June mummies '05 thread 9 - The one where small beginnings become great things

[katzg]

one brand new thread!

what will our babies do this month?

Glad to here your little one is better

DD2 is back to her old self except the whole eating thing -she just won't! We were really spoilt with DD1 she would eat anything and everything and to a large extent still does, bt DD2 is sooooo fussy and mealtimes are a knightmare.

hello all, hope you had a nice weekend

mumma and katz - nice to hear the little ones are doing better. my dd only ever had a couple of sneezes and a bit of stuffy nose, huge relief for me but i guess its only a matter of time.
about food,dd is far keener on finger food and tries to get what we are eating, i think if we had dinner at the same time she would be eating much more, we try at lunch over the weekend and she mostly feeds herself, but regarding portions i can't say its 3 meals, i usually offer 4-5 small
portions a day.

tea - ouch at the burning head!

kvg - on the subject of nork tamming i wear a shock absorber and it does the job (36FF).
the worst is just getting started and walking out the door. the river path is 2min from my front door and honestly no matter how cold it is just so gorgeous out there i always feel better afterwards.

hope everyone else is ok take care and have a good week, apparently spring is coming

morning all
i have had the whole dilemma of should i take dd2 out the house to take dd1 to school?
i decided to phone a friend and ask her to do a big favour and take my dd1 to school after she had taken her 2 dd's. now to sort out picking her up
dd3 is back to her old self but now dd2 has the sickness. been sick all morning and is not a happy bunny. oh the joys of mother hood hey?

dd3 seems to be able to get about now mainly backwards but she is travelling around the living room .

hope evryone well will try to catch up properly when the sick stops
love me xxxx

morning everyone,

I haven't been back on since I first posted, so I just thought I'd check in. DS2 ( has got to 9 months now already! Where does the time go?!) He is really getting good at his crawling and pullling him self up on the settee. DS1 is havihg trouble keeping his toys to himself and is having a quick lesson in sharing!

I think we've got nother tooth coming through so that will be 5! (3 top and two bottom)His favourite things are: Food, real mummy daddy food not baby food!The washing machine is good to watch and he loves the vaccuum cleaner. He is into everything!

I've just done a lovely little keepsake footprint and handprint of him, it has a holder for a photograph next to it. Getting the handprint was a barrel of laughs, but we got there in the end! It's a good kit and we picked it up for just over a tenner too!

Anyway hope you are all well and the babies are well too. Have a good week!
Love Mumatuks and Babytuks xx

Afternoon mums hugsss

Feeling alot better, even wrung up mother and toddler group so im taking william tommoror morning thats a big step for me wish us luck.

We also went to see my sis Gill yesterday, to see our little Georgia, she is lovely baby, just started cooing, and she interacts with you if you talk to her, Gillian said her hearing isnt so impaired, she has alittle scar on her heart bless her William was more interested in her toys and Daddy lol, it was lovely to hold her in my arms and sing to her, she fell asleep. Im so proud of my sister and her hubby to be.

Im sorry to hear all our junie babies have been so ill lately love to you all get better soon.

just a quick post, so ill catch up with all laterx

EYM-Lovely to hear from you.Glad you are feeling a bit better and great to hear about Georgia.Good luck for tomorrow-it is quite daunting going to a baby group on your own,but once you're there,you'll be fine.I go to 3 a week now,including one on my own(and Oscar of course!).

I am now officially unemployed-it was my last day at work today.I was really embarrassed as they did another collection and gave me a lovely pair of sapphire earrings.I don't think it'll sink in for a while-me not working,as I've worked continously for the last 17 years.It's going to be great not having to use public transport.

Glad the Junies seem to be getting better.

Muma3-Hope your dd2 gets well soon.

Ds has now put all the weight back on and more,but for the last week he's been having an extra 20oz's and waking up at 5am instead of his normal 7.30am.That Gastroenteritis must've really knocked his routine and his naps have also now changed from afternoon to morning which is a bit of a pain,especially where the baby groups are concerned.
We put his swing up in the garden yesterday which he absolutely loved and he seems to be growing so much that he doesn't seem like a baby anyway-more like a little boy.

My diet is also going really well-I've lost 22lb's in just 4 weeks,so really pleased.Still finding it very easy and have told dh that if I can keep up the weight loss,I should've lost another 3 stone by June and hopefully we're going to "seriously" start trying for baby number 2.Hope everyone is well and Giddy-those parsnip balls sound deeeeelicious.

good morning all

eym- nice to hear from you, glad georgia is doing well. does it mean there will be a wedding soon? thats always nice, gladrags and all.

just quick post, it was our wedding anniversary yesterday, dh left earlier and arrived later than usual, first day on a new job. but before he left he gave me a book i had been keen to read 'for putting up with him for so long' as he put it, bless him! quite easy really

still no teeth here but all else seems fine, am still running every other day in the morning getting better and going further.

toilet is blocked...oh heck, plummers again i guess...

