So sad to see how quiet we are in here now!

Just want to say Hi to all that we haven't spoken to in a long time!
Hope you & your babies are well!

Hi im new to this forum, I have a little boy who was born in June 2010. He is now a 1 year old walking monster! I cant believe the stuff he gets up to (and in to!). haha.

Hey folks, been ages since I've been on here too so might look up the FB page. Good to hear there are some brave Mummies going in for bubs number 2 or more! We're all good, Ashley is super boisterous and started taking random steps the other week so not too far away from walking. Hope everyone is well

Hi Leks and Guest and Jess3

Yes the facebook thing, you can still be anon, i find, it's also easier to keep up to date.

Congrats on the new babies, how cool!!

Koby is on tooth 8 and his teeth are MASSIVE!! he loves to give big toothy grins. ]]> Fri, 03 Jun 2011 22:25:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29009&PID=1339972&title=june-2010-babies#1339972 <![CDATA[June 2010 babies! : I'm not too worried about...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29009&PID=1337235&title=june-2010-babies#1337235 Author: leks82

I'm not too worried about him not walking yet...just surprised since he was so eager to roll/crawl/stand before he was ready. My son's night sleeps improved dramatically when he got his own room after we moved house, he's such a light sleeper I think we were waking him up all the time without realising. He sleeps through for a few nights in a row then wakes once for a few nights, not really sure what's causing that pattern but I can't complain, it's so much easier than getting up three or four times a night.

I'm also due in January, hopefully it'll be easier to have a summer baby...I remember being so worried about my son getting cold that we pretty much kept him wrapped all the time and had the heater in his room running all day and night for a long time. ]]> Tue, 31 May 2011 09:11:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29009&PID=1337235&title=june-2010-babies#1337235 <![CDATA[June 2010 babies! : Hey Leks, like the others, I tend...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29009&PID=1336803&title=june-2010-babies#1336803 Author: EmDee

Hey Leks, like the others, I tend to catch up on FB though I am on OB most days.

C is walking, but my eldest was 14 months before he started walking. 'Normal' actually has a big range, so try not to worry - he'll get there when he's ready. I'm thankful that C's day sleeps are good, though he still wakes at least once in the early hours of the morning for a feed. I do notice that when he's had a really good dinner, he lasts much longer, so I'm confident he's waking because he's hungry.

Yep I still b/feed it's sooo much easier. When I head back to work at the end of June he'll have a bottle of formula during the day, but I'll keep up the b/feeding morning and night.

Congrats on your pregnancy, when are you due? I'm due at the end of January and there are a couple of other ladies who are also preggy again at the moment. I think Biddy is due first. I'm thankful that so far (knock on wood) ms has been pretty much non-existant

Hi I'm a June mummy too, I don't really post much on forums but I have been checking in on this one occasionally since I was a few months pregnant and am a little sad to see it's died down. I mostly just like to see where everyone else is at and compare to my own child to make sure we're keeping up since I don't know anyone with young children. I'm not a fan of Facebook, I like my anonymity...

Anyway, my son is super healthy and doing great, not walking yet for some reason but he takes a few steps by himself every once in a while when he can be bothered. He's been a difficult baby since the beginning, doesn't like being left by himself most of the time and doesn't sleep while we're out so it's been hard to get things done during the day. I'm pregnant again and have trouble changing his nappy without having a gagging fit, but I'm looking forward to my son having a sibling to play with eventually.

Anyone else's children not walking yet? Or have nap/sleep issues? Is anyone still breastfeeding? ]]> Fri, 27 May 2011 21:57:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29009&PID=1335354&title=june-2010-babies#1335354 <![CDATA[June 2010 babies! : Hey guest 47298 - I know what...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29009&PID=1334541&title=june-2010-babies#1334541 Author: Jess3

Hey guest 47298 - I know what you mean about going mental especially on days like this when it's pouring down. We don't use the forum a lot anymore, but have a facebook page that lots of the mums use - there's a link for it further up this page.

In the end I ditched my facebook account - I had too many awkward friends that aren't actually friends and I never actually write on it or put pics on anymore.

What's your little boy up to? and how are you managing being pregnant and having a little one to chase after? Same with you Biddy?]]> Thu, 26 May 2011 19:45:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29009&PID=1334541&title=june-2010-babies#1334541 <![CDATA[June 2010 babies! : hey i know our children are almost...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29009&PID=1332648&title=june-2010-babies#1332648 Author: Guest_47298

Layne has 6 teeth
He sleeps through the night from 7pm to 7am, it's great! He also usually has 2 sleeps a day about 9.30am-11.30am and then about 2pm-4/4.30pm but occasionally he protests his sleeps and wins.
He is crawling very fast, walking around all the furniture and climbing up things. He stands on his own and has taken a few steps but only a few times so isn't quite walking.

Summa still just has 2 bottom teeth
She has 2 sleeps (usually) a day. Goes to bed about 7 - 7.30pmish and up until 2 nights ago she'd been waking about 1am, hopefully that's finished with for now! I'm quite enjoying these long sleeps, thank you very much!!
Lots of fast crawling and walking around the furniture. She has stood for a few seconds by herself but only a couple of times as far

Any Mother's Day plans?? None here, as far as I know

Where has everybody gone?

Busy lives I guess.

How are all our soon to be one year olds?
Teeth? Sleep? Moving around?

Our answers to the above: 4 teeth. Sleeps twice a day (though not if there's anything exciting happening!

) and to bed around 7.30, feed at 5am, up at 7am. Crawls very quickly, taking some steps and standing lots

And Mums... 1 thing you do to relax?

Any spare moment I have lately I am reading a big fat Maeve Binchy book

PS I used to be a school teacher - hope this isn't too much like a test? Just thought it might be nice for people to do a quick post on a couple of things rather than approach the mammonth task of trying to give an overview of a lot

Hi Andrea!

the gastro sounds awful, thank goodness you are all better now. How are you finding the new house, bet it's wonderful having more room. Poor Alex falling down the stairs though.

Our new thing is the fireplace, i've been searching for a fire gate, but they are just so expensive, mind you, it is peace of mind.

