    Congrats on the new tooth Vic

    well to cut a long story short the whoel service has gone smoothly, It was a lovley service and we are glad made the trek out here regardless of maxing out our credit card we wouldnt have had it any other way. Its a straneg ans wery feeling like soemthing si missing every where we look. And it's feels like just yesterday we were here with gran.

    This morning nanna has ds3 with her and poppato chruch and me and hubbie are using the wahsing machine and quietly looking through grans old belonging. We are here all day as the car we use has been borrowed for the day.

    The day i flew in here my duaghter had her first period, and im not sure how im coping/feeling is probably a better word with that i wish iw as there. I am so scared now like a whole new level has been reached. Im upset and in some type of shock i guess ya can never prepare ya self for that can ya. My gosh she can have babies she just had her 11th birthday. I mean wow.

    She wasnt scared or un educated she was as calm as anything she sent me an email and was all clued in. Thank good ness too as i had already given her the talk 1 year prior and a few in between. The day she got it was also the day they started learning about it in school too. I guess im just sorta feeling like i should have been there and also hoping she is fine and its not painful for her. Her dad has been awesome and they have a great open relationship so she is very comfortable about it with him witch is great.

    i dunno im still processing all of this unsure how im really feeling regarding this. wow i guess happy yes but feeling heavy and strange to.

    i been missng my bb support as thinsg like this i relie heavely on for feedback maybe i shouldnt i dunno but i do.

    Squiddy glad to hear things are going well. for your DD it's a very exciting time for her, shame you can't be there to share it with her.
    Well it's a bit quiet around here :tumbleweeds:
    We had a great night last night, went to see Simon & Garfunkel with the PIL's and that was lovely. My stepmother babysat and she is such a legend, she also did the dishes, tidied up, emptied the dishwasher and I suspect did a vacuum as well.... it was awesome! Even better than that madam actually slept from midnight until about 6.30 am, and then came into our bed and we snoozed until after 8! it was bliss!
    My last week off work this week... I'm still in denial, I'm still hoping it is all a horrible mistake and they're going to call me and say they really don't need me to come back... *sigh* Anyway we're just going to take it one day at a time and if I really can't bear to be away from her I'll quit. But in the meantime... one more week.
    Anyhow hope everyone has a lovely weekend and maybe someone will post soon!

    Hey all

    Welcome Kim!

    Pix - going back to work aint that bad I started back last Monday. Have to work a couple of extra days this week as the manager is on leave but I am finding it fine!
    But yeah I guess if you find it hard then quitting is the way to go!

    Mel - how you going hun? had any scans yet, would love to see pics if you have them

    Rach - how big is E now? I had K weighed and measured at the beginning of this month and he was 12.5kg and 83cm tall

    Oh I dont think I came in to tell all of you - Kye now has his TWO bottom teeth and I think the first top one is close.
    I managed to kind of get my finger in his mouth this morning and could feel a slight bump he's catching up to everyone else at last hehe

    Anyways that's my ramblings ... not alot else to report really - how boring!

    Gotta get ready to go out for my fortnightly lunch with the girls

    Hi All

    My little girls name is Madisyn. She was induced 5 weeks early due to my type 1 diabetes.

    She is now 9.5kg and 78cm long (very tall for her age). Two bottom teeth but that's it. They came through when she was 8 months old. She still isn't crawling. I'd love her to because she gets frustrated being in the same spot.

    She was breastfeed up to a week ago. Little horror just wouldn't stop biting.
    Her sleeps have been a nightmare from 2 weeks old. She would have 6 x 20-40 minute sleeps during the day and wake every 2 hours at night. We went to a sleep clinic twice which didn't help. She is now having 2 x 60 minutes sleeps and a 30 minute one before dinner. She usually sleeps until about 1am without a problem now but then it's a battle from then until about 5am.

    Doctor put her on a dose of Phenergan to see if we could break her sleep cycles. I wasn't very happy about trying it but did for one night. It did nothing at all. Other than that everything is going well.

    I work from home (try) but don't get much done these days.

    I'd love to hear some more of your stories. I can be found on Facebook. My user name is kshanley76.

    Cheers
    Kim
