Hi ladies I thought I should start a new thread. Hope all is well

@LouLou0505 didn't realise you were part of the thin blue line too ☺️ you'll feel like you've never been off 😂. I've been back a few months (albeit on restricted).

@2020mission no we're keeping it a surprise again. It's hard not knowing it but the surprise is lovely.

@burtle4 nearly 20 weeks. Absolutely insane how quick it's going.

@lovebeingmum9 thanks! The sickness is just soul destroying. I'm struggling keeping tablets and water down too. Sorry to hear about your dog. It's absolutely devastating as they are part of the family. I dread the day ours goes.

@jadey1991 forgot to say your puppy looks adorable!

Apologies if I've missed/not replied to everyone. Just a bit naff on here atm with everything going on so sorry if I've missed anyone 🤦🏼‍♀️

@jajadey1991 so many people have been to Turkey recently and loved it so I'm looking forward to going and seeing a different country and culture ❤ hopefully in Jan they might have some good deals on!? Are you planning on going self catering,half-board or all inclusive?
Thanks @Decadesbcun yes it's awful and even at 15 and a half we wasn't ready to say goodbye (I don't think your ever fully ready for that) we plan on planting some pretty flowers to come up next spring and summer and attract some butterflies (our 5yr old thinks our dogs are coming back as butterflies) x

@Theawkwardblonde thank you hun. Is everything ok? How's the family

@lovebeingmum9 yes exactly we have never been abroad so it will be lovely to see the different culture and experience another country. We are planning on going all inclusive. How about you?

@jajadey1991 aw you will all love it! We have to get all our children's passports as eldest 3 have expired so that won't be cheap 😅 yes same all inclusive too x

Hello Moms!
I can’t believe it’s been a year since my baby shower…… playing games opening gifts & having a wonderful time all in my honor. Now baby Jack is almost 10 months old - I know it’s almost Halloween but it’s scary how fast the time has gone. He’s crawling pulling himself up babbling & still only 2 teeth! It’s sure gonna be a different Christmas this year!

@lovebeingmum9 yes hun we can't wait. Me and hubby were talking about it last night. Yes we gotta do the same with passports as my kids have never had one. Mine and hubbys is ok.

Anyone going trick or treating with the kids this year?

@JW2021 hey my lovely. Doesn't jack look so cute. Yes time is flying by. All our babies are gonna be 1 this year. It's funny coz I was talking my mother in law about Christmas. Although Josiah and most of us had babies there before Christmas it's like it's gonna be there second one.

Is anyone doing anything for babies 1st christmas? We have been thinking of doing something but don't want it to be big as he won't remember it

@JW2021 crazy isn't it how quick it's all gone...But yet its like they've always been here and obviously can't imagine life without them!
aw Jack's growing lovely! Bet this Christmas will be amazing 🎄
@jadey1991 Yes will be cute seeing their passport pics! We are going trick or treating for halloween locally but also do our own halloween party for our children 🎃 This year hubby and I have bought full costumes 🤣
And for Christmas we have booked to visit Father Christmas..... we book at a garden centre which have a great display and then after we go for a meal
(Oscars 1st time seeing santa) ❤🎅
On Christmas day we spend at home normally in our pj's and just watching our children playing with new toys,Christmas movies and food! can't wait!
What are all your plans for halloween and Christmas? x

Ah jeez I've missed so much. My eldest daughter been unwell again. It's been a wild week. Hope everyone is well and all babies are good and behaving 😄
We are going trick o treating for Halloween can't wait to dress baby up and get a few photos. Last Halloween I was waddling around with a pumpkin bump. The year has gone so fast. We managed to go pumpkin picking before my daughter got ill.
Looking to book santa at a garden centre too @lovebeingmum9
Looking at the calendar my baby will be 1 in 5 weeks and 5 days 😩 I'm all sorted for the girls birthdays and xmas' just 1 or 2 more things to get.
Crazy how fast time has gone !!!!!

Hi all! @Curlymam88 aw she's gorgeous and looks very much a toddler now! Sorry to hear the illness is lingering,we have had cough/cold and sickness this week too but I'm hopefull we will all be well for the weekend as our eldest turns 11! Lovely seeing everyone's pumpkin pics oscar refused to look at the camera he was too busy trying to eat the pumpkins 😅 he's such a food now.....has anyone else noticed their little ones appetites have grow!?

