Babies Born June 2006 #44

Popping in too... just got my Secret Santa Mission.... Sooooo exciting! Ho Ho Ho!

Verity is on her way into meet DH in the city on the train by herself. DH is co-ordinating a staff quiz night and she is going to be his assistant. It's being held at a Japanese restaurant. Verity did the PowerPoint presentation (there are visual questions) so clever of her, I never learnt how to use PowerPoint.

Went to French this morning. Only just got there. Finding it very hard to adapt to this wretched day light savings. I was up until 1am last night chatting to DH while he did the finishing touches to the quiz (and playing BB Pacman... got my Highest score! LOL) Well done Amanda too you arcade queen you :) I'm also addicted to Mah Jong LOL

Love your new Username too Jess :) So many new ones around hey? Glad my Username thread has become a sticky so I can keep track.

Got a cheeky monkey (Niall) beside me keeping on climbing up onto the desk beside me and reeking havoc... better see if I can distract him...

Tali - I know silly having it on a Tuesday night! Last year she was at a different dance school and it was on a Sunday during the day, much better. Just sent you a PM about the house.

Ali - glad to hear everything is going well, I forget you are now 3 hours behind us (and you too Julie)

Bath - I am so addicted to Mahjong!!!! I have stayed up so late some nights playing trying to get the top score. I am 3rd, got as high as 2nd but just can't quite crack the big one! My eyes are boggling by the time I finish. Did Verity learn PP at school? I can only do very basic stuff. She will make an excellent assistant. Are you not a fan of daylight savings?

Very busy day at work today but I just had my coffee, so a bit more energised, should keep me kicking for the next half hour or so!!!

Hiya Mel :) yeah I am struggling with DLS... it still feels like time is going too fast... I'm always looking at the clock going "sheesh... is that the time already!?" :( And now Wade is screaming "I want to go to bed" in broad day light instead of twilight. Oh well... I'll get over it. PML at us playing MahJong so determinedly :lol: my favourite design is the temple (number 8 in the sequence I think) what's yours? I'm third highest in Pacman... if i can get into that "zone" (ie almost hypnotised) I can do really well... I either do really well or really badly.... not alot in between LOL

Cool name Jess!

Thanks for everyone's kind words regarding my nan's passing.

Maya- are you feeling any better today? It sounds like your being really tough on yourself. I can really understand your frustration on the phone thing though, its happened to me before, i recently got a new ph and had trouble trasnfering, i tried to write all the numbers down before the carries switched over but still managed to loose a few numbers.

The boys are doing well. Tyron has gain 400g since birth and grown 3.5cm! Nixon loves giving him kisses and cuddles, did his first thing to him today. went into his room and partly my fault i left a thing of talc powder out, he put/threw/lobbed not sure it into Tyron's cot whilst he was sleeping. He woke crying and had a little red mark on his head, went away though so luckily not too bad.

that is clever of Verity doing the powepoint! I worked in IT for 8yrs and still never learnt how to do it!

Rory- your dh should be a hire a hubby! he is such a handy man, my dh is not too good with his hands. well he did do all our retaining walls in melb and the gardens which were great but he really doesnt know much in the renovation department.

Mel- ahh brings back memories re Chelsea and her performance! i was a dancer up until age 17 and had many concerts, estedfords, costumes, rehersals etc. If i ever have a daughter im sure she'll make me sew all her dance outfits seings i dont even know how to sew a button on a shirt lol! Tap dancing was my fav!

anyway best be off got a couple of friends coming to say hi then the lady from my tupperware distributor ship is coming to chat to me about becoming a manager! they've given me an offer so going to get some more info before i decide if its for me!

you wouldnt believe how hard it is to get a melways up here! I realise it far away but they all stock the brisbane one it like just because we are part of the same state they think we might drive down there for the day and will need the street directory but wont ever leave the state. I dont think they realise brisy is a two day drive away lol. Anyway a book store said that they should be getting one in sometime next week so hopefully I will get that but they didnt want to take my name and number so I guess they dont sell that many.

May had her swim lesson today and is doing really well she is the only one in her class who hasn't got a float on and is swimming freestyle pretty well just forgets to turn her head to breath.

well I have someone who is quite smelly at my feet so must go and do the mummy thing..

Hiya Nic and Tali :)

Wade has also been known to lob things into Niall's cot and hitting him :( The worst thing that he used to do though was come running into Niall's bedroom just as I was at that delicate moment of placing him down for a nap arggggh! He is only just stopping doing that. And if I had the door closed he would bash on it until i opened it... very trying times. He is also pushing Niall over when he is protective of his toys... drives me nuts.

