May 2005 babies:Our babies are nearly toddlers [sad]

[SHHHH]

Thought I would start a new thread as the old one was getting long..!!!

Gald everyone seems to be doing so well. I'm really looking forward to Christmas, I think dd is going to understand it better this year and get very excited, it'll be great fun! Especially as I'm not cooking, we're going to SIL, and no washing up as she has a dishwasher.

Wow, haven't we gone quiet!!

Well, if anyone still reads this thread, I've finally given up breastfeeding 2 weeks ago DS2 went to bed without a feed, so I thought I'd try him again the next night, and the next and hey presto! we've given up!! Needless to say I'm pleased I was expecting tender fullish boobs, but haven't suffered in the slightes so I don't think he's been feeding properly for a while.

On a sadder note, we lost one of our dogs on Friday DH is in tatters, he found her when she was 3-4 months old and has had her since for the last 15 years. DS1 has taken it better than we thought, he has come to the conclusion that she has gone to be a guard dog for Jesus!! He asked Jesus to take care of her, and to feed her then added on the end 'but don't forget Jesus, she's MY dog, not yours'! Had to stifle a grin at that one!

Hope all mums and babies are well, and are all looking forward to Christmas xx

thought I'd killed the thread! Congratulations on giving up breastfeeding Maddison, glad it went so smoothly for you, but sorry to hear about your dog, our dog is almost 15 too and is showing her age this winter so I don't think she's got long, I worry about how dd will cope so its good to hear that your ds is ok with it.
DD is already loving christmas, she loves the 'lights' and 'pretties' everywhere and gets very excited has added 'nowman' and 'christmas' to her words! I think she'll explode with excitement when she gets presents too!
Happy Christmas everyone, I hope you all have lots of fun.

...I can't believe it was nov when I last posted.....
I have been around on mn although not as much as I would like to be. The computer is on the 3rd floor and im out of puff by the time I get to the 1st floor let alone the 3rd lol..!!! But tonight dh has set up the laptop so I am now in the dining room..!!

Its lovely thought to catch up with everyone. How are the other 2 oregnancies going..? Is it booge..??? She should have had baby by now and fpj's, how are you doing.?

Well I am now 35 weeks and even bigger than when I last posted. MW appointment before last had me measuring 2/3 weeks ahead but the last one 2 weeks ago saw me bang on although the mw thinks ds2b will be big . Also ds2b is lying back 2 back which terrifies me although the mw is not so concerned atm. I on the other hand am now a regular on my birth ball in a vain attempt. Must admit as well...I am now petrified. . Seemed such a good idea 8 months ago but now the birth is looming I don't think I can do it.

DD is coming along realy well and is now talking much more. Words she can says confidently include: Dadda, Mamma, Cat,Peepee (paper!!), pooossstt (Post!!) oh and the cutest is ssseeennttaa (Santa but sounds aussie like iykwim..!) She hasn't had her 18 month check yet but the hv is willing to do it when she come to visit the new baby at around a week old..so in about 6 weeks. I just hope dd does all she should be ding. LOL I said to dh last week : well mrs hv, DD can't eat independantly yet or this or that BUT she can brush her hair, use my hair tongs, apply eye shadow, apply lipgloss oh and wipe my floors with baby wipes very well..!!! . Its amazing how much she watches and learns from dh & i..!!

Christmas day was brill. We had gp's around for a few hours to see dd BUT then it was just us 3. Maybe offened my mum BUT I so wanted a peaceful time and with gp's around it would have been a day of brew making, tidying up and generally non relaxing.
DD loved the rocking fisher price zebra we got her and we also got her the m&p's thomas the tank ride on train. Takes up the lounge btw and is an accident waiting to happen but she loves it..!! I find it hard to lift her on and to depress the button while she rides it as she hasn't grasped the concept of holding the button down herslef yet so dh has to do it. A few curcits and he's knackered as well BUT she chants Choo choo..!!! So very cute.!
She also got 2 diff types of play homes..A little people one and one from elc (a boot) and I didn't think she would take to them but you know what, she loves them and sits and puts the dolls into one home and then into another. Shes a little girl now... I even depressed myself further on christmas eve while charging the video camera..on it was footage from last christmas when dd was around 7 months... She was still a baby..Just hope we are doing the right thing by having another as I don't want dd to feel pushed out or 2nd best iykwim..

How is everyone else.? How was your christmas.New year plans anyone.? Ours..........to sit on the couch and do nowt . xx
