Oh wow, I wonder if it's going through our Cohens? The one that my gf is starting to work at is in Booragoon. Gee, sounds like a big muff up on their part, hope you can get it all sorted very soon.

Nope... it was just ny clinic and 1 other... all the other clinics were fine. Booragoon is now the one I am going through, so I might end up chatting with your friend eventually

Hi, just popping in mostly to read and catch up....
Sal, sorry to hear app't didn't go so well for you. 10 mths is not too far behind 12mths and he still has lots of time to catch up - hope OT goes well for you.
Kel, Monkey weaned those feeds so quickly herself! When I stopped offering the night one (which really had been me offering not her asking for several weeks...) I thought she'd want the morning one more, but it was the opposite - 3 days later she just stopped asking for it and up until then she used to really yell for that one - go figure! My body did pretty well with coping, just a few times I got full and expressed a little in the shower, but thats all really. And emotionally I guess we were both ready, 'cos it wasn't as sad as I thought it would be.
No news here really. Oh yeah, Tash, I was just hoping I might be able to drop Sat work, but I don't think it will happen - and you're right - I'm too disorganised to cope with working 3 days in the week - I'd never see anybody or get anything done!!!
re: sleep question... generally Monkey does a short morning nap around 1030ish for 20-40min (I wake her if it goes beyond 45min 'cos it works better for us for her to have a long afternoon nap - cruel mother I know) then does a longer nap around 130ish - this can be pushed out till later if needed and can be anywhere from 1-2 hrs.
On occasion if she doesn't have the morning catnap, she gets exhausted and I have to give her an early lunch and then she's asleep by 1215ish and may do 2 hrs. But this can backfire too and if she only does an hour she's a disaster by about 5, but I think this is too late for another nap, 'cos then she wouldn't go down till 9pm.
Hope everyone is having a good day - the weather here is stunning today!

Hi Girls,
How are we all.? All is well here, stomach has just started to pop out. I have the big 19 week scan on Tuesday so looking forrward to that and hope all goes well.
As far as sleep Erin goes normally 10.30 -12 .30pm and then another hour around 3pm - 4pm then in bed about 7.30pm and wakes around 8am. So can;t complain there.
Went to this Mothers group called MOPS ( Mothers of Pre schoolers). It is run at one of the church's but is not religous based. Its 2 1/2 hours where the Mums get together and do things such as a craft item, yesterday it was foot baths and massages next fortnight it is facial etc etc. Whilst this going on the ladies from the church and some other carers watch the children in a creche. Was our first time yesterday and Erin was fine till about 10.30am then they came and got me as she had got really upset. It broke my heart when I saw her as she was sobbing and I ha.dnever seen her like that.I think she was tired as that is her normal sleep time, but they had forgotten where I said her dummy was so I think if she has that she would be fine. It is once a fortnight so I hope Erin will get used to it. I will bring her pram next time in case she will go down for a sleep . Apart from Erin getting uspet it was a really nice day they put on this big breakfast. ALl for just $8.00 for all the activities, food, creche etc
Erin is now just into climbing everything tables, couches her highchair!! My Mum said I was just the same so I guess its payback. We are back with Erin doing swimming again and I am off to prego water aerobics tonight. Picked up a pair of bathers just once piece navy blue in the clearance rack at Kmart $2.50!!!! Bargain!!
Sorry this is all about me post, will do personals next time I promise!!!
Love K xx

KRISTY _ Oh wow, that sounds mint! Where is that run? I'm sure that Erin will get used to it in time. Sometimes it takes them a while to get the hang of things. Listen to you Little Miss Socialite!! Swimming lessons, Pregnant Aqua Aerobics, Church Mornings. I'm jealous! Is your 19w scan with Dr Hugo? I can't remember the other guys name. He did our scan but his name escapes me right now! I can't believe you're basically half-way there. It's insane.
Hope everybody else is having a lovely evening!

jemima made me a card at her first day of daycare - a purple butterfly with feathers all over it so cute i cried
and 'jemima' bought me a photo frame with four special photos of me and her 'footloose' on dvd (totally random i dont know why i want that but i havent seen it so bring it on) a pair of ladybeetle earings (i love love ladybugs-i have a tatt of one) an some tour booklets for egypt which is the main reason i am 'going back to work' i am going to fund a family holiday to egypt and greece in early 2010 coz hopefully 2009 will be year of baby number 2.....
jemima also cracked at least 2 more teeth on friday one near the back and one in the middle back up the top one on each side so she is catching up after not getting any teeth since boxing day
kristy i cant believe u are almost half way - have u felt the baby kick lots??? are you finding out girl or boy??? names??? i met a girl yesterday that is pregnant with a boy and is gong to call him "Egan"
byeski for now!