It's super chilly lately, Koby has a cold, and a nasty nose, so have had to saline him and spray the rawleighs medicated spray through his room, and rug him up in his go go bag - they are so wonderful.

Hope you are all well, not long till our little cuties are one!

Hello

Well it's been so long since I posted on here. Just had a quick read through and now I can't remember who said what! But congrats to those who are pregnant again and good luck to those TTC. Bex - Koby is such a good looking boy and walking!!!

We've had a busy time lately, we sold our house, bought a new one and then right before we moved we all got the most awful gastro bug. Baby and I were sick for a week and both lost heaps of weight. It was so hard trying to keep myself hydrated enough to BF him as he was off his food too. Thankfully, we're all good now and almost unpacked in the new house. It is SO nice to have the children in their own rooms and lots of extra space. Alex is doing great, he's a cheeky monkey, full of giggles and smiles, he just melts my heart. He's been crawling for a while now and today he learned how to climb the stairs and promptly fell down 3 stairs

So the stair gate is up!

Well, it's chilly in Auckland tonight so I hope everyone is rugged up brrrrr]]> Thu, 07 Apr 2011 21:00:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29009&PID=1302066&title=june-2010-babies#1302066 <![CDATA[June 2010 babies! : Go Kahlei!! that's fantastic...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29009&PID=1301233&title=june-2010-babies#1301233 Author: bext1

Cheryl, that really sucks about your job. I hope you can find something that suits you soon.

I'm gutten, got my time of the month today - was really enjoying NOT having one!! been so long now. Oh well.

Koby is taking steps - about 4-5 at a time. He's very very determined to walk, and I reckon he's nearly fully there. Watch this space

Hope all are well

Hi all,

I've been so slack in not coming on here - sorry! I have been checking out all the little ones progress through status updates and things though - TG4FB!

Congrats Sarah that's exciting news

I hope MS stays away for you.

I can't remember but do we have any walkers yet? Noah is doing the walking around furniture thing and has attempted to stand by himself for a few times which is exciting and scary to see!

I'm looking for a part-time job which is proving quite hard! Work said yes initially but 2 weeks later decided they weren't busy enough to have me back in the showroom

We're surviving at the moment but just not getting ahead you know?

I'd be keen to join you for a birthday catch up at the Zoo but DH wants to be with us for the first time noah goes so if we manage to get there before then we're all sweet if we don't I'll have to wait for DH

it's fun practicing tho lol

Fingers crossed the doctor is OK with your Meds and TTC.

The gap between our boys seems to work for us. Koby wants to follow them everywhere, and they like to play with him.
DP does want one more but atm I am focussing on work. I want to at least earn a good salary first!!

Thanks Becs and Biddy - its good to be back :)

Biddy - raro will be fabulous! we're headed there in october for a wedding too. I cant wait for the holiday

Me and DH have been talking about TTC this week. Its been on my mind for a few weeks now and I wanted to see what his thoughts were. We had originally planned on not TTC until sometime next year but the more we talk about it having number 2 sooner makes a lot more sense. The ther thing is that Kahlei is at the age now where she looks at other kids and just wants to play...she's really social and I think it would be good for her to have a little brother or sister close in age

So I'm about to start taking folic acid again and am planning on stopping my pill this month. I also want to check with my gp to see what the story is with taking my medication for pnd and TTC....this might be the spanner in the works but we'll see what they say.....excited but nervous too! ]]> Sun, 27 Mar 2011 11:46:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29009&PID=1293607&title=june-2010-babies#1293607 <![CDATA[June 2010 babies! : Hi all Lani, you are amazing...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29009&PID=1293443&title=june-2010-babies#1293443 Author: bext1

Ohhh congrats Sarah! You might be lucky and miss the whole ms experience this time round like I have! Haven't felt pregnant at all!

Thats quite cool about Koby and his food Bex! Layne is still quite mashed, hes great with bread and some finger foods, I think I'm holding back a bit always worried about the choking. He is very particular and hates all the organic baby food! Depending on what we ar ehvaing for dinner I just puree his a little down or make a mix of potato and kumara or pumpkin with those watties create sauces.

Wow 7 teeth! Layne has 5 and at this stage doesn't seem to cutting his 6th one yet.

Exciting about TTC Daena!

Can't believe Layne is 1 in less than 3 months!

I would be keen on the birthday meet up, not entirely sure whether I will make it though. I am the worlds worse driver so might have to think about it. The thought of driving in Auckland terrifies me, I don't even like it when DH drives.

Great to hear from you Leilani! Sorry to hear about the PND but glad you've had the support and help.

I am not 100% sure but I don't know whether I will have anymore children after this one is born. I will probably change my mind when bubs is 5 months old againt though. I will just wait and see how I go though. I just don't know if I can got through the terrifying first 12 weeks and the tiredness and all the paranoia again. It all sounds stupid I know but its such an emotional 9 months and then some once baby is here.

Layne is doing great. Hes so busy and into everything. He likes to stand and walk around the furniture and use his trolly to walk with. He tries to stand inaided but falls. He climbs the TV and dvd rack and when we tell him off he usually just turns round and smiles!!
The majority of the time he is well but has now had bronchiolitis 4 times and last week was hospitilised with it, poor boy was struggling so much to breath. He is now pretty much back to his happy self and I am glad to be home.
He has alot of hair and DH now wants to chop it off so he looks like a boy! At the hospital last week 3 people were convinced he was a girl! lol.

Thinking of you Melina and hope your doing ok!

We are off to Raro in may for a holiday and wedding, can't wait!

We think Layne is trying to day dog and tractor (the only words Ben has been teaching him). He knows exactly what they are.
If we say dog he looks out the door and sees Jade, our border collie and say DDDDDDD.
And he has a picture of a tractor in his room and he looks at it when you say tractor and says TTTTTTT
I know very minor but stil exciting.
He says daddaddad alot and only says mum when hes upset and crawls to me...feel quite special.

Wow sorry for the mamouth of a post!
Great to read up on everyone!

Hi guys!

