August 2006 - one year on!

[sarahlou1uk]

new thread for all us 2006 girls!

wtf? i posted a huge long message a week ago and it's disappeared

snow, good to hear consultant seemed happy.

most of my missing message was for you and my preg brain can't remember what i said exactly so this will have to do....... {{{{{hug}}}}}

it's good that you're positive but don't be afraid to have a few bad days babe, you're entitled to them. email me if you want a (non-pitying) chat

Ah see pink, can always count on you to put a smile on my face
Feeling a bit more positive today, think its just the whole emotional rollercoaster you get stuck on. And the fact that i can't pick my boys up is driving me mad. But once i've got over the operation and get my head round it being a 'major operation' i'm sure i'll feel more like myself.

So hows the pg going? How far? And any ideas what this little angel will be? I predict a girl. So it'll be a boy no doubt. I'll get it right one day.....

Oh and i think it was hoppy who asked how i knew i was sick (hate saying that as i haven't felt it...) I had no idea. Had piles since having kids (oh joy) but the blood (tmi i'm sure) changed from bright red to dark. My doctor refered me for an endoscopy (not to be recommended without sedation!! ) and then they dropped the bombshell about 4 weeks ago now. So its been a bit of a blur. My dh keeps saying it went well yesterday, he listened, i was away with the fairies not taking anything in. More worried about being well for ds2s birthday in a few weeks.

Bringing me on to the next subject.... NEARLY TWO??????? How did that happen? Is it only me or has it flown by? I'm sure i gave birth a few months ago lol!

i know, i keep being so shocked at how big he is now, he's turned into a little boy instead of my little baby... sniff sniff. have no idea what to get him for his birthday as they already have every toy under the sun. we were planning a swing set for both of them but there might be a park going up literally across the street in our field so that would be a waste of money.

don't worry about not being well for his birthday sweetie, be grateful that it was caught and you'll get to be well for all his other birthdays he'll be too busy stampeding around the place to notice if mommy needs to sit down more than usual.

am 10 weeks tomorrow (or thereabouts.. irregular cycle as usual so who knows!).... am huge though tis very embarressing, have a playschool night out on friday and will have to tell everyone as it's so obvious.

haven't got an inkling yet about sex, normally takes me til later in the preg to guess. dp thinks boy. my dad will tell me though once he finds out, he's always right [spooky]

take it easy babe, they're big strong boys with legs of their own... you have years of cuddles ahead of you as long as you give yourself the chance to get well properly now

Oh we can see you are deffo preggers now! Making sure you don't lose the message this time? LOL!

10weeks? wow. i'm excited for you!!!! Another ickle baby to coo and cuddle. I'm settling for stealing my friends little baby (sorry meant look after lol!) and giving back when he poos/cries/wees/needs feeding.

I know, i'm going to go to the park tomorrow, a short walk up my road with AUst, my mum and in-law. Will be nice just being out. I must say the boys have been good, ds1 understands that i can't rush about and Aust is getting the hint too.

lol, internet crashed as i posted and i just presumed it hadn't gone through.

would still like to know where that other message went though. hope i didn't post it on another thread as i'm sure i saw it printed n the screen with emoticons and all so it has to be somewhere they need a pregnant emoticon for moments like this

park sounds lovely, hope you get better weather there than we've had here.... can't get outside with the kids for more than 10 mins at a time it's so windy and wet tis going to be a very long summer if this keeps up!

Weather wet and wild here too, dont think we're getting a summer here.

Snowboo, glad your op went well chick, just take it easy and rest as much as you can. Must be frustrating for you though but you got to follow doc's orders and as Pink said you got the rest of your life to do the cuddles etc. Am sure you'll make up for it

10 weeks is a quarter of the way Pink, cant believe your big already? And you thought Caleb was a big baby lol?

Talking of pg I haven't seen AF this month yet but think it could be delayed from going away - play havoc with my cycle.

Hope everybody else good x

Ooooo BHM! Shall we get excited yet??
I'm surprised theres not more of us announcing news. Of course, i won't be. Which helps in the battle with mil. She wants a pink one apparently. I can only give her blue...WTF????

Anyway, had a rough day with mil today, i ended up getting lunch for her....again, WTF!!!!!!!