I've seen the new Melway's out recently. Going to buy one too myself. There are so many new roads here in Melbourne now... our 2002 one is nearly obsolete.

Boys in my bedroom making mischief... better go *trudge trudge*

Mel- We are only 2 hours behind you because WA is in its 2nd year of the trial for DLS. I have to say I am enjoying it as Tori is FINALLY sleeping decent hours, usually 8/8:30 pm- 6:30 am and from Midday till 2:30 for her nap which is very managable.

I went out and hit the shops on my own this arvo as DH finished work at lunch time, it was so great to just wonder around on my own, i bought some new mat bra's as the ones I am wearing at the moment were the ones I bought when pg with Tori and I have almost been wearing them for 2 years straight now, got some underwear and pj's to pack in my hospital bag, and a few more chrissy presents.
I also turned into a shop lifter OMG (not on purpose) but a couple of reels of cotton and an iron on patch slipped down in to the bags from other shops and got missed at the checkout.......... I didnt realise till I got home, and I am afraid I am too tired to go back to the shops to pay for them now.

Anyway I better go, Tori has her cranky pants on this afternoon, so better go and distract her.

Wow Ali packing your hospital bag this really mean not long to go now!!!

Bath the mummy duties are never ending. isnt it knock off time yet lol but you are much closer to kiddy bed time than me I am just starting witching hr arggggggggggggggggggggggggg will be back when its over..

Hi all - I am now on MAT LEAVE!!!!

Bummer is I am too shagged to move so am about to hit the sack - its a pain cause I have so much I want to do. But I know sleep is what I need right now, so ciao bellas :)

yippppppppy its nearly time for your baby rory to come and meet his/her mummy, daddy and big brother. enjoy your sleep !!!!
all these babie comming is making me want one too but I know I'm just not ready yet I need kai to be a big girl who will let me enjoy my last ever baby. gee that sounds sad when you say that last ever.

Bath - I still laugh thinking of Wade asking to go to bed early! I love DLS, I love being able to go for a walk after dinner when kids are in bed and it still be light and reasonably mild outside. So far the kids haven't been affected, I still try to put them to bed at the same time, pre DLS. So far so good! We are Mahjong addicts, I love screen 4 (when clicking the left arrow), its hard but fun. That seems to be the only one I can get a high score from. Have no idea how Yael managed 604! It is my mission to try and bet it lol!

Nic - thats fantastic news about Tyron, growing very well. We had to put a lock on Marleys bedroom door as Chelsea would sneak to her door, get a chair and open it and go in and wake her up! Thankfully we don't have to lock it now but it was very frustrating. She also tried to get in the cot, with Marley in it. I can't sew either, thankfully nowdays they hire costumes. Tap is fantastic, I love the sound and watching their feet. Chelsea wants to try it but I might wait a year or two and let her just do one type of dancing. Hope the Tuppaware meeting goes well, I think you'd make a great manager.

Tali - hope you get your melways. It will make looking for houses easier if you can see exactly where they are. Well done to May, sounds like she is a very good swimmer. Hope the witching hour wasn't too bad.

Ali - I should have asked you about DLS earlier. I was supposed to ring one of my students in WA today and I couldn't work out what time it would be over there, she would have loved me ringing at 7am! NOT. Glad Tori is sleeping better, must make you feel better having a good nights sleep and not getting up at the crack of dawn? Sounds like you had a good day shopping. PML about the shoplifting, I have done similiar when shopping with the pram, put stuff on top and forget about it and not notice until I am putting the pram in the car!

Rory - YAY on finishing work. Go and enjoy a good nights sleep.

Rory yay on been on Maternity leave, hope you feel nice and rest and have fun starting to nest, lol.

Ali not long to go for you either, I so can't wait for the arrival of all the new bubba's.

Well it was Wyatt's 3rd birthday yesterday, I will be making his cake for tomorrow, I'll be making the number 3 that looks like a bird (hope it turns out). Chicken poxs are slowly disappearing so back to school next week. Well we got rejected for two houses and are still waiting on a reply for one that we applied for 3 weeks ago, I rang the RE yesterday to see what was going on and she told me "well the owners have the applications and I can't rush their decisions". Well I wasn't trying to rush any decision, I was just wondering how it was going. So I had a bit of a cry to DH over the phone, we have to be out of this house by the 22nd of Nov, the next lot of houses we can look through aren't til next week and I'm starting to worry what if we don't have a house by settlement, what happens to us, we have nowhere to go. Hmmm, ok bored you enough with my woes, will get back to house work now.

