Sandra what a wierdo laughing2.gif yeah dont think i would be wanting to work for him! ppl on avoid private numbers if ist a debt collector after them lol
Wow Aston is 18months its has gone quick!!
We go to sleep school next week, CAN NOT WAIT!!! he was going well for a 2 days and then it all turned to crd again...he has been sick the poor thing i now have him on the nebulizer with saline and ventolin (doc orders, he just couldnt kick this cough and was really wheezy) i NEED him better by the end of teh week or we cnat go to karitane sad.gif so i have evryrhting crossed that he improves.
Kaiden is doing well, i am so happy with his behaviour of late, he is doing well and not many tantrums at all, only when he wakes up on the wrong side of the bed lol


Hi to everyone, sorry i have been a slacko, really having been on eb much!! Hope ou and your bubbas are all doing well1
SimplySweet
OK got slack coming in on the weekend ph34r.gif

Sandra, Thankyou. She is named Lacey Joy. She is just gorgeous. I've had 2 visits already. She was born y'day morning. My sister has really bad juvenile arthritis and has had since age 8. So many thought she could not give birth naturally, she was pushed by dr's to have a caesar. She had the perfect birth. Lacey arrived in the caul, in the bath, drugfree labour, tiniest tear that didn't require a stitch at all. They are home already and doing fab!
What a weird guy, I don't think I would want to work for him either, lol
I never answer private numbers. If I can't see who it is, I don't pick it up. On the mobile or home phone,lol

Jodie, Hope the sleep school helps out. Is he not sleeping well at all? Hope he is better asap.

Donna, School runs no different as they walk anyhow. We finally have them all at one school and it's walking difference. BUt yes sports are a bit easier. I am loving him on his p's already. Few things are already easier and I have someone to run some errands now, pmsl
Hope the boys are better asap. Yay on doing the run. Hope you have a great time.

Kat, Well done on the tting going so well. Wow not much longer now, where did that time go.


GOIng to leave it there, sorry guys. Need to open the tab and it's late and I have a few chores to do.

Working tomorrow. Thomas will go into cc with the kids so all good. Older boys are still in Qld until thurs. They are having a blast at all the theme parks, Aus Zoo, etc. 2 weeks of school holidays now.
All good around here (except car issues) Not a great deal to post about, that you wouldn't have read on FB tongue.gif

Better go, will bbs








I really need to get a new sig made hey original.gif
happinesswith2blue
Oh I love the name Lacey. Glad that she did well. Speaking of theme parks we took the boys to movie world on sat and they loved it. We bought the $100 fun pass for a whole year. It's movie world,seaworld(which i think they will love the most) and wet' n'wild. Pretty good price considering adult entry to get into seaworld and movieworld is $74.
Im sure your boys will have heaps of fun.

laughing2.gif roll2.gif Cohen is pushing/running his tonka truck inside and Aston thinks Cohen is going to run him over in it. Aston runs around the house (I don't think he little chubby short legs can carry him) screaming. It was rather amusing roll2.gif

chaosprincess
Last year I got the girls 3 world passes for their birthday, it was $50 for adults and $30 for kids... we went to seaworld twice and movieworld once.... seaworld is definitely the best!! Especially in the warmer months as thesection with water slides is open and you can go swimming!! But the polar bears and all the animals of seaworld are cool.. it's more catered to younger kids I think. Movieworld was good, but basically all the same rides as seaworld but not the extra entertainment.

