Wonderful news Kat! Congratulations! And belated happy birthday to Brody  Ooooh, I am very excited for you!
LF, I hope you are keeping well and not feeling too uncomfortable, so close now 
I don't really have any advice for TTing as we're just kind of winging it here. I found that at the start if Jody got too anxious about the potty we would just put it out of sight and not talk about it for a week or 2 and that sort of renewed interest. We are very lucky in that she responds well to bribery though, stickers, lollies, grapes, even her daily Vit C tablet are all extremely exciting things for her.
Jody's in knickers or nudey all the time at home now, I am thinking of taking the next (huge) step and taking her up to the shop in knickers next week. I will keep the potty in the car just in case.
Not much to update here. Had my GD bloods done today so will get results next week. DH and I are going to the hospital to get 'booked in' tomorrow so that will be nice to see how things are done here. I so miss having my own personal mw though!

Hi guys! havent been on here for yonks!!!
Congrats Kat on baby no.3, exciting stuff!
And look and all the rest of you, very pg and nearly ready to 'pop' 
Things are good here, Daniel is pretty much fully TT except for night time, (this week!). They seem to all have good days/weeks just to keep you plodding along with it! But he has started to dance when he needs to go so that is good and has always been quite good at telling me when we are out. (Go for it Amby, taking Jody out to town, the worst that happens is you have to leave the puddle in the aisle quickly )
We still use bribary, if he hasnt been for ages and is saying 'no', chocolate chips work well and a packet lasts for months, and like Amby says, anything else seems to go down well too!!!
I finally in the last 6 months seem to have come to a acceptance that I dont see my DH (I know, like 2 years late!!)... He starts work at 7.30am, stops for half a hour to have tea with us then keeps going till 8.30pm (6 days a week) . It does mean though that we never fight!! We've barely got past the hello's by the time it is time for bed  So really, if you fight with your husband, all you need to do is have your own business!!
Gosh, in the supermarket this morning, there were these two girls/ladies (early twenty's?), with a 3ish girl each, and the whole way around they were yelling at the two little girls and swearing at them and allsorts. It was aweful!!! I so wanted to just go and take the little ones home...
Ooops, I've made up for the time I havent been here with the amount I have written!!

Wow, congrats Kat!! What wonderful news 
One already, hope Brody had a Happy Birthday, that year went so fast! Well done x
All the best LF! How are you doing? Hope you're well, I also can't wait to see pics of your girl! x
Ash has a stuffy nose at the moment, but other than that she's happy and smiley. Got a bit of a shock the other day to see that she's 15kg! Getting a bit heavy on the bump, but only a few more weeks to go. I'm planning a homebirth so please cross your fingers for me that all goes well!
Broke up with my Dad last night, which also happened to be me & Luke's wedding anniversary.. crappiest one ever! I don't know why I had people dumping their rubbish on me yesterday of all days, but on the plus side me & Luke are happier than ever which is all that really matters at the end of the day.
Hope you and all your families are happy & healthy! x

Hope your having a better day today Kriss, happy wedding aniversary for the other day though
I weighed daniel at the doctors the other day too, and he is 14.5kg 
I knew I shouldnt have said anything about Daniels TT, he obviously heard and has been shocking since!!
Gosh, nearly half way through the year, how did that happen
Hope all you pregnant mums are feeling well, and all the toddlers are behaving

We seem to have good days and bad with TT. Have got Jody in knickers and pants all day except for nap time and if we're going out for a while. 5 out of 6 wees in the potty today! And I have been brave enough to take her out on short trips in knickers (although I do wait for her to go wees on the potty first)
I hope the dad stress is easing a bit, Krissy xx
Getting pretty uncomfortable here, belly is getting heavy and in the way. Jody is being really good most days. I just need to find a new threat/bribe every week or so. This week is "Jody, bring it here or I will take it off you! ONE......." by then she's running back to me to give me whatever she's nicked off with lol. And she doesn't like anything going in the rubbish "Are you going to eat your dinner, Jody" "NO!!!!" "That's ok sweetie, I'll just put it in the rubbish." She eats the whole lot after that!

