August 2007 - new thread as I can't find one!

[shrinkingsagpuss]

Hi all,

VERY VERY long time no see..... just had a little catch up - my goodness, HOW MANY of you are preggers??? Gosh- NOT ME!
Can't believe our beautiful babies are talking walking noisy toddlers.
Evie is still a monster - always has been , always will be. She talks constantly, and is now stringing words together, like " I'll do it" - usually in relation to feeding herself, or getting dressed.. and usually accompanied by a small tantrum.
She does finally sleep through the night.. after a fashion- is up between 5.30 and 6.15 - still a shock after Billy who slept 7-7 from 4 months.
But - she does eat anything which is fab (compared to Billy), and she is happy to walk, or go in the pushchair, so its easy to take her out - unlike Billy who always wanted to walk no matter how long it took.
She has a passion for dolls (oh crumbs), handbags, and hats - she is SOOOO not related to me!
Take care all, can't say when I'll visit next - good luck with the births!!
xx

Sorry Conker, forgot to say that I hope Struan's skin clears up soon. That must be awful for him.

Thought i would ressurect our thread in time for our 3rd birthdays.

Hope everyone is well.

Will add some more info about what we've been up to if other people post!

Hello

Hello Knickers!!

There is life out there!

How are your two??

How are you both.

We fine if not knacked. When will Lexie sleep past 5/5.30am. Am about to tackle 'potty traing' with her even if she 'no wants it' . Lizzie finishes school on Thursday so we won't be dashing here and there, so will have time.

Has anyone got any ideas for presents. I have know idea as Lizzie has so many toys Lexie realy doeasn't need anything.

Hi Lizzie,

poor you with those early mornings.

Good luck with the potty training. it was the one thing I was dreading but in the end it was simple. Caitlin suddenly decided she could do it and has been dry since january and even out of night nappies since march without a single accident.

Not sure about pressies either. Going to get her a little shop till so we can buy things from her from ELC but not sure what else really.

She's coming on leaps and bounds with just about everything and on Saturday even got her 5m cerfiticate from her swimming class which she is very proud of. She's now learning to dive but at the moment they are mostly belly flops! We practiced a lot whilst on holiday in Corfu a couple of weeks ago and it really has paid off.

Just booked her bithday party - she is having it at a soft play centre with an hours play, then food, then a disco as she loves dancing and singing more than anything. There are mostly boys coming to her party so not sure how they will like the disco!

Love to hear catch ups from eveyone.

Both nightmares at the moment! Just got craft things for dd's birthday. Still not got over her 1st birthday when no one turned up for her party (only a small one with about 5kids) so not doing a party for her.
Hope all is well with everyone else.

Lizzie, good luck with the potty training. Callum decided in feb that he was ready then he had a really bad chest infection and flu but once he was better, he just said, no more nappies and that was him dry day and night from day 1 (strange boy) but I am very pleased as I was prepared for a nightmare time.

Callum is talking non stop, literally the other day he talked for 9 hours straight, then fell asleep and started talking in his sleep too

knickers hope everything gets better with them both, the pic of them on your profile is cute.

Hersetta, wow at Caitlins swimming. We really cant take Callum very often because of his skin, it makes his eczema really bad but am trying to find a local ozone pool to see if that is better. How is the ttc? Have your periods come back now? I have to have an HSG then at the beginning of sep we can start clomid again. They just wanted to be thorough as my lymphocyte levels have been a wee bit raised but they think its just normal for me. Anyway at least Im under the OB/GYN now so that should help.

We are getting Callum a kids toy guitar for his birthday, he loves music (esp imagination movers and zingzillas) apparently though what he really wants is a dr's kit, a REAL one not a pretend one like gran has so he can practice injections and 'PPR' (think he means CPR HELP!!!!!

Anyway take care x

Hi Helibee!!

I feel your pain with the talking. Caitlin is never quiet. Even when she is happily playing with her toys she talks constantly. Listening to her playing both parts in a conversation between her and a toy is very amusing though.

Well my periods have finally decided to come back (3 weeks ago) so as I haven't had a second one yet I don't know if my cycle length. Have had no outward signs of ovulation (apart from half a day of pain in my lower left side) so will just have to see I guess. Trying not to get too worked up about it although am acutely aware that I am maybe getting too old for it to be as easy as TTC with Caitlin.