I'm way of the loop but have finally gotten my act together and managed to log on :) We are living in Tonga now (moved here around August last year) and Kahlei is thriving. She's definitely a commando crawler - hard to keep up with her! and this last week she started standing on her own which was exciting!

I've been working since Kahlei was 3 months old and DH has been a wonderful stay at home parent. It's great here in Tonga because it's only 10 mins from work to home so we meet for lunch everyday and I get home at 5.30pm in time to bath her, give her dinner and put her down. The weekends are my absolute favourite part of the week though as it's just family time so we get to hang out at the pool or go to the beach just the three of us.

It hasn't always been easy though and I totally wouldn't put myself through the whole having a baby; moving country; house; starting a new job thing again lol! Talk about a learning curve. When baby was around 4 months I started suffering from PND and went to see a GP who was fantastic, really understanding. Since then I've been taking medication which has been a huge help. Before going through this I definitely had no idea what PND meant and how it presented itself....am so grateful for all of the support I've received though and especially for my gorgeous little girl and loving husband.

Anyway it's great to be back in touch and I'm looking forward to logging in more regularly to see how you are all doing.

Sarah - what fabulous news!! A huge congrats to you!

and Daena, I cant wait to see Gia when we move back to nz! it just seems like yesterday that we were at birthcare doing that class!

hope everyone has a great weekend! x

Ooooh Sarah, congratulations!!! How exciting

Melina - hope you are doing OK hun

Daena - you'll have a similar gap to us (21ish months). It was a little hard right at the start, but I'm glad we had them close together as for the most part they get on so well. I hope it's a quick journey for you!

Lol Jess, I'm kind of the same. Part of me would love another, but more often than not, I'm happy with the kids I've got. I brought the subject up with DH a month or so ago and he surprised me by saying he wasn't sure if we've finished - I totally expected him to say, 'NO MORE!!!!', lol. So I told him to please make up his mind by our sons birthday's so that I could mentally 'move on'

Caleb is doing great, he's such a sweetheart and extra cute (of course I'm allowed to say that, I'm his Mumma

). He is super speedy at crawling and loves to stand. He has discovered that he can climb stairs - which at our house is quite dangerous as they are very steep - so I have to make sure the downstairs door is closed when we are down there. He loves it when I am working out, especially doing abs on the floor. As soon as I am on my back, he crawls over and lies down on top of me and snuggles into my boobs

Hope everyone else is doing well xx]]> Thu, 17 Mar 2011 15:24:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29009&PID=1287270&title=june-2010-babies#1287270 <![CDATA[June 2010 babies! : so exciting sarah congrats hope...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29009&PID=1286427&title=june-2010-babies#1286427 Author: dino1

so exciting sarah congrats hope the MS stays away for you. Gia is a combat crawler as well since xmas she is just the last week been crawling the normal way since we started Mainly Muisc at the moment she likes to stand all the time.

Bex not sure of the name of the other plant will ring up Gran and find out for you. Wow Koby on the food Gia is having a mixture finger foods for dinner and snacks but more mushy for dinner she loves girl guide biscuits she stole my one this morning.

Better go chase after Gia before the cat gets hurt.

Hi everyone, its been ages since I have been on here. Hope everyone is doing well, these babies are growing up so quickly. Pip's not really crawling yet, kind of speed combat crawling though...watch out cat! She has been saying 'mummum' since xmas, but only recently started saying daddy...however she doesn't really use them in context so they don't really count. Well I have some news, Im pregnant again! Very excited, no idea when I due as have to catch up with MW on friday but guessing I am due nov - must be about 6 weeks. Not feeling sick yet - still BFing a morning feed, so hopefully that will reduce the MS this time.

what's the other plant Daena? Should look at that when i get some swan plants.

And don't be nervous about TTC! Hehe you get lots of practice first lol

Well, Koby now has 7 HUGE teeth, and loves to bite me. When he gets told off he pulls a 'sad' face at me, it's kind of funny if it didn't hurt so much!

We are doing Round the Bays tomorrow, so can't wait!!

Looks like you guys had a great time, sorry I didn't make it we had Mainly Music and it went longer then I thought by the time it had finished Gia was very grumpy.

I have 3 swan plants and no butterflies, my Nana has given me another plant which she said would attract them I love butterflies.

I am excited and nervous about TTC again keep changing my mind but would like a small age gap between kids as my family has huge age gaps and it was like growing up as an only child.

Liz, awesome HB

Congratulations!

Daena, sooo jealous of your TTC adventure soon! I know 3 is *probably* enough for us but I would still love just one more!

Go Koby with the standing! Minardi walked at 8.5months so I'm really pleased Summa is just now getting some speed with her crawling

Lucas didn't walk til 4 days before his 1st birthday... hope the smallest one follows suit!

Hi All

Leebee and all those in CHCH hope you are safe,it is so sad and shocking you just don't expect this sort of thing to hit our safe little country.

Biddy - good news on the heartbeat don't you just love that sound. Are you feeling better or worse about your labour know that you know what to expect. Work has to have a real good reason why they will not consider it but I can't be bothered taking it further.

Bex - Poor koby how is his gum/teeth ?

Gia likes to spend her day pulling herself and standing while holding onto a huggies jumbo box seems to be the perfect height for her she just stands there for about 1 hour at a time banging on the box rather cute yesterday we did do a couple of steps while holding on to a trolly thing not sure if I want her to walk she gets into enough trouble

I hear you biddy on the changing thing I have pulled the change table out and strap her in when I am by myself.

I am back on the folic acid this month as we are going to start trying for number 2 in May want to lose a bit of weight first so trying to eat well hopefully I get pg easy like last time.

Evening all!

LeeBee-I hope you and your family are all safe in Chrischurch! Thinking of you, so devastating to watch! Can't comprehend this has happened in NZ!

Melina-Big hugs to you hun, can't begin to imagine how hard it must be for you!

Bex- Poor Koby! That sounds nasty! And wow with him nearly walking.

That sucks that your job wont let you go back part time! Sounding naive, I actually didn't know they could do that. Good luck with your job hunting hun!

Jessiesmum-Hope the move goes/went well.

