Happy Birthday Nina!!!! Sounds like she had a lovely day with her cake at daycare!

Chrissy, I hope that today was a beautiful reminder of craigs life.

I sent my KK today too.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

**Nelle** · August 20th, 2008, 08:43 PM

Hope everything went well for you today Chrissy, we're thinking of you and here for you as this continues to sink in.

Hope El Nino's day was great Jodi. And your anniversary.

My house is such a mess and I don't even care. Riv's just undoing whatever I do, pulling washing off clotheshorses (drying doesn't happen outside in this weather), pulling things out of drawers...my energy's completely gone. Might try some vitamins/berocca or something and if that doesn't work I'll get my iron levels checked perhaps.

Hope everyone's going well!

Nelle - I think I have caught your Slurpee addiction!

**shellbell3** · August 20th, 2008, 09:03 PM

Meg- Hope you have place near you then, if you're anything like Nelle you should buy shares in the slurpee company!

Nelle- Yeah try something sounds like you need it! I think 2 kids will drain my energy too, just being preg has totally exhausted me.

Helen- yay I'm glad it arrived, I was hoping it would get there Fri before his birthday. Can't wait to see him in it, I thought was so gorgeous, hope it fits well.

Shar- Congrats on your neice being born.

Well Ash had her first big tanty out at the shops today, was in the toy section looking for present for little boy whos party we're going too on sunday and she started screaming 'truck truck' tears and everything! I just ignored her but my mum being the spoiling grandma she is couldn't cope and bought her some cars instead. I didn't mind too much just said next time mum isn't there Ash better not think I'm gonna give in.

Thanks for the birthday & anniversary wishes. It's been a big day for us all, so off to bed now. But Nina had a fantastic day at kindy for her birthday.

Shar - congratulations to your sil on the safe arrival of her little princess, and congrats to you on becoming an Aunty again!

My niece is called Abigail Mackenzie (Abbie) and is the spitting image of Ambah as a newborn. Amy pointed out her birth date to me 20-08-2008

can't forget that one!!

Chrissy - Thinking of you hun

**Rach75** · August 21st, 2008, 06:37 AM

mum of 3 I was like who the heck is Amy

have a I missed something in my land of lurkdom

but makes sense now

for a baby neice

**Visitor7** · August 21st, 2008, 07:55 AM

Love the name they've chosen!

AF arrived last night

and boy am I feeling it. It's my first AF since August 07. I'm such a cranky biartch, poor Heath.
I'm taking the girls to see Dorothy in concert today. Nina is very excited.

When our bubs were wee little ones, someone burnt a few copies of their lullaby cd and I grabbed one for Nina. Well Nina has broken it, and I want another as I use it for Emily. Can anyone remember who did it?
And another question ... wrapping. I never had to wrap Nina as she hated it. But Emily loves being wrapped to go to sleep. She hates having her arms free. But I want to stop wrapping, how do I do it?

**Beatrix** · August 21st, 2008, 08:10 AM

Jodi- hun you can get a copy of that CD via limewire.. im pretty sure.
oh and poor you with AF... mine is still yet to arrive! prob due to the fact we still bf at least 1-02 times a night.

I am so over this night time feeding!!!

Mumof3girls- congrats.. i love the name makenzie (sorry cant spell and i have some annoying *****s at me)

**Marnikat** · August 21st, 2008, 08:17 AM

Jodi - I have a cd of celtic lullaby's that I can copy and post to you if you want. I still use it for Tiana. (When I can talk her into sleeping in her room anyway). Cant help with the wrapping though sorry, Tiana hated it.

mum3girls · August 21st, 2008, 08:22 AM

Jodi - Maz burnt that CD, I've got it as well. With stopping wrapping, I think you can start by leaving one of her arms out, then another, or try wrapping her very loosely. That Dorothy concert is awesome - we took Ambah and Declan last week and they loved it.

Hope AF eases up soon

**lilima** · August 21st, 2008, 09:51 AM

Jodi - Isecond what Shar has said with the wrapping. It was never really an issue here, as J just stopped wanting to be wrapped. I think it helped that when he was born, we were going into summer.

**Visitor7** · August 21st, 2008, 12:59 PM

meg - I think that's why Nina didn't like being wrapped, because it was hot. But Emily feels the cold. I'll do what Shar has suggested.
I didn't even think of Limewire, I think Heath has that on his computer.
B - I was surprised I didn't get AF back when Emily started sleeping through at 5 weeks. It's a bummer I got it back though. You know the weird thing, I got AF on our wedding day 3 years ago (yes I know, that totally sucked!!) and I got AF yesterday, which was our anniversary!!

Nina decided that she wanted to just run around and play while we were at the Dorothy show. That would have been ok, but there was this cranky staff member there who didn't want the kids running around, or dancing/playing at the front. She insisted they sat on their seat! You try telling a 2 year old to sit down for an hour to watch a Dorothy concert. gggrrrrrr! So I'm absolutely buggered now.

**caddie** · August 22nd, 2008, 08:39 AM

Gee that is silly jodi.When we went to the dorothy concert,millana was allowed to dance at the front. MM it is hard to keep a 2yr old still.Maybe she doesnt have kiddies of her own. I still have the cd maz burnt if you would like it as my girls dont use it now.
Helen did you get my parcel?
My KK arrived but im keeping it for the day! Party pooper i am.
