Woohoo! Lachie just spent his first night in his big boy bed, and slept 10 hours!! I hope that he can stay in there now. I really need that cot of his in a few months... hehe
Ok I have already lost two big posts today so this is going to be an edited version in case it doesn't work!
Nicky - how is your belly going? I love looking at your facebook pics - you look great. Big claps to Lachie for sleeping in a big bed. Clever boy. No way would Tom do it yet. And I noticed the name in your sig... Love it! What a gorgeous choice.
Jan - I love Morning Star. One of my closest friends got married there and it was gorgeous. I posted in much more detail regarding her decorations for the reception in my lost posts, so will come back over the next few days to explain more. Bridal expo was a nightmare.. Lots of aggressive pushy women that had no regard for the fact I had a pram. Not even sure how much my sister gained from it. We just come home with piles of phamplets! Tom and I spent the last hour sitting in the car because he just got so overwhealmed by all the people. That was the best part of the day - he 'drove' for the whole hour and played with the radio and I layed on the backseat and read my book. Bliss! How is job hunting going?
Sacha - have you been in the paper yet? They obviously chose Autumn because she is gorgeous! Love the cubby idea - Tom has a tunnel which he loves but I think a cubby (and a trampoline) will be next on the list. The box from our new tv is getting a good work out by him anyway. We haven't done 18mth jabs yet - I keep forgetting to make the app but also I am a sooky lala and he is so much more aware of the pain!
Not going to type anymore in case this doesn't work. Where is everyone else? Are you having problems posting like me? This is turning into the Jan, Nicky, Sacha and Em thread!
* edit* Yay! That took many pressing of the back button and answering of strange random questions. How weird..

Yey Nicky, how exciting for Lachie to be in a big boy bed - and sleeping well! That's great!
Jan, the winery looks gorgeous. Very lush and GREEN in the photos LOL I think it's a good idea not to have fish - I just think it's a really hard thing to get right when you're cooking it for a large group (and I don't like bones either) What about the cake? (Maybe a secret?)
Em - Oh hooray, you made it! Autie loves to 'drive' too. Dan puts her in his ute when he's got it parked in the backyard and she'll play happily for ages, the horn is her favourite, along with climbing the steering wheel. Not in the paper yet, but I did as Jan suggested and called the paper to get some copies of the pictures. They are sending me the proofs so I can choose, so that's nice. I think I will do the jab while Dan's home this week if I get around to it. He always holds her, then I get the comfort cuddles after. She didn't cry at all last time with the three though, so I'm crossing my fingers it will be ok this time too.
It's been ages since I posted guys, I'm sorry. I have been ready though, just been really slack in my replies. Been a very busy last couple of months.
Firstly I wanted to wish Lis a very Happy Anniversary for tomorrow, I remember because you got married the day before us. Hope you have a great day.
All this wedding talk is great. I must ask for everyone's details again to add you to my facebook. Long story, but had to delete all my friends, and now have to start back up again. So if you wouldn't mind could you give me your name so I can search you back up or could you search me and add me as a friend, please - Melissa Murray. Thanks guys.
Jack had his needles couple of weeks ago, and all I can say is I'm so glad it's over for a couple of years now. He didn't cry much, but I hate it.
My doctor was amazed at his vocabulary, he can probably say 50+ words and can hold a conversation with you, it's basic but very cute. He is also a Thomas the Tank Engine whizz, she was gob smacked at this one, he can name and point to Thomas, Percy, Edward, Diesel, Gordan, Emily, James, Stantel, Harold the Helicopter and Fat Troller, it's amazing. If you point to Edward who is Blue like Thomas and say Thomas he says, noooooooooooooo Edward. Very clever.
But that's enough gloating by me.
Jan, when is the big day again?? I can't remember but it must be getting close, it's so exciting reading all about your plans. Brings back great memories.
Nicky, your doing a great job coping with the morning sickness and running around after an 18month old. And love the name choice. And good boy Lachie for sleeping in his Big Boy Bed, I'm sure he won't look back now. Jack loves his bed.
