Oh crap, I get logged on and my vision blurs again...

No results from last week's scan yet. Thinking of you all and all the toddlers. Liebs had his last day at hospital nursery today and they sent him home early ruddy place. He has learnt how to programme the washing machine/dryer and turn it on, so his nappies had an odd wash after their normal one at the weekend.

Best be off and rest my eyes, I hate this! Love to you all and I Hope to be better soon so I can keep chatting.

Hiya Ryn!
We all hope you're better soon too.
Thinking of you.

Guess what? I'm Grandma Rabbit again. 4 baby bunnies born this morning to our Bella. It's her first litter & unfortunately one of the 4 was stillborn. Very upsetting for me to have to take care of, but as long as the other 3 are healthy, that's the main thing. They are sooooooo freaking ugly that they are cute! LOL. They are about 2 days overdue though & their skin a bit wrinkly, hope they go ok!

HI Lovely Ladies,

Jayne - My goodness what a fertile little house you have got at the moment, becareful if its not just bunnies!!
Ryn - Hope you get your results back soon and that your back feeling 100% real soon.
Sal - Clever Brendan he is doing so well. Where in Perth are you living now?
Lisa - or should I say chef extroidinare. very impressed with your culinary excellence!!!

Not much happening here girls. I started Prego water aerobics last week which I love. Heated hydrotherapy pool and we spend the last 15 mins lying back with the lights off and soft music on floating with a head rest and pool noodles and you take turn towing each oterh around the pool. So relaxing came home feeling like I was floating.Booked in for my 19 week scan in 2 weeks so the weeks are flying by.

Erin is starting to winge so better go.

Hi girls.
I will try and get on here atleast once a day as it is so hard to catch up on everyone!
Kristy! OMG your pregnancy is flying by!! Your almost catching me! I am almost 31 weeks now. We are having another boy....
Well Jett is sick yet again, he is always sick with something!! I cant wrap him up in cotton wool either. He has vomiting and dihorrea, I think he may be teething.
He is saying a few words, Mum, Dad, Ta, bird, light.... the bird and light arnt clear but i know what they are....
Best be off,
Bye for now!

I keep forgetting to ask, has anybody started thinking about big boy/girl bedrooms? Like toddler bed, or single beds?

I have just started shopping for bits & pieces for Claudia's big girls room. I'm going to do a seahorse & starfish theme. Our house is very beach orientated & Jessica has a mermaid bedroom so I wanted to do something similar. I have just won on ebay a seahorse lamp & my gf Caddie is going to make some seahorse & starfish canvases.

Just wondering if anybody else is thinking that far ahead yet either? I'm not planning until re-doing the nursery, until she is probably 2.

Loves!

Hello!

Kristy, I'm in Northam, about 90kms east of Perth on the Great Eastern Highway. Your pregnancy really is flying by!

Scorpiomum, 31 weeks is awesome! well done not all that long to go now.

Tashie, things are going ok. he is hardly ever home. he goes to work at 11am and gets home around 1am. They have started seeding, so the money is really good, but it's hard not having him there aty night, thats when i need the help with Brendan!!!

Jayne, woohoo for bunnies I haven't really given beds much thought. Brendan is in his own room now as the master bedroom in our new place is far too small. I've seen these really cool beds though, race cars and things! I just cant wait... well i can but you know what i mean!!

Not alot esle happening. Brendan has his 1yr corrected check on wednesday. He'll be 1 yr corrected on Monday!! Hopefully they can fix his tongue tie there and not give us another referral. I just want it fixed, so he can catch up again!!

Take care all

[Tashie]

Hi girls,
Jayne - Wow, they really do mean that bunnies mate like crazy. I hope you sell them as quickly as you did last time. Has Jess called them all the same name again?
Lisa - I am very impressed on your cooking abilities and willpower. You give me inspiration to stay good and not eat all the yummy foods that come my way while on holidays. Keep up the good work.
Kym - Hows everything going darl? Haven't heard from you in ages.
Kristy - Water aerobics sounds fantastic.
Ryn - Hope you get some answers soon. Take Care ok
Sally - Way to go Brendan on the clapping. He is such a cute boy. How is the new place going and living with DP again? Its good to see you on here lots even though you don't have the net at home.
Tobi - Has worked out how to undo zips, so now we have even more things that he can get into.

