Hi all

CONGRATULATIONS NICKERS! SO HAPPY FOR YOU!

Well I had a friend who started TTC #2 straight away 'cause she wanted to get her baby years out of the way all at once. I lost contact with her but she seemed to handle it well. Each to their own I say. People are asking us when we're having another already and we just say "Can't afford it!" Also I don't want to go through that again 'cause there will be no one to look after Aleise whilst I'm sick with #2!!

I've been MIA too 'cause we've had problems with net connection. Had to have software re-installed. Spent about 1 hour catching up.. gee you girls can talk!!

Got an email from *S* and she said she's doing okay and had some puter probs too. Anyone else heard from her? Email me if you have neeny1870@hotmail.com

Will try some personals now.. sorry if I've missed anyone in the process but I haven't been able to get online lately.

Nickel: $300 dental bill was for me darls! My health fund doesn't pay much on dental care and I think I should drop out of extras! However Aleise may need braces etc down the track so maybe not!

Mel: Well I was hoping to have lost at least 2kg by now but I've cut down on chocolate I can't give it up all together or I'd be a total cow! I'm a chocoholic something shocking! I hope to loose at least 10kg by my brother's wedding (Also April) so here's hoping! Oh and we don't leave for our holiday until 27 March so we should catch up. You leaving this week?

Dee (7th): Which QUT campus you at? I'm at Gardens Point in Brisbane City and will be there Tuesdays from 27 Feb. Willbe good to see you if you're at the same uni!
What degree you doing? I'm finishing my HR degree and have 9 more subjects to go.

IK: I understand about the bottles gift for your g/f at her baby shower. I'm sure the giver didn't mean anything by it (by insisting she feed one way or another). Your g/f could always use bottles for EBF just in case. Unless she sells them on ebay or something. I was planning to BF and it couldn't be so there's no guarantee that we all can and its good to have a plan B sometimes. I would've given a voucher or something though. And buying formula is not something you should do without consulting your paediatrician first anyway!

Bath: Sorry to get Wade mixed up with Amanda.. she has a boy Wyatt, Maybe they'r both toilet training atm? I'm soooo far behind its not funny!

Okay well a quick update on Aleise. She too blows raspberries and has been doing so for about 2 months. She's now trying to get up on all fours and rock back and forth but not doing much else. She also claps her hands and thinks she's rather clever (who am I to argue otherwise). I love the comment on the bubbas being "floor polishers" as she is definately one of those! REmember the Kitkat add "baby mop" where the German mum had her baby covered in a mop costume so she had time to eat the Kitkat? Mmm now there's a thought!
I think she's getting her top teeth too as she's chewing everything! She loves her solids so much (she's on brekky, lunch and dinner now) she whinges if I miss it!

Well better get some work done whilst she's still asleep.

Valentines day: I hope I get chocolates as it would be the only excuse to splurge now I'm on WW!

Hi to all and sorry for not more detailed personals but its hard catching up after a week!

Chat again soon.
*Hugs*
