Just had to WOOHOO!!!! that DS1 got into the kinder that is my first preference for next year! And I just found out that one of his best little friends (ie. his mum is one of my besties LOL) got in too YAY!!!!!! We were on the waiting list, so I'm happy and relieved to know that we have a place :D
And woohoo that Kelly and I are meeting Bun tomorrow :dance: I'm excited! Lisa??????? You must be busy ATM hun!
Mako - Have a great weekend away... and don't feel bad for leaving Sage... enjoy it!!!! I'd love a weekend away from Luke right now.. he's exhausting me!!!! LOL... I'm sure I'd miss him terribly though!! Hope things settle down with the Clomid too and I'm praying that it works!!!!
Janie - Woo Hoo... that's BRILLIANT news hun.. I'm sure I'll be waiting a while to see if Luke gets in anywhere as we are WAY down the end of the waiting list.. so not expecting much... it's soooo frustrating seen as he could of been in 3 year old kindy this year in Perth.. oh well... gotta get over that!!! I'm very jealous that you've got N in with a friend too... we would of had that back in Perth but not over here!!! At least I've still got Luke in daycare and I'm starting to think that the kindy program there would be better for us anyway, as he'll be there for the whole day.. not just a couple of hours, so gives me some good time with the new baby!! We'll just wait and see what happens.
Bun / Janie - I can't wait for our catch up tomorrow!!!! Super exciting.. and Lisa, hope you can somehow make it too!!!
Jayne - How are you holding up hun? Hope all is ok... thinking of you.
Michelle - Thinking of you always too hun and I'm hoping you can somehow make the trip to Melbourne when Jayne is here.. would be great to see you again and give you a nice big hug irl.
Hope everyone else is doing ok. Sorry for the poor effort at personals.
AFU - All going pretty good here still... I'm incredibly tired and not sleeping very well but again, it's a small price to pay for the miracle thats happening inside me. I felt so terrible earlier though, poor Luke was in tears because he wanted me to play with him, but I was so damn tired I physically couldn't get myself off the couch. Ended up both of us in tears. Not fun but I'm feeling a bit more alive again now, so have had a good play to make up for it. I'm getting some bad pain down really, really low too.. making it hard to walk at times.. a bit scary seen as I'm not even half way yet but hopefully it settles down. I see the OB on Wednesday, so very much looking forward to that. It's hard not having family around to help out but thankfully my MIL is arriving on Sunday, so that will be nice!!! DH left for Newcastle this morning too but he's only gone tonight and will be home late tomorrow, so I'm pretty happy that he got it down to one night. Other than that, we're just trying to keep warm.. it's so damn cold over here!!!!!
OOOhhhhhh... and i have some Woo Hoo news too... Luke's COMPLETELY out of nappies now.. night time and all!!! I'm so shocked that the nights are dry already, we didn't even try to get that happening but when he was dry every single night, we decided it wasn't worth spending the money on more pull ups... so he's in undies!!! We haven't had a sinlge accident for such a long time now... so I'm happy to say we actally made it!!! LOL. It's so wonderful and he even insists on standing up to do wee now.. it's adorable.. he just goes on his own and I love walking past and seeing his little naked bum.. and he has to stand on tip toes to get his willy over the edge of the toilet.. it's so cute. He's got good aim too.. doesn't really miss!!! I'm very proud!!!
Anyway must go.. have had a lazy afternoon.

HI Ladies,
Have been offline for a few days. Retreated back to my 'hermit' phase for a while. I'm like a carousel horse, one minute I'm up, the next I'm halfway & the next minute I'm on the floor.
Claudia has gotten much better, still coughing like she has been smoking all her life at times, but definitely slowing down. Jess has picked up her appetitie - thank the lord. I had Banjo sterilised yesterday, **** is all I can say. The vet told me he would have made a champion stud-dog with the 'man bags' he had. He has had to cut him further than normal to get them out & therefore is incredibly swollen & more stitches than usual. He is in that much pain that he keeps collapsing when he tries to walk. It's really pitiful. Plus he hasn't weed since I got him home which I'm worried about. I might zip him back to the vet for some pain relief & a check up - it's honestly that bad. I have to carry him sometimes because he slides to where he wants to be & then can't move back to his bed.
I have been to my 'appointment' - which basically gave me the information I thought I would get - re: entitlements. Just a lot to process......
Well I'm so sorry for such a selfish post - I am thinking of you all.
Love Jayne x
Thinking of you too Jayne. :hug: I'm glad you had your meeting. I'm thinking there is a certain someone who might benefit from a visit to Banjo's practitioner... :lol: :comfort: :comfort:
I thought the same Deb :lol: Glad your appt is over and done with Jayney :hug:
Oh yes, that's going to be a 'condition' of my current situation........... heheheeh.
