Babies Born December 2005 #15

Hey ladies, I can't believe how neglectful I've been of you all since I got my license. I haven't exactly been galivating around Brisbane; just running around helping various members of my family with errands like moving my Mum into her new house etc.

Tomorrow morning I'm off to pick my sister & niece up, then we're off to the gym for their 'Body Attack' class (tai-chi combined with kickboxing and a bit of karate I think *L*). Mum will meet us back at my place and then we're off to the coast to stay overnight at Seaworld Nara Resort. Can't wait to take Maddy to SeaWorld on the Saturday because she loves fish. *L*

First of all, Christie I am so sorry we didn't get the chance to catch up while you were on holidays! I SMSed you, but must have the wrong number because I never heard back from you. Hope you enjoyed your holidays regardless and that you're taking care of yourself. Can't believe you're going to be a Mummy again soon! EEekkk!

Renee, so glad you love it here! :) I hear you on the roll-over feed; although with Maddy it's more like 8-9pm and there is often a 1am and 4am feed too. *roll eyes* Gross on the cauliflower soup, don't blame you at all for vomiting when you opened the container! Hope you have a fantastic time on your baby-free night!

Meg, I'm so sorry you're having such a rough trot. The way those people are treating you (ie. the ones supposedly interested in buying your flat AND the nosy, vicious natured old fogies that live around you) is nothing short of despicable. Hope you have tons of fun at Jamie Oliver for your birthday.... SOOOO jealous, would love to see him live. He seems like such a fantastic bloke and I love what he has done to try and get underprivilleged kids into the workforce. Hope you weren't too affected by the rain? We saw footage on the news tonight and they said some parts of Sydney got like 10cms of rain?!

Melly - *LMAO* I got the best mental image of Logan with chocolate cake smeared all over his face. I would stress too much if he's still not all that interested in solids...Maddy goes through up and down times, especially when she's teething. Well done Master Logan at being able to stand unaided...what a clever little man you are. How are the college/uni classes going!?

Tiff - another to whom I send big huge hugs!!! {{{{{{{{XXXX}}}}}}}}} When will it ever stop....those poor little kidlets have spent more time struck down than they've been healthy. You & David must just be at your wits end with how to try and get them healthy! :( Please remember to feel free to vent about anything, anytime ok? Definately thinking of you and sending healing vibes the twin's way. How are the other kiddos doing?

Miss Maddy is calming negotiating steps now, she makes this London Bridge shape, walks her feet in towards her hands and then lifts her knees. Totally the hard way, but it's so hilarious to watch. She has now learnt to say 'bye bye' and wave at the same time...totally gorgeous. Oh, and she says 'up' and 'boo' now too.

My own good news is that Westlife have confirmed their new tour dates for the end of February 2007. This means that barring disaster, I should be able to go to Brisbane AND Sydney because it's likely I'll have moved by then. Plus, I have a friend off the Westlife forums who has a spare ticket in the 7th row smack in the middle in Sydney which she's offered to sell to me! :)

Ok, last piece of news was what happened yesterday. Dropped by a friend's place, opened up the back door to get Maddy out and saw a car coming. Closed the door...after I'd turned the locks on and thrown my keys on the backseat instead of my pocket. I have never felt a more gut wrenching experience in my life. Luckily I'd parked across the road from my friend in the shade. Her husband tried to break into the car while I called RACQ. They had someone out to the house in less than 10 minutes and took under a minute to open it up so I could get my sweaty, screaming child out of the back. I never want to feel the way I did EVER again. :(

I did a huge post before and it didn't go through. SO ANNOYED. Basically caught up with everyone . Wont bother again.
congrats on the bubba's who are standing and getting teeth!!
coco has 4 teeth now and is almost about to crawl.
have a great day xoxoxo

Im beginning to worry about my belly buddies!! Getting very boring in here! Think I'll take some time off, will be back next week! xo

Awww Meg, hope you're not away too long! Sorry I haven't been on, been away for part of the weekend with my Mum & sister. SeaWorld was loads of fun today...Maddy had a ball looking at the sharks & fish at Shark Bay; and I took her on a couple of the kiddy rides.

