Bronze for moi!

I'd like to thank my parents, my children, my dog, God and my 3rd grade teacher...

bugger even missed out on the (.Y.) prize....

Hey Veronica i wouldn't call that bronze...it looks more like poo brown to me

I did actually have something to say but in making fun of Veronica I forgot

Oh well Hope you are all having a nice day and to all who are sick GET BETTER SOON!!!

Good afternoon all

Appointment went well, all good, dont have to go back to the hospital for another 6 weeks yaay... Bubs is head down (but of course will more than likely turn again), measurements all good, so im happy about that! Im felling 99% better, 1% still a bit "how ya goin" but am eating normal again so all is fine. And no1 else has had the so i rekon it was my bread after all LOL.

I just went to Westfields and spent a few $$, got all my toiletries and a few other things for hospital, actually spent less than i expected so that was good! I actually got 98% of my toiletries from the Reject Shop!!

Nicole ~ Hope you feel better soon!

Bec ~ Hope you are resting up!

Shan ~ COME BACK SOON!!! I would definately be pushing for a credit on your account now! My dad got stuffed around with the phone company for ages and he ended up with a $1000 credit!

Anyway i have a bunch of catalogues sitting in front of me calling my name so guna go read them, then vacuum, then go get Tahlia (a bit later than norm though for no particular reason except that they will be outside playing and she loves it out there so she can play a bit longer )

OMG I have just missed a whole thread DH has been home so haven't had a chance thank goodness he is back at work. We have been at each others throats for the past week we are little touchey after giving up smoking to make matters worse I am 4 days late and starting to stress out a little, since I am still on the pill.so here is a warning of bad language F**k f**k f**k sorry.

Hi everyone,

Firstly- HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY JACK!!!!

Sorry i have been so slack but i have good reasons, i promise. I have missed soooooooooooo much. Just caugh up on 2 threads, not sure how many more i have to go.

Well better get back to catching up, i just thought i'd better write something before i ran out of time.

Vanessa - How are the wedding preps going?

Aidan & Isabel are awake, so trying to do some jobs while juggling them. At least Keenan is still asleep.

Rach

Hi girls,

Well I think this evening I finally feel a bit better. DH and I have major cabin fever and I have been at him this afternoon. But he is going back to work tomorrow so hopefully Audrey and I will be able to get out and do something. We also made my mum sick. It is awful how these things spread.

Nat - We went onto Heinz Nuture formula. Audrey is still having two bottles of breastmilk and one formula but the stash is nearly exhausted so it will be time to move on to three bottles of formula a day soon.

Rach - you must be getting so excited. You sound like you are getting really organised for DF getting home.

Ness - Nice to see that you are still around. How is Ryan?

Moo - Are you going to do a test?

hugs

Lara

Bec+3 we were hafving problems with our internet I rang optius and I asked if they were in australia they said no so I asked for someone who was it helped.

Lara- I know I should do a test but I can't get one 2morrow as I have an extra toddler and no car seat. and murphy's law tells me as soon as I do a test AF will pay a visit. I think I have to wait another a couple of stressful days. My periods have been all over the show since being on the pill so who knows.

Geeee Roni... Could have thanked the babysitter when you got bronze!!!!! j/k.

Schell.

Have PM'ed you back Bec... I am SO excited not only about seeing BJ (which i am kinda freaking about) but also about seeing you my dear friend!!

Well this arvo the kids all slept which was great. Then i dragged them to the gym at 5pm (poor things!) I did 10km on the treadmill and now i am f**ked. It is all good though as i am trying to burn this last 1.9kg which i think is permanently attached to my butt! OH well, i will try to get rid of it and if it stays there then maybe i am mean't to be this weight.

Anyhoo better go, feral children are having dinner, then i am going to chuck them in the bath and *hopefully* get them to bed at a decent hour

Rach

Rach - I am nervous for you, I will never forget the few days before seeing Adrian after being apart for weeks or months. It would drag on and I'd be a nervous wreck and then it would be SO good to see one another and then it would be SO hard to re-adjust to being together again! We never fight apart from in the first few days of being reunited I think it's because you put so much pressure on yourself imagining what things will be like when they come home and when they do it's not the magical solution to everything and they're jetlagged and you both realise you each have faults and aren't the perfect specimens you'd been building up over the months of absence - But it's all good, hey?! Just a bit nerve-wracking at times!

Sorry for that ramble...!