Em, I'm so paranoid about letting my kids play in the car, my nephew when he was 2 some how managed to take the parking brake off and roll his Dad's car into the side of the house, no damage to the house, but a few $100 in damage to the car But he a hewdini (sp?) so I'm sure most other kids are safe I hate crowds, especially when they are so rude when your using a pram/stroller, book and cheofer (sp?) sounds much better.
Sacha, I love the Avocado green colour, one of my 2 favs, I wanted the same colour but didn't have enough time to get dresses made, and I had a size 8 and a size 22, so it would have been perfect to pick the material and let them choose their styles, but had to go with a more minty green, as they found a style that they could get in their sizes. Oh well they still looked nice. Do you have pics of your wedding? Are they of Facebook? I would love to see.
So I must be off, I surposed to be doing invites for DH 40th birthday invites, they are already late.
Oh nice to hear from you Mel!
Wow, that is very clever of Jack to differentiate between Thomas and Edward, and to speak so well already. It's fine to gloat - aren't we all proud parents? It's nice to let it out now and then.
What have you got planned for DH's 40th?
Well, I AM on Facebook (Sacha Sheehy) but I never go on there I'm afraid I'll get carried away - I'm easily addicted, as I found out with my recent journey into MCNs LOL Plus, I don't really understand all the ins and outs of it. I will attempt to get on and work out how to put some photos up. I think we should ALL put wedding photos up. Who else is on Facebook?
soooo, if it's Lis' anniversary today - and Very Happy Anniversary to you Lis, then it must be Mel's Anniversary tomorrow - so Happy Anniversay to Mel
And wow for Jack & his Thomas expertise, what a clever, clever little man. At least you know what to buy him for presents for the next little while LOL. I love all the words that are starting to flow through, although we don't have nearly as many as Jack.
Nicky - what gorgeous name for your little girl. Is there a story behind it?? And cool for lachie's big boy bed - how did he go for his second night?
Em - your story about the Bridal expo makes me kind of glad I didn't go. Well, not that I even knew it was on, but if I had known I probably wouldn't have gone anyway. Isn't it bizarre how the sniff of a wedding can make some people got just completely crazy.
Sacha - I've invited you as a facebook friend I think = I'm a bit of a FB novice, so it mightn't have worked. Mel - I tried to find you but there are a lot of MM's, so might be easier if you find me (if you want to that is , look under Jan Skelton. And anyone else on here for that matter, that would be cool.
Well, day 2 of the official job hunting process, and I have to say I reaallly dislike it. I'm so bad at finding jobs, I find it really difficult to do the "upsell". Which is crazy, because I'm really good at helping other people. But it is only day 2, so trying to stay on an even-keel with it.
Liam has developed an obsession with phones - EVERYTHING can be a phone, it gets picked up & put to his ear & he says "Hiya'', then does a really fake laugh, then says "Bye Bye" & hangs up. It's hysterical. We have his 18month MCHN appointment tomorrow, which I'm really looking forward to cos I want to see how much he weighs & how tall he is. Not cos I'm expecting anything unusual, I'm expecting him to be mr 50 percentile kid, but just cos I'm curious.
Anyway, enough from me - going to see if it's cooler than 300 degress outside so that I can open the house up a bit.
Hi there lovelies!
How are we all handling this heat? It's horrible here, well over 42 degrees and my a/c is really working overtime. Who's idea was this whole being pregnant over summer thing. LOL Should have thought about that one a bit better. haha
Em belly is going well! I think there's been a little growth lately, but not tonnes, which I should be happy about! hehe. I am getting lots of jabs all the time in the groin.
Hi Mel! Good to see you. Wow at jack's Thomas knowledge. Lachie is also Thomas obsessed but hasn't yet mastered the names. He can nearly say Thomas but he can hum the original theme song with me. hehe SO cute.
Sacha I am on facebook too... have been for a while.