Layne is now pulling himself to stand and there is no point in using his safe-t-sleep anymore as he either gets out of it or manages to roll over in it and sleep on his belly or attempt to crawl around his cot.
He is also a complete pain to change and dress. It now takes me and DH to change and dress him! He wont stay still at all. We don't bath him much anymore as all he does is try to stand up so showers seem easier now.
Hes also good at throwing temper tantrums already! I think we are in for alot of trouble! He arches his back and throws himself backwards and then cries, hes so independent and stubborn!
But he ofcorse is still so gorgeous!

Baby is good too. We had a dating scan 2 weeks ago and all was perfect and today was our first MW appointment and we heard the FHB at 170bpm so I was so very relieved! We didn't hear Layne's heartbeat that early. We have our NT scan on the 7th March. Can't believe I am going to go through labour again!

Hey M!

Hugs to you. You have been so strong, it must be so hard. I am always round on Sundays, Jay goes to sports, so can try load kiddies in a car and go for a walk at Western Springs.

Wave, hi Daph!

Daena, sorry to hear about your job not letting you go back part time. Finding a new job now two days a week though should be good - not too sure what's out there these days.

Today Koby was trying to climb around the boys table, and unbalanced himself cutting up his gum, and his lip and knocking his head. His poor gum bled for a long time, and now we can see one of the front teeth that is yet to cut. I was so upset. He just cried and cried. I have to take him to the dentist so they can xray it, as my brothers gf said it could have killed the root. Poor wee bubba.

Otherwise, he is all go, still trying to get the balance thing going, he's worked out walking whilst holding. scary!!

I've decided I am not going back to work full time, work will not let me go part time which I am a pissed at as they have let others so I am currently looking for a job 1 - 2 days a week.

Wow Bext, Koby is a legend. A is still dragging himself around commando style and getting quicker all the time.

Leebee - I think you're very brave traveling with such a littlie. It took me 2 years to get the courage and maybe it would have been easier if she'd been immobile though.

Well just a quick post. We have bought and sold a house in the last 2 weeks and now it's time to pack up. Wow what a lot of stuff we have after a few years in the same house. Most of it's children stuff I think.

Better get back to it. Happy Valentine's Day!!

Waves, Hi LeeBee!!

Go Evie! Sounds like you had a great holiday, and wow about the travel. I would love to think Koby would be that good too, alas we will not be going away anytime soon.

Well, Koby is heading towards walking, we have a stride to ride lion that he walks up and down the lounge using. He LOVES it. He also wants to do everything the twins are doing, this morning they were feeding him cruskits. In the bath, they look like triplets too. Gives me a laugh.

Gosh it is hot lately, really starting to feel it!

Anybody doing round the bays?

Hi Ladies!
I know I haven't posted here in months - but I have just spent half an hour catching up on all the posts

. So great to hear what all the bubbas are up to.
Evie started commando crawling just before Christmas. Now she gets up on her hands and knees and rocks for a bit before dropping her belly and pulling herself around, so I'm not sure if she will ever bother with a 'proper' crawl.

We spent the New Year in USA with hubby's family. Evie was a trooper with the 33 hour travel there, and 26 hours home all without any major meltdowns. She cut her first 2 teeth while we were away and mastered sitting up unaided so it was great that the grandparents got to see some of her 'firsts'.

Funny to read the different reactions some of your cats are having. Mine are not at all amused now that Evie is moving. One cat in particular can get quite nasty, and Evie has a tendancy to back her into a corner, so we have to be extra vigilent to make sure kitty always has an escape route!

Take care all!]]> Tue, 08 Feb 2011 21:50:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29009&PID=1262382&title=june-2010-babies#1262382 <![CDATA[June 2010 babies! : he has the bottom two, and now...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29009&PID=1260683&title=june-2010-babies#1260683 Author: bext1

Hugs Daena, it's hard to think about eh? I was completely in denial when I went back to work with Ollie and left everything to the last minute (i.e. organising care) I think I was trying to sabotage it, though fortunately (?) it all worked out. It's great that your Mum can help out. Mine looked after my 2 for 2 days a week for a few months and it really strengthened their bond.

Does G use a sippy cup? You could use that to give her milk and completely bypass the bottle. My older 2 were only 5 months when I returned to work so I did use a bottle, but with C I'm just planning on giving him a sippy cup.

I'm putting together a proposal to change to 30 hours a week. 40 hrs with 2 kids was hard, I can't begin to imagine what it would be like with 3 kids and DH & I both working

One of my workmates has just gone to 30hrs, and apparently my work is pretty good about flexible/parttime hours for returning parents. Wish me luck!]]> Fri, 04 Feb 2011 14:37:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29009&PID=1259059&title=june-2010-babies#1259059 <![CDATA[June 2010 babies! : Hey Daena!

Hey Daena!

A part time job would be ideal if your Mum can look after Gia two days. I know she won't take a bottle, but neither did joel. in the end he took water during the day and BF when i picked him up.
Gotta love commando crawlers! Luke was one too, it was cute.

Daph, yes scary eh

and the twins will be 3 just before Koby's birthday

I end up in tears everytime I even thing about work so don't know what I am going to do! Gia still will not take a bottle she is so tiny I don't like her not having any milk during the day I don't want to go back full time my mum can look after Gia 2 days a week only so I need to find a part time job.

Gia is so fast at comando crawling she can crawl the normal way but doesn't like it she spends about an 1hour chasing our cat around the room he is so good with her.

Biddy - how are you feeling I can't wait to get PG again but I am waiting until Gia turns 1.

Bex I hear you on the food I had my greek yoghut for breakfast and Gia ate most of it.

Yay for Isaac eating and crawling!

And go Layne with crawling!

It is crazy how much they learn and in such a short space of time! Caleb has started trying to pull himself up to stand. I try to catch him before he's on his feet and move him away and distract him

Though if I'm not fast enough and he manages to get to his feet, he gets a massive grin on his face

and I feel mean moving him (so usually don't).