I've finally started to sort through my photos from Brisbane, here's a few



Jack, Josh, Damian and Kirsten





Off to keep working on more photos!

Hi All

I am sooooooooooooo exhausted. First day back at work today and god my brain is hurting! Few teething problems in the family for our first day but I feel confident we can work it out. DH picked up Zoe and he said she was pretty whingy and clingy when he got her home then she power spewed twice When I got home she was laying on DH with her eyes shut but seemed to improve greatly when I got home. I really hope she wasn't just so upset and missing me that she made herself sick. Anyway my fabulous DH had even unpacked the groceries we got delivered while looking after a sick baby so I was impressed. Day care say Zoe is doing much better which is great. Now if I could just learn this new job..............

That's all I have time for I'm sorry - Susie hope you are adjusting ok to being at work.

Hi all,

Mel: tired here too and I have only done 1 day
I knew as soon as I went back I would be wishing I was home.
I prepared everything the night before so I didnt rush around in the morning.Gee a day at paid work is so long. I feel like I've lost a bit of interest and everyone has moved on.Maybe cos I have more important things waiting for me at home
I am possibly thinking about asking to work only 3 days (M,W,F) as my replacement will be kept on (boss's daughter) and they have nowhere to put her anyway.That way she can take up some of the slack.I'm thinking 4 days is a bit much.I might suggest trying 3 days until tax time (helps to min. tax also here) and see how I go.
By going back to work makes me appreciate even more whats at home.

Roni: those photos are beautiful.Love the sparkling water one.

Rach; i might start using my tready again to during Winter as its too dark by the time I get home from work to go walking and I have been pram walking almost everyday since Jack.I have been good and packing a healthy lunch for work and i am determined not to go back to my old ways of eating crap at my desk.I dont want to undone my good work

Bec: Jonah is still in the lead. How toned are your arms. I developed muscle in them just from carrying him around all year.
Jack has really evened out though cos he's getting taller so the weight is alot more evenly distributed. Cheeks are still there but not the chipmunk variety like he was early on.

Moo: I think Optus are owned by Sing-tel which are in Singapre which is why your help is probably not the best. We have Optus and they are ok but the other choice is Telstra which really isnt much of a choice
Moo, would it be a bad thing if a positive came up. Maybe its just late cos your stressing. One of the mums from IRL mg just told us shes pg today with her 2nd. Shes very excited. I guess it got the ball rolling as to who will be next.

Has anyone else started their bubs on cows milk. At the moment I'm doing a 1/3 formula / 2/3 cows milk.Wont be long til I do complete cows milk.I still have a few tins left to use up.

better go off to bed. I have even started reading a bit again in bed. Amazing the other things out there when you switch the comp off
i'm readin How to Babyproof Your Marriage and its quite funny and hits the nail on the head. Only 2 chapters in so far.

Nite all,
Susie

* hi Shannon down there

Hi girls

Just on my way to the shower then bed (as Miss Isabel is asleep for the moment... sigh!) but thought i'd quickly post.

Roni - Those pics are incredible!! We need to organise a catch up, its been ages since i last saw you. Do you go to playgroup on Thursday mornings? I saw Purps this morning and she suggested i come along for the boys socialisation as they love playing with Sam, plus for me for more socialisation (as currently i only really socialise with other Mums on Mondays and Tuesdays and i am feeling a bit blah iykwim. So if you do it would be great to catch up weekly.. but either way we should organise a catch up next week when BJ is here so i can come with just Izzy! Can you tell i'm itching to get outta the house. Also what you wrote about when Adrian came home is what i'm freaking about. We were talking tonight and i said to him that i am worried about it being weird between us and me being a cow and not knowing whether to hug or kiss or whatever. I also said that i am so worried about having in my head that he is the perfect partner & father, but then he gets back and his faults will fall on me like a ton of bricks.. He told me i over analyse everything too much, which i know i do, and told me to go with the flow and we will deal with it as it happens. We have great communication which is good cause i think we will need it!!

Susie - I worked 3 days when the boys were little - i started full time but it was too hard, and 3 days was perfect. IT was enough time to have a break but i also got to have a few days with the boys and to do other Mum things - like cooking, cleaning - all the joyous things! I loved just having those days to hang out at home and play with the boys. Also i am going to start Izzy on cows milk soon. I have 3 tins of formula, so once those are finished then i might only buy another couple and start doing 3/4 formula, 1/4 cows milk initially for a few weeks and build it up like that. Izzy is 11 months now so i guess i could start it sooner but i'm too lazy!

