Oh i hear ya on the tired thing. DS has never slept through in all his life lmao, we still do at least 2 wake ups most nights its 3 though! I keep telling myself he wont do it forever......right?!
Bun, I'm in Ballajura and hopefully soon to be moving, we just have to get our act together and stop procrastinating about whether to buy or build
Lenny, oh no chicken pox would have been awful!
I'm hearing you all on the tiredness. DS who will be 3 in May still wakes up during the night. Usually he just crawls into our bed. But at the moment he is going through a monster stage so is getting scared of monsters in the dark! DD has 2 feeds a night most nights but she is a real wriggler and just rolls around the bed between me and DH, throws her arms and legs around. Some days I hold out on her morning nap so she and DS will have a nap together after lunch which allows me to have a nanna nap too!
DD is 15 months today and still no AF. It's great in some ways but in others I just want to know what my body is doing!
helle - haven't seen you in here for a while, but i see you are expecting bundle number three!! Congratulations
Are others of getting asked when you are having number 2,3 or whatever? Gosh, If i had a dollar for everyone who has asked when we are having number three, i'd be rich! And why do people assume we 'need' to try for a girl?? I love my boys, and i couldn't care two hoots that I don't have a daughter. Some people have no idea how precious children are, no matter how many you have or what gender they are! They aren't just a numbers game; there to satisfy other peoples expectations.
Yes Lenny! I'm constantly getting asked if we are going to go for number 3. It's getting tiring now as it feels like that's the only thing people want to talk to me about!
I get asked if we are going to try for a boy, the funniest part is we say "why would we", both girls LOVE motorbikes, cars and adrenaline things aswell as dressing up in girly clothes, camping, fishing, barbies, playing in mud.. we have the perfect balance right as it is now
No more babies for this little black duck...I think 7 is enough especially as a single mumma!
My little man stood on his own twice today for the first time...I was so excited
He looks so cute doing it as he is only 6kg and he looks way to small to be standing!
He is so quick crawling and gets up to all sorts of mischeif following his sisters around
They grow so quick...I can't believe my wee man is nearly 15 mths
Not a lot of talking...just mumma, dadada, nanan, bubub
We havent been asked alot if we are going to have more. Hope to in a few years though after i have finished studying. We do always get "why would you want more you have one of each" that peeves me off but anyways people always like to add in there 2 cents
Hi everyone,
I don't come on BB that often any more. Great to see our 15 month olds are going great guns!
We are quite happy with 2 kids. I do sometimes think it would be nice to have a boy in the mix but that is really only a fleeting thought. 2 kids are plenty for us
AF returned on the weekend. Can't complain though seeing as I only had 1 AF in between DD1 and conceiving DD2. BF ended just after DD2 turned 1. Very happy to have made 12 months of feeding too.
She wakes most nights and we get lazy and just throw her into bed with us. No walking yet but, she has been standing very steadily for a couple of months. I think there is that initial scardness of putting one foot in front of the other.
Thats all from us. Now I am on the fitness bandwagon to finally get rid of this weight!
Hi everyone, it's been very quiet in here, how is everyone going?
We took Z for her 18mth MCHN appt last week so she's now: 9.23kg and 80cm tall, so she's on the skinny side but average for height - the MCHN puts that down to the fact that she's so active.
She's so funny now, she tries to copy everything that A does and follows her everywhere. the MCHN commented on the fact she's a 2yr old wanna be.
She is ahead for her speech, closer to 2+ and is already forming 3-5word sentences - the funniest part was the MCHN walked in while A & Z were having a conversation about the library.
A: it's not library day Zara
Z: I want to go to Library
MCHN looked at me and said was that A or Z, i said Z and she started laughing.
She wants to copy A on the potty so every now and then when she takes her nappy off she screams POTTY and wont get off it, she wont wee on it but atleast she's not scared right... no pressure she's still quite young.
so whats news for everyone else, how are the LO's going?
How are they all going with food, Z loves her veggies but at times can be quite fussy with other foods, she's enjoying helping me 'cook' and lovesn rolling out our home made pizza dough
18months - eek. Time flies. A is still a very senstive soul and loves a good cry. He was hit badly with a cold (but no ear infection YAY!) and couldn't bf which was weird. i felt a bit useless because i couldn't make him feel better. He was awake a lot at night, but he's coming right now. Phew!
He is allowed his little push trike in the house because the weather outside is yuck. He's awesome on it - the two boys race up and down the hall like crazies. The door at one end is ruined from them crashing into it, but at least it helps my sanity a bit.
