Yay Im glad you guys have come and posted in her too! Glad to hear both of you and your boys are doing good. That is iteresting about the difference between boys and girls. I guess I will find out in a few years! The only real difference I notice so far is how laidback Aiden is compared to Isla, but that could be a personality thing, and the fact he wasnt sick like Isla was at this age with her reflux and eczema.

Isla can now write her full name, she loves learning new words, and can write hospital, Mum and Poppa too!

I would love #3, but we are not decided for sure yet. Will see in a few years time. 2 is plenty at the moment. Aiden is an easy baby, but sleep deprivation is so hard, plus Isla is still very high maintenance, lol! I find her a lot of hard work. Mum helps me out heaps- my parents moved here last Nov. She has Aiden when I work too.]]> Thu, 22 Jul 2010 20:35:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=1106805&title=october-06-toddlers#1106805 <![CDATA[October ’06 Toddlers : Martine, I also thought it was...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=1106744&title=october-06-toddlers#1106744 Author: katie1

Martine, I also thought it was really interesting the difference between boys and girls now at this age! : ) It really stood out to me reading all the comments etc.
So lovely to hear how everyone is. What a great idea Kelly. I hardly ever come on here anymore but it so nice to read about everyone. Like Andie said our wee October mummies group is awesome.
My boys are good. I can't believe we are so close to having four year olds. Ollie goes to kindy three mornings a week and is about to start a fourth in a few more months. I really love that time with just Harry. I am doing a bit of relieving here and there - normally a day a week which I like. Ollie is still super determined and busy! He is really into building with blocks and makes amazing big constructions everywhere! He also loves writing and drawing. Harry s favourite word is Ollie and it is cute how much he looks up to him. They are getting better at playing together now that Harry is able to do more but like Martine said when they both want the same toy I certainly know about it!
Is anyone thinking about number three?
Anyway, great to hear how you all are. x

Hi all,

It has been ages since I have been on this site too and like Andie I regularly go on FB now and see what people are up to on there.

My two boys are growing like mushrooms. Ollie is a right character at the moment - he is sooooo energetic and certainly keeps me on my toes. He attends daycare 3 days per week which he loves. We decided to keep him there rather than choose kindy because the structure is pretty similar and it also works out well with me because I got a part time job working at the daycare centre doing administration 2 days per week. Sebastien is also going to the same daycare on the days that I work and starting from next month I will have 1 day per week all to myself while both boys are at daycare yay!!!

Sebastien is 2 next week - where did that time go? Can't believe my baby is 2 years old the boys have just started sharing a bedroom and so far it is going well. I tend to put one of them to bed about 30 minutes before the other so that they don't talk all night ha ha!

The boys play quite nicely together most of the time until one of them snatches something off each other and then there is a screaming match!

It is so interesting reading about what girls are into compared to boys! Ollie doesn't really talk much about his upcoming birthday. He is too busy playing with his train sets or cars or running around after his little brother.

Anyway enough of me. Nice to see that everyone is doing well. I will certainly try and update on here more regularly.]]> Thu, 22 Jul 2010 15:24:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=1106424&title=october-06-toddlers#1106424 <![CDATA[October ’06 Toddlers : So glad u checked in too Andie!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=1100223&title=october-06-toddlers#1100223 Author: Kellz

So glad u checked in too Andie! Our group defintaly was awesome! Ohbaby is so massive now I cant keep up with all the threads and dont try to either, so I miss all the "juicy" threads mostly anyway and only hear about them via peoples facebook updates too. I mostly just hand out in the Jan 10 thread, but miss all my Oct 06 mates!
Great that Ella had outgrown her allergys too, so awesome! Is Reuben on an "everything free" diet?
Aiden seemed to be heading the same way as Isla with the reflux early on, but have managed to control it with my diet. Hes very intollerent to even the tiniest trace of soy tho. I dont have cows milk but do have small ammt cheese, plain yougurt and cottage cheese which he seems to be ok with. I also dont have caffine and a bunch of other things tho, but hes doing great now! He was exclusinely bf til 6 months, and weve just started solids tho hes not very interested yet!

Anyone thought about schools? Isla"s been on the non-catholic waiting list at the local catholic school since before she was 2, and we find out this Oct if she has a place. Still undecided if she will go there even if she gets in. The closest primary is a no-go ( local Mongrel mob kids go there), and the next closest is good, but huge- over 500 kids, and the playgroud is across a road, which puts me off. The other option is good but futher away. Still only a 5 min drive tho, but the catholic and the other 2 are is walking distance- well on fine days- 15 plus mins walk. I like that the catholic one has smaller classes, and a uniform!

Kelly you've started a revival!  LOL.  Can you believe these kids are heading towards their 4th birthdays?  Eeeeek!  Ella's started looking at the birthday cake book already.  To be fair, she talked about her 3rd birthday party for 6 months, and only stopped that to start making plans for her 4th.  It's so cool to hear how Isla and Brenna are doing, and that Isla's grown out of her allergies - wo-hoo!  Ella, too.  The only thing she doesn't eat now is nuts, and that's just as a precaution, until she's four.  Reuben's still on Neocate, but he's started growing out of his as well.  Ella loves kindy (I love kindy!), and like Brenna she's right into playing mummies.  She loves writing, too, & I love the stuff she scrawls. 

OK it's with some amount of shame that I admit I haven't looked on here for, I dunno, since that last post in September '09... and only hopped on the site 'cause I was so curious about what all the hoo-ha about OB was that's been on FB.  Apparently people are getting their knickers in a twist in a big way!  But it got me thinking, while I don't have time to participate on this site anymore (but I check FB regularly), I really did get a lot out of it, and that's mostly 'cause of our Oct babies group (and some other absolute gems out there who I've been lucky enough to become friends with) - I wouldn't have got to know any of you ladies otherwise, and I'm so glad that I did!  Maybe I'm a little biased, sure, but our thread rocked, 'cause it was a bunch of top-shelf people with big hearts, much wisdom, a good laugh and no shortage of kind words.  You ladies have been a big source of support for me through some of the tough times, and I really appreciate it, and only hope that I repaid some of that support, too.  So while I might check this forum annually, I'm glad to see you still on FB, so keep in touch, peeps!

