Morning girls,

Just poppin in for a quick hi. We about to go into town to get BOTH the girls needles done today. Briley is 18 months today!! Ureal how time goes. Colby is getting her 4 month needles. Lucky Brent is home with me today.

Had a terrible nights sleep lastnight. Briley and Colby both woke up heaps. Thats the first night since we've been home that Colby has woken up like that. I think her gums might be aching. Teeth already????
Briley has been pulling on her ears the last few days so i am going to have the Dr check her ears today.

Not much else to report. Hope you are all well...

Take Care!

Hi Girls,

Trust u are all doing well?? Misty & Kirst, if you're reading, how abt this wild Sydney weather eh? I don't think I've ever been so worried abt being struck by lightning! I'm at home today and oh lord, the apartment is SO MESSY. I'd just die of embarrassment if my MIL pays me a visit the way it is now. There are giant dust bunnies prowling the floor like lions on the savannah heheh. I hear what you guys are saying abt getting DH to share the housework but he's taken on a labourer job right now in and he's so tired when he comes home that I don't have the heart to make him do stuff. I work in an office and its low stress, low activity, so I feel I can pick up more of the slack.

We have a new car. Well sorta. The old broken down one got sent for repairs and in the meantime, we're using my SIL's. I think its going to be a permanent swap as she doesn't need it as badly as we do and the other one will work ok for what she needs to do.

My old high school friend and her DH visited us last weekend. They're TTC and had a turn with Willa (who was screaming her head off, so hey what a good advertisement for motherhood lol).

This Sunday, my fat ginger cat decided to fall ill. It was looking bad so we ran around trying to find a vet that was open. I was not impressed with one that only admitted us if we had an appointment even though it was an emergency and they didn't take credit! WHo has that kind of cash at the vets? Turns out the receptionist was 'Gianna' from Big Brother (few seasons back I think). Almost got my eye poked out by her cleavage, but that's another story. We ended up finding a very nice clinic and admitted our fatty, who had a UTI. Got him back yesterday with a $800 bill but hey what can u do right?

A very happy 4 months to Colby and Xavier! Willa's 16 weeks on Friday so i gotta book her in for her 4 month shots. Anything i should know or is it all the same as last time? Same vaccines from what I can gather.

Speaking of pools and swimming, what r ur bubs wearing in the pool? My apartment pool has strict rules abt babies having to wear 'the correct attire' (whatever that is) when in the water. What's the norm? R there swimming diapers or do u just wear a normal diaper under a wet suit?

Becca- i get bad cramping too and yeah so far so good even though I have got AF back, I haven't noticed any cramps so hopefully it will be the same for you. Period cramps are the worse.

Campari - good to know the ILs and you guys are getting on well. It can be so dicey with ILs you don't know that well lol. Good on you for keeping up with your bf routine. i know I'd be more self conscious and perhaps a little defensive if I had a MIL who was a non bf-er staying with me for an extended period. I'm very jealous of your 24-7 babysitting squad.

Kim - I can only imagine that coaching up to 6 hrs might be tough in addition to everything else u have to manage. Your 30th will be fun. DH's cousin's just had her 30th which was a surprise party. She really was surprised! She had her little boy 2 weeks after I had Willa so I think she was glad the organising was done by someone else in the end.

Oh and I finally posted my birth story. Took me long enough. Link is below:
