    hello
    Kaz youre going f/t and you sound very excited!!! I dont think i'll ever be excited about working again!!!! Dh has just started paying me out of the business, so I have no incentive!!!

    Kel- hope you get some rest tomorrow. Sounds like a good thing for you to go back to work at 3 hrs a shift...i could do that. And its good you have your mum to help with looking after the kids.

    OOps- i cant remember any of the other posts!!! Oh Kel- Olivia had a cold with high temps. She had come in contact with her cousin the week before who had croup. It didnt develop into that, but the dr said it was a bad cold with red ears and throat and she was abs for 5 days. Seamed to have cleared it up. Oh and she hasnt had her needle yet coz shes been sick. I might get it done this Friday or the next one.....not too sure how long to wait after her being sick.

    Me- I had a crap night last night. Couldnt get comfy and I have been getting bad crampy feelings deep in my groin, like the baby is pushing down...even grinding. I actually have to breath through it coz it hurts so much...reminds me of labour!!!! But has only been at night. I was so unsettled and by the time i dozed off, Olivia woke up and dh brought her to bed...gggrrrr, so she bear hugged me all night and kept waking up crying, or hitting me. Ah the joys. Mum had her today, but she didnt have a sleep for her. Instead she fell asleep at the table at 5pm for an hour. I only just got her off to bed at 9pm. Hopefully she will sleep.

    Ok, better go, I am tired and should be sleeping....I wonder where kris is....shes not had the baby yet?

    I'm super-mega-grumpy lady today Didn't sleep well again last night. Ben woke up throughout the night because I'd overdressed him. Once my exhausted brain worked out that he was wearing about 3x as many clothes as me and was sweating, he had a whole glass of milk and went back to sleep. Took my poor, foggy brain ages to figure that out though so I dragged it out far longer than necessary....making me even more tired! Der!!!

    So, I woke up tired, ran late all morning and didn't have time to stop for the hot choccy that I felt like, thought "no worries, I'll make one at work" and after battling the trains and buses in the rain got to work to find out that we were out of chocolate! Not happy! At least I got special treatment on the bus this morning. I found a Syd buses worker and told him I didn't want to battle the students to get on because they'd probably trample me and bub to death so he made a bus stop before the bus-stop, put me on it and then let it go to the bus stop. I felt very special!

    Now I'm here at work feeling sorry for myself and I've decided to take all of Friday off. I was only taking the morning off because of my mw appt but I just can't be bothered spending 4 hrs travelling for three hours work! I still have four days annual leave and 12 days sick leave!!!! Don't know how I managed that, but with less than five weeks left, I'm running out of time to use them up!!!

    Kris, have fun at your party I can't believe Ethan is due in only two weeks?!?!

    Mel, I had one of those shocking nights last week where you just doze off and then....a visit from a little person who wants to play, cuddle, kiss - whatever, as long as it's not sleep. Little buggers.

    Kaz, how cool that cc had an animal nursery come out! Ben loves animals - a little too much at times. Wants to make friends with madly barking German Shepherds and Rotties. A bit of a concern!
    Let me know what you think of the Little Squirt when your DF installs it. At least you got around to buying one, I've been talking about it for a couple of months now and still haven't done it!

    Well I suppose I'd better go do some work....

    Mel- hope your day is a bit better than yesterday. 5 weeks isnt long and you have heaps of sick leave....oooohhh

    Olivia is squealing at in the night garden...so cute

    I have been up since 5am, just couldnt sleep. It was nice to have some me time, even at that time of the morning. Dh and Olivia were in bed til 730 so it was good.
    Today I am off to Big W to put a swing set on layby for xmas. I have to get cousins pressies too, so might do that seeing there is a sale. Almost finished my labour bag...just have the camera and video camera to put in and thats it. Done. I am hoping not to go too early...like next week, coz its cup week here and its always busy. Actually I have something on every day from tuesday all through to Sunday. AAAgggg. So any time after that would be fine!!! Listen to me picking and choosing! Knowing my luck I will go into labour around cup day. Thats what happened with Olivia. A friend of mine from high school...her dads birthday is April fools day and I always used to have a giggle at it...then my baby was born that day...karma, I say!!!!!

    Well, I should get moving, Olivia is dancing around in circles watching the ninky nonk.

    Have a good day

    Oh Mel, you're good. I've banned ITNG in our house! It was driving me insane!!!! The nonsense words were just getting too much for me. Having said that though, last Thursday Ben watched Cars three times. That's after watching it twice each day the three days prior to that! We've put that away now too, I wasn't quite sick of it (Pixar do such a great job!) but I figured I was feeding an addiction

    Hehe on picking your baby's birthday. Good luck with that! I hope you last at least another week and a bit at least to get you past 37 weeks, you don't want to spend any time in NICU if you can help it.

    I'm doing much better today. Had a shocker yesterday afternoon after I was locked out of mum and dad's house and couldn't get in to get my car keys. My phone also died so I had to go down to the shops and call Craig to see where everybody was. Oh and did I mention I'm six and a half months preggas and was BUSTING to go to the loo?!?! I burst into tears on the phone and then continued to cry off and on all the way home when I eventually got in. I guess the sleep deprivation finally got the better of me. Had a good night last night though and it makes all the difference. Knowing I have a three day weekend starting tomorrow definitely helps!

    What a crappy day you had...poor thing. I would have been crying for the rest of the day too!!

    You see, my dh is just as obsessed with ITNG as well...so no stopping it here. He tapes it every day to his computer and we have about a months worth of episodes on hand. We have the wiggles dvd...hot potato...now that drives me nuts, only coz I end up waking up in the middle of the night singing the stupid songs!!!! Olivia loves it though and is another one to keep her entertained. We were at the shops yesterday in the toy section and all I got was...please, please please. OMG I hate toy shopping with her. I managed to get out of there with a wooden puzzel and not the $70 talking iggle piggle!!! AAGGggg Tomorrow she will be at day care, so I have to got to Big W and get some stuff in peace! Oh and tomorrow I will get her needle.

    I just had a nanna nap, so am feeling much better after being awake from 5am...just coz. I walked into Olivias roon and she was asleep and had done a big poo. I managed to change her and keep her asleep. Otherwise it would be another very red bum.

    Hope youre all well
