Yup all kids were totally planned - I don't think I expected to fall pregnant so quickly with DD2 though because I had an infection after my second c-section and I was expecting it to take a while (because it can affect fertility). And you only really need to wait between c-sections if you want a VBAC - and only 18 months between births, so I did that with DS and DD1 (there is just under 19 months between them) and yeah, mucked up the timing with the other two, so there is 16 months between them.. LOL.. whoops!
Arimeh - Happy birthday to your little man! I can not believe how young your kids are! Did you plan on having them all so close? I love their names too, especially Kelti - how beautifulHow was it having them all so close after 2 c-sect too? I thought you had to wait between each one?
When we (well, most likely) go for #4, we will aim for the same age gap between DD2 and the new baby as there is between DS and DD1 - I liked the 19 months age gap, it was good. Much easier than the 16 months I have between the two younger ones, Kelts is just so young, and doesn't really talk that much yet, so its much harder to deal with her and getting her to understand that mummy can't hold her at the moment etc, it was much easier with DS. But his language skills were far better than hers are too - plus he wasn't having bottles of milk still, he was having sippy cups - which he held himself. Kelts STILL won't hold her own bloody bottle - does our head in
Anyhoo sorry bout that - crapped on a bit there.
Oh - and about the baby bjorn - most of the reviews are about how bad they are for the baby's spine (because bubs just sorta hangs there by its armpits basically) whereas carriers such as the ergo support bubs spine because they create a little seat for them to sit in, so they are much better for a developing spine - thats why people have a problem with ones like baby bjornBut hey, its good to know that they are comfy for people cos I had a cheap version of one (the Tomy ones from Big W) and it was uncomfy as all ****. Pulled on my shoulders something shocking!!!
Sorry, off track there.
Mon - I'm glad he is back to normal.
Kymmy - immunisations is a tricky one. We have DS and DD1 fully immunised - but are rethinking getting DD1's 18 month ones done. And questioning getting DD2 done. WE are thinking that we will get SOME of them done, like ones that they can actually die from (ie whooping cough) but delay some of the others, measles, chicken pox etc. I was going to start up a thread actually to see which ones I should definitely be getting. But its all so confusing!!! Does my head in most times, so I haven't been thinking about it.
Better go, have another inspection this morning, so got to keep tidying up!! DD2 is asleep still (only had to resettle her three times already) and DD1 and DS are playing behind me and sorta watching tv.. but sorta not.. LOL
Hope all are well and getting lots of sleep (unless your kids are like mine.. bwahaha)
