And my sister is nowhere to be found. My nephew's wife is having their 2nd baby tonight and we can't find my sister anywhere. Her cell phone goes straight to voice-mail and she's not home. She missed the birth of her first...

Gemmygirl1 DER i just realised it was her kids having the baby - sorry about that! Guess the baby brain has settled in here (we're 37 weeks). I hope you guys can find her & she gets there in time - sorry about that, i wish my brain had clicked over a bit better before...

I got tired of my 16 month old daughter climbing out of her crib every time I put her in it, so I set up her toddler bed in the room the other night. She LOVES it! I was afraid that she would not want to be in it, but so far so...

Gemmygirl1 Just remember, the longer you leave it, the longer it will take for him to be comfortable with sleeping on his own. Also, the longer you have him in with you, the longer it'll be before you can have alone time with your partner. I guess that's why they...

I'm almost six months pregnant and have just begun decorating baby's room. It's so exciting to see her room with her crib and change table in it. The only problem now is that I can't decide what type of decor should go on the...

Gemmygirl1 There are other removable stickers that you can use - without the aid of Disney or anything like that. You could do something like a Jungle theme - not too over the top of course & would go well with the yellow but you can use stencils or removeable...

Gemmygirl1 I have to disagree here - babies will suck on a dummy/pacifier for comfort & even relief when they're teething. My daughter had a hard time with teething & the pacifier helped her a lot - as she was able to gnaw at it, which relieved her gums a lot & allowed...

I really don't know how to calculate pregnancy due dates. I really don't understand why it is based on the first day of the last menstruation, the cycle lenght and the lutheal pahse. I've read about it but it seems not getting...

Gemmygirl1 Mine was similar, although with my current pregnancy, the Dr insisted i was due on August 8th - however, i was about to have my 18 week defect scan & with a date like August 8th - i'd have only been 14 weeks along! Turns out my calculations were right & i was...

Did you ever taste the baby food and think that it tasted gross? When my daughter was just learning to eat food, I had to feed her the commercial baby food. I hated that stuff and so did she. I wanted to make homemade baby...

Gemmygirl1 I just wanted to add to this :) Veggies & fish are fine but at 2 - they REALLY need to be eating more than just that & should have been for quite some time now - at 2 years of age they should be eating EVERYTHING - DEFINITELY red meats because of the iron &...

Gemmygirl1 Well, i can only do so much - i have tried the talking to her & as i mentioned in my original post - she listens to me but doesn't hear what i say. My inlaws only live about 5 minutes from here & they have opted not to call in all the time because they didn't...

Gemmygirl1 I don't know where you got your information but i have heard the exact opposite - apparently, little boys are a lot easier to handle than little girls. They're also supposed to be less fussy & when they get to teenage years, girl's are supposed to cause the...

Gemmygirl1 It's all good to say that you think i should grow up - but unless you have a mother that constantly calls, always wants to visit & always insists on doing everything with you - instead of allowing you to have 'family' time with your partner & child - then you...

Hey all, My daughter is one i would consider pretty switched on, she was 2 on Friday (June 6th) & is pretty cluey about a lot of things. I can only compare her to friends & family around the same age but she seems to be a fair...

Gemmygirl1 Thank you heaps for your thoughts! I have opted not to do sleepovers, well not that i wont do them but i'd like for my daughter to want to be there, not just be left there - she is only 2 but it will be just fine when she's able to let me know she wants to...

Gemmygirl1 I think i'd go nuts with twice a week :) i could never afford to do that! I figured once a month would be ok, plus there's holidays, birthdays & other times when i just feel like driving down there but i guess we'll see what happens. It's nice to hear from...

Gemmygirl1 I don't think we'd have problems coz Mum seems to 'NOT HEAR' things i tell her if she doesn't like them. I love that they spend time together but there is another set of Grandparents as well (who dont see her as much) & yeah being pregnant is very tiring,...

Gemmygirl1 I don't mind visiting at all - i just think less routine would be better. I've just thought about how by the age of 4 or 5, my daughter would expect to be seeing Nanna every other Wednesday & she'd want to be there but cant coz of Kindy or school or...

Gemmygirl1 I do appreciate that she wants to be involved with my daughter :) I think it's a great thing, i just more need it to be less on her terms & more when i can manage it. I hate having to put things off - in order to have the money to drive all that way. I let...

Gemmygirl1 Your thoughts are GREAT! I was beginning to wonder whether i was only going to upset people her as so far everyone has taken me to be cold. My Mum's mum passed away when she was 17 so i never knew her & she wasn't around at all when us kids came along. I...

Gemmygirl1 It's not that i don't want them to have a relationship at all - i do appreciate her & want them to spend time together - although it just seems that everything has to be on her terms. It's hard to explain but as much as i love my Mum, i'd like the opportunity...
