August 2006 - one year on!

[sarahlou1uk]

new thread for all us 2006 girls!

Same here too RS, Jackson very clingy and hates being put down starts screaming and moaning, even sometimes he will lay on the floor as if having a tantrum? I have to attempt to sneak out nowadays lol

Sarahlou, ds is feeling bit yukky after MMR jab too, he's off his food, his poo is like diarrhoea and constantly grumpy and wanting to be held? His eyes went really dopey yesterday amd today his nose has been bit drippy and bit of phlegm on chest, cant believe how its affecting him. At least our lo's can have a rest from jabs now for a while, poor little babas

hi everyone - just dropping in to say 'well done' sarahlou - wish you lived near me, my reflexologist has been of sick for ages - i miss her!

we're off on holiday tomorrow - a week in madeira so have been furiously packing - 3/4 of the things are dd's, of course!

dd hasnt had her mmr yet but i'm not looking forward to it. she's having her pneumococcal next month so will probably leave mmr till after christmas. hope your los get better soon.

see you in a week or so!

Have lovely time Olivo you lucky girl

Jackson had pneomococcal and mmr at same time but in dif legs? No wonder he feels like crap! got a slight rash now too

Hi everyone!

Well done on your reflexology Sarahlou!

dd is due for both her MMR and pneumococcal, but I've not actually signed up with a GP since we moved to our new area. I remember having the MMR myself before we TTC last time, as I hadn't had a rubella jab. I got a rash on my face and chest, swollen glands (which lasted for weeks), painful joints and a severely swollen knee for a week. ds got his booster at the same time and didn't have any side effects at all!

Rattle, BHM and Sarah - yes, my dd is certainly clingy, particularly in the evenings, but she does have another tooth coming through. Not looking forward to her having the jabs.

Hi Pinky! Wondered where you'd gone! My two don't fight but my ds does encourage dd to do naughty things, like climbing up the ladder to his cabin bed We tell him to remove his ladder and put it on top of his bed when he gets up in the mornings now, which he has been doing, thankfully. Would be quite a drop if dd fell off, as it's about 4ft off the ground.

i've got them both at home this week as it's half term! Those with kids who are usually at school will appreciate what a wonderful and special time half term is at this time of the year!

Ok where is everybody? Its been a week since anybody posted?

Hoppy, am sure your dd will be fine with her jabs. My HV who did the jabs rang up after a week to check how ds was which I thought was a nice gesture.

I have booked ds into nursery for 1 day a week starting wednesday as starting my new pt job, reckon I'll get all teary . Have loved being a sahm but we need the extra cash especially for xmas.

What is everyone getting their lo's this year???? Need ideas

hello! ds has started having tantrums. i called in to a small supermarket just to get a few things and i shouldn't have - he was tired and hungry. he walked around holding my hand but then we had to wait a while at the checkout nad he started to fall to the floor, screaming and rolling around. then he got up and began to grab what he could off the checkout and throw it as far as possible. i suppose i'm going to get a lot more of this for the next year, lol.

bhm, one idea i have for a present so far is the aquadraw thingy. good luck with the new job too.

Awww Rattle pmsl at the tantrum! ds has done it a few times but in the house I think I'd wet myself if he did it in the supermarket. I think they get very frustrated at this age dont they? If I take something off ds that he shouldnt have he drops to his knees and headbutts the floor then screams and has real tears lol.

Also he has taken to hitting mer in theface and slapping my chest, its a wonder I havent got a black eye the little bugger! keep telling him No but he thinks its funny??

I like the look of the aquadraw...no stains Thinking of getting a mini kitchen and that bounc'n'spin zebra, my sister is getting him a mini trampoline with the bars on. I'm so excited to see his little face.

Job went well thanks, missed ds so much that I couldnt put him down when I got back, felt so guilty.

Oooooooh hello everyone!

