June '04 babies

[zephyrcat]

Have noticed lots of other 04 months but not June so thought I would get it going DS was born on June 17th. He is totally different to how DD was so its like starting over again! He's growing fast but seems to get very bored and frustrated at not being able to do much. He's just starting jars of baby food but tends to have a bit of a sweet tooth!! He's also a gemini and definately seems to have two personalities in there - he can stare at you and go from wobbly bottom lip/about to burst into tear to huge grin in a second!! How are other the other June babies getting on?

How nice to hear from people. Yes I suppose I agree with what you have all said about us 2nd/3rd/whatever timers having less to say about our babes but I guess I like to hear what's going on cos 1) I never joined an NCT class and my ante-natal group was crap so I feel I have missed out 2) I don't really like talking about babies with anyone in RL much 3)I have forgotten so much from first time round that sometimes, although I don't worry as much as first time round, I still think 'what the bloody hell is going on now'.

Gomez - of course everytime I see your name I think zzzzzzzzzz - ONLY JOKING . I have exactly the same thoughts as you. Must say I haven't seen you post recently on any threads so can't comment on you being ignored but I'm afraid Secur cannot claim to be Threadkiller Supreme - I still lay claim to that title. That's why I lurk more.

Karen - I'm sorry I know you are having a stressful time but lol at you videoing the washing machine . If that doesn't help your cause then I don't know what will!

have to go to bed but honestly, I am a far better threadkiller than either of you two . Not helped by the fact that I never get the chance to post anything before someone falls over or cries or needs to be fed. Glad to report that J survived the cat incident and they are now in separate rooms. Must go to bed...he was up from 1 till 4 last night yodelling and I'm knackered. MG in your honour will make a supreme effort to blather some rubbish in here every time I turn on the computer

I feel most honoured Skara. But in all seriousness don't want to bully anyone into it - this is a voluntary thing and not school A likes to wake us up between 5-6am with some 'bs' and razzes but I can get him to shut up and go back to sleep by bringing him into our bed - am I making a rod for my back???

hi again
I AM HERE! Really....we have movee the damn computer around so many times I keep not having internet access for days in a row then when I do I am tired, crappy, lazy or something down those lines so sdon't post. But tonight - its 4pm here - I am going to post properly. So much to catch up on here - and a whole new thread (looks what happens when I don't look for a few seconds!).
So talk to you all soon...I promise. Its easier when the babies are all asleep and dh still at work. A window of peaceful time ahhhhh.

Hi all again, Well the bloke came for my washing machine this morning. I still don't think he believes me he waughled on in Greek but had a very pissed off tone, nodding his head at the translator (if thats wat you vcan call him, suppose he does a better job than I could though seem as I only know thank you . ) Luckily one off the girls were round and even she said what an arrogrant prick, so not just me. I am just waiting to see what they come back and say. At times like this I really wish I was in the UK so I could take things higher if need be.!!

Nicole is starting Brownies tonight, so will have to walk her as DH took the car. It is not far but we are expecting storms this afternoon/evening, the winds are picking up and it has started to thunder. On our weather reoport it also said we could have some hail, not looking forward to that as the hail here is supposedly the size of golf balls ouch!!!!

I will make more of an effort to post and try not to be so pissed off and whinning all the time (hope no one is offended by my language) I will even try and get some funnies !!!!!! Could do with having a giggle be it on line or here. Got some girls coming round to night for wine and chat etc.

