  • Aww bless him like you say it all must of been to much for him glad to managed to calm him down 

    Oh rebecca still not out yet you sound just like me when I was trying it just seems to take ages each month feels like forever after the lose we said we would have another but my partner was like just let it happen which I agreed too wasnt long before I was  buying loads of them cheap pregnancy tests ovulation tests tracking it all like I said I wouldn't do 😂 
    You could of maybe ovulated abit later in your cycle have you used the frer tests this time I used clear blue the 6 days earlier one the cheapy ones and a frer and the frer had the best line out of them all the others was like is it a line or not while stood in the window to get some natural light on it ha

    And this time I remember feeling like my period was coming too didnt really believe the faint line till it got darker for that reason fingers crossed for you  xx
  • I know the wait to test is soooo long.. Haha iv baught loads of cheap tests and done plenty of standing in the window squinting lol... Its Saturday and period still hasn't arrived... I'm usually like dead on the day with my monthly so still maybe? Or maybe my red friend will turn up tomorrow 🤔 I just want to know its killing me... All tests still negative.. Tbh I don't feel like my period is about to start for the most part but then I have little 10 min or so parts of the day when I'm like oh wait yea this feels like period is coming... I have definitely been going for a wee more I keep feeling dizzy and getting blurred vision and iv randomly taken up very healthy eating and gone off greasey food and meat... I Thaught it was too early for that sort of thing but I asked Dr Google 😂 and apparently they are very early pregnancy symptoms... Or maybe I'm looking for reasons and it's all just wishful thinking xx
  • Aww I really hope so rebecca it all sounds very positive you will have to keep us updated xx
  • How many months have you been trying now @Rebecca1992? So hard not to become obsessed isn't it!
    Poor Odie, glad you managed to calm him down. Wonder if it was a sensory overload type thing?

    Meanwhile I'm starting to have a stroppy toddler at times! He headbutted me earlier when I removed him from doing something he shouldn't, and bit his sister yesterday for a similar reason. I know it's all normal behaviour but I don't think I was expecting it quite yet. He's mostly still lovely though. Very cheeky smile, very loving and cuddly 😍
    Finally moved him into his own room a couple of weeks ago and he's adjusted to that no problem. Had intended to do it sooner but time just kept getting away from us. I missed having him in there at first!

    Hope you're doing ok Rainbowsunshine .

    Wouldn't it be nice if some of the others checked back in!

  • @ThuperRah gracies going through the same stage its not all the time but she does try and bite and pinch and if I take her away from something she just goes all dead weight and drops to the floor screaming..them moment are hard to pick her up 😂 glad hector has settled into his own room I loved it when I first put gracie in hers I could walk in the bedroom switch the light on and get comfy in bed and breathe she was a light sleeper you will have another little one in there soon 😊 

    I'm doing fine these first 12 weeks are dragging for me feel like I've been pregnant forever already maybe because I got to nearly 12 weeks along before I found out last time what had happened then was two months before i was pregnant again so seems so long got my scan next tuesday so fingers crossed everythings fine 

