Hello hello everyone - first 2012 post in here!!

I've started hanging around OB again as DP & I want to start trying for #2 later on in the year. You may notice me in that thread complaining about how I need to lose weight haha good place to have a rant. Heres a bit of an update on us.

Mr2 is doing fantastic, currently trying to sit on his little motorbike from McDonalds. He loves swimming, dancing and you won't ever catch him without a car (I'm sure all the boys are like that!). He is talking heaps, being super naughty and cute at the same time. Sleeping is going well for us (finally), we found putting him to bed half an hour later made a huge difference and he hardly ever puts up a fight. We do lots of reading before bed and say goodnight to the entire family.

DP & I are both working full time. Mr2 goes to his grandparents every Monday and then to a really good daycare 4 days a week - he loves it there and we love it too. I worked 20 hours a week for a little while, and may do so again, and found it absolutly brilliant (except for the bank balance :). When number 2 comes along I'm not sure if I will ever return to full time work - at least until Mr2 heads of to school.

We've been doing some work on our house to make it a little more user friendly. Our plan is to rent it out in the next couple of years so we want to make it into a nice attractive rental (hopefully the rowdy neibours have moved out by then!!). All I want is the deck done!!!

I would love to hear how everyone else is going - those of you who have had #2 as well!

Thanks LilyC.

I have my first scan on the 20th, will be exactly 12 weeks. Can't wait!

sweets that's been happening to heaps of people with that guest name showing up. I see they still haven't fixed it either. Good to hear things are going well.

Congrats Crazymum. Wow #11!

So quiet in here now. So many people have left OB now. I hang around since i'm in the July 2012 thread now.

Isabella is doing well. Growing well and reaching all of the mile stones. She's quite chatty but is usually really quiet around people she doesn't know. She can be a stroppy little madam too and has an ear piercing scream. She's so cute though and a lot of fun. Her brother is being rather challenging at the moment though and loves to harass her which drives me crazy.

Off to Christmas in the park tomorrow evening. I hope the kids will enjoy it and behave.

I hope everyone else is well. ]]> Fri, 09 Dec 2011 08:35:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1414941&title=november-2009-babies#1414941 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Congratulations to all of those...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1404724&title=november-2009-babies#1404724 Author: Guest_63582

Congratulations to all of those second time Mummies  

I have been computerless at home for a while since some children broke my laptop so I'm a little behind in the world at the moment (on at work at the moment).

Wow Crazy Mum, you are amazing. I'm sure it won't be long till there are a few number 3's coming along in this forum as well.

What has everyone been up to? Guess it must be about time for 2 year updates?!

Tai is doing great. Huge. Were having humoungus sleeping issues - whats new. So any advice there would be great. He's loving daycare - I get a little teary eyed when I see his profile and all the things I'm missing but I love working at the moment and I'm going down to 20 hours in a couple of weeks which will be a good chance to spend some time with him. He's talking heaps, always doing something to surprise us - doing things we didn't even realise he knows how to do!

He's very much a Daddy's boy at the moment, I could try and reason that away to make myself feel better but in the end I think it just swings in roundabouts - Im not taking it to heart. The kid has a lot of love to give, and kisses which I can't get enough of.

As for having another playmate....were still thinking of trying from August next year (which is only 9 months away!!!!!)so I'm excited about that. I'm trying to time it so no#2 comes along at the same time we are relieved of some financial comittments. For now were just focusing on working on our house.

 

Omg!! Editing to say this is sweets. I've just looked and apparently when I logged in it came up as "Guest_36582". Random.

Yay congrats tiptoes on your exciting news :)

We had a baby boy on the 17th Oct - Oliver (Ollie) James weighing 3.395kgs (7lbs4oz) much better size than his sister (6lb2oz) and we managed a VBAC - very fast delivery after only leaving to go to the hospital with with mild contractions to arriving at 12,55am on his due date!! So much for the pushing staged meaning to be like a first time, this wee man was in a hurry when he decided to come but at least he stayed put so we could watch the RWC AB semi with mild contractions (waters broke on the motorway which was interesting - likely I was sitting on a towel!). We are doing well, he is feeding well and DD loves him so much.

I'm not looking forward to when DH goes back to work next week...eek. Sorry to hear about the cluster feeding I can imagine how hard that is with a toddler.]]> Wed, 26 Oct 2011 01:37:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1401596&title=november-2009-babies#1401596 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Congratulations Chelle!

Yay, congrats tiptoes!! Love the name Hope you're recovering ok from your CS. I found the recovery quite good even with Georgia. She has just become very attached to DH as I spend all my time with Liam now.

We're going ok, still feeding heaps. I'm still bf'ing and will try to keep going until he's 3 months and see how we're going then. I have to work hard to try and stretch him out to 3 hourly feeding during the day, then hopefully the nights will come right. Am so exhausted still, throw a massive growth spurt in there too! Ah well, doesn't last forever.

Hi girls, Kayla Rose arrived last Saturday - 10th September, right on her due date She weighed 8lb 4oz so heaps smaller than her 9lb 12oz brother!

I tried for a VBAC but ended up with another c/s. I got all the way to 10cm dialated and tried pushing but she was so far up and no sign of budging. Because of the previous c/s they only allow a short amount of pushing and only a little help with drugsto move things along, so once they'd allowed for that they decided it wasn't to be. Recovering well and feeling a lot better today.

Loads of cluster feeding, but so far things seem to be going well - just nervous about being on my own when DH goes back to work.

How;s everyone else and the other babies?]]> Sun, 18 Sep 2011 19:46:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1389180&title=november-2009-babies#1389180 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Ooh just saw on FB that you&#039;ve...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1386345&title=november-2009-babies#1386345 Author: _Deb_

Still no house yet! So looks like we might have to store our stuff and find some temporary accommodation up there while we look for a house.

All the best Chelle, in a few months all your preggie worries will be a distant memory...then you'll be wishing for more sleep!!

Not long for you Snicket either, so exciting all these siblings.

Stink about the move Deb, hope you've managed to find a place ok. And wow, #3, go you!

We are doing pretty good, Liam is still feeding constantly. He's snack feeding, so will feed for 5mins then fall asleep for half an hour. I think my supply is running low too as he will often just not latch on, especially in the evenings, it's becoming very exhausting. He wakes 3-4 times in the night and after the 2/3am feed he'll wake every hour. So at this stage I'm considering switching to bottle feeding. I have no time for Georgia and it's starting to affect her behaviour when it's just me and her at home. I feel so bad for her, I'm feeding constantly and she just lies on her couch with her bunny making grizzling sounds. It's a hard decision to make, but will see how it goes. Apart from that he's growing real quick and getting loads of smiles. Makes it all worthwhile ]]> Sat, 10 Sep 2011 19:39:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1386152&title=november-2009-babies#1386152 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Wow Deb thats sux, but so pleased...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1385491&title=november-2009-babies#1385491 Author: Snicket

Wow, big move but exciting that your DP's job is better money etc - and awesome that he got it so quickly!

