Long time no post! I'm all over the place at the moment...just been feeling really tired for some reason...
We're all well though...my tummy's getting huge and a few aches and pains have appeared but not anything too dramatic...
Boys are well!
Have started packing which is exciting - we have 50 days to go!! LOL! I just can't wait to get moved and then I can set up for bubs - I feel like I can't prepare for him at all at the moment...
I'll try and catch up a bit but I've missed soooo much! Oh and for those of you that were worried -no I didn't get stuck in toys at Target! LOL! Although I did have a super huge full trolley and managed to spend a fortune! LOL! Dh asked me the other week what I'd spent and I had to tell him...he wasn't very happy - oh well...LOL! It's going to be so much fun though!
For those of you that are liking "in the night garden" I think it's available at abc stores on dvd...
Disgirl - LOL! Yes we know it's a boy - it's in my ticker - he's going to be named Ethan Michael!
Wow - you were lucky you didnt' get any stretchmarks! I've got super bad ones - so annoyed because I don't usually even get that huge a tummy - and I got them in a different spot with Dylan so I'm expecting to get even more this p/g...
LOL at only 2 af's in the last 2 years...I think I've had maybe 1 since about Jan 2005! LOL!
LOL at planning your holidays! Wow - I'm trying to convince dh to take the kids to wiggles world next year...LOL!
Well - we're obviously having 3 - I would love to go no.4 but so far dh is dead against it...so we shall have to see what happens next year...
Sorry to hear you've all been so sick - how cute of Ben though! Oh no a Ben being sick as well - Dylan threw up last Friday - all his brekky - and then was fine! Luckily I was holding him in the kitchen when we was looking a bit funny so managed to get it all in the basin - lucky because I felt queasy enough at that let alone if I'd had to clean it off him and the floor or carpet or something...
Glad your midwife appt went well!
Good on you for getting involved in all of those activities!!! I'm really hoping to do something like that after bubs is big enough to leave for a couple of hours...I'd love to do a dance class or yoga or pilates or something...something thats a bit for fitness as well as getting out of the house...Only problem is I'm usually not much of a talker to other people - I just keep to myself other than the odd chat...when I was at the gym after I had Dylan I got friendly with a couple of ladies which was nice...every now and then I see one down the shops and have a brief chat...I'd love to get back to the gym but it's so impractical - especially by the time I have 3 babies!! LOL!
How cute of Ben saying his first sentence!! AWwwww...LOL at him smacking his own hand before he doesn something! I'm forever explaining to dh that even though you tell them a million times not to do something the urge to do it is much stronger! He expects them to be little adults sometimes!
Kel - Glad to hear your feeling better - wow - any day now thats for sure! I can't wait to hear an announcement!!! I love Owen as a boys name...that one came up for us but dh wasn't keen...
LOL at Lily being a brat...although I know how hard it can be - Dylans a little terror at the moment - into everythign and chucking major tantrums...although luckily he's only passed out once in the last month or 2...
Geez - isn't it funny how we're all much the same on the friends front - I wonder if thats what brought us all together on BB!! Gosh - what an awful friend to do that to you before you holiday...I don't blame you for not talking to her again - I wouldn't have either!!
Glad your appt went well! I hope it all happens for you soon! It's awful this last bit of time when you're just waiting around for things to happen really!
Jen - Congratulations on selling your house!!! Woohoo!!!! What a relief!! Sounds like you've had a nice celebration as well! Well done!
glad af arrived for you...It will be a much more enjoyable p/g for you if you have your house stuff settled first! (Take it from me - LOL!) It's great that you're feeling more ready now!!
LOL at Beau and his doody - Dylans always at his when he's nappies off...geez - and they never grow out of it - LOL!
Geez Jen - just read a post about you baking a cake - if I'd have read that at the time I probably would have booked a flight and met you for afternoon tea as well - LOL! Now I feel like cake...hehehe.
Yeah at beau not using his dummy - Dylans addicted to his and so is louis still for that matter...we've got get rid of Louis' soon though as he's too big for it now!
Omg Jen - warm weather??? I'm dying for some of that!!! I miss summer so much - I'm so looking forward to our move in spring and the fact that we're moving 15min away from the bay! I've never been so close to water in my life so hopefully we will make the most of it!
Yeah at buying a place up on the central coast!! How nice!! I can understand a little bit about how nervewracking it will be moving...I'm only moving about 40min away from my family/friends etc but I'm really scared that I'll feel a bit lonely etc...also I've lost any babysitters that I have which will be the hardest thing...not that I rely on people all the time but more for when I do activities with the boys individually...not sure how I'll manage that...
Big hugs on Beau's teeth - Ouch! Makes it hard to have a happy baby thats for sure...
Mel - Poor Olivia and her rash...such a hard place around her mouth as well...Yeah at getting some great bargains on maternity clothes - I haven't even been to the shops for me!...Looks like I'm going to have to make do with what I have which isn't much...it's stupid how all the winter stuff goes when it's still freezing cold! I've got a fair bit of summer stuff so hopefully the weather picks up soon! LOL!
Yeah at feeling domesticated - I'm hoping that feeling may return to me with the move...although I did make dh's lunch for tomorrow earlier for the first time in weeks and weeks (or months?) Hmmm I so should invest in a slow cooker...
LOL at being in your pj's early - thats me nearly every night! LOL - get the kids to bed, tidy up and jump into bed with the computer or mags or book or whatever!
Big hugs at trying to decide what you want for yourself! It is hard sometimes...sorry to hear your friend went all strange as well...very weird. Sounds like swimming is a good start! I'm a bit the same but everytime I get into a mode of wanting to do something for myself I'm p/g again and I just keep putting it off until I'm finished breeding...I think I will seriously look forward to the time where I get to go back to study (I want to do primary teaching) and will be working and earning money (and hopefully doing lots of shopping - for myself!) I figure by the time the kids are all at school I'll deserve some serious pampering! LOL! In regards to friends - I have a few close ones but they don't have kids so we're fairly limited in the time we spend iykwim? I have one friend who I call a best friend and we went to pre-school together and we've even lived together when we were out of high school which nearly broke us but after a bit of time apart after that we still talk regularly...I'm waiting for her to have her first baby (she's madly trying - she was the one that had a miscarriage a few months ago) as I'm sure when she's not working we'll see each other a lot more through the week...
If you ever want to catch up please let me know!! I'm more than happy to meet up and have a gasbag!!
Glad you had a good sleep last night! Yeah at Olivia being so ready for bed! Oh I agree - wouldn't it be nice to just come and go as you please! And they really don't mind do they?? I would feel way to guilty for leaving the boys and just heading off but it doesn't seem to enter their heads at all - I really don't think they know the meaning of the word - LOL!
OK - so after all this friends talk I'm seriously thinking that when we're all finished breeding/bfing etc we will have to organise a get together (I'm thinking somewhere mutual for all or perhaps a tropical island) for a weekend! How fun would that be??? Probably wishful thinking but it would be great!!
I feel for all of you so much with the teething dramas...I don't think I've ever given medicine for teething...I just seem to miss it - they have an unsettled night or two and then I might notice a tooth and it clicks but I never think of it at the time - LOL! Dylans only just getting his 6th tooth through though...I think I'm grateful that my boys seem to get them much later and it doesn't bother them as much...Louis has only just got all of his first 20 teeth and he's coming up to 3yo!!
Ok - what an epic - I've been writing in bits and pieces all arvo so I'm sorry if it doesn't make any sense!! LOL!