Caleb loves our cat, and after 2 older kids, the cat is fairly tolerant of him! He tries to 'pat her' but she has long, soft fur and he is very tactile so usually ends up closing his hand and pulling her fur

He will also find clumps of her fur on the ground and sit there with it in his fist while sucking his thumb, have to say it's pretty adorable

Good to hear you aren't feeling too bad yet, Biddy.

Fun times with 2 kittens, Bex! We thought about a puppy, but I think I will wait until Isaac is a bit bigger, one baby in the house is enough!

Isaac is now eating (hoorah!) & commando crawling, wow, it is amazing how it all can happen so fast.

Afternoon!

The weather is horrible but not complaining...rain=grass which=money for us :)

Thats for all the congrats. Still hard to believe in less than 8 months I will have 2 under 2.
No MS yet a little nausea but nothing major just making me feel yuck all the time and constant tiredness. To be honest though the thought of going through labour again is absolutely terrifying and mine was drama free. Maybe its just all a little to fresh and I can remember the pain and bleeding! lol
Tink-my early scan in on the 7th Feb, feels so far away...it also feels like it has taken forever to get to 6 weeks!

Layne still isn't crawling but isn't far away and is putting himself into a sitting position from his tummy. Hes going backwards and is exploring. Hes also trying to pull himself up and slides off us on purpose when we are sitting on a chair just so he can stand. He tries to do to much at once I think. He still doesn't roll completely over just onto his tummy.
I love it when he chats away he sounds so cute! Love his 'dadadadadad' chatter. He is such a happy boy!

We are still battling with his water here, started putting a little glucose in his water just to get some into him. Was a bigger deal this week as he decided to refuse his lunch time bottle and not finishing his dinner time one so has been getting under the mimimum recommended amount of milk/formula.

Tink-my cousin used to chew on his cot so his parents lined it with paprika so he wouldn't do it and it turned out he liked it even more when it was spicey!

Tanya sorry to hear you are struggling with solids!
Hope its improving.

Lol at your lurker comment Daphne!

Jess3- Layne is the same with the cat, he could be getting grumpy and then he sees the cat and is a completely different child! The cat has suddenly found the Layne moves and grabs so he has stopped coming back. Its funny though if I am doing washing or something and layne is starting to cry the cat always comes and finds me.

Must go, have been slack with feeding myself so should go find something for lunch and start dinner.

Hope you all have a lovely evening.

Thanks for wizard ointment rec, might give it a whirl

Waves - Hi Andrea!
I love commando crawlers, we had one twin that did that while the other crawled properly, and one day it just clicked for him.
Hi Tanya, I reckon let him go at the food, the mess shouldn't be too bad, Koby doesn't ever make too much of a mess.
Abbey, that is great Ollie is getting his top teeth, no sign of those ones here yet
Bubalys, Hi, good luck with finding childcare :)
Our boy stays home with Dad, and will go to daycare a bit later on.

So, Koby is standing up all the time, when he is crying in his cot, he is standing up, and getting into everything. He loves going for our food especially. Not sure when his next plunket visit is

Gosh it's hot at night lately! We have just gotten two kittens, so our house is a mad house!!

Talk soon, need to head to bed, work tomorrow

** Lurker in **

Hey ladies, I'm an Aucklander from the November thread. We are looking for part time care for our little girl starting in March (flexible) and was wondering if anyone else is looking for something similar. We are very flexible so if there is someone who:

Is also looking for childcare and would consider a nanny share
Currently has a nanny and wouldnt mind us joining
Is keen to do a homebased child care type thing (like Porse) and have our daughter join you at your place.

PM me if you are interested or email me alyssa012@vodafone.co.nz

** Lurker out **

Tink - i've go this ointment called 'wizard ointment' that i've used for all different things from nappy rash to helping heal down there after bubs (kia ora to stitches!) http://www.livingessence.co.nz/index.php?page=search
Its a homeopathic mixture. My boss recently used it for herself and daughter on a rash type thing they both get after eating to much summer fruit and it worked wonders! being an ointment it has barrier action as well. A little goes a long way!

Bubs is growing one of his top teeth at the mo (two bottom have come thru over christmas) and is a bit grumpy/temp/pukey with it. stink!
No crawling her yet. Lots of rocking, especially in his cot because the backboard is good leverage!

Ollie is about 10kg at 6 and a half months! But then he did start off at 9lb 4oz. When i took him to plunket for the 5 month check he was just under 10 and she said if he was any lighter he would be underweight! he's 62cm long! Its all relative!

keep well ladies!]]> Tue, 18 Jan 2011 20:57:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29009&PID=1244251&title=june-2010-babies#1244251 <![CDATA[June 2010 babies! : Hi Ladies Gosh it has been ages...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29009&PID=1242944&title=june-2010-babies#1242944 Author: TC747

Hi Ladies

Gosh it has been ages since I have been on.

Congrats Biddy on the new pregnancy, hope everything goes smoothly.

We are struggling with solids, Isaac is really not interested, so different to Noah, who couldn't get enough. I think I will have a go at baby led weaning, bit nervous about the mess, though!

Still it is not effecting his weight, seems he is approx. 10kg, which is probably why he isn't crawling as yet, just rolling & doing 360's, so getting around under his own steam. Sleep is not too bad, naps can be a bit hit and miss some days, but nights are generally good (touch wood).

We have been really busy around the house, doing some gardening, tiling, waterblasting, getting the pool spruced up, has been great to have a project.

Hope everyone has a great week.]]> Mon, 17 Jan 2011 21:21:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29009&PID=1242944&title=june-2010-babies#1242944 <![CDATA[June 2010 babies! : Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!!

Congratulations Biddy - that's very exciting news. I hope the nausea stays away. I don't think mine kicked in until 6 weeks but every pregnancy is different so hope you are feeling good.

Bex - Koby is a legend! He must be very motivated to catch up to his brothers.

Mummydee - great to have you back

Well, Alex is doing great. He's starting to get a bit tight in his 6-12 mo clothes so I guess he's getting enough to eat but he's not brilliant with solids. I started him a bit earlier than DD but he's taking a lot longer to get up to speed. Some meals he is barely interested but he's a happy chap so not going to worry. He just started to commando crawl.. I think that's what you call it. He looks like a caterpillar creeping along the floor but he's getting so quick. So off to Mitre 10 to get a gate for the ranch slider cos he kept escaping to the garden

Not sitting very well, he keeps getting back on his tum to take off.