Summer? That was a couple of weeks ago wasn't it? Blink and its gone....

oooo, shall i post you one of my cheapo tests BHM.... guilt free testing as they're so cheap fingers crossed for you, it was the month i was really unconvinced i was preg that i got my BFP

poor you dealing with your mil snow, thankfully i live 5 hours away from dp's mother and that suits me just fine can dh not have a word and tell her to behave as you're not well?

Ha ha you nutters! Thanks Pink but I've come on today! Although not trying was slightly gutted when I did Dh relieved though as we are struggling financially at mo with this flaming credit crunch. All the building has just stopped on his building site due to houses not being sold.

Your mil sounds delightful Snow?
Shouldn't she be treating you? I'd have had to say something, you need extra tlc babe.

hello everyone - where are you all? I am finally on holiday but have spent the first day trawlnig round the shops trying to find a bed and some bedroom furniture for dd - no luck so far! am full of cold but at least the sun is shining.
snow, how are you? and PT, are you ok?
hope everyone else is enjoying some sunshine too

Hey Olivo I could get used to this 6 weeks off malarki? Trying to plan lots of nice things to do and see with ds. Peppa Pig is a firm fave with ds at moment like your dd.

Hoping to get Jackson on the potty this week and do a poo or wee, feel like its going to be tough as haven't got a clue what I'm doing. Hope I have the patience

Off to Sea Life tomorrow on a family day out!

Jackson is making us laugh so much lately, today he pulled some cough medicine out of his nappy bag and brought it over to me and said 'Mommy, poorly cough' and gestured me to give him some even though his cough has gone lol. Think he likes the taste of it bless.

HI, BHM, the 6 weeks hols is grrrrreat, isn't it?! DH is off for a couple of weeks too so we've been having some well-deserved family time and also getting a few chores done.lol at Jackson and the medicine; my dd would take vitamin medicine fine but wouldn't touch the 2 weeks of ABs she had to have !
after a good couple of weeks with pooing and weeing on the loo, dd isnt bothered anymore but going to try big girl pants at the end of the holidays and see what happens! good luck to you too! we'll compare notes!
I just love it now that dd is putting sentences together; she is SO bossy (just like her mum !) and loves ordering us around and telling us everything she can see, it's hilarious!

Lol Olivo, bossy bugger here too. Is constantly shouting MOM for my attention only to show me one of his toys and the fact he knows what it is called like 'Yellow truck' or 'Mommy's car' - all his toy cars are named after people he knows.

Just been to the park and he had to say hello and goodbye to everyone we passed, quite amusing.

Does your dd grab your hand and take you to certain places in the house? Jackson keeps taking us to the sweety cupboard and asking for treats.

Well no success here in poty training, all ds wants to do is put his toys in it and empty them all out again. May try next week

Potty training?? SOd all that, i'm giving it a miss for a while. Austin keeps giving it a go but he won't use the potty, stands at the toilet which is proving a pain as it means i'm forever running up and down the stairs!!!! I'll wait a bit longer....

Saw oncologist, i don't need chemo so thats got to be good!!! so no hospital appts for 3 months YAY!!!!

Oops, comp going to crash so i'll finish off later....

Great news then Snow, hope your feeling better and taking it easy.

Jackson has done 2 wee's in his potty,YEAH!!!!!! so chuffed as yesterday kept sitting on it but nothing happening. Made big mistake of putting him in his highchair for his dinner yesterday without nappy on and he wet right through it so had to take it all apart and clean the thing. Was a massive wee too .
Today's findings are bit more than a dribble but its a start.

well done jackson! my dd has stopped performing on the loo but now asks to go, does nothing then almost immediately poos or wees in clean nappy ! may have go at real pants when we come home; we are away for two weeks as of monday so no point in going for it now.
good news on your treatment Snow, hope you are feeling ok.
well, i've decided to get "babyfit" ( she says with a glass of wine in her hand!) with a view to hopefully ttc later in the autumn. a couple of friends have recently had babies and i've become sooo broody again. dd was jealous as hell when she saw me holding them but she has a new cousin arriving in a couple of months so maybe she'll get used to babies!
is everyone enjoying the sunshine? dd launched herself into the sea today, fully clothed, taking me with her. she just LOVES swimming!

Lol Olivo at your dd she sounds like a real character! We've been soaking up the rays in my mom's back garden with a paddling pool for ds. We're off to a swim pool today with baby slides and wave pool, then lunching with my sister somewhere.
Good luck with tcc am sure it wont take long! We're trying next summer, really cant wait!

