Rugster Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 6 hours ago, Bairnardo said: Scenes in my house today. Baby led weaning has commenced and BB2 has been decanted into her own bedroom all in one day!! As far as the BLW goes, she tanned a rusk in the morning, then at lunch and dinner was given carrots. She did gag on them and vomited a wee bit at one point but she was interested in eating them, so for a first nerve racking attempt, Mrs B was pretty pleased. Thanks everyone for your advice on the matter. I imagine we are going to stick with it now. Eta all of this has begun in my absence as I am at work! Well done Mrs B! Good stuff mate. I'd recommend this book. HSF got it and we used it quite a bit in the early days of weaning. They're all baby friendly (low salt, no honey etc etc) and are designed to let you cook something you and the missus (and BB1) can all eat at the same time as you wean the youngest. The shepherd's pie in particular is very tasty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Have to say I'm absolutely loving and pulling my hair out at this stage. She's 15 months now and I'm loving her inquisitive and problem solving side. Seeing her learn there in front of me gives me such a buzz. She's doing well with her words and sounds I think as well. Her favourite word just now is Car and she just started to say Santa, which is the first 2 syllable word. The way she says it cracks me up as well. It's the emphasis on 'ta': San-TA! Just got her to make a pigeon sound as well. So that's Crocodile, Pigeon, Monkey, Snake and Duck noises she makes [emoji38] On the flip side, her inquisitive side can drive me nuts when she's constantly at my router socket! She's booked in for her first haircut. Her hair is like a mop. Loving the curls at the back (no idea who she's inherited them from!) but the front keeps getting in her eyes and she just tries to eat any kind of clasp we put in her hair. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heedthebaa Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Sitting here chilled oot for the first time in over a week due to the fact we’ve got our wee 28 year old boy out of the ERI after he was admitted on New Year’s Morning. Flu virus, icu, pissing blood, kidney failure, biopsy etc.some start to the year. You kinda take for granted your kids will be fine in adulthood, giving all your worries and concerns to your grandkids, it’s really shook me and the wife up seeing him in such a state 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 On 26/11/2017 at 02:27, supermik said: My stepson has always thought that I was his real dad. I did ask my wife a few times to tell him the truth but she always said no. His real dad broke her nose when she caught him cheating whilst she was pregnant. He has 4 other kids and he was in the local paper once saying how much that he always wanted 4 kids but he conveniently forgot about his 5th and oldest, (my stepson). My wife used to take the lad to see his grandmother every couple of weeks to keep in touch but his real dad just ignored him. Last year, for some reason, the "father" told his other kids about the existence of my wife's boy. Cue a Facebook appeal to find him from them and lo and behold a halfwit relative declared that they knew who they were looking for. Of course it showed up on his own timeline so the cat was well and truly out the bag. When I next saw my stepson, he hugged me and said that as far as he was concerned, I was his dad as I was the one who raised him and I was the person who gave him his guidance and values in life. The other "family" were very aggressive in their attitude towards my wife when she told them to back off. Their initial reply was that if they could not meet their brother then they would call Jeremy Kyle. There are a great deal of things about that "family" that would make your toes curl if I was to tell about them but I won't. My stepson had his real dads name as his middle name. Last week, under his own idea, he had his birth certificate altered to make his middle name the same as my own wonderful stepfather who we both absolutely adored. I love the boy to bits. Just catching up with this, and it brought back some memories for me. My step daughter is 21 now, and I have raised her since the age of 5. She's always known I wasn't her biological dad, so this issue was dodged somewhat. A few years ago though the dad's sister was on facebook (which is, in my view, the very worst thing to happen to the 21st century) and found my wife. Cue a long rant about how my wife ruined her brother's life, how he was a good boy and is now a good man, husband and father, and all no thanks to my wife, etc. etc. Some years old bad blood came bubbling up. My step daughter got on to the conversation (not sure how all this is done on facebook). Anyway, she said she was now 17 or 18, whatever the age was, and her biological dad had shown no interest in her whatsoever. never tried to make contact, never sent a card, nothing at all. In fact, he had been on facebook celebrating his "eldest" kid's birthday, ignoring the fact that he had fathered my step daughter. However, if that side of the family wanted to know her, she'd happily meet any of them for a coffee - including her biological father. Radio silence ensued. After a few more attempts to get in touch with her biological father, my step daughter ended up just shrugging her shoulders at the whole lot of them. They're not interested in her, never will be. She has her own family now - a 1 year old son - and is perfectly happy with the family she has. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference in sickness might be because you are having a different sex of child than your last one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general it probably is nonsense but as I've said previously. My sister in law with the 3 boys had bad morning sickness whereas my wife and her arsehole sister had no sickness and they had girls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weirdcal Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Staunche if a boy, Loyalla if a girl? William or williamina are top of list The difference in sickness might be because you are having a different sex of child than your last one. We are working on this theory too. For me it's a hunch as it's been different this time. In general it probably is nonsense but as I've said previously. My sister in law with the 3 boys had bad morning sickness whereas my wife and her arsehole sister had no sickness and they had girls. Her sisters who had girls were all quite ill whereas the ones with boys weren't. The one with both was worse with the girl. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You put your palm out flat and someone else holds a threaded needle above the palm and waits for it to move. I can't recall which direction is which but mine and my wife's (at the time girlfriend) moved around two seperate times in the direction of girls. We're half way to it being true so worth a go [emoji38] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