I want to take the girls to Dreamworld next original.gif
Abbygirl
laughing2.gif Sandra I loved reading about you waking up to Aston playing cars on your head!
I've thought about weekend work too, but I know I'd miss spending time with DH home and all of us just relaxing together. Plus I'm lazy laughing2.gif
Gracie's sleeping is a bit better, but we'll see how she goes tonight as she's sick sad.gif
I can't believe that Aston is 18 months old soon ohmy.gif that's just amazing, you know - I still think of him as being a new baby ddoh.gif
Oh and that guy who interviewed you - what a nutter!

waves.gif Donna, nice to hear from you.
Yes, the comic book.... I was going to do the artwork for one - the digital colouring to be exact, but since I haven't heard from the Editor/publisher (he's so unorganised) in months I'm taking it that the project is off... and if I do hear from him I'll decline it now anyway, I don't have the time any more, and I'd prefer not to wonder and wait months for payment....
Oh well - their loss cool.gif
Glad to hear I'm not the only one who's child just wants to play on the toilet.
.... and good on ya for joining up to the 'city to surf' You'll feel so much healthier in 6 weeks time! I'd love to take a leaf outta your book, but as mentioned previously - I'm lazy biggrin.gif

I hope that things are going well with Dane at his sleep school Jodie, you must miss Kaiden and DH so much sad.gif
..but then it's gotta be worth it if it helps keep the family sane and rested! So fingers crossed you both come outta there happier original.gif

Congrats to you on the birth of your niece Kristy, and congrats to your strong Sister for defying the odds!

US, I've been so busy the last couple of weeks that I haven't had a chance to get onto here or FB

Grace has caught a nasty cold from DH, who caught it from his brother and niece Grrrr
It was DH's birthday last thursday so I threw a party for him on Sat afternoon, BIL came up with his DD (4yr old) but didn't tell us they were sick. They stayed the night and I only noticed the next morning (was running around for the party all night) that DN had a green nose. I asked BIL and he was all yeah - we've got colds.
SO here we are again, but this time poor Grace has been hit hard, her temp was 38.8 tonight, but luckily we'd just given her panadol so it dropped pretty quick.
She's asleep now and we'll keep checking on her through the night.
My nose is starting to run too now so I am NOT HAPPY JAN

Other than that like I said BUSY, I took me 2 weeks to get organised for DH's party, we had a fiesta !
Was so much fun making the mexican decorations and mexican food. ...
Then we've had SIL and her DH and 4 kiddies staying with us, they left this morning, but stay with us again on friday (if were not all too sick)
Then DH's 2 best mates stay the night and have a boys night on Sat...

I'm looking forward to being able to slow down a bit soon.
Anyhoo, I'm off to bed, so tired and need to rest up incase I'm up all night with Miss G.

I hope everyone is well wub.gif


Oh - and don't mind the spelling, can't be bothered with spell check tonight!

ph34r.gif

Sorry I've been MIA, school is back and we are getting back into our routines.

We went to Port Fairy for a few days, Ben then went to Dromana with his grandparents for a few days, Arch and I went down after the first night too.

I got a Distinction for my Masters subject ddance.gif very happy!

Donna - I hope sleep school is working for you.

Marika - bugger about the colds, how inconsiderate rant.gif

j-o-d-i-e
hi guys havnt been in for a while

Marika a BIG FAT massive congrats on #2, how very exciting you are due around the same time as my sister, i bet gracie is going to be super excited to have a baby brother or sister



re sleep school was good, the day time he is doing SOOO much better which is great but the night is still a big tough waking alot, however the last 2 nights have been much, much better but last night we resorted to the pram/stoller next to our bed and rocking for 5 mins until he was asleep (was awake for 1.5hrs rolleyes.gif ) but he then sleeps for 5hrs straight in the pram so i was just happy to get a decent sleep lol
i did miss kaiden heaps, he came in for a quick visit and when he saw me, ran with his arms opena nd said 'my mummy' wub.gif then gave me a big kiss and looked at me and grabbed my head and pulle dit in for another big kiss lol was so sweet it made all the other mums teary as they had other kiddies they had left at home for the week.

