August 2006 - one year on!

[sarahlou1uk]

new thread for all us 2006 girls!

oooh, dreamy, you must let us know how it goes for your dd - best of luck to her
i am SO broody at the moment. read the thread on here about the dh that doesnt want a baby - that could be me; dh doesnt want another although he is a bit less adamant than he was 6 months ago, so here's hoping!

nbg - cant believe you are so close; how are you feeling?all is well here; dd full of naughtiness and cheekiness but very sweet nad great at nursery. work is busy; we have an inspection in 2 weeks so lots to do.
hope everyone else is wel x

Lol Olivo at being broody it must be catching as I often have days where I'm broody and days where I say NO WAY!

Jackson is refusing potatoes, meat, veg at the moment and only wants to eat cheese, fruit, yoghurt and anything sweet little monkey! he also refuses to sit down i the bath .
He is very cheeky and does things all the more if we say No and runs away with our phones or remote controls lol. He climbs onto our settee and runs across it then gets down in a superman stylee . Oh and he now nods his head for yes but seems to shake his whole body instead of just his head.

He is booked in for his MMR a week on Monday, anybody elkse had their lo's done yet? Feels scary!

Hows' everybody and their lo's doing? Any funny stories?

Joe refuses to sit in the bath too infact he refuses to sit anywhere, he'd rather be on the move!

Is anyone still bf their little monsters? I stopped bf in the day and just fed on night-time waking. But I've not bf at all for a few days. Now the cheeky monster has just climbed on me and helped himself!

Hi everyone. Molly booked in for her MMR next Thursday BHM - not that worried, Jack was fine afterwards when he had his. I'd rather she had the jab than caught the mumps or whooping cough.
Hope everyone else ok.

Bath times - I bought one of those seats that you put in the bath. Molly loves hers but Jack not soo keen - it means that whenever they have a bath he gets splashed! My bathroom floor is sodden when Molly is in the bath. Going to take her swimming soon once I pluck up the courage to get into my costume!

Hello everyone,

Not been here a while - been a bit busy, would you believe! dd started walking 1 month ago, and a couple of days ago, started climbing the stairs. We had a double party weekend, my 30th (again) on Saturday, and my ds' 7th on Sunday - we had 15 of his schoolfriends round for a house party, and it's enough to say that I hadn't realised just how well-behaved my ds was!

dreamy - are you a grandma yet?

nbg - how's the pg going?

BHM and Beelzebug - the refusal to sit in the bath thing - my dd did it for about 2 months when she was around 10 months old - we finally persuaded her to sit by giving her a bath duck, and also putting her in the big bath when ds was in it. She fell in love with the duck and carried it everywhere with her for a while.

I've not been swimming with her yet - I don't swim so good, so it's not been a natural pasttime of mine. I sort of envy people who like it and take their LO's when they're tiny. It would be a real effort for me to do that.

I'm still bf, Beelzebug! Once in the morning, once for nap time, sometimes in the pm, and then bedtime. dd STILL wakes a couple of times in the night, but am now doing CC with her (started Monday). I resisted doing it for ages, saving it for a last resort, but I'm relieved that she's not actually getting too upset, maybe because I'm doing it with knobs on - I recite 'go to sleep Upsy Daisy' etc from 'In the Night Garden' which she loves, whenever I go in to comfort her every 5 mins (she stops crying immediately when I'm there). She protests when I leave the room, but last night, she only awake in her cot for 25mins before she fell asleep on her own, and she then slept for 7 hours together! (a record for her). Maybe one day, she might even sleep through!

Hiya Hoppy, nice to hear your lo is doing well and sounds like she loves her brother too bless! Envy all the ladies who are still bf, thats a great achievement you know!

Sarahlou my floor is soddened during bathtime too and whatever I'm wearing lol.