Mell - Oh your DH sounds lovely. Poor Zoe on the spew . I'm sure she will be fine in time though - it is a big adjustment for a little person. I am glad your first day went well. Don't put too much pressure on yourself - you are expected to find it tough - its the joy of being a Mum!!

Anyhow better go - want to jump in the shower. A plumber came and fixed my ensuite toilet today so now i don't have to traipse to the end toilet in the middle of the night. There is a toilet connected to Izzy's room too but it wakes her up so you should see me going down the stairs, down the hall, through the kitchen etc to get to the loo.. its a major pain in the a*se!

I am off to the gym first thing tomorrow, then might be meeting a playgroup buddy and Lara (Lara - you going?) for a coffee, then have to get home to get the kids to bed, then have a lady coming to do my eyebrows & eyelashes waxing/tinting, and then i have a huge homeshop being delivered.. busy busy!!

Night all,

Rach

Rach - I agree with what Roni said about DH's coming home. It can be hard to re-adjust especially because you have been doing everything on your own. I remember when DH came over after a month I cried at the airport and was so happy and then the first time he told me what to do with Audrey I was so p*ssed off. I thought how dare you, I have been doing this by myself. Anyway just try and be patient and enjoy your time with each other.

My little man woke up crying, and coughing so im assuming he is getting what his father has I so had plans 2moro so lets cross our fingers that its just an early morning thing!

DP was up and down all night, coughing and carrying on, poor man, but he still went to work, god forbid he lets his body rest so whatever he has can settle down. Walking around in the cold morning air wont do much for it!

BBL for stuff...personals...etc...

Oh and Susie ~ Jordan is on his 2nd week of 1/4 milk 3/4 formula, all is good so going to go half and half on Saturday!

ETA ~ DP informs me last night that we can get a new car....But not until August. He is going to use some of his Super, and cant get it out until then! I dont know how we are going to sort out the car seats so they fit in our car now, we are going to have to go shopping one weekend and try a few seats out

1 sleep to go...

Had a sh*t night last night... up every 2 hours!!! Its all good though cause one more sleep then i can palm her off to her daddy!

Better go - want to jump in the shower and then get the morning routine under way as i wnat to be out of the house by 9am.

Rach

Morning all,

Rach you must be so excited

Roni those photos look great I wish I could have been there.

Susie no it wouldn't be such a terrible thing if I was preggers but it is not ideal, I am sure if we find out we are we will be excited but for now I am sticking with stress lol.

The neighbours are having there usual morning screaming match I wish they'd get a clue and relise that we can hear every word of what they say. There eldest daughter is about 15 and she is constantly screaming and yelling but her convo's are intresting sorry you girls don't need to know aboiut there live neither do I. I better get something done today.

Morning

Rach you must be so excited to be seeing your DF

Susie i have started cows milk with Chelsea i have 1 tin of formula left and thats it i started 2 weeks ago

gemma i have been up for 2 nights coughing and my tummy is so sore from it

Roni i love the photo the second one is incredible

well i am so sore from coughing my tummy is killing me. its cold and windy here and i just want to go back to bed

Kirra

Roni: I love your photos! I can't say I have a favourite, as I love them all!
Oh, btw, you will have to post a quick before and after of your haircut, it is the rules! lol
Oh my, guess what's back on Prime... hehe The Fairies.
Bring back Bambaloo I say!!!

Rach: I'm excited for you, just don't put too much pressure on the first night, or even the first week, jetlag does silly things with your system.

Yuck, this child has been eating... a new type of breakfast... wooden table, topped off with some lacquer. BBL

Why so quiet???

I am so dumb!!!

I just had a thought, that i would sell my 2 prams i have here, and get a new "duo" one and a layback single stroller, see one in the Toys R Us catalogue that looks worth a look, ring to see if they have any in stock....SALE ENDED 2 DAYS AGO god im stupid, now i went to TRU on Monday, but not to look at prams, grrrrr that just made my day...NOT

I am not quiet, just keeping a child out of micheif

And I am b.o.r.e.d.

Hi all,

Just popped in to say hello from work. Having lunch break.
Just connected my email and msn so getting my comp back to nrml.
Its really weird to think with your brain so fully after a year.
Susie

Lisa

We need to know, do you like your boys to have identical things, or different, or same but different colour?
EG: A car tshirt in blue and one in green, or one car one train, or two blue car tshirts???

