November 2009 babies!

Yay congrats tiptoes on your exciting news :)

We had a baby boy on the 17th Oct - Oliver (Ollie) James weighing 3.395kgs (7lbs4oz) much better size than his sister (6lb2oz) and we managed a VBAC - very fast delivery after only leaving to go to the hospital with with mild contractions to arriving at 12,55am on his due date!! So much for the pushing staged meaning to be like a first time, this wee man was in a hurry when he decided to come but at least he stayed put so we could watch the RWC AB semi with mild contractions (waters broke on the motorway which was interesting - likely I was sitting on a towel!). We are doing well, he is feeding well and DD loves him so much.

I'm not looking forward to when DH goes back to work next week...eek. Sorry to hear about the cluster feeding I can imagine how hard that is with a toddler.

Oh and i forgot to say Chelle it's funny how our kids were such similar birth weights. Big boys and much smaller girls!

Yay, congrats Snicket! Love the name ;). Don't worry, you'll do well when your DH goes back to work. So hard in the beginning, but you'll get into a routine soon.

And Deb, congratulations!!!

Congratulations to all of those second time Mummies  

I have been computerless at home for a while since some children broke my laptop so I'm a little behind in the world at the moment (on at work at the moment).

Wow Crazy Mum, you are amazing. I'm sure it won't be long till there are a few number 3's coming along in this forum as well.

What has everyone been up to? Guess it must be about time for 2 year updates?!

Tai is doing great. Huge. Were having humoungus sleeping issues - whats new. So any advice there would be great. He's loving daycare - I get a little teary eyed when I see his profile and all the things I'm missing but I love working at the moment and I'm going down to 20 hours in a couple of weeks which will be a good chance to spend some time with him. He's talking heaps, always doing something to surprise us - doing things we didn't even realise he knows how to do!

He's very much a Daddy's boy at the moment, I could try and reason that away to make myself feel better but in the end I think it just swings in roundabouts - Im not taking it to heart. The kid has a lot of love to give, and kisses which I can't get enough of.

As for having another playmate....were still thinking of trying from August next year (which is only 9 months away!!!!!)so I'm excited about that. I'm trying to time it so no#2 comes along at the same time we are relieved of some financial comittments. For now were just focusing on working on our house.

 

Omg!! Editing to say this is sweets. I've just looked and apparently when I logged in it came up as "Guest_36582". Random.

Hello hello everyone - first 2012 post in here!!

I've started hanging around OB again as DP & I want to start trying for #2 later on in the year. You may notice me in that thread complaining about how I need to lose weight haha good place to have a rant. Heres a bit of an update on us.

Mr2 is doing fantastic, currently trying to sit on his little motorbike from McDonalds. He loves swimming, dancing and you won't ever catch him without a car (I'm sure all the boys are like that!). He is talking heaps, being super naughty and cute at the same time. Sleeping is going well for us (finally), we found putting him to bed half an hour later made a huge difference and he hardly ever puts up a fight. We do lots of reading before bed and say goodnight to the entire family.

DP & I are both working full time. Mr2 goes to his grandparents every Monday and then to a really good daycare 4 days a week - he loves it there and we love it too. I worked 20 hours a week for a little while, and may do so again, and found it absolutly brilliant (except for the bank balance :). When number 2 comes along I'm not sure if I will ever return to full time work - at least until Mr2 heads of to school.

We've been doing some work on our house to make it a little more user friendly. Our plan is to rent it out in the next couple of years so we want to make it into a nice attractive rental (hopefully the rowdy neibours have moved out by then!!). All I want is the deck done!!!

I would love to hear how everyone else is going - those of you who have had #2 as well!