I'm due this weekend, had a stretch and sweep today but cervix is posterior so MW couldn't get to it properly and said labour is possibly at least a week away. So quite bummed as totally over being pregnant now. So uncomfy and awkward, so will be glad when the new bubba finally arrives! I've got an appointment with an OB at the hospital next Wednesday and going to have another s&s with MW that afternoon, but thinking of booking to have a c/s next Friday if possible as don't think I can wait too much longer. Also getting that awful PUPPPS rash again so feeling a wee bit sorry for myself in this late pregnancy stage. What a whinger I am!

Cooper is still up during the night too. Sometimes he'll sleep through but only occassionally and then some nights he'll come in our bed, go straight to sleep and be no problem. Then nights like last night he sounds like Isabella, he was wriggling and kicking and sitting up and saying uh oh (losing his dummy) or saying more more as he wants to hold handfuls of my hair to sleep and crying out and all sorts!

I hope you and your kids get better soon Deb, winter illnesses suck! Cooper hasn't been sick in a bit but the last week or so it seems every 2nd kid has a cold so I'm just waiting for him to start sniffing and coughing again. I saw in another of your posts that you guys are going to try for #3 shortly Deb, yay, that's so exciting! I hope it happens quickly for you :) ]]> Wed, 07 Sep 2011 21:20:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1385269&title=november-2009-babies#1385269 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Ooh so close now Chelle!!

Ooh so close now Chelle!!

Well Isabella is STILL waking heaps! She gets out of her cot and comes in to get in our bed then continues to wriggle and kick and smack us in the face all night. She constantly kicks the blankets off too. So annoying! Not sure what's up with her. I have to get her to sleep too instead of just putting her to bed and leaving her like i could before. She used to go to sleep so easily and sleep 12-13 hours every night. I hope she'll start doing that again soon. We had enough dramas with her sleep till she was around 14 months so it's really annoying that's she doing this now. She hardly ever has days sleep now too 'cause it's it's such a drama to get her to sleep.

Well we have a lot going on at the moment. DP got made redundant last week but got a new job yesterday. It's in Auckland and pays a little more than what he's on now. We have less than 3 weeks to pack up and find a new house and everything! Eeek!

I hope everyone's well. We're all sick AGAIN. Ever since Kaelen started kindy we all keep getting sick. We hardly ever used to.]]> Tue, 30 Aug 2011 07:11:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1381634&title=november-2009-babies#1381634 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Wow great to hear a few more pregnancies...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1376568&title=november-2009-babies#1376568 Author: Snicket

Wow great to hear a few more pregnancies on the way for our group :)

I'm doing really well, 31wks now and have reecently started on iron so I think that helps in making me feel great. Had a night out on Sat for a friends engagement which was fantastic. It seems so rare these days to get a good night out with my DH.

Great to hear the positive things on c/s with a toddler as I also had a c/s last time but will try for VBAC this time and see what happens!!

I hope everyone is keeping warm because it is so chilly. I'm like this and I live in Akld so I can only imagine how cold it is in the South Island (I don't miss Chch at times liek this although the snow would be cool). I have less than 6wks of work remaining and the motivation levels have seriously dived!

kaybee is pregnant too. Not sure how far along now. Shopa was due last month with twins i think. I don't think she came into this thread that much.

Not long to go for you Chelle!

So tired. Me and the kids had a cold and Isabella had a really red and obviously sore throat. She's getting better but for the last week her sleep has been total crap. She ends up in bed ever morning and ends up kicking and hitting us, so it's a bit hard to sleep. lol.]]> Thu, 11 Aug 2011 11:21:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1374614&title=november-2009-babies#1374614 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : I was just searching back and...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1373754&title=november-2009-babies#1373754 Author: tiptoes

Awww Georgia sounds like a great big sister

Constant feeding sounds very tiring, such a good idea to do EBM in the evenings to get yourself some rest. Yay for surviving the first few weeks! I imagine every couple of weeks that go by it starts to feel a little more easier, or at least you get a little more used to things.

That's great to know you feel ok about picking Georgia up already, so if that's the way things go, then I should be ok

Started feeling a bit crampy tonight, but I think from memory I had the same thing for about 6 weeks last time, so about to do a bit of a search back around that time in our thread to double check.

Chelle, it's been 2 weeks since Liam's arrival and feel like I could quite easily pick Georgia up. I'm just avoiding it as I don't want to irritate anything. I've picked her up once at night to give her a hug. As long as you have some good family/friend support I wouldn't be worried if you need another CS. Not long for you now!!

I think we're slowly getting over the horrible first couple of weeks. Liam has been feeding non-stop since day one, but has put on about 350grms since birth, so can't complain really. Feeding is going well, exclusively bf'ing during the day and topping up with EBM at night so Mum gets SOME sleep

I think the terrible 2's have started with Georgia, it could just be the change, but the tanties are getting pretty bad She is a great big sister though, points out Liam's hair, hands, eyes, mouth etc etc. Strokes him while I'm feeding him and says 'nice'. Gives him and me a kiss everytime she goes somewhere and when she goes to bed. Very cute!]]> Wed, 03 Aug 2011 10:53:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1370836&title=november-2009-babies#1370836 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Congratulations Jax, awesome!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1370731&title=november-2009-babies#1370731 Author: LilyC

Congratulations Jax, awesome! Just saw the photos of FB, he's so cute!

Chelle, I had c-section both times and I was pickling Lily up after 1 week from the operation and had no problems at all. So don't worry too much in advance in case you'll have to have a c-section again.]]> Wed, 03 Aug 2011 00:01:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1370731&title=november-2009-babies#1370731 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Yay Jax that is fantastic news....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1366975&title=november-2009-babies#1366975 Author: Snicket

Yay Jax that is fantastic news. Great to hear that you are feeling/recovering well and that the BF is going well. Hopefully you get into a routine with night and days soon. That is so cute about you needing to explain to Georgia what you are doing with this bubba all the time :) I'm sure she will be all over him soon playing mummy.

Congrats Jax, it sounds as though everything is going as well as can be expected for the first few days! I remember being very grateful when Alex settled into a routine (of sorts, it still took a while for him to sleep through consistently).

Chelle, don't worry too much about the tearing. I had a second degree tear and I had a big bubba too. I didn't think the recovery from the tear was too bad and I loved being able to walk around and do things for myself immediately after Alex was born. I felt so light! It's just different for everyone, so you never know, you might not getting any tearing at all!]]> Sun, 24 Jul 2011 20:02:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1366792&title=november-2009-babies#1366792 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Congrats Jaxs, that must be a...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1366506&title=november-2009-babies#1366506 Author: tiptoes

Congrats Jaxs, that must be a relief about the breastfeeding going much better this time. The day and night mix up definitely sounds exhausting, I hope it doesn't last much longer. Hopefully Georgia gets used to having a new brother around soon, it's definitely something I'm worried about.

That's great about the c/s recovery too, I'm going to try for a VBAC mainly because Cooper likes to be picked up a lot and I imagine he'll be wanting to be picked up in those early days so that's my main reasoning, but hearing that the recovery isn't too hard with a toddler makes me feel better if things go that way for me again. I start feeling nervous when I hear about all these nasty tears and other issues that people have had and think maybe I'm making a wrong decision as I had a very straight forward recovery from the c/s. But hey, we'll see what happens in 7/8 weeks I guess!

