Babies Born December 2005 #21

Hi girls!

Wow you have all been busy talking up a storm in here!

I've just been catching up, so bare with me...

Dani - Yay that you got the job, girl. CONGRATS! KWYM re the cash flow situation. If it's one thing I am looking forward to, when back at work it's that little bit extra in the pocket! Sorry to hear that you and the Jettboy are sick. Hope you get better soon.

Melly - I bet you are so proud of your little man! Who wouldn't be? Babies are so amazing in all that they learn in that first 12 months.
Sorry to hear that the black dog has been hanging around your house. *SIGH* She can be a nasty biartch sometimes. I say, let it all hang out here. You don't have to be polite and you certainly don't bring us down. Better out than in, I always say...oh wait...that was Shrek, who said that. Anyway, I hope that you have some good days to come.

Yael - Congrats to your hubby for his promotion! Hope it brings much happiness. Sorry for the belatedness but Happy Birthday to your gorgeous DS. I hope that he had a lovely day and that you did too.

Sarajo- I just had a looksee at Abby's pics. She is such a little cutie. I love that dress, the pink and blue one. Sweet. She is quite the little character, isn't she.
Sorry to hear that you tooth is still giving you trouble and that you have had teething probs with Miss Abby too. I hope everything settles down for you soon. Big hugs.

Beck - Yay for Maddy! Now she squarely falls into the toddler category - literally! I bet you are one proud Mummy. Hope the dinner went well.

Missy- Hugs. Thinking of you and Callum. I hope that all goes well in March and that the murmur is self resolving. It just seems never ending this mother worry, doesn't it?

Renee- How did the baking go? I hope you got to eat lots of yummy food and not just make it! Are you ready for the new school year?

Meg- good to hear from you, can't wait til you are back online for good. Hope the house is good and that you are all settling in well.

Hi Kate, miss having you around! How is the beautiful Miss Jasmine?

Hi Christy, Ray and everyone else!

To all those lovely ladies who commented on the scrapping pages, thanks. I felt really proud of my efforts! Big hugs for making my day.
Sarajo, you asked me about Ivy's vomiting? She is on 20mg of Losec now and seems to be doing ok. Like you, she has good and bad days. She has a really bland diet too as she is allergic to alot of stuff, not anaphalactic allergic but upset tummy, eczema generally miserable allergic.
You also asked if I had ever considered doing photography as a profession? YES. I would love to do that but I don't feel confident in my skills. I love playing around with the computer programmes to alter photos too. I like taking close up portraits. My BIL is a professional photographer and he takes the most beautiful photos. He took some on the weekend, I will upload them soon onto the babies' site and you can have a look. I'd LOVE to be able to do photography like that. I am slowly learning.

As for us, I am starting back to work on Wednesday. After freaking out with my shift arrangement and getting ready to resign, it was all sorted out very quickly and my days were changed. So, the kids all go back to school on the Tuesday(Yay! The crowd goes wild) and I go back to work on the Wednesday. Dave has taken the day off, so I don't have to stress about the babies. Then I am on night duty. I figure I might as well get payed for staying up all night. Ivy can only pay me in slobbery kisses for my trouble at home and that won't pay for groceries, sadly.
Ivy and Noah have both been sick with colds and Ivy has a middle ear infection and Noah is still struggling with asthma. They have been clingy and grizzly for the last four days. Not too sick that they want to sleep alot but sick enough to not want to do anything else but cry and cling. We phoned the paed who consulted over the phone (gotta love that - NOT) and faxed us scripts for antibiotics and prednisone. They were a little better today but still really full on.
They are both up and cruising the furniture with no sign of standing alone or walking yet. Noah has finally decided he can clap his own hands instead of grabbing mine or his sisters' and clapping ours for us.
Ivy has discovered that she can escape the baracades to hold her in the loungeroom so I am constantly wandering around trying to Ivy proof the house. Much easier when there are no big kids leaving little pieces lying around.

I'll catch up with you all again soon!
