Babies Born December 2005 #15

[Beckibee]

Morning ladies. It has been an insane few days around here. Sorry I wasn't around much yesterday, spent most of the day driving my Mum & sister around to look at furniture. My mum moves this weekend and I needed the driving practise. John made me do a reverse parallel park between two cars last night (when it was dark) and it was a'ok. Here's hoping I get asked to do that instead of a reverse park which I hate and suck majorly at.

Miss Madeline is getting ready to cut those top two teeth. The front part of her gum is bulging and white and she's chewing on everything so hard I'm worried she's going to split the gum. Is in bed having a nap right now and howling about how unimpressed she is with my decision on her behalf.

Kate - those pictures are stunning! OMG, I SO want some done like that....Ambah's (mod) sis is a photographer and did our wedding photography. I think I'm going to have to ask her to do some photos like that of Maddy. It's hard to find a photographer who do the nuddy shots tastefully....the black and white is so amazing. Jasmine's eyes look HUGE! Better invest in a shotgun woman, you're going to have to be keeping those boys away before you know it!

Meg - SO hope you get some positive news on the unit today! YAY on Miss Coco rocking and getting ready to go...I reckon she'll be crawling up a storm by this time next week! That was a great night's sleep from Coco...and YAY on the new tooth (and other one coming through). I hope our bubba's top teeth coming through is not going to be the complete demise of boobie-feeding.

Tiggy - the twins are just gorgeous...I can't believe there is a 2kg difference in weight between these two! I truly pray for you that you find the paed today is everything that you're looking for. It's been such a tough ride for you with Ivy's reflux and I don't think it's too much to ask that you have a doctor/paed who listens to you and doesn't treat you like some psycho/overbearing Mummy; even if you DO live in the boonies.

** I wonder whether now that the Belly Belly event in Melbourne for 2006 has been postponed, whether we could all save up to go to the 2007 one? I would love to have the full Dec '05 mummies meet up! **

Dani - WOW....I am very impressed with how you're coping with everything going on in your life. How you're managing a bub, home and working so many hours is beyond me. Do you actually sleep & eat too?! *L* How long til the 5 weeks of training is over and you can hopefully secure a much nicer work timetable? Size 1? Nope, not quite yet. Maddy has long legs but she's still in between a 00-0; depending on the brand. I'm generally buying '0' now because it'll fit her through summer. She's just on 8kgs now I think.

Sarajo - *LOL* @ the comment on the Halloween costume. I thought your costume was so inventive last year and I still have a giggle over the photos! Maybe you and Abby could don skull caps and go as 'Dr Evil and Mini-me' from the Austin Powers movies?! *L* Then you could teach her to do that Dr Evil thing with the pinkie finger. hehe Sorry, no photos of Maddy here...haven't taken any in nearly a month - bad momma! We've been so busy, but John has finally uploaded some video we took of Maddy in the last month so when he's home tonight I'll get him to compress them a little so I can email them to you all!

Renee - Marnie is so gorgeous....what is it with December 2005 babies? We could supply all the baby models a studio could ever want! *L* Maybe we should hi-jack the next Target baby catalogue with our bubbas! hehe So jealous of your girly day out!

Well girls I KNOW I've forgotten people, and I'm really sorry but I'll try and edit later. Have to run and get dressed for another busy day. Thankfully I've done most of the house since breakfast; but the sun is out here (FINALLY) so now I have to hang out about 4 loads of wash before we run out of towels.

Hope you all have a wonderful day with your beautiful children!

EDITED TO ADD: I'm about to run out the door to a driving lesson but I just wanted to let you know I added a folder of photos for August 2006 up on Maddy's yahoo photos website. The link should be on the 'links' page from her website.

*** I hope you like the photos of Maddy in the Canadian cheer-leading outfit Kate!