Night times are better most of the time but we still get some disrupted nights. Thankfully he's still good during the day.. touch wood!

Well must go. It is HOT tonight!]]> Sat, 15 Jan 2011 21:28:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29009&PID=1241227&title=june-2010-babies#1241227 <![CDATA[June 2010 babies! : Happy New Year everyone!

Happy New Year everyone! Just a Quick note cos Sam is demanding his dinner, and then we have the whole bath/story/bed thing.....

Super-congrats Biddy on your surprise bubba! I caught up with some preggers friends over the hols and I was kinda jealous lol! Second Tri is sooooo nice, I miss it! We're gonna wait a while before we start trying, aiming to start about August to have another May/June bubba in 2012. That's if we have recovered enough from Sam's shenanagins!

Sam is crawling too, super-fast! He rocked for ages, then one day it just clicked about moving his arms and he was off! It's so funny, he loves loves loves being able to move, he just potters around the house getting into stuff all day! He has only been crawling about 2 weeks and he is pulling himself up too, shocker! We are fast becoming pros at moving things out of his reach!

DzinerGirl - I hear you re: Noah's sleep! Like Gia, Sam went through a terrible sleeping stage and we did VR from the sleep store, which worked awesome! He now sleeps fab in the day (1.5 hours at 9am, and 1.5 to 2 hours at 1:30pm). Nights are hit and miss. Before Xmas he slept through every night for 2 weeks straight! But in the holidays he was a complete mare, waking every few hours, or waking at 2am and not going back to sleep until 4am even with rocking / patting / in bed with us / booby / EVERYTHING WE COULD THINK OF! Now we are home, we are doing VR again to get back on track. He's got a terrible habit of going off to sleep at 7pm like an angel, then waking after 45 mins - 1 hour and screaming for an hour or so Hopefully we are back on track soon cos I just feel so stuck! He is getting his 2nd tooth atm, so is clingy/unsettled and has nasty poos too!

Teething - Sam has a terrible dribble rash and nothing has helped. It gets worse when a tooth is coming, and takes over half his face! I've tried Pawpaw, sudocream, bepanthen, aveeno, purelan, etc etc. Any suggestions? I'm thinking of going to the Dr and getting something with hydrocortisone, much as I dislike the idea!

Food - Sam is packing away 3 meals and 1 snack a day. He eats fruit and baby muesli or weetbix for bkfst, and whatever I've made him for lunch and dinner (usually mashed meat and vege dinners) followed by fruit and yog for dessert. Snacks are finger foods. He is also still breastfeeding 5 ish times a day, tho I'm working on spacing it out to bring him down to 4 per day, plus dream feed. He's still tiny tho, only just over 7kg at 8 months old, so whoever it was that was worrying about weight, don't!! I;m tiny so I figure he's not gonna be a big boy, but his growth is steady and he's bright and happy so no worries here!

Eek, must run! Tink

*lurker*

Well I kind of feel like one cos I don't come in here very much, lol.

OMG Liz!!! Congratulations hun, so exciting!! Caleb loves drinking water (usually prefers it out of my glass), and tends to get it mostly all over him, so I'm not sure how much is actually going in

Caleb is crawling and pushing himself up to sit, he looks so chuffed with himself

Cheryl - Caleb is 7.8kg at 7 mths. I agree with Bex as long as he is growing (sometimes they grow in height rather than weight) and happy and healthy he should be fine. Though it is so hard not to worry! Ollie sat pretty much on or above the 50th percentile all the time so I never worried about him. However Lilia went off the charts so I worried about her all the time (still do - especially when at 2.5yo she was being mistaken for 4 & 5 yos!!). Caleb's growth slowed right down at 1 point and we were on monthly visits so I was worrying about him too! He is now following a different line on the graph (he's halfway between the 15th & 50th percentiles). I tell ya, as a Mum, you'll always have something to worry about

Eek Bex, Koby's trying to stand!!

Wow Biddy - Congratulations!!!

A new baby is very exciting, like someone said enjoy not feeling pregnant while you can. I was sweet until about 7 weeks then was miserable until 14 with my little girl.

Can't believe we have crawlers already. Our little one is rolling all over the place atm. She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth, but tends to roll places more as its easier.

She has 2 teeth now - that was a bit of a nightmare time - so, so, so clingy. Was a bummer cos we had everyone around for xmas and she wouldn't go to any of them.

Dzinergirl - Jasmine weighs 7.95 kg and is 6 months and a half months, but she is a little budda baby.

My midwife told me that the graphs in the well child books are based on formula fed babies, and not to take too much notice of them. It's nice to have some sort of range of where they might be though. Could you ask your plunket nurse? Also, I know what you mean about enough milk/solids/water. We try not to worry about it unless she is unsettled, or behaving out of character.

Jasmine has discovered the cat and is absolutely fascinated by him, she pulls out handfuls of fur and the silly cat keeps coming back for more. She has also discovered squealing, and is driving us around the bend with that!

She is still an absolute delight though, and I seriously can't remember life without her!

Hope you are all well and enjoying these summer days

that is great about the early scan Liz!!
Yes sounds like what Koby was doing. He is still a hard out tummy sleeper, he sleeps best like that. Funny about Layne pulling his safe t sleep apart!

Cheryl, what does he weight look like on the plunket book chart? if he is growing, then I wouldn't worry. He may just be a smaller child. Koby is just a chubber!

He is starting to try pull himself up already.

and is getting mad now cause he wants to play with the twins!!]]> Tue, 11 Jan 2011 23:30:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29009&PID=1237738&title=june-2010-babies#1237738 <![CDATA[June 2010 babies! : Ohh congrats Liz!

Ohh congrats Liz! Hope you don't get such bad nausea this time round

Noah is pretty good with his water, drinks out of pump bottle, sipper cup, bottle anything really...his current fave is a cup I got from the TT Tea Talks last year with a straw thing in it.

