November 2009 babies!

Definitely got really quiet in here!! I've joined the September 2011 thread too and we've mainly all moved to a private facebook group. It moves so fast, so chatty hehe

Oh baby in general seems pretty quiet. Maybe everyone has moved to facebook groups.

How are you feeling Snicket? Are you finding out if you're having a boy or girl this time?

Not sure if I mentioned it yet or not but we had our scan and we're having a girl I've gone off and got a whole lot of pink stuff for her room like a lamp, hamper, bedding etc.. it's all a pink winnie the pooh theme. We started cleaning out the spare room over Easter and now it's ready to start getting put together. DH still needs to put in a new wardrobe so there's some shelves and then he's got to paint the wardrobe doors and the bedroom door. The doors have been downstairs waiting to be painted for 2 years hahaha so now he'll finally need to get it done.

Who is the first due from our group?   Maybe we should do another due date list? Is it you Jaxs?

Yeah a due date for us would be cool. I'll start if you girls want to add or do something flash! No I'm not finding out again. Yay for you having a girl.

snicket - 17th Oct. Not finding out

I don't know how to do the fancy writing, so will have to leave that up to someone else!

snicket - 17th Oct. Not finding out
Jaxnz1 - 30th July - it's a boy!

Cute Deb about saying duck. Georgia is able to put animal sounds together with their names now, so when you say cow, she says moooo. And pig involves screwing our nose up and sniffing a few times trying to imitate a pig.
Very cute age.

We are off to Dr today as she vomited a banana, so it may be more than teething. She had bronchiolitis about three times last winter, so am wondering if it's that again. No fun at all. She woke every hour last night until about 11pm then woke at 2am and 6:30am. Am shattered today, not sure how I'll cope with a newborn again, I like my sleep!!   

I hope you all had fantastic Mummies Days yesterday I hope a lovely day which started with a 8.30am sleep in!!

Deb, that is funny about the due date. My birthday is the 18th and my DH the 19th so we are hoping its either earlier or later. I so don't want it coming on my birthday as it will never be about me again!!

Jax I hope you and Georgia are feeling better. No sleep sux.

We are also getting lots of single words....super cute. They are getting closer to being wee parrots.

We moved S into the big bedroom in the weekend & she is loving all the space in her room. In a month or so we will introduce the big bed! I need to buy one first though

Ok ladies, here is our list of favourite boys names:

Alex
Liam
Caleb
Mason

My favourite is Liam, just have to convince DH to name him that. I think it's the name that goes best with our last name. Will decide when he's born anyway.

We've started Georgia in her big girl's bed for daytime sleeps. Will put her in there at night from this weekend, see how it goes. We have a bed rail, so it's really no different from her cot. Just a lot more room. My only concern is that she does move alot in her cot, gets in all different positions, so will be interesting in a big bed

She had an ear infection last week, so she's had antibiotics and is much better. We have her top eye teeth coming through which is probably what caused the ear infection. Poor thing, am really over this teething now! No doubt she will finish and #2 will start

Jafa, hope settling into the new DC goes well. We are still having issues dropping off, but she's fine as soon as I've left.

I still haven't been to get our 15 months vaccinations! Have been putting it off because of teething, think I just have to bite the bullet.

Hi ladies,

Haven't been visiting our group since March, but luckily there's not too much catching up to do ;).

All good in Tokyo, life is pretty much back to normal now. Haven't had the chance to concentrate on this pregnancy much, and I think I only have two belly shots so far! I've bought clothes for him, but haven't got the room ready or even a name! Oh this poor neglected second child.. must get my act together ;)

I'm having a c-section as I had an emergency c-section last time. Saw my Ob today and he confirmed that I'll have the operation on 17 June, so very soon!

Jaxnz1 - 30th July - it's a boy!
LilyC - 17th June (c-section) - it's a boy!

It's very quiet here these days, maybe we should do one of those FB update-message rounds we did last year in July.