I had a growth scan last week and looks like we're on track for another big baby - was weighing 5lbs at 32 weeks. I've got an appointment with an OB in about a week to get the tick of approval for a VBAC.

Hi ladies, Liam Robert was born on 19th July weighing 7lb14 by CS. Am recovering well from the operation and would have to say recovering from the pain of a CS is actually easier than recovering from the tear! Georgia is still not sure of Liam, but I'm trying to explain to her what I'm doing with him all the time. It's really only when he cries she gets quite upset. Poor thing doesn't really know what's happened!
Liam is doing well, no problems BF'ing yet which is great as Georgia was tongue tied. Only issue is having his days and nights mixed up, have been up with him between 10pm and 4am the last two nights! Funny how you appreciate it when they get into routines and sleep through the night!
Will put some pics up on our FB page.

How exciting Jax! Not long to go. Can't wait to hear the news of his arrival. I don't blame you for going for the CS. I had tearing with my son but it was a 2nd degree tear and a large internal tear which both healed well. Yours was a 3rd degree wasn't it? I guess at least with a CS it won't matter what size he is. My son was a decent size.

Wow only 8 weeks to go for you Chelle! Are you having another CS or trying for a VBAC?

So many November mums having another baby! I'm glad it's not me. Hehe. Can't imagine having my two AND a newborn!

Isabella has been a real grump lately and her sleep has been all messed up. The other day i discovered what her problem must be, she got her second lot of lower molars. So she's got 18 teeth now. Have to say i'm getting so sick of her constant tanty's. It gets bloody tiring! Her brother has been driving me mad lately too. The joys of kids. ]]> Sat, 16 Jul 2011 22:38:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1363731&title=november-2009-babies#1363731 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Hey Deb, saw your post in July...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1363726&title=november-2009-babies#1363726 Author: Jaxnz1

Hey Deb, saw your post in July thread.... I'm having a CS on Tuesday!! I elected it due to the tear I had with Georgia and this one was estimated at 8lb1 already at 37 weeks...eek! So as soon as I found that out it pretty much made my mind up. I'm only 38 weeks today, and the only spaces they had available were either Tuesday or the 2nd of August. I originally said the 2nd, but they preferred to get me done next week. So was all a bit of a shock considering I thought I still had 2+ weeks left It has sunk in now though and am very excited to be meeting him sooner and no doubt he will be a healthy size

Will let you all know how it goes and will post some pics when I get round to it. Keep telling Georgia she's getting a younger brother this week... it's not really registering with her though. Hopefully she will be Mummy's little helper at home ]]> Sat, 16 Jul 2011 21:55:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1363726&title=november-2009-babies#1363726 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Hi everyone!

Hi everyone! I went to post last month and then lost a massive big post and it was too late so didn't redo it and then forgot to come back!

Great to hear everyone's news and how all our lovely little bubbas are doing.

Congrats Laila, so exciting that Oliver is here - how are you finding juggling two?

Not much longer jaxs, looking forward to hearing about your baby's arrival too - you're having a boy aren't you?

I'm keen to stop at two kids as well, I used to think I wanted lots and lots but similar to you guys, I don't really enjoy pregnancy, no big problems or anything but I just prefer the baby on the outside than the inside :) I also agree on the manageability of two rather than anymore. It's all I really picture for our little family - though of course if a third happened sometime down the road I wouldn't be disappointed or anything, just not in the plan - DH is wanting to get fixed! I actually feel quite excited that we've almost completed our family - kinda like all the bits of the puzzle will be here and we know what we're working with

Ok, better post this before I lose it again. ]]> Fri, 08 Jul 2011 20:48:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1359741&title=november-2009-babies#1359741 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : We are looking at two too although...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1358392&title=november-2009-babies#1358392 Author: Snicket

We are looking at two too although after DD arrived I was keen on 3 but DH wants 2. It all gets crazy after 2....bigger house, people mover etc!!!

Haha Jaffa I think the same about the 'all down hill from here' since we had such a perfect baby last time. Eeeek!

I had a scan at 25wks on Monday and all looks good. They were happy with size, blood in and out etc. Still a surprise.

Hope everyone else is well :)]]> Wed, 06 Jul 2011 10:55:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1358392&title=november-2009-babies#1358392 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Yip, we&#039;re sticking with...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1356975&title=november-2009-babies#1356975 Author: Jaxnz1

Yip, we're sticking with the two. I've always wanted just two, so never really crossed my mind to have more than that. I'm with you Jafa, any more than two and we would need to upgrade everything and one child each seems more manageable when out and about
If anything for us it's the cost though.

I don't like pregnancy either, even though I've had two good pregnancies.
I've joked with DH that I've booked him in for the chop on the day this one is coming out. As much as I love being a Mum, I feel like I'm lacking some of the maternal instincts sometimes too, but could never have an only child. ]]> Sun, 03 Jul 2011 09:24:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1356975&title=november-2009-babies#1356975 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : I think 2.

I think 2. DH thinks 3. We'll see how I feel after the next one - which we haven't started trying for yet! I really don't want to do pregnancy 3 times - while I was totally fine and not sick at all, I really didn't enjoy being pregnant very much. I know it's only a short time out of your whole life, but still.

Also I worry (and this is totally irrational) that Alex is such a lovely boy and future children couldn't be as good as him, so I keep thinking it's all downhill from here! I told you it was irrational. And at 3 they outnumber you! I'd need octopus arms!]]> Sat, 02 Jul 2011 20:03:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1356880&title=november-2009-babies#1356880 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Congrats LilyC!

Congrats LilyC! Love the name, also on our future boy list.

A friend of mine has just had a new wee boy, her first is the same age as ours so it's weird seeing someone them and thinking - that could have been us! Haha he's very cute.

I've been pondering the question latley of how exactly a woman decides to have her last child. I can't imagine (at this time) not wanting to have more. So I asked a friend at work who has 4 grown kids how she knew it was time to stop - she replied "When the hubby took himself to the vet" - hahaha! She said she'd still be going if he hadn't of put an end to it. SCARY! I'm starting to think maybe I'm going to have to re-think my fear of owning a minivan hehehe.

Great to read the page of what everyone has been up too. Sorry have been missing in action lately again, tied up with Oct 2011 thread and then forget!

I hope wee ones are better now and teeth have settled down :)

Sorry to hear about your DH nathansmummy. Big hugs and I'm pleased to hear you have some help/suport. My mum was single from when I was 16yrs and she was amazing but I know its hard at times.

All is well with me. Bump is growing well now, looking pregnant and definitely bigger than last time!! DD is in a big bed now too. She has been in there about 10 days now and it has been absolutely no difference to her being in the cot....amazing really. Maybe less head banging! She loves her bed and just calls out when she awakes and hasn't gotten out yet. Weird considering she gets off during the day but doesn't when in sleep bag and has been asleep....maybe thats the key.

Still 5 (or thereabouts) weeks to go for me. Have finished work which I am LOVING so far. Was just too tired and sore. Georgia will still go to DC two mornings a week, so will give me some time out and hopefully time to catch up on sleep once the baby gets here.