Hi girls

Well i am on briefly as i have 8 zillion things to do.

I went and pumped gym this morning bec - i crack up when i say that cause i think of you!

This arvo i have a beauty therapist coming over to do my waxing/tinting, then i have a big homeshop being delivered.

Then tonight i am going to fold all the clean washing and try to make sure the bathrooms are nice and clean and tidy.

Tomorrow morning i am off to the gym (yet again) and then home to clean more and get the house sorted out for when DF gets home. He will be home between 6pm and 8pm - depending on what time flight he can get from Sydney. He is booked on a 6pm flight but his international flight gets in a 3pm, so he might get bumped up to an earlier one if there are available seats (hopefully).

Anyhooo better go - plenty to do as always before this beauty lady rocks up. Aidan is in bed whingeing and has been so naughty so i am waiting for him to go to sleep. Keenan is snoring away and so is Izzy. I get so sick of Aidan's behaviour. He is so naughty sometimes... but then other times he is the cutest thing.. little monkey.

Rach

Alright, saying I was bored didn't mean that needed the phone to ring off the hook!


I am booked into QE2. June 7-11. So, who's birthday's am I going to miss?

- Bel, Gemma & Jodie - Early Birthday wishes to your bubs, I am gonna miss it.

WABEC

Since gorgeous little Harryson's birthday is rapidly approaching is there anything in particular that you need for your little man?

Love from,
Junebugs2006!

oxoxxoxoxoxoxox

Howdy,

Rach- Wedding plans are going well. Bridesmaids have agreed on a dress at long last. Venue is booked for the 11th August, church booked, cars booked, invitations sent and photographer booked. Just need to find the flowers i want and make up books and things. Been busy busy. How's your wedding plans moving along?

Lara- Ryan is going well . He's got a bit of attitude though and very strong minded like his dad. We have a few step here and there, so that's been fun. He is also biting and chewing on everything, can't wait till he is over that stage.

Well best be off, about to take my step mum to the airport.

bbl

take care all

Ness: Glad to hear everything is going well with your wedding plans. Good to see you back. You might need to update us with a new pic of the boy!

Hi Girls,

Well now that Audrey is feeling better in the cold department she has the runs. Am I supposed to do anything special for you? Or is it just make sure i keep the fluids up? She doesn't have a temperature of anything and she is happy. I have just been greeted with lots of poo's.

Shaz - where are you? you haven't been around much lately.

Ness - Audrey has a bit of an attitude too. She chucked a total tanty over her dummy today. She wanted it out of bed and she only has it for bed time.

Schell - great news about QE2, just remember keep thining positive thoughts and don't let anybody run you down for going there.

Oh my cousin gave birth to a baby boy about half an hour a go. No stats yet but it is so exciting.

Big hugs

Lara

It can't come soon enough leah.... i have had one of those days...

Hi girls...
every time i have attempted to post EB has gone *funny* so i am finally posting...
started to feel a little better on Saturday.. despite having minimal sleep..having a pamper at the hairdressers helps! Schell and Rach, I think Lachlan sleep as little as your princesses.. he is still sleeping in our walk in robe at night, because he wakes so often.. and i think if it doesn't get better we will be off to sleep school too
however, he did sleep from 10- 5 on Saturday night... the first hour being in the pram as we were still out at the Engagement party.. i felt amazing after having 6 hrs of un interrupted sleep... the most i've had in a long time..
the christening we attended was very eventful.. we were already running late.. and we went to the wrong church we arrived just at the end of the christening..then while i was in the kinder room with the kids and my girlfriend and her little boy.. her DH came in looking for her phone.. his dad had just had an attack of some type.. the ambulance was called and the mass was ended.. it was all very sad.. P's dad is okay.. but it was pretty scarey and it certainly put a dampener on the rest of the day..

Lara- Audrey may have a tooth coming through.. as Lachie gets the runs when he has teeth popping up.. how exciting for your cousin..

Roni- i love the photo of Julia, it's just magical..

Ness- lol about Ryan's attitude... i just put it down to being a gemini baby!

Susie- hope you are able to go to 3 days a week.. that sounds like a good compromise.. oh and guess who's on our fridge? cut the pic from the paper

Gemma- bummer about the pram.. i'd be pretty frustrated too..

