Babies born~May 16th-31st 2009 #6

Hey Everyone,

Naomi I wouldn't be to worried. I have hear alot of people say that their baby has done that with people of a different race. Make sure when you see someone who is colored next time you stay supper relaxed keep him with you and react in a really positive manner to them. He will get the idea that u think it is fun. If there arn't many opportunities for that then find pictures on the net and let him look from the safety of your arms. Thanks btw for the info about seaworld.

I reckon our babies will be fine. J is clingy atm but on in respect to how she normally is which is still very relaxed. She will go to anyone. We left her for 4 hrs with my SIL who she had barely met the other day and she just reached out her arms and went to her and then was fine all afternoon. Which is reassuring for those times we need to be away from her.

I must go I am feeling a little queesy..... I dreamt I was pregnant last night....... not that it is possible. We barely ever have sex! Probably just had something bad to eat

Anyway I am off before I throw

Naomi - I had a board book from the library called babies of the world - I got it because CJ loves looking at babies, and in it has babies from all different countries and colours - perhaps something like that would also help. We have some friends in Spain and their daughter when she was younger didn't like Ryan at all because he is reasonably fair and she wasn't used to fair skinned/haired people. My cousin used to cry if she saw a tall man because her dad was short.

Bella - I have also dreamt pregnant recently - with twins!, in fact I think I have now done three pregnancy tests since having CJ as have felt sick too a couple of times - I am on the mini-pill and breastfeeding so is really unlikely - I need to get over that expensive habit!!

My friend is stressing ofcourse. She is probably thinking she will have a miscarriage or worry like hell til the nt scan. (all the dr told her she can do really). Some people in the pregnancy forum have been really positive and told good stories of healthy babies from high betas..so you never know. I am so glad I am not in her situation. I am giving her support as she's not really comfortable talking about it on here.

Looking forward to Seaworld tomorrow..a little concerned about the rain around though.

All you women dreaming about it and wondering if you're pregnant hehe. One thing I don't have to worry about. You need a man involved for that to happen hehe. Me and Alby are gettin along well now....he sees the girls on weekends. He is a lovely guy, just not marriage material...acts way too much like a single bloke and does stupid irresponsible things. We broke up about 3 times a year when we were together...it was inevitable. It is tough some days being a single Mum to 4, but my ex husband (to Yasmin and Ronan) is very helpful. Laura and Cara call him "Uncle Peter"...I think that's quite cute.

I have an old baby board book called 'Playtime' and "Mealtime" with babies of all races. Had it since Yassie was a baby. Even still, Laura cried when she saw an indian lady when she was a baby hehehe (and I was friendly with this lady at school!).

When I was about 4? I embarrased my Mum at the dental school by saying "Mum, that kid's got black stuff on his face".. He was aboriginal...my Mum was dead embarrassed hehe I embarrassed my Mum a lot. I was apparently picking my nose in line at the bank when I was 2 or so and Mum said to me "Don't do that" and I said at the top of my voice "I'll pick my nose if I want to!!" LMAO!

i know wat it is u guys are dreaming about me lol ha ha ha if had twins DH would definately run if i had twins

[Snacks]

You preggas, J?!?
Sorry I haven't been in - just been doing it tough lately.
Having said that, I really feel for you, BG. What a shock, both with E and DH. I am sorry that there are extra things to worry about with E's eyes, but you really don't know how technology will change in the coming years. They may well have some great developments in E's lifetime. And as for DH, that's such a pi$$er. I know how hard it is to be looking for work atm. Hoping you both are doing ok with it.
Nic, not sure what's happening with Aaron, but I hope that you (and he, obviously) are ok.

[*TripleJ*]

not yet lol

[MummyNaomi]

Amy - sending some your way!!

[Nicole S]

Thanks Amy Still here...just lurking ATM.
Waiting for Aaron's results from his scan is doing my head in
Having some car issues as well but will PM you next week to see if you are free for that cuppa
Hope you are ok?