Abbygirl
Thanks Jodie wub.gif
Was wondering how long it would take someone in here to catch on biggrin.gif
We're pretty chuffed, and I know Gracie will be too, she LOVES her baby cousin and talks about her all the time . This is our niece that I babysit - although not sure how much longer that will last because I have pretty bad morning sickness, and just looking after Gracie at this stage is a real stuggle...
I also have the cold from hell, I'm so sick of coughing. It's almost hard to breath at night because I'm so congested sad.gif

Oh Jodie that made me teary reading how Kaiden ran up to you in the sleep school. Darn hormones!
It must have been so hard leaving him behind.
Great to hear Dane's sleep has improved, I hope it continues to get better and that your nights get much easier. You must be just soooo tired. sad.gif

Off to sit still for a bit sick.gif
Lia

Woo Hoo congrats Marika on your BFP.gif ddance.gif
poss71
Marika - congratulations!!!!!

God, will we EVER not be sick in this household? Sorry for the whinge, but I'm trying to get over a chest infection and DH has been down with a nasty head cold. Eleanor woke up at 11pm sobbing her heart out with a barking cough and poor hoarse voice. sad.gif Have dosed her up with Panadol, but I was hoping for a nice sleep tonight. Fingers crossed. (I won't even mention Meggie in case I jinx her too! he he)

Jodie, sweet little Kaiden. I bet you missed him sorely. Glad the sleep school has helped, hopefully Dane will get better and better at it.

Kristy, congratulations on your new little niece. She looks gorgeous in the photo! A big well done to your amazing sister, what a toughie she is.

Sandra, hopefully the job hunt is going well.

Lia, we should catch up soon. Perhaps next week, when I'm no longer Typhoid Mary? laughing2.gif
j-o-d-i-e
Jo sad.gif hope you house hold gets better soon, not fun... poor little Dane has just got his 2nd lot of Bronchilitis in 3 weeks.. i now really hate winter!!!!


Lia, well done on your distinction


Marika poor bugger, hope the morning sickness comes and goes nice and quick


Daneo is doing much better at night but i have been naughty as putting him in the pram if i cant get him to sleep within 30mins...but he is sleeping better in the pram, i am sleeping better, josh is sleeping better so the household is much happier so doing whatever works! we put him in his cot every night and its getting later in the night that he is waking so hopefully he will eventually start to sleep through.... well thats the plan anyway lol
Abbygirl
Thanks Lia and Jo wub.gif

Ya do what ya gotta do Jodie! For a while there we could only get Grace to sleep in her pram... it would take us hours and hours of rocking it over our carpet bump, then once she was down we'd have to transfer her to her cot... It was bloody hard but we had to do it for our sanity otherwise she just wouldn't sleep. We took turns each night, and it lasted for a couple of months wacko.gif
I really hope he improves for you.

Argghhhhh can't believe we're going to go through all of that again! Tounge1.gif
chaosprincess
Congrats Marika!!!!

Jodie -my girls used to sleep in their rockers a heck of a lot in the first year. I'd bounce them to sleep and then be too scared to move them!

Definitely! If the weather is good we could meet at Wombat Bend park, its kind of midway between us, its the best park too tthumbs.gif

http://www.manningham.vic.gov.au/play/play...t_bend.html?s=0

A GF and I went and saw Inception today...... not bad tthumbs.gif Oh, I forced myself to see Eclipse last week wink.gif. I felt like a dirty old woman looking at Taylor Lautner blush.gif
happinesswith2blue
Oh WOW i haven't been in here for ages and I was reading Marikas post then I looked at her sig (always do) biggrin.gif and I noticed it said baby due in March bbaby.gif wub.gif ddance.gif eexcite.gif So so excited for you Marika. How do you feel? Awesome news.
Im clucky, but these two boys at the moment make me not want anymore.
Hope you all feel better soon at that the morning sickness settles down for you.

I forced myself to see Eclipse last week . I felt like a dirty old woman looking at Taylor Lautner
Oh Lia I cracked up reading that. Considering he is 16-17 or something It felt wrong perving on him too laughing2.gif

When the boys were babies they too slept in the rocker and the pram,but mainly the rocker. Used to go through lots of batteries,but it was a life saver when all we wanted to do was sleep.
Glad it well at sleep school Jodie hope it continues for you. I bet that melted your heart what Kaiden did. Gorgoeus.

Hope you all feel better Jo.