Is Koby the only crawler or do we have other crawlers out there?

Noah is soo close! But he either puts his arms too far forward or his legs go out from under him. Do they usually start from a sitting position or from their tummies? He moves forward from sitting but his legs get stuck from underneath him so I've been trying to put him on his tummy more and get him to push up on his arms..either way he's not quite there yet..

Another question: What do your bubba's weigh? I weighed Noah and I'm slightly worried as it seems to be such a low weight

actually I'm worrying about a lot of things..(the usual) is he getting enough milk? is he eating enough solids? Should I be giving him more to drink?

Hehe Thanks! Quite excited!
Daena I am due the 15th September so Layne will be 15 months old :)
I want to have the same midwife I had with Layne but she is away on holiday until the start of feb so I will just wait. Hows your beautiful little girl doing? Oh and where did you get your toy chest from? Ben keeps telling me he will build one but I am yet to see any progress.
Bex- Maybe that could be the reason I don't feel pregnant, I remember I felt so horrible with the nausea when pregnant with Layne that I told Ben I was never having another baby! lol
saw my normal and NICE doctor today and all confirmed, bloods taken and even an early scan booked! I didn't get one of them with Layne.

Crawling- Layne now flips himself over when he tries to move, and he sounds like what Koby used to do, gets so upset after rocking and moving legs but can't get to what he wants! Bet Koby is all over the place?!
He will still only roll onto his tummy can't get off and is too stubborn to learn I think!
Had to put the safe-t-sleep back onto his bed as he was rolling onto his tummy during his sleep and getting so upset once he woke up. Once hes awake though he can pull the safe-t-sleep apart to get out of!

Layne is a little chatter box, always has been and today he was sitting on me and saying ta ta ta ta ta...I think it was a T and D but am not sure, was so cute though :)

Does anyone have trouble feeding them water? Layne will only drink water out of a pump bottle! Doesn''t matter if its the same water in his sipper cup or his drink bottle! So he either gets drenched or we just give him ice in a mesh feeder. Hes fussy with his formula and because of the heat I get so paraniod about his fluid intake,

How was your first day back at work Bex? (saw it on fb

)
and yours Abbey?

That doctor sounds like a d!ck!! Hope he's not your usual doc!
Sounds like Koby - re crawling, he was doing the rocking thing until he worked it out. So funny to watch. He used to get mad and cry.

Abbey, how was your first day back?
Daena we are thinking of going swimming maybe next Thursday? or the following. does that work for you?

Hi Ladies!

its the countdown to going back to work in our house. boohoo. Well, my 'job' isn't really a job as in sitting in an office......i went back to my nanny job which is great but it is out of the house three days a week and two other children! I've certainly loved not having to be anywhere or having to o anything!! oh well, the bank balance appreciates it!!

Ollie is doing the rocking thing too. and chopping his way thru food! but bugger - feed him a couple cans because it was easier at the time and now he turns his nose up at my food. grrr! so doing a half and half mix at them moment and he seems to do okay.

So bloomin hot!! deff been spending time in the pool over the last couple of days to keep cool.

Congrates Biddy! i'd say you probably are pregnant! you are more likely to get a false negative than a false positive. Make the most of 'not' feeling pregnant just incase!! te he.

And happy new year everyone! we were tucked up in bed by about 10.30pm! i've never really been a new years party person so meh. But i forget (just like i do every year) how noisy midnight is with all the fireworks that go off!!! And two of my sister in laws were partying hard in New York so i'm sure they would have made up for us old farts!!

oh well...mother in law is here so better go and be nice.........snore.]]> Sat, 08 Jan 2011 18:49:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29009&PID=1234952&title=june-2010-babies#1234952 <![CDATA[June 2010 babies! : Afternoon mummies!

Afternoon mummies!

Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

I have some news that I want to get off my chest, but don't feel ready to join another thread just yet.
It looks as though Ben and I are expecting again! I did a HPT on Thursday morning and it was positive, was kind of a shock even though we were planning we only tried twice last month lol so I expected a negative but thought I would test anyway instead of waiting round for AF.
We then went to the doctor, who was an absolute ass! and he brushed me off and told me to re-test in a week and then he would just have to assume I was pregnant! That was after he asked me why I had done a test in the first place, as though I don't have a right to do it. .

So when I got home I did another one that too was positive and did another one this morning and again positive. I am happy and excited but incredibly paranoid as I have NO pregnancy symptoms at all this time round and just feel I need it confirmed by a doctor.

Sorry about the vent, I can't talk to anyone else as we will wait until 12 weeks to tell family and friends again.

I am feeling better since last time I was on here, Thank you :). With xmas and new years DH has been home alot more and we are taking a week off in Feb, but not sure where we are going....just far away from the farm!

Hugs to you Cheryl and Bex on the night waking!
Glad Gia is now sleeping for you Daena!

I can't believe how fast the last 7 months have gone. And go Koby on crawling! Layne isn't far off but just wont move his arms, will rock and hop around and move his legs. I want him to crawl but I don't at the same time lol.

Ohhh camping sounds like fun! Definitely something i would love to do with our family.

Bex, Layne is the same with his food, his dinner consists of his formula followed by a can of food and a jar of custard and he gets upset at breakfast when hes finished his muesli. I am always paraniod that I will feed his too much but hes happy and he wants it. DH now puts a little on his high chair tray and he plays with it while DH feeds him, that way he doesn't hold onto the bowel with both hands.

Must go.

Hope you are all enjoying the weather!

Sounds relaxing getting away Daena!

I would love to go on holiday, can't see it happening anytime soon though!

Koby is loving solids, he just had a meltdown at me cause he ate all the can, seemed to love a new flavour. Also using his fresh food feeder, bananas are a huge hit.

We've been taking Koby swimming a bit in the school pool, he really loves it, and this year the twins are loving it too. Makes up for last summer when they sooked everytime we went in the water

We went camping as well sort of we where in a caravan it is so much fun watching Gia play with sand and water she is such a water baby.

