The 7th Broadly Gemini Luxury Bus - Now with highchairs!

[AGnu]

Old thread here

Bibs at the ready, things are about to get very messy!

Hello Thunder! How exciting! Take our advice and SLEEP lots NOW!! Go to bed alllllll weekend because you can

I'm wondering if we're any closer to seeing teeth. Baby pear has gone completely off solids this week. Chicken casserole was sort of tolerated but his usual porridge and apple this morning was thrown into the air whilst I tried to coach him to open his mouth

He's either teething badly or no longer likes puréed food. Is that possible because I wouldn't say we've had a particularly bad week with teething?

Kitten has a fish finger yesterday! Not really the type of food I'm used to giving but dd1 was adamant and was trying to eat them frozen and I just have into ease for both, she was surposed to have had tea at nursery but as soon as I picked her up she had a star biscuit shed made ( once it was given to her there would be no getting it back!) then she came and brought me her plate and I was like what's this for? She said fishfingers! Lol she had 2 with veg ate all then a full big pear, and wanted more I don't know what they give them there but it can't be much!

I don't think think thunder should rest, she needs to practice, I volunteer mine

Hi Thunder! What's your official due date? So exciting that you're feeling movements now - that's a really lovely phase... until they start to kick you at 3am & wake you up! Did you find out what you're having? Started thinking about names yet? It's all so exciting! I must point out though that, except for pear, I know roughly where everyone lives & I'm definitely the closest therefore I should get first dibs on babysitting for you to 'practice'! Will you be putting photos of Baby Rumble I like Rumble best Frus on facebook? I noticed a distinct lack of pregnancy updates... We neeeeed to know about every squirm to stave off our baby fever for a bit longer!

No raging fever here though... Although I do occasionally see a tiny baby & feel the need to point it out to DH with an "awww" to which I get a followed by "No." & a gentle hand guiding me away! I'm getting rather attached to the idea of having another one in 4ish years time... but only if it's a girl, otherwise I'd need to have another one to keep him company. I can envisage a girl being the baby of the family, adored & protected by her big brothers, but if we had a boy I'd worry about doing the same as my parents did with me & my 6 years younger sister. We were grouped as 'the girls' & treated pretty much the same which left me maturing much more slowly than my peers & her a lot faster! I think I'm overthinking this waaaay too much for something I'm not planning on having to do anything about for at least 3 years!
I'm insanely paranoid about getting pregnant now though but I've never used & am scared of I don't think I can use hormonal contraception until I'm done breastfeeding so I guess we'll just have to rely on condoms for now! If I do end up pregnant & it's a girl then DH will be off for a more... permanent... solution! He doesn't know this yet though!

It looks like we might not have a choice about how we do weaning. I've spent the last 2 months trying to convince Runt that he likes purees but so far all I've managed any success with is yoghurt or homemade pizza sauce! I tried him with a corn-cake last night & he devoured it! I had to hold it for him of course lazy boy but he quite happily sat there chomping at it until it was reduced to just a few soggy crumbs on my hand, the bib, the bumbo, the table...! He growled when I tried to take it away! I guess we're doing BLW now! I'm absolutely not doing it the same way as my friend who sits there gently rubbing her baby's back while she gags & then gives her more of the same & watches her gag on that too! She seemed to think it was a good learning experience for her...

hello hello lovelies!

Really nice to have such a warm welcome. So to answer your questions, my due date is 20th March, no we didn't find out the sex but its almost certain it'll be a boy and pear if you were in a position to make the most of sleep whilst pregnant, you had an easier pregnancy than me! I'm not a great sleeper anyway so am very used to being awake a lot of the night like Thursday when I was awake from 2.30am niccceeeeee

And I'm not sure I have a lot of spare time for baby practice I'm afraid, in the past 3 months I've sold a house, got married, working full time, had honeymoon, gone through migraine/vomiting phases and now buying another house.... its keeping me knackered busy

I'll put a pic up on the secret group page if all is well with Rumble (or should it be wileykit?) but I'm not one for general announcements on facebook - I think i am just very sensitive about that sort of thing, particularly after finding other people's announcements so painful after mmc.

You've got married thunder and we've not seen the pictures for shame young lady!!!
Can't believe you've done all that whilst pregnant you crazy lady
Agnu dh will get the snip, he'd do it now but I'm adamant he won't get it til he's atleast 40 and I feel the same as you about hormone things while bf, my mum keeps reminding me about not getting pregnant though, atleast once a week and how she got pregnant bf, I'm like ok mum!
Maybe I can join you in 3 years Agnu if I havnt regained sence

kitty I haven't seen the pictures either!
Could maybe put one that my mum took up on the FB group though....

Yes please!! X

I didn't sleep well whilst pregnant but now in hindsight that to me would now be a lot a lot of sleep! Hindsight is a wonderful thing though Thunder FX you have a sleeping baby! There are lots out there unless the mums are lying

Gave baby pear a slice of pear to munch on before spoon feeding porridge at tea and he seemed happier and more content. Can't believe you're on fish fingers already!! How are we so behind

Awww! Welcome, welcome thunder! We are all living vicariously through your sweet baby kicks now. I miss them!

You've been a chatty bunch! It took me a bit to catch up with everything. Don't have much time right now due to my elder kids trying to kill each other and DH being clueless about helping with dinner.... I'll post again later!!

Lol, undercooked bacon, frusso? eww.

We're trying babyled... She was gung-ho about the finger foods last week and this week she just smears the avocado/sweet potato/steamed apple/chicken all over the tray. You're not behind pear babies are all different. B'jesus agnu that's definitely not BLW...

That's a good idea frus I think I might start sending them both outside of the door into the 2 feet of snow and 15 degrees that feels warm after dealing with below zero

Pear you do similar to me, kitten loves both spoon fed and doing it herself, I sometimes worry I'm giving her too much as I think shed happily eat all day as always stops crying if I give her a bread stick to munch or if I'm feeding her god forbid it runs out, she squeels and gets really cross,she eats textured really well and she is really good with bread sticks but did gag on a fish finger and has with a rice cracker as she put the whole thing in her mouth, should I not be giving it to her then? She didn't choke just coughed and out it came but I thought that that did happen and I don't give her finger foods unless I supervise, am I the bad choke mum??
She hasn't actually refused one food or one spoonful for that matter lol

I don't really understand the whole gagging thing. Being a first time mummy I'm quite nervous about the whole choking thing and would probably sit patting like Agnu's friend

I don't do straps either and usually you can pop your finger in and scoop out if Theresa big price of something, I've never panicked as I though that itwas part of them Learning what to do and she's never put off it but you've got me thinking I shouldn't now? Should they not ever choke/gag? I mean obviously they shouldn't but should you not let them try if it does happen?