Not much happening here. I did get offered a job at the super IGA. But they rang me back and said that they hired too many people and have to offer the positions to the other people who they asked first blink.gif but that's ok. I will look for something else.

The boys have really been testing my patience in the last few wks. I haven't really had a break,so I'm going to stay at a friends place this wknd. Kinda have had enough of Ryder and I would love to move closer to public transport and shops. I feel real lonely here sad.gif
Cohen is still being a crap sleeper. Had some good days, but that has long gone.

Anyway that's about it.

Abbygirl
wub.gif laughing2.gif I like this surprising people biggrin.gif
I feel pretty shabby right now Sandra, MS is bad and this cold I have just isn't budging, but then DH had it for nearly 3 weeks sad.gif
This PGcy is already so different to Gracies. I didn't get any MS with her and it's here almost all day with this one, I didn't feel any tireder with Grace but I'm so knackered with this one that twice now I've fallen asleep for a second or two when I'm reading to the girl or having quiet plays with her, and both times DH has been at work ohmy.gif That's something I've really got to be careful with,
I'm also finding it hard to eat ATM. The very thought of most foods turn my stomach, but at the same time I'm so queezy that I need to eat then and there. Not fun.
So all in all this teeny tiny baby is not endearing it'self to me right now Tounge1.gif
We had a scare last weekend where I had a bleed, so I had to race off to hospital because I needed an anti-d injection (I'm a negative BT) and then we waited two days until monday to have a scan and make sure 'Bubbles' was still alive.... and there it was; a beautiful little blob with a strong HB wub.gif Both DH and I had a tear! DR thinks the bleed may have been caused by excessive coughing from this freaking cold glare.gif
I just wish I didn't feel so sick.
Sorry you're having a rough time Sandra, wish we lived closer, then you'd never feel lonely sad.gif
Hope you have some good 'you' time with your friend this weekend.

Oooo Lia Taylor Lautner is my favourite! There's just something about him that makes me drool! YUM
I still haven't seen Eclipse yet even though I'm such a sad TwiFan (I'm a tad obsessed), but I haven't had a chance to go to the cinema. Might have to push the issue though, I think another Taylor fix is needed wink.gif
Azul
Just spying! Couldn't read Marika's news and not post. Congratulations!! I'm sure Grace is going to be the best big sister wub.gif biggrin.gif Hope you start ti feel better soon.

Big hugs Sandra!

unitedus
Conrats marina looks like your due two months after me! Hope you have a wonderful pregnancy!


Hi to everyone else just thought I'd pop in to say congrats as I don't ever read the board anymore as I'm too busy :-)
j-o-d-i-e
yay Kat thats very exciting, not too long now until bub #3, gees you are super mum going to have 3 under 3, brave woman lol cant wait to hear the details! ddance.gif

Hi Lori nice to see you in here waves.gif you should pop in more often!

kaiden is doing well, think he is still getting some teeth, wish they will hurry the heck up!

ok dinner time, best be off to feed the children lol
*Mumma-to-A*
Hi Girls

Congratulations Marika! And Lori and Michelle!

I've been clucky lately but I'm just not ready yet. I would like to try in about another 2 years but then worry that it might be too much of a gap but I don't want to be pregnant at this point in time.

I hate it when you get disrupted just before you finish catching up the thread and forget most of what you have read.

Donna - We ended up going for the single bed and trundle. Then the day before we picked it up I changed my mind and paid the extra $21 for the bunk beds. He loves it so much and gives me the extra room for stuffed toys (I curse stuffed toys!!!) How does Toby handle the cold? Alex has rarely gotten sick and we have done swimming through 3 winters now but it's amazing at the end of april how many children got pulled out of my classes. I can understand if you have a child who gets a cold that goes for 3 weeks why you'd not bother in winter. It's all about water familarisation at this age. Good luck with open uni.

