    Runner, I've been to Japan and loved it. In fact, we're planning on taking the boys to Disneyland there next year, even though the LA one would be cheaper. Love the people, it's easy to get around and just an interesting place to visit. If we go next year though, we'll only be going to Disneyland and maybe a few other Tokyo places like the Ueno Zoo. Ben will only be three and I think it would be a bit much to travel around with two babies. Might be a bit easier for you with Logan being a bit older though.
    If you have any specific questions, feel free to PM me and I'll see if I can help

    OMG!!!!!!! Just went for a 30min walk with the 3wheeler pram and our dog, and Miss A screamed bl@@dy murder the whole way.... I'm sure everyone in their houses were looking out the windows at me It was quite stressful. Picked her up a few times to cuddle her but when i put her down she'd scream again. I got home and fed her but she wasn't even that hungry!!! no idea what is upsetting her so much today.... it's been one of those days... *sighs* I need to lose weight!!!

    - forgot to say before (remembered on my walk) that that injection for Whooping Cough i asked GP about today and we discussed it and there has been no real research done on how safe it is for breastfeeding women however the QLD govt say its safe for b.feeding women. Anyway i didnt get it and might do some more research on it.

    eta - now Miss A is in her hug-a-bub and is sleeping nicely!!! Hhhmmm I think next time my walk will involve the hug-a-bub and NOT the pram LOL

    Ren: Better luck walking next time! Will let you know how I go tomorrow walking with two kidlets and the dog he he!

    Deb: Col delivered both my bubs. She was my rock and went out of her way to make it a pleasant experience...couln't and wouldn't have done it without her (I suffered post traumatic stress disorder from first birth experience - long story). I live at Caboolture....we have probably passed many times at the hospital or even at shops he he. It will be nice chatting with a local - not that it isn't nice chatting to all these wonderful ladies. They have been very supportive. Are you on facebook?

    Better go. Just bought DD a walkie talkie so we can keep in contact when she is in the yard. She has no idea but seems to be having fun with them all the same.

    Thanks for the support Runner mwah!! You have inspired me......look at my signature "personal weight loss challenge". Anyone else want to join me?? They say it is easier when you have the motivation of others who want to loose weight as well. This week I will eat my three meals (which are really nutritious) but watch the size of the meal and limit snacks (also make better choices). I will be eating my dinner off a butter plate to help with this. Also, I will be cutting down on diet coke. I'm not a coffee/tea drinker so the caffeine in coke was keeping me going....don't NEED it anymore. I don't want to fall into the trap of dieting...this needs to be a forever thing. I just need retraining, that's all.

    I would like to loose 1kg this week. I will be out in the garden this weekend so a nice start to exercise (and fun). Bring on tomorrow!! Wish me luck!!

    yeah Ella cracks me up when she's feeding and trying to "talk" - guess she's already starting that female thing of multi-tasking!!

    Linda: Im on facebook - Deb Bryant its a pic of me and my 2 kiddies! Colleen was wonderful with me, all the girls on the team were fantastic! Weight wise, I need to lose heaps!! Just need to get motivated and eat the right things I think! May just join u in it

    Ren: I had that with Charlotte once when she was a bub, just scream in the pram as I went for a walk, I always used to feel bad, but now I realise these things happen. Glad she was happy once in her hug a bub!!

    gill: How cute about Ellas talking, must be the female thing hehehe!!

    Well I've had a terrible morning, I don't know if u girls would of read on the other Jan thread but I suffer from panic disorder, and well this morning Harley was so worked up, wouldn't take his bottle, and his cry just got so much, I felt so useless, but lucky I had a few ppl talk to me. I dunno bout u girls, but sometimes I wish DP would put me ahead of work, like I know he has to work, but this morning he left me in a mess, well not as big a mess that I got, and his work is so quiet atm... I'm sure his boss would of let him come home for an hour or so, just to help me get Harley settled. I was a single mum with Charlotte and lived at home and always had mum around, so this is all new, I've never been on my own when bubs has gone off like that!! I also dont have a licence so find it hard getting around...thats another long story and won't bore u with it today. But I'm ok now, just really wish I wasn't on my own today, but I'll get there, just hope 5pm comes around fast!!

    Hope all u girls are well

    Deb, I hope your day continues to improve. It's awful when you're on your own and really feel it. I can't imagine what it'd be like to have a panic attack as well.

    Orange, you are very brave: two kids and a dog! I've managed to do the two kids thing, but my dog is a nightmare to walk (10 yo black lab who thinks he's a puppy!) so I haven't been brave enough to try that!
    Good luck with the weight loss. I don't really want to start losing weight yet as I find it difficult while bfing. I have no willpower as I use bfing as my excuse! Anyway, I am trying to get fit and work on my cardio rather than weight loss. We'll see how I go. I've been sick for a week so have been doing no exercise at all

    Ren, J hates his pram too. We've just taken the bassinette attachment off (as he was hitting his head while his feet were touching the bottom!) and it's back to being a normal lay-back stroller. We'll see how he goes, but I don't think he'll like it much better. He LOVES the HAB though. He just likes to be upright. I hope Ava has a better time on your next walk

    We're slowly getting better. Well, Ben and I are. Jared and DH are now getting it. It's awful to see little Jared coughing his head off, but he's still full of smiles. Such a happy kiddo I'm hoping he won't get it as bad as Ben had it. Let's hope all that wonderful breastmilk does it's stuff

    OK Deb....added you to facebook.

    True, true Gill about girls multi-tasking he he. DD could do a couple of things at once. Poor old Dash can't even drink his bottle and fart at the same time he he!!

    Hope you are all having a good day. I have been in the garden and am now very hot!! It's looking good!!

    Talk later xx
