Oct 08 - On our way to the terrible twos! Noooooo we're not ready!

[50ftQueenie]

Here we go ladies.....At the speed we've been moving it might be the terrible twos thread! It's the final count down.......

did our last thread really last that long?!
Thanks for new one .

two is two months away today for emma.... arg!

Is Emma the first to turn two? Scary stuff, only two months to go!

CSWS - Yes indeed! The thread was started at the end of April!

I think of the people left on the the thread emma is the oldest... closely followed by myjob's N

I think the thread would've gone quicker if you hadn't lost your internet 50ft

I think that too KSal! Tee hee! I am a terrible chatter box (and neglectful mother).

New thread. Yipee.
Thank you 50ft.

Star you are a mad lady. If you want to experience the joy of having three children I know somewhere you can go to experience it. I promise it is only a little bit painful

I am now saying that W is nearly two when people ask how old he is. Mostly because I dont actually know his age. Stopped counting at weaning age.

Blimy 50ft is DS 7? I thought he already was
Are you still having a get together soon? Not sure if I have missed the date. I dont want to gatecrash again.

Ksal. How are you getting on? Is your bump getting in the way yet

I think DD1 is going to get her period soon She has started to get tummy aches for no real reason. My little baby is a big girl and I cant do anything to stop it happening. I so wanted for her to be a late developer. She is only 10

Hee hee Ronshar. No he's a baby in his year so he's still only 6! Oh poor DD1 and poor you! It must be a shock to the system for both of you. You for having a grown-up young lady and her for going through this so young. Don't think we actually sorted a day for my get together. The weather has been so rubbish that we might need to wait until later in the Summer! We are pretty busy the last week of July, I thought we might be as it's DH's only week off during the Summer holidays. I am going to Knit Nation on the Friday to droooool over yarn! Possibly literally...... Oh and W is 21 months....

Thank you. At least when I get stopped in Sainsbury I can tell the nosy old crones she is a he and he is 21 months.
W had a big haircut this week. Actually looks like a boy for the first time since he was born!
If you have a free day in the hols let me know and we could come up to you! If thats ok. Obviously if you are busy I will understand.

arg ronshar - that seems so young... but i get the impression it starts younger these days in general. (I was v lucky, i was 14)

emma still hasn't had a haricut... why isn't her hair growing properly yet?! its still all fluffy and fine!

oh and bump very much in the way now. I thoughti was doing really well with it not being too massive, but its really popped out.

having said that the rest of my figure is the best its been in ages... musrt be all the uphill buggy pushing and toddler lifting

blooming sausage fingers.... sorry about the typos

oh Ksal how exciting! Is the baby wiggling around a lot?
I was 14, nearly 15 when I got my period for the first time, too. I hear that a lot of girls now get it at around 10. So young!
Q has very fine blonde hair and it has gotten thicker recently but I refuse to cut the little curls at the end in the back and on the sides. ~I would like to trim his fringe, though. I don't want it super short, but need to trim that front bit and can't because I'm afraid I@ll mess it up... he's never had a haircut

Thanks for the new thread 50ft!
I'm up for meeting up with anyone anytime in next few weeks

Ronshar, come to me, too!!! Come to chessington! We went a couple times to the mother toddler thing and then they said I could have an annual pass for only £10 more and the total was less than the cost of the pass... Odd but did it and now we can go whenever! I also have a few 2 for 1 vouchers if anyone wants them.

Myjob how exciting!!!!!!

Thanks for the new thread.

CSWS - I'm madly impressed that you're even talking about going out with three, let alone actually doing it - on your own!

Star - I break up next week and will be a free agent. I'm definitely up for getting together.

Myjob - We still haven't sorted out dp's Monkeyworld trip but it will probably be in early September. I'd love to pop in and see you then if that's OK?

I'm feeling really, really sad. I've decided that I'm going to have to give up bfing. I'm pretty sure that it's one of the things stopping me from getting pregnant (as well as the obvious issue of my age). I feel hugely emotional about it (am crying now just typing this) and don't really have anyone to talk to about it, as I'm the only person I know in RL who is still BFing. I feel like I need to give myself the best possible chance to conceive but at the same time, I'll be so sad if I give it up don't pg and find out I've done it for nothing. I know there are so many other facets to being a mother than feeding but I just feel that neither of us is ready. At the same time, I'll be 43 in October so I'm running out of time. Please come and talk some sense into me.

Oh love dont cry.
If you think it will help you to create a new life then how is that a bad thing?
DS is so close to being 2 that you have given him the very very best start to his life. Do you feel you will lose him if you are not feeding?
Boys are so very snuggly and love to have cuddles more than girls. You will never lose the closeness with DS. It will just be a little tiny bit different.

If you do it gently over a couple of weeks then it wont be too traumatic for either of you.

Right DD1 guide camp DD2 gym academy 25-31 July. I am away 10th-17th. Sinus op 19th of August.
Other than that we are pretty much free.
Give me your dates ladies and we shall work it out.

Pistachio. What where the dates again. (Sieve head)
Myjob. That is very exciting for you. A whole new world awaits.

Oh cf - that is such a difficult decision . You have obviously given it a lot of thought, and you know the pitfalls of either option. Sadly none of us has a crystal ball to tell you what will happen, but I very much hope that you are successful in your ttc. Re-starting bf may still be an option for you if you succeed very quickly and you and S think that this is right for you.

Ronshar - what a shame you are all busy the last week of July. I and the dc are all totally free on Mon 26th. Anyone else want to come and play that day?

Nice but silly hv came out today, and weighed and measured J, but forgot to write his stats in his red book - just plotted them on a graph which means that I have a vague idea of what they were, but not a precise figure - grrrr! He was 98th or 91st centile for everything (height, weight, head circ) though. Amazing that I birthed a 98th centile head without the need for stitches afterwards .

Thanks ladies - I knew you'd understand.

Pistachio - the awful thing is I'm crying but I haven't actually stopped yet - I've just decided to!! What will I be like when I actually do???? The reason I think it's affecting me is that I've been doing the TTC charting and cutting down feeds at the same time. There's been a big improvement in my charts as I've cut down. I'm definitely ovulating (like clockwork) and my luteal phase is OK but still I think that the BFing is somehow suppressing my fertility. I've been doing quite a bit of reading round and there's a lot of anecdotal evidence of women getting pregnant once they've given up. Of course, I could actually be pregnant and over emotional now, but I don't think so. Bah!

Ronshar - I meant to say earlier in the week how lovely and glamourous you looked in the Boris video.

The other thing is, that I've no idea how to actually do it. We're down to 2 feeds a day. I think I should cut out the evening feed next as I know he can manage without it easily when I go out. What did you all do?