Ha, yes Cali everyone seems to get very very busy and not so much posting. We all try but there doesn't seem to be many hours in the day any more. I honestly don't know how those of you that have 2 babies now manage - life seems busy enough with just the one!

We're (hopefully) going to have some professional pics of Alex taken tomorrow afternoon. I say hopefully because we wanted to go to the Museum/Domain to do them but it's not looking like it is going to be very flash weather, so we're going to make a call tomorrow morning whether we postpone or not. It's cool tho because it's the sister of an old workmate who is doing the pics, so she's quite flexible, and reasonably priced.

We're managing to keep illness at bay here, Alex hasn't been too sick (just a cough that's ongoing) and hubby and I have been okay too - not as well as we have been previous years, but not as bad as I was expecting. I feel for you Deb with being really sick, it totally sucks.

I hope everyone is doing well!]]> Fri, 24 Jun 2011 12:10:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1352379&title=november-2009-babies#1352379 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : *lurker* Seeing what life will...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1351815&title=november-2009-babies#1351815 Author: caliandjack

I agree, the late afternoons are the worst! G used to sit and watch TV happily while I got her tea ready, however lately she puts a DVD on (yes, she actually puts it in herself), and then throws a tanty! So I've given up on TV and she just 'helps' in the kitchen or gets all the tupperware out of the pantry. Trouble is, she's very demanding at mealtimes and wants her meals right there and right now!

Took her to Kelly Tarlton's last weekend. LOVED it. Wasn't sure about going in the car around the penguins, but she did pretty well because it would've been quite scary for an 18 month old!]]> Thu, 09 Jun 2011 20:02:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1343383&title=november-2009-babies#1343383 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : How is everyone&#039;s Queens...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1341022&title=november-2009-babies#1341022 Author: JAFAjaffa

How is everyone's Queens birthday going? We've been enjoying the extra day - getting some things done around the house we never have time to do otherwise. DH is currently making a ridiculous amount of groany noises about putting the dryer up on the wall - but he has no choice, I want the extra space on the floor in the laundry!

Alex starts his new daycare tomorrow, and his visits last week went really well. I don't think he's really going to notice very much that he isn't at the old place! When we took him to see the new place he ran off and started playing with all the toys immediately - not shy that kid.

Alex is saying piles of words - no idea how many! He's now distinguishing between wheels, balls and circles, but every fruit that is round is an apple. He is very chatty, and tells us exactly what he wants! 'Outside' is a favourite word, as is 'milk', 'book', 'car' 'byebye' and 'bubba'.

We need to make sure we spend more time playing with him - in the late afternoons he seems to get naughtier and naughtier and it always seems to be when we're trying to get other things done! He knows he isn't allowed to tough the fire guard, so when he wants attention he goes and gives it a really good shake!

Our days aren't really very eventful either - up, daycare, work, daycare, home, feed, bed! Weekends is zoo, or park, or inside activity (painting or baking or reading or dancing to music) in between food and sleep. Every week goes so fast!

My mother is visiting next weekend, I'm looking forward to it. Alex hasn't seen her in person since Jan. He has seen her heaps on skype though! Skype is excellent!]]> Mon, 06 Jun 2011 12:21:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1341022&title=november-2009-babies#1341022 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : HI Sorry to hear that you&#039;ve...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1331942&title=november-2009-babies#1331942 Author: Nay29

HI

Sorry to hear that you've separated from your DH too Nathansmummy. That must of been real hard for you at that stage and even now.

Good idea about posting photos on our facebook page, will have to put up a pic of Ethan.

Ethan still hasn't cracked the 10 kilo mark but pretty close. Hes got 8 teeth, but still not enough to chew an apple properly and swallow it. But loves pears, so he has one of those a day.

Someone was asking about the dinner times with the little ones. Ethans tea time is at 5 as well, so way too early for us to have tea. So I just do up a big stew for him and freeze it so its ready to go. Theres always a chicken one or a beef one ready to go. And if theres leftovers from our dinners he gets that the next night.

I think Ethan can say about 10 words. And at the moment anything that is round is a ball. So anything that is in his books, like a lettuce or tomato or buttons are all balls, we try to correct him but we don't win!

Will try to post more on here, but my days are never that eventful!

Sorry to hear you have separated from your DH nathansmummy. Must've been a pretty hard few months for you. Hope you're doing well.

We all need to upload some recent pics to FB group of our toddlers. They all must've grown up so much now! I will go and post one now.

Georgia is doing well in her big bed, fallen out once, but was bound to happen. Unfortunately with #2 on the way she kind of has no choice about going into a big bed. No way we could afford another cot! With the bed rail and cot bumper going around the wall, it's just like being in her cot, just a big open gap at the end of it.

So I thought we were over the teething because her eye teeth are through. Ummmm no. We're teething again. ]]> Wed, 18 May 2011 21:06:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1329262&title=november-2009-babies#1329262 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Hi everyone - just popping in....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1329231&title=november-2009-babies#1329231 Author: nathansmummy

Hi everyone - just popping in. Have to look back on the threads to find out what was the result of Andriea's scan??? Is she expecting or not?

I honestly think that a lot of us don't pop in so much because it is so busy being a mum to a toddler! Remember those child-free days of being pregnant!!!? And I just don't feel like I have a lot to report or say.

Aside from that, it's hard for me to see so many of you pregnant and expecting very soon. Don't get me wrong - I am really happy for you. I guess because I have been separated from my DH for 9mths and not sure if I will ever have the chance to have another baby which I really long for and at 36yo you know, time is ticking. So it's quite hard.

But I do wish you all the best and remember how exciting it all was!

I am loving my little boy. He is so loving and gives kisses and cuddles and he's so special, I adore him. He says lots of words and is very bright and cheeky, busy and on the go. Loves to be outside, get messy, get into mischief! Makes me laugh every day - yesterday he hopped into the bath with his clothes on. Day before he threw his shirt into the toilet. He has fair hair with curls and beautiful big eyes and a beautiful smile and he's just the best. Blimmin hard work though and I am grateful that his dad is involved a lot and I have an Au Pair to help me (I recommend it! Free board/accommodation in exchange for her help!)

He's 11kg but very tall and at the moment eating for Africa.

Regarding a big bed - I was doing some research for another parent and apparently the longer you can wait, the better. Even 3yo or more. Nathan climbs over his cot rails but I put him in a sleep sack and that stops him. He would be a nightmare in a big bed at his age!]]> Wed, 18 May 2011 20:29:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1329231&title=november-2009-babies#1329231 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : I miss our little chats too!

I miss our little chats too!

Good luck sweets, that's a lot of moving! One move was enough for me. Think we will be here for quite a while now.

Georgia tends to throw herself on the ground when she gets angry or frustrated. Usually hitting her head on something or the ground on the way down which makes it worse.

She's becoming quite fussy with her dinner now. I usually do veggies for her and she eats around 5pm because she gets so hungry. If she hears me in the kitchen she comes in and tugs on me and cries, making it really hard to get her tea ready.
Hopefully once I'm at home I can make it a bit earlier and then just put it in the microwave. I would like us to eat all together because I think that would help with the fussiness, but we're not ready to eat so early and I only get home from work around 4pm.
What do you ladies do for dinners?

