Hi there ladies,

Seems like a lot of us are popping back in after a long absence! Thanks for some of the lovely messages I got on FB re my pg, sorry I hadn't been in to inform everyone! This one has gone so quick and I am so busy that I think I forgot to make an announcement biggrin.gif So anyway, nearly biggrin.gif 28 weeks in so less than 3 months to go ohmy.gif and then we get our little boy (found out the sex this time biggrin.gif ).

I am still studying so am very busy, hence why I am pretty much never on here or posting on FB, all my spare time is taken up with studying. We have had the coldest winter on record EVER here and there has been so much bloody snow, it is such a pain. I have to dig myself a carpark nearly daily at 6 months pg..... Not to mention the hassle of pushing a pram or walking with a toddler in a pack through the snow! Luckily I guess I still have a tiny toddler, Mia is still only 8.5kgs...
She is starting to use more words, beginings of words really although she got 'water' yesterday which she has now been using non stop rolleyes.gif She understands and can follow orders in both norwegian and english so I am not too worried she doesn't say too many words yet. One annoying thing she has been doing for a while is pinching me in the face when she is not impressed with me, doesn't do it to anyone else thank goodness, but I want to stop it now before she starts on the other kids! I always tell her 'No, that hurts mummy, it is not a nice thing to do etc' but she thinks it is a joke or just ignores me. So I have been thinking I should try time outs but she is normally doing it when we are out, say walking down the road and I pick her up because a car is coming or something, or on the way to bed. So I can't exactly do a time out in the middle of the road and don't want to start all that just before bed (and peace for me!). So any suggestions what I should do?

She will go into a 'big bed' in a couple of weeks, but I am not sure whether we should take her out of her grobag or just leave her in... and she sleeps on her tummy with her bum in the air so I am a bit worried about even a thin pillow, should I give her one or not? Any suggestions from those who have already made the move?

Anyway, I hope you are all well, looks like there are quite a few who are doing the baby thing again! I will try to get in more often, but as I said, things are very busy with study, work, Mia and soon to be #2! I am not in the FB thread anymore so if anyone sees this who is on there, please say thanks to the ladies on there for their messages, sorry I haven't been in!

Ok, gotta get some sleep x shell

PS - Bron, just saw your feature member story, it is beautiful and very inspiring! x

Hmmmm, might come back in here more than once a year
roll2.gif my thoughts exactly lol

Just popping in to say hello waves.gif Congrats to those who've had another bub and to those who are PG again.

I can't believe our July babies are turning 2 soon cry1.gif where is the time going!

Oh and also putting my hand up to not a lot of talking going on with Liandra #4), she says quite a few words but not as much as she is "supposed" to. My 3rd child was like that and then she turned 2.5 and BAM, all the words just came after that, now I can't shut her up tongue.gif

Anyway, hope everyone is doing well, I had to go back quite a few pages on the main page to find our group. blush.gif