Hi ladies
Just popping in while I have a brief second - my baby girl Mahalia arrived on 9 June at 9.21am, 3.89kg.
Didn't get my VBAC and had an elective C section as she was 8 days over and not descended at all, but I don't care anymore as she is great!
We've both had a few issues but all minor and think we are through the worst of it now.
Off to have a sleep! Such a luxury these days ;)

She seriously is soooo cute and was a rockstar in hospital because she has heaps of hair and it has blonde streaks like a bad dye job - interesting as B is maori and I am dark as well. There was a queue to bath her and I kept hearing 'have you seen baby Fox in room 10?' from the corridor. I reckon it will fall out but crossing fingers it will stay - also her eyes are very very blue so we are wondering if they might not turn brown and might go hazel or something as C's were dark straightaway.
Gosh can't believe its nearly you and Kriss' turn again, and then Kat? Wow....
Oh and hugs Kriss, I broke up with my dad 5 years ago - very hard decision but the best one for me in the long run.

congrats LF!!!!
lol i'm a weeeee way off yet. waiting to hear back from the specialist for my first appt.
i'm pretty sure that this ones a girl. i've just got that 'feeling' and this pregnancy is the total opposite from the boys. i've had no morning sickness what so ever, and with liam i couldn't move the nausea was so bad, and brody i was throwing up every day... who knows! 12 weeks to go and i'll know, unless the specialist wants to have fortnightly scans, then i may know as soon as 4-6 weeks!

wow kriss and amby! you both don't have much longer to go!! EXCITING!
LF hows your wee girl doing?
a question for those who have 1 (or more) of each, did you find the pregnancies different from each other??? this pregnancy is by far the easiest (so far) with the added bonus of no morning sickness what so ever... the complete opposite of the boys. and i'm ALWAYS hungry whereas with the boys i couldn't eat.

With my number 1 girl i was sick as a dog and could not eat. With number 2 a boy i felt great and was really hungry. With Isabella i was a lot the same as number 1 but i was not as sick and i was tired. With Quinn i thought he was also a girl because he was the same as number 1 and 3s pregnancy. They can very so much. Mine have all been diff. Im putting my money on you having a girl tho If its another boy i will eat my words i guess hehehehehehe. Exciting times hun

Congrats LF, she looks so cute! Glad everything went well, hope you are all happy & healthy!
Kat, with Ashy I was constantly nauseous but only sick 4 times and all straight after eating, and this time round hardly any sickness at all. But in the first trimester when hungry I had to eat asap otherwise it quickly turned into queasy! Ooh exciting, I wonder what you are having this time.. Glad you are having an easy time though, that's great! x

I can't wait to find out what you're having Kat :)
I am finding this pregnancy a lot harder than with Jody, more ms at the start, and very uncomfortable and sore now. But it's another surprise so we will have to wait another 50 days or so

my moneys on a girl too!... if not its definitely a
'nice' boy so far!!!! 10 weeks or so and we'll find out for sure! although i'm not sure if i'll have a scan every appt with the specialist or not so it could possibly be earlier!
amby i wish i had the patience to have a surprise baby! do you have any names you like for this one? and kriss? does your wee boy have a name? middle names are sorted for a girl. they've been the same since i was pregnant with liam... first names not so much. or middle names for a boy. both boys have middle names of family members so we've actually run out!

We've got names sorted for now
-Charles (Charlie) John for a boy
-Shelbi Anne for a girl
We also hard a hard time coming up with a nice family name for middle names. I have a great uncle Charlie and John is DH's middle name.
Annette is my nanna's middle name.
Have you heard about the 'nub theory'? Where some scanners can tell if baby's a boy or girl by the shape of the 'nub'?

hm, nope, hadn't heard of that one!
Nice names, Amby :-) nice to have that sorted too, I bet! not long to wait now - a surprise is lovely, I really liked not knowing what natalie was (though I was saying she was a girl! lol)
Speaking of, she turned one yesterday. Can't believe how quickly the year has gone. Kind of sad and lovely at the same time, I am definitely feeling like I could do it all over again, though I know I won't get that opportunity. Ah well, blessed with 3 beautiful girls at least! lol

OMGosh Kat, go you...haha...ummm i got one of each and i carried the same....i didnt get sick with either of them, i carried them the same all large and out front lol, so not much help really. :)
Quick update
Lycan is turning 5 next month so will be starting school in term 3....so its all go here planing his birthday....i will attempt to make his jungle themed cake haha wish me luck im gonna need it.
Peyton is still in nappies she is not slightly interested in going to the toilet yet...we have tried but even the her preschool teacher said shes not ready, so i will try again in a couple of weeks...hopefully i will have her fully toilet trained by the time she is 3. Lycan was so much easier to toilet train.

And Happy belated born day to Brodi and Natalie.