Is it someone's birthday today??? :think: :lol:
Happy Birthday Kristy!! :happybirthday: Hope your day is full of so many wonderful things, as well as some angel kisses..........xx
LOL I was just coming in to say HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY to our gorgeous Spring! Hope you have had the best of days, surrounded by your four boys :hug:
Well :happybirthday: to our gorgeous beautiful friend! I didn't know if it was "allowed" - weather you were lying low or ... wasn't sure if I was letting any cats out of any bags! :happybirthday: :hug:
I think Spring was just avoiding those of us on the other side of the evil :lol:
Happy Birthday beautiful lady (even though it was yesterday) *mwah*
Thanks guys. I got so spolit, so much so that I feel undeserving. DH planned a big surprise party he even took me out to dinner and got mum to call me to say I had to come home because They couldn't settle Ben and could I come home and feed him to sleep ( I'd left EBM). Walked in the door and got the surprise if my life. My closest gf's were there and some travelled from Brissy along with my beautiful family.DH had arranged all the catering, alcohol and a delicious cake without ke finding out. Ended up in town Dancing and I surprised myself by staying out until 3am. Needless to say I was up at 6.30am with the boys so shattered today. All that was followed by a scrumptious BBQ breakfast this morning. I feel very special
Spring xx
ps no doubt the drunk photos will be showing up on fb soon. The funny thing was I hardly drank all night because I knew I'd have to get up to the boys so I have no excuse for looking so tanked (lol)
Oh darling what a beautiful birthday!!!!! That is so wonderful & you my love are so deserving...
In my next life I want a man like yours! :hug:
OH Deb I'm sooooooo with you there! We will have to go out scouting for men together because I'm SOOOOOOOOOO lining up for one of those! hahahah
SPRING _ What a fantastic surprise & what a fantastic gesture for your friends to travel the distance. I think that's just beautiful of everybody. Well done all around I say. It's just testament to how deserving and what a beautiful person inside & out that you are. xx
When you are looking girls, can you add me to the list. I miss my beautiful man and the special things he used to do for me and us :( I didn't buy myself an anniversary gift or even flowers but I am thinking of buying myself an iPad as a birthing gift (and a new iPhone ;)). Greg can't so I guess it is up to me to spoil me.
Sorry - wasn't meaning to be a sad sack. I am just so pleased some of the beautiful ladies are being treated as they should be and that makes me remember what is no longer here.
Would anyone like my little ones for a few minutes - they are currently bouncing on the bed and resisting sleep (just for Jayney - it is almost midnight here :rolleyes:). Again :lol: It should make for a nice lie in but with Omar trying to turn around I can't *assume the positions* to assist him because they are climbing all over me. Lily is giving me *cuddles* and kissing me which is very cute but I would rather she GO TO SLEEP!!!!! Oscar is no better because he wants *elbow* and neither can have me because I am sooooooo uncomfortable. Ahhh, the joys ;) In about 5 weeks there will be another one to add to the mix. Heaven help me!!!
Spring - Sounds like you had the most wonderful birthday!!! How special... definitely one to remember!!
Michelle - Hugs hun.. hope you managed to get those cheeky monkey's to bed... and surely you got a sleep in with them going to bed so late!!
Jayne - Thinking of you hun.. especially as the next few days approach. Sending you all the strength you need... sounds like you're doing an amazing job of keeping yourself 'together'.. sooo important to keep the upper hand!!!
Bun & Janie - It was soooo fantastic catching up the other day... was so lovely to meet you Bun and my god your kids are just adorable!!! Catherine soooo made me want to have a little girl, she's just gorgeous!!
Hope everyone else is well. AFM - I just have to have a little whinge... sorry, I know this is really petty in the scheme of what everyone else in here is going through... Luke is sooo excited that his Grandma is visiting (my MIL) and so am I, don't get me wrong, she's fantastic but I was really hoping that she'd help out a bit more this visit (I'm just so tired atm and would love a bit of a 'break'). Anyway, Luke was really excited this morning and ran downstairs to see her and she told him pretty much to go away!! She told him not to turn the light on and that Grandma was still sleeping. So I had to get up and 'entertain' him (a little lay in would of been so amazing)!!! So she finally got up at a quarter to 8.. made a cup of tea and said “I’m just going to go lie back in bed and read my book for a while”…. Well ok then. I just don’t really get it and hope that it doesn’t go on like this for the next 10 days. Hopefully she’s just feeling a bit tired from the flight and time difference (even though it’s only a 3 hour flight and only 2 hours time difference now).