Hello you bunch of nutters

Snowboo, I had no idea you were poorly.
I hope your on the mend now. Good news about not having chemo

Pinky, how your bump coming on?

Come on BHM and Olivo, get yer sens up the duff will ya

Its really weird seeing you lot talk about having more babies and thinking about ttc and I've actually gone on, had another and he's now 8 months

Has anyone got their 2 year olds into a bed yet?
We put Ellis in his over a month ago now and all was ok to start with but now he has discovered his door handle and tbh, nights are hell.
I was unscrewing his door handle at 6am!

Lol NBG! For that reason we wont be converting to a bed just yet. He loves getting onto our bed but never sleeps in with us. Still in his cotbed, maybe think about a bed next year or when we have moved to a bigger place as cant swing a cat in his bedroom with our wardrobes in there.

Cant believe Ethan is 8 months already? talk about feeling left behind now lol . Come on Olivo your next, my turn next year ha! I got all broody yesterday munching a friend's 11 week old litle girl she was tiny, ds looked huge.

Well potty training is going well, Jackson is doing wee's and poo's now, still a way to go as haven't ventured out without a nappy on yet but its a start.

Hope everyone is well x

hello everyone! back ffrom 2 weeks in the Uk, nice but very tiring, dd didnt sleep through once and ended up sleeping with me most nights.
we are starting potty training tomorrow, she's been doing odds and ends on the loo and wearing feel and learn pants but we're going to go for real pants tomorrow and am planning to barely go out for the rest of the week. wish me luck......
we have bought dd a bed ( well, bunks but we'll only construct one for a couple of years!) for her birthday but we will pput it up when it is delivered and see of she likes the look of it. i'm in no rush to get her out of her cot bed but will definitely be putting a stair gate on her room! we are moving her to the spare room which is bigger; i have had such fuun buying girly things for it!
not ttc yet as i havent been well for a few weeks but i've started on my folic acid in anticipation! can't believe your ds is 8mo already NBG! how fast has that gone?!
hope everyone is well.

nbg..... stairgate the bedroom

caleb has been in a bed (read mattress on the floor) for a couple of months now and most nights he's fine.....some nights he's a tyrant but he's gated in and i just go up and make scary mommy noises when the noise leval interferes with tv sarah knows how to open the gate but also knows the consequences wouldn't be worth it so she won't open it for caleb!

bump is staying nice and small thankfully, i got a scare when it developed so quickly but it just seems to be rounding itself now.

baby all good, have had a couple of scans and everything looks fab. think it might be a girl again (help!)

caleb wants to be in 'knickers' all time but had yet to do a single pee or poo in the toilet he asks to go and tells me he's gone but nothing happens.

luckily he doesn't pee often and tell me when he has so it gets cleaned up so it's not too much hassle to have him in pants.

i have a house full of kittens atm...the cat i've been feeding moved in with her four 6 week old kittens so stress levels are through the roof!

glad you got the all clear snow.... really delighted for you

can't believe they're all 2 now (well almost all!)

Well Jackson hasn't done a poo in potty since last post and hasn't done wee in potty for few days so we have gone backwards .I think its because he's been in a nappy all weekend as been out at mom's caravan and we had a birthday bbq party for him so didn't want him to wee himself. So I haven't been consistent and probably confused the poor little man.

Have got big boy pants on him today and got 1 week left to try again before going back to work.

Great to hear bump is doing well Pinky, is it a feeling you have or is a little girl confirmed from scans?

Are our little ones all 2 yet? We got ds a pop up tent to play in, some Peppa Pig toys, Shrek toys, double sided easel and thomas tank first train set. So as you can guess my place is a mess .

Going to view a 2 bed house with a garden later today, so fingers crossed we like it as same rent we are paying for 2 bed apartment.

BHM - join the club - dd is back in pull ups after 4 days of seeming promising then getting bored of it all and weeing on the floor all day!she's gone back to nursery today so am hoping they may have some luck
my dd isn't yet two - thursday is the big day! i've got her a few little things but we are moving her into the spare room ,as its bigger than her room, so have spent quite a bit on 'things' and a new bed.
PT - good to hear things are well with the baby, hope you are feeling well too.
BHM - good luck with the house.
well, am supposed to be cleaning so i'd better get back to it......

I take it all back ! dd did all her wees and poos except one in the loo at nursery and was actually asking to go! they have said we can send her in pants next week!