Its nice to know my brain still works for something other than nursery rhymes and nappy changes

I have made sure to bulid a little village for myslef this time around so havent lacked adult conversation, even tho the conversations usually revolve around babies! Have around 6 mums and babies over here every couple of weeks, as well as seeing each other at playgroup and music. We even went out at night a few weeks back and are going to make it a monthly thing!

Good on you for being a IHC volunteer. My mum did that when we were kids and I think it was great for us to learn to be accepting of others.
I am doing meals on wheels once a month, help plunket with their pnd group once a month, and am waiting for the training to become a breast feeding peer support buddy. ]]> Sat, 10 Jul 2010 20:03:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=1094173&title=october-06-toddlers#1094173 <![CDATA[October ’06 Toddlers : We&#039;ve just started going...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=1094159&title=october-06-toddlers#1094159 Author: Brenna

Hi Anna! Yay Im glad someone replied. Not sure who else is still around here these days.
Brenna does sound just like Isla! Glad she is doing well.
Im also back at work one day a week. Started on Wed. Doing one 9 hr shift on a rotating roster- so could be any morning or afternoon shift any day of the week- I will know about a month in advance. Mum is looking after Aiden, and Isla if Im working on a day shes not in daycare.
We go to a playgroup at a playcentre on Tues monrings, and to mainly music on Thurs mornings. Aiden is enjoying the music group already too which is fun!]]> Sat, 10 Jul 2010 19:25:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=1094122&title=october-06-toddlers#1094122 <![CDATA[October ’06 Toddlers : Hi Kelly Sounds like everything...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=1094099&title=october-06-toddlers#1094099 Author: Brenna

Hi Kelly    Sounds like everything is going great for you. Isla sounds just like Brenna lol

She also loves playing 'mums' and being the teacher, writing etc Anything to do with kindy she's right into.
She's at kindy 2 days a week 9-3 and I'm working 1 day (Ellie goes to a home based carer).

Brenna hasn't been sleeping during the day for ages but I still send her to bed every day for a rest. It gives me a nice bit of time to myself.

We also took Brenna to her 1st movie the other day - Toy Story. She loved it too. It was so cute!!

I hope others pop in here to catch us up on their big kids ]]> Sat, 10 Jul 2010 18:59:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=1094099&title=october-06-toddlers#1094099 <![CDATA[October ’06 Toddlers : Hi everyone!

Hi everyone! I miss you guys and thought it would be cool to catch up and see how everyone and their nearly 4 yr olds are getting on these days!

Isla is as outgoing and full on as ever! She is very caring, loves her baby brother, and loves to play "Mum" and "teacher" and to boss others around, lol!
Shes really really into writing at the moment. She has a white board that she will sit at and practice and practice writing at for ages!
She still loves to sing and dance, loves dressing up and wearing lots of pink and jewlery!
She goes to daycare 3 days a week from 9-3pm, and after the holidays is moving up to the "big class"! Scary to think this time next year we will be getting ready for our 'babies' to start school!

She is just dropping her day sleep, just been having one at daycare in the last 3 weeks, and not at home. She is sleeping better at night tho now which is good, *touches wood* she sleeps from 7.30pm til 6.15am.
She no longer has any food intollerences or eczema or anything which is great.

I took her to see her first movie yesterday- Shrek in 3D. She was sooo excited and loved it!

Would love to hear how the other kids are doing. ]]> Sat, 10 Jul 2010 16:12:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=1093988&title=october-06-toddlers#1093988 <![CDATA[October ’06 Toddlers : I know, it&#039;s a bit scary...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=820412&title=october-06-toddlers#820412 Author: Tastic

YAY about the house. Happy birthday everyone. Ollie started kindy this term and it is generally going well. The first week was brilliant but this week we have had a few tears on leaving. I always ring them after ten minutes and he is fine and happily playing so I guess that is a good sign. He is shattered right now at the end of the week and is asleep on the couch. I am packing to go away for the weekend so it is actually very handy!
Anyway, better get off here and get something done.]]> Fri, 23 Oct 2009 13:58:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=815394&title=october-06-toddlers#815394 <![CDATA[October ’06 Toddlers : Cool about your house Andie!!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=806423&title=october-06-toddlers#806423 Author: Brenna

I love colour themes, Kath!  Ella went to a 'red and white' party once and everything was red or white, the kids included, and it was just gorgeous.  Looked easy to do too... I was gonna do the same this year but got suckered into the butterflies (mostly cause I want to make the cake I've seen!). 

But Anna, your party plan sounds the best of all!!  Ah, if only, eh.  When you've got a newbie you just can't throw a party like before though, can you - way too much stress when you're just too busy for it already. 

They're not 2006 toddlers now, are they?  Bring on the Kindy!  Ella won't start until next year (bummer).  Hey - we sold our house!

Good wee Brenna helping out. Thats cute. Hope Ellie's head heals quickly.
How are you coping with everything? I hope you are doing ok.
What a cute picture Andie. Just gorgeous. They sound like they are going to be great wee mates as they grow up.
I have been starting to think parties a bit Andie. Am going to do a bright purple VW cake for Ollie plus these really cute wee car cup cakes I found in a picture. We'll just have a few friends around for a play and afternoon tea.
For Harry (a week later) we are going to have a BBQ and I haven't quite decided what cake yet. Thinking of making his theme sort of bright yellow and orange - very vague I know!!!!

We are good here. Ellie's head is still in the healing stages and it's the biggest scab I've ever seen!!! We've got an appointment with the dermatologist tomorrow for them to check it and to let us know what to expect further on down the track. Apart from the head, Ellie is doing well. I'm having to top her up with formula as she doesn't seemed fully satisfied after a feed so tomorrow I'll head off to the herbalist to get a mixture made up for my boobs...used it with Brenna and it makes a big difference!

