    Sacha - nice to hear from you! I was just thinking about Autumn and her eczema the other day - there was a report on Today Tonight about a guy that has made up a cream called Invisible Glove to treat eczema. He is a grandfather whose grandchild had it really bad and they couldn't find anything to cure it, so he mixed some stuff up himself. It worked so well that he marketed it and sold stacks and is now a millionaire (you know how that always happens ). The thing that seemed really good about it is that it had a money back guarentee, so it obviously works quite well. But you sound like you are getting on track with it anyway. That is a bit of a shock about the heart murmur. Hopefully everything goes well - I don't know anything about them - so keep us posted on how it goes with the paed.
    We are going birthday shopping this weekend. DH is saying we have to be very strict on what we buy as T won't know its his birthday and family members have gone crazy already (one sister is out hunting for a hutch for the rabbit she is going to buy for Tom. Or maybe two rabbits so they won't be lonely ). We are buying him a bike - one of the peddle ones with the handle so you can push them along, one of those rugs with the race car tracks on it and some shoes. To add to that I want to get him some books and new DVD - I work in an ABC shop so heaps of DVD's I have my eyes on. Tom is a little obsessed with Justine Clark off Playschool and she has a cd of kids songs that I might get to play in the car.

    I was settled in to do a big post but i think I am pushing my luck! Tom has been so good today - I have been doing heaps of housework and he has been playing happily by himself, but is starting to get a bit antsy now! I think it might be mummy/son playtime. Will try to come back in over the next few days to catch up with other posts and personals xx

    Ok trying again! And trying to remember what was said in the other thread..
    Flossie - your invites sound fantastic. It is motivating me to get my butt in to gear! Not long now until the Sex and the City movie comes out! Are you still excited? I definiately am. I will put in a friend request for you on Facebook so that I can have a look at Olivia's outfit.

    Nicky - how is the weaning going? I did pretty much what you have done - reduced the feeds to a couple a day, then just a morning one (when I was fullest) then none. I had to occasionally express a little just to take the pressure off a bit but all in all went pretty well. I think with mastitis you have to keep an eye out for feeling achy and tired etc. The only thing that happened with me is a few weeks after I stopped feeding i got a blocked ducted which appeared as a hard painful lump. The doctor sent me for a ultrasound in case it was something worse, but all came back fine and it cleared up in a few days.

    Grrr - just got interupted by annoying door to door sales man who did not have very good personal hygenie and couldn't take no for an answer!! How annoying! Run out of time now - have to go start dinner! Hope everyone is well and not too sad that our little bubbas are almost one!!

    Em - Ooh Justine Clarke - I find her kind of irritating! But then Autie seems most impressed with Nathan from Hi-5 and he gives me the irrits as well - maybe I'm just jaded from all the years of children's tv at work LOL
    I have the Invisible Glove actually - bought it years ago at a flea market but never tried it on Autie. Then my SIL sent me a tube just today - freaky.
    Isn't it great when they're happy to play on their own for ages? Autie is getting so confident. We went to church the other day and she was playing happily around my feet, then went down to the end of the seat, turned and waved at me and took off down the aisle. Mum and I just looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh out loud. She was on a mission so I let her go to see what she'd do. then a Japanese lady a few rows down rushed to grab her and took her back to sit on her lap letting her play with her wallet and giving her big hugs. Autie just accepted it and started pointing things out to her
    The bike with the handle is a great idea - I think we'll get one for Autie eventually but probably not til Christmas. I love having her birthday half way through the year - much easier to keep up with developmental stages. My niece and nephew are both within a 4 weeks of Christmas so it's an expensive time present wise!

    Uh oh, think I hear stirring... she is restless tonight. Better go.

    Sacha - that is spooky about the Invisible Glove! I cannot stand Nathan off Hi 5. Far too enthautiastic for my liking. Justine Clarke annoys me a little - when she sings "I like to sing" I always think "I really wish you could" but she is Tom's heart throb at the moment, and we can't deprive him of that! Tom has woken a few times tonight but I think it is because DH is watching Top Gear and he keeps laughing really really loudly. I better go wack him over the head and tell him to be quiet!

    Does anyone have FOX? Justine sings a song, something like 'it's my birthday today, I'm older than yesterday......", well it comes on everyday, on the nick jnr channel, and OMG, everytime it comes on, I could scream, but for some reason the kids love it, arhhhh!!

    Thinking I might get Jack a push bike. He loves to get around on Charlize's Dora one, but Daddy isn't too keen on him riding a pink and purple bike, so will try to get him a boyish one. Might also look at some little toys. We can't afford much at the moment, with DH on strike at work. Our monthly income has nearly been cut in half.

    Anyway, the rain hasn't stopped all day her today, I have already emptied out the rain gauge once, and it's already got another inch in it. So that's about 9 inches today!! And about 6 yesterday. Keep it coming I say.....

    I had Jack weighed again the other day, and he has reached the 11kg mark. Yes that's 11kg, he is getting so big, so quickly. But he is still my little boy, he still loves his cuddles and kisses. He is talking a lot more now as well. He can say bubbles, ball, piggy, puppy, bye bye. So cute.

    Sacha, that's so sweet that Autie went exploring at church. She sounds like a very social little girl, how cute!! Oh and sorry to hear about the exzema still flaring up. It used to break my heart when Charlize had it. Hopefully you can get some relief soon. Oh and I have a heart murmer, it hasn't affected me at all, except when I would have an anxiety attack, then the racing would give me cold flushes and dizzy spells, but my doc said that could just have been from the anxiety though, but other than that zippo. HTH

    Em, rabbits sound like a cute present. Are they much to look after? I want to get another pet for the kids, we only have a fish ATM, and DH said they are still to young for a dog and he hates cats. It's always good when you can get some house work done, without someone being attached to one leg, lol.




    Anyway, should do some more ironing, just trying to get the pill down to at least the rim of the baskey, a couple more should do it. I used to love ironing, I still do, I just never have the energy to get it done.

    Jess, I can't believe your nearly 3 months pregnant already. How quickly has that gone, although I bet, it hasn't felt so quickly for you. Hope the sickness has eased up by now. Are you getting the NT scan done? If so, I bet you can't wait to see him or her. Are you going to find out the sex this time around? Sorry for all the ?'s. How are you feeling hun? Remember you can always PM or email me if you need a chat.

    Lis, wow at olivia being 11kg as well. Charlize is only 11.9kg, and she is now 2. She must love her food to bits.

    Good night all.
