August 2006 - one year on!

[sarahlou1uk]

new thread for all us 2006 girls!

Hi twintastic, I do remember you, how are you? Sounds like your lo's are adorable, bet its great because they can play with each other. I'd love twins! Good luck with ttc, we're trying next year.

Olivo, your dd sounds very girly bless her! Think we'll be getting some of the disney dvd's as Jackson is mesmorised when they are advertised lol.

We've had to change nursery for ds as we've had a few incidents we were not happy about. Hopefully ds will love his new nursery.

Ds constantly wants our attention so dont get much time on here lol. Is still not pooing on potty yet but knows he wants a nappy on beforehand which is good.

He knows santa is coming soon and is getting really excited with all the xmas adverts on and knwoing we are putting the tree up soon. I cant wait!

Hope everyone is well x (and come on girls lets keep this thread going as its gone really quiet!)

i remember you too twintastic! good to hear from you and nice to hear that Matthew and Sarah are doing well.

BHM,sorry to hear yuo've had nursery hassles, hope jackson settles in well at his new one. I'm really excites about christmas too, as dd is already taking notice of christmassy things. weve booked to take her to the panto on boxing day - cinderbella, her favourite!
she is really girly, i'm fed up of watching cinderbella and sleeping beauty but its so cute to see her singing and dancing along, always dressed up!!

everyone else ok?

Lol Olivo, its Shrek-mania here!

My mom has bought ds a cowboy outift to dress up in for xmas - cant wait to see him in it.

Jackson ate stew and dumplings tonight yeah its the first time in ages he has tried something new, I couldn't believe it!

Forgot to mention Jackson had his first pets - 2 goldfish lol - called them 'nemo' and 'dolphin' (ds named them), he makes me laugh as he says goodnight to them and waves at them bless.

Made me laugh earlier by coming up to me and asking 'Mommy, whats the matter?'

Don't get me started on Disney or shrek or care bears or rainbow brite or my little pony. We have found loads of old videos and family have donated lots of DVD's as ice mentioned before cj is dressing up crazy I blame the GP's she got four Halloween costumes

On a good note I have a job 16 hours a week in a concession in new look so am very happy plus my divorce should be thru for my bday in 4 weeks so will have a wicked xmas as I will be able to get people a few bits rather than the nothing I was gonna be able to afford.

Cj starts a new nursery two days a week on Monday so should be good for her as I hate mum and baby groups but saying that I did enjoy my bibs group and I'm finding it a bit hard at the month as they are all on there second pregnancies and I'm the only one on here and there that has separated from their partners.

Have decided men are evil any way apart from Daniel Craig who I am going to marry !!!

Good on ya girl for getting a job! Its so hard to get work at moment with the evil credit crunch!

We should all post a pic of our lo's in their dressing up gear, see how much they've grown up. Ds loves wearing my boots and any odd shoes he can find

Sounds like your divorce will be a great help this side of xmas and you sounds really positive about it all.

Lol at marrying Daniel Craig, I'm hoping to have a nice dirty dream about him tonight as off to see the new bond film with DH later, heard he doesn't get his kit off though! (boo)

Hi ladies! Just popping to see how we all are....
Austin has a burst eardrum (6th time!) and hand, foot and mouth. So we're at the doctors once a week which is great. After everything the last place i wanna spend my days is sitting in the doctors lol! I phone in the morning then they call back, i should get a hotline direct!!!!
Any news on Pinks? Haven't spoken to her for a while.
Hope all others are good
xx

Hi All Just popped in to let you all know Im expecting again Thats right baby number 8 on the way due 16th june Im so excited. Sophie-Jane is such a sweetie and hasnt given us too many temper tantrums My granddaughter is now 1 and is adorable Hope everyone is well sorry to hear Austin has had such a bad ear problem snow sounds like he needs to see ear nose and throat specialist

hey, dreamy, congratualtions! I am envious, we have just begun ttc no 2!
hope everyone is well - are your los getting into the christmas thing? dd is scared of father chrisstmas but is hoping she will get a pink princess castle as a present ( and she may well!)She loves the lights and singing etc - can't wait to go to her nursery nativity play!
I am still unwell - its gone on for about 6 weeks now - 2 lots of antibiiotics, lots of early nights and several sessions of acupuncture haven't worked, am totally fed up. daren't take any omre time off work as i am so behind already!
sorry to winge!!

thanks olivo. Sorry to hear youve been so poorly I had flu a couple of weeks ago and the cough and bunged up nose are taking forever to clear I know there is a lot of gastric flu about at the moment spent half of last night up with my daughter age 5 being sick. Sophie-Jane is getting very excited about santa too we were hoping to get rid of her dummies but shes having none of it and I dont want to scare her off santa by suggesting he is going to take her dummies.

omg dreamy.... well done and good luck you mad brave woman

hope it all does smoothly, your dp must be delighted, i remember you saying he was keen on having another.

all good here.... i keep losing this thread for some reason! been driving loads and vey much enjoying the freedom i have now i can get out and about without needing to be chauffered.

caleb is becoming a bit of a monstor... think we're hitting the terrible 2's now! lots of whinging and argueing and stubborness but he manages to be so cute when he's doing it i can't help but laugh some of the time!

dd is doing great too, very excited about xmas and the new baby and her birthday (think they're all merging into one huge event in her mind bless her!). we're going to bring them to santa today at the craft fair near my parents so she's madly excited!

