Morning! I really like this group too. You didn't mean any harm Sanchez, no one did for that matter. Let's continue sharing advice like we always have. I've personally learnt so much from you girls, BB in general. Not sure who PM you Pooley but I'm sure their intentions were good and thought chatting via PM may have been more apropriate than discussing it in our thread.
Sanchez - I'm on the mini pill but no AF here. Woohoo! Touch wood! I've been on it for 2 months now. I *think* the missing sugar pills is the reason for no AF as I used to frequently skip sugar pills to skip periods (on doctors advice due to endometriosis) and didn't get AF - which was the desired outcome.
Art - very excited about using the jumperoo today! I reckon Izzy will love it. She just loves to stand!
Hot night here last night so DH and I enjoyed a few wines on the outdoor lonuge. Was so nice. Izzy went down so easily yesterday which was a nice change as she took a liking to being rocked to sleep for about 10 days.
Izzy is still fighting day sleeps and yesterday was full on. She only had an hour in the morning and we finally got her to sleep, in the sling, for 2 hours late afternoon. Much nicer baby after that!
We are about to head out for a morning sail - izzy's first time! I'll have to drown her in sunscreen. It's warm here already, going to be 39 today!
Chat later!

Janine, I forgot to say a big Yay for your DH changing jobs - it will make life so much better having him there every night! There must have been some very looong days with him gone all the time.
Sanchez, no idea about the mini pill sorry. ATM we are relying on luck, which probably isn't the most reliable form of birth control lol There is a little boy at mothers group who is nearly 11 months and is still working on his first tooth!
Hi all! YAY for a shiny new thread, I think we need it! I also love hearing how we all choose to parent so lets keep the healthy discussion going
Sanchez - sorry I have no clue about the mini pill. I tried it after having DD and it made me feel so sick, I didn't last very long on it No sign of any teeth here. My DD got her first tooth at 8 months so I'm not expecting Ethan's to come through anytime soon. Probably a good thing as I'm bfing and I also still remember getting bitten by a tooth, ouchies!!!!!!
Taurean - hope you enjoy the sail! Ethan is fighting day sleeps too and driving me a bit mental at the moment. He gets himself so overtired and grumpy - why can't they just go to sleep
Art - lol on relying on luck as birth control! We are too but as we aren't planning on having anymore children we probably should look at something else lol! Are you planning on another bub?
We are plodding along ok except for the issue with day sleeps. Ethan loves to stand as well and can sit up for a few seconds on his own. I reckon give him another 4 weeks or so and he'll be sitting up. It's so scary how fast they grow up! I'm taking him to the health centre this week so will be interesting to see how much he weighs now, he seems so much heavier lately!
Luck for birth control - good luck with that!!!!!! Art and Sangie you may just be gluttons for punishment!
I woke up the other morning and felt so nauseous.....and then i had a panic attack thinking it could be morning sickness.....and literally ripped open the unopen mini pill pack and shoved 2 in my mouth!!!! Doesn't even bare thinking about
As for Violets development - I think she may be in the behind stakes. She was rolling at 2 months but has completely stopped - doesn't even look like she wants to move.
She doesn't talk that much - all up i reckon she would only talk for 10 minutes a day - if that.
Sitting up doesn't look too successful - stays up for a second and then topples.
She clenches her fists an awful lot but i am trying to get her to grasp objects.
She is all about standing on her feet though - not happy unless shes standing up!
I guess i am not too phased....she'll get it in her own time. But is this really heaps different to everyone elses babes?
Someone told me she was slow the other day - does make you think...almost made me cry though!
Sanchez, she doesn't sound slow at all! That was rude of someone to say. A has been rolling front to back since 3.5 weeks, but hardly ever does it now. She doesn't roll the other way. DS almost never rolled but was sitting, walking and talking very early. They do things in their own time. Oh, and DS hardly made any sounds as a baby but was speaking in sentences at 17 months.
Pooley, that must be cute seeing F wriggle all over his bed. My kids are both logs - they wake in the exact same position that they go to sleep in.
Taurean, how did the Jumperoo go? And the sailing? We haven't taken A out in the boat again since the last disaster when she screamed her head off every time the engine stopped.
Sangie, not planning any more kids and certainly not so soon. REALLY need to do something about birth control, just don't like any of the options.
So the powers that be have now decided that it is good to start solids between 4-6 months so our bubs are now officially big enough to eat! Has anyone started yet? Planning to start soon? For us we are probably going to wait until closer to 6 months as we did Baby Led Solids with DS and it was really easy. Basically it is just skipping the mush stage and going straight to finger food. I am happy to talk about it if anyone has any questions, it is not everyones cup of tea because they can gag a bit if they put too much in and a lot of people worry about choking. Plus I am in no hurry to have solids poo nappies lol
I have a feeling this thread has lost Janine unfortunately. And all she was trying to do was help people which is what I thought this thread was about.
AFM, I think a hiatus is in order for a while as I have lost the feeling of comradery among this group. Thanks to those that have been truly supportive. All the best on your mothering journey, Pooley and Frazer.
It's sad that you feel that way Pooley (and that you have deleted me on FB but each to their own). I apologised immediately after 'sharing my thoughts' and immdiately dropped the issue once you had explained your reasoning. You raised a point 'I had not considered' (raising a point you may not have considered was exactly what I was doing in the beginning) and I took your comments on board and dropped it. It was never a nasty debate, merely a discussion. If I used the wrong word to express my feelings, as many of us are guilty of doing, I apologise once more. I'm not going to go on about it though and as you would have noticed, I had let it go and so had everyone else but Janine had to drag out everything again, stats and all, which had already been discussed. What was the point? How many apologies were necessary?
This has been blown completely out of context. It's a real shame.
Pooley I hope it is a short hiatus and you rejoin us soon
Even if you don't actively write...it would be nice if you could let us know time to time how you and Frazer are doing. I would love to hear how he is progressing and if he is in Pull Ups by his 1st birthday!!!!
No sign of any teeth here. My DD got her first tooth at 8 months so I'm not expecting Ethan's to come through anytime soon. Probably a good thing as I'm bfing and I also still remember getting bitten by a tooth, ouchies!!!!!!
Luck for birth control - good luck with that!!!!!! Art and Sangie you may just be gluttons for punishment!
