I chose my wedding dress today!! very happy about this, although a bit freaked out too, cos it means I can get on with everything else now. I can't, unfortunately, tell you anything about it, because I'm going to be inviting friends who read BB, and I want it to be a surprise for everyone.
So I guess everyone's going through another busy phase LOL
Nicky - How is DH going with back to work? I had glandular fever back in my uni days and was pretty much out of action for 3 months! It was truly awful. On the plus side, I lost 10kgs without trying LOL It's wonderful that Lachie is sleeping so well and you get the chance to rest up. Fingers crossed that continues forever.
Megan - how are you feeling? How's the house going?
Jan - So now you have the dress sorted, what is next on your list of to do's? What kind of wedding are you aiming for? Can you talk about theme etc?
Em - Are you on here tonight? I thought you might be due to the same reason I am - cricket's on LOL
Hi to everyone else. Hope you are all happy and well.
I took Autie to swimming lessons on Monday and her teacher asked if I would bring her back later to be in a photo for the paper. I think it is a story about preventing drownings. I said ok, thinking it would be a quick couple of shots but we ended up being photographed for about 1/2 hour, doing practically a whole other lesson. Bit embarrassing really, with other parents watching and probably wondering what was so special about us to get so much attention. Anyway, DH is buying the paper every morning 'cos we don't know when it will be in there.
I have been a bit naughty seeing Christmas has just been - we bought Autie a cubby house and tunnel today. She is loving both though so that makes it ok right?
DH's birthday is coming up in March and I had an exciting idea for his present. He is right into cooking and trying new food/wine so I am thinking I will take him to the best restaurant we have here on the Gold Coast as a surprise. They do a tasting menu of about seven or eight courses with wine chosen to go with each. I think he's going to love it but I will have to save hard - it is $155/person!
Hmm, I guess that's all I have for now. Have a great weekend!
Sasha - could you be my wife??? I think your present idea is fantastic, if only my DP would realise that a gorgeous restaurant experience is my idea of birthday heaven - that and a really long massage
I love the new picture of Autie, really really cute. And not that naughty with the new cubby & tunnel. We're thinking of getting a trampoline for Liam soon, rather than waiting for his birthday. Maybe you could contact the photographer of the paper to ask if you could get copies of the photos they took, might be cute to have.
Nicky - I missed the bit where you said your DH had glandular - what a pain, such a yucky thing to have to get through. But yay for Lachie's sleeping habits at home - I remember all the trouble you were having in the early days, so it's great that he's come through all of that. Mine only sleeps if he's at day care, or if he's being walked around in a pram. If we're at home, he just refuses to get in his cot during the day. So I do a lot of walking...
The next wedding stuff on the list is to work out what I'm going to do with BM dresses. I have no idea what colour I want, so it will just be a case of getting my sisters together & hitting a few shops until we find something that they're happy to wear. Themewise, I'm looking at the standard "elegant & sophisticated" approach, so trying to keep things relatively simple, and age appropriate (I'm no longer a spring chicken). I also have to finalise photographers, flowers & a DJ, hoping to have most of that done by the end of next week, as I already have a few ideas.
Plus I will have loads of time for organising - I was told yesterday that work doesn't need me anymore, so I am back to being a full-time mum. I'm going to be looking for another job straight away, because now that Liam's settled in Daycare I may as well keep him there,unless I can't find a job, because without me having a job we can't afford it really. Plus it doesn't make sense to have someone else looking after him if I'm at home. I'm also going to miss the money in the short term, it really did make a difference over the last couple of months, so hopefully it won't take too long for me to find something. Bit scary in the current job market though. unless we win tattslotto on Saturday - that would be nice.