I have just finished my austswim qualification last month and have now got my qualification for infantaquatics (babies, toddlers and preschoolers) but my mum has had to go back to work so I had to give up the day she had Alex (I couldn't get him in daycare either) It means I now only work 4 hours a week!!! At least it keeps my qualification up. I don't know what I am going to do, I love beign home with Alex but loved the extra $ too. No play money now but we already have booked and paid for Bali in October so yay!

Kat - Good luck with bub #3 Do you know what you are having?

Alex was never a bad sleeper as a baby. MAN am I getting pay back now. I'm so sick of him ending up in Bed with me. The last week though he has been going to sleep better.

Jodie - Hope you little man is sleeping better now.

Gotta go and have dinner. But hope to be back in soon.

Sonia



chaosprincess
I PMed you Kat, my number has changed original.gif

Well I had a big weekend, went to Sydney and caught up with 2 fabulous single mummies, Maddy and CJ. I'm still recovering LOL. Crazy times.

I have a pole perfect aerobics class tonight!! Should be interesting! I won a 6 week course on facebook. Sandra is babysitting the kiddies for me because she is so awesome!
Abbygirl
Thanks for the congrats girls biggrin.gif
Wooo Lori, we can be big fat whales and whinge and whine together!

Had a couple of good days last week but whoa, feeling pretty horrid since, vomiting makes me feel a tad better, but the laa day queezy is starting to get to me a bit.

I saw your pics Mel, looks like you had an awesome time with Maddi and CJ

Wahooo to having a date Kat! 18 days to go!!! It's so exciting!!!

Yay to Dane sleeping well Jodie! keep it up you cute little Ogre ! I saw our sig request pics, soo cute! I might have a play for you one day - that's if I feel better any time soon...
Hope you cold isn't too bad.

Sorry Alex is sleeping bad too Sonia, hope it's a short lived phaze.


I'm waiting for our brand new Queen bed to be delivered today eexcite.gif we also got side tables.
Ohh it's sooo nice, didn't realise how horrid our old one was until we tested out some new ones in the shop on Sat.
We thought a new bed and mattress might help us both as neither of us are sleeping well, Nicholas because of his back, and me because I can't get comfortable on our concave lumpy peice of crap!

Hopefully if I have some better sleep my MS will ease up..?.....


So excited!
j-o-d-i-e
Marika yay to the new mattress, We have a nice comfy one and I find it so hard sleeping in a different bed. Hope the ms settles soon.. And yay to having a play with those pics if you have time, they are so cute original.gif

Mel sounds like you had a good time away

joka
Aww Jodie that is the cutest thing ever. My new favourite sig with out a doubt lol.

Thanks Mel I got you PM, was having a few pre labour contrax the other night and realized that I had no one in the groups number except you and Sandra. Hope that is cool me sending you a message biggrin.gif in 18 days OMG 18 days.

Marika how awsome a new mattress

Better go we are a very sick house hold at the moment sick.gif blagh it is not nice
*Mumma-to-A*
OMG Jodie he is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute! I love that sig. Now I'm very lazy Alex is 11 months old in my sig blush.gif

Marika - I really hope your MS eases off soon.

Mel - So what did you get up to in Sydney? Look forward to the facebook update on the pole classes hahahaha.

Kat - 18 days Eek Are you prepared for the new baby?

Dh has no work this week. He is drving me insane.
Abbygirl
OMG what a blissful sleep! It was like sleeping in a hotel!
Our room looks so different with the new bed and side tables, and the mattress is just awesome!
Our old bed frame was actually coming apart in places ohmy.gif which wasn't good considering DH has spinal problems and I'm UTD.