    Yes it would be nice to hear from everyone else and how there toddlers are doing xx
  • Only about 3 months and I kmow that's not long it's just with odin I didn't expect to get pregnant in the first month of trying... So this time I Thaught it would be quick but nope not this time either was a bit cruel this time tbh.. I was late.. 5 days late and I'm usually so on time or a day early but never late.. So I Thaught I was but nope it tuned up.. Maybe next month ayy... I'm so glad you 2 have mentioned this!... Odie keeps randomly hitting me, like if I'm sat on the floor with him or on the settee he will just come over and slap me in the face or claw at my face or chest.. Also the biting.. I tell him no stirnltly but he thinks its funny.. Litrally laughs at me while I tell him no and then carries on trying to hit me! Hope this stage passes soon fin🤞🏻 I have noticed a few times now that he seems to not be coping in busy situations I think it is a sensory thing 🤔.... Glad all is going well for you rainbow, you will both have another little bundle soon enough! ❤️
    Odin is still in our room.. In our bed 🙄... And getting him to bed has become a nightmare on some nights, doesn't really bother me anymore tbh be a bit wierd if he wasn't there... We get him to sleep in our bed because will not go in his cot... Then when he's asleep carefully put him in his cot... But he will wake up after a few hours and scream the place down unless he gets in with us.. Won't be forever lol highly doubt he will want to sleep with us when he's 10 haha I have learnt alot tho from having him.. Next time I will probably have baby in a proper cot in our room to start with then move them in their room with the cot at 6 months.. The problems with odies sleeping started when he went from the next to me cot to the big cot at 7 months and because of the big change he didn't move into his room so yea you live and learn lol... Would be nice for the others to pop back and say hi so we can see more adorable toddler pics!
    What words can your little ones say? Im a bit worried as a little girl came in to my work and she could say loads of words lol and some words in sort of a sentance like "mine please mummy" and I asked how old she was thinking maybe 2-3 but nope she was 17 months and I was like omg odin can't say all that.. I kmow uoi shouldn't compare as the little girl had older brothers and sisters and obviously every kids different but yea odie can say hi and waves bye and waves, ta, go, up, mama, dad, baba and bubble also he makes an adorable train noise when he plays with his wooden train lol... What age do they go nursery? I'm actually nervous, how do you just leave them there and walk away lol think I will cry xx
  • Aww hopefully this month rebecca it will happen for you 

    Oh yes you definitely learn after your first my eldest was exactly the same was always in my bed with gracie I just put her straight into a cot in our room from day one and it worked fine cuz I know the transition can be hard for some babies so I thought skip having that problem and stick her straight in ha 

    Gracie says a few words not so much sentences but will try copy back what you say to her and says dog hi bye mam dad nan grandad points at my partners stuff and says dads loudly ha must be what hes being telling her that's dads she say reece and jody I think she thinks phone are called jody as she seen a picture of my daughter jody on there and always shouts jody when she sees a phone 😂 and will say wheres Jody shes says oh no and no moving her finger 😂 

    Has any one started with a potty yet we was thinking of getting on so she can just get used to it 

    Nursery is usually the term after there 3 so they could start in january after there 3rd birthday if your preferred nursery doesn't have a january intake you can place them in a private nursery till the nursery you want can take them I did that years ago with one of mine she was able to start at easter but they had no space left so put her in a private one till september think its 15 hours free and with the private one I could pick what hours I wanted her in so could do a full day as long as you just use the 15 hours it's free think you can put there name down when they are 2 
    Regarding if both parents are working I think there is a different criteria where they can go from two xx


  • Thanks rainbow :) like I really want him to get stuck in and be around other kids and at the same time Im a wreck about leaving him lol.. Its fine it's a while off yet.. I really hoping that July is going to be my month 🤞🏻 be so nice for odie to have sombody else around to play with, feel sorry for him I mean I take him the park, soft plays and a toddler group I'd like to do it more, just feel like I'm not doing good enough with him socialising, it's hard to though I can't drive and not much going on around me unfortunately :/

    Anybody else not enjoying this heat! 🔥 Took odin the park today but couldn't stay long as was soooooo hot, he's had a heat rash the Last few days and he's scratching him self raw, iv been recommended camomile lotion and aloe Vera gel so getting it tomorrow atm iv just tried some lush dream creme and seems to have done the trick for now, he's got a bit of a cold as well bless him but he's still smiling away and being his usual cheeky self xx

  • I think your doing great rebecca I know I have other kids but theres a big age gap between gracie and them so shes not really around children her age I need to look at doing something with her I think it's hard on us when they start nursery because your so used to having them with you all the time but once they are settled in will be nice to have that bit of time for yourself 