i'm huge... although thankfully huge bump wise and not just fat and blubbery like with caleb as i've been sick so much and had so many bugs recently i've not been piling on the pounds like i did with him. baby is as awkward as the other two though, feet lodged permanently in my ribs and occasional attempts to reenact the scene from aliens!

thank god i had the kids presents sorted really early, dp has been off work sick and we've no money coming in for several weeks.... xmas looks like it's going to be a bit sparse not counting the kids presents.... ho hum

great to hear from you P42 aka twintastic.... i did wonder if you were still about the place. glad the twins are doing well... if you have a singleton next though you won't know what to do with yourself it'll seem so quiet

Thanks pink its so lovely to here from you again How much longer have you got till new baby arrives? Do you know what youre having? Sophie-Jane has hit the terrible twos also lots of winging and saying no to everything cant get her off her dummy at all either

well seeing as my dd has only just given her dummy to santa this week i haven't even thought about trying to prise caleb away from his til next year..... lord knows i think he'd bite my hand off if i tried to take it

don't know for sure what the baby is but i have a feeling it might be a boy. no idea why really, just 'feels' like a boy and i always seem to say 'he' rather than she.

due feb 4th so hopefully i can boot him out a bit early with my cumin tea like i did with caleb ... really not enjoying this preg any more than i did the others and the thought of going over petrifies me. Xmas is going to be bad enough... i was at the same stage of preg with dd and i didn't have any other kids to lok after and xmas that year half killed me..... not sure how i'm going to cope this year with 2 toddlers as well

snow, missed your post about austin's eardum... how's he doing now? poor thing must be miserable. how are you doing? taking it easy i hope? [stern look]

Wow Dreamy, Congratulations to you both! My nan had 9 children and it was always a full house of fun there when I was growing up.
Lovely to hear from you and glad your all well.

Sorry to hear some of you aren't very well and hope Austin gets better soon, poor little man! Its horrible to hear of little ones getting poorly.

Cant believe your nearly due Pinky?? How quick has the time gone? Imagine this time next year when you'll have 3 little ones xmas will be fab and crazy!

Jackson is getting stroppy when it comes to getting dressed and leaving the house. Its like the Benny Hill Show trying to get his clothes on he has me running all over the place.
But he is really loving and is talking so much now which makes me laugh. He comes over to me and asks 'Mommy whats the matter?' and is really interested in the Argos catalogue toys section. He is very independant and whats to do everything himself, gets easily frustrated if he doesn't get his own way.

We're going to see Santa tomorrow at a big family xmas lunch where Santa arrives and brings kids presents, then plays games and stuff with them. Hope he doesn't scare him lol.

I went for an interview last week for a GTP course to teach music and they have accepted me so will start next September, very scared and excited about it.

Hope everyone has a fantastic xmas and happy new year x

Thanks Bighot mama and congratulations with your course. Jackson sounds adorable. Sophie-Jane has conjuctivitis at the moment and its like wrestling with a crocodile after the initial chase through the house to catch her just to get her eye drops in Benny hill eat your heart out Its been lovely to catch up with you all again and hope everyone has a fantastic xmas. We are off to Birmingham today to visit dps family and my step daughter from previous relationship. Really shouldnt go as SJ not very well but dp hasnt seen his family in a while and its his fathers 71st birthday on xmas eve so would feel a right pig for not going will just have to keep bathing her eye.

hello again everyone. a bit of news from me - i got a BFP a couple of days ago. Very early i know, as my AF was only due today, but please all keep your fingers crossed for me. I feel sick as a dog and very dizzy a lot of the time - had forgotten what it's like!
On holiday now so running round after dd - she has so much energy!! she is lovong the whole christmas thing except being scared of the man in red so we can't mention him!!

BHM - congrats on your GTP acceptance. i wish you luck. it's exhausting but so rewarding!

how is everyone else?

Oh WOW Olivo, fingers crossed sounds like the real thing, thats fantastic news, bet your so chuffed!

thanks BHM. i am very chuffed , but petrified at the same time! had forgotten how you obsess over every little twinge.

congratulations Olivo oooo how exciting Im nearly 15 weeks now due in June and am just starting to get over the morning sickness Hope everything goes well for you just try and rest as much as possible over these early weeks

just dropping by to wish everyone a merry christmas. Hope you and your los have a fantastic time. x

congrats olivo

(was that your thread a few days ago perchance with the namechange? did wonder if it was one of our lot when i saw the older childs age.)

hope it all goes well for you, make sure to take it easy, pregnancy is a whole differant experiance with an older one to deal with... but very much worth it

thanks pink. i hope you are feeling ok, not long now for you.

6 weeks seems like forever to feel this sore and tired tbh but hopefully it'll fly by.

am still pinning my hopes on this one being a little early like dd and caleb were, stupid i know as it's bound to be 2 weeks over just because i'm hoping for that!

when are you due? september is it?

hope everyone has a very merry xmas and all our toddlers get what they want from santa (if they're as easily pleased by shiny things as my fella should be easy enough!)

we really should start a new thread for the new year, 'one year on' is getting a bit outdated

ahem, due on dd's birthday at the end of august [ oops! )fingers crossed for you for at least an on-time arrival! you must be shattered with 2 little ones to run around after!
well, think i've cracked it - dd told me this morning that she would like FC to bring some pink cinderella and sleeping beauty things - phew!!