I'm so excited to go to bed again already laughing2.gif

Great sig Jodie original.gif do you still want me to have a play?

chaosprincess
Yep no worries Kat original.gif

Pole dancing was fun, felt very uncoordinated but a good work out. Won't be going again though, unfortunate circumstances, enough said LOL

Sydney was fun, went out to karaoke, had a wander around Circular Quay to do the touristy thing. I went more for the company though, I wanted to meet Maddy and CJ biggrin.gif Was happy to come home though, didn't think I'd get home sick after 2 nights hahaha

Another friend of mine wants me to come up to Cairns to see her in September, we've been friends since uni, so that should be good original.gif

18 days Kat not long now!!!
j-o-d-i-e
Mel is CJ from eb??

marika glad you had a good sleep and many mroe to come biggrin.gif
yeah if you could have a play that would be awesome, i have a private eb group (couldnt keep up when they merged on eb so we made our own lol) so it will get gooooood use biggrin.gif


Sonia thanks, i think he is pretty spunky lol hope DH stops driving you insane soon lol

Kat thanks biggrin.gif you have 2 little cuties yourself... hope your household is feeling better soon
chaosprincess
Yes she's from EB, but we formed our own single parent group away from here and have all become really close. I only really got to know her from the private group though.

The single parent forum here on EB tends to get lots of idiots coming in and putting their 2 cents when they have no idea what it's like to raise children on your own or going through a separation, so I'd never really contribute too much in there.

As we all know the privacy and security of offsite smaller forums can be a godsend sometimes.

It really was a spur of the moment decision to go to Sydney though, CJ even put my airfares on her credit card as my tax and supps haven't come through yet, it's been nearly a month since I lodged my return grrrrr. Otherwise I would have organised to meet up with some of the sydney folk from our parent group.

It was a nice little break for us single mummies though.
GIO
OMG - Everytime I pop in here it's another couple of threads. Have you girls seen how slow the other 2008 threads go? LOL.

Kat - I can't believe you are due in 18 days - are you superbreeder or what!!!!

OK Better run - Just know that I do try to keep up, just not very good at it.

I actually feel really good the last week or so. Like the fog is lifting. Getting energy back - I think I must have been in a deep hole of tiredness for the last ..... um...... six years. LOL.

I guess it helps that DH is back & able to help me, after 6 weeks in India, so I'm appreciating having him around.

Ciao

happinesswith2blue
Marika- Your new bed sounds so lovely.I bet you would've slept really well on it.
How scary that you had to dash off to the hospital,glad to hear all is ok with bubs though. Hope the morning sickness has settled a little for you.

Jodie- Your sig of Dane is so cute. He sure is a little cutie. Looks like his christening went well. Loved the pics of his little outfit. I bet if feels great that Dane is sleeping better. Hope it continues like this for you. Aston still wakes up at least once during the night.Maybe one day he will sleep through again.

Lori & Michelle- Congratulations on your #3 pregnancy.I'm sure Taylin and maddie will love it

Kat- Wow not long now, hope the boys give you some rest (hopefully) before bubs comes. So excited for you. How's the names coming along. Have you and Joel decided on anything? Where's the belly pic biggrin.gif
Hope you are all feeling better.


Donna-How is the teething going? Hope you are getting some sleep and Ben too. How's Open Uni. Are you enjoying it more now?

Sonia- Excellent news on finishing your austswim qualification. I pull Cohen out during winter when he was swimming,but I will have to ring up and put him back in when it warms up.He loves the water. Not sure how Aston would go though.Soon find out.
Enjoy your hloiday in Bali. How exciting.

Amanda- I bet you would be glad to have DH home.Long time to be away.


unitedus
Marika yes I'm huge already but that's to be expected afterall it is my 5th pregnancy!!!


Sandra thanks we are VERY excited, in fact our son will be here either just before Christmas or just after Christmas so yes the girls are very excited to meet their brother.

happinesswith2blue
Excellent news that you will be welcoming a babyboy.gif you all must be thrilled.
chaosprincess
How strange.

I recall you saying just last Wednesday that you felt sorry for Lori's unborn baby being born in to that family and that you didn't believe she was pregnant anyway.... or was my hearing off a little that day? I don't get the two faced attitude from in real life to online Sandra.

Maybe it's just because you now have also put me and my family in the same category in which you judged Lori and her family and are now trying to appear nice as pie?

I can't stand two faced people, if you have an opinion own it..... bah.

