Megan that's great news.

V, I want to see that movie as well. Let us know how it is. I know Jem has seen it, and she really liked it.

Thanks everyone for your nices thoughts on our anniversary. Sorry it has taken so long for me to catch back up with you all.

We had a lovely dinner, they gave us some complimentary chocs at the end with a coffee for our anniversary, and we then won some money on the pokies. So yey all round, the night ended up only costing about $80 and thats including cabs, dinner, drinks and some gambling. It was a lovely night all round. DH and I both said it's great that we can still enjoy ourselves. I can't wait to do it again.

I forget what everyone had wrote in the old thread, so sorry.

Jack is still well, still eating and BF like there is no tomorrow. He loves his cruskits, an oldie but a goodie.

Charlize is still not well, took her back to the quack today. He just said that she is still recovering from the bug she had last week. I just try and keep her dosed up on panadol. She has been miserable, the poor little thing. I hate it when either of them are sick, it breaks my heart not being able to help.

Anyway must be off. Take care all.

Hi everyone

Well, I have had the craziest day today. Ironically, Diana slept through the night last night, but I got a case of insomnia and was up most of the night reading. This morning I had a job interview, which I was quite nervous about, but I think it went well. Then when I got home and could finally relax my brain kind of switched off completely and I ended up doing dumb things like walking all around the house for 15 mins looking for my sunglasses only to realise that I was holding them in my hand, lol. Diana is still doing well. She is crawling all over the place and seems to be fascinated with rubbish bins. Wherever I put her, she always crawls to the nearest bin! We went shopping for a playpen for her today but couldn't find anything suitable. Does anyone know what shops sell them? So far we've looked in Toys'r'us and Kmart. We're after one of those you put straight on the floor, not a port-a-cot.

Sasha - thanks for the info about the Science of Parenting book. It sounds really good. I might see if I can get a copy tomorrow from somewhere.

Mel - yay on your fantastic night. So glad it went well for you. I love your new avatar too! I am thinking of upgrading my membership so that I can have an avatar too. They're so cute. Hope Charlize gets better really soon.

Sara - yes I got the info about the photographer, but unfortunately Penrith is too far for me to come out. Hope it goes really well for you guys. What paper is it for?

V - hope the party goes well. You'll have to post some photos. Is Avaleigh going too?

Hi to everyone else. Hope you all have a great weekend. Happy Australia day!

Hi girls,

Veronica - I always give Oliver a bf before any food that I give him. What time does she wake up? I would bf her then and maybe wait half an hour and give her the rice cereal. Have fun on your dive and at your party!

Blueflower - I got the email but I'm a bit far away! LOL. That's awesome that you're going. I will be checking out the paper.

Megan - wow! Your little man must have been buggered from all that devilish behaviour yesterday...hehe.

Mel - oh I hope little Charlize feels better soon. It sounds like you had a great anniversary night.

Starfish - we have a shop here called Baby's Galore and they sell the play pens you are talking about. Good luck with it.

Well I'm so proud, Oliver is sitting all by himself. I put a big cushion behind him cause he does fall back every now and then though. He is loving it too!!! He just sits there with this huge gummy grin. So gorgeous. And he gets to play with more toys now, ie the ones that I would never give him if he was lying down just in case he dropped them on his face. I gave him some baby yoghurt last night. As he has his dinner quite early at 5 o'clock, he seems to want something later on when we have ours, so I figured the yoghurt could be his desert. I bought the Yoplait "My first Yoghurt", suitable from 6 months. He really enjoyed it so I gave him some more tonight. So far so good. I can't handle too much dairy and neither can Lexxen so I wasn't too sure how he would go but no sign of tummy pain or anything like that.

Having a belated party for Lexxen tomorrow. Should be fun except they are predicting showers. Hope it doesn't rain too much as it is a pool party and I don't have a back up plan!!!

Well it's bed for me, have a great weekend everyone.

Raels. xo

HAPPY HALF BIRTHDAY TO MY BABY BOY

Boy that went sooo fast!

A friend of mine gave birth via c-sect on the 14th of this month to a beautiful little girl Savannah Hinetitama (middle name is Maori= Dawn Maiden) she weighed 7pd 8oz I seen her for the first time today and OMG i could not believe how clucky i got!! lol.

Well im feeling a bit better today, no more vomiting but tummy still feels very yuck and i cant stomache food just yet! But im on the mend Ethan has shocked me, for the last three days he has had a 30 min sleep around 10am then has a 2.5hr sleep at about 3pm, it has never happened! I had a sleep with him the last two days and it did me the world of good as i haven't been eating so the sleep gives me a bit more energy.

Raels- Well done Oliver, thats great! Hope you have a great day tomorrow and enjoy Lexxen's party, i have my fingers crossed for you that the rain holds off and you dont have to worry about a back up plan.

Zofia- Lol @ diana going straight for the bin, the things our children find to amuse themselves If my thongs are anywhere within ethans reach i will find him munching them, and then gets upset when i take them away, Gross child lol.

Mel- Hi! So happy for you that your anniversary went well and you and Dh enjoyed yourselves, it really is great to just get out and enjoy yourselves together occasionally. Glad jack is still going well. Poor little Charlize, i really really hope it clears up soon and she can be happy again. It is heartbreaking when they are sick and theres not much you can do.

Megan- Glad lucas has given you a little break and decided to show mummy that he can be a little angel! Its great isn't it when they unexpectedly give you a longer sleep.

Sara- I was reading about that in another thread, hope you and Kaetlyn have lots of fun, i wish i could see the paper when they go in!!

V- Yay for Avaleighs sleeps today! Ethan is so close to crawling too! We are all going to be busy when they do take off! Hope you and Jason have a great time diving together and enjoy your party. I hope you dont forget to take your camera, the photo's will be great!

Anyway ladies HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!! Have a great weekend.