We have been very quiet!! I'm guessing it's cause our kids are keeping us all just too exhausted to hop online anymore! I've tucked mine into bed for their naps, and today Ella begged to nap on the couch in Reuben's room (she loves having her naps in huts, or made-up little beds), so we've done that, and all I can hear through the monitor is them giggling! I knew it wasn't likely to work, but they sound so happy I'm not gonna bust it up just yet.

Can you believe these October babies are nearly THREE?!?! Oh my gosh!! That first year lasted a decade and the next two have just flown past.

Kellz, I wana take back my bet that there's a boy in there! Purely because of the peek you sneaked at the scan. And because I love to shop for girl prezzies!

Did I mention that Ella is in the current Allergy Today magazine? 3 pages of her! With her there, Chiara looking pretty as anything on Oh Baby, and another friend's daughter on the cover of Little Treasures I'm feeling like I'm among the famous! I hope the rest of the October mums are doing good - are we all pondering birthday parties? Doing 'butterflies and bugs' here. ]]> Tue, 22 Sep 2009 14:11:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=782784&title=october-06-toddlers#782784 <![CDATA[October ’06 Toddlers : I haven&#039;t been on here for...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=760924&title=october-06-toddlers#760924 Author: katie1

I haven't been on here for so long and when I do it is super quick. I am so sorry I haven't commented for ages in here.
Anna, CONGRATULATIONS on the arrival of Ellie. I didn't know until I read this thread now. That is so wonderful and Brenna will be loving being a big sister. It sounds like you had a tough start going by what others have written. I hope all is ok now. I'll read in your Aug thread for more details. Hope you are ok. Big hugs.
Kellz, wow over half way. Great about Brents job. That is wonderful. How are you keeping? Hope the pregnancy is not making you too tired.
Andie, my wee man can be challenging too. He is also super strong willed! Just remember that later it will pay off - when they fight for the sunny room in the rest home for us!!!!! My Harry is so super placid and I am just so thankful for that. He is such a happy smiley wee man. Couldn't handle two fiesty ones!
Emma, I have been meaning to PM you for ages. Chiara is so gorgeous on the magazine cover. I smile every time I see it on a shop shelf. I almost feel like I know her now! What gorgeous outfits she got to wear too. You must be so proud.

Had the 20 week scan Wed, and although I tried to make myself not look,...I did and Im sure there were no boy bits when I got a clear as view of where they should be. Im no sonographer tho, so Im so not gonna believe what I think I did or didnt see, lol!

Congrats again Anna. Hope things are going well with Ellie at home. Im sure Brenna just loves having a baby sister!

Brent already has another job thanks Andie. He was only off work 2 weeks, and got paid for that, and by the end of the first week he already had another job to go to. So lucky, and hes so much happier there so its all good. Pay is the same, but no work van so down to one vehicle which is a tad annoting, but Im gonna make him start riding his bike the 4km to work soon so I dont have to take him by 7.30am each morning!

Isla was the same with TT too- the minute we sugessted using the loo or potty she would freak and not use either for weeks- once I gave up and got used to the idea she would be in nappys forever, she did it all herself and quick as too. Was fully in undies at 2yrs7 months, and out of nappys at night too within 6 weeks. Has only wet the bed twice and both times she was sick.

Hope everyone else is doing good.

Hi all! Long time no chat! I haven't been on here for ages, so I was so happy to see news of Ellie's arrival on facebook! I just lurked into the August thread to see if there's a pic of the wee girl but couldn't see the pic that's posted for some reason... I will go nose about on FB next! I'm so happy for you that she's here, Anna, and my heart goes out to you for how scary her first week must've been. Nobody wants to need NICU, and you're a real trooper for making it through! I hope Ellie's only getting stronger and stronger - glad she's home. I adore the name Ellie, by the way!

The gremlins sound like Ella with TTing, Emma. She did it when she was good'n'ready, and nothing would change that so I'm glad I didn't push it too much! Still in night naps though, and we still bribe with sweets for #2's. I was telling Kelly and Emma how Ella's behaviour can be, erm, mightily challenging these days! Those 2-year-old tantrums have nothing on the nearly-3-deliberate-naughtiness. Jono and I are doing the 6-wk Parents Inc 'Toolbox' course, and it's really good info, but the bulk of it is stuff that we're already using, so isn't very new to us - at least it's reassuring, 'cause there are days here where I wonder if I'm doing something terribly wrong or something! I think I just have a very strong-willed little girl, and that's fine, it'll pay off for Ella when she's older I'm sure. I'm counting my lucky stars that Reuben doesn't seem to be of the strong-willed variety (he's such a little cruiser!). One is enough! Despite the behaviour, I'm loving being a mum of 2. Love it, love it, love it!

I hope the job hunt is a quick one for B, Kelly. Is cabinetry something he could go out on his own with? Very cool about your folks moving into town.
My bet is: Boy ]]> Sat, 29 Aug 2009 15:17:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=760159&title=october-06-toddlers#760159 <![CDATA[October ’06 Toddlers : Yay for your parents selling Kellz!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=741110&title=october-06-toddlers#741110 Author: Maya

Yay for your parents selling Kellz! Not so yay about B's job, I was hoping that it wouldn't end up that way for you guys . Oh well - I guess he can always be a SAHD of two and you can work instead (dreams are free huh?! )

So close now Anna, I have been lurking in the August mums keeping an eye on you and Fiona, she's in labour right now so I'm hoping to have a squidgy new baby to visit really soon!

Yay for James being TTed Danni! The gremlins are now fully day trained too, the odd accident here and there but only like once a fortnight. I am still shocked at how easy it was, I reckon there really is truth in waiting til they are ready coz they got it so quickly. If I'd tried to push them earlier when my Mum was harping on about them being still in nappies it could have been a disaster.

How's things in your neck of the wood these days Andie? I watch your FB for updates (and get all the goss from Aimee when her and Greer are up)

Welcome Moogels, and welcome back Emma (GabysMum)!

How is everyone? Not long to go now for u Anna! How exciting! Saw midwife this am and booked 20 week scan- almost 1/2 way already! We wont be finding out the sex this time, so feel free to make guesses everyone!