Soooooo tired. *L* It's 10pm and I really need a good night's sleep tonight. Maddy is still sick with phlegm and she coughed so much last night she threw up all over me THREE times trying to get the phlegm up. :(

Nice, Bec!
I hope Maddy feels better soon.

Meg, don't stay away too long - you're the life of the party!!!! We'll miss you.

I haven't got alot to report on. Noah has cut two more teeth. Ivy is finally rolling. She has been put on a new formula by our new paed and it has made a huge difference. ( I ove the new paed - did I tell you about him?) She's had a middle ear infection though and a cold but alot happier. No more tummy pains. She still vomits like a drunk on Saturday night but there is no more cranky baby.
Today, she slept so well and it was raining, so I couldn't do the washing. I wandered around the house a bit lost. I didn't have to rock her or try to soothe her poor little tummy.
What else? Ummm, nup, can't think of anything else.

Hi Ladies,
Just letting you know I am still around I have been sick all weekend with food poisioning, that's what I get for eating left over pizza.
Hopfully will be back tonight for personals:)

dani, yuk on the food poisining, you poor thing! but yay on the possibility of a tooth for Jett, has it come through yet?

Meg, Sorry I haven't been on much, having trouble loading this thread for some reason, it's taken me a few days just to be able to view it! Congrats on Coco's 4 teeth and her beginning to crawl! What a smart little girl.

Beck Glad you had a good time at seaworld. I hope Maddy feels better soon. Uni is going ok, I feel a little swamped and have had a few stressful weeks in regards to ex going through my email account and bothering me a lot, so have not been as motivated as I should be. I got a distinction & credit for last 2 assignment though so I guess I'm not doing too badly.

Tiggy Good to hear things are gettng a little better and you've found a paed you like.

Logan is still a little sick, has a cough and constant snotty/runny nose. As of yesterday afteroon he has conjunctivitus (sp?). Apparently it's a "very aggressive and extremely contagious" strain that is going around, I think that is what the doc said. Yuk, it looks so gross.

Sorry about the post, logan is on my lap singng a sad song and wriggling around.. well more like humming or moaning, but mum calls it singing.

Sorry it has been sooo long since I have been on! I have been a busy bee! Abby is crawling all around and pulling herself up on EVERYTHING and she stood without help for a good 5 seconds today! I think she will be walking before Halloween! No more teeth here yet, just the 2 bottom, but I think they are on their way! The neighbor put her hair in pigtails the other day, OMG it was so cute! I took pics and will probably post them tomorrow!

Melly - good job in school! I hope Logan feels better soon! Love the new ticker pic!

Awe Dani Im sorry!! How did you get that? How is work going? Did you have to call off today?

Tiggy Yay on Ivy's progression and yay on Noah's tooth! Woohoo!

Beck Maddy is so smart! How cute that she says and waves bye bye! Abby has gone backwards from saying, Dada mama and hi to just dada dada dada and an occasional hi or hello. Oh well. I still cant get her to wave! She does cruise though! Sorry about the threw up! lol!

Meg! Poor lonely girl! I feel so bad, I should have checked in more! Yay on Coco almost crawling! Once they start there is no stoppin them! lol! How was your mums party?

Renee how fun to teach 1st grade! So do all teacher there move up with their students? Abbys sleep schedule is bedtime after 8:30 feeding wake up at 7:30, nap at 8:30 nap at 12:30 and nap at 5:00 or so. My baby sleeps plenty! I think the 5:00 nap will be the first to go!

Everyone else I hope you are all well!

Anyone heard from Leanne?

Have a great one!

Hello everyone!! Dont worry about me, I amuse myself on the rest of belly belly, it's just been one of those weeks for us. Since sunday 9 days ago, I've had sick kids. Tilly is on her 5th day with a temp and has tonsilitis .The only thing for me to do is go on computer (inbetween amusing and feeding two totally bored children)!!
Coco still not crawling! close to though. She did another poo on the carpet...so gross!
Sarajo, my mums party is on sept 23, Im looking forward to it although it will be hard work. I think my sister and I will be the waitresses not to mention making all the food etc.
Anyway, hope everyone's doing well.
Dani, so hope you're better you poor thing xoox

Hey lovely ladies! Sorry I've been AWOL as usual, it's been insane since I got my license & joined the gym. Have managed to get my sister to sign up as well so I've been treking around, picking her up and testing out gym classes. OMG, the class they call 'Body Combat'...they may as well call 'Body Insane Regimental Slave Labour' class. *LOL* Neither my sister nor I could lift our arms at all the next day...it's all about learning to box/kickbox etc all to high energy music.