Hi everyone else.

hugs xoxo

Happy birthday Wyatt for yesterday! sorry i missed that Amanda.
i look forward to seeing your next cake creation!
glad chicken pox are dissapearing, gosh not looking forward to the sickness traveling through one kid to another, but i guess its pretty unavoidable living under the same roof! Atleast they should hopefully never get it again. and bummer if it was another month or so on Cody would have had the vacination for it. Nixon had his last week.
i really hope you find a nice home soon, i know the pressure is on could u contact the agent and just adivse your still looking really hard and maybe need another week to actually move out or something?

Yay for being on Maternity leave Rory! rest up now while you can!

Amanda - a big happy birthday to Wyatt! I am sure your cake will be awesome,
they always are. Glad to hear the chicken pox are getting better. Quarantine will finally be over. Must be frustrating waiting to get a house, have you got a back up plan JIC?

Nic - how is the feeding going?

Poor Chelsea is still recovering from her late night Tuesday. Today she had swimming at 10am and on the way home she fell asleep in the car. When we got home, she lay down on the couch and said she was tired. We had lunch and I hung some washing out and came back in and she was fast asleep on the couch. Poor thing, she almost never has a sleep during the day now so she must really be tired. I've just let her relax and chill out on the couch. Thankfully no dancing classes tomorrow. I just made a yummy batch of white choc chip cookies, they smell so good. Might have to go and have a cuppa and a bikkie!!!

nup no good Mel. Its 1 step forwards 3 steps back it seems.
The sideline tube thing i got from the hosptial on wed just ahsnt been succesful, im slowing thinking this may never happen.
On the upside i added up how much booby milk ive already frozen appox 8650mls which would do about 12days worth of feeding! On top of that again that ive squeezed out and he has already drunk since being home from hosp.
Trent is back at work on Monday though so expressing may become a little harder on my own.

oh yummo choc chip cookies! ahhhh im suppose ot be a good girl i wanna start loosing weight asap, not being able to excerise doesnt help my cause though! i wanna loose 10kg by May do u think its acheiveable with xmas in between?!
I hope Chels wakes up nicely after her nap she must have been really nakkered

Oh Nic, I feel for you! Having not been an overly successful breastfeeder myself, I wish I could offer you some words of wisdom. Don't forget to do what feels right and you'll know what that is. Your doing great, you should give yourself a huge pat on the back. That expressed amount is just mammoth!!!! I think your weight goal would definately be achievable, its not way out there and you have given yourself plenty of time. Maybe worry about it after xmas, that still gives you 5 mths and then you don't have to focus on it too much during the xmas period with all that yummy food!

Chels did wake up a bit better but she didn't really come good until after dinner. She got a bit upset when I told her she couldn't watch all of Better Homes and Gardens, she got to watch Fast Ed at the start (he is her favourite!) and then went to bed happy! DH has been on nightshift all this week, so very quiet night. Was supposed to chat to my GF in Brisbane but she has lost her voice, so no chat tonight. Might have to go and play some more Mahjong!!!

Just popping in to say that AstroLady is loading up all my new Avvies!!! I've seen Nickers, and RoseHannah's (my sis) sofar... gonna go look for Jess!!!

Yes! Jess and her 6 babies are up too!

Bath - Jess and Nic's look fantastic, love Jess' with all her brood. Wonder if thats the largest avatar (kids I mean!), good job fitting them all in. Will try to find rosehannah's but I bet that's just as good.

Just had a big thunder storm, heaps of lightening and a good downpour. My brother is away for the weekend, so my SIL came to visit with my nieces. It was a great night with Thai takeaway and the kids had a ball.

Hope everyone else is having a fun weekend :)

Hiya Mel :) Ooh wish we'd got that thunderstorm! I love them. I've been playing Bubbles :redface: Have a little addiction developing... hehe

I almost rang my sis to tell her her avvy is up... she's been waiting so long... I've also seen HEAPS of new ones: Hoobly, Rols (SLyder) Jen... AstroLady has been one busy girl tonight!

Oh yum Thai! DH cooked some lemon pepper crusted salmon, steamed asparagus and salad. And now it's time for a hot chocolate and my favourite Le Petit Ecolier biscuits...