Gia was a shocker from about 4 1/2 mths waking every 1-2 hours she would feed for about 10mins then fall back to sleep on me I tried the no cry which just made her scream as you are suppose to stand there shh shh and patt but not pick her up was at my witts end before xmas so contacted the sleep store and changed to the VR thing and it worked a lot less crying then using the no cry solution and she is sleeping through the night most nights still a shocking daytime sleep and catnaps but I am so glad to get some more sleep.

Gia got far to many presents as well had to buy a toy chest to keep them in but it is fun playing with them all.

Hear you on the night waking, Koby has started waking too, it means I wake up and feed him and fall asleep on my side, and have had mega arm/shoulder pain all week

Go you camping, I would love to do stuff like that, but just not possible with our boys at the ages they are at, too hard to look after - they would want to run off on their own.

Parent's love to spoil their first grand child!!

Hello all,

I haven't been on here for aaaages - sorry! I have been on FB seeing everyones pics and updates though. I hope everyone and their bubs are doing well

I can't believe we're at the 7 month mark and fast approaching 8 months! Far out

Noah is almost at the crawling stage but not yet thank goodness, hopefully not till after the tree goes down this weekend (yeah slack aren't we

) He is rocking on his hands and knees and can move his arms forward a bit but then his legs shoot out from under him LOL

Sleepwise - things suck!!! He is a terror to get to sleep during the day (for me anyway, goes down fine for his grandmas

) AND at night. He's waking up 2-3 times a night now 11/12, 2/3 and 4/5. At least 1 of those times he is genuinely hungry though so that's fine but I don't know what is causing the other times although he is still in the gentle motions bassinet

as we haven't been able to afford a mattress for his cot, we still can't but we are going to put it onto the already horrible CC bill

) BUT I think it the movement of the bassinet might be giving him a fright now seeing as he moves so much in his sleep. I guess we'll see in the weekend.

We went camping and it was awesome to see Noah experience the beach and ocean etc but the whole sleep thing stressed me out and I came to hate nighttime..still do! Anyone else attempt camping?

Did anyone elses families go nuts with presents for the bubs? DH's parents went crazy and we now have toys coming out our ears! I'll upload a pic of the Xmas tree - seriously the presents (not just from them and not all of them were for Noah but pretty close!) took up 1/2 the floor space

Question - how much food is everyone's little ones eating now?

It is sooo muggy today!

that sounds like something Koby needs Aydee

Happy New Year Mummies! How was your tiny one's first christmas? Koby got a few things, not too much though. I think the twins got more than anybody!

We stuck round home for New Years too, DP was asleep by 11pm which is rare for him!

Well, Koby is now crawling all over the place, he has a love of going for cords though

so we will need to baby proof again (feels like we have just rolled on from the twins to Koby) He has also worked out how to sit up by himself, so another plus! He loves to sit and play with the drums that were the boys.

Hey Bex - a magic ball is one of those 'educational toys' made of round bits of wood and held together by elastic for them to pull and chew and stretch, it's really cool. From BabyFactory.

Wow - Koby crawling nearly.. I am horrifed that Ashley is not far away too.. it's scary!!!!

Biddy - sorry to hear you've been feeling low and hoping that you are feeling a bit better with Christmas and festivities etc. I can empathise with the breastfeeding, I felt like a complete failure and then got super depressed when I had to give up when Ashley was about 2 months, thankfully it passed after a few weeks but it was the hardest time of my life and I still get sad about it. I hope you are feeling a little better and if not then I'm sure that you will soon. It certainly helps to get out as much as you can and I found talking to people who have had similar experiences helps too.

Hope everyone had a great Xmas and little ones got spoilt

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas day!!

Bext - that's awesome about Koby being an Ecostore baby. Their products are lovely! I can't wait to see him on them.
Good to hear the scooter has been a hit.

Well Christmas Eve already - my favourite day of the year and Jessie is on cloud 9.

Have a great day tomorrow everbody. Baby's first Christmas is such a special day!]]> Fri, 24 Dec 2010 08:49:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29009&PID=1226902&title=june-2010-babies#1226902 <![CDATA[June 2010 babies! : Hi Mummies!

Hi Mummies!

Liz, hugs to you, that must be really hard. I wish we lived closer, Koby and I would visit you!!
Like Daena says, do you have plunket coffee groups or Mainly Music? It is very hard being isolated and being a first time mummy. Great sleeping Layne! And the wooden blocks idea sounds great.

Hi Andrea!
Scooters are AWESOME! Joel loves his, he has worn it out and needs a new one now. It lasted about 3 years though so can't complain. It is very hot lately at night, too muggy. The kids don't want to sleep at night... argh!

Hi Aydee!
What is a magic ball? Good to hear how well Ashley is doing!

Daena, omg, all of your hair gone? That sounds wonderful although won't that be different for you?
Go the crawler, Koby is at that stage too :)

Well, we have just moved house. We finally have 4 bedrooms, our room finally is OUR room, and Koby has slept every night all the way through now he by himself.
The boys have a nice big back yard for playing, and we will have my family over for Christmas Eve bbq which will be nice!

Koby was chosen to be one of 3 babies photographed for the Eco Store Baby Range, so we can't wait to see his pics on the products when they are released, I think it would be early next year. He had so much fun at his photo shoot! I was so proud.

Joel has a new baby sister, so he is looking forward to meeting her boxing day. and Luke and Zavier have learnt to talk in HUGE sentences and are little know it alls lately. So it's all fun and games in our house.

Hope you are all well. I'm so excited about this being Koby's first Christmas!

Hi all,

Gia is doing great during the day we flip flop all over the lounge and have just started getting on her knees so hopefully crawling will happen soon she is really good at sitting and sits and plays with her toys for ages.

Nights on the other hand are not so good she can not self settle with out me at all so i am getting up every 2 hours so we are going to try sleep training from boxing day using VR method as I need more sleep feel like running on empty at the moment.

I am also going to go get my hair chopped off this avo I have long hair and am sick of having a ponytail all the time,

Biddy hope you feel better have you tried joining a coffee group thru plunket to met other people or take Layne to activities where you can met other mums like swimming or mainly music.

Hope everyone has a great xmas
