[Nai]

Narelle, sorry to hear about your grandfather. I hope you and your family can support each other through this time.

Snowy, I did my Masters in Business with a HR specialisation.

Narelle - I'm so sorry about your grandfather!

Snowy - Congrats on your Pink news, thank you for letting us know! and very best of luck with your studies. Wonder Woman!

Nai - thank you for letting me know you received my email. I really very much appreciate any help you are able to give us
I hope you're feeling better now.
You also sound like a wonder woman! I dont think i would trust my mind to be able to juggle children/babies/pregnancy etc... with study.

Today we celebrated Ben's birthday at playgroup (yes, almost 2 months later!). We went away for Ben's birthday, then i was sick, then we had holidays... Dh had the day off so he came along. It was a really nice morning. We make cookies for all the kids and decorated them with smarties. I thought i made too many and we would have some left over, but they were a huge hit and the kids kept sneaking more (parents too i think!).

So sorry to hear about your grandfather Narelle - its never easy to deal with a loss and especially on a day you would normally be celebrating.

Snowy - pink! YAY. See you Friday!

I'm starting to show which is fun!! I'm 16 weeks now, gosh it goes quickly.

I'll update more tommorrow. I'm at the office at the moment!

I thought I had posted the other day... hmmmz..

Narelle - so sorry to hear about your grandfather - and on his birthday! Sending you a big hug.

Nai - oh so similar area. I have 3 subjects at the moment: investment theory & company valuation, strategic marketing & international marketing and last but oh so not least: time series analysis and application to empirical captital markets. It kinda assumes you have just done a statistics course and my statistics course is 10 years ago when I did my BA so lots to catch up on. The thing is that I can freely chose my subject and I stupidly picked 2 rather hard ones (the first and the last) ... doh! But they do interest me... so... out come the books with formulas... I will have to see what text books I have at home. I have a few here in Oz on Investments, so I can look up stuff there but have nothing here on Statistics so when they throw all these formulas at you, I have nowhere to read up on what it all means (and I seem to have forgotten all of it) .. anyway.. enough about uni... I did have a good study session yesterday when our old nanny came, so am feeling confident for 2 of the 3 subjects now and have already started the first two out of 5 assignments.

Katie - post some pics of Ben's party! I don't think he cares it was 2 months late.. not at that age at least. hope you had a fabulous day

Teena - see you in 50 mins - well, I am definitely showing, so...
yes it goes quickly, doesn't it. I have passed the half way mark!!

Zara is saying so much lately - it's so cute. I love this whole speech explosion that's going on. Curious to see how Allegra and Zara will get along today!

Snowy, I've made an entry on my blog (see "visit kaydee's homepage"). I was able to take a couple of videos with my camera too.
Funny thing is that in our Spielgruppe is a little girl who was born 3 hours before Ben at the same hospital. I remember hearing her mum giving birth - because when my contractions started i tried to get a midwife from the labour ward, but they were all busy. I remember them coming out of the delivery ward when i went in. They dont remember us though, but i suppose she was in happy land from just giving birth.

I hope you and Teena had fun catching up! Let us know how the 2 girls got on.

Nothing much to report here. I took Ben to a park near a huge lake yesterday. It was a beautiful day but he wasn't in the mood. Then going shopping afterwards wasnt the best choice either. I might just take him for a ride down the canal on the back of the bike today.

Hi everyone!
Thought i might bring this thread back to life!
I'm feeling really guilty at the moment. Reason being, we applied for a place in Kindergarten for Ben (starting August) and we got word back a couple of weeks ago that he got a place. We enrolled him and plan to send him 2 mornings per week. This morning at playgroup the mums were talking about who got a place and who didnt. I felt really bad because we really didnt mind if Ben got a place or not, I dont plan to go to work in Germany - plus chances are we will be moving back to Australia in Jan 09. There are 2 kindergartens in our (very) small town and not many places for 2 year olds. One of the mums said they were devistated her son didnt get a place because she planned to go back to work after Summer.

We took Ben to the Zoo yesterday. His new favourite animals are monkeys. The weather is warming up nicely so we are able to get out and about more often. Dh and I went to a concert on Friday night... So we had a lovely weekend.

Nai - Thank you so much for the help :-) I will be sure to let you know how we get on.

Ah don't feel guilty Kaydee, its not your fault and Ben will probably love it so think of the positives So you are planning on coming back to Aus next year? What are the plans, how exciting for you if you do.

Not much happening here, Milla is 5 months now and going great, just started rolling and is generally a happy little thing, the second baby for us has been sooooooo much easier, although she is pretty laid back so i guess that helps

Harry is good, has started role playing and has a baby dinosaur that hatched in an egg and now it gets nappied and washed and put to bed and dummied lol its pretty cute actually, can't believe how grown up and how much they get at this age, he understands so much now its so fun to watch them grow hey

We really don't have much news, i'm okay, getting there health wise, have my first period since having milla and its never bloody ending, i hope it goes soon, i have the tendency to worry A LOT if things don't go normally hehe so having a long period stresses me i'm sure its just settling back into a cycle and will take time but man it sucks!!!

Anyways how is everyone? Come chat