Her eye teeth have come through, so hopefully we get a longer break from teething this time.
Second night in her big bed went a lot better. Will be able to steal the cot away this weekend hopefully! ]]> Mon, 16 May 2011 19:50:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1327484&title=november-2009-babies#1327484 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Well i&#039;m gonna make more...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1327313&title=november-2009-babies#1327313 Author: _Deb_

Well i'm gonna make more of an effort to post in here. It seems a shame to post all through our pregnancies and births and the early months then not really keep in touch here anymore.

We're hoping to move again soon too. lol. Moving down here was only ever going to be a temporary thing and we're sick of being down here. DP has applied for a few jobs but is overqualified for most. There's one job in Auckland that had the possibility of taking over the business but it's been a long drawn out drama. It's not looking very likely now because of money. Can't be bothered explaining it all but they might not pay enough for us to be able to live comfortably in Auckland.

Good luck with things sweets. ]]> Mon, 16 May 2011 16:45:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1327313&title=november-2009-babies#1327313 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Windy here too!

Windy here too!
I miss coming on here as well. Bet I post a lot more now my FB is gone haha. Im still a little paranoid of people reading my posts though.

We might be moving...yes AGAIN! This will be the 6th time since I was pregnant with Tai - if it happens. Its all a bit of a whirlwind situation (a good one) but I'll explain more if it happens. We should get some more information in the next few weeks - its been dragging on for a few months now and it's driving me CRAZY! I just went and had a look at some showhomes - and WOW found one I absolutely love. Wish I didnt go now, I'm starting to get my hopes up!

T used to get bitten at care. Some nasty ones, he actually has a scar on his face from one. They've stopped now though but thankfully he never started to bite in return. He has a 'thinking chair'. Sometimes he goes and puts himself there, it is hillarious.

Hows the job Jaffa? You have been there a litte while now hey, long enough for Mat leave?

Thanks sweets.

Yeah i think the biting is just an attention thing, so i'll just try to ignore it or distract her. Obviously she gets told off for biting other people though. My son went through the head banging stage. lol. I'm glad it didn't take him too long to grow out of it.

JAFA, Isabella usually bites her hand/wrist too or her arm, and then she cries. She hits sometimes, because she thinks it's funny. Little monkey. I have to say though she's a lot more gentle than her brother ever was. She loves the cats too, well the one she can get near, and is great with him. Her brother has gone back to being annoying and chasing them though so hopefully she won't copy his bad behaviour.

It's so cold and windy here today!]]> Mon, 16 May 2011 14:23:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1327165&title=november-2009-babies#1327165 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : I miss chatting in here regularly...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1326682&title=november-2009-babies#1326682 Author: JAFAjaffa

I miss chatting in here regularly too. I keep coming in and checking to see if people have updated!!

Deb, Alex went through a stage of biting himself. He'd bite his own wrist or hand and then look at us with a look on his face like, 'now what are you going to do about it?'. He has stopped that now - but since you mention the work thing sweets, I think it was mainly when DH was going back to work and Alex was going to daycare.   We used to ask him if it hurt, he'd normally nod sadly and so we'd tell him that he shouldn't do it any more!

If he's frustrated or annoyed now then he'll throw something. A couple of times he has tried to hit me, but I have always just said 'we don't hit in our family' and he stops and strokes my arm instead! I think they must do something like that at daycare.]]> Sun, 15 May 2011 20:45:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1326682&title=november-2009-babies#1326682 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Happy Birthday for yesterday Deb!

Happy Birthday for yesterday Deb!
Regarding the biting thing - I think that many (if not all) toddlers have some type of thing they do when they are frustrated/want attention/etc. Tai bangs his head on the floor mainly, but it all depends where it is. He tries to headbutt us sometimes when he's mad and he'll do it to the wall. He also throws things at us when he's angry at us. I haven't looked into it - but I've just assumed its a normal stage. I ignore the head banging and then he stops.

T has been in a big bed for 6 months now. Slept better then ever, for the first 3-4 months at least. We've had a rough patch since I started working, so for the past 5 weeks he's been coming into our bed every single night. I've just switched his bed for a double (more comfortable bed) and he's slept through the last 2 nights. Long may it last.

FYI, I have de-activated my Facebook profile. I was a little over it - and some people in general. None of you lovely ladies of course!

It's quite sad that our little group has drifted apart so much. I miss the days of chatting in here regularly.

Alex is a big boy. I don't think Isabella is very far behind him. I know what you mean about them being loud. Between Isabella and her brother i need ear plugs!

Wow LilyC not long to go now! How exciting. Glad to hear all is well.

Aww i can't believe some are going into big beds already. I won't be switching Isabella for a while. Her brother was 23 months.

It's hard to believe our babies are 18 months now or nearly. They're growing up so fast. Isabella is saying more and more words all the time. She copies new words from us pretty much daily. So cute. They're like little sponges.

She's had 16 teeth for months, wonder when she'll get the last ones. Even though she has that many teeth she still chokes on apple, so i chuck it in the microwave to soften it for her.

There's one weird thing that she does that i wonder if it's normal or not. When she gets angry she bites herself! Sometimes i think it's an attention thing, you know giving herself something to cry about so i'll pick her up or whatever. Even though she gets attention and cuddles all the time. Strange child. She bit her brother on the back the other day when he stole her seat. Stroppy little tart she is!

It was my birthday yesterday. Didn't do anything. Had a bit of crap day actually coz the kids played up a lot. But my mum and sister got me an awesome pair of Dr Martens like this. I love them! So that was a nice surprise and DP made me a yummy banana cake.]]> Thu, 12 May 2011 22:46:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1324797&title=november-2009-babies#1324797 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Hahaha, well clearly, we&#039;re...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1324663&title=november-2009-babies#1324663 Author: JAFAjaffa

Hahaha, well clearly, we're keen on Alex, Jax! But I do also really really like Liam - it might get added to our list of potentials if we have another boy (you know, eventually, when we start trying for another baby).

Lovely to hear from you Lily, and really good to hear life is getting back to normal in Tokyo. The 17th of June is so soon - I can't believe it!

Alex has only got 8 teeth, Snicket, and 6 are on top and only 2 on the bottom. They have come in in a crazy order too.

Hi ladies,

Haven't been visiting our group since March, but luckily there's not too much catching up to do ;).

All good in Tokyo, life is pretty much back to normal now. Haven't had the chance to concentrate on this pregnancy much, and I think I only have two belly shots so far! I've bought clothes for him, but haven't got the room ready or even a name! Oh this poor neglected second child.. must get my act together ;)

I'm having a c-section as I had an emergency c-section last time. Saw my Ob today and he confirmed that I'll have the operation on 17 June, so very soon!

snicket - 17th Oct. Not finding out
Jaxnz1 - 30th July - it's a boy!
LilyC - 17th June (c-section) - it's a boy!

It's very quiet here these days, maybe we should do one of those FB update-message rounds we did last year in July.

