Babies Born July 2005 #17

Well I was going to post a big post yesterday and ended up playing with something creative - oops sorry. It was a BB thing though, so stay tuned.

Kate, I hope you got a better night's sleep last night after the accupuncturist. Brave little Rylee did so well. And it sounds like Kelse had fun at your old work too. I hope that it works out for you to go back to work. It will be good to have your Mum close by to look after the girls too. Good luck with the 3 weeks off dairy. It wont be as hard as you think. Can you have soy as a substitute as I know it's hard to have tea or coffee without milk - although from memory am I right to say you don't drink either?

Vanita, OUCH! for Dion biting you at swimming. Little monkey! My mother would say to bite him back. She had to do that with one of her wombats who would always bite her ankles. She bit Bridget -the wombat - whenever she bit Mum on the ankles and Bridget stopped biting very quickly! True story!

Brooke, I hope you're feeling better honey. There's nothing worse that feeling like crap. I'm glad you worked out what you would do with Maya and the double bed. It's great having BB to bounce things off, isn't it? Congrats on finding your wedding dress too (I'm a few posts behind!) I remember shopping for mine like that. You try on a few, and them BAM! you find the 'right' one. I'm sure it's gorgeous.

Bel, did you have your accupuncturist appointment? How did it go? How's Coby doing? I hope that you enjoy U2 on Monday. I'm so envious of everyone (in general) going to all these shows. I would love to see U2, Kylie, Pearl Jam and Robbie Williams (yeah a mixed bag of entertainers I know) but all the tickets went on sale when we were about to go to Paris, so I had to make my decisions then. I'm glad I chose Paris, but wish I could do both!

Bec, it sounds like Jonah had a fabulous night in his new bed. How grown up he is! Do you feel like you've lost your baby now, or are you just so excited to share the experience of growning with him? I know Viv was 2.5yrs I think, when she went into a bed or 2 1/4. Before that we had the side off the cot for about a month. She loved her bed, but she was a lot older. Blake will be staying put for now, after all we've only just got his sleeping sorted out. He does like lying on the car bed in his room when he's tired. Sometimes he just climbs onto it cause it's low and easy to get on. He loves it and will probably be in it by the time he's two.

Brooke, you'll be interested to know that I took Blake to get his shoes checked to see if they still fit - which they do - and we got him measured for sandals for summer. Well I couldn't believe it. He'll be getting a 6.5G for his next shoe! OMG how big is that!!! I guess he is a big boy. They needed to order them in for him cause they didnt' have that size. I was hoping for a last season shoe to save a bit of money(yep our budget is tight too), but they didn't have any!

Hi Deb. How are you going honey? Sounds like winter is starting to head your way. How's Al doing since his time in hospital? Sounds lilke he's starting to enjoy day care. It's hard when they do, isn't it? You're torn between wanted them not to need you, and wanting them to enjoy themselves and be happy. I hope it works out ok. Hopefully you can enjoy the quiet time for you and your bump. Still got m/s? I hope it goes sonn if you do.

Hi Gemma. Sounds like work is keeping you quite busy. How's your gorgeous Amy going? Have all her bumps and bruises gone? Say hi to DH for us. We hope to see you and/or him at the next meet. Please let him know he and Amy are more than welcome if he wants to hang out with a bunch of chicks!

Hi Hay. Sounds like the show was a big success and a whole lot of fun. I bet your cows are glad to be back in the paddock being normal cows again? How's Pup? Getting big I bet. Come and visit again soon when you have time.

As I might have mentioned (or not) DH installed our dishwasher last weekend. It was a hand me down that we had had in our garage for nearly 2 years as we couldn't a 'spot' to put it in the kitchen. Well DH decided last weekend it was going in, no matter what. He did an amazing job but unfortunately I lost my applicance cupboard so for the time being they're all sitting on my dining table. At least we can all eat at the breakfast bar/kitchen bench to eat our meals. Today we put a deposit on a kitchen dresser which we will put the applicances and other stuff into. We'll get it next weekend so another week without a table, but then I get a dresser. Woo hoo! And it was DH's idea!!!

As I mentioned I've got to wait for Blake's size 6.5G summer sandals to come in! What a boofa! He's such a gorgeous loving boy most of the time, but he does have ratbag in him, and has taken to hitting when he gets frustrated. Viv doesn't like it much as he usually is hitting her - ahh the joys of having a brother! He's now got 14 teeth as two eye teeth have cut - he may even have another but he wont let me look, and I sometimes forget too!

Better go ice a cake for a friend. It's her birthday today so we're taking a cake around for afternoon tea when Blake wakes up.

Enjoy this beautiful sunny Saturday everyone.
