Babies Born~June 1st-15th 2009 #1

Hi Girls

Joey and Jen, The changes are new. Apparently aesthetics will be changed so it shouldn't always be white.

Great to hear all these little ones are growing and learning so much!!

Leah is still petite. She has only just outgrown 00 wondersuits. She is pulling up on furniture, and will take a few steps while holding onto it but not much. She has 2 teeth but eats well anyway. We are still BFing lots. She takes a little bit often as a drink. Im expressing like a cow at the moment to make sure there is enough in the freezer for DH to give her while I am on holidays.

And the best news at our house is, 3 sleeps until DH gets home!!

That's so nice that Leah is still little. My big (beautiful) boof is in size 0's and 1's! How long are you going away for? That will be hard. Yay that DH gets home soon. I can't cope more that a couple of days with out mine. Where has he been and for how long?

He has been away since the end of January. I am going to the BB meetup on the Gold Coast for the June long weekend. I can't wait!!

Morning lovely ladies and babies!

Great to hear about all these bubs and how they are all travelling. Natalya, like a few others, loves to walk around the furniture and loves to push one of the kiddies chairs around the house - thats her substitute walker!:lol: Tries to do quite a bit of climbing too but nothing like what my DS was at the same age. I think we are still at least another month away from walking.

Natalya has 8 teeth, 4 top and 4 bottom, which caused us a bit of grief and subsequently we have gone backwards in our night-time sleeping, waking once to twice a night.:rolleyes: When DH isnt here it kills me! She has become a real little character tho, always in cahoots with her big brother. My eldest DD still wont leave her alone either. Its been lovely watching the 3 of them develop as siblings, they have become quite a tight little unit.

Alioops- Enjoy your BB getaway...I recently went away for 4 days with a couple of girlfriends, first time since having DD 6 years ago and it was a godsend!

Infinity - hope that you start to feel better soon. Nothing worse then being pegnant and sick at the same time.

Joey - Lily sounds like she is going great guns with her talking and walking...such a cute stage. Natalya is also in size 0's and some 1's depending on the make.

Jenushka - Hope you also start to feel better soon. I love it when Natalya says mama too!!

Well we are busily planning a big joint birthday party for Natalya and DS - they are only a weeks difference so that will be fun over the coming years!:rolleyes: We are also heading off to Europe for 6 weeks the day after N turns 1 so am hanging for that! Heading to London for a few days then Croatia for 4 weeks and Dubai for a few days on the return leg. We took the eldest two in 2007 and they loved it, in fact they have become quite frequent flyers with the amount of holidays we seem to take:lol: so they should be fine...a bit unsure how N will be...I was hoping that she would be walking by then so am crossing my fingers that she gets her act together in the next few weeks!

Ali - OMG! How do you survive??

Ang - That's so beautiful that the 3 of them are getting along. I can't wait until we have that. My DD is 11 and she is more like a second mother, they play together, but not like siblings of a similar age would. Wow!! What a great holiday you have planned. Have a fantastic time!

joey - I reckon feed her as long as she will keep eating - all too soon the fussy toddler stage will be upon us and you may not be able to give her much of anything!! Sounds like she is still going great guns, what a little champ :) And you're so lucky that the daycare is so close, my kiddies go 2 days (my mum has them for the other day) also but do pretty big days, normally about 7.15am until 5.30pm. They're pretty tired by the time we get home (as am I ;) And also will send some "come back AF" vibes out for you!

ali - yaaaaaaaay for DH coming home in 3 days! Bet you thought this day would never get here. Lila is quite petite also but is very long, so has been in size 0 for a little while but mainly so crotch fasteners will do up and long sleeves will go all the way to her wrist. They're still a little baggy on her otherwise.

ang - you're trip sounds amazing!! Take me with you!!! I bet you'll have an amazing time. And the little pic of N is absolutely gorgeous too :)

Work is going well, the 3 days is still a good balance and now it's become much busier I am definitely enjoying it a lot more. DH has also just got a job back in his industry and starts in a couple of weeks. Great news as it means a $10k a year pay rise and he can say goodbye to the crappy job he was doing to keep the bucks coming in. Super stoked :):)

had a lovely mother's day too. Nice quiet day at home and went for a big walk in the park to feed the ducks which was great as the weather was so fab. Hope you all had nice mothers days too and got spoilt rotten :)

xx

Thanks Jenushka for your AF vibes - no good yet though.

Sorry in advance for TMI - my CM has really increased over the last couple of weeks. So much so that I am wearing a liner most days - white & creamy. Does this mean my body is getting ready for AF to return? Did anyone else have this before their first AF?

Hope everyone is well and coping with the fact that our little bundles of joy are turning one this week :(

Happy first birthday to all out beautiful babies!! Im so sad that the baby stage is ending :( I haven't bought her present yet but I don't know what to get her. Might see what I can get while I am on the Gold Coast.

Happy 1st birthday bubbas!!!!!!

Lila had a wonderful birthday last Friday, got tonnes of pressies (despite my best intentions I just couldn't help myself) and had a lovely party too on Saturday - she especially enjoyed the cake, both eating it and wearing it!

I'm just loving this age - she's chatting away a mile a minute and now says and pretty much understands "Ta" - and if it's something she doesn't want to give up she'll briefly wave it in my direction but maintain a firm grip on it! Still only very close to walking which is fine, and still holding onto 2 sleeps per day - she's experimented a few times with having one big sleep but doesn't seem ready to give up the 2nd just yet. More than happy to follow her lead:) Eating well still but the constant daycare bugs do seem to affect her appetite so just going with the flow on that too. 5 teeth now, with the 6th on the way and it does seem to be bothering her, poor munchkin.

Better dash (baby on the loose) but just wanted to pop in and wish all the bubs a very happy 1st birthday - hope they all have/had wonderful days. And congrats to all the mummies too!!

Well I'm frazzled, but just wanted to say Happy Birthday to all the gorgeous babes. Lily had a great party on Saturday and I think she is still trying to catch up on sleep. Had her 12 month needles today and only cried on the second one for about 2 seconds. WOW!! But she went down ealy at 6pm and then woke up at 6.30pm and I had to feed her back to sleep, so it may be a restless night.

AF has returned YAY!! The day before Lily's birthday!! So, I haven't told DH yet, cause he doesn't like 'having to perform on cue', but hopefully I'll be UTD soon!!

Did my first 10km run/race on Sunday. Never run 10km before, but managed to complete the whole thing without stopping, in just over 51mins, so I am very stoked with that - so I am getting very fit, but my belly is the only thing that hasn't gone - I swear I still look 6 mths preg (when I don't try and suck it in)!!

Take care all and let's enjoy the new journey of toddler-hood. :)

Hi all

Just popping in to let you know our amazing news....our tiny little bubba decided to arrive a weee bit early. You can read the BA HERE

I will try and pop back in later when I can.

We're keeping it quiet on FB too for a while.

Laura

Oh my!! Wow - congratulations Infinity on the early arrival of your little pink bundle. And what a beautiful name she has too :)

Sitting here just so surprised that your bub is here already - bet that's only a smidgen on what you and your DP must be feeling! A huge mixed bag of emotions I'd say.

Wishing you a swift recovery, and hoping that time flies and that before you know it bub is discharged from hospital and at home with you all :)

Sending big hugs through the computer screen, and thinking of you and your brand new family of 4 xxxx

P.S. And of course, can't wait to see photos of your little princess in due course :)

I wish I had checked this earlier. I have goose bumps. Yay for your VBAC. I am so proud of you. I hope I can do the same one day soon!!

YAY YOU!!!!


Back soon everyone else.