    Look how happy odin is on the pics I love his huge smile 

    I cant stay out in the heat long yesterday was boiling so we just got gracies little pool out and sat in the garden took the older ones park early in the morning alot cooler today which is nice if the heat rash is irritating hin you could give him some pirton would have to check for his age and dose but sure they can have it 

    Took gracie to the doctors regarding her feet turning in the other day they have referred her to see someone at the hospital on the 12th of july think with her sister also having a similar problem aswell luckily hers have fixed themself now xx

  • Ah @Rebecca1992 fingers crossed this is your month.
    I'm stuck in hospital as my blood pressure went up AND baby turned transverse. She's being delivered on Wednesday at 37 weeks by c-section so I'm here until at least then. Hopefully I'll get out sooner than last time!
    Missing my Smally like mad (and my Bigs too of course, but I'm with Hector the most). Apparently he's coping ok without me although hubby thinks he was missing me yesterday as he was clingy. They've been coming in to visit but obviously it's not the same. Especially as I was still feeding Hector at waking up & bedtime.

    On the subject of nursery, my older 2 both started old-school at 2 and really thrived. We paid until we got the funding at 3 but found it was worth it, for them and for me 😁 It's definitely worth having a look around a few to get a feel for the people etc as a setting that is great for one child obviously won't be right for another.

    @Rainbowsunshine glad they're getting things moving with Gracie's feet. Have you had your scan yet? Hope things are ok x

  • Oh no @ThuperRah how horrible for you I dread anything like that happening again its soooooo boring and you miss your family loads not to long till wednesday and you will get to meet your beautiful girl please do upload a pic cant wait to see 

    I've been for my scan I'll be 13 weeks tomorrow everythings looking good due 13th of january I asked about the placenta and she said it's on the front wall this time and it is low but she pretty sure it will pull up as my belly grows that is excellent news 

    We have told the children now aswell they are main all excited except the eldest hes probably more worried it will be another girl (probably will be)

    Pic of Gracie telling the children with her t shirt 

  • Oh thumper I really feel for you, don't know how long you will be in altogether but I was in 11 days start to finish and it does suck I feel for you, but you will have your baby girl soon enough and it will be all worth it, Hector and the others will be so happy to have you back when you get out :) xx

    Gracie looks abselutley adorable in that shit rainbow! And they are brilliant scan pics! So clear! Glad everything's going well, I had a frontal placenta with odie, I couldn't feel the kicks that much but that was it really xx

    My partner is convinced that the baby making isn't working is because he had a x Ray 😂 he's such a tit 😂

    Well we have been up to the hospital 4 times in a very short time period!
    1st time he fell and banged his head and it came out in a massive bump but we went to be safe... Then the very next day he fell so hard and whacked his head of the fire place and it was in the same place as the day before but was cut open and bleeding out everywhere! So back to the hospital, then we have been back as he got a rash all over his body that at first we Thaught was heat rash but it got worse and inflamed so back to the hospital and turns out its a viral rash...and then I was holding his hand and all of the sudden he tried to turn round and spun out on me while I still had hold of his hand, he started screaming so much and he wouldn't move his arm at all and was trying to hold it with his other so I was like omg is it broken! Back to hospital he had 3 x rays that were hard to watch as he was screaming the entire time and she had to keep positioning his arm, was so hard to watch :( but not broken, when I explained to the nurse what had happend she knew what he had done and turns out his elbow popped out so, few more uncomfortable seconds of her putting it back in and he went right back to normal, was happy and moving it right away :)

    So now we just bubble wrap him to avoid any more accidents 😂 only joking xx
  • 😂😂 I'm sure the xray he had will of been fine hopefully this month will be the month looking forward to hearing once you find out....exciting 

    Oh poor Odin and you Gracie also has a rash I haven't taken her as shes totally fine in herself although shes had it over a week now it's like little spots down her legs and feet 
    Oh god that sounds awful about his little arm but so pleased it wasnt broken I bet you are wanting to wrap him in cotton wool I remember when Gracie fell down the stairs I was so scared of everything after still am when it comes to the stair gates and triple checking they are shut ha 

