I want to do a bluey themed small party or if not I’ll do a vacation with out little family.

We’re doing a small party with classic “one happy dude” decorations and some fruit trays and other small snacks!

Harry potter themed!

We’re going with “the hungry one” theme after the Eric Carle book The Very Hungry Caterpillar. My little one loves fruit so this is perfect.

We’re also doing a small party with the “one happy dude” theme. Outdoor party at the park.

We are doing "One happy camper" because he loves being outside and we have a camper and some land so we will have a small party by it. I got some decorations and we are getting a cake (for the adults) and I'm thinking of making a little smash cake for him or a yogurt parfait lol. Trying not to give him too much sugar. I'm thinking of doing a bon fire and play a movie on the side of the camper since we have a projector already. We have family flying in from out of town so I'm trying to make it fun for them too

We’re doing a big party at a hall (my husband and I have big families). We’re doing enchanted forest/fairytale theme.

Doing a Fairy First.

Another one bites the dust theme with music records and checkers

Avatar

Butterfly theme because her nickname is Mari like butterfly in Spanish (mariposa). It will be kind of big because that’s how my husbands family does things lol

Avatar

Mostly because he won't remember it yet anyway I am living vicariously through him and making all birthdays themed as Halloween until he starts caring haha. I learned from my first son that the early birthdays are more for the parents anyway

Avatar

I’m doing a rubber ducky theme because that’s my babies favorite toy!

Avatar

We are doing sports themed! My fiancé is sports obsessed and we have some stuff left over from my baby shower too. I found some cute 1 year old sports stuff on Etsy too. We are probably having around 35 people. Immediate family only. If we were to do family and friends I was at 85 people 🤦🏻‍♀️ we might change our mind but we’ll see!

Avatar

I booked a smash cake photoshoot and we are going on a trip to Argentina for 2 weeks🤗

Avatar

We’re doing “The Spooky One” with a pink ghost/Halloween type of theme

Avatar

same! We're doing One Lucky Duck

Avatar

how fun! We are doing the photoshoot as well and going to Disneyland!

Avatar

We are doing Baby is a Wild One 🐒

Avatar

Wow! These are all super cute ideas!! I’m definitely doing a smash the cake photoshoot. I think I might have two small parties/get togethers. Our families are split between two different states so I want to do something small in each location. Thinking about a Minnie Mouse theme party for one and maybe an indoor playground or something for the other.

Avatar

I love that idea! I thought about a vacation too but I traveled with her last month and it was exhausting!! Not sure I wanna for that again anytime soon 😂

Avatar

oh I like that. this sounds like a lot of fun!!!

Avatar

lmao I totally understand that.

Avatar

are you having it at a venue or like a home party? I was looking at a couple of places and it’s sooooo expensive.

Avatar

This would be my first vacation with her. I was thinking to go to universal studios!

Avatar

we are having it at my parents clubhouse (they live in a 55+), it’s at no cost so thankfully the food, decor and goody bags is what we will have to spend money on. Wish we could just have it at a venue but like you said, everything is so expensive-it’s crazy! We are also really feeling bad not having all of our friends/their kids so if in the next couple of weeks we want to invite more, we might. Food will cost more but it’ll still be cheaper than a venue!

Avatar

this is cute! I wish I was into Halloween. I’d do something similar.

Avatar

we are doing BLUEY for my baby girls 1st birthday. a big party at the clubhouse in my neighborhood. my fiancée has a huge family.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet driving them mad?? It goes off 5/6 times night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off! Anyone had similar issues?