I have to be honest and admit that I have forgot a bit about our thread but just remember I am pg

Am 37 weeks tomorrow (thank god!), large and in agony lol.
MW is coming to deliver my home birth stuff this week I think and tomorrow I start sniffing clary sage

Ellis is a little love now. Although he is a complete mummies boy and takes it to the extremes.
The only people he will go to are me, dh and my mum.
I cannot shut him behind the baby dan gate thing because he screams until he is sick also I cant leave him in a room on his own even for seconds.
He's walking beautifully, saying mama and his favourite thing which is Car . He also has a jellycat bunny which he has to have to go to sleep and stinks to high heaven and he calls that Ba or baby.
Having a bit of a bad time with his last few teeth atm. They have all decided to come at the same time but he has a full set now . I've been woken up to a cot full of diaorreah one morning and vomit the next! All because of the acid on his stomach

Anyway, enough of me rabbling.

Pinky great to see you back! I've been chatting with Melsy and Booby (now known as dressedup) and saying where were you!
You need to badger NTL or someone to set up broadband near you!!!!!
Lots of love to you all.

Olivo, of your holiday. Hope your having/have had a great time.

Dreamy, hows your dd doing? I havent seen a BA on here.
Has she had baby yet and if so lets have the details!

Sarahlou, well done on your graduation
What are you planning to do with it? Go freelance or work in a salon?

BHM, have you got a new job? What you doing? Are you still singing?

Rattle, hows your little one doing now?

Oh btw, I kind of have a new job in that I've taken up making jewellery
I've got a little shop on mumzmall called Applejack Jewellery. So have a look and get some lovely xmas pressies
I'm adding some more bits this week hopefully

just a quick hello everyone- our internet has been down since the weekend so am sneaking on at work!
our holiday was a bit of a disaster - dd took ill at gatwick (we had an overnight stop over) and was admitted to hospital in East Surrey (?) overnight. it was a viral infection, she was so floppy and drowsy, it was scary. she is totally fine now though and we still managed to get 4 days of our holiday.
NBG -cant believe you're nearly there - good luck in case it all kicks off before i get back online!
BHM - hope work /nursery has gone ok.
Dreamy- news?
all your los sound delightful (lol at tantrum, Rattle -will look out for you next time i'm shopping ). my dd throws spectacular tantrums too and is so loud!! she has a few words - mama, dada, baby and 'da' (that, i think!) she has a wicked sid james kind of laugh and refuses to go anywhere in the buggy now - it takes hours to get anywhere!
hope everyone is ok, sorry if i missed anyone.see you soon!

Hey everyone! Look what I found here!!

Ha, Olivo, my dd also does the Sid James laugh! Luckily, no full-blown trantrums as such, but lots of protests, squirms, running away and general non-cooperativeness during nappy changes! Also no words yet, although she does nod for yes and shake head for no, but does talk in her own language plenty.

Wow, nbg - 37 weeks already! I can't believe it! And amazed that your ds has full set of gnashers already. My dd really complains about her teething - has nine so far. The main things she does with it is multiple wakings in the night and unpleasant nappies - heh, when are they that pleasant anyway . Your poor LO and the cotfulls of nastiness, though.

bhm - how's the job/nursery going? I know what you mean about needing the extra £££.

My ds is about to lose one of his front teeth - been hanging by a thread for days now. Can't believe that he's growing so fast!

Hi NBG bet your ready to curst bless. Great to hear how you and the lo's are doing. Ellis sounds like a darling, I wish ds was a mummy's boy but he will go to anybody except my sister's dp for some bizarre reason? I think its his big bushy eyebrows .

I got a new pt job just doing office admin for 2.5 days per wk. Its been a bit of a shock to my system getting up so early and have been so tired on evenings am sure I'll get used to it lol.

Jackson was fine at nursery Hoppy & Olivo, thanks for asking. Only bad thing is that he didnt eat much so he ended up drinking 15 oz of milk on his last bottle before bedtime , he's become so fussy with his food.

I have sent off my app forms for a GTP course next Sep 08 so fingers crossed for me girls, I'd love to become a teacher.

Olivo that must have been so scary with your dd falling ill like that? How is she now?