At the moment ds has a cold and keeps wiping his nose all on me so got trails of glisteneing snot all down my top, good job its an old one

Its a lovely day here today so going to go for a nice walk over the park and feed the ducks. I keep saying 'quack' to Jackson and =he repeats after me but sounds like he is saying 'cock'

Check out my profile I've added some more recent pics of ds

how gorgeous is Jackson!! he's soo cute!
good to hear how everyone is getting on.
hoppy and BBug, i'm so envious of you still bf - i stopped just after 7 mo as i had to go back to work but i wish i'd carried on longer.
my dd is really wearing me out, she just doesn't stop in the day and has all but dropped her naps; she has about 30 mins in the afternoon. she's so sweet though, and loves reading and big kisses!!
i'm trying to get her to drink milk out of something other than a bottle in the morning but so far she has rejected everything . any tips?
we have an inspection in school next week so i'm working really hard but the thought of our holiday in 3 weeks is spurring me on!
hope everyone else is well.

Hiya all, No we are still awaiting the imminent arrival of Kaitlyn who is due on the 9th which is my mums birthday too. My daughter is doing the whole eating pineapples and going for walks which I remember doing last year. Cant believe how quickly the year has gone Im so looking forward to xmas this year too anyone got any good suggestions for presents for our little darlings?

Thanks Olivo! He doesnt sleep much during the day either but luckily has a good 12 hrs at night. We are lucky if he has longer than hf hr. I have started putting him in his cot around 12pm and usually he will drift off.

Dreamy must be soo exciting waiting for your 1st grandchild, hope she labours soon.

Jackson had a hysterical crying fit last night as I was leaving for work, he has never done this before, it was loud screaming and he was crying so much his facewent blotchy and he couldnt catch his breathe at first I thought something was wrong with him but after I took him for his bottle he calmed down. Felt awful leaving him but he's fine today must be sep.anxiety kicking in.

Olivo - Molly drinks her milk from a cup with a straw. You should see her suck it up! Tried her with cups with those holes in the lids - went everywhere! Seems to like the straw so sticking with it. Plus she can copy her big brother when he has a drink!

Ah BHM, your pics of Jackson are gorgeous! I really can't believe how they have all grown up! I realised yesterday just how heavy Austin is....madness.

Am i the only one who has become addicted to facebook? I can't manage anything else as i'm on it constantly! (well, when Ausitn has his morning naps, when the kids are in bed, when dh is out....) I've turned into a saddo....

Olivo, Austin also uses the straw and he has his own little cup with two handles which he finds ok. Well he did ubtil yesterday when he discovered how to spray the contents of his mouth everywhere, hope thisgame doesn't last too long....

thanks for your tips, folks. will try and get a straw one tomorrow. saw a cow cup mentioned on here so she is using one of those sometimes and she has recently learnt to use a straw in a carton (serves me right for not letting her have juice - yesterday, she found my smoothie carton and helped herself!!) still having a bottle morning and night though as she won't take milk from anything else.
have had a stressful week but inspection is over so can relax! just enjoying a large glass of wine or two...

ps - snowboo - is that a 'normal cup ( ie - wihout a lid?) if so, can i ask where you got it?

Hi all

Lol at facebook addiction Snowboo I am on there too try not to spend much on there but it just kind of drags you in and before you know it your throwing sheep or poo at random people! I'm sad too.

Olivo, ds still insists on his morning & night bottle of milk but drinks from spouty cup during the day for his juice.

Went for interview this week for a part time admin job andd guess what I got the job! Cant believe it! Have got to find a nursery though as nobody seems to be free to have him on Tuesdays so bit gutted about that but am sure he will love being with the other kids, he doesnt want to know me at playgroup when he gets there as too interested in the other boys & girls, he actually made 2 of them cry last week because he kept wanting to kiss them and pulling them towards him for a smacker bless.

Any news Dreamy??

Wonder how NBG is doing? Haven't seen her on here for ages? Mind you I dont come on here that much due to ds tugging me for attention if I'm on here.

Hows everyone else doing?

