Hi all,

How are you all....how was your weekend??

Ours was fairly quiet. Just the usual stuff, grocery shopping, cleaning, bbq at a friends house. They threw DH a little birthday party for his 30th. It was sooo lovely and thoughtful. We couldn't afford to do anything much for either of our 30th birthdays (which are only about 6wks apart). So they threw him a little party. I didn't know anything about it either and we were the last ones there. They did the whole 'surprise' thing and all! He got a footy geurnsey (sp??) and a CD. I must admit I am a little jealous that he has friends that are so thoughtful. I was upset when we got home, but didn't want to spoil his night, he was so happy about it. I don't blame him! I didn't get anything special for my 30th bday (woe is me!!). Mind you I did just have a baby 10days before....
Ok enough with the poor me!
We just went out down the street to get something to make for lunch, and to get some 'aahm' (ham) for Lily. (She loves a big slice of ham, 1/2 a small tin of 4 bean mix, chopped up cucumber and 1/2 a small tin of corn for lunch). She made me so proud, going up and down the stairs by herself! She's so clever!!


Lea, I hope Gabby's reflux is settling again. Poor little monkey. And I hope Nixon is behaving for you too. It's so hard now with two when one is a mischeif maker huh? Lily is sooo mischevious and clever. She has discovered she can climb up the kitchen drawers now and gets up onto the kitchen benchtop. Although beofre she was just climbing up on the dining chairs to get to whatever she wanted. And she know if she waits til I'm feeding Liam, she can do almost anything she wants to cause I won't get up everytime unless she's doing/got something dangerous...
I figured out why my emotions have been sooo out of control too, AF came to visit the other day. I was so hoping it would take longer than this before it came back, though I have been af free for 12mths now....

Niamh, ugh, sorry to hear you've had psoriasis. A friend of mine gets it. It's not nice, especially in the humidity, and nope, stress wouldn't help it either! I hope it's calmed down a bit.
I hear you on losing weight. I just can't seem to do it. I think it's stress. (Stress sucks! It's amazing what it does to your body!) At least with your DH having lost weight, he would be supportive. Half my problem is that DH doesn't help, buying me pastries and stuff for breaky!! Very thoughtful in one way, but not helpful!

Tasha, lucky you only waking once a night. We're waking two or usually three times. He cluster feeds early in the morning, having 2 feeds between about 2-5 then another one at about 6, another at 7.30ish. Which is usually ok cause Lily is awake at 5-5.30ish anyway. Then there's Lily whos awake anywhere from only once to about 5 times on a bad night (like last night!), so we don't see much sleep round here...and I luuuurrrve my sleep, I miss my sleep
I have heard alot of people say girls are quicker than boys, but Liam seems to be about the same as Lil to me at the moment, he's rolling and chatting to himself like she was at this age. She was noisier, but I think that's more a temperament thing, he's more placid than she was. So I don't know if it's true or not...well not in our house yet anyhow!

Anyway, that's it. I hope everyone is well, and hello to those of you I have missed!