Miss Madeline is having a nap now which I'm very grateful for. It's still 'Snot City' here and I feel really bad for her as she's still had a couple of spews thanks to gagging. She had a great night's sleep on Saturday night but I should have known better than to hope for another one on Sunday night. Last night wasn't too bad although she came back to bed with us about 11pm and then we slept solidly until almost 4am when she went back to her own bed for a couple of hours.

Meg - glad to see you back hon. Any more news on the unit? Those people should be whipped for getting your hopes up with their 'we want a quick settlement' blurb....:angry: Sorry to hear that the kiddies have been ill, that nasty fever & tonsilitis seems to be going around at the moment. John is going back down to Sydney for a day next month, wish I could afford to go too and visit you all. Oh well, hopefully in November we'll know for sure when we're moving and I can do a trip down there to visit with you guys and to do some house seeking. :)

Sarajo - you SO have it made with a great little sleeper there! hehehe Awwwww....@ the piggytails, they sound so cute! Can't wait to see the photos of her. WTG on the crawling and getting into everything...have you baby proofed yet? Haven't heard from Leanne but then I've been slack and I was supposed to call/SMS her. How's the fitness going?

Melly - WELL DONE on your marks!!!! :) That is so awesome hon, you are doing so well especially given the living situation at the moment. Are you planning to stay on at your Mum's place for a while? I can't believe that your ex-DF is giving you a hard time and going through your private emails and such. Hope you've changed your passwords! Ooohhh, I hear you on the conjunctivitis... soooo gross and not much fun to be constantly cleaning their eyes is it? Do you just use makeup pads with warm water to clean Logan's eyes?

Dani - Big hugs {{{{{XXXXX}}}}}}}, so sorry to hear that you've had food poisoning!!! Are you feeling better now? Hope that DH & Jett didn't get sick as well on you. How are they doing at the moment?

Tiggy - YAYYYY :confetti: on the new paed...it FINALLY sounds like you're getting somewhere with poor little Ivy. So thrilled for you all, it's about time that the sickness monster cleared out of your house. WTG Miss Ivy on rolling and to Master Noah on the new teeth! How are YOU doing Tiff? Sounds like those lovely children of yours are certainly keeping you busy.

HUGE HUGS & hellos also to Renee, Leanne, Rach (where are you Rach!? - haven't seen you in ages), Christie, Clare & Sami as well! Oh, and our honorary December girl (who squeaked it in by a few days! hehe) - Jillian!!!

Beck, it's so awesome that you're doing the gym so often, I am envious!! How are you feeling with it all (apart from muscle soreness!!)?
I hope Maddy continues to sleep well for you! Makes such a difference! I so hope you guys move here, we'd have heaps of fun. Maybe I'd have to join a gym so you could encourage me to go!!
Still don't know about sale. Cut off is friday...
Sarajo, looking forward to seeing the piggy pics of Abby, so cute. tilly is dying to do coco's hair in pigtails!!
Mel, that's so awesome how well you're doing at uni. I think you're going to do really well. Pity the ex is being a ****, typical guy for you!!
Tiggy, it's great news you found a good paed, hope Ivy is getting better and better.
better run, tilly is getting a bit stroppy again, happens when the medicine starts to wear off.
hope everyone sleeps really reallly well (has been awful here having sick tilly in our room. Her nose is so blocked it's like a huge man snoring, Im suffering severe sleep deprivation, looking forward to moving!!) xo