Well done BHM for getting the job! I'm just waiting for my results from my reflexology exam I took 3 weeks ago. They did say it would be a minimum of 1 month before we would get them but I can't start advertising until I know for sure I have passed!
Molly had MMR last week and has started with a cold this week which I am putting down to side effects as Jack was the same when he had it 3 years ago. she also brought all her breakfast back (with the calpol I had just given her) and has now started doing the most disgusting bottom burps, so much so that I have to keep checking that she hasn't filled her nappy! Oh the joys!

well done BHM - and i bet ds will love nursery. my dd does - sometimes, she doesnt want to come home!
i'm off work today, my IBS has really flared up over the last few weeks and today i just couldnt stop visiting the loo ( sorry, TMI!)
i think its a stress related thing as i have had a tingling nose for weeks too, which someone has told me can be a symptom of stress! was hoping to get some rest but there is a large concrete mixer next door which is not quiet!
dreamy - any news?
nbg - how are you?
sarahlou - fingres crossed for your results - let us know!hope everyone else is well.

Hi girls. Still no news. Poor thing is totally fed up. Went for sweep on friday and has tried every trick in the book She gets niggledy pains for a few hours and then they ease off. She is due to be induced at 7.30 tuesday morning and midwife who did the sweep told us it could be a long haul Im desperately hoping something anything kicks in for her before then she is really nervous of being left in labour on the ward on her own tuesday night as we have been told we will have to go home at 8pm if nothing much happening. Her bf is really nervous too Hope I can be a strong support for them both but will probably cry at having to leave my grown up little girl in pain alone too have had her bouncing on her ball walking eating curries and pineapple all week and have sent her to bed to do nipple tweaking. Will keep you all posted

oh dreamy, i hope things start off before then for her (a glass of champagne did the trick for me but that was not a medical recommendation!!) good luck - i'm sure you'll be a huge support to her, whatever happens.
BHM - when do you start your job? good luck!

OMYGODIVEMISSEDYOUGUYS!!!!!!

have only scanned through as in my dads shop and he's being nosy

Luna, I'm so sorry bout you mom babe {{{hugs}}} how are you going without dp?

Caleb is huge and has turned into such a little boy, he's fighting back against sarah now so the 2 of them are covered head to toe in bruises and he's been running around since the week before his birthday so i'm shedding pounds by the day running after them both!

we love our new area, gorgeous little country almost a village and very friendly but unfortunately broadband just doesn't exixt there the withdrawel symptoms are chronic!

going to try and read through a bit more now before i get booted off the pc..... pray for internet providers so i can come back propely!

I PASSED MY EXAMS - I AM NOW A FULLY QUALIFIED REFLEXOLOGIST!!!!!!!
YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done Sarahlou!

Hi Pinky great to hear your all well and settling in your new place, bless you having withdrawals, I'd be the same lol. Get some more pics of your lo's we need an updates.

Olivo, I dont actually know yet when I start it might be next week or week after am just waiting for their letter to confirm everything. Making the most of my freedom as we speak, a nice lie-in tomorrow me thinks Hope your IBS has cleared up!

Fingers crossed for your dd Dreamy, hope she labours before inducement, am sure you'll be a fantastic support to them both, look at your experience? Best of luck

Jackson had his MMR and Pneumococol (sp?) today and had bit of a temperature but was such a brave bvoy diodnt cry bless him.

Hope everyone is good too x

hello pinky

well done sarahlou and bhm, and sending good vibes to your dd, dreamy.

i don't seem to get on here very often now. ds runs about everywhere but still no talking!

i have finally finished my degree so can read whatever i like now. before i always felt guilty picking up a book that wasn't OU.

ds has become very clingy. when i'm going out to work he cries terribly and when i come back he holds onto my legs for ages. he wasn't clingy at all 'til a few weeks ago. is anyone else having the same problem?

RS - molly is the same, very clingy recently. Has now got a full on cold which I put down to the MMR as Jack was the same. Woke up this morning at 5am as she was being sick but it was phlegm off her chest. Ended up sitting downstairs on the sofa with her watching crap on tv until gmtv came on!