Lol at the Sid James laugh lo's

Ds' fave word now is "dada...gone?" He always says it when dh leaves the house for work bless, but at the moment everything is 'gone' even when he finishes his bottle ha he says "gone?".

I wish they could stay this age its so lovely isnt it.

Hope everyone else doing well x

Oops NBG that should read 'burst'

Awwwwwww BHM at "dada gone". Thats so lovely

Hoppy, thanks for the link to dreamys dd's announcement. Bless her.

Olivo, hope dd is ok now. That must have been frightning for you all.
You'll just have to go and book another holiday now

I think my son is related to Michael Jackson as he has started doing some major dance moves since yesterday....he normally bounces to music but yesterday he started doing a fast jig step thing and then did a bit of a moonwalk going backwards lol, and today he is doing a full spin on the spot really fast????? Its hilarious not sure how he learnt this but its entertaining us loads.

Joe now has 8 teeth, god, they're coming soooo slow.
He still wakes up several times in the night, we have moved him into a toddler bed and he sleeps in Georges room now too so that means I have to trek into their room to settle him or he wanders into our room.
I finally took his cot part which was next to our bed, so there is no going back now!
Still no words really, although he babbles makka pakka, bob the builder, dummy and milk. He is getting the hang of saying Mummy and Daddy.
He is the clumsiest thing I know, forever falling over and collecting grazes on his nose and bumping his teeth and getting a fat lip .
He does this cutest little bobbing and swaying dance .
No longer bf although he is still mega Mummy obsessed.

Hope everyone is well.
Gongrats on becoming a Nanny Dreamy!

lol at the dancing

Ellis likes to have a good dance and he has his favourite songs too!
His current fave is Valerie by Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson lol and he likes to listen to MTV dance

He also likes to brush my hair and play with shoes.

Do you think he's showing early signs of his feminine side

hi girlies

i have a mad dancing baby too

ok im now offically worried cj has 4 count em 4 teeth everyone else seems to have loads

well madam now says mumma dada woof gone she shakes her head for no and points to things like lights and clocks when asked

she loves nursery really loves nursery so im happy

so we have two pregnancies who will be next ????????

Hang on a minute...
2 pregnancies???????????????
Have I missed something? Who else apart from NBG is pregnant?

Does the phrase "I have a mad dancing baby too" mean in english = dressedup is pregnant?
I may be being a bit thick here and missing something that is obvious to others but it has been a long day...
If it is, then CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!
If not, then WHO IS PREGNANT?

lol sarah! i was confused too whether dressed up was being subtle (too subtle for me!) or maybe referring to dreamy's daughter?
i have finally sat down with my dh and talked properly about me wanting to have another baby - he's managed to change the conversation every time up until now but has finally given in and conceeded i might get my way! . part of me wants to start trying now as i'm worried i may not conceive but we'd really prefer dd to be out of private nursery etc so may think about it this time next year.
we are fighting off the cold and cough bug at the moment; had to cancel dd's pneumococcal today as she's barking like a barky thing! i have a much awaited day off - i've been doing quite a lot of supply work on my wednesday's off,to earn a few xmas pennies! and the internet is finally back on after some time out - maybe i can MN all day!
hope everyone is well. NBG - how is it going?

ps- re -dancing babies - ours is crazy! she dances like her dad!

Oh what has happened? I feel lost on here!!!!

Oh well. Hello ladies, thought i'd try and get back into this MN thing again! Don't have time for anything atm due to a very naughty, very funny little 16month old!!! Is it me or has the time flown????

Oooo congrats Dreamy! Hope all is going good.

Pregnant? ANother one?? Well it certainly isn't me. No way, not a chance.... Tet....

Me thinks everyone is too busy with their lives now to log on here......
Hope everyone has a good christmas

ps. definitely no more babies in our house - dh has had 'the op' (more like the little cut!) and if I do become pregnant there will be lots and lots of questions asked, followed probably by a letter from a solicitor citing divorce!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i thought hoppy was pg maybe im wrong ????????

or was i dreaming it lol