Great to hear that all you pregnant ladies are well and it's so awesome to hear about your kids' development as it seems that we're all going through the same things. they're suddenly so big! And just getting cuter every day. ]]> Thu, 12 May 2011 00:37:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1324061&title=november-2009-babies#1324061 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : I&#039;m a fan of Alex - Jaxnz1...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1323276&title=november-2009-babies#1323276 Author: Snicket

I'm a fan of Alex - Jaxnz1

I hope G feels much better soon and those teeth settle down for you. We still only have 6 teeth (4 top and 2 bottom) so have all this to come!! I'm hoping the older they are the better they cope but might just be kidding myself.

Hope DC goes well Jafa as know it is hard. We are lucky with a great lady from Porse. S even gets a whole day to herself there most weeks and loves going. Jaxnz1 I'm sure she will be all good soon but it makes it hard when they are unsettled when you drop them off. She will have lots of little friends soon and will probably want to stay when you come to get her - we had this for a bit.]]> Wed, 11 May 2011 10:12:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1323276&title=november-2009-babies#1323276 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Ok ladies, here is our list of...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1322948&title=november-2009-babies#1322948 Author: Jaxnz1

Ok ladies, here is our list of favourite boys names:

Alex
Liam
Caleb
Mason

My favourite is Liam, just have to convince DH to name him that. I think it's the name that goes best with our last name. Will decide when he's born anyway.

We've started Georgia in her big girl's bed for daytime sleeps. Will put her in there at night from this weekend, see how it goes. We have a bed rail, so it's really no different from her cot. Just a lot more room. My only concern is that she does move alot in her cot, gets in all different positions, so will be interesting in a big bed

She had an ear infection last week, so she's had antibiotics and is much better. We have her top eye teeth coming through which is probably what caused the ear infection. Poor thing, am really over this teething now! No doubt she will finish and #2 will start

Jafa, hope settling into the new DC goes well. We are still having issues dropping off, but she's fine as soon as I've left.

I still haven't been to get our 15 months vaccinations! Have been putting it off because of teething, think I just have to bite the bullet. ]]> Tue, 10 May 2011 19:29:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1322948&title=november-2009-babies#1322948 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : We don&#039;t do Mother&#039;s...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1322237&title=november-2009-babies#1322237 Author: JAFAjaffa

We don't do Mother's Day - I never have in my family, so we're not going to in ours either. It's a nice idea and everything, I just like having treats and things throughout the year, not just one day! Sunday is my day for sleeping in anyway, so I still had a nice start to the day.

We've got a month now til Alex starts at his new daycare. We're going to take him for visits in the week prior, but we are hoping it might be a bit easier on him this time around since he's already used to being in care.

We took A to Plunket on the weekend - he's now 84cm and 14.1kg. Chunky bubba! He was much more interested in playing with the toys there than being weighed and measured so he got a bit stroppy about it. Overall he's good though, no concerns. He's talking lots - the latest words are bubbles, monkey and mouse, and he's linking things together - 'no more bubbles' and small sentences like that. We're hoping that we might be able to explain 'inside voices' to him soon. Either that, or we find a mute button! He's super cute but sometimes exceptionally loud!

Snicket, let us know how you go with the transition to a big bed. I'm wondering about that too, and when to do it. Alex isn't climbing out of his cot (or even trying to) so we'll probably keep him there for a while yet.]]> Mon, 09 May 2011 21:26:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1322237&title=november-2009-babies#1322237 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : I hope you all had fantastic Mummies...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1321556&title=november-2009-babies#1321556 Author: Snicket

Deb, that is funny about the due date. My birthday is the 18th and my DH the 19th so we are hoping its either earlier or later. I so don't want it coming on my birthday as it will never be about me again!!

Jax I hope you and Georgia are feeling better. No sleep sux.

We are also getting lots of single words....super cute. They are getting closer to being wee parrots.

We moved S into the big bedroom in the weekend & she is loving all the space in her room. In a month or so we will introduce the big bed! I need to buy one first though ]]> Mon, 09 May 2011 09:39:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1321556&title=november-2009-babies#1321556 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Hey guys - wow has been a while...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1317809&title=november-2009-babies#1317809 Author: sweets

Hey guys - wow has been a while hasn't it!

How are all you expecting Mummies going? Not to far away for some of you now isn't it!

Chelle- Congrats on the pink :) It sounds sooo great getting all the girlie things together. Must be the same for all of you with girls who are expecting boys as well! And those having the same must have have a little relief that you have everything you need already

jax, hope Georgia is good?

Throw some potential names at us!

I don't know how to do the fancy writing, so will have to leave that up to someone else!

snicket - 17th Oct. Not finding out
Jaxnz1 - 30th July - it's a boy!

Cute Deb about saying duck. Georgia is able to put animal sounds together with their names now, so when you say cow, she says moooo. And pig involves screwing our nose up and sniffing a few times trying to imitate a pig.
Very cute age.

We are off to Dr today as she vomited a banana, so it may be more than teething. She had bronchiolitis about three times last winter, so am wondering if it's that again. No fun at all. She woke every hour last night until about 11pm then woke at 2am and 6:30am. Am shattered today, not sure how I'll cope with a newborn again, I like my sleep!!    ]]> Tue, 03 May 2011 09:42:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1317243&title=november-2009-babies#1317243 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Yes so very quiet in here these...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1317239&title=november-2009-babies#1317239 Author: _Deb_

Yes so very quiet in here these days, nothing like it used to be.

I think LilyC is due first.

Snicket that was my due date with my son, in 2007. He was born on the 20th though.

Aww poor Georgia. Teething is cruel.

Isabella is doing great. Saying so many words now. It cracks me up that she says duck instead of yuck. So when she has a dirty nappy she says "ewww duck". Haha. She's such a little piggy and eats a lot. Wonder what she weighs now, probably well over 12kg now. This age is so funny, it's amazing how fast they learn. She thinks it's funny if you frown at her. Weird child. lol. She's been a little pain in the ass lately at bed times, she screams and mucks around and has been waking randomly.]]> Tue, 03 May 2011 09:35:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1317239&title=november-2009-babies#1317239 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Yeah a due date for us would be...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1317180&title=november-2009-babies#1317180 Author: Snicket

Very quiet in here.

I'm pretty sure there's someone due before me. Could be wrong though?? I've lost track now!!

I am soooooo over teething. Georgia seems to be getting them one after the other. We've had 2-3 days break before she starts again. Today she has the fever and runny nose. She sat in the bath with her fingers in her mouth doing a growling cry poor thing. Not eating a thing either. She had 3 crackers for tea tonight

So cool you're having a girl tiptoes. One of each... very clever is that it for you guys now? or do you think you'll have more?

I still haven't got baby's room ready yet. Have been meaning to put G into her big bed, but with teething I keep putting it off. Need to just do it one day.

Definitely got really quiet in here!! I've joined the September 2011 thread too and we've mainly all moved to a private facebook group. It moves so fast, so chatty hehe

Oh baby in general seems pretty quiet. Maybe everyone has moved to facebook groups.

How are you feeling Snicket? Are you finding out if you're having a boy or girl this time?