Vusy with renovations, but stressful living in a construction zone- this is the 3rd week of having tradesman here everyday. All the internal walls have been plastered and are getting painted from tomorrow. Have had all the driveway/carpost and pasts ripped up, and should have all new concrete by end of this week- so far the garage floor/carpost and path to back door are done. The rest of the section is a muddy mess, fun fun!

DH lost his job on Fri. At the mo he is helping with work on the house, but will look for something soon. Not likely to get another cabinet making job tho cos all the companys around here are pretty slow at the moment.

Mum and Dad sold their house yesterday! They were just slowly getting it ready to sell, but it wasnt even on the market yet! Settlement is Oct 4, so they will be moving to Gisborne somethime after that- they may build, but will still be here by end of the year, yay!

Hope everyone is good.

Wow Anna 30 weeks already that has gone fast and kellz just about in the 2nd trimester man time goes fast.

James' toilet training is going pretty well still as the odd accident but other than that he's doing he puts himself on to the toiles and is even doing no2s on there now so thats good.

Took him for his first swim yesterday and he loved it wish I had taken him sooner but have cut my hours back at work so I can do more stuff with him so and loving spendin that extra day just me and him.

On a sad note ny Nana died about 2 weeks ago so was back up north for that she is in a much better place and the last couple of weeks can't of been easy on her she died of secondary cancer that was really rapid.

Emma OMG I cannot beleive how much your girls have grown saw the photos in your signature I am finally starting to see a little difference between the Gremlins now and little chiara is such a cutie.

Sorry Andie that Reuben has been sick for so long, it sounds like ella is really good with him and loves her little bother to death.

I have been worried about what I will be like after I finish work too Anna, for the same reasons. I finally feel like my life is back on track and Im totally happy, and being back at work 2 days a week has been a big part of that. It helps me to have plans and structure to my day- just before I went back to work I felt like how on earth was I gonna manage with keeping the house clean and working etc, so I wrote out a plan of job to do what days, give myself lunch/ohbaby break etc so that I have more structure and it worked for me! If I dont have certian things to be doing at a certian time or day i tend to leave everything and get stressed more. ]]> Mon, 22 Jun 2009 21:10:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=707392&title=october-06-toddlers#707392 <![CDATA[October ’06 Toddlers : That&#039;s so cool about the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=707387&title=october-06-toddlers#707387 Author: Brenna

That's so cool about the TT Kellz! and how exciting to see bubs on a scan. It makes it seem so real once you see that heart beat

Sorry to hear Rueben has been so unwell and cute at Ella's comment to you lol

Brenna also seems very grown up too. She loves going to kindy and asks everyday if she gets to go. It such a relief that she loves it cause man it was hard to leave her when she used to cry! The damn preggy hormones certainly didn't help either lol

Well only 4 1/2 more days of work for me - last day next Wed. Woo hoo!!!

Lol about germs and bugs Andie. Sorry Rueben has been sick for so long. Everyone I know had had colds and infections lately- we have not been immune , but are well again at the mo.

I often look at Isla and think 'wow shes so grown up!', but when shes asleep she still looks like my wee bubba!

Im doing great. 11 weeks now. Saw baby on scan last week- theres definatly only one, however I am already massive, lol. I got a bump early on with Isla too so Im not really suprised. Isla loves to cuddle my belly and poke her finger in my belly button and tell me she touched the baby, and that its gonna come out of my belly button soon! Lol!

Isla has now been toilet trained for the last couple of weeks. Now goes all day at daycare without accidents too which is so great!

Hiya's! It's been forever!! How is everyone? Thanks for the heads-up on FB that the site is super-speedy now, Emma! How's this baby coming along now, Anna? That's amazing that your DH knows the sex and you don't... he must be great at keeping his trap shut!
How's your bub treating you, Kellz? Does Isla know what's about to hit her when baby arrives?
My baby is great - he finally rolled in the weekend at 5 1/2 months - he is such a cruiser I thought he'd never get there! Still gets a great deal of "love" from Ella, who calls him Wooben Doll, and really does treat him like one of her dolls. He's been well for one week in the last 5, but at least he's no longer man-sick! Getting his hips looked at again this week too, but I've just seen that Palmy hosp has an outbreak of Norovirus again, so I'm thinking, maybe we won't be going there! No thanks!

Are your toddlers looking very grown-up now? Ella isn't too toddler-ish these days (except at tanty-time!). I'm so proud watching her grow but it's happening so fast now. She told me the other day when she was angry, "No mum. I don't like you. You've got germs and bugs".

Am with you - I am really reassured when I hear other people get it too. Sometimes I feel like mine is worse than everyone elses!!! Lots more jealousy and possessive behaviour with toys etc. He never used to be like that. I get silly tantrums about things like trying to help him do ANYTHING! It takes us forever to get out of the house because he has to do everything himself in his own time. I need more patience than I have some days!!! He He!

Out of curiosity, anyone else getting some seriously challenging behaviour from their 2 1/2 year old?  I don't know if it's the age or jealousy kicking in, or a bit of both.  We seem to have achieved zero compliance here now, and I'm getting so tired of constantly putting out fires (not literally... she can't reach the lighters just yet).  At the point now where if I want to shower, I need to wait until Reuben has a nap so that I can take ELLA into the showerroom with me - used to be the baby who had to come!  But if I don't, by the time I get out my cosmetics are spread over various surfaces, kitchen is everywhere, CD's hidden, you get the picture.  Lots of tantys at the drop of a hat, too... anywhere.  I'm sure it's a phase, but it's an exhausting one!  Any of her other October buddies there with her?

James likesthat programme I think because it has a robot he seems to be into them at the moment he puts the washing basket over is head and pretends he is one. What I don't get is if it is from the 70's or is made to look like it is I fingd it very bizarre.

james is good he's getting really big now is about up to my hips and is picking up on everything it amazes us with how much he actually knows his grommets have fallen out so will be interesting to see if he will need them put back in or not.

Just been back up Warworth again as my Nana has got cancer again and is starting to go down hill but she seems to be dealing with it pretty well so thats good so will be up again some time soon.

Heres my Haircut.





