is doing well. And walking - obviously his feet are now fine, which is great.
Last time we heard from you Cherished, you were having a bit of a rough time, I hope things are much better for you now, it sounds like things are going well anyway. Oh, and I have still been trying to loose weight too - hopefully you are better at it than I am!!
HPL - CONGRATS!!!!! VERY EXCITING!!!! How far along are you - when are you due? Pg for your wedding - how exciting!
Cass - pig tails and OS - my lots have happend!!!! When do you leave for OS??
So, as for us ... mixed in with answers to your questions...
Teeth - we have six. Four of which came through in the space of 3 days :OMG: Like you Cass, we had a bit of a run, and then nothing. DD doesn't do so good with teething, always seems to end up with an ear infection with every tooth - both ears when the four came through together.
Hair - still pretty thin, no pigtails here!
No walking yet, she only began crawling at 11 & 1/2 months - mainly because of having been in the harness. But she is now pulling herself up, and taking a few steps if I hold her hands, but like Marta is a bit of a climber and a daredevil. She climbs on to the rocker and then kneels on the top of it and bounces and rides it like a bucking bull! She has also tried to climb out of the bath on her own too.
Sleeping - well that still is our biggest challenge - little miss has been pretty much "boobed to sleep" which has been REALLY hard to break. Of course she goes to sleep for day care, just not for mum. THen just when she does my head in after having a day of not napping, the next day she will put herself to sleep. :shakes head: I swear she is just doing it to let me know who is in charge! She sleeps fairly well most nights, though she is in our bed a couple of nights a week from about 3 or 4 am. I don't get a good nights sleep with her in the bed with us, so it's really only for those nights when she is either sick or mummy's eyes are hanging out of her head!
And sick - well, BOY have we had those - HPL - is that a normal daycare thing - on average, she would have had an illness every six weeks I reckon. Her most significant illnesses have been slapped-cheek virus, hand-foot-mouth and tonsilitis as well as 4 ear infections and a copule of colds. I didn't think she would get this sick still being breast feed (yep us too cherished) but I am told "DayCare" is a hive of kiddie illnesses, and that she will supposedly be much better now that she is one (and that she shouldn't get all those sicknesses at school because she would already have been exposed to them), well, here's hoping.....
Milk - well, she was down to about 3 or 4 BF a day, which went up to about 8 when she was last sick (because she wouldn't eat), but we have now dropped back to 2 BF per day now. SHe has milk in a bottle, but likes her water in a cup. It has been a challenge to get her to take even EBM from any vessel other than the "true source" so now that she is finally taking it from a bottle, I won't be chucking ours in the near future HPL!
So I too have some news, and I am SOOO pleased to be able to tell you girls first; this is my first post about it....
I too got a BFP!!! (HPL - I hope you don't mind me sharing your joy!)
I only got my BFP on Tuesday night - I almost posted but then chickened out, cos I really wanted to tell you girls, as you have been my rocks - right through my journey of TTC, m/c, pg, and then with babe.
Anyway, I'm 5 weeks today, so still only early days (I haven't even vomited yet so that's how early it is LOL!).
Well, that's all from us.
Lovely to talk to you all again. XXX
Milly!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!!! That is amazingly great news!!!! I too am only early, about 6wk n 3days lol
Can't remeber if I have a ticker yet.... I ventures into PAML as I was quite nervous but am now quietly excited!!! yay
I'm due on the 14 Jun 12.......
Day care kids get really sick.... As I type this I am in hospital waiting for Audrey to have surgery :-( just grommets but since she was 6mths old she has had 8 perferated ear drums 3 cases of tonsilitis ;-( so surgery was our only option.... BUT once they are a bit older they will
Immune to so much and won't get as sick... First year in child carr is the worst....
So excited we are going to have more bubbas!!! Yay
. great thanks, yep, loving to hear that lol.
but the upside was that a good friend of mine came by and we took the girls to the park (in the rain lol) and just had a lovely walk and then she stayed for dinner and DH came home and it ended up being a lovely night. Marta wanted to stay up and party for a bit so she did and then did a wonderful sleep from 8pm to 4am! i was shocked lol! she then had a quick boob and went to bed and then woke at 7pm 
oh my gosh i feel like a new woman lol!
