Harry Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 My 2 year old had her first ever gastro yesterday so from 6pm to 3am vomited around 30 or 40 times. Rough experience. Forgot how much more difficult it is when the child doesn't understand what's happening, and gets scared of the bucket. She needed 5 outfit changes, and I needed 3.

My first daughter got gastro that bad it was firing out of both ends. My wife removed her nappy and it's shot like a cannon over her shoulder, it might sound funny but she ended up that dehydrated she was in hospital for two days it was awful.

Rab Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Thanks homies. We're not gonna find out if it's a boy or girl from the scans just going to leave it as a surprise. I've been kicked out of my office already too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We chose to find out the gender with the second kid in order to better prepare the first for what was coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not going to find out* Rip my typing. I think with it being the first it'd be good to experience the unknown.

Baby room needs to be neutral colours etc Agree. It adds extra excitement and either way it's a great outcome for you guys. My sister has 2 boys and chose to go back for a third hoping for a girl. I suggested she find out gender in advance, as her emotional stake is significant. In a post childbirth exhaustion she might be less prepared to deal with disappointment. She's sticking with being surprised though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toinho Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 I’m on toilet now by the way and it’s near 8am, first bit of “me” time since about 3pm. My posts earlier were with a tired baby or in between nappy changes haha. Back to work tomorrow though - so need to come up with a plan with the missus about how we can best approach the double fun.

Yeah the toilet becomes a meditative space for most parents to get a mental break. Tho I do get the walk ins now from the kids around half the time. Will be tough on your Mrs this return to work period. Once mothers group starts it will probably help but the period before that can be quite isolating. Fingers crossed for her getting a really awesome group that gel and form lifelong connections. Benefits kids too as well as mums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember this little thought when they are growing up and learning to understand and talk...DO NOT SWARE in front of them... When our son's Alexander was around 3 years old and sitting in the back of his car in his kid's car seat, our son braked hard as someone cut him up and he yelled out "YOU FUCKING STUPID BASTARD!!!!", a few seconds later a voice in the back seat yelled out the same He had to pull over and tell Alexander "You must not say bad words like daddy did then..."

Just hang in tight buddy, as the years roll on you will see the wee bundles of joy, crawl, stand up, walk, and say dada, mumma, have egg tossed in your face when they are sitting in a high chair eating, crying as their first teeth are showing (teathing), potty training with no more fried sausages in nappies then later on in years... I could go on forever and now me and the wife have 2 grown-up's son & daughter with 3 grandsons to boot, enjoy life and have a pint on me.

Haha I have dropped a day a week from work this term and it’s the best thing I’ve done so far. I get to see so much more by just having that bit of extra time off. Contemplating taking more time off or even changing roles/jobs as my priorities have massively changed. One day let’s have a pint together for real John 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience the fog started to ease around 12 weeks and get really better around 6 months. I'm sure your kids are blowing your away even now but it will ramp up fast mate.