Speaking of all the PG dreams I had one last week as well...so strange went to give bith at another hospital but then changed my mind and wanted to birth at the hospital I had Aaron in...so weird

Sorry to be a bit MIA ladies promise to be back latter in the week, hope everyone is well...cyber hugs!!

[Snacks]

Thanks, Nay. I had to admit to LOL @ Bailey's "racism". Kids are just so honest about their feelings. Same as others, I have heard of kids being edgy around people who just look different, ie have glasses or beards. I find Phoebe sometimes just cries at new faces or people she doesn't know just because. There's no reason for it. More often than not she will go to a new person without a fuss, so it's hard not to analyse the situation if she cries at someone. Dave's friend the other day asked if Phoebe knew anyone with a beard because she was being very shy around him. My dad has a beard, so that wasn't the issue. *Shrug* They are only babies. Their worlds are still very small.
Nic: Ah, you are still waiting. No wonder you are stressed. Hope the waiting isn't too much longer and you know what's going on soon.

Hey Mummas and Bubbas.

We are back from Melbourne. Had a read of posts, but will come back tonight when the kiddies are asleep and I can get 5 minutes to myself.

[Bella29]

Hi Girls,

PS I can't remember how to change the bit next to my name that says love being a mummy or whatever it says ATM... can some one talk me thru it?

Well girls I had a great time at Seaworld! Was lovely to meet you Krystie, Kyson, Belinda & Hubby and Jemima! The spitting rain from the morning turned into a lovely day with sunshine which was great!

We all got cute photos of the babies with Sesame St characters (I know you will be happy about this Naomi hehe). Laura loved the little kid rides (a little TOO much..she didn't want to go home hehe).

Unfortunately I got sunburnt on my chest, back, arms, hands and feet (ouch), Laura had a slight bit on her cheek..just a little pink and Cara had her first sunburn on one of her arms..just a bit pink, bit near the back of her neck too. It was a damn hot day..and cloudy too. I put sunscreen on, an reapplied, but I guess I missed bits.

I couldn't believe that I forgot!! my camera!!! LOL that's a first. Luckily Krystie and Belinda brought their cameras (thanks guys!!). I did pick up a disposable camera...no idea how they will turn out though. I am sure the underwater ones will be too dark as no flash is allowed in there.

Cara was quite overtired last night and a bit today. Was going to go to playgroup, but after the sunburn and our big day yesterday, I gave it a miss.

Laura has been to all the 'worlds' now...Dreamworld, Movieworld and Seaworld hehe. Cara has only been to Seaworld though, though technically she went to Movieworld (in my belly hehe).

Hope everyone is having a good week! February already!! My eldest Yasmin turns 13 next week!!

Hope you are having fun at White water world today Krystie!

Evening ladies. Have a quick 5 mins to myself before bed.

Jake and Zac are liking school. (let's see if they feel the same in another 5-10 years)

Logan's appointment went well. He has no depth perception which means everything is 2d to him instead of 3d. His vision is blurry and all he can really see is shapes and colours, until he gets very close to something, and then he can see detail. He has found his Null Point, which is where he tilts his head to get his eyes to stop shaking so he can focus. He did alot better on his visual than he did 3 months ago, and his specialist doesn't want to see him for another 6 months. He has cut one tooth, and the second is trying to come through. He has now discovered how to pull himself up at the couch.

Will be back tomorrow for persies, and will also put some pics of my babies on their first day of school up in FB.

[CathyS]

Hey Naomi

I posted some pics earlier today (well photos of photos of my Sesame St pics with Cara..did you see them?) Maybe i should publish them again?

I will have to wait to see Bella and Krystie's pics for the rest though. I have to develop my disposable camera too.....but then I can't scan them.

Bridg: Glad to hear Logan's appt went well! And woohoo for 2 teeth and pulling to stand up! Cara is trying to pull herself up on me when I am laying on the bed now.
