April, May and June Mum’s!

Hi there I have a May baby too - Joshua Hadynn born 3/5/06. Currently likes the same things as your wee girl, and dislikes... well, not much really! Joshie is also beginning to get the starting signs of teething, lots of drool everywhere.... NICE

Going to jump in here although my boy is an april baby!!! 

Leo was born on the 22 April, he was 4 months old last tuesday!  He also LOVES his jolly jumper and his big brother, is giving us lots of gorgeous big gummy grins and laughs out loud which is just soooo cute!!  His current dislikes are loud noises and we are also getting a TON of dribble lol!!!  Will have to keep an eye out for teeth!

I should have made this a Feb to June 2006 Mum's thread as there seem to be only July and August going hard out!

Would you believe it? It was my day of action, vacuuming, doing the laundry and changing the linen on the bed, I was so stoked to see the sun this morning, I even took Olivia outside to have a little sunbathe. But dammit all it's clouded over! I bet its going to rain too! If we had butter I would do something constructive like bake but OH WELL it must be time to chat online!

She hates it, but she at least tries to roll off her tummy which is good progress, I don't like the fact that she hold her head up too high when she rolls, first time she landed heavily and gave me such a fright.

OMG HAHA, what in the heck are you feeding him!! My gf has a little girl who is off the charts as well, she's about the size of a 1 year old and is only 6 months old, I was so taken aback by her size I said "Is she standing yet?" I got a dirty look and a "No, she's only 6 months" I'm such an idiot! She was a gorgeous bubbah though, nice olive skin like her daddy!
Books is a great idea for tummy time, I have a few toys to wash yet, and I think some of them are those fabric books. I do get on the floor with her but it never makes much of a difference, I need to be goddam interesting!

I'm in New Plymouth, I had a cesaren as well, but it was elective due to breech presentation (glad I didn't find that out while I was in labour). I was pretty stoked with the whole process actually. I got my baby 5 days early and the op was a breeze. Olivia was 8lb 10oz, but that was because I had gestational diabetes as well. I actually had a pretty sucky pregnancy! I was so glad to hold her in my arms. I know what you mean when you say you can't ever imagine loving someone so much, I can't bear to be away from her at all, I've started back at work part time (every second weekend) and I just can't ring home or I want to go home, it's terrible! I would be very happy to be a SAHM.

Clare, I remember you from the preg board, I think we were due around the same time!  He was actually 5 days early, due around the 23rd - 27th April.  Leo was a natural birth which amazed me since I had such a hard time with my eldest, he was a forceps delivery with every pain relief you could imagine lol and the dreaded episiotomy and stitches!  I got by with just the gas with Leo which was the most painful thing I could ever imagine lol but my recovery was so much easier 2nd time around.    I am also a SAHM, well I work from home doing accounts for our business which works well for us!  Peace did Olivia move around a bit?  You would have thought they would have figured if she was breech before you were in labour.  I was lucky to have a fantastic pregnancy, I would LOVE to do it again but DH is pretty happy to stop at our 2 boys!  Oh and I'm in Napier!

Right better get my boy dressed for school, have a great day!!

I can't imagine leaving Olivia in daycare either Clare, theres a girl at my husbands work who went back to work when her babies were a couple of months old and a mojority of their day is in daycare. She says working is much easier than looking after the baby - sheesh. I don't think I could handle Olivia getting sick from other kids either. My ability to panic over nothing drives me nuts enough!
KiwiMummy, Olivia spent from 18 weeks till 39 weeks crashing into my cervix with her head (which felt like having electric shocks to my birth canal every hour or so), thats how they found out I was breeched, my midwife booked me into the OBGYN to have an ECV (turning it around in your tummy with a scanner and hands from the outside), but the Dr said that my tummy was too tight!
I love Napier, I have a friend called Simon Bingley who lives there now, hes a primary school teacher. I haven't been over in a few years. I love all that stuff to do along the shore!
Well it's another day, the sun is shining and I can see black clouds heading my way, thank God for a washing line in the garage or I would be screwed. And it's shopping day today! I make too much work for myself sometimes I think Time to stop making my post so long!

LOL at the pixie ears!!! I love Olivias cute little eyebrows, she looks like a real character!

Have also been to the supermarket, just needed formula but came out after spending $70!  I need to be restrained in that place lol!!!

Right off to check out trade me, another place I should be restrained from!
