That doesn't sound right to me Bel. I would consider going elsewhere. I agree, it could instill a fear of water rather than the opposite which is what you are trying to do.

Kate, sounds good about the Mattel thing. I guess we've got a little bit of time up our selves, but yeah, let's do it!! And then we can have a mini BB meet up too!!!!

Ummmm

Oh, a VERY belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Blake. So sorry I missed it (haven't been on for a couple of days)

Gemma, god, we've GOT to see this cake. Put a photo up somewhere so we can ooh and ahh over it!!!

I have decided to do a Blue's Clues cake for Pup. It's really the only thing that is his favourite at the moment. He doesn't even have a fav toy, blanket or anything....

Brooke, glad the move went well. It's amazing at the stuff you cart around hey?? I've been here for 6 years and I reckon I've still got boxes somewhere that haven't been unpacked. I should just throw them out.

Well, Pup had he 12 month immunisation today. he's fine. Cried when he had the needles, but ok now. We've got his party on Sunday, so a big week coming up for us. We have his actual birthday on Thursday and having a lunch with the grandparents and we also have a MCHN visit for 12 month weigh and bits and bobs. Then on Friday I have the mum's group at our house and will have a little party for him again and then family coming Friday nght to stay for the weekend and then the party on Sunday. Phew! At least we've got lots of helping hands....... We'll be singing "Happy Birthday" a few times, so hopefully by Sunday, the singing and the candles won't be a foreign thing to him and we get lots of smiles instead of tears!!!

I finally got a +ve OPK the other day so we BDd over the weekend.....seems like the only time we have sex is when I'm "on". Anyway, I hope it's all worked. Will know soon enough I guess. Fingers crossed for me pleeeeeeease girls.

Hi girls, we're back from a long long weekend! It was quite a good festival, we just did the one thank god.

I have some news. To my surprise AF arrived on saturday! I thought I was getting some for sure thing signs I was pregnant, you know that 2WW can drive you a bit mental. And getting the 2 lines on the test last week...
So when I got home I took a look at the test and confirmed a horrible reality.....
I had used the OPK test instead of the HPT test!!! they look the same, and its all in another language, I must have grabbed the wrong box! You girls will think I am a complete idiot! My DH thinks I'm a twit. Of course everytime I do the OPK test I get 2 lines, according to that test I am permanently ovulating. Oohhhhhh...I'm sorry to announce so early and to be wrong. I will try and hold off until I check and double check next time girls. Thanks for all your enthusiasm and good wishes, that was really really nice and I feel pretty sad to break the news that I am actually not pregnant at all.

So baby dust to you Hayseed, I hope this month is yours.

Happy Birthday Blake! the Big 1 woohoo

Bel that swimming teacher sounds horrendous. I would have been terrified too. Poor little Coby. Why don't you just take him yourself, instead of a class? We do that and Al loves it. He has a bubble and floaties on and he does a few 'tricks' and the rest then is water play.

Hi Heather!! Yay, good to hear that your little man is doing so well. What a clever boy with all those words.

Hi Kate - sorry I can't be joining you with the pregnancy just yet. We hope to soon though! Having a week thinking I was pregnant made me admire how well you're doing. It is just such a special state to be in, carrying another little life around. And caring for Kelsey too, you're a champion. It sounds like you have a healthy little one in there.

Hi Gemma - great that your DH had made the cake. Can he do ours too?

Hi Vanita! and anyone else I missed.

Al has received some presents from Oz already. Some cute books and clothes, as well as some necessary supplies (vegemite, bonjela and paw paw ointment) so he has started his celebrations already.
DH is in Beirut for work for the week (journalist assignment this time) and will be back on monday for Al's birthday. So we will just do a picnic in the park together, no huge parties here as family are so scattered, so its quite easy. I will make a cake for him though, but just a traditional layer cake shaped like a 1...not too difficult..hehe
In a few weeks we will have another party with all the kids from our mother's group.

Better go and stick my head under a rock..love to you all

Oops, forgot to mention Al's page is updated if you're interested.