Forgot to say, just upload a recent pic of Caitlin onto my profile.

Good to hear from people.

We've just cracked potty training, was suprisingly easy - basically left him to it. My main issue now is finding trousers that stay up without the help of a nappy.

We're away for Euan's birthday so avoid the hassle of a party. He's got a toy kitchen (passed on from a friend) for his birthday but he had his real present earlier in the summer so he could get use out of it - he had a balance bike, have always thought that they were a bit of a gimmick but he completely loves it, he can just about keep up with the others on their bikes. Hoping it will ease the trauma of learning to ride a bike too.

Hope all the 'babies' have a happy third birthday

Hi all

lovely to see all your faces/names again
Hersetta- thanks for the resurrection of thread and best of luck ttc

Heli- LOL at the sleep talking

LL celebrated his 3rd birthday, with a family day out at a wildlife park, and pressies from the family, no energy sadly for a party here, but now he has started pre school (one day a week) I imagine next year with all his friends will be one!

LL talks alot too, interupted only by this annoying squeal he likes to do, when he is frustrated

Life with 3 children 5 and under is driving me to verges of insanity some days. I often ask myself if everyones house is this messy?
this loud? this crazy?
the only thing that keeps me sane, is that next year i'll have, one child at school

look fwd to more updates

Happy birthday to all our big boys and girls!!

3 Years Old

Hope all our wee ones had good birthdays

I became an auntie again yesterday but he has group b strep infection and is on IV antibiotics so please think of them all

I have to have a laparoscopy in 2 weeks for ttc next wee baby

Hope everyone is ok and sane and you are coping with little ones starting nursery

Callum is loving nursery but they were feeding him milk (even though they were told he is allergic office hadnt told teachers and he had a rash from head to toe, flared uo eczema, lost control of his bladder but thankfully he is doing better now!

Hello all,

any life out there ??

Well, as I am busting to tell someone and have no-one to tell, I just wanted to post that I have just got a BFP....EDD is 1st August 2011. Must be fated to have August babies!!

Hope everyone is well.

Hi everyone!! cant believe how long its been from i was on here!

not sure if any of you are still about but thought id drop in anyways

its crazy how fast the last 3 years have went and that all the little ones will soon be starting nursery. bradley is now running around fighting with his big brothers and torturing the dog lol.

hes really coming on with his talking now and any problems he had in past have just gone so a very healthy, bouncy 3 year old.

hope you are all well and hopefully hear from you soon xx

Hersetta- just seen your message i was looking at the thread the wrong way round shows how long its been from ive been on! congratulations! im due baby number 4 on the 24th july so could possibly be another august baba how are you feeling? im exhausted! and trying to do an HND in biology isnt helping lol. hope your keeping well x

COngratulations to both of you - going to be a busy summer for you!

Congratulations Snot - hope everything goes well for you too.

Thanks loler!

Congrats to you both

How are all the little ones settling into Nursery?

Mine doesn't go to Nursery until January but I have no doubts whatsoever that she will be fine. She absolutely adores pre-school and has met the teachers at Nursery and just takes everything in her stride. Unbeleiveably, she really is the happiest, most confident little girl i know, which considering she is the youngest in her class is really great.

ds2 started nursery this year and loves it but he is so different in character from ds3 who is a clingy mummys boy! he starts in september and im thinking he will take a little while to settle in but the teachers and assistants are very good at dealing with children that have difficulties. what about yours knickers?

Hello strangers!! Congratulations Hersetta, that's absolutely wonderful news... Time to 'fess up to a enormous little accident myself. I very, very unexpectedly found myself pg with number 3 last year and am due 17th June.

Haven't had a second to read all through the thread so will attempt to if I get five minutes (unlikely), but anyone else know the main stories.....???

Wow TT - huge congratulations!! do you know if you are having a boy or a girl yet?

All well with me - am now 16 weeks and due on 27th July. We were told at the FMC at our Nuchal (we saw the head honcho professor himself) that we are almost certainly expecting another DD. Caitlin is estatic, and can't wait to be a big sister.

Roll on the summer I say!