Me again!! Sarajo, LOVE the pics of Abby!!Her hair looks gorgeous, and she has such beautiufl blue eyes!! It is really amazing how different babies are to each other. She is a month younger than coco , but coco could NOT stand like Abby does at all!! She can with two hands holding play pen, but not a sofa or her cot or anything!! Also Abby looks so grown up!! I like it though, it's nice how they all develop differently!!By no means am I worried about coco being slower, she's going at a perfect rate, but I love to see the bubs that can do so much!!
Well we had a fabbo night. Coco slept right through, and tilly slept until 5am which is awesome considering. It's the first morning in 6 days tilly has woken with no temp. YEY YEYE YEY...it begins to worry me after so long.
anyway, today 4 of my mothers group are throwing me a bday lunch, mum is minding tilly and I'll take coco, the poor thing needs to get out. also her friends will be there!
Then tomorrow Im going to Jamie Oliver!! How exciting. Then friday (my bday) Im meant to be having lunch with two school friends and then on sat Im getting my hair done (some blonde streaks, decided i prefer a bit of blonde) and going to my friends 30th (we were best friends for years andhave same bday. Haven't talked for a while, but we're working on rebuilding our friendship).
anyway, it will be so nice to be busy as the last 9 days have been absolutely boring.
Also the suns meant to come out today (it has rained the entire 9 days we've been sick....). Hope everyone has a great day
xoxoxox

Hey Meg,
So glad that Tilly is on the mend and that you got some sleep!
You sound as though your birthday week is going to be full of lots of good things! If I don't get a chance in the next few days... Happy birthday for Friday!
Mine is coming quickly too. I'm feeling particularly old this year.
Anyhow, hope that you have a nice time at MG.
We are hanging about home today as the dog groomers are coming to clip our two very matted maltese.
They say the sun is coming but it is still very overcast here. I am so sick of the rain, even though we need it.
Hoping for some sun and wind so that I can get some washing dry...my backyard is currently flooded and the farm at the end of the road is no longer a farm, it's a lake with various waterfoul swimming around...I hope the cows found higher ground!

Thanks Meg! I had fun taking those pics and doing her hair! Abby is going to be walking sooooon! She is getting braver and braver, and is starting to just let go of what she is holding! Last week she could not pull herself up, it just happens so all of a sudden. Anyway, YaY for healthy kids! I am so glad they are feeling better! So your birthday is Friday? Happy birthday early! Have a great birthday week!! :)

Tiff Have I told you I LOVE the ticker pic! Your twinnies are sooo adorable! So when is your birthday? I hope the cows found higher ground too! I am also glad your house isnt flooded...is it?

Have a great day! :)

AWWW, thanks Sara, Abby is gorgeous too!
My Lily was running when she was 10 months old! They all develop so differently! You won't know yourself when she is walking.

Our house isn't flooded, just our yard.

My birthday is 29th September.

Wow you certainly have a lot to catch up on when you haven't logged on for a while. I thought I would be able to write a long thread but my little sausage dog Sav is barking like a lunatic! Anyway will hopefully be able to write a little.
I took Marnie to the doctor's yesterday even though I thought she was on the mend. The doctor could not believe the previous doctor had not prescribed antibiotics in the first place. He told me the risk of pneumonia and put her straight on them. Oh dear - what a great mother I am - NOT! Felt terrible but she just kept smiling. She was terrified of the doctor (He is Sri Lankan) and cried big sad tears. Had to laugh!
Wow Beck you big fitness junkie! We only have 3 fitness classes a week here and two of them I can't make because of netball and the other is on David's Poker night (can not wait till this is over!) But now they have one on Friday mornings which I am really looking forward to because David isn't working on Friday. You must be feeling great!
No Sarah - teachers here don't move on with their class (which is sometimes a good thing!) I am only teaching casually except for my permanent day on Monday where I work with three different classes. Abby's photos are gorgeous.
I am glad you did not stay away long Meg. I hope you have a great birthday. I was hungover for mine! I am starting to sound like an alcoholic .... I'm with you on the crawling thing - I think it will be any day.
I can't stand it the dog is still barking and if he wakes Marnie up I think the RSPCA might have to visit! There is a loose dog in my front yard - who I might add is 10 times the size of Sav and would kill him in a minute!
Have a great day - sorry I couldn't message everyone but my mind goes blank once I start to type.

