He he Brooke, are you organising your baby stuff? I've changed my mind, I reckon your having a boy! Is your c/s stil booked for Monday?
Zac is so funny today, I told him to go to bed, so he went out the back ( ok that part isn't funny) So I went & got him in, changed him coz the bottom of his pants were wet, & told him to go to bed, so he toddles off lays in bed & shuts his eyes. I go to walk out & he sits up, I turn to look & he quickly lies back down & shuts his eyes, after 3 goes he has stayed in bed. had me in silent stitches laughing.
Storm I cant believe that Zaccie will actually go to bed like that. Sammy would laugh at me im sure lol! Sorry to hear Amy is being a pain lol....kids! There is a lot of wind here which im assuming is from the cyclones up north but other than that no dramas...its sounding pretty bad up there.
Soph its great to get out isnt it and you are lucky you have lots of playgroups around..go for it! Its great tiring the kids out!!
Brooke....is Monday the big day???? Soooo excited for you!!!!!
Cass thats so rude ...what a bummer..you deserve the extra $$$$$ $50K extra would be wonderful!!!
Had a lovely day today. Was so nice..as i was coming out of my class today I had Darren and my darling little man come up to greet me! Sammy thought uni was pretty cool hehe and showed off for everyone!
Quiet night tonight...Darrens doing a friday night wedding which is very unusual but least its a 12 finish yay!
Soph like you I have not read the last thread ...naughty!
Zac is such a good little fella ...Kaityn is pretty good at bedtime but not that good.
How is Uni going Jo?. Enjoying the mental stimulation.
well tired mumma here. We had a big day yesterday , went to see my sisters new place and then went out for brekkie which was nice . Then yesterday afternoon we went to a friends daughters 1st bday party and we all had the best time! Did not end up getting home until 10PM>>>>>and Kaitlyn was awake until 9pm !!!!!!!!. They ended up pulling out the vanilla Vodka and after a couple of shots ...I was shot!.
Then today Dh worked so Kaitlyn and I went to see my mum. We had to take her cat ( I got him when I was only 16yrs old ) to be put down as he was not well . Man oh man ..that is two beautiful Fur boys in our familys that have had to be put down in the last few months..horrible.
Now Kaitlyn is sleeping and I am in bed on the PC hehehehehe.
OK gonna go play on ebay a bit before DH gets home at 4pm !. Hopefully the miss is down for a nice big sleep .
Oh Brooke just popping on to say best of luck, have fun and enjoy your gorgeous new bundle. Sending you lots of 'no pain' and 'ob be nice with that scalpel' vibes
shocker of a night here!. Kaitlyn was up from 230am - 5am...no idea why!. Man oh man I am so tired today .
Was so proud of my little girl yesterday ...you know when they just have a great eating day ..I mean I try and not base my happiness around her eating habits as it can leave you stressed...but ..She tried Cous cous and Chickpea curry yesterday and loved it!. Plus had all her veges , meat balls and Pasta for lunch ..and snacked on Fruit and yogurt all day!. You know when you just have one of those days that you feel like she ate the whole "food Pyramid" hehehheheh ok ..silly whohoo I know!
Well off to a work do this morning - I am meeting Nico Rosberg from the Willams race car team...mmmm hottie hehe.
OOOh Cass it's great when they have days like that... I was actually thinking today how rushed I am in the mornings & how I cant wiat to be on mat leave & then do a few hours at nighyts coz Indah pretty much gets woken up to put her straight in the car & then taken to FDC, so no teeth bruishing & I kinda throw together stuff, I notice the difference between her & maddy at the same age. maddy knew that when she was in her high chair it was meal time, Indah kicks & screams hopping in the highchair atleast once a day including weekends & so she then snacks sitting on a mat on the floor but she doesnt eat healthily as such like Maddy did, Indah's more of a try anything snacker... Like she loves cream cheese with sweert chilli sauce on cracker squished together for her lunch... She will happily shovel anything into her mouth (as long as she isnt confined to the highchair) but it's just not what i really want happening...? I just wanna be home to get into a bit more of a routine, like she has atleast 2 day sleeps at home from about 10am til 12:30 & again at about 3 til 4:30 but at FDC she just races around with the other kids & then goes down from 10am til 1:30-2pm, but is then raggy & tired by 5:30pm when we are trying to make dinner & stuff, I have asked they give her 2 sleeps but apparently she kicks & screams... At home I lay her in her cot pop the plug in & wlak out & then she sings about 2 hours later & I let her go til she calls out "Mum I'm ready!" LOL....
I just realised this morning that she doesnt really ahve a great diet, so I am gonna try to be a bit better, I make all finger foods for her for FDEC, like mini quiches & vegie pastry parcels etc... But still...
Ok I am feeling a tad guilty & only 14 wks til I am on mat leave!!!