And one of James.

Cool about the not-job Andie It's feel great to do volunteer work. I used to do riding for the disabled and will do it again one day when I have more time.

Oooh Danni - got a great haircut?

Ella picked up germs at the beginning of last week and quickly shared them, so it's been some long days and nights here! Reuben is just not equipped to deal with the 'flu yet, poor little fella - his turned into Man-flu and he even managed all-nighters thanks to it!

I just took on a new little not-job (is a voluntary position) and I'm all excited about it! I'll be a 'Mentor Supervisor' for a new agency in NZ called Fresh Perspective (you can find them on Google if you're feeling nosey) - it's all about hooking parents up with others who are trained to be Mentors, to offer them a hand in a supportive way. It's a way cool agency! Only a few hours a week for me, which is about right for where I'm at these days. I do love working, but I'm enjoying staying at home with Reuben and Ella more, especially while they're so little.

Hey, who else has seen that awful Yo Gabba Gabba? What the...?!? Is the presenter guy there to promote acceptance of special needs? cause if he is, then it all makes sense, but if not, what were they thinking?! Kids shows were so much cooler when we were little, eh. ]]> Fri, 15 May 2009 08:38:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=686688&title=october-06-toddlers#686688 <![CDATA[October ’06 Toddlers : Wow thats awseome news Kellz havenm&#039;t...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=680422&title=october-06-toddlers#680422 Author: Bubbaloo

Congratulations Kellz that is very exciting news!!!

Glad to hear that the food challenge test came back with great results Andie - you must be wrapt!

Wow Kath I also can't believe that Harry is already 6 months old - time really has flown.

Hope the maternity leave isn't too far away for you Anna - you must be counting down the days.

I have my hands full at the moment with my boys. Ollie has been a real challenge lately with his demands and I just found out today that Seb has an ear infection - our boys have never had ear infections so was really surprised to find out Seb had it. Hopefully it will clear up soon.

TT is going OK. Ollie has been pretty good with doing wee's on the potty and yesterday finally did his first number 2 - I was so proud! Hopefully things will progress alot quicker now as I really want to have him TT before he starts kindy later this year.

Wow time's flying - Harry's on solids already?!? Can't believe it's been 6 months! Congrats, Kath     
And how long till the end of term, Anna? Bring on the maternity leave. Yee-ah.

Ella had her food challenge for dairy on Thursday and Oh Yeah she has outgrown the allergy!! Woo-Hoo!! We don't yet know to what extent, but certainly not anaphylactic now which is all I really needed to know. We went to LoneStar the next night and she ordered off the menu - so cool. She also ate their table salt straight off a plate and when I wasn't looking I caught her with my mini wine bottle tipped into her mouth... hrmmmm. It was so fun letting her taste everything off our plates (except my prawns). Having the best weekend here - I did Kapiti Isl yesterday and it's so worth it. Had a kids party today, and Reuben even behaved himself for it! He's teething but isn't yet old enough to use a teething toy properly, so Jono tied one on his playgym so it sits just in his mouth... seems to work!

Far out I'm happy for you, Kellz. ]]> Sun, 03 May 2009 15:31:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=676776&title=october-06-toddlers#676776 <![CDATA[October ’06 Toddlers : Congrats Kelly!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow 6 months already! I bet its extremely tiring with more than one, especially bf.

Islas not in undies. She ocassionaly wears them but always wets herself within like an hr. Still using pullups- sometimes she will go up to 8 times on the loo in a day so is doing well, other days only 2 or 3 times. If she is wearing undies she gets annoyed with me asking her if she needs to go, but wearing pullups I dont ask, and she just takes herself. She doesnt use a pitty or a kid loo seat- we have both, but she prefers to climb up on the loo and balances herself on there well. lol! Had a completely dry night once last week- was a fluke but we were so proud!

Hi
Am sure it won't be too much longer Kellz. It is horrible waiting each month isn't it.
Our TT still going the same. We have accidents most days (the odd one with none) but he is happy wearing his 'In the Night Garden undies' and he generally goes happily to the potty when I remind him(sometimes have to bribe with a coin for his money box - he has no idea of the money concept but loves posting it in the slot!) It is saving me money on nappies and he is happy with it all so I think I may as well just keep going.
Nothing much to report here. Feel tired still most of the time but I guess that is normal with a baby and toddler and breast feeding - sigh! Harry is so cute. We have just started solids. He is six months in a weeks time and it has just flown. He is such a happy wee boy - I just love him to bits!]]> Tue, 28 Apr 2009 13:38:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=672859&title=october-06-toddlers#672859 <![CDATA[October ’06 Toddlers : Hi everyone!

Work is going good, really enjoying it. Happy just doing 2 days still tho.
Nothing to report on the ttc front either, other than Im sick of waiting for af to arrive each month. Didnt have any of that with Isla as we got preg the first month! Was hoping that would happen again.

Gremlins do 7pm til 7am (with 1-2 wake ups most nights) and are not having a day sleep regularly, just a nap the odd day if they are really tired and occasionally they crash out in the car if we've been out.

Sounds like most of the Oct kidlets are taking their time with the TTing which is a relief - my mum is like yours Martine, keeps telling me they should be TTed by now . Mind you, I will confess that part of it is laziness, I think only the past couple of weeks that they've actually been ready but I've done nothing about it. Sienna will wee on the toilet if you put her on it, but Mercedes is still flat out refusing to even put knickers on.

We haven't been too bad tantrum-wise here lately, but they have their moments, believe me!

I survived the flight over with the four of them, the gremlins were great, they played really nicely, it was lil miss that was hard work and wanted to climb everywhere.