I am amazed at his speech. Just because DS1 didn't talk at all, so hearing words from an 18 mth old seems so cool to me. He's just saying one word at a time although he does have a two word 'sentence' - he points to DH's beer can and says 'daddy bottle' LOL. His favourite word is NAH.
He eats like there's a famine coming and he's happy to eat most things except mashed potato and weetbix - actually, anything mushy. I guess that's the difference with DS1 being spoonfed as a bub and doing BLS with DS2.
He still wakes up at about 5.45 and then has a morning nap and an afternoon nap. Yay for me!
Been tandem feeding for 18 months thats the most exciting thing!!
DS2 says "mum, bye bye, dada"
He still prefers to bum shuffle but has been walking for 2 weeks but doesnt do it all the time.
He attacks DS1 a lot and annoys him buy grabbing at his clothes and stealing toys!!!
He still will not sleep in cot at all! Co sleeps everynight (will fall asleep feeding and I can sometimes slide him onto couch and will then wake around 2330 or 2400 when I will then take him to bed, Day sleeps only happen in car,in pram or on my knee post feed!!!)
Usual stuff happening here. DD is so cuddly and cute but is driving me insane by climbing on everything. I spend every 5 minutes removing her from the kitchen table, top of the couch, tv unit...anything...I suppose I could just lock away all my furniture but meh! LOL...We are still feeding and she has only really just stopped her middle of the night feed, so we're at about 3 a day. She's so cheeky and when she wants it she will grab my hand, lead me over to my rocking chair, pat the seat and say "doo-dor" which is her word for boobie. DS is almost toilet trained (never thought I would see the day). Both of them have colds AGAIN at the moment. Can't wait for Winter to be over. Been feeling really meh alot lately, unmotivated, just getting through each day trying not to be grumpy :/ Trying times.
Ladies it's been too long
How is everyone going, how are all the LO's?
Were good here, Z is talking HEAPS - 5-6 word sentences, counting to 10.
She really loves the motorbikes and yells "more donuts" when we go into the paddock.
Not much to report really, she has most of her teeth but i have a feeling 2yr old molars are moving around, we have tantrum central at the moment too.
She loves the library, books and just being with us and is still BFing.
Ok so who is still around, how are all the LO's going?
Miss Z is 2 on Friday and we can't wait, she's getting a little clothesline and maybe a fishing rod from us (weird for a 2yr old right) and some DVD's from Miss A (she picked them herself).
I couldn't find a kids clothesline ANYWHERE and the toy shop had sold out so i went to Aussie Disposals and bought a camp clothesline that adjusts in height, she's going to love it.
DP wants me to look into maybe putting her in daycare on the mornings that DD1 goes to kinder but i'm not sure, i wouldn't mind actually just having some mummy and Z time, we never really get that as DD1 has always been around IYKWIM.
What is your little 2yo eating, DD will eat all day long, have a huge breakfast plenty of fruit etc ut is becoming a gigantic PITA to feed at dinner time, she copies her sister and if DD1 cracks it and wont eat then DD2 just does the same
We have her MCHN appt next week which i am looking forward too, she's sooooo active i don't think she will have put on much weight but it will be interesting to see.
She's doing so well with her speach and vocab that she amazes me, she will come out with massive sentences, sing songs and can count to 12 on her own, she's trying to copy DD1 with writing but it's not going as well as she seems to think it is.
She has a lot of nappy off time and has used the potty a couple of times so we are lookinh at TTing now the weather is warmer and seeing how she goes.
DS2 Birthday is in 8 days!!! He snacks and eats well then but at meal times its hit and miss dinner being the worst.
Doesn't eat vegies unless hidden in spag bol or slow cooker meals. Vegimite sandwiches and strawberries and cheese are his favs!
Speech he says a bit, more than DS1 did at his age but n where near what your Z is saying.
He is interested in the toilet and takes nappy off and says wee after he has wee'd, but will not sit on toilet and do anything (DS1 still not TT, grrr)
We have MCHN appts for both boys in just over 2 weeks time.
Oh feeb he sounds like DD at meal times, i'm lucky that if she's interested in dinner she will actually straight up eat veggies off the plate (sometimes the first thing to go) but lately it's actually getting her to eat a substantial amount of anything at dinner time that is hard...
Oh and congrats on the tandem feeding, still going strong hun?
We stopped a while back now, i was upset about it but it's worked well for us now.
It's all so exciting isn't it, i can't believe they are nearly 2.. it's gone so so quickly.
Is anyone else PG, TTC etc.. i know we have some siblings around but anyone else trying to hiding a bundle? No more for us here.