bye for now

LOL secur

ok, here it is. Can you beieve I actually nearly forgot i was going to post. See thats what the problem is - I am senile!
Grace has turned into a perfect, lovely baby. She still doesn't sleep through - she wakes for a quick feed and goes of to sleep instantly again so is not too much hassle. But other than that she is a relaxed and happy little girl. dd1 was much more intense and still is sometimes. dd2 is very busy with her rolling and the second I put her down on her back she rolls straight onto her belly. And I am consatntly surprised by how far she can actually move around the floor to get to the toys she wants! I'm sure she will be crawling before I know it. She also sleeps on her tummy now which I know is against all the 'rules' but I could spend all night turning her onto her back and she'd still end up on her tummy. Guess she knows what she likes!
Still not weaning her as she seems quite happy without at the moment - and is stacking on the weight (is about 8kgs now I think). And no teeth either.
Karen - Glad to hear you've managed to hook up with some girls over there, sounds like you need that wine! I know I would By the way I certainly don't mind you venting when you post. I think you need it and I really feel for you. It sounds like you're having a really tough time. So vent and swear away I say!
MG - Grace doesn't have a dummy these days. I have given it to her once or twice when she was a little bit sick (just a cold) but she wasn't keen. She puts herself to sleep now too - no rocking from me, shes happier without me really. I do put a mobile on for her though. I ahve to say I can really relate to you saying your one of those people not meant to have a large family. Thats me down to a tee. I'm sure I couln't handle anymore kids. I don't know how some of you girls do it. But more than that I NEVER want to be pregnant again....EVER.!
I had a check up at the doc last week and have found I have a minor prolapse 'down there'. Just have to do millions of pelvic floor exercises apparently . That really sucks.
Well, I'm just going to shut up before I take over the whole thread, keep posting.
Cath xx

So essence we are all willing and wanting to post just not able - mmm and some of us are thinking about more babies!

Secur/MG I don't think I am a threadkiller just boring as I never get a response - the thread just carries on completely ignoring my, usually, inane contribution .

Lily is sitting up quite well now which is just so cute. But is making no moves to roll over, it is just not going to happen, ever, against the laws of physics I think! So in line with expectations she will sit early and then continue to do just that for the next 6 months!

Both DDs are with PsIL at moment, they are practising for when I return to work. Went for a great walk this morning, finishing off with soup and a huge lump of carrot cake. Got my swimming lesson tonight and then I think I will be heading straight to bed with Lily (DH away and DD1 stays over with PsIL on Wednesdays, really looking forward to snuggling up as the wind is getting up here.

Oh Cathncait - L has slept on her tummy from the very beginning (well about 1 week old) as we discovered by accident she much prefered that and the choice was either no sleep for anyone or lots of sleep for everyone, guess which one! I think the guidelines say thou that when they can get there on their own it is fine.

Right bye all and take care.

Hi Gomez - glad to see mine isnt the only one refusing that roll!! Ds will sit up for a while with support but thats about it!! I guess in reality i could spend less time on here and more time on the floor with him!

Message withdrawn

Ah Gomez - I often have those moments on a thread when I have posted and it seems like everyone has continued to 'talk' over my head or something and I feel like shouting 'HELLO'.

I also have a non-roller here although he seems to be able to shuffle up, down and around iyswim. He can sit unaided for about 30 secs or so and loves 'standing' so I'm wondering if there's going to be yet another early walker in the family - or he might just be a lazy moo.

Cathncait - well-done - we are not dummy-free! It's not been a problem really until last night when he had a very restless time and couldn't keep it in him mouth at 5am so today I've gone 'cold turkey' on the poor lad and he's just cried himself to sleep. Don't know if I'm brave enough to do without tonight but it's nice not to have bothered with it today.

Another thing that I've noticed about this thread is that nearly everyone says how 'easy' their baby has been (except me and Cavy/Zebra I think). What happened there then??

Message withdrawn

Point taken Secur, and tbh I don't want to imply ds is a devil baby (except when he's doing his ear-splitting screaming thing that clears a path through the crowds on a busy day ).

Message withdrawn

I know why I miss people out...its cos when I read everyones bit I think 'ooh yes, me too' but then when I go down to 'add message' and start typing I forget it all and go off on a tangential ramble about nothing even vaguely related to the subject and forget punctuation. (As demonstrated!).

Forgot to say Cavy-Zebra, I am v impressed too - I would be utterly hopeless (ooh, that's my first bold) at duplicity due to my dimness. I'd muddle everything up and you'd all laugh at me and work it out straight away . BTW does anyone else wonder if all their real life friends are secretly stalking them by lurking on Mumsnet and reading their posts, or am I just paranoid?

Rightho, replies - yes Secur I agree, no3 is dead easy but probably on a par with no1 who I thought was tricky! Plus they had to fit in with stuff so they tend to just get on with life a bit more than first babies do. Gomez your evening snuggled up sounds heavenly - as does your walk, esp the cake as finale (yum). Cath, if it's not too rude to ask, did you have a suspicion something wasn't right and hence went to the GP re:prolapse? I keep meaning to remember pelvic floor exercises and forgetting but you've made me remember today. Eek. BTW Gomez forgot to ask (cos you're so unutterably dull of course ) where were you in Edinburgh? We were in the lovely New Town...sigh. Couldn't afford a garage there nowadays, let alone a house. Are you still in the vicinity? My sister is good friends with loads of Fife girls - I love that accent :-) Strange noises emitting from monitor, better go and investigate...