KEL _ That is weird, I thought 36.5 was a normal temp? Maybe I'm wrong? I'm glad to hear she likes it. So many kids to play with, so many toys, fun games to play, etc... what's not to love for them? How is Jem now? I think it's strange they called you, maybe she was tired?
LISA _ Is this the bridging course for Uni for your midwifery? OMG that is soooooo exciting! I can't wait to hear all about it. I want a stethoscope. Do you get to have a stethoscope when you are a midwife? If I have to be a Dr to have a 'licence' to use one, then that's what I'll do! I was thinkign I'd prob have to do some type of bridging, but then I realised I got a Diploma in Business Management, so I think that should scrape me through as I didn't finish Year 12 either.
KRISTY _ Yes, tell us what names you're thinking. I'm soooooo not having any more kids, so no fear here of me stealing your names that's for sure! LOL. Was Erin scared of the horses? Sounds like you had a wonderful Mothers Day. Just think that next year you will have 2 lots of nappies to change on Mothers Day! PMSL. Bugger bout DH going back to work, I could use him sometimes. Some little s*its kicked over & smashed up all my solar lights last weekend. Not happy!
TASH _ My new bunnies are doing good. They are brilliant colours & are 2 weeks old tomorrow. They started opening their eyes on Sat/Sun & now they are coming out the nest, much to Bella's disgust I think! LOL. Jessica is just smitten with the 'fairy tots' & has taken a shine to Scratchy. The little one who had a hard start. Yes, I sold the bunnies with the souped up price tag. In fact, a lady came & couldn't decide between the 3 of the remaining bunnies so she bought them all! You sound like you are holiday-ed out, which is understandable. I'm loving the Tobi huggles though! Very, very cute!
ME _ Claudia has 3 new teeth, so that is 11 now. She is very, very, super, duper cuddly at the moment, which I"m loving because she was never a cuddly baby. She has also learned to climb the ladder of the slide attached to our swingset which is very clever, but soooooo scary! She even does 1, 2, 3 with her fingers (well does the 1 perfect & the 2 & 3 are desirable) before she whooshes down.
Talk tomorrow! Good night.

Jayne - Yep, this is for the nursing/midwifery course.
I could get through on the 2x Cert III's that I have... but because I have never studied at Uni, and there is a certain way you need to write essays for Uni, I thought it best for me to start the OF course to get me prepared for it all.... and it has been over 4 yrs since I last studied, and I didn't have a 1yr old at the time, so doing this will help me juggle the workload and adjust a bit better for when I do start uni next year

Hi My lovelies,
LISA - Good on you honey for doing that course. I'm sure Harrison will be fien as well. I loved Underbelly Wednesday nights wont be the same now. I saw on the Logies that one of the actors saidwill be making a Underbelly 2, hope so, though not sure what else they can write about!!!
KEL - MY understanding anything 38 and above is a temperature, very weirdd, and proably frustrating for you.
JAYNE - You can do a bridging course through Open Universities Australia which goes over the essay writing and things like that for a refresher. I was thinking I would proably do that before I study again just for a refresher. As Lisa said they have there own wasy of wanting them written, and its been a while since I was at school. Erin loved the horses. She loves all animals and has no fear of dogs at all, so have to watch her as she just goes up and wants to cuddle any.WIll make a list of my names so you girls can give me your thoughts. I like Rory or Luke for a boy no girls names popping out at me yet.
Talking about popping out 1.20pm today is my big 20 week scan, very excited. Hubby is on night shift so he is coming as well and Mun is coming to watch Erin. Will let you know how it goes. xx

LISA _ OMG I'm so excited for you! I want to hear all about it. I could possibly start making tracks towards it next year when Jessica is at Kindy, because she will go 2 x full days, but of course I still have Claudy to contend with. I wrote loads of essays for my Diploma, so I wonder if that would have helped me out. But then again, 2 kids has turned my brain to mush so I would probably need a refresher as well! I guess though that all states have different ways of doing things. I think it's mint!
Oh yeah, have you started Cohens yet? I'm really thinking about joining it myself. I'm getting really down with my weight & it's just not shifting & getting out at the moment is very hard because of Claudia's sleeping & the kids activities (swimming, etc..). I have been on my tready most nights, for at least an hour, sometimes 90 minutes & I noticed you said the other day to wait 5 hours between meals. So I have been doing that as well & making sure I eat a good breakfast. But in saying that I have cut my weetbix down from 2 to 1 & not having any sugar on it, just a splash of milk & a chopped banana. I know Cohens doesn't endorse drinking milk etc... because I did go to a seminar years ago, but I can't remember it all. It's like a 40 minute drive though to weigh in each week, so if there were somewhere around that I could weigh in locally, it'd be easier. & I'm sure you'll talk to my gf at Booragoon. Her name is Alison. I'm not sure if she has started there yet or not, I should give her a text.
Hope you are all having a great day!

Kirsty - I have heard that the underbelly they have planned will be from the beginning, showing how the Morans etc got into the lifestyle they were in etc... should be interesting
Jayne - I actually had a bit of an argument over the phone with Cohens in Booragoon last night, because they've transferred me to Sydney, and the Sydney consultant has gone away on holidays, so I am still having to wait for my new program.... grrrr.... it is fine with me going through either clinic.
I do my Cohens via correspondence I supposed you'd call it... I don't go to weigh in's, I do it all myself at home and email my results to my consultants etc... perhaps that is something worth discussing if you're definitely interested. I have to say that when I was on Cohens last year for a month, I lost close to 20kgs, and felt brilliant... yeah the food can get a little boring, but you just have to find different ways to cook things... this time around I have different recipes and have enjoyed it a lot. I just can't wait to start properly all over again.
Tomorrow is the due date for Little Wing... it is a strange feeling because I am ok with it... I can't imagine having another baby just yet, as much as I would like one.
My good friend from high school just gave birth to a gorgeous little girl last Monday... and my sister is a month of having her baby, so there are babies everywhere!!! lol
