Storm - I am sure you will be fine taking 2 out, are there any gated playgrounds near you so if Zac does run off he cannot get far?
Jo - not long till Darren's home, you must be excited
Cass - hope the Telstra man has done his magic and you are back with us soon, I hate it when broadband goes slow. How did the lattice buying go?
Tracey - yay for blue, love the scan pictures.
Brooke - lets hope Charli is an Angel this week, and gives her mummy a break
Soph - how did the Baptism go?
Bec - only 9 weeks to maternity leave, where did time go?
Well Maria is slowly getting the hang of walking, 16 steps is her record. Yesterday she had the most fun I have ever seen a child have helping mummy pair daddy's socks, this morning I found 4 pairs hidden in the boot of her ride on car and 2 under the cot.
I had a great weekend cooking, very proud of myself, made salmon patties, potato patties, meatballs, sausage rolls and a banana cake, all in the freezer waiting to be eaten - yum.
After Maria's nap we are going to Reverse Garbage to buy some paints and paper for some fun on the balcony.

Sorry Ladies, just a quick selfish post, all of a sudden last night we were sitting around snacking on BUrger Rings & Mum & Dad popped in for a wine with Dh etc, Indah stodd & walked maybe 10-12steps & then just kept doing it from the table to my Dad, then to Me, my Mum etc!!! It was so funny as she has only done like 4ish steps at a time!! ofcourtse this morning she wouldnt do it, but we are getting there!!!
-
Maria is like that, sone day happy to crawl/cruise everywhere, next day wanting to walk.
-
Hi everyone :)
Louise, your cooking sounds yum! I love your new ticker pic, what a cutie. And LOL at all the hidden socks!
Tracey, woohoo for Indah...WTG!! How exciting!
Brooke, a meet up on 5/3?? I think you'll be a little bit busy that day ;) , but 5/2 would be great. I read your other post...I've been trying to think of some ideas for you. Josh went through a similar phase with his sleeps, but we got through it by co-sleeping (his cot attached to our bed) and I read what you said about co-sleeping not suiting you. Will keep thinking. I hope it's just a passing phase and she is back to her normal self soon...
A big hello to everyone else too. You must all be busy!
Well, I have some good news too...Josh finally took his first steps yesterday! :D He got a little blow up wading pool for Christmas and we got it out for the first time yesterday...he was so excited and distracted by the fact that he was in the pool that he didn't notice that he was standing in the middle of the pool on his own and he took a few steps to his dad! And he has done it a few times since. Yay!
Bye for now,
Bec
-
LOL! Thanks, but no thanks Brooke - February's good! ;)
-
Should be fine by me as well.
-
I'd love to come watch too Brooke!!
5/2 is no good for me, I have my 6 week check up, gunna be a big one too. Maybe next time for me!!
-
It's OK Brooke, you don't have to re organise for me. I think I'd be too scared to venture out on my own. I honestly don't know how I managed with my older 3, I was never home..
-
heheheh Brooke ! 5/2 sounds Great!. my email is cassie_dinneen@hotmail.com. Let us know what we should bring ..ohhhh how fun!
Congrads to Josh and Indah on your walking ...look out mummies and daddies now!
Louise Telstra guy fixed my bigpond..phew. I am working from home today for the first time in 2months which is sooo nice!.
Trace congrads on your little boy!!! fingers crossed his little boy bits stay boy bits!. how exciting to have a little boy!.
Bec I cant believe you only have 9 weeks until you are on Maternity leave...cant wait to catch up and see your lovely BB!..and all of you other pregnant gals!
Hi to everyone else..hope I have not missed yoU!
Had a lovely weekend with my princess. She is walking around all the time singing Twinkle Twinkle little star ( more like De de de de da da da ) but she does the hand movements and then claps and cheers for herself at the end of the song hehe.
Like Louise I did lots of cooking on the weekend which was soooo nice. And also lots of gardening which I loveeeeeeeeeed. I was feeling a bit down and it is amazing how something like gardening can lift your spirit!.
Doing something a little naughty this weekend though ...getting a puppy dog. Dh's parents sold there huge house and are downsizing and decided to give there dog away ( mmmmm ...not happy but lets not go there) . Anyway I said we could not take him as the landlord said no ( we did ask). Anyway ....I am a thinker always doing the right thing....but when they put my rent up ..and I saw Tobys(little foxie) face looking up at me with his greys hairs ( as he is 10yrs old) ....I said stuff it you are coming to live with us!. He loves Kaitlyn and is so good with her so ..plus he is small . So we are getting a doggy on Saturday!. We have put together a kennel for him and got all his food ect ect so we are excited now. Seems silly to wait until we buy a place then go to the pound and get a dog when we could have had Lens family dog...so we are taking a risk. But he is an outside dog and wont damage anything so bugger them!
opps long post ..sorry girls ..heheh
-