Bath, the storm must have bypassed you, I love a good storm too.

Just saw rosehannah's av, fantastic! I have been noticing all the new ones, they look great. LOL about the games addiction, I have been playing mahjong again! I haven't tried many of the others, might have to give Bubbles a go.

Oh I love salmon, its one of my favourite foods. Sounds delicious, you have to give me the recipe. DH doesn't eat fish, so I only cook it when he is on afternoon shift, the kids love it.

I have been naughty and eating those marshmallow Santa's from the supermarket! Already had 2!

Enjoy your hot chocolate and exotic biscuits LOL!

Thankyou bath for Avvy...its gorgeous!
YAY...my 1000th post!
Well we've had rain for most of the day but for the past three hours have had nothing but thunder and lightening.DH was supposed to be going to the Poker Regionals but decided that he wasn't feeling like it after he worked all day, so after dinner we went for a drive to see if his mate was working. Both Dh and DD3 are asleep on their repective couches atm, Dh 's leg fell down and woke him up but he went back to sleep.
Pat is coming along, he is still on ventolin through the nebuliser but I try to space that out as he screams and just gets himself worked up over it.Today he woke up with a wheeze again, but I gave him a dose of prednisolone and he was ok after that.
The older kids are in euroa this weekend for Wool Week.They enjoy going there and it sure brightens up my Aunts week.A couple of months ago, you might recall someone ran up the back of my aunts car, well they received a chq in the mail to either fix their car up or to buy another car. They have decided to buy another car as their little colt was not running the best, so Mum and Dad went to Albury today and bought them a little Barina, so of course my Aunts are over the moon.
It's just started to rain heavy again now, since 9am this morning we have had 18mm of rain and boy do we need it.
Well, better go before I bore all of you, catch you all soon

Oh no you're not boring us Jess! I'm just sitting here smiling at your avvy :) That's great you've been getting heaps of rain... the air smells great hey? And it will hopefully green things up a bit, our lawns have been browning off already. I hope Pat's asthma comes good... that must be worrying when he wheezes. I hope your older kids have fun with your aunt and that she has fun with her new car! There's certainly something good in the air ATM. I went Chrissy shopping in the city this afternoon and it was like everyone was in a happy mood. People were smiling, this little old guy chatted to me on the train, everyone was pleasant and friendly... hope whatever it is hangs around :)

ok... one more game of MahJong then i'd better call it a night!

I tend to go on and on about things Bath thats why i say I'm boring you.

I can't believe this time next month I will be 32! I am getting so old.

I have started to talk to DD1's bio aunt lately and she has been telling me about her brother(DD1's father). Just after I got married to my DH, he wed his DP and after 4 yrs of being together they split last year and he has custody of the children because she wanted a social life. When I first heard this, I thought to myself, finally karma has come and bitten him in the arse. But then I thought about it again, and I thought poor guy, his now ex wife only dumped so she could have a better social life and go out and get with as many Tom, **** and Harrys as she could. Apparently She was doing it to him, while they were married as well. I'm not going to do it for a while but as soon as I think she is ready, she will be meeting her bio dad....What do you girls think? Good or Bad idea???

Hmmm, does DD1 have contact with her Bio aunt? If she's nice I'd start there... where does she live? and where does your ex live? people do change... maybe run it past your ex and see where he is at in life. It would be so tricky, follow you heart Jess.

ATM she is in Melbourne and the only contact she has is either through the internet( MSN) or by me talking to her.
I'm actually terrified of talking to my ex,because when we split we didn't really leave on the best terms (how would you feel if you found your fiance in bed with one of your so called best friends????)He is about 45 mins away from me.

Jess, I have a habit of going on myself so pls don't apologise!

Its a very hard situation for you. Does DD1 ask about her dad? Was she young when you two split? I would say it depends on ex DH's attitude about it and whether you think both of them can handle it. I totally agree with Bath, follow your heart and I'm sure it will guide you in the right direction.

After too many games of mahjong, its time for bed. Night girls, don't stay up too late chatting!!!!!

DD1 knows about L***(his first name) as she calls him, I have never hidden anything from any of my kids. She also knows that she has 2 little sisters that live with him.

Mel- I had just found out i was pg with DD1 when we broke up so no she doesn't remember him. She met him once but she was only 1.

