Nelle, don't forget to book into MCHN this week, now you can remember it being in new thread.
River very clever doing all that, scary tho hope he doesn't run off, my brother was one that would get out and wander the streets.
Shell- yeah see if i said yep what ever and went to walk off at kindy she would run off and play!!!
A sleep in does sound nice, if i knew how to sleep in.. just cant really do it anymore.. was hping for someone to cook me a nice breaky but that went out the windw about 30 min ago... grrr men suck sometimes
Thought id pop in and see how youre all doing.
We're doing really well here. We resently moved into a bigger much better house. Has a fireplace which im loving at the moment. And we have a seperate "toy room" for Jesse and Keira so we dont have to have their toys in the lounge room any more. They also have a lovely big yard and Jesse is inlove with his cubby house and sand pit. Both kids had no problems moving which was great. They are just best buddies. They play so well together, have never had a fight and just love each other to bits. I love it.
Things are going really well for me. My medication has helped me so much with my anxiety. Have been getting into cake decorating with my girlfriend. Some of you may have seen my pics on facebook. We're actually going to start a business once we do our course next term. Really looking forward to it. Its something that im really loving doing.
Could not be happier with my life at the moment! Hmmm well maybe if i won lotto..
Meg.. thanks for you message hun. Was nice to hear from you. How are you going with James and TT? Jesse does wees on the potty in the shower and will sit on the toilet at preschool but thats about it. Still not interested. Honestly im not phased. Its too cold atm for me to really pursue it. I think ill just wait until winters past and focus on it more then. Did you DH have any problems with getting the referral? My gf's DH wants to get it but their doc wont give them a referral until hes 35. Hes only 29 atm. Hows James going with Emilia? I have to book Jesse in for his next MCHN check up. Hes going to need to go to speech therapy too as he still has a strong lisp. Good luck with the sleep school.. hope it helps.
Shell.. oh im so sorry to hear about your FIL. Did they come up with a plan for him? My FIL is still battling on. Looks like a little frail old man but hes hanging in there for the time being. Thats lovely of Ash. Hows Ash today? In the past just before Jesse has come down with something, the day before he usually always plays up or is stubborn. I wonder if she just wasnt feeling so great is why she played up?
AnnaT.. Jesse's still in nappies. As i said to meg, im really not phased atm. Hes so not interested. Im going to wait out until Winter is passed to try it out with him.
Re preschool. NSW is a bit different i think. But Jesse will just stay in the day care he goes to until he starts big school. Hes going 1 day a week atm but will put him in 2 days as of next year. He'll be starting big school (kindergarten) in 2012. Hes going to go to our local public school which is next door to his current preschool. Its the best in the area. Both DH and i went to public schools through year 12 so we're happy with the public system. DH grew up in this area so we'd also like to send him to the same high school DH went to.
Helen.. hows life with thie twins hun? I bet youre busy. My gf has twins and i dont know how she does it.. you should be proud of yourself Btw i love your ticker!! Awww poor Eithan. My sister had to have hers out when she was a baby too. Hopefully he wont have to go down that road. Hoping Tallulah catches up soon.
Jodi.. bet the kids will love the Wiggles!
Nelle.. congrats on your new house! How exciting!
Chrissy.. congrats on your kids getting into the agency! Did they say when youll hear about when they will get work?
Maz.. Hope Vy and Mateauz are feeling better soon. How will they fix her over bite if they need to?
Belle.. how have you been hun?
Laurin.. hope you have a nice holiday.
Oooww how exciting ladies. Not long until your meet up!! Cant wait to see the photos. Wish i could have met you all. Maybe one day.. perhaps that day i win lotto
Jesse still very much needs a day sleep and he actually enjoys it. He even asks for one come 1.30pm if hes not in bed already. So we all read a book and both kids go down for their nap. Theyre both great at settling themselves so makes life a bit easier for me.
We'll be having another baby yet.. though DH doesnt want the snip at all. I think he thinks the same Shell, that it will change things. lol. Doesnt bother me. Id love to have 4 kids lol.
Jesse is still loving his preschool and swimming. We changed swim schools he was in as i was so sick of singing the hokey pokey and the wheels on the bus and other baby games. I want him to learn to swim. He learnt more from my in the other pool. So the place we're going to now im not even in the pool and just after 1 week it is so much better. Instructors are so much better also.
Jesse i must admit has been a really good kid since Keira has come along. I think he has alot of his father's traits in him. If you ever have to tell him no or not to do something once and thats it. He doesnt complain. He looooves being a little helper. If theres any job he can do for you he will do it. He and i also have a great bond which i love. He says i love you mummy.. sounds more like "wubboo mummy" and is definately a mummys boy.
Keira on the other hand is very miss independance. She is addicted to baths! As soon as dinners finished she says "bahh bahh" continuously. Then she squeels and carried on out of happiness while youre walking into the bathroom. If you go into the bathroom with her and walk back out.. oh she throws the biggest tanty!!! Throws her head back and shakes her fists. So funny. And she likes to spend most of her day crawling in and out of the bathroom. So i think we have a little fish on our hands.