Hello Ladies,
OMG, my little boy has a tooth in his little mouth. I was over the moon when I found it the other day. I can't stop feeling it. :p
I was meaning to ask the other day does anyone else's babies sleep on a pillow? Jett seems to sleep better when he is on one.:confused: I have no idea if it is okay for them this young or not.
Sarajo - I love the pictures of Abby. Ben has been home with Gastro and he was looking at them with me, he thinks she is so cute. I love the pig tails, they are so sweet.
Renee - What is it with dogs barking when the bubs are down for a nap. My dogs don't bark the whole time Jett is awake and when he goes down they start. I drives me mad.:angry:
Glad to hear that Marnie is getting better. I wouldn't worry to much. I know/think that Jett needs sometimes when he has been sick for weeks but my doctor dosn't ever give them to me. I think they just want them to but up an imune system, Hello sometime they are to sick to do that!!!
Hope she is feeling better really soon.
Meg - I hope you have a great birthday on Friday!! Have a great time at Mother's group.
Hey Tiff:hello: Hope all is going great with you, tried to catch you the other day on MSN but we musn't have been around at the same time.
Anyway I am off to bed now need as much shut eye as I can get.

YAy for Jett's first tooth!! Woohoo! Abby doesnt use a pillow, and I would not suggest it for a new born, but I think it is safer now that Jett is almost 9 months old!

Renee I hope that big mean dog leaves Sav alone! I'm glad they got Marnie on antibiotics! I hate it when doctors have differing opinions! It makes me not want to trust any of em!

Tiff I am so not ready for her to walk yet! I dont know what I am going to do! She stood up all by herself only holding on to a shoelace the other day. I think it will be anyday when she really starts balancing! Yikes!

I have somewhat baby-proofed my house, but there is still so much to do! I bought a superyard last week, and it is WONDERFUL! I would suggest it to all of you! It is so nice and I put it in a half circle thing and use the couch as the other wall of it so it gives Abby so much room to play! She pulls herself up on in and cruises it! lol! It really lets me get some things done around the house without worrying about her every second! superyard_pic

I just found out my friend is having a girl and I am going to do her baby shower for her! Woohoo! Oh and my cousin is having a boy! I will find out what my sil is having in 2 weeks! They are all due in FEB!

You all have a great day!

Dani I don't use a pillow, I didnt' with tilly until she was 4. Coco definitely doesn't stay still enough for a pillow. Just as long as he knows to move his head if hes' face down (coco loves sleeping face down, so pillow not great idea for her I dont think).
Sarajo, that superyard looks awesome, unfortunately it would be the size of our unit. Poor coco just has a small playpen!!
We have decided that if we don't sell (and it's highly unlikely we will) we will stay in the unit. Pretty depressing but just a bit less depressing than living with inlaws indefinitely, just don't think I could do it.
Off to Jamie Oliver today, will be back on later xoox

Meg have a blast!!!

Meg, how was your birthday lunch with your MG? Sorry to hear you're probably going to be stuck in that tiny unit for a while yet, but perhaps it is going to be better than staying with the in-laws after what you've told me about them. Hopefully that gorgeous pair of girls you & Tim have will stay healthy and it'll make it easier for you. SOOO jealous you're off to Jamie Oliver today. I would love to go and see his show, I just can't afford it....what a lovely birthday present for you from your friend! (I have a few Jamie Oliver daydreams, he's a bit of a spunk in my opinion; and who doesn't love a cook?! hehe)

Dani, YAYYYY for little Jett's first tooth! :) Way to go little guy! We don't have a pillow yet for Maddy; but she does sleep on a pillow in our bed except it's her whole body. I'm not sure the experts recommend it until well after 1 year old and closer to 2 years; but if he sleeps still and he doesn't roll around, it really is about what you & your husband are comfortable with! How's Ben feeling? Hope the gastro clears out soon for you guys.

Sarajo, LOVE LOVE LOVE the photos of little Abby with piggytails. She is SO adorable, and I'm so jealous. Maddy has about enough hair to hold some tiny little hairclips but not even close to have enough to hold elastics. So you're big fans of footy over there? hehe I'm just guessing that's a gridiron team you follow? YAY about all of the babies arriving in February next year...I can't help but think 'wow, that'll be hot to be heavily pregnant over Christmas', but then I realised that's the end of your winter. Sort of like having a baby in August over here.