It might be good if she got to know her dad Jess. As long as he doesn't go breaking her heart like he did to you.... but even then if you are there for her through thick and thin it won't be too risky. It helps to know where you've come from and even if it's not the perfect scenario then that can teach us stuff too. I was kept away from my dad for a few years after my parents split and it took a long time to heal the rift. Infact it wasn't until I was an adult that i got to see the full story and make sense of everything. On a practical level it's often good to know your parents for health reasons. She has his genes and if your DH has health problems then it could be a clue for you and her when she gets older. Anyhow, as you know you don't need to rush into anything. Keep up the contact with Bio aunt and see what information she is able to provide.

Thunder! yay! I'm off to bed now too.... nothing better than lying in bed listening to a thunderstorm! :)

Tali – glad the haircut attitude improves with age – can’t wait for Oscar to stop being so daft about it. Good luck with the house hunting – sounds scary long distance. Spot the none original Aussie chick here but what’s a Melways?????

Mel – sounds like Chelsea had a ball at her concert and great that your were all so proud. Shame about it taking a year for your to get out of the concert hall! Bless her for being so tired and falling asleep on the sofa. Yummy at the white choc chip cookies – are there any left now????

Ali – glad you are getting decent sleep now. Lol at you being a shoplifter (albeit an accidental one).

Rory –Big YAY on you being on Mat leave now – how lovely!

Amanda – Happy birthday to Wyatt for the 1st – hope he had a lovely day and am looking forward to seeing your cake. Hope you get a nice house soon – sounds very stressful for you.

Nic – sorry to hear not so good on the feeding stakes. Hope things improve for you soon hun, especially with DH going back to work. Sounds like you’ve got your own milk bank in the freezer!

Bath/Jess – great new Avvy!

Jess – yay for your 1000th post. Pat sounds lik ehe’s going through it abit with his wheeze poor chappy. Hehe at you feeling old at 32 – wish I was there again! Good luck with your DD1 meeting her bio dad situ – no advice for you on that one as haven’t been there but I’m sure you’ll know what’s best for your dd.

Had quite a nice week here. Spent Wednesday and Thursday mornings with friends and their kids then Friday morning at playgroup so busy busy this week. Took the boys swimming this morning which they both loved then had a friend’s 3rd birthday party to go to this arvo so tested out my new camera that arrived on Thursday – bought it off the net which I have never done before and was so scared as I got an amazing deal but all seems ok so yay I have a new toy! Off to the red bull air races tomorrow which the boys are looking forward to – everytime it’s on the news they are glues to the TV. We went last year and it was great lthough we ended up getting sunburnt as it was such a hot day and very little shade so even with hats and sunscreen you still get cooked – supposed to be 30 degrees tomorrow which will be sizzling weather again – hopefully not as bad as last year though.

Anyway, better go off to bed now. Take care and have a nice rest of weekend

Julie x

Julie - the melways is just the melbourne street maps you would just call a different name in WA, They call them something else up here as everytime I asked for one at the shop they looked at me like I was from Mars.
I hope it not to hot for you today. it would be great to watch the air races I hope your new toy gets some good shots.

Jess- you avvy bath did a great job. sorry dont know what I would do in the same situation, maybe use the bio aunt as a sounding board to see what your ex things as he may not feel ready to meet DD yet. Good luck.

Mel - how funny with BHG zayden stayed up once again to watch it bringing out his mag and ficking through the pages until he could read and watch what was on the TV, and saying everytime that they told us about the mag " I got it already" dont know who he thought he was talking too, he now wants to make the girls the rocking horse!! how hard did that look!

Nic - sorry about the feed problems I too know how you feel always remember that you are doing all that you can do. sounds like you have plenty of milk, hope it improves for you soon.

haven't done much here I might take the kids to bunnings today to do some craft, just brought the book 19 mins for the book club it quite good never been in a book club before so I will see how I go.
Kai is now talking all the time now with real words but she thinks they are so if you talk back to her she get really excited and "talks" real loud and fast.

Well better go get dressed and ready for the day have a good one

Hi girls - Flynn is snoozing so time for a nice long post!