I'm having one of those nights Rach.
Alyssa is still awake, despite being ready for bed and showing tired signs at 7. Thinking it might be teething, get panadol ready and spill half the bottle.
I won't even get started on my mobile disconnection! (One day later than I told them, no call, nothing!)


edit to take a few of the rants away (A bit of an overkill)

Hidey Ho!!!

Lara - Glad Audrey is feeling better. Thanks for thinking of me, I'm still here, just reading to keep up with everyone. I've been feeling very exhausted lately, been busy with work and Caden. I have a few things on the go, that I might share with you all soon (work related), although not really sure how to as I think it is against the rules to advertise here.

Rach - wow wee, one sleep to go, very excited for you. I honestly don't know how you fit it all in. I would never tell DH all that you do, he'd think I was super lazy compared to you.

Schell - yay on getting into QEII, hope it helps with Alyssa's sleeping. We've had a few problems with getting off to sleep recently, but I'll mention that in a minute.

Roni - great photos, sorry I missed the meet up, but unfortunately I was busy helping a client with their BAS at Ashgrove all that morning thru to 3pm. I bet you guys will tell me you were somewhere nearby.

Gemma / Julia - hope you girls are getting a bit of time to relax. Hope you are feeling better Gem, I know you have been sick.

Nat - everytime I see your sig with Tynan running, the red in the background makes it look like he is wearing a cape. Suuupermannn...

Leah - very funny you medal hog from a few threads back.

Kira - gee, I hope poor Ned can stay well for a fair few months now.

More birthdays coming up soon. Lisa I have pm'd you my email addy.

Sorry for anyone I've missed, I have bits 'n' pieces in my mind, if I remember I will post again later.

Us - well

Good news - Cado had Uncle Toby's oats today and no vomiting! Looks like it was just the antibiotics screwing with his tummy. He has also had bread now, just the once, but no problems there either.
Bad news - he didn't like the taste and was gagging even though I mixed them with apple. I might try again with some yoghurt added.

What is everyone else feeding their bubs for breakfast?

Seen ped surgeon yesterday, we now have to book in and make an appt for a circumcision and get it done under a general at the Mater in Brisbane.

Caden is a chewer! Now that he is pulling himself up to standing on everything, he has found he is the perfect height to chew on his old painted white cot. It is painted with acrylic paint and I've found him about 4 times with mouthfuls of little bits of paint chips. I'm not worried about the cot as it can be repainted, I just don't like the idea of all this paint in his mouth.

Needless to say, his off to sleep on his own routine has gone out the window the last week, as we can no longer just leave him in the cot to drift off to sleep on his own as he just wants to practise standing & chewing. Tonight I have wrapped ribbon around the top of the cot, so I will see how that goes.

I don't know if I mentioned Caden hasn't really taken to crawling on his hands & knees, he commando crawls, but has since found in the last 2 weeks that standing and cruising around the furniture is much more fun. I've seen him up on his hands & knees rocking and maybe one step forward, but it looks like he will bypass proper crawling.

P.S. He was 10 months old yesterday.

Schell - Iz is still up too...

I just cleaned out the fridge. Izzy was lying playing with a toy so i thought i may as well do something constructive. I then folded all the washing. I have another 4 loads to do tomorrow so my hope of having all the housework done before DF gets home is not gonna happen. A bit annoyed but what can i do? I guess it will show him that i'm not wonder woman!

I am off to Best N Less in the morning on the way to the gym. They have a underwear sale and i need to get some new "A" cup bras!!

That is the biggest pain in the a*se about losing weight. Why can't i lose a few more cm's off my waist and put it back on my boobs?! ARGHHHHHH!!

Anyhow sorry just having a sh*tful night.

Shaz - Hi! Ooh go Caden with the cruising the furniture!! I can understand how busy you are with work and juggling it all, i honestly don't know how i managed when i went back to work after having the boys. I think i'd go nuts now - so big praise to you from me, as i know how tough it is!

Leah - LOL i don't think there will be any action tomorrow night as soon as DF gets home i think we will both be sleeping. He will be really tired after flying for 30 hours straight.. his plane is going on the weirdest route!! Bloody defence with their charters.

Dani - I should put Iz in our walk in robe it would be much easier to get up to her at night instead of traipsing down the stairs, pity my closest is full of sh*t!

Okey going to try to put this shocker of a child to bed. I honestly was having such a bad day today i yelled at the boys and rang my sister and told her i wanted to get off this ride aka motherhood and get back on in a week or so... I am just so exhausted. Thank god i go to the gym for a break or else i would be going CRAZY!