Not sure if I mentioned it yet or not but we had our scan and we're having a girl I've gone off and got a whole lot of pink stuff for her room like a lamp, hamper, bedding etc.. it's all a pink winnie the pooh theme. We started cleaning out the spare room over Easter and now it's ready to start getting put together. DH still needs to put in a new wardrobe so there's some shelves and then he's got to paint the wardrobe doors and the bedroom door. The doors have been downstairs waiting to be painted for 2 years hahaha so now he'll finally need to get it done.

Who is the first due from our group?   Maybe we should do another due date list?

It's a great age isn't it. Georgia has so many words now. She understands alot and we have to be careful what we say now

We started at her new DC today since moving. Dropping her off was horrible. Felt terrible and stupid preggie hormones almost made me cry but she was fine for the rest of the day and when DH picked her up she wasn't that keen to go home!

She's getting good at tantrums and is having trouble just playing on her own, which makes it hard for me to get things done. I think it may be the whole unsettled period of the shift etc. Hopefully she comes right before this baby comes!

We haven't been for our vaccinations yet. I keep procrastinating. Might book it for the Thursday before easter. We're just staying home, so might be a good opportunity.]]> Tue, 12 Apr 2011 19:51:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1304973&title=november-2009-babies#1304973 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Oh Jaffa that totally sux re your...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1304592&title=november-2009-babies#1304592 Author: Snicket

Oh Jaffa that totally sux re your care. I would be so frustrated. Fingers crossed they find a new location.

Yes we have had our check with plunket you need to ring to book this appointment as they don't call you for it. I had a note on my calendar as she had mentioned this at our last visit. It is pretty basic with weight and height etc.

I agree about this age just being magic. They are so cute in their wee worlds and they totally understand everything now which is a great help even if they can only say a few things. We just had a weeks holiday at Cooper's Beach with my husband's family and it was fantastic. I'm really really struggling to get into work now though.

I had my 13 wk scan yest and all looks good. I love that scan as you get to see all of them cruising about. It makes it all seem so real too. I'm feeling much better now too and feel like I'm getting back to my old self as well. I hope all the bumps are growing well.

Lily, how are you doing?

So I was thinking that this age might be my favourite so far. Alex has learnt 'I don't know' and 'no more', complete with sad facial expression and perplexed shrug. We ask him, "Alex, where is your digger?" and he looks about with a big show and says, "I dunno". Then he finds it and says, "Mumma, THERE!". So cute.

Everything is going pretty well for us, aside from having to find a new daycare because the place he is in at the moment is being demolished so ANZ can have a bigger, fancier entrance to their building. Apparently someone there described the daycare as 'dead space'. So unimpressed. Anyway, we have til September to find somewhere for him, but I am really hoping they might find somewhere else and be able to move the centre to a new location. It's just so disappointing when he is all settled, and he loves the carers, knows the routine and they know him and what he likes!

Enough moaning! Has everyone had their 15 month checks from Plunket? I know all the babies are over 15 months, but we haven't heard from our Plunket nurses (despite me even being on the committee!) so I booked him in to another clinic that does appointments on Saturdays.

I hope everyone is going well, it's so quiet in here these days!

I've told everyone now, so it's too late for anyone else to find out, but I thought in general it would be a bit nicer to be more anonymous, since I don't know who is reading what I write. It was actually a friend's husband that told me he'd seen it, which was a little unexpected. I'd actually assumed his wife had guessed anyway, so didn't matter but just weird that people can secretly read what I write and know it's not me, but not mention it. I'd be no good at having a blog haha

Glad to hear you're ok Lily! That's really funny about the matching outfits, hehehe. I hadn't thought of that for boys, but now that you mention it I want matching outfits if we have two boys too!!

Sounds like a fab week away Jaffa, I had my first weekend away from Cooper (maybe I should go back to calling him DS haha)and I missed him heaps (and DH) but was also really nice to have some time to myself and catch up with friends. It also made me feel like we could take Cooper away, we haven't yet as been a bit scared, but think we could handle it now and it would be worth it.

It sucks when that happens sweets, Cooper does that sometimes with teeth coming in. He often still wakes around that time and I bring him into bed and usually he'll go back to sleep. 6-6.30am is pretty regular for us, but we've had a few more around 7ish lately which has been nice. Is he waking because he's really wet or cold? Those are two things I've heard can cause early waking. Not sure what to do about the wet nappy thing except change to a more absorbent nappy or a bigger size?

Good idea about the activities Jaxs, post any decent links you find. I hope Georgia settles down soon, so hard when you're not sure what's wrong. I always seem to assume teeth.

Hey chelle, are you not telling people at the moment? Or is it just a 'in general' it's better not to have an obvious user name?

So we're going to have the best week ever this week coming. On Tuesday DH and I got a babysitter, and we're going to the FOO FIGHTERS! So excited. Then on Friday we're off to Sydney for a week. It's going to be so nice to have a break and take Alex around all the fun kiddie things in Sydney.

And once we get back from Sydney I am back on the exercise and watching my food wagon. It has gotten out of control over the past few weeks! I'm sure I am getting more colds because I'm not exercising as much now! I seem to pick up every bug that Alex gets, and DH hasn't been sick at all.

Didn't really matter about either of those people as I thought they'd both guessed anyway but just in case I write something I shouldn't I thought I shouldn't have such an obvious username!

I'm wondering if anyone is having troubles with the kids waking up really early? Little guy is waking up at 5.30-5.45 every day regardless of the time he goes to bed. I've come to accept this as the norm atm but if there is a solution I am all ears.

I hope your ok Andriea

So glad to hear all is ok Lily, you must've been petrified when it all happened. I feel so sorry for people with families over there. Seeing little toddlers and babies being pulled out of rubble heartbreaking.

Guh, G has been a real handful lately. I don't know if it's still teething or what. This evening she screamed at dinnertime, so I put her in her cot for a while where she was quite happy. She was ok after a little rest and had some tea, but then halfway through her bath she just started screaming again. Then fell asleep drinking her bottle. I think it's just that she's not sleeping long enough during the day, but she just won't sleep any longer or have another nap later in the day. She's been going down between 6 and 6:30pm the last few weeks.
I'm not sure what I'll do when daylight savings finishes, her bedtime will be even earlier! Ugh!!!

Chelle, I plan to google lots of different activities for G once #2 comes along, so that I can set her up with a different activity while I'm feeding etc. She has a fairly short attention span, so will have to have lots of ideas up my sleeve ]]> Tue, 15 Mar 2011 19:17:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1285840&title=november-2009-babies#1285840 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Hi ladies, Thanks for your messages!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1285271&title=november-2009-babies#1285271 Author: LilyC

Hi ladies,

Thanks for your messages! We're all ok and here in Tokyo the situation isn't really as bad as one might think after reading online papers. It's been however the toughest few days in my life, that's for sure! Luckily things seem a lot better now, the after shocks are becoming weaker and even the worst case scenario re the nuclear plant isn't going to harm anyone outside the evacuated 20 km safety area.

Congratulations Snicket, wonderful news! Also, congratulations to Jax and Chelle on finding out the sex. Chelle, be prepared to hear other kind of news in the next scan though. I was told at my 16 week scan that we're expecting a girl, but 5 weeks later got a huge surprise as the sonographer congratulated me on a healthy boy!