Nicky James, if anyone wants to add me ( pic of me and hubby). How are the MCN's going?
Jan good luck with the job hunting! I remember being unemployed for not quite 2 weeks at one stage, and I was having a massive melt down thinking noone would want me! hehe. Of course, there was nothing to worry about, but my mind tends to tick over in funny ways.
Lachie has the same phone obsession as well, picking everything up and putting it to his ears. It's so funny. He won't say Hi or Bye though. He doesn't like talking on the phone much. All the best for your Appt tomorrow
Not alot happening here.... Hopefully in this heat all my excess fat is melting away. LOL That combined with m/s has got to be a winner right??
Oh and thanks heaps for all of your lovely comments on the name we have chosen for our little one. It was actually going to be for Lachie if he was a girl too. It's a name that popped into my head the night before I tested with my very first pregnancy back in July 06. Unfortunately, that pregnancy didn't continue, but I have always kept the name Allira just in case. Never thought I would get to use it. We had been tossing up other names before our morph scan this time around and I wasn't convinced I was going to use it this time, but when the sonographer told me I was having a girl, Allira came straight into my head.
Just a quick question. Do your kids mind the heat? It tends to make Lachie quite uncomfy and a little on the feral side a times. I find his temper is alot shorter (haha so is mine!!), and he's actually quite clingy, which I can't stand when I am sweating away.
Nicky - a quick answer to your quick question - Liam isn't bad in the heat, although today & the other really hot day we had he was in daycare, in airconditioned comfort. He does seem to get a bit tetchier, and his eczema flares up a bit, although it's hard to know if this is not also brought on by a bit of teething that's also going on. And he drinks water like it's going out of fashion, starting to make me wonder about diabetes, although I'm pretty happy that he's so keen to drink the stuff, it's a healthy way to be.
Wow, I'm really over having problems getting on here all the time
Jan, I'm a complete FB rookie and I don't mind admitting that it's a bit confusing for me atm - all these people's pictures popping up, friends of friends of friends...etc. But, hooray! where I once had no friends, I now have 5! I guess making it known that you're actually on there helps... LOL
Strangely, I cannot look at the word 'friends' atm and not see it as really weird looking. Like when you say a word over and over, and it loses all meaning.
Nicky, I added you as a friend. Now I have 6! Ha Ha somebody sssstop me! You poor thing being preggers in that kind of heat! Autie seems to handle heat ok, except for being a little less energetic maybe, and a bit more eczema.
I am really enjoying the MCNs, even the washing! (especially the bit where they're all clean and fresh off the line) I have tried some different brands but am in LOVE with Ittis. Now if only I could get proficient at Little Squirt use...
Em, do you have wedding pics up? I'm still trying to work my way through everyone's photos. Am I weird in finding it a little strange that you can see what everyone else is writing when you don't even know the people? Or is that the whole FB thing? Or is there somewhere that you can send private messages?
Well, anyway, it's nice to have a face for some of you guys now. Not everyone was as I pictured. Raels, I had you with short, black hair for some reason LOL (Even after seeing Oliver's photo! ) Loved the photos of him fishing btw, he is really concentrating huh? I bet he's a busy little boy - he has that look of always being on a mission.
I can't remember if I told this already and I can't be bothered going back over posts so forgive me if I did. I think I've mentioned how obsessed Autie is with balls. The other night she was up later than usual and the blind was open. She was just watching tv, nearly asleep when she noticed the full moon out the window. Well, you've never seen someone so excited - pulls me to the window pointing and saying 'ball! ball!' It was a cute moment and I keep remembering it with a big smile.

But he a hewdini (sp?) so I'm sure most other kids are safe
I hate crowds, especially when they are so rude when your using a pram/stroller, book and cheofer (sp?) sounds much better.

, look under Jan Skelton. And anyone else on here for that matter, that would be cool.
. going to catch up on posts then reply
But, hooray! where I once had no friends, I now have 5! I guess making it known that you're actually on there helps... LOL