WABEC - How are you going Bec? I saw your thing on MSN that you joined a gym! Good on you - hope it gives you a break like i get, cause it honestly is great.

Rach

Hello all,

Long time, no chat.LOL

Schell-I had a lot of problems with DS with sleeping, hence why it took me two years to get him out of our bed. DD is not too bad, but does have her moments. Usually if she has not gone down by 3.00pm, then I won't let her have a nap. I give her a warm bath after her tea and then bottle and bed.

Gemma- I saw your posts about the prams, I really hope you find what you are looking for and you can get a good price for the ones you are selling. Bummer about the sale though.

Rach-My god, I can't believe the time has come for your DF to return. So happy for you.

Susie-I also got a bit of a surprise reading the paper. I have been telling everyone that I "know" that gorgeous little man.

Roni-Great photos, I love all the little details that your shots bring out.

Nicole-Sorry to hear that you are unwell now. Poor thing.

Leah-Hello to you and pass on a great big "Hi" to Shan for me.

Better leave it for tonight. DS has just woken up with nightmares.

Hello to everyone I have missed and Ill try to get back in the morning for the rest of my personals.

Well i had another sh*t night... At least there are no more sleeps now!! Only about 12 hours or so til DF is home.

Busy morning planned with gym and some shopping. Boys are still asleep so might try to have a shower before they wake up.

Rach

Argh.. i am so nervous!!

I just realised all my gym stuff is in the wash so might have to miss the gym today. I might go tomorrow when DF is here with the kids just to have a rest!!

Canberra Girls - any of you girls be at Belco this morning? I am going to do some shopping there. So if you are about and want to catch up for a coffee let me know. We will probably be leaving here around 8.30ish as i want to get home nice and early so i can get onto the housework.

I have to wash my sheets and quilt and make my bed with the new linen. I was too scared to make it before today as Izzy is always getting in bed and she spews a bit, so i thought can you imagine her spewing on my new quilt! I would have been distraught.

Anyhow better go and do some jobs..

Rach

Morning all

Sh*t night here, Madam couldn't sleep unless in the bed with me. So we spent the night in the spare room. She has got a snotty nose and last time she had a cold the same thing happened so I'm hoping it's that. Although I have read in a few places that their sleeping can go to sh*t around the times of big adjustment ie day care and yesterday was the first time she'd been two days in a row. I am feeling for DH though because she is whingy when he gets her home but sparks up straight away when I get in. She (and he) will get used to it though no doubt (well hopefully anyway).

Given Zoe has a snotty nose I am not going to IRL Mothers Group today. I'm a bit disappointed but I think it would do both Zoe and I good to have a day home to "regroup" before another work day tomorrow. I have to say I am enjoying being at work though, but missing Zoe terribly at the same time. Oh the joys of Mother Guilt, can somebody explain to me why Men don't get Father Guilt.

Susie - I'd definitely ask to change to 3 days if you think it would suit you better. How's Jack going at Day Care?

Rach - So excited for you, you and the kids will both just love having your DH home, bet they are excited too.

Schell - Blagh to the Fairies I say, Bambaloo now that was a winner in our house, as was Raggs.

Well I'd better make use of my day home and do some jobs, hoping Zoe will have a sleep this afternoon of something longer than 40 mins so I can have a nap myself. I have our BAS to do though, which is really naughty because it was due on Monday but I just haven't had the time. It will only take me 2 - 3 hours I just need to make the time. I hate having it hanging around making me feel guilty too, no doubt the tax office will fine us or something but I can't think about that at the moment.

Happy Thursday

Hi all,

Rach: You be as excited as you want. I hate it when my DH goes away for more than two weeks but I'venever had to be apart from him for months but I know I'd feel the same as you...have fun tonight!

Shaz: I have terrible problems with Ned standing up in his cot. Even his carer at daycare says she just gets him up as soon as he stands because she knows theres no way he will go back to sleep. I hope you don't go down that path. As for breakfast - Ned doesn't have any. He stopped eating it a few months back, I think because he has a BF at arouind 5am and then just wants another one when he gets up. He eats plenty throughout the day though so I'm not worried.

Mel: Ned loves seeing his Daddy when he comes home as well and Daddy is the favourite for the first hour or two before bed. I wouldn't worry about Zoe, it is a natural reaction when you haven't seen your Mummy all day to be excited.

