Tan - 3 days a week I guess Depending on whether I can get day care for Miss M though - haven't heard back from any centre or family day care yet....

Needles went ok - she screamed a bit - then got over it. Doc told me to give her gaviscon for her reflux, see if that helps. So we'll try that first I guess.

Bear - GORGEOUS pics ... she is soooo cute!!! And well done to Pixie chick for the awesome sunrise shots..

Kel - yeah DD is long too - the nurse measured her at 64cm today - I think she was a bit off - I'd put her at 62 cm cos I was up near her head and it wasn't quite pushed up against the ledge bit (if that makes sense) Even the doc said she was long and skinny (yup.. long like her dad... dunno where she gets the skinny from... LOL)

Ahh well.. DD is sleeping at the moment...yay.... hasn't screamed this morning yet (not from pain anyway!) and DS is behaving himself.... think he wants to watch "Cars" again....

Oh and I think he is going to be ready for TTing earlier than I would want him to be... he grabbed his butt and said "poo poo" today - so I checked his nappy - no poo poo - then 5 minutes later - was full of poo poo.. so I think he is recognising the sensation of wanting/needing to do a poo... awwwwwwwwwww no fair.. all those lovely nappies!!

ETA - her updated details:-
Weight: 5.18kg
length: 62cm
HC: 39cm

ETA#2: DS said "Michael" this morning (looking at a pic of Michael Jordan on the wall) - so at least he can say his middle name - still can't say Aricyn though.. lol

Thanks for the new thread, dachlostar.

Pixie/Bear - Beth is so cuteee. From the pictures I've seen of you both I'm thinking she's a mixture of both of you. What do you think? and OMG PIXIE! Great photos and what an awesome view you have! I'm so jealous. :P

Mel - I'm glad DD went alright with her needles. I hope the gaviscon works. Poor little chicken. YAY for Aricyn's TT signs. I think that's wonderful news. I was so glad to have DS1 TT and I'm so glad I don't have 2 sets of nappies to change these days.
I bet your new haircut looks fantastic too. My ratty mop needs a chop. It's like half way down my back.

Hey and *waves* to everyone.
I'm a really slack with personals today. My mind seems to be all over the shop.

... and I think is my new fave emoticon.

I'm so fed up with DS1's attitude or whatever you may call it. I so didn't think he'd be like this just yet. He's being all "I know everything" and is trying to tell me how to do everything. When he says a word wrong, and I correct him, he'll turn around and fight back at me that his way was right. WTFFFFFFF.
It's so tiring. I really don't know what to do about it anymore.

Bear/Pix: Those photos are amazing! Beth is gorgeous!!

Kell: OMG, Keira must be tall! Hope she goes ok with her needles next week.

Mel: Hope you find care for M soon! Or just take more time off Woohoo on A saying his middle name! J couldn't say his name for a long time. Just get A to do poo's in the potty if he will and leave the wee's for the nappies.

SW: Have a lovely day shopping

Tenny: I know how you feel re DS1's attitude and how exhausting it is. If you find a solution let me know!

[Daydream Believer]

Hi all,
I havent managed to get online in a while coz DD is only sleeping 1 1/2 - 2 hours at a time so Im exhausted.

Speaking on which someone is awake BBL I hope....

SW: Have a lovely day shopping

Shopping? Who can afford to go shopping when they've just been told that the house they're planning with an architect is gonna cost 1.25 million to build!?!? w00t! And that's considering we already own the land!

Only thing I'm shopping for this weekend is packing boxes, tape, plastic drop sheets, garden mulch and Grand Designs season 4 on DVD! And maybe some kitty litter We got all our groceries for the week yesterday at the markets.

OK - so that was with an expensive builder who basically wants to build the foyer out of marble and freaking gold - which SO isn't me!! Nevertheless, our house here in Canberra is now on the market, so we need to get it ready for the photographers and the first open day! This involves lots of packing, gardening and a bit of painting

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

OH - and Bear/Pixie - love the new Beth pics =) She's adorable!

Mel - keep sending me more pics of your two gorgeous monsters =)))

[Arimeh]

SW - did you get the one I sent of Mehkelti on her own? I've tried to send it to family and it wasn't going through.. not sure if its a problem my end or not??

This is the pic anyway for everyone else if they want to check it out!!!!

Sal - I hope she starts sleeping more for you!!!! Its difficult when they don't sleep as much as you would like them too!!!

Tenny - maybe he's doing it cos he's not the number 1 son anymore.. he has to share mummy's attention - so might be doing a bit of that for that reason? I dunno, its the only thing I can think of... I hope he improves anyway!!!! If it were me, i would just ignore his behaviour and not get into an argument.. lol.. but we all know that I'm a bad mother... lol