We're taking them to the beach tomorrow which will be cool, they love the beach.]]> Sat, 18 Apr 2009 22:10:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=663883&title=october-06-toddlers#663883 <![CDATA[October ’06 Toddlers : Probably the same here too over...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=662106&title=october-06-toddlers#662106 Author: katie1

How long are you kids sleeping at night if they dont have a day sleep? Im guessing that its longer than Isla, but will be intersesting to see.
Isla still always has a sleep at about 12.30 for 1 - 1 1/2 hrs, and sleeps 10 1/2- 11 hrs at night - so 12 hrs a day total. ]]> Thu, 16 Apr 2009 20:43:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=661975&title=october-06-toddlers#661975 <![CDATA[October ’06 Toddlers : What a good idea about the audio...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=661968&title=october-06-toddlers#661968 Author: Brenna

What a good idea about the audio book Kath! Brenna still goes to bed each afternoon for about an hour but would only fall asleep about once a month. At least it means she has a bit of down time. Yes, behaviour here is a battle too. She seems to go through phases where she doesn't want to doa thing we say to then being a lovely thing...I keep telling Jeremy that it's her age, not her personality behaving like that. It makes me feel better to think of it like that otherwise I find myself getting very frustrated with her...ah the joy of 2 year olds!]]> Thu, 16 Apr 2009 20:34:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=661968&title=october-06-toddlers#661968 <![CDATA[October ’06 Toddlers : Hi Martine!

Hi Martine!
So lovely to read your big post. You made me feel better when you wrote about the tantrums - about half an hour ago I ended up in tears as I was feeling so over my Ollie. Obviously I love him to bits but he is SO strong willed and demanding. Lots of tantrums over such stupid things. Today I wanted to do something nice and go to the park. Sometimes it feels like a mission getting them both sorted but I was really organised and all set to go then Oliver just threw big tantrums about getting his shoes on and getting dressed etc. He is so determined about everything. It just gets so tiring trying to be patient but also firm and consistent.
I was feeling really sad too because Harry is growing so fast and sometimes I feel like I am so busy having to sort Oliver and toilet training etc etc that he just lies around on the sideline.
Harry is a big boy too Martine. I think he will probably be around the same size as your Sebastien at six months too.
Lucky you going to the Gold Coast. That will be fantastic.
We still have day 'rests'. Sometimes he sleeps and other times he just rests. I downloaded an 'In the Night Garden' audio book from Itunes and he listens to that in bed. It keeps him really nice and relaxed and is a good rest. Usually he falls asleep with it on. It has been my life saviour as it was starting to be a struggle to get him down in the daytime.]]> Thu, 16 Apr 2009 16:38:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=661771&title=october-06-toddlers#661771 <![CDATA[October ’06 Toddlers : Hi girls, It has been ages since...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=661744&title=october-06-toddlers#661744 Author: Millie1976

Hi girls,

It has been ages since my last post. I have been lurking but not writing.

We are all pretty good at the moment. We have all been sick recently with tummy bugs, colds etc etc but all seems to be good right now.

Kellz I also wouldn't stress about the TT. We have only just started and I think it is going to take a while until Ollie is properly trained. I have been getting a bit of pressure from both my mum and mother in law but I don't care - Ollie will do it in his own time - at the end they all catch up anyways and I also think that the parent has to be ready before you start.

Andie I am pleased that you are finally getting over your bug - it is awful feeling like you have no energy - yay for DH being around to help you out!

Anna - cool that you went up to the Auckland zoo - I have never been before must make the trip some time :) can't believe that you are already over 20 weeks - where has the time gone?

I hear that Emma is off to Sydney visiting her parents - how exciting!!!!

Kath sounds like you had a nice relaxing easter and were able to get out and about. Going for walks is always so refreshing isn't it?

We are off to the Gold Coast at the end of May for a 10 day break - can't wait! I think Ollie is going to have a blast as we are going to take him to Sea World and Australia Zoo - he is really into animals at the moment.

How is everyone finding their children's behaviour at this age? I am finding Ollie quite a challenge some days as he throws a lot of tantrums!! He is generally pretty good. Is everyone's little ones still having afternoon naps?? Some days I struggle to get Ollie down and he just doesn't sleep so I leave him to play with his toys.

Ollie is starting a preschool next term on a Thursday so I am really looking forward to that. He already goes to a local community creche on a Friday and he loves it so going to the preschool will also be good for him and it also means I get to have more quality time with Sebastien.

Speaking of Sebastien he is a little monkey! He is growing up so quickly. You realise when you have your second child that they grow up so much quicker than when you have the first one because you have so much more time for your first child. It makes me soo sad!! He is great though and such an opposite looking boy to Ollie. They are going to be great playmates when they get older. He has his 9 month check up next week will be interesting to see how much he weighes. He was 9.2 kgs at 6 months so he must be well over 10 kgs!!

Sorry if I have missed anyone else and waves to you all.

Hi everyone
Kellz we are going very slowly on the TTing. There is still heaps of time so I really wouldn't worry. Isla will do it when she is ready. Heaps of children are not toilet trained at this age.
Your wedding sounds awesome. Must have been great being bridesmaid and being so involved.
Sorry to hear you feel a bit down - so hard being tired from work and then having a toddler. I always tend to over think things when I feel like that. I can understand the feeling worried how you will cope thing. One good thing to remember is that you have done it once and come out the other side with the most gorgeous wee girl. You know how to access help if you need it and you can also put things in place before the baby is born to give you time and support.   You will probably find that the baby thing seems so much easier this time around. Also Isla will be at an easier age by the time you have another. PLUS you can come on here and we'll be here anytime.
Awesome about the appointment Andie.
We are all well. We had an awesome Easter. Before that I was feeling so tired and a bit over things. Night wakings were getting me a bit down so the break away was fantastic. We got out and did lots of walks. I feel much more refreshed.

I'd say don't put yourself under any pressure Kellz regarding TT. Brenna still wears a nappy for bed and doing poos and I'm not going to try and rush her - I've figured she'll do it when she's ready.

That's great about the appt Andie and yay for shopping.

We took Brenna up to AKL zoo today and she loved it! I'm shattered now though and Jeremy is asleep on the couch snoring! lol]]> Wed, 15 Apr 2009 14:51:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=660703&title=october-06-toddlers#660703 <![CDATA[October ’06 Toddlers : Glad things are in motion for...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=660526&title=october-06-toddlers#660526 Author: Kellz

Glad things are in motion for getting the Neocate. Stink there is nothing else for the reflux tho.
Yay for new pants!