Hi All

Well this week i finally feel like the fog has lifted! not sure why but i feel a lot more well i guess content! I know i was a bit blue just after DD2 was born and i thought i was over it but this week i feel so much better! so i guess i wasn't! i think hormonally i'm more back to normal have had AF now first one since Sept 2004!

Have got to crack on and apply for a job that has come up at work, a permenant lectureship post.

DD2 has finally settled into nursery now and only gives a half hearted objection to being left and by the time i have hung her coat up she is smiling and playing with the other children. Her walking is coming on, she can now do around 10-15 steps and happily launches herself across the room! We were at a friends house, and she just kept letting go and heading for the hallway and stairs, she just looks so funny becuase she puts her hands above her head to walk! have put a photo on the june website for you all to see!

Love to everyone and apologies for the very me me me post!

Afternoon ladies

Katz / EYM glad to hear you're both feeling better, depression can be so debilitating and people find it hard to understand when they can't 'see' a physical problem, so good on both of you

SFX - well done keeping up the running - a bit more practice and you may still be able to go for the marathon he he he I have a friend who's got a place in the marathon twice now and each time she's had to loose the place due to pregnancy...I've told her to just admit she doesn't want to do it, much cheeper in the long run than all these kids as a subtle excuse

Bubb - woohoo on the weight loss, that's FAB and wow! for the earings, how lovely of them. So as a lady of leisure now are you going to be too busy to post because you're out lunching, at the salon, shopping, having your nails done...

Mumatuks lol, my ds also has had a quick lesson in sharing too

Muma - hope dd2 is feeling better soon, x

Katz - beautiful pics btw, and bless her for walking around with her arms up - I have a lovely image in my head and a daft grin now and the boss is wondering if I'm alright!

ohh talking pics, Bubb lovely one's of Oscar too, are they recent? Know what you mean about them not being babies anymore, when dd has her shoes and poncho on she looks so much like a girl and not a baby it's sad in a way mind you not sad enough to make me want 3!

Katz-Glad to hear you're feeling much better.
SFX-Great news about the running,but rather you than me,hee hee!
Tea-My first day as a SAHM and I'm already enjoying it.Went to a baby froup this afternoon,have another to go to on Thursday and busy meeting friends inbetween.Lunches would be good except I'm not eating anything.
By the way...the picture of Oscar in the swing was taken on sunday after we'd put it in the garden and the other one was taken about 3 weeks ago.
Katz-your pics are lovely!

Oh, loving the new pics of our little ones! I can't believe how far they have come, ds is 9 months tomorrow (and greetings to all the other 22nd Juners!)

I was showing ds his play gym today as we have to take it back to my SIL for the forthcoming arrival of the new baby. He used to adore nothing more than staring at the yellow elephant, for WEEKS literally. And now he was like "yeah, seen that, what else can I destroy?". How time marches on!

KVG... I'd love to come to the Northern Meet-Up! (back at home for me!! Any excuse to come up. )

Can I ask where the photo album is that some of you mention? I'd like to add a pick of babytuks if possible!

Hope you are all well, it's great to read the stories of other little ones the same age!

Oh and just a real saddo thought, have we got a baby for each day of June? We are the 17th. (I know I know, that's my reputation gone out the window! )

Mumatuks the album is \link{http://photobucket.com/albums/f268/junemums/\here}

Not sure about all the june dates, but we must have most...we're the 2nd (along with SFX's dd and...someone else - muma's dd3??)

They are all gorgeous photos! Thanks for sharing! If I can figure it out I promise to add a pic or two!

Shall we have an updated version of the original \link{http://www.phancy.plus.com/Junies.htm\Junie stats} showing baby dates for new and old Junies alike? Then we can be sure of wishing each baby a happy birthday on the right day!

trib thanks for update idea will email

tucks - thinks there is a password,'babies' i think but can't remember if that is needed to post photo.

just started 'negotiations' with HR at work about flexible hrs, my leave ends on 29/05 just days before dd birthday, must work something out to be home that day, am i the only one planning a little party?

take care all

dd's birthday is on the 2nd and ds/mil on the 16th so we'll be having a joint family do I think gosh I can't believe we're talking about 1st birthday parties already! The girl at work I'm covering for had her baby yesterday and it got me thinking this time last year.... all seems sooooooo long ago now and yet I remember some of it so clearly, ouch!