[KymH]

Hi all still here!
Just busy with the usual....

Sorry Tash, I am a bad friend.... have been meaning to reply to your email or at least text (or here's a novel thought - I should pick up the phone for a proper chat!!!) Hope QLD is treating you well and that Tobi is being less destructive!

Gotta be quick...
Ryn, hope you will be ok soon, thinking of you.
Lisa, you sound like a chef extraordinaire!! Even though I don't like black pudding, i admire you for making it from scratch and it must be really good for bubs with all that iron etc...
Scorpiomum, wow, not long now! Got any names picked or are they secret??
Sal, congrats on the clapping (Brendan that is - I assume you learnt a while ago!!)
Kristy and Tash, Monkey has just started copying chores as well - sweeping seems to be her favourite - too cute isn't it!

And I know this was ages ago... but you guys were talking about when you put on weight.... Tash, I was like you.... I put on around 20kg in 12 months in my 1st yr at uni too!! Methinks I may have drunk a little too much alcohol and ate a little too much college food!!!

Newsflash from Monkeyland: She has got a tooth!!!!! all been a bit slow really, 8 days since the gum started to pit and separate and you can only just actually see it! Caused her a bit of grief, but not too bad.

Oh and in other news... the self-sleeping WAS a phase! Oh well, we think it may be a bit to do with teething and she's still easy to settle, but we haven't been able to put her down awake for a few days..... lucky i didn't get too excited!

And lastly (then I really do have to go to bed!) Monkey weaned herself last week too.... what a big month: walking, weaning, teeth all at once! I wasn't even as sad as I thought I might be; actually my overwhelming feeling was one of being proud of her..... bit weird, but I think I'm just proud that she is growing up I guess....

Love to you all.

[~Jayne~]

KYM _ WTG Monkey! I'm not surprised the self-settling fell by the wayside when she was learning so many new things! Walking is the ultimate & thank goodness for some chompers!!! Food will have a whole new meaning now! LOL. Oh wow with the weaning as well! That's incredible! What a clever girl!

TASH _ This litter of Bunnies is called 'The Fairy Tots'. So VERY Jessica. They seem to be going well. I was worried that Bella had them so quickly, she didn't pull much fur (they pull fur from their bellies to create warmth for the kits as they are born naked) & I thought they would end up being cold, but overnight she seemed to have realised & this morning they had fur underneath & on top of them. So they are very clever little animals indeedy! I have ended up advertising 3 of the remaining bunnies from our first litter that Chocky had. Two were given away to friends, one went last night & the other is going on Saturday. Only because I had $300 in vet bills to try & recoup & the people who were sooooo desperate for a bunny never called to come around & pick one out. So I had advertised them for tomorrow as hand-reared - which they are & so we will see if they go. Apparently they are hard to come by at the moment - this particular breed & I contacted another rabbit breeder I know who is very well known & she said she has a list of 30 names on her books of people waiting for bunnies. So I am hoping they sell tomorrow & being hand-reared I have put a bigger price tag on them so I think that only people who are going to really want them will pay that money for them. Oh wow, this is all about bunnies! LOL. How is Tobes? Are you still in Qld?

SCORPIOMUM _ How is Jett today? Do you think it's a tummy bug rather than just teeth? He sounds pretty unwell. I hope he is much better today!

KRISTY _ LOL smarty pants! There is definitely no human-loving happening in this house! Alan has been gone almost 2 weeks now! Gosh, don't wish that nightmare onto me! I had 3 female breeding bunnies, but after the loss of Chocky, I'm down to 2, I will be getting another doe when the babies from Chocky's litter leave home. I'm so glad you're going back to Murdoch! I love that place! Hopefully one day when I'm a midwife I will work there! It's just beautiful. I had many of the same midwives with Claudia that I had with Jessica & they remembered me which was really touching. Or could be because Jessica was 'THAT' baby who screamed the freaking corridor down all night long! No lie! LOL.

ME _ Busy day today, Jess went back to swimming lessons & gymnastics & we had dinner at my In-Laws. Claudia is sleeping better again which is great all around!

Love Jayne