@lovebeingmum9 it's all its been this month is illnesses. And baby is suddenly all out of sorts with her sleeping. Im shattered. This week she's been going ro sleep about 11/midnight then up through the night grizzling and unsettled. I do the nappy change and some milk but usually only has about 2oz. Not sure what's going on. She still doesn't have any teeth! But we can't see anything coming through so don't know if its her gums or not either.
Happy Birthday to your eldest, hope they have a fab birthday and everyone is well for it 🤞 lobely photos! And same I sat the baby on a pumpkin for a photo she was looking confused about it all.
I'm assuming baby has been eating more as some days she only has 2 bottles. She has a bottle in the morning before school run and breakfast when we get back and a bottle before bed. Today she's just had a bottle after lunch though.

@lovebeingmum9 aww that's lovely. We don't have anything like that around here. Other then in schools sometimes you might get someone dress up as Santa.
We will be doing the same. Staying home as a family and watch kiddies open pressies. Then over Xmas period we go and see family:

@Curlymam88 OMMMMMMG... sorry for caps. Leola looks so darning cute... omg I can't believe I've seen a difference in her from baby till now... she looks so adorable hun. I love it. It's such a privilege to be on this journey with you all.
Oooh no what's up with your daughter(eldest)? I hope she is ok.
Yes I can't believe how fast time has gone. Josiah had 7 weeks from tomorrow till his 1 last birthday. It's so crazy how time is flying.. makes me sad.

@lovebeingmum9 OMGGGG and again sorry for caps. Bust cold at is so blooming cute. He has sooo much hair.. love the pics of u all. So lovely..
Yes I've noticed Josiah has an appetite of a 2 year old lol. He can eat eat eat all day long... Josiah isn't even picky with any foods. He loves everything.

@Curlymam88 I forgot to mention, I hear what your saying with the sleeping pattern.. Josiah goes sleep around 9ish then decides to wake up around 1am and stays awake till about 5ish am... then that's my routine out for the other 2 kiddies coz I struggle to wake back up again. Josiah also fidgets a lot in his sleep. Josiah has 9 teeth.
I'm still waiting for his hair to grow abit more. Surprisingly it's growing slow. My other 2 had ALOT of hair from birth.
Here are some pics of Josiah

Here are a few pictures of me and family

@jadey1991 thank you! I know its been fab sering all the babies grow. My rudest had water infection and was really fown in the dumps. Shes ok now though thank you. I love those photos of your little family. Josiah is just too cute those big eyes and your girls are gorgeous too!!

@Curlymam88 aww bless her. I'm glad she is better now hun..
Aww thank you, yes Josiah gets his big eyes from his dad and his family. Thankyou for the comments on my family and daughters x

Thank you everyone for sharing your stories , tips & most of all the beautiful photos all your babies are just soooo adorable - I’d love for them all to be friends when they are older wouldn't you all?! Ok ladies a sneak preview of my Jack…..ordered his outfit to match his little cousins for an Xmas photo next month - up date still only 2 teeth 🤷🏼Crawling & pulling himself up - had to lower the crib! Still not sleeping thru ….dinner - bath - bed by 7:30 wakes at 1 for his dummy maybe a diaper change then back to sleep until 6:30 - HELP!

@JW2021 baby was up every hour last night. She seems to be getting worse. Up at 11, 1, 3,5 then I get up 6.40. She had a bottle twice last night too which isn't like her. Shes akways been a relatively good sleeper. I have no idea what's going on and feeling pretty useless and shitty if I'm honest. All I can think is maybe growth spurt? Or gums? Feel like rubbish 😫 jack is so cute and handsome in his little shirt.

@JW2021 jack is so cute. You should get him into modelling. He loves a photo being taken doesn't he? Don't worry hun most of us are going through the same thing. Josiah didn't go sleep till 3am this morning and woke up at 7am. I'm so drained. Plus I'm up and down today with appointments. Not sure why his sleeping pattern is like this. He has his dinner, bath, some calming music then bed. So not sure.

@Curlymam88 oh no, how horrible for you, that's almost like going back to newborn days with that level of waking 😩 I know they do go through a 10 month sleep regression so it could just be that? I think it can happen at anytime, doesn't have to be at exactly 10 months. Dexter started waking again about a month ago and was taking ages to settle but thankfully now he seems to be out the other side of it. It's something to do with coping with all the new things they're learning, wanting to practice everything, combined with separation anxiety and not wanting to be left alone. Just remember that, like everything, its a phase and something that she will grow out of. You are definitely not useless, you will be doing everything you can for her, unfortunately getting no sleep is just the worst and not much you can do about it until she grows out of it 🤦‍♀️

@jadey1991 I'm guessing Josiah must be going through the same thing too, sorry to hear you're getting rubbish sleep too, fingers crossed it passes soon x

@burtle4 thank you for the reassurance hope it doesn't last much longer. Its been happening for about a week now. I just googled and it can last 2-6 weeks 😫 but like you said I just have to keep telling myself it's just a phase. Thank you x