Skara - lived all over Edinburgh really, from Uni halls on Dalkeith Road to well dodgy flats in Gorgie. Left from Colinton last year thou and am missing it big style! Just need to persuade DH it is a good plan and of course get accepted to Uni there! Talking of which I phoned them today to find out when they were likely to inform current applicants and they said we are do all applications as they are received so if you haven't heard by Christmas phone back, eh?? Rambling on about moving back to Edinburgh we might just about afford it as prices are really steady there at the mo with lots of fixed price but luckily for us still rising in Stirling! Won't of course get a nice big house like we have here but then we didn't leave a nice big house so no real change, as long as 3 beds and a bit garden not too fussed. Where are you know Skara, I presumed 'down South' but am up for correction of course!

Mmm Secur - did you get a Blackberry BTW?

Scott is also a none roller but can move around in a semi circle. He can sit with little suppoet. Have been a naughty mummy and bopught him a baby walker the other week. He loves being in it but needs a rolled up blanket to keep him sitting up straightish. The BIG mistake I made was to get him one with a really noisy activity tray, everytime the lever is moved or buttons pressed the lights flash and it makes noises which he loves!! It is a UFO baby walker!!!. He can now tough the floor in it and attempts to push him self off. He is also in his high chair for all his meals. It is so sweet as as soon as he goes init his little mouth goes and he kicks his feet about as he knows he is getting some food. (bless it sounds like I don't feed him often!!!)

I have started to play the SIMS alot since i got out here, and last night got my couple to fall in love properly and the man asked the woman uif she wanted a baby , I reolied yes. But within 5 mins of playing social services called and took the baby of me. All the time the baby was there I fed it, sabng to it and played with it, so I will have to try and master how to look after a virtual baby the real thing is sooooo much easier

Anyway must go and get to bed, the wine is taking effect, we had a good old chat and bitch session tonight it was GREAT.
[grin

lmao at the sims baby!! Got to get that game!! I love Edinburgh Gomez - although my lot are all from Aberdeen. Took dp to Edinburgh on his first ever time in Scotland and he got lost on Arthurs seat for about 3 hours!! lol Those were the days!

Zcat what is Imao !! Sorry am I just being thick.

Just popped back to say I need to stop looking a the birth annoucments as it is making me more and more broody. I really want to go through pregnancy and labour etc all over again and have another tiny baby to bring up etc etc etc.

GOD I can't believe I am saying this. DH would have a fit if he really knew how broody I am. I did joke the other daying that I might go to the doctors and get the coil removed without telling him!!!! MMMMM!!!!!

DD said she doens't mind aslog as I only have one more and its a girl !!! orders please!!! So that probably sets me up for twins boys !!! But thats thesaddest thing i would still love twins. Think i shoud sew my legs together for next few years!!!!

Goodnight everyone.

Sorry - laughin my ass off!!!!

Gomez you're right, we're in Bucks. Have to say I love this village but I didn't realise how much I was missing Edinburgh till I went back there last week. There's just so much to do and it's so lovely and small and friendly and I know every street. We met and got married there so it reminds me of drunken nights at the Mission and walking down the middle of Princes Street at 4am [wistful smiley].

Karen this SIMS thing sounds intriguing, haven't ever looked at it but have wondered what it was. Off to have a nosey online and see for myself!

Skara myself and one of the girls here have bought a few of the SIMS packages between us, so we have them going on holiday, making magic, fightihg , flirting etc , building our own houses.

Its great but 10 mins on the computer turns into 3 hours.!! So I always wait till the kids have gone to bed now. before my real baby gets negolected for my virtual one !!!!

{ Iam only joking about real babs been negelected just incase any lurkers get the wrong end of stick and get cyber ss on me!!!!

oh sounds interesting Karen, but as it is I haven't enough time to do everything so I better keep away or I'll end up in trouble . I should be doing domestic goddess stuff just now but am glued to the computer instead...