Love your cakes Louise, you are so clever!!
Zac is very gentle with her, he puts on this really cute face & says bubby, but sometimes he likes to poke her, we think it's because she doesn't respond to him & he is trying to get her attention, soooooo cute!! "OI!!" He loves to steal her dummy too & yesterday he stole a ful bottle of EBM & drank it, hahahahah .
It feels funny being up so early !! I am doing all my washing coz it's gonna be a scorcher here again today, so I figured I'd get all the yuckky housework done before it gets too hot, mmmmm here I am with a cuppa on BB???? Opps.
-
heheheh Storm ..grab that cuppa and BB time whenever you can, you deserve it!. Zac looks so cute peeking in on Angel in that photo..so cuteeeeeeeee.
Louise I love you cakes! You are so clever!. I find it hard to make something special for us all to eat let alone something that looks like that ! Good on you!.
Brooke and all the gals I am good for the 12/2 as well . Would really love to see you storm . And dont worry once Zac is with all the other kids we can watch him so you will only have to worry about Angel ..and with all of us as clucky as we are you may be left holding no babies at all hehehehe.
Fletch you are a braver woman then I ...camping with your boys! Imagine the trouble the three of them will be getting into together in a few years hehehe.
I took Kaitlyn to the pool after work yesterday as it was soooo hot . She just LOVES the pool. She laughs when her head goes under hehe. We started lessons 2weeks ago as when we buy a house we are hoping(fingers and toes crossed) to get a house with a pool .
ohh better run sorry girls..meeting ! Chat soon.
-
wow it is quiet in here!. How are all you lovely ladies today?.
We had a little bit of a rough night last night as Kaitlyn woke at 2pm screaming and would not let us put her down. I think she may have had a nightmare.Then it took me about an hour to get her to stop playing and fall asleep in our bed..cheeky monkey!.
I was very excited as her Twinkle Twinkle little star song which used to have no words now goes "dadaddada dadada Star"....so very excited as we add star to the list of her words hehehe.
Well no big news today ..just working away . We pick up our new dog tomorrow which is going to be exciting!.
What are all you ladies up to for the weekend?
-
Cass I hope Kaitlyn and you have a better night tonight.
Well DH goes to Tamworth tomorrow morning so I will be on my own for a week or so until Mum and Dad get here for a visit. Hopefully whilst he is away I will be able to get some pictures of Maria framed and on the walls as a surprise for him when he returns, time and a well behaved daughter will see if I get it done.
We went to a friends place yesterday for painting ans a swim in a kiddies pools, but they spent more time painting each other than the paper. Oh yeah Tuesday and yesterday evenings we saw the comet McNaught which is in the sky at sunset towards the setting sun and left a bit, tonight is suppose to be the last good night to see it I think. Angelo took some good pictures of it yesterday.

Hey gals...
Sounds like everyone is going great and you're all well and bubbas are bouncing along!!!
I'm good and my belly is now definatley popped out!! At least people can tell now I'm preggers and not fat!!hehehe
Jack points to my belly and we tell him "bubba". It's so cute, but not when you're out shopping and he's trying to pull my top up!!Lol!!
Storm, glad you're taking so time to relax and have a cuppa!! We all need to do that!
And Angel is just beautiful!! I forgot how small they are!! And so glad Zac is gentle with her... I think Jack will take a bit of teaching!!hehehe
Louise, you're cakes look amazing!! You're so talented! And hope you and Maria have a lovely week 2gether!!
Cass, Jack loves the pool too and actually anything to do with water!! It's so great isn't it!! And Jack woke up the other night too, screaming, which is very odd for him, but went back to sleep after a few mins. I just put his dummy in and a few strokes on the head.. I think he had a nightmare too..
We went to a house warming party last night and Jack had a ball there as they have 3 boys and 1 is 8 days younger than Jack. He ran around with them all and munched on everything!! No wonder he slept till 9.15 this morn and was back in bed at 12.15!! And still sleeping!!
Oh well, better get the washing off the line before it decides to pour!!
-
OOOH anyone with advice on my work situation... LOOK at the work/mat leave thread pls!?? sorry busy!!!
-
Tracey I answered your other thread, good luck with whatever decision you make, it cannot be easy. I have been lucky that my workplace is also cooperative, but I can also work from home.
Well today was the first day without DH here, (he is in Tamworth to work in his family's cafe for country music festival) Maria woke up this morning patted Angelo's pillow and called out Dada as if he was in the other room, broke my heart.
Hope all mums and bubs are well