Great to hear that all you pregnant ladies are well and it's so awesome to hear about your kids' development as it seems that we're all going through the same things. they're suddenly so big! And just getting cuter every day.

It's quite sad that our little group has drifted apart so much. I miss the days of chatting in here regularly.

Alex is a big boy. I don't think Isabella is very far behind him. I know what you mean about them being loud. Between Isabella and her brother i need ear plugs!

Wow LilyC not long to go now! How exciting. Glad to hear all is well.

Aww i can't believe some are going into big beds already. I won't be switching Isabella for a while. Her brother was 23 months.

It's hard to believe our babies are 18 months now or nearly. They're growing up so fast. Isabella is saying more and more words all the time. She copies new words from us pretty much daily. So cute. They're like little sponges.

She's had 16 teeth for months, wonder when she'll get the last ones. Even though she has that many teeth she still chokes on apple, so i chuck it in the microwave to soften it for her.

There's one weird thing that she does that i wonder if it's normal or not. When she gets angry she bites herself! Sometimes i think it's an attention thing, you know giving herself something to cry about so i'll pick her up or whatever. Even though she gets attention and cuddles all the time. Strange child. She bit her brother on the back the other day when he stole her seat. Stroppy little tart she is!

It was my birthday yesterday. Didn't do anything. Had a bit of crap day actually coz the kids played up a lot. But my mum and sister got me an awesome pair of Dr Martens like this. I love them! So that was a nice surprise and DP made me a yummy banana cake.

I miss chatting in here regularly too. I keep coming in and checking to see if people have updated!!

Deb, Alex went through a stage of biting himself. He'd bite his own wrist or hand and then look at us with a look on his face like, 'now what are you going to do about it?'. He has stopped that now - but since you mention the work thing sweets, I think it was mainly when DH was going back to work and Alex was going to daycare.   We used to ask him if it hurt, he'd normally nod sadly and so we'd tell him that he shouldn't do it any more!

If he's frustrated or annoyed now then he'll throw something. A couple of times he has tried to hit me, but I have always just said 'we don't hit in our family' and he stops and strokes my arm instead! I think they must do something like that at daycare.

Windy here too!
I miss coming on here as well. Bet I post a lot more now my FB is gone haha. Im still a little paranoid of people reading my posts though.

We might be moving...yes AGAIN! This will be the 6th time since I was pregnant with Tai - if it happens. Its all a bit of a whirlwind situation (a good one) but I'll explain more if it happens. We should get some more information in the next few weeks - its been dragging on for a few months now and it's driving me CRAZY! I just went and had a look at some showhomes - and WOW found one I absolutely love. Wish I didnt go now, I'm starting to get my hopes up!

T used to get bitten at care. Some nasty ones, he actually has a scar on his face from one. They've stopped now though but thankfully he never started to bite in return. He has a 'thinking chair'. Sometimes he goes and puts himself there, it is hillarious.

Hows the job Jaffa? You have been there a litte while now hey, long enough for Mat leave? Lol

I miss our little chats too!

Good luck sweets, that's a lot of moving! One move was enough for me. Think we will be here for quite a while now.

Georgia tends to throw herself on the ground when she gets angry or frustrated. Usually hitting her head on something or the ground on the way down which makes it worse.

She's becoming quite fussy with her dinner now. I usually do veggies for her and she eats around 5pm because she gets so hungry. If she hears me in the kitchen she comes in and tugs on me and cries, making it really hard to get her tea ready.
Hopefully once I'm at home I can make it a bit earlier and then just put it in the microwave. I would like us to eat all together because I think that would help with the fussiness, but we're not ready to eat so early and I only get home from work around 4pm.
What do you ladies do for dinners?

Her eye teeth have come through, so hopefully we get a longer break from teething this time.
Second night in her big bed went a lot better. Will be able to steal the cot away this weekend hopefully!