Sorry for the drama guys, but I just had to call this out. I don't like fake.
happinesswith2blue
Say what you like Mel biggrin.gif keep it coming
j-o-d-i-e
oh MEL you can be a real nasty peace of work!!!

you could at least have the decency to comment to sandra with a private message instead of bringing it up on a forum!! nice and classy!!!!
justpeppermint
Wow, just wow.

Is that you in the glass house? Would you like a stone?

I'm sorry but when someone gets attacked for something that is NOT their fault and they have the guts to call someone out on it, they are the one in the wrong?

If people were adults and RATIONAL about dealing with issues perhaps she wouldn't have to address it in group.

I knew there was a reason I stopped coming in here rolleyes.gif
j-o-d-i-e
wouldnt being an adult involve talking to the person not splashing their issues all over a parenting forum making others feel uncomfortable?
justpeppermint
You're assuming she didn't actually try that but whatever.
j-o-d-i-e
no not assuming!!!!
chaosprincess
sad case of shoot the messenger *sigh*

Being two faced always catches up with people. At least with me you know I'd tell you exactly what I think, as I have in the past, without all the behind the scenes gossiping and bs. Who has time for that? It's much more satisfying to get your point across to the person intended. Normally you do that sort of thing to work through the issues, but sometimes that's not possible. So be it, life goes on, minus a few fake people.
j-o-d-i-e
Shoot the messenger??? ummm no, l dont believe what you revealed was a message that was meant to be pasted on, it was a conversation that you and Sandra took part in, so the one being two face was you who has now taken a conversation that you two had which was meant to be between the two of you and you have now blurted it on a public forum to bring to everyones attention that you and sandra have had differences..

I think you could have handled the situation with more class and perhaps just moved on and dealt with it like an adult instead of a teenager and use the internet to vent your problem and belittle another person.

DH has the day off tomorrow so he's coming to playgroup with Gracie and I !!
It'll be nice for him to be included and see where we go and what we do every friday biggrin.gif

Then at three we're off to our local CHY centre for Gracie's 2.5 yr old check up. I'm really interested to see what they say. I hope she's doing well with everything.

What else... I've started to pop out now, there's no mistaking that I'm pregnant! I hope that doesn't mean I'll be huge with this one.. although I carried pretty big with the girl.

Oh yeah - and I've started reading Stephenie Meyer's 'The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner' and it's awesome.
For those who are Twilight fans and haven't heard about it; it's was publ;ished this year and is a short book about a very minor character that appeared once in Eclipse. I recommend reading it!
I started at about 10am and I've nearly finished it already! That's in betweem playing with Grace, doing some chores and cooking dinner for 2 nights! This book has the good stuff of the Twilight series, but without being bogged down by the crappy 'romance'.

Sonia- How does Toby handle the cold? Alex has rarely gotten sick and we have done swimming through 3 winters now but it's amazing at the end of april how many children got pulled out of my classes. I can understand if you have a child who gets a cold that goes for 3 weeks why you'd not bother in winter. It's all about water familarisation at this age. Good luck with open uni.
I think he is ok with the cold... He has only been swimming a handful of times. I really need to get onto it. I loved swimming as a child and hate that DS isn't in lessons yet. Good luck being a swim teacher! I have a coule of friends who are teachers and they love their job! original.gif

Jodie- your new sig is SO cute! original.gif Toby has been a pain going to bed lately too! He has also started waking up at like 2am "scared" so len has to go and sleep in his bed to calm him down... sad.gif

Marika, Lori, Kat (and any other pregnant person I have missed)- How are you going?

Mel- You changed your name! Nice pics of Sydney! You look like you had heaps of fun- omg at that bruise! lol!

Marika- New bed- awesome! I love the feel of new sheets, I can't imagine what it must be like to sleep in a totally new bed! How is your DH going?

Sandra- teething isn't going too bad. So far we have 2 teeth and I suspect another one will pop up any day. Ben is such a placid baby so when he gets upset it isn't too bad iykwim. I haven't started uni yet, it goes back on the 15th. So until then I am enjoying the SAHM life. lol. How are you going with your boys (all of them).
