kim - its not fair, i wish i could change things for you. huge hugs and kisses

**Lea13** · May 5th, 2008, 08:01 PM

Oh Kim its not fair at all

I am so sad for you. Sending you love, light and hugs

**shereejoy** · May 5th, 2008, 08:09 PM

Hugs and Kisses Kim, if you ever need to talk, you know where I am. Thinkin of you.

Elissa - that is terrible about daycare and Archie's bum, poor little mite. Hope things improve between you and Jay. I think having kids takes the life out of relationship. I constantly wonder if I am appreciated sometimes but then I get great satisfaction out of seeing what a gr8 dad Wade is to Lachlan. Just wish sometimes I, Like you, did get sum attention some times. I don't think we ask too much now....

3rd day down and a couple next weekend to go before we are completly moved. Felt alot better today compared to the last couple of days, so don't feel so sore and tired tonight. Also lachlan slept thru last night and Wade and I did too, which was just what we needed to get thru today. I have slept terribly the last couple of nights, so I really needed it. And lachlan has been waking up to 6 times a nite lately too!

Going to Mackay tomorrow for gyno appt in the arvo and will be back home on Thursday. Hopefully will get my caesar date and will also get to meet my new gyno - CAN'T WAIT!!!!

**widdly** · May 5th, 2008, 08:20 PM

sheree - yes kids certainly can take the life out of a relationship, things are fine between us, i just needed some TLC last night, which i got this morning. How exciting finding out Riley's birth date!! Happy for you for getting a great nights sleep too.

Hello lovely Mummy's, ... You may not remember me ... It's Lorelle !!

... Been awhile I know

... Sadly we have two deaths in the family & I haven't coped well with them both.

One of which was my daughter Cendrine's Great-Gran (DP's Gran) whom would have turned 85 this Friday. Spent a lot of time with her leading up to the weeks she was suddenly ill & then peacefully slipped away (She was the one family member that I felt the most accepted of in DP's family & became very close to over the past 6yrs), my being 10yrs younger than DP had obviously been a problem with some of his family members, being his Father mostly

)

Anyway, I wanted to pop by & say a big " HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY " to ARCHIE for yesterday

... And a happy birthday to any May bubba's that I might have missed - A big belated birthday hug to u all

My daughter CENDRINE turned the big " 2 " TODAY

She had a ' Bob the Builder ' birthday party this past Saturday (yep, she's Bob the builder mad), it was a blast. We had her 3 closest friends & their parents at the party. She was dressed like a construction worker (or like Bob himself), so adorable. She was so excited

Sadly she hasn't had a single relative visit her since her 1st birthday party & none made it to her 2nd birthday party. DP & I have come to realise obviously they have ALL taken it for granted our traveling to visit them all on a regular basis. So, the rest of this year we are holding back a bit on the visits.

It just breaks my heart that Cendrine hasn't had any relatives care to visit her in a year. Just be lovely if someone came once a year just so she can show them her room & toys.

... Anyway, my how the time has flown in these last two years !! Cendrine is doing super & makes every minute of my day just so amusing, she is so funny & energetic & also very creative.

Well, yes the toddler age isn't amusing within itself BUT I hang in there just like the rest of US (gladly I have all my hair still, LOL).

Once again take care ALL, sadly I haven't been up to popping in like I thought I was going to ... So, I hope it's okay with you all that I might pop in once in a blue moon & check up on all these gorgeous MAY 2006 Babies here !!!!

... Take great care as always & keep warm this coming Winter. I'm about if anyone needs me okay :woman: ... Ciao for now & extra big hugs & kisses to our birthday toddlers xoxoxoxoxoxox

**widdly** · May 7th, 2008, 02:23 PM

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CENDRINE!!!!! Hope you enjoyed you awesome Bob the Builder birthday!

Lorelle - thanks for Archie's birthday wishes. I am sorry that you have been having a dificult time with recent deaths in the family, big hugs. Great to hear from you again, and of course you are welcome to pop in any time you like.

**Ilithyia** · May 8th, 2008, 07:24 AM

Morning girls!

I lost you!!! I wondered why it had been so quiet!

Happy birthday to Archie and Cendrine!!!!

I can't believe our babies are turning 2!!!

I can't believe Colby will be 1 in less to 3 months!! Times flies!

I about to go and to the first Belly Belly mums group i've been to. Pretty excited!

Also an update on the dimple on my boob that I had an u/s on some time ago. Went back to the dr's on Tuesday cause the dimple was getting bigger. Dr has now referred me to a breast surgeon. I have no PI so have to go public so who knows how long I will be waiting! Also asked for a referral to a psych and apparently have to pay for a normal one otherwise i have to go out to the uni psych dept. I kinda don't want to talk about my problems to a student....Is that unusual???

Anyhoo....Best get ready!

Hope you are all well....

BBL!

**Tannis** · May 8th, 2008, 10:09 AM

Happy (belated) Birthday Archie & Cendrine! How you had a great day.

Lorelle: Bob the Builder party sounds great! I still have no idea what to do for Jayden's bday, we will be in Melbourne a week before his bday so we are going to the Wiggles & Melb Zoo while we are there but i will have to have a party up here for Chris's side of the family. Thats terrible that Cendrine hasn't had family visit! Their loss anyway, luckily she doesn't know any different ATM.

Kim: Big

for you hun! What a difficult time, we are here for you!

Elissa: That is terrible about the DC! Glad you got Archie out of there! Hope you and Jay are ok....don't get me started on Chris lately....Pfft what am I talking about lately.....he never changes haha

Sheree: Great to hear Riley is doing well and you finally have a date!! YAY how exciting!

Nat: Great to have you back....GL with your assignments!

Shazz: GL with your assignments too!

Hi Christine & Leanne! :wave:

Sara: OMG I can't believe Colby is almost a year old! Time goes way too quickly doesn't it? Thats great that you are able to see someone, I don't blame you for being a little hesitant seeing a student....although they wouldn't let them see ppl if they didn't know what they were doing I guess. Has the Dr said what the dimple may be? GL I hope the wait isn't too long

Hope i didn't forget anyone....

**widdly** · May 8th, 2008, 02:05 PM

sara - Gosh COlby's first year has absolutely flown!! I wouldn't want to talk to a student either, it would be hard to put all your trust in someone who you know isn't very experieced. That sux that you have to pay. Hope the waiting list isn't too long for your boob dimple.

tania - LOL at CHris never changing! Jay and i are fine, i am just disappointed in the father that he has turned out to be, am really hoping that he gets more involved as Archie gets older, as a husband, Jay is absolutely perfect i honestly don't think a husband could be any better than him, but unfortunately fathering isn't his forte, to be honest, i don't think he was put on this earth to be a father, it sounds really horrible for me to say that as he adores Archie of course, i guess we all have our srengths and weaknesses.

Jay left for his mates bucks trip to Melbourne, they are doing the casino mainly i think, they will have a ball, its just the 2 of them though cause the 2 other guys have been posted off to Afghanistan just recently. Still dont know what to do with Archie's sleeping, am thinking im gonna have to just be cruel t be kind IYKWIM. I dont mind sleeping with him, but it means that he has late nights and he doesn't have as much independence as he once had. Might try and be strong and make him sleep in his bed while Jay is away.....hope i can stay strong, it just kills me to hear his hysterical screams for cuddles!
