Hi everyone. Sorry I've been MIA a bit. I have to confess I've been hanging out in another thread. I've decided to move to cloth nappies and have been picking the girls in the cloth nappies thread's brains for the last couple of weeks. I think they are sick of me now! LOL I'll try to catch up on everyone's news. DH is at his work christmas dinner tonight. It was too hard for me to juggle the kids and other activities that we had on tonight as well as get 1 hour across town. Anyway, it means i have to pc!
Kate, I was more than happy to help you out with Kelsey's tonka truck. I hope you both get a lot of pleasure playing with it. And it really wasn't a bother taking it to your Mum's. It was lovely to see her again. She's so gorgeous. I'm just sad she's moved away, although it's a great thing for you. It was pretty awesome seeing your childhood home. Blake made himself right at home and loved playing with the toys, and also banging the knocker as we left. I hope the Paed goes well for Rylee tomorrow.
Deb, sorry to hear you've had a bit of a miserable time. Pg hormones can be a bugger, particularly at this time of year. I hope they sort themselves out, and that you can embrace a 'white' Christmas (if it snows!) BTW, did you get the house/place you were talking about? I was keeping my fingers crossed but can't see any news. I so hope you did. Bummer about your exam, but don't sweat it. You've got so much going on with your gorgeous son Al, your bump, trying to find a new place to live and everthing else going on. I'm sure you'll bounce back. And really, who talks about mountain climbers in day to day life!???
Brooke, Woo Hoo for your a/c going in. It makes such a difference, doesnt it? Woo hoo also that your Mum arrives tonight. I bet you can't wait. It will make for such a great Christmas, particularly with Maya being that bit older. Well done for getting most of your Chrissy shopping done in one afternoon. I've been picking up stuff for weeks/months - you should see our tree, there's about 40 pressies under it, and that doesn't include the pressie from us or santa for the kids! One drawback of having a big family!
Vanita, how are you going honey? Have the big girls finished school yet? Viv finishes tomorrow? How's Dion's Dora going? Still loving her? I think he's so cute. How's DH post-fires? Has he gone back to do some more fighting?
Bec, I hope you had a good time with your IL's. I bet it's nice to have you home back though. Visitors/guests are great, but it's great when they go, isn't it? How did Jonah cope with them? I bet he took it all in his stride the gorgeous boy he is! Any news from Telstra yet, or shouldnt' I have asked?
Hiya Hayseed. Glad to hear your u/s went well. How are you coping with the 1st tri exhausion? I bet you've been busy too with you DH fighting fires as well. Has he been off again doing it? My thoughts are with both you and Vanita whilst your menfolk are away. xx How's gorgeous Thomas? I bet he's getting so big and so clever now.
Hi Gemma. It was great seeing you and your family the other day. Thank you so much for coming and dropping the Tupperware over. It's now sitting nicely under my Christmas tree, and I promise I'll act surprised on Christmas day. How did you latest market go? Enjoy your catch up day tomorrow with the other girls down your way (are you still going?) and enjoy your time off work. And if I may ask, what's next on your TTC journey? I'm hoping things go smoothly for you.
Hi Lisa, welcome to our little crew. It's a bit sad that all of our babies are no longer babies, but I'm sure Brooke is growing up into a gorgeous and capable little girl. Good luck with TTC#2
Hi to Bel and Heather (is the m/s still gone? ) and I hope everyone is set for a wonderful Christmas.
Quickly to answer you question Brooke. Blake is getting a cubby, lots of FP Little People, sand pit stuff for his new sandpit DH has built. Ummm, thats all I can think of for now, but I know there's more... ooh, 2 Megablocks trucks - big ones a bit like Tonka trucks but not metal, all plastic with blocks inside. Books, a puzzle. Ummm. brain wont work any more.
wow thats a fabulous post Rachel.
Are you looking forward to having the school holidays?? I know I am. Are you using cloth on Blake now?? How are they going??
Kate, That the paed will be able to help you all out ( Rylee and yourself especially) Fabbo that mums here now, you should try get some zzzzzzzzzz in whilst she's around.
Deb, awww:hugs: I hope you will start feeling a bit brighter again soon, cry whenever you need to, thats what tears are for. Yeuch at exams, I swore I'd never study again after I finished uni
Hay, great that little bubs is growing nicely, what are you calling this one?? Kitty???? LOL How is pup, are you looking forward to him opening his pressies????
Brooke, yeah for ac, I couldnt live without it, I LOOOOVE mine. Thats lovely that your mum is there for chrissy. wow all done in a day. I have spent at least 4 hrs just wrapping, and am not even half way through. I start the kids shopping in july.
Bec, have missed you, good that the IL's have gone, so we get you back
Gemma, hope you are all well, and Amy is looking forward to christmas.
Hiya Lisa, welcome, hope you are enjoying Brooke, it seems like they are so grown up, but compared to my others, Dion is definately still my bubba boy.
Bel, its a pain I dont always get notifications either, I just keep one in my emails, and just check daily.
Hiya Heather hope you are feeling jazzed up for the silly season.
Well to us, Dion is yuck again, probably smoke to some extent, so coughing and wheezing, back on the puffers, and not sleeping well at night then sleeping half the day away, Oh well looks like its gunna just be his lot in life to bear. The girls finished school yesterday, and Im not sure whos more excited, them or me???? I am finishing work in 3 1/2 hrs and have 3 weeks off, so looking forward to that. I had a reassessment at gym on monday and have lost 2 cm around my hips, and 1 cm off each thigh, so despite not actually loosing any weight have obviously done something right ( though not tonight, its our last night, so have had a little party, with mars bars slice, and chips and dips etc, yum - but will go to my bum LOL)
Chris hasnt been back to the fires again, but is always on standby to go if needed ( now Im off work am feeling not so stressed about this )
Rianna hasnt had an accident in over a week, so is pretty well TT.
Dion is getting a HUGE tonka truck and bulldozer set, some books, some clothes, a torch, some dvd's, a lawn mower, a ball, some fp dinosaur sets, a follow me bob the builder scoop, ( and I think thats just Santa, LOL, I cant remember what else, coz I havent wrapped anything else yet, all the rest is in the garage in garbage bags )
I hope to try keep up with you all.
enjoy the season.
I hope the Paed goes well for Rylee tomorrow.
I think he's so cute. How's DH post-fires? Has he gone back to do some more fighting?