Anyway, sorry for the very petty whinge… just had to get that out before it really started getting to me. I wish it was my Mum over here visiting, I miss her so much. Like I said though, I do love my MIL, she's great and I am very lucky to have her here... I just want a little bit of help!!! It's only day one too, so I'm probably being way too harsh... LOL... poor thing hasn't even had a chance to do anything yet... oh god, now I feel so mean!! Oh well, helps to get it off my chest!!!

Morning lovelies,
Michelle - I'll have your babies for at least a couple of hours, just beam 'em down.... I wish I could..... I vote YES to the Ipad, sounds like your Greg liked his gadgets too, so it's now up to you to keep up with the latest toys, he would approve, and he'd buy you 20 of them if he could. I still buy myself little 'gifts from Chris', and on his birthday, I buy the big kids something. In fact Chris is about to buy his boy a new guitar for his birthday. These little things keep Greg alive, so do it, and do it often. Holy god, look at your ticker - are you feeling at all ready hon? Have you got little baby bits and pieces sorted, it's surprising how little newborns need though - couple of full boobies, a few wonder suits, a million nappies and lots of love.... we are all here holding your hand sweety xoxoxo
Spring - that's bl--dy amazing what your DH did, what a guy!!!!! Think I might cut and paste your poste and email to my DH lol...... I can't complain - my 40th last year was made VERY special too..... was preparing to go out for a nice lunch with friends, when I walked into the kitchen and my Dad (from NSW) was standing there. We have had difficult relations the last few years, and so it was incredibly special for him to surprise me, will be one of my fondest memories of him, hence to say we have put the past in the past, and found new and good common ground.
Urgh ladies - I'm off to see a grief counsellor shortly, the GP has put me onto her - have been feeling a lot better with my grief since my trip to Adelaide, so in a way I really don't feel like digging it all up again, still - I will try and milk her for what I can, will let you know if it help in anyway - I'm just a bit speptical of counsellors, so I hope she is a good one.
Sorry for lack of more personals but DD just woke and DH is still asleep (watching too many world cup games) so best attend to little miss.
Love Lee xo
Hi guys,
Spring - happy birthday hun!!! Wow, sounds like your DH is one amazing guy and you have some beautiful friends too, but that is no surprise! You deserve it hun. I also feel like copying your post and forwarding it to my DH as a hint! I am so happy to hear that you had such a wonderful day.
Janie & Kelly - it was sooo lovely to meet you guys! You were just as I imagined (and that is a good thing!). And thank you so much for coming into the city to meet us, I know that was a pain with the kids, but made it so easy for us to get there. Daniel is scrumptious, and Nicholas and Luke were so good playing together that I barely even got to talk to them - such well-behaved little kids! We had a lovely time in Melbourne - we grabbed some lunch and had a stroll around after we left you guys, then I bought DD some cupcakes which made her day, and we went to the zoo on Sat and DD had a ball. kelly, I can understand why you go there a lot, it is a great zoo and there is so much to see. We had to drive home on the same day so couldn't take too long and we didn't see everything. Will have to go back again sometime.
Jayne - only two more days hun. Do you have what you are going to say all planned out? And I am curious to know what your plan is??
Kelly - I am totally with you on your MIL. That is not a petty whinge, we all understand how hard it is when you are pregnant and tired and trying to entertain a toddler. Gees, when my MIL stayed last, I would either send DD up to her room or deposit DS with her (whichever woke up first) and then go back to bed until the other one woke up! She understood how tired I was with a newborn and helped out heaps, she even cooked! I hope you get some more help soon hun. You would think that she would want to spend time with her grandson since she wouldn't see him as often now that you have moved. Maybe tomorrow will be better, I hope so!
mako - I hope you enjoyed your weekend away :)
Michelle - you go and spoil yourself hun, you deserve it. I love what Lee does - giving gifts to the kids and buying something for yourself because he is not here to do it for you. You know that he would want to spoil you. And yes, I would definitely take the kids for you if I was closer! I wish I could offer some more practical help. I do hope you manage to come to Melb when Jayne is over, I will try to be there too so I can meet you.
freya - did you have a good time in the Gold Coast? I am friends with Laura (Rainbow Raver) and saw her fb pics - you are one hot mumma hun!! Love the hair.
Lee - good luck today hun, hope it goes well. I can understand you being sceptical of counsellors after all you have been through. I hope it goes better than you are expecting.
Well, I am gearing up for DH going to the US on Fri for three whole weeks! I am dreading it, and worst of all, he will be taking the laptop with him so I won't even be able to get online much and will be feeling very isolated! I may have to make the study/gym a little more kid friendly so I can keep them entertained while I go online or I will only be able to get online after they are in bed. I need BB and FB for my sanity!!