Renee - awwww, that's so rough that you 'should' have had Marnie on antibiotics because of the risk of. I'm glad the doctor didnt try and make you feel bad, it's not like you chose not to give it to her, the other doctor didnt even mention it to you! Grrrrr...hope your little princess is feeling better soon!

Tiff - eek about your yard being flooded; very relieved to hear that your house is fine however. The last thing you need on top of kids that are recovering from being ill, is a damp, uninhabitable house! Hope you get really spoiled for your birthday this year...you certainly deserve it mam! :)

Nothing much exciting happening here at the moment. Maddy is feeling better so she is full of smiles, just a little phlegm left now. Very relieved. Thinking about going to the gym this morning, we haven't been this week. Maddy was too sick earlier in the week and yesterday I had to go help my sister with a lice outbreak. Poor thing. Her daughter has gotten a third bout of lice in 2 MONTHS because this same parent at the childcare keeps bringing their child in saying they can't get the eggs out of the little girl's hair. Rude. We're off to Indian tomorrow night for dinner; courtesy of John's work which is pretty nice! *L*

Hey Dani! YAY for Jett's toothy!!!!! I bet you are one proud Mummy!!!

Sorry about MSN. Sometimes my kids log on and don't turn MSN off.

I am around, battling the black dog alot these days. Westmead hospital has a memorial every year for babies who have died in the NICU and in paeds. We went last year and it was so sad. Anyway, an invitation arrived in the mail on Tuesday and has sent me into a real spin. I miss William everyday. All my emotions are all mixed up because I feel so lucky having Ivy and Noah but I want Will too. A friend asked me the other day if I felt guilty for replacing William so quickly! I cried so hard that day! It was never about replacing him. It was that the longing to have a baby was still so strong, after he died. People find it hard to undetstand, I guess.
Anyhow, enough of that ( shakes off bad mood)

I'm thinking of going into the shops today insearch of mozzie nets. After the rain, they are everywhere and of course my allergic babies have swollen right up where they have been bitten.

Meg, so sorry to hear that the sale might not happen. That is so wrong but can understand you wanting to have your own space, rather than the in laws. hugs.

Sara, omg - a shoelace! I think you are right. I think it won't be long at all.

Bec, yay at the classes! I don't know how you do it! Maddy sounds so cute and cheeky. Read about her in the cute things thread.

Hi Renee! Know what you mean about dogs barking when babies are sleeping! There must be something in the air, although, my dogs wouldbark at a blade of grass these days.

Awe Tiff That was a really insensitive thing for your friend to say. Of course the twins arent a replacement. How hard it must be for you having lost Will. I think you have so much courage and you are such a strong mummy. Are you going to that thing at the hospital again this year? I bet there are a lot of tears there, and a lot of support!

Beck I am happy Abby can do pigtails now, but barretts are another story. Her hair is long enough, but too smooth and they fall right out! Then of course they go right in the mouth, so they are out! Im so happy Maddy is feeling better! She is such a cutie pie!

Meg have fun at Jamie Oliver! I really dont know who that is...I know I am so sheltered! lol! Ahhh, I just looked and he is a chef! How fun! I hope you get to sample some of his finest! Have fun! Maybe he'll sing happy birthday to you! :)

Tiggy that's unfortunate that your friend said that, she obviously doesn't understand. I hope you're feeling happier now. I would probably look at it as though Will sent the twins to you (I tend to see things like that).
Sarajo, Jamie has a few tv shows on in Australia and UK, he's really entertaining as well as cooks delish food and looks HOT...(like beck said, have had my own share of daydreams)!! Imagine the whole package, good looking, funny, AND a great cook!! Tims got two out of three, his cooking only stretches to mince dishes!!!
I had a lovely lunch yesterday thanks Beck. one of the mums made thai chicken curry and another made beetroot/choc muffins for dessert...SO divine!! I was spoilt and also got a few prezzies!!
Mums paying for me to get my hair done on saturday. Im getting blonde streaks!!!!!!!! Im sick of the dark already!!!Just need some blonde in my hair!!
have a good one everyone, I really must go and get some chores done now!!
ps we're going to yum cha before Jamie, my friend just rang to suggest that!! She knows I dont' need any persuasion for YUM CHA!! oxoxoox
lxoxoxo

ps just added 4 pics, the stunned mullet look!! xo

Wow her eyes are so blue! Gorgeous!

