[tears_of_joy]

Hi Ladies

Grrr! I am so over this bug/flu..its driving me mad, and DH left again this morning, and as its been sooo hot again Ethan has just been a grouch all day and all i have wanted to do is sleep, sleep, sleep! but being just me and ethan it was not possible, now i cant sleep cos im all congested and frustrated Phew got that out of the way!! Sorry, excuse that outburst, lol.

Em/Megan/Raels- Your little bubba's are just so gorgeous!!

Veronica- Glad you have the 'Stripper thing' sorted. I would feel the same way though, luckily for me DH is not into strippers and asked the boys not to organise one as he has his own stripper and nope he's not sharing!!Lol! Im so excited for you getting to try your dress again, cant wait to see the photos, you will look just beautiful. congrats on the weight loss Where abouts down south is jason going for his bucks weekend? Im 3hrs south from perth.

Raels- I too am worried about going overboard for xmas!! I think we are getting him a bounce baby thing that he can sit in and it spins and bounces and lights up and sings. And a mobile for his cot as his one broke! and hopefully we dont go getting much more but i can see it happening! Poor little man having his needles, I hope the Temp stays away this time.

Mel- You poor thing having to worry about your op! Good luck and im sure you will cope wonderfully afterwards How cute at you and charlize being on the TV! YES im happy with the final 2 also, I would like to see Natalie win it, but wouldn't be upset if she didnt IYKWIM cos i like both of them.

Well yesterday i went and had my eye's re-tested, i haven't been back since i first got my glasses, oop's! and back then i just had a slight Astigma(vision is blurred by an irregularly shaped cornea) which has now gotten worse and i now have myopia(short sighted), the optometrist said "do you ever get called a blind bat?" "Yes, sometimes i said" and he said "well im not suprised"!! I must say i walked out of there a little embarrassed and with a $600 Bill!! I will make sure i keep my regular visits up to date!

Today we had the real estate agent come evaluate our house and....Its on the market!!! and we put an offer in on the other house!! YAY although its a waiting game now as apparently the market has died down a bit and our offer on the other place is pending finance, property inspection and sale of our place, so hopefully when the finance goes through, some one will snavel our place up and we can get us a new home Now just the fun and games of people traipsing in and out of the house!

Well i have no plans tomorrow so hopefully, its a little cooler and ethan is happier, and we will just spend the day relaxing together at home. Hope you all have a nice day tomorrow.

Im going to try get some sleep! BBL

Oh, this will probably sound daft but...did/does anyone have problems trying to get the hang of facebook? i signed up but gee im finding it confusing LOL! maybe im still suffering from the 'baby brain'!!

Hi everyone - thanks for all of your kind comments about Tom. Raels and Megan - you both have gorgeous bubbas as well. I think this July group should be renamed the group of beautiful babies.

Veronica - i am super excited about xmas this year too. We didnt even have a tree last year because i was so sick with morning/all day sickness, and i brought DH's presents on Christmas eve from Target and they were so crap, but i was too sick to care - so this year i am going to go all out. I even brought all new decorations - having aqua blue and silver in honour of having a boy. We were out walking the other afternoon and the house down the road that always decorates their house and garden with the best christmas display were out the front putting up their blow up santas and stuff. I dont think Tom will be too interested in it this year, but i am!! In regards to presents, i am not sure what to get. I did buy a heap of clothes for him the other day to put in his santa sack, but then i realised that if i wrap them all up, its just me that will have to unwrap them so i might not bother with that. We are going to get Tom his first Tonka truck but have no idea what else. He will get soooooo much stuff from relatives etc.

TOJ - good luck with the house and hope you are feeling better, you poor thing. I think my sister is buying Tom the present that you have got for Ethan - is it the Bounce Bounce Activity centre? It looks like fun. Tom hates the heat too - he just falls to pieces although you would have it worse than us - you are in the middle of a heat wave at the moment arent you?

Well, we are just hoping to have a nice quiet day at home today. Tom has his needles tonight (boo hoo). It was a very busy day yesterday, with mums group and 4 month check up. Got into trouble off my MCHN for using sunscreen on Tom. She asked me about sun protection and then said i shouldnt be using it. Oh well, i think she just likes to pick on atleast one thing you do every session!
I had a doctors app yesterday because i found a lump in my breast over the weekend. I have to go and get an ultrasound done but it is looking like it is a 'lactation cyst' which is probably caused from stopping breast feeding. If it is that, it will have to be drained with a needle. He put my mind at ease over it being anything worse, as the lump appeared suddenly and is quite painful, which is the symptoms of lactation cyst.
Mel - good luck with your operation!! We will all be thinking of you xx

Better go - my lazy baby is finally awake!