    @ThuperRah hope everything goes well today please do update us when your feeling up to it xxx
  • Oh gosh yea I bet you were scared! I'm so scared of odin falling down the stairs I check the Stair gates loads as well! Are you going to find out if you are having a boy or girl? I'm excited for you to know! Won't be long now if you are finding out 😊 

    I'm hoping this is my month 🤞🏻

    I hope you and baby are doing well Thuper! ❤️

    So odin wouldn't sleep in his cot so we have taken the cot bars off one side to turn into a toddler bed as it came with like a bed guard when we baught it, and it's going really well! He will go in it without crying and if we are upstairs he go's and sits on his bed with a toy and jumps on the bed as well 🙄😂 he does get out at night but he just gets out and gets in with us... Its progress and I will take that!
    Got some flash cards and been learning some new words as well! So far he has said dog and fish! He is also saying ta whenever given somthing.. I would prefer thankyou but let him off for now seem as thankyou is a bit of a big ask 😂 xx
  • Yes @Rebecca1992 I'm going to find out I've booked a private one for 2 weeks tomorrow would be lovely to have a boy this time but either way as long as its healthy 

    I'm thinking of putting gracies cot into a bed but I'm so scared I'll lose the daytime nap and if she stops sleeping through but shes so close to getting out of the cot she can get her legs right up to the top I'm going to do it in the next couple of weeks and see how she goes I want to baby proof her room first 
    Well done odin in his big boy bed it's good that you've managed to get him to go in because hes usually in with you isn't he so that is a big step 

    Cant wait to hear if this is your month rebecca how far into your cycle are you xx


  • Hi ladies. All went well on Wednesday with this one's delivery. We got home yesterday evening once we got her blood sugars and my blood pressure sorted. Hector has looked at her and stroked her a few times, just the right amount of interested really. Still can't quite believe my baby boy is a big brother!
  • Oh my @ThuperRah she is beautiful huge congratulations 

    Glad your back home and hector is being a good big brother 

    I'm really worried about this with Gracie shes really bad with biting and pinching at the min and I just dont know how to stop her I sternly say no and take her away from me and she comes back and does it again or just stares at me and bites her own arm 🙄 she bit me really bad the other day on my wrist I have quite a large bruise where she just would not let go I'm not the only one she does it to everyone and I'm worried to take her to any soft play areas incase she does it to another child I'd be mortified xxx
  • 2 weeks time oooh not long! So exciting! ❤️ Yea just give it a go, you never know might all go well, you can always turn it back into a cot if it's not going great.
    Iv baught odin an adorable duvet cover for his cot still need to get him a duvet to go inside it, he still doesn't sleep with a cover because I'm a paranoid mess lol but think he should be fine now? Not sure what do you think?
    We have been having fun in the house the last few days as I'm actually too scared to go out on my own in the last week in my area people have tried to abduct children! 5 sperate times now, all the times it's been women on their own, they jump out of a car and just grab them, one of the ladies shared it on the local group page warning of what had happened, said there was 1 woman and 4 men and they litrally caught her to get her 1 year old boy... Other people in the park stepped in and helped and they ran back to the car when more people got involved and got phones to catch them in the.. I litrally can't bring my self to go out, I'm to scared :( so waiting until they catch them, my partners off work soon anyway, will be fine with him there, I'm a nervous wreck at the best of times I didn't need this, litrally happened at the park round the corner from my house that we were at 2 days before this all happened, it's not just this park put happend on the street and other parks around the area!! Xx
  • Massive congratulations Thuper ❤️ she's beautiful, what have you called her? How are you doing? Are you feeling more human, it's great you are back home with your family, Hector's a big brother! Wow we're has the time gone! X