Tiff, I am so sorry about what your friend said. I'm sure she didn't mean it the way it came out; or at very least didn't mean it to be so rude, but that must have really hurt you. Ivy and Noah will never replace William for your family; they are their own little souls and I'm sure William was watching over them and making sure they got to you safely! {{{{{{hugs}}}}}}

Sarajo - *L* @ the barrettes. I put two little pink sparkly clips in Maddy's hair this morning but they too slip out fairly quickly. Have to keep an eye on them so she doesn't stick them straight in her mouth. Love the new piccy you have in your ticker - she is such a pretty little thing!

Meg, so glad you enjoyed your lunch yesterday - after everything you've been through lately in particular with the flat, you deserve to be spoiled. No better reason than a birthday. YUM CHA!!!!! YAYYYY....I am so addicted now and it's all your fault Meg! hehe I'm going there for my birthday in December I've decided so we'll see if it's as good as the one we went to in North Sydney. Wave at Jamie for me today! :) His teeth aren't crash hot but I think he's just gorgeous. Plus, I love the work he's done in the school cafeterias in England, and with the underprivelleged kids to staff Fifteen. I kinda wish I was eligible for the Aussie version; I'd like to get into the food industry and what better way than to learn from Jamie & Toby!?

Speaking of Toby...I am SOOOO bummed by the result of Rock Star: Supernova. NOT HAPPY JAN!!!! Hope I haven't spoiled it for anyone saying that, but I honestly think they've picked the wrong one to lead the band. Out of the final four, the ONLY one I didn't want to win actually got the position. *sigh*

Becka - i am so with you on Jamie's teeth lol!

Hi guys!
Jamie was great! We were up the top, so not the closest view, but loads of fun, such a great entertainer!! Yes his teeth aren't the best, nor the lisp, but he's pretty cute. made cuter by his passion for cooking!! He did some great food, alot of it do-able which is nice, i am hoping to try one or two things (just have to remember ingredients). Yum cha first was divine and it was really weird to be out with a friend and no children!! I've been out at night a few times without kids, but during the day seeing a show was really weird!! (but a good weird).
My back is playing up so looks like Im spending some of my bday at the chiro (takes an hour each way to get there). Not so happy about it, but need the treatment. Will be having lunch with friends first (suggested yum cha but they dont' really know yum cha, so will prob just do a cafe).
im so absolutely exhausted now, hoping to be in bed by about 8pm latest!!
hope everyone is doing well xoxo

:happybirthday:
HAPPY
BIRTHDAY
MEG!!!
:happybirthday:
:happyforyou:

YAYYYYYYYYY!!!! PARTYTIME!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEG!!!!!!!

Hope you have a fantastic day and get spoiled rotten.... (or I'm coming down to talk to that hubby of yours!!!)

:dance: :nana: :confetti: :happybirthday:

Thank you lovely friends!! What anice way to start the day!!
As my main present was the digital SLR camera (or so we're saying) Tim got me a 1/2 hour massage up the road, which is just what I need. So that was nice. (and on your orders Beck, I have just asked tim to make me a coffee. ...he's got to spoil me, so Im going to make the most of it)!! Tilly and mum went shopping yesterday and tilly got me some absolutely gorgeous earrings, seriously one of the nicest I've ever seen!! My mum is sending me to get my hair done tomorrow (and she took me shopping last month so I got new dress and tops)!! my dad gave me a watch a few months ago very early!! (he'd been os, and I needed a watch)!! So I've already been really spoilt!!
Not to mention Jamie Oliver yesterday!!
And to make it better, coco did a full night sleep. I was also in bed at 7.15pm last night, was sooo tired!! I woke up for an hour or so at 3am (honestly I don't need kids to be up at night) but all up think I slept quite a bit.
Have a great day everyone and hope you all had a good sleep. It's so exciting to see the sun outside!!
xoxox

Happy Birthday Meg!!! :hug:

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Thank you Jillian!!! The sleeping is not going so well this morn!! I think she knows it's a nice day and wants to get out and about!! Generally in the morning she's taking alot longer to get to sleep now. As long as she's happy though, I don't care!!
xoxo