Well thats about it for me for the moment. Both kids are still sleeping from their nap so think i might go watch a movie of fox.
Hope everyone is well and taking care of yourselfs.
Funny you should mention the Wiggles kel, that's the dvd the girls are watching ATM! They're hooked on it.
So great to hear you're doing well and you've settled in well to your new house. Jesse & Keira sound like Nina & Emily, they love each other to bits. Nina's a very protective big sister, always making sure Emily's alright, feeds her (even when Emily doesn't want it), gets her dummy, gets her bottle, the list goes on!
I absolutely love your cake decorating talent! I see the pics on facebook. You know, ANY TIME you want to come up this way and decorate a cake for one of the girls birthday's, I'd be more than happy to provide a bed for you
ETA: I love your ticker pic Kel.
And a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIAM (sorry, it's a little late Chrissy). I hope you had a wonderful day celebrating his birthday. I know Craig would have celebrating with you all in spirit
Heath won't be getting the snip, ever. For 2 reasons, firstly, he doesn't want to, and secondly he has a medical condition which prevents him for doing so. So even if he did want to one day, he can't. We found out about that when I was pg with Emily. Oh well, we'll just have to pop out a few more kids
Not much happening up this way. Some of you know I won a wardrobe makeover this week A stylist comes in, checks out my wardrobe and gets rid of anything that doesn't suit (which will be everything lol) and takes me a shopping spree and I get $500 worth of clothes!!! I'm stoked, I really need some new clothes.
Hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend so far.

: just the purple rule *pokes tongue out at Kell*
She's due mid-july but I wont be seeing the bub for a long while cause she's living with my &^#% mother (looooooooooong story).
Happy Mothers Day
I got a cooked breakie, a cute card and handprint Rip made at kindy, a box of Roses choccies and a Pandora bracelet. AND Dh is cooking roast beef tonight. Feel very spoilt.
Not good mothers day here, Df not coping about his dad, it hit him when he took him in a wheelchair to the footy friday night so he has been drinking all weekend, his usual way of dealing with things which I think just makes things worse, anyways its just another day for me!
Good to see you all getting spoilt!
Kell- I was wondering how yr FIL was, I always think about him cause they were both diagnosed around same time. Good to see he is still going on, I remember awhile back it didn't sound like he was doing so well. Glad your loving your new house.
Jodi- yay on new wardrobe, lucky you, after each child my bum and hips have spread so need new things!
hey all Hpaay Mothers Day i got a kettle and Breville maker lol but got it yesterday hehehe....and sent back to bed when i got up so i could have breakky in bed
im going home with maz and staying in mooroopna on mon and tues, and heading back to the airport to fly home on tuesday caddie. but i still arrive at the same time, on friday.
well mothers day stared with a bang, with jess and nicole trying to make me breakfast, with t hem screaming at one another as to who was doing what, then buring everything, and me screaming at nicole as she started pushing jessica and screaming at everyone just to cook breaky......oh the love of it all...
Shell.. yeh hes still hanging in there. Has good days and bad days. Forever coughing but i think thats something that he'll never pass being he has lung cancer. Hes still on his cancer tablets and also morphene. Plus steriod tablets as he lost so much weight to build him back up a bit. He the type of man, being an ex cop, that doesnt like to show his pain. But he fighting it pretty well being he was given a year to live february 07. Well hun, hope you just get some time to sit and have a cuppa today.
Jodi.. haha i may take you up on that next time i need a vacation! Jesse is the exact same as Nina. Hes very protective of Keira.. its so nice hey.
For mothers day i got sme shoes, a jacket and a very spiffy kettle. Has different settings on it for whatever type of cuppa youre making, green tea, normal tea, black tea, coffee etc. lol very high tech kettle! Plus breaky in bed with my 2 little darlings and a sleep in until 10am! Woah! I havent slept that long since before i was pregnant with Jesse.
Glad to hear some are havnig a great day.. hope others day pick up very soon
Shell- sorry to hear about your FIL xxxx hope things can get better
Kell- Glad your FIL seems to be doing well for now and yay on the sleep in
Chrissy- sounds like your in for a fun trip to Melb
Caddie- so jealous to the wicked weekend you will be having
Maz- yeah been ok.. had a down patch where things got bad for me, kinda backed away from everyone, but things are picking up and trying to get everything worked out
As for Mothers Day here, ex had the girls til 12 but so i didnt have to wake up alone my 'friend' came and stayed the night and he cooked me breaky too.. which was nice. Then once the girl got home we went to my grandmas for lunch was nice
as for pressie, well i got what i brought for myself which was a Crows supporter T shirt and some slippers. plus Mum got a card for me and made the girls sign it cause she knew ex wouldnt
