Hi everyone,

Wow, I can't believe how quiet it is. ha ha... It's only cos we're all so busy with our bubs.

Billy had his 4 month needles today and did really well. I did well also, didn't cry this time. ha ha ha! I'm not sure of his weight etc at the moment. He has a check up this coming Tuesday.

As for me, I've been trying to get back to the gym but feeling too fat to leave the house. Bought myself a new ipod shuffle yesterday as I can't find my old one since I moved! So, I've loaded that up with songs and might head off to the gym shortly. I have to lose 48kg! What a classic. Well, I lost 50kg 5 years ago so at least I know I can do it! It's so weird you know, I see the girls on the biggest loser and some of them look heaps bigger than me but weight heaps less. Why do I weigh so much but don't look all that big? Strange.

It sounds like everyone here is so happy and enjoying their bubs. It's awesome. I wish we could get this chatter up and going again. I'm going to make a concerted effort to drop by every day and see what's going on. I really do miss all the chats we used to have.

Well, I better put my gym stuff on before I change my mind! I hope everyone's having an awesome day.

Much love to all,

Kate & Billy

Hi everyone!

Wow, it looks like I'm not the only one that forgets to check in here these days!

How quickly are our bubs growing?! Punky is a delight each & every day - can't get enough of her... except during the witching hour - that's when she's Daddy's!!

We had her needles on Wednesday, I cried like a big girl, again, Punky cried less than I did in fact! Brave little Pumpkin!

Are there any Melbourne chickies that want to meet up for a spot of shopping somwhere with our bubs?! Getting sick of not knowing anyone down here or doing anything ever.... & would love to meet some more cute 4 month olds if anybody knows of any... hehehe, and their adorable mummies too of course!

Hey Everyone,

Good to hear your all doing so well.

Ever since we got back from our honeymoon Bodie hasn't gotten back into his original sleeping pattern. He used to sleep right through the night. Now he has been waking up around 2 or 3am! Arrrgh. I feed him at 5am then we I put him in my bed & sleep till around 8am (on a good day). Oh well, hopefully he'll sleep through the night soon.
We've had a bad afternoon with him today... we got back from a picnic up the mountain and he slept for most of the way in the car. When we got home he was just wouldn't stop crying, we couldn't put him down to play with his toys, always wanted to be picked up. Finally got him to sleep just a minute ago. Probably just over tired hey.

Kate: Good on you for hitting the gym, I went for about a week lol, but I think I like walking outside better.

Nik: Happy Birthday for tomorrow!!! Hope you have a great day We'll be the same age hehe.

Maz: Yeah aren't the bumbo chairs great! Bodie likes sitting in it with his toys near so he can chew on them lol.

Anyway better go, he's woken up... short sleep!

Happy birthday to me!!!! Oh better go change my ticker. The weather is just divine today so we're going to make the most of it and have a bbq down at the creek. Hope everyone is having a good weekend xxx Luv the birthday mummy and Amy xx

Happy Birthday Nik! Hope you had an awesome day! xo

Queen Mab, Jen and I met up at DFO in Essendon and want to again, with Tiff this time too. Where do you live? You are more than welcome to come along. I am in East Kew.

April, no good about Bodie having a bad day. Billy has those when we have been out all day. That's why I don't go out much. I figure when he's older, it will be easier. I hope he's having a better day today.

Maz, I know. I'm hopeless. I'll get on it though. Hey, come join the Bumbo users group on Facebook. How cool are those things? I want one!

Well, I've been to gym 3 days in a row. Doing 40 minutes of cardio every time and weights every second day. I love it. I feel so inspired and proud of myself. I also ordered this book called "Mum, don't supersize me!". It's on it's way. There was a story about them on "A Current Affair" the other night. It was great. I really got it mostly so I can make sure that I learn about healthy eating for kids and stuff. Anyway, I'm hoping it will help me also. They had great results with families on the show.

Hmmm, what else. Oh yes, I'm planning to take Billy over the US next year. Want to meet friends in LA and then head down to Texas to visit another friend. I have to take him before he's 2 so I don't have to pay for 2 airfares! pmsl We'll see if I can save up.

Anyway, not much else going on here. Billy's asleep and I'm going to have a shower and clean off the gym sweat!

Happy Sunday everyone.

Hi everyone,

QM- Yup like Kate said I am in Melb too. Amber and her boyfriend Billy went to DFO last month. Kate and I just tagged along!
Maz- We have a BebePOD and Amber just loves it. We put her on the bench and she acts like a queen sitting all high and mighty.
HAPPY 25TH NIK.... I hope your DH and Amy are spoiling you today.
Kate- Wern't we going to go to Canada when we were pg? I have never been to Texas. Want to go one day though. Ben and I want to drive from coast to coast next time we go.

Hello everyone else.
I had a blocked duct during the week. Wasnt nice. Shoved some cabbage leaves down the bra and are now right as rain. We are still bf well enough.

Thats all I have to really talk about now.
