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

where do you get underbelly on dvd from?? i just looked up ebay and ezydvd and it was not there
i think blo0dy daycare just wanted one less kid yesterday so knew jem was teething so played me.... pain in the butt as i had JUST come to terms with the fact she was there and that i should do stuff around the house when they rang.... oh well
went to mothers group this morning wore her out and dropped her at daycare for lunch and nap and they have not rung me so that is good - i will go and get her later this afternoon
i have heaps of people to find for the highschool reunion - i am up to about 38 to go i think the list started at 222 or a little less but people who didnt finish grade 12 but were in our grade are invited to so whoever we find like that we tack on the end of the list - i just rang the mum of twins that were at my school so that is two less woo hoo
gooooood luck kristy!

Kel - DH got it from K Mart.... he said that they had apparently sold over 80 copies that day... apparently it was selling out everywhere like crazy! I have seen it advertised in Big W and Target too.

LISA _ Is that 20kg in O N E month? OMG that is insane! Do you mind me asking how much you are meant to lose? Don't say what you're meant to weigh, just what you're supposed to lose. I need to lose 20kg & you have just said the lucky number! I"m going to see what I can do!

Just a quick one from me just came back from the ultrasound. They didn't really tell me much they said something about the placenta being low but when I asked if everything was ok they said the DR is looking at the scans and will send them over to your Dr! Not going to get stressed I'm sure all will be fine, couldn't help myself googled low placenta and they said it is quite common at the 20 week scan and generally moves up.
Lisa - Thinking of you hun, I can imagine this would be a sad time for you.
Registered User
Hi Girls,
Kristy - I wouldn't worry either. As your belly grows, the placenta will shift upwards. I like both Luke and Rory. Very cute names.
Lisa - Thinking of you sweetie.
Kel - I got Underbelly from Coles for $80, don't know whether the price was good or not. How funny everyone is so interested in it. I organised my DH's school reunion last year. Good luck finding that many people. We did searches through myspace and facebook and also put a notice in the paper. If you put it is editorials, then it doesn't cost anything. Even if the ex-students don't read the editorials, some of the parents might and pass the message on.
Jayne - If you don't end up doing Cohens, I highly recommend the Tony Ferguson shake diet. It is the easiest diet I have even been on. I lost 7kg in a month (which is nothing compared to 20kg) and that was without exercise.
Take Care

benji is ultra excited u girls are helping me find underbelly on dvd.... i have been anti-underbelly but it is the first show apart from csi that i have seen benji REALLY want to watch and i love House so he never really got to watch it - i am going to go shopping today and buy it for him
he bought me a new vacuum and dishwasher last night i am so so spoilt! dishwasher 7 days away but vacuum in my car.... the cleaner comes today so i will let her christen it
i just applied for a job in a warehouse that sells organic food and products (including baby food) 2 days a week so THAT could be interesting...... 7am til 3pm thursday and friday, i maybe a little full on for them but we shall see
GUESS WHAT! day 2 and a half of daycare.... and i am signing a freakin "incident report' my daughter got in an incident with a bigger kid (after 4pm they get let out to play with the bigger kids coz most of the toddlers have gone home) the bigger kid ended up grabbing her mouth and cutting inside of cheek and it bled and they gave her ice to suck on... you just cant get good help! when i pick her up this arvo i am going to go for a drive to some other daycare places MAYBE some that provide food and have a baby baby group, jem's daycare place starts at 15months so she is the youngest kid there at least at one with baby babys there she will be among more little ones so "after hours" she will be most likely surronding by younger people and maybe better supervision although if i get this job it wont matter coz i will be able to pick her up by 3
kristy my SIL had low placenta when she had jemima's cousin and it meant nothing at all except that she got another scan later in pregnancy to see if it had moved i think at about 34 weeks which meant she got to see the baby again so that sounds good to me! and even if it does stay low - no stress they will probably just give you a c-section which is all good too that means a longer stay in hospital with new baby - no stressing aloud - stressing is bad for baby! so there
jayne - i agree with tashie - tony ferguson and celebrity slim are awesome diets to shift a bit of nagging weight both of them have a gazillion flavours now and are 2 shakes one meal so heaps easy to do especially when you are running around after kids, i just had an optifast shake this morning to make up for the feast i had last night, i may go to the chemist and see about getting back onto optifast but with their guidance, i usually do it by myself so will have a think about that - did u say you like to have a banana smoothy?? celebrity slim has banana flavoured shakes and i'm sure tony ferguson would too........... i have heard heaps of good things about cohens too so really you just have to decide how much money you want to spend and how much work you want to do (shakes are a no brainer you dont eat food you just have shakes, whereas cohens and other food diets mean you have to be disiplined and eat certain portions of certain foods - weight watchers is great for long term weightloss etc but too easy to cheat)
grrr weight sucks
jemima has this new thing she does she walks around pulling her shirt up and sucking her belly in! she found her belly button ages ago which is the cutest thing ever coz she has this mcdonalds shrek toy that she loves and when you press it's chest it says "i'm an ogre" or "burrrrrrrrp" or something else but it growls it so she walks around pressing her shrek button growling or she comes up to you and presses your neck and growls
so you can ask her either where her shrek button is or her belly button and she goes insane trying to show you (really funny if she is wearing a body suit)
she also like to find other people's belly buttons and lately been quite confused when other people dont have a lady beetle tattoo on thier hip like mummy hehehehe
just realised i had written a novel so i better go and do some work
cleaner comes today and jemima is at daycare sothere is no reason why when hubby gets home the house is not spotless and dinner not on the table! hhheheheheheh
mwah
ryn - where are you? are y ou ok????

Hi All,
Just checking that Kristy's scan was mint. I'm glad all is good & like the others have said, low placenta is common & usually moves up as the pregnancy progresses further. Were you tempted to ask if they could see any boy or girl bits? I'm so proud that you didn't find out!
I will BBL for personals. I'm having a really, really, really horrid time with Jessica. I was hysterical on the phone to Alan last night. I'm basically a single mother & when she is in trouble every waking minute of the day, I wonder what I'm doing wrong. It's just horrible, today has been better, thank the lord because I couldn't have another day like the past week.
Sorry to be a drag, I just dont' know what to do with her anymore.