Our Easter was good. I worked sun and mon tho.

Been getting myself down a bit about how I will possibly some with being preg/having 2 kids when Im already exhausted after my 2 days of work, arghhh. I know I worry way way too much, but its stressing me out and I dont know how to stop worrying about it. Scared of ending up like I did with Isla and soooooooo dont want that again. arghhh.

Isla is good, still gonna be ages til shes toilet trained I thing. Feel like I should be doing something to make it happen quicker, but dont know what!

I'm with you on the nice easy birth bet! Anna do you think you'll do a waterbirth again?

Reuben saw our Paed and the wheels are in motion for his Neocate    ...and he's already at the upper limit for reflux meds so that's as good as that gets (shhhit) ...and next time Ella has a hospital appointment it'll be for her food challenge for dairy - woo-hoo!!! I'm having a good week 'cause I finally bought new pants (been waiting to see if I'd regain my usual weight after losing it once Reuben was born before I shelled out for new pants. But that Farmers sale got the better of me and now I own pants that fit properly - niiiice).

Did everyone have a nice Easter? I was recovering from that blardy virus for most of it but it was great that Jono could be around to look after the kids, 'cause I kept having to go to bed! We don't normally see so much of each-other over the weekends so it was lovely to feel all very 'family-ish'. ]]> Wed, 15 Apr 2009 08:48:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=660349&title=october-06-toddlers#660349 <![CDATA[October ’06 Toddlers : I&#039;m saying girl and eight...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=659769&title=october-06-toddlers#659769 Author: katie1

I'm wanting to set up a Easter egg hunt for Brenna and her cousin Ava, just keep forgetting to ring my SIL to ask her if she wants to do it!
IL's are coming over for tea tonight so I've been busing in the kitchen making a lemon merangue pie - what a domestic goddess! (There's flour everywhere and I can't be arsed cleaning it just yet so I'm on here instead lol)

I can't remember if I've posted this already... we had our anatomy scan on Mon and it was great! Everything is looking wonderful and we've decided to keep it a surprise.

J is finishing my hot water cupboard that he started building me 3 years ago ( I think he's finally had enough of the nagging lol) so now I'll have a nice warm place to finish off drying my clothes in winter.

That's great about swapping the appt Andie. What a relief!!

Wow, a busy Easter, Kellz. The bridesmaiding sounds great fun - pity about the pre-dawn wake up call tho!

Yaaaayyyy about the flash new job, Natalie! Congrats on your decision! It sounds very cool.
I was thinking, Danni, I find Ella napping on the floor heaps too - or on top of the toy trolley that's sooo not built to take her weight (it's a disaster in the making!). Usually she's stripped to just her nappy, too. But recently she's been emptying her clothes drawers, trying the lot on, then dozing off in random outfits like a tutu skirt, shrek ears and boots.

I'm very happy about Reuben's Pead appt - I checked when Ella's was (was made months ago) and it's next week - our GP rang the hospital and the Doc said she'd let me swap them since Ella's in more of a review and Reuben's is more urgent. Stoked! I'm hoping he won't be tummy-buggy by then - I think he's caught it but if he has it's either just beginning, or not a rotten dose. I'm just coming out the end of another bout. Lordy!

Hey are people planning easter-egg hunts for Sunday? I've got these cute Easter treats to hide around the place for Ella and a Dora easter tin she can put them in... can't wait! Hope it's a happy Easter for everyone. ]]> Fri, 10 Apr 2009 13:11:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=657474&title=october-06-toddlers#657474 <![CDATA[October ’06 Toddlers : Hi everyone!

Hi everyone!

Thats great about the scan Anna.

Andie, sorry that your attempts to help Rueben have menat u had to stop bf. What are u gonna do about not seeing a Paed til June? Thats ages! Can u see one privately any quicker? How stressful. Cute about Ella's prep-talk!

Congrtas on the new job Nat. Sounds great. Doubt there will be a sibling for Isla anytime soon, so u definalty not alone there!

Danni, yay for james and the TT, thats great. Is;a is still along way off yet. Trying not to stress about it tho. No idea what to do about the sleeping on the floor thing. Can u keep his door open? We only shut the door if isla comes out, then we give her a warning that we will shut it if she comes out again. hardly ever have to shut it at all now. She is well used to sleeping with noise tho, and wont go to sleep if its dead quiet.

Hi Emma! Have missed u in here,..then we u come back I go awol for a week, lol! Any lans for Chiaras birthday? I wanna invite myself and need to book flights! Lol!

So last wed we went away to Matarangi on the coromandel,..got back last night. Was bridesmaid at my friends wedding on Sat. We stayed at my auntys house, and my parents met us there for the weekend too, and looked after isla while we were at the wedding. It all went great and we had a fab time!

Anyone else now getting up at the crack of dawn thanks to daylight savings?! I knew we would be in for 5.30am starts again,...and lucky us the first morning was the night after the wedding when we were out to the small hrs and hungover,..oh the joys! Lol!

Gonna have a quiet week catching up on washing and housework. Gotta choose taps ect for new bathroom which should be getting done in the next few weeks, yay! Im working Easter sun/mon, and we have my nieces 2nd birthday party on sat.

Hope everyone has a good week!]]> Tue, 07 Apr 2009 12:14:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=654816&title=october-06-toddlers#654816 <![CDATA[October ’06 Toddlers : Great news about the job Natalie lol...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=654393&title=october-06-toddlers#654393 Author: Brenna

Yay James! Good work Danni! Not sure about the floor thing, but I often go in to check on the girls and find Mercedes asleep at the foot of Sienna's bed. I just leave her there, I think she likes feeling close to Sienna.

Hang in there Andie, I promise it does get easier. The crap times seem to last forever then one day you wake up and realise that it hasn't been that bad lately. Good luck with the paed thing. I wish I could help re: the Neocate but I gave the few tins I had stashed away to one of the Auck mums who was waiting for a #.

Well done Ollie going on the potty too! I'm gonna buy the gremlins potties tomo, Sienna is doing OK with the toilet but Mercedes flatly refuses so I'm hoping a potty will be more attractive to her.