I hope you're ok Lily! I imagine it's terrifying enough without a little one and pregnant

Congrats Snicket!! So exciting that quite a few of us are pregnant again.

I just uploaded a belly shot in the photo's section if anyone is interested, I think I'm about a month ahead size wise from last time.

Great news about the new house jax, a fire in winter sounds devine. Where do you live, maybe I'll have to come by

We use curash powder for rashes Snicket, DS has had a couple of really nasty ones with his molars, like shaking with pain when I tried to wipe his bum. Anything but but the powder made him scream harder. I did find it cleared up within a couple of days, not sure if it was the powder or just short intense rashes. These teeth are no fun.

We've both had colds too, so a few sleepless nights but on the mend now so had a really good sleep last night and a pretty good one the night before.

Any tips and tricks Deb and anyone else with two bubs? I should probably start taking notes now of ideas on juggling two kids.

YAY congrats Snicket!!!! So exciting all these new little brothers and sisters coming along. Hope our toddlers cope alright with the change!

We've just had the worst teething so far. I can't even see which teeth are coming through. She had the works - nappy rash, dribbling, sleepless nights, off food... everything. She's been better today, but it seems to have gone on for weeks this time round I'm procrastinating on the 15 month jabs because of it.

On a more positive note, we sold our house and bought another place in Hamilton. So we're on the move in 2 weeks. Hope G adapts to the new house ok. It's got a fire place which I'm really looking forward to, especially with a newborn. I may never leave the house

Hope everything is ok with you Andriea.]]> Mon, 07 Mar 2011 19:25:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1280791&title=november-2009-babies#1280791 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Yep.

Oh congrats Snicket! So exciting all these new babies on the way. Corn flour is great for nappy rash. I've used it on both kiddies and no matter how bad their nappy has been the corn flour always makes it better really fast.

Glad to hear the scan went well chelle. I reckon it's a boy for you too.

OMG Isabella's whinging is doing my head in! Doesn't help that her brother won't stop annoying her.

How are you doing Andriea??

Oh Andriea thinking of you and best of luck with the scan. We are here for ranting!!

Congrats Jax that is fantastic news.....so exciting to be having one of each

Yay Chelle, so pleased to hear your scan went well. So exciting with another lot of pregnancies.

Oh that note I'm UTD too! Only 8 weeks but had a scan last week just to check and there was a heart beat so starting to get excited.

I had a question for you girls. What have people done to deal with nappy rash? S is quite red on her 'girly bits' on the front and it doesn't seem to be subsiding so I was wondering if anyone had some tips? We had time in the weekend with no nappy on (two lots of poos on the floor!) but it doesn't seem to have improved. I'm also trying the Bepanthen Ointment but this doesn't seem to have improved it either. We have just got a new tooth but haven't had this before so a little concerned and would love any ideas/thoughts?]]> Mon, 07 Mar 2011 09:46:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1280431&title=november-2009-babies#1280431 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : Oh no Andriea you poor thing!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1279513&title=november-2009-babies#1279513 Author: tiptoes

Oh no Andriea you poor thing! That is such a shock that this could happen. Good luck with your scan.

Yay Jaxs for one of each! Very exciting. My nuchal scan went well and she did a close up and it looks like boy bits but she said it's too early and girls often look like boys at this point too. Was cool that she checked it out for me though, and I reckon it's a boy

Great idea about painting the driveway jafa hahaha I've heard painting the house with water is another one that amuses them for ages too.   That's great that Alex has been so healthy. Hopefully daycare doesn't change things as maybe he's built up his immunity already - maybe that healthy appetite has helped!! I always remember you saying about him finishing his meat/vege and then his pudding stomach opens up hehehe ]]> Fri, 04 Mar 2011 21:01:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1279513&title=november-2009-babies#1279513 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : OMG Andriea!

Oh it's this week Jax - so awesome. Please remember to stop in here and let us know (yes, we are living vicariously!). And good luck for your nuchal scan chelle. I just found out one of my very good friends is pregnant, I think she must have the same due date as you (was 12 weeks on Friday).

My mother told me that she used to give me a paintbrush and a bucket of water and told me to paint the driveway. I was entertained for hours. Clearly I was not very clever! Anyway, it's what I fully intend to do to Alex when he's older.

Alex hasn't been to the doctor other than for imms. He is a ridiculously healthy child. I guess that'll change this Winter since he's at daycare now.

We're off to Waiheke this weekend for a wedding. Nice long weekend for us, I am so looking forward to it!!

That's a bit cheeky of the doctor to charge you guys. Strange if they've started now - or has he not been before? I remember taking Cooper to the doc with spots when he was about 10 weeks old and it was just mozzie bites

So sad about what has happened in christchurch. I can't stop watching or reading about it. I was so shocked to hear how many people are still trapped in buildings too.

Yay about #3 next year Deb and only a few months till the middle of the year jafa!

Good idea about keeping daycare going when #2 arrives Jaxs, then you get a day just with the new baby.

So cute that your girls are starting to say more words. Cooper still only says a few things but heaps of sounds and today I started saying 'what? what?' to him as he sounded like he really was trying to say more stuff. Loving this age too, Cooper pulls such funny faces to make me laugh and he is so full of hugs.

It sounds cool the things they're making at daycare, Cooper did a painting at playcentre, but he's not that into it anymore. He just wants to race round in circles or play in the sandpit or playground. It's interesting to watch very distinctive interests evolve.

Overall sleep has settled down and has improved so much. We still get some crazy nights as he's got one molar fully in and two on the go but quite a few sleep throughs too - though later to bed and early to wake so probably still a similar number of hours in a row but more when I'm asleep which is what counts haha

Awesome about midwifery sweets, so exciting to find a new career that you're into.

Exciting about finding out the sex of your baby this week jax. One of my good friends was certain she was having another girl and just found out she's having a boy.   I'm the same, I feel like it's most likely a boy. I've got my nuchal scan on Monday and hoping to get some 'nub' shots to see if I can guess boy or girl. So looking forward to seeing bubs again and being able to tell everyone. I'm 12 weeks tomorrow so telling a few friends I'm seeing in the morning.]]> Fri, 25 Feb 2011 21:57:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1275128&title=november-2009-babies#1275128 <![CDATA[November 2009 babies! : The middle of the year isn&#039;t...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1274155&title=november-2009-babies#1274155 Author: _Deb_

The middle of the year isn't very far away JAFA! Doctors aren't supposed to charge for under 6's, but some still do. I've never had to pay.

Man i can just imagine the mess if my two got to paint! lol. I do keep thinking though that i should get a roll of paper and some paint and let them go for it. Outside of course!

My lovely child thought it would be fun to aim the hose through the toilet window when he was playing outside yesterday. So now the carpet outside the toilet is soaked. Who'd have kids!!

So so sad about CHCH. It's all i can think about. I've seen some really heartbreaking photos. Like the dying man with his wife holding his hand. Very tragic stories too.]]> Thu, 24 Feb 2011 15:20:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25003&PID=1274155&title=november-2009-babies#1274155