Happy Birthday Meg!
I hope you had a good day and your back is feeling better

Was all set for the chiro this arvo and I had a flat tyre...ggggrrr. so didn't get to chiro and Im suffering for it.
had a lovely bday dinner at mums. My sister gave me a gorgeous painting that she painted! My brother got me a lovely bunch of wildflowers, mum gave me a book, pen, money etc and dad got me (and he does this so well) a gorgeous dress and jacket! Seriously he's gotten me some of my fav clothes including my current bikini!! amazing, don't know where he got the talent. We decided he must just shop at really expensive shops that only sell nice things!
anyway, lovely day, just having trouble settling an overtired coco. Tim is trying to pat her off.
hope everyone sleeps really well, I'll be heading to bed any minute xoxoxo

Sounds like you had a lovely birthday Meg! :) I hope it continues and you get great sleep tonight!

It sounds like you had a great day Meg! Yay for you being able to fit into a bikini! Woohoo!
Marnie and I went to our first mother's group yesterday. It was excellent and great to meet so many mums. Four of us continued the meeting with lunch at this new yummy salad bar that has recently opened. We were out for at least four hours. Marnie was very tired afterwards and popped off to bed very easily.
I tried to post on Thursday and it didn't work so my big long thread was gone.
Oh well.
Enjoy this beautiful weather!

:happybirthday: Meg!
Omg Im so sorry I missed it yesterday! Sounds like you had a wonderful day though.

I have had so much happen in the past 2 weeks Im so sorry I have been so absent. Ive jumped on every now and then but I have not had time to post.

I dont think I will ever catch up on what I have missed but as of Tuesday next week I should be on more often.

Jasmine is going so well. It kind of freaks me out that she stands so much! Weve had a few falls, but nothing too much. Doesnt matter what it is, as long as there is something in her hands (like last night was a straw) she can stand. She can take steps but only if she is standing on something thats moving. Like her walker thingy or even her highchair. Scary! Still no more teeth, but I think the rest come up after 12 months is that right? I was reading it somewhere. Were going through a huge separation anxiety stage. If she realises Im out of the room, the biggest high pitched scream comes out of her, and she takes off looking for me. If Im in the toilet, I can hear the scream and then "slap slap slap" her hands on the floor. She follows me everywhere! Its getting a bit much, its been about 2 weeks now, and its just getting more and more full on. She even stands up in her cot if she wakes up at night and cries "mumma muuuummmm mumma" just until I sit up and she can know Im there. Then she lays down and goes back to sleep pmsl! Oh and when Im talking, she will babble like crazy and get louder and louder until I stop and pay her attention! Its unbelievable!

We had her christening last Sunday, the weather was totally revolting. Raining and seriously freezing, but it was a good day. Cant wait to upload some photos for you all to see

That reminds me... due to some issues with a "friend", Ive changed the password on Jasmines site. Its now bb .... easy as. Just 2 letters. bb thats it. Long story, but it had to be done. Some people are just outright freaks!

Ok everyone I hope you and your babies are well. I think about all the time I used to spend on BB and I miss it! I miss you guys and cant wait to catch up next week!!!

Hey Kate, glad all is going well, looking forward to having you on bb more often!! I know how it gets though, you just don't get a second to yourself. For me, as we're all in one room, I can sit on computer and have the girls right next to me. Just have to keep getting up for the odd game, food, bath, sleep etc etc!!
HOpe everyone else is going well. im going to a 30th tonight. Got my hair done (LOVE IT, so good to have blonde back...) and Im looking forward to a glass ofwine. Tim has just gone to get us a belgium beer each so we can have a bday drink, as tim is babysitting tonight.
talk tomorrow
xoxooxxo

ps have added apic of my new hair!!!

Love your hair Meg! It's great when you go to the hairdresser's and they get it right! I hope you have fun at the 30th. Enjoy the wine!
Wow Kate Jasmine is growing up quickly! Marnie has just discovered how to pull herself up in her cot. I can't believe how fast it is all going. She's got some cool crawling moves happening but hasn't quite worked out how to put them all together and start moving. Any day now I presume.
Well I must go and do some work for school! What an exciting Saturday night I have planned.