Hey everyone TTng is going good were are only really trying in the weekends as wer are home all the time then so we'll see how he goes over Easter then we will try a day at day care in undies and nappies for naps last weekend he only had one accident so am very proud of him.

He has however created a habit of sleeping on the floor so don't really know what thats about might just leave him to it when I go check on him when I'm going to bed he is snug against the doorr put him back in bed he is still out to it and when I go wake him up in the morning there he is again back on the floor right up to the door I thought maybe it was because the light comes in underneath so then turned on a night light for him but he still does it

That is awesome Nat about that job well done.

Sorry that your test didn't go to plan Andie and that Rueben has to go onto neocate.

Ah, I feel better now that I've geeked. Started here, went to the January thread, Facebook, checked the e-mails, back on here and I'm done! It really is like a coffee break for mums!
Hey who else is excited about the new Huggies promo? I'm thrilled about it. Ella has a pretty play-tent in her room and loves it, so I wanted to get Reuben one, but smaller 'cause his room is smaller, and preferrably black & white. Then what do I see? Just perfect, that offer! Even better I've been saving my barcodes since the last offer and just need to buy wipes and I can order away. ]]> Sat, 04 Apr 2009 15:57:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=652704&title=october-06-toddlers#652704 <![CDATA[October ’06 Toddlers : I&#039;m exhausted, Kath!

I'm exhausted, Kath! Got Reuben's Paed appt today... for mid-June! Stuff that for a joke - time to take action. Plus, we'll need a steady Neocate supply by long before then.
I'm very impressed with Oliver and Ethan's TT progress! And that is just too cute about Oliver taking his undies to bed!
We're still gradually introducing the concept for Ella - basically I catch her with the 'doing poos' look on her face and we go to the loo... she's all excited about using the toilet, hops on, then holds it. Really wants to use the loo but just can't! And she ends up terribly constipated, so I only let her do a few days of trying before just pretending I don't notice her 'going' in her nappy until after the deed is done. I also dose her up with a glass of Soy when she's too constipated to actually do it... how dodgy is that, using her intolerance like that! Doesn't cause her stomach pain though, so I'm not really that mean. Am I ?!    

Natalie your job offer sounds awesome!! Congrats on being head-hunted too - you know you rock at your job when that happens! I hope the nerves calm down soon. Do you think it's 6 of one, half a dozen of the other, whether or not toddlers have siblings? I think they're lucky if they do, and lucky if they don't. Those without siblings get mum and dad to themselves, and haven't had a tired grumpy mum for the year that she was preggers then with newborn. Pro's either way, I think   

My poor girl's had grumpy mummy (and screaming brother) all morning, so I think I need to break out the new Play-Doh with her this afternoon. *Big Hi to Emma and Kelly and Shelley too! Hope work is good this weekend Kellz    Hope you get another decent sleep again soon, Emma! ]]> Sat, 04 Apr 2009 15:26:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=652693&title=october-06-toddlers#652693 <![CDATA[October ’06 Toddlers : It sounds great though Natalie,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11129&PID=652648&title=october-06-toddlers#652648 Author: katie1

It sounds great though Natalie, a big change, but great all the same. Congratulations. That is awesome to be offered something when you weren't actually actively looking. Yours skills must just shine out!!!!
I have just been to a school fair and got so many bargains - feeling very pleased!! I joined in with all the other people pushing around a table grabbing at things all over the place, filling up plastic bags etc. It was craziness!!! I filled a bag with awesome puzzles, toys etc for ten dollars and then another one with books. Lucky I didn't have any more hands or even more would have come home. Such great things though - vtech toys, awesome DK books, great great educational puzzles and games!
I started toilet training this week and the first few days went well but I am just not sure if he is quite ready. The first couple of days it was all a big novelty and he loved having his big boy undies on
and going in the potty. The last two days though have been more of an effort.. If I don't remind him every half an hour or so he has a wee accident (which doesn't bother him) We don't make a fuss about it - just change his pants and carry on but it makes me wonder if he is not ready yet. Some of the time when I say about going to the potty now he says "no wee wee" . Do you think all that means he is not ready or should I just keep trying. He loves wearing his undies! He has even taken a whole pile of his new car ones to bed with him!!!! They are all piled up by his pillow. Funny wee man,
Emma, maybe I will just get used to sleep deprivation too. I laughed when you woke in a panic at five thirty!

Hi everyone....man I must be the only one not with another baby by now, or one on the way, or one trying to happen....poor Ethan the lonely only child....

Things are all good here, fully fully toilet trained now, only  a night nappy  which is often dry.

In my other news I have been offered a new job, I wasn't looking for one, but have been offered a position as a head teacher/supervisor in the babies centre where Ethan goes. I have pretty much said yes, but have been stressing to the point of midnight panic attacks over it all. Not actually the job, but the fact that I would have to work more hours, leave the comfort zone of where I am now...blah blah blah...nothing really to stress about it's just a big change....

Ha ha Kath, not a star, just well accustomed to sleep deprivation. I had one night last week when all four of them slept thru and I woke up at 5am in a panic - I'm not used to unbroken sleep!

Big hugs Andie, I'm sorry the great experiment didn't yield the result you wanted, but at least now you can deal with part of the problem. The gremlins were exactly the same - right ferals on breast milk but perfect angels on Neocate, and by studiously avoiding everything till 10 mths we managed to stave off the allergies save for nuts, so it's not neccessarily a life sentence for wee Reuben. It's promising that Ella has done so well with her allergies decreasing in severity with time too.

Looking GREAT Anna! Definitely a cute cute bump. Do you have a gut feel of what you are having?
Does it feel similar or different to last time?
Andie, it is great you know which way you are going now. I know it was a hard decision but it definitely sounds like it is for the best. You have tried all the options and a happy baby is the only way to go. Cute about Ella.
Both my boys and colds and are miserable. Was up most of last night so feel rubbish today. Just taking it easy. They are both sleeping now so I should get off here and rest myself. I thought of you last night Emma and thought you are a star to be managing four!
