Ok I’m starting my replies from just after my announcement because I’ve been AWOL and I know I’ll confuse myself if I start beforehand.

Ali – It was a “we” but mostly Matt picked it. I had spotted a different one that I liked but he was in love with this one and it was a darn fine choice  It would be good to see the Swannies beat WC again in the final. Especially with it being the day before Ryan’s naming day! The pictures of your family are beautiful too hun! I regularly play around with the colours & stuff in pictures. And congrats on the anniversary!!!!

Neeny – hehe were you getting Amanda’s boys all sticky & dirty with ice cream?? I think Aleise and Ryan should meet. We went down for his weigh in yesterday and all he did was look at the chicks  I’m glad you had fun though! The photos you sent both of your day out & Matts birthday were beautiful! I’m glad Aleise is going ok in care & hopefully you’ll enjoy getting back to work too! Hahaha re the AJ comment!!!! Could be worse, you could have married a “pusser” in case I haven’t said it yet, congrats on your new niece!! Your cooking efforts sound so yummy!!

Rory – There’s nothing much to tell!! We were watching they footy, I was lying on the couch, he got down on one knee with the hereditary diseases / conditions, I hear you is all I can say. All the women on my mums side have had breast cancer & mum has had 2 major scares now All anyone can do is think positive!

IK – these aldi nappies are sounding like I need to try them. I’ve just started putting Ryan in the crawler size of babylove over night because he’s starting to over flow the infant ones with wee. Are you feeling better now? Losing your voice can be such a pain. I hope your mum behaves while you can’t speak! Your highchair sounds good. I realy need to get in lay buy one on these!

Enigma – welcome back!! We’ve missed you Nerdy :P

Rac – thanks for the congrats. I still can’t believe Ronan is 6 months already!!!! And that you’re thinking of #2. you go girl!!

KL – I can’t really say anything about your incidents because others have already said everything I think!

Amanda – yay for school holidays! Warm weather never goes astray either (unless you’re like Bath & love cardy weather ) your boys look like such dolls! I hope Kailens op goes ahead!!! I think everyone loves colouring in. its very therapeutic!

Bath – how do you go with soy in your coffee? Its taken me months to readjust to soy. To bad Goodes beat West for the brownlow. Although you have to admit Goodes has had a dynamite year! I agree with you re baby bath products. All Ryan has is warm water. I just don’t see a need for wash’s & lotions yet. Is your day better so far today?

Karen – how are you going sweetie? Taking it easy I hope?

Nic – I hope you’re having fun in Sydney? Are you looking forward to Sunday? I know I am!

Dee – nothing wrong with still being in PJs. I would be too if I could be!! He might be getting more wind with the bottle too that’s hurting his tummy? I’ve got my fingers crossed Lachlan will be settled in time for you to go to your events. Don’t completely despair yet hun!

Me – well being a control freak I have started planning & organising already. 12/01/2008 is the day, 5pm-ish ceremony. I’ve chosen the dress, Calla Lily theme. Chosen a reception place. It will be a beach / park wedding in Wollongong  I had another job interview yesterday that I am really confident about so here’s hoping! Ryan was weighed & measured yesterday. He’s now 6.8kg & 63cm long. And speaking to my sister, she’s already putting gravy, chocolate topping and a wide array of things on her 10 week old’s dummy!!!!! GRRRRR silly girl!