Susie: If you would rather work 3 days then that's what I would do. I really miss Ned and I am only working 2 days. I'm desperately trying to figure out a way I can work from home at the moment.

Well Ned's flu has developed into bronchiolitis (again). The Dr said this could happen every time he gets a cold or the flu for a while. He is quite wheezy but otherwise happy. I didn't go to IRL MG today though. Better go, I've been typing this for ages.

OMG! (I can't change the size or colour... grrr - i wanted impact )

I just heard from BJ - he is in Sydney already, so he will be home at 3.30pm!! YIKES!!

Boys are being shipped off to bed so i can clean and do a few jobs before he gets here..

Rach - yippeeee.......

Kira - gee I hope not too. It's been hard enough just trying to get him to go down to sleep this past week, so I can sympathise with what you must be going thru if his sleep is interrupted. The ribbon seems to be working so far, although now he has started banging on the wall. He has had two really late nights because of it (like 10pm), but he seemed to catch up in his arvo sleep yesterday sleeping 2.5hrs. And his morning sleep today was 1.75hrs. He normally just sleeps 2 x 1hr during the day, so once he catches up we should be fine.

Just had Caden weighed today and he is 8.56kg, just a small fry. I need to get the tape measure out and see how long/tall he is.

Best get some lunch for me now.

Oh crap Leah.. Cars a pain in the a*se aren't they. My parents wonder why we are leaning towards Salary Sacrificing a car and seling ours - so then all the servicing, petrol etc is included. So much easier..

Anyhow boys are awake so i am just trying to keep the house tidy til DF gets here. He won't care but i don't want it to be a sh*tfight just yet! As sooon as he gets here i will tell the boys to do whatever they want. We are going to have pizza for dinner tonight.. yummmo!

BBL tonight maybe... or i might be too busy!

Hi all,
Leah, sounds like you virtually bought a new car.

Rach: are you watching the clock this very minute tick,tock.

I have cleaned the house, vacuum,laundry, changed all the sheets, prepared dinner and the the bills like a good little housewife . Just about to get Jack from over the road and its bucketing down and the power is flickering on and off occasionally.


Lots of sick bubbas. Must be the time for it. Jack is finally clearing up I think. All the crap is coming out of his nose. better out than in but its hard to wipe it as he gets so whingey so i have to hold his hands down. Little bugger.

Might have to walk up the road to the school crossing. Traffics getting heavy. So much for the across the road convenience.Kind of defeats the purpose.

Bye for now,
Susie

He is here!!

He is in the shower and the kids are in the bathroom talking to him. OMG you should see him - he looks INCREDIBLE! He has lost so much weight and his 6 pack is reforming! YAY!! He bought me a diamond necklace which matches a good pair of earrings i have and my engagement ring - so now i am set for wedding jewellery!

Anyhow gotta go he is about to get out of the shower!

Rach

Hey Girls

Sorry i've been MIA - but i'm so sore - lol. I joined the Gym on monday - and have been doing 1 hour workouts then 1/2hr in the pool then 15m in Spa. Its great, I'm loving it and Harryson loves going to the creche. Zaryn doesn't like going - but she'll get over it - or else i'll just go in the arvo's when Shane is home. I did a pilates class today and my thighs are killing me - lol.

Rach - Yay on BJ been home. WOW on the necklace. Hope you have fun catching up.

JuneBug2006 - Harryson would be grateful for anything. Lol. I have no idea what to get him myself

Kylie sent me a text to say that they are great and Reeve has his 2nd tooth - yay.

Harryson is no longer breastfed He is on Pedisure now - which is great, as he's putting on weight. He is 8.9kg, and only 12 days to go until he's 1 - YAY

Thats it for me girls
Will BBL (I promise)
Cheers

Have a great night

Good afternoon

Rach ~ Glad to hear that DF is home safe and sound for a while! Oh and we are having pizza for tea 2nite too LOL

Mental blank.........

Went and picked up my mum and sis today and went shopping, that was ok, but my mum is sooo slow, she stuffs around ALOT LOL. I got my hair cut (just trimmed, ok so probably around 15 or more cm's off it) And no i dont have a before and after shot either Went and bought a trolley suitcase for hosp (just a small one), i figured that it would be easier than the nag i usually take, especially coming home! Picked up some Raspberry leaf tea to try out, didnt have it with the other 2 so thought id give it a go! And thats about it really...

Ok gota go, BBL