Jess your av is fantastic (well done Bath - you better start working on mine soon LOL!!). As for DD1 meeting her dad I think it is a good idea - if he has changed and makes her feel welcome then all the better but if he is a $hit it is better (IMO) that she finds this out for herself, as hard as that may be, than imagine in her head that he is some lovely guy and her mean mother kept him from her. I think it would be better to grow up knowing (or at least having a child's inkling) about your parents than to turn 18 and have a whole fantasy world come crashing down. I am actually thinking of a friend's nephew - her brother was 16 when the boy was born and pretty well since the kid was 2 he has had sole custody cause his ex-GF/son's mum is a complete train wreck who doesn't care about any of her kids. Now my friend's brother is a great dad (the boy is now 12) who lets him see his mum whenever he can and regularly drives him to Sale to see her - the family even bought a house down that way so they had somewhere to stay while the boy was with his mum. But the mum keeps making promises she doesn't keep and breaking the boy's heart, but like I said it is better that the boy have the love and support of his dad who tries to let him see his mum than for him to create a fantasy picture of her.

Jess, you think you ramble LOL!!!

Tali I look forward to when kids are old enough to do the Bunnings craft thing - DH is always buying stuff there and it will be great when he can take the kids and leave me at home alone.

Julie have fun at the races - that would be such a buzz!

Bath I am like you - a big fan of the rain. Bummer is DH wanted to finish our side fence today (it looks fantastic - we haven't had a side fence for about 5 years!!) We are having salmon tonight (was going to be last night but ended up going to an Indian restaurant with friends and their 2yo girl - lots of fun!!)

Nickers I hope things are on the improve for you :hugs:

I have been really taking it easy since I have been on leave - its been 2 whole days and I feel much more relaxed. I am not stressing about cleaning everything in one day and have spent my days pottering through my list of jobs and napping when Flynn does.

That said he is asleep now and I should be napping, but DH insisted that I check out the maternity bras he googled - he "made" me buy 3 new ones and a matching set of undies and has insisted I visit DFO and buy another 2!! I gotta admit I am sick of the 4 I have - I have worn nothing else since I was pg with Flynn, so that would make it almost 2 years. And to think I have 3 enviro shopping bags filled with lacy bras and undies that I can no longer wear, stashed away for that long-off post baby-and-BF time (circa 2010 at this rate LOL!!!)

My mum and stepdad are going to take Flynn for the day - they were planning on going to the Whittlesea Show but have decided against it because of the rain. So I think they will take him to Highpoint Shopping Centre instead.

Better go - I stocked up on mince at the market yesterday so I better cook it or freeze it.

Ciao bellas :)

just a quick one looks liek avaters are uploaded!

I love mine thanks again Bath and Jess your's looks unreal also!
congrats on your 1000th post Jess!

Thanks guys, i dont like to keep on going on about the feeding, i dont want a medal for my effort i just want to be able to feed my baby the way nature intended but he doesnt want to jump on the band wagon with me. I expressed a lot of emotions i didnt know i had with myself last night as i was just with Ty, parents had Nixon while dh was at a wedding.
ive talking through some of them with DH thismorning but think i might talk to someone if my feelings keep getting the better of me.

sorry for my lack of personals atm and of recent i've been a bit wrapped up in my own world so appologies for that.

Thanks ladies I always knew I could count on you.
DD1 as I have already told you, has known about her "other" family since she was old enough. She knows that L*** got married and had two little girls, one is only 3 months younger than her! She also knows that her Ex-Step-mum is a very unstable person.
I was talking to DD1's aunt the other day and she was telling me that they have spoken about her in the past but have never told her who they have been talking about,if that makes sense? My ex's expartner is the person that I am really worried about as she is very malicious and IMO very dangerous. So you can see why I don't want her to be involved.
Sorry again!

Jess - like I said, don't apologise. Thats why we are all here as a sounding board for times like this. I can understand why you would be wary, esp if ex's ex-partner is not a very stable person. Hopefully you can keep her out of the picture. I know you will do whats right for your kids, you always have.

Bath - the rain was fantastic last night. It bucketed down for ages and I had the most devine sleep in ages. When I woke up, it was still raining and we have a tin roof, I love the sound of rain on the roof and better still, the kids slept until 9am! It hasn't stopped raining here all day and its only 13 degrees outside.

Julie - not many bikkies left, I have been eating far too many! The Red Bull race looks fantastic. I am sure you'll have a great day and remember to slip, slop, slap. What camera did you get, I am looking at buying a new one too and have no idea what I want?

Tali - my DH is not a very handy person and we laughed when watching how easy he made the rocking horse look. It was so cute, wish he could make it. Have fun at Bunnings.

Rory - glad to hear you are getting some time to relax. There is nothing better than having nice underwear, whether it be maternity bras or not. And there are so many pretty, feminine ones around now. Pity about Flynn missing out on the show but it wouldn't be much fun in this rain. The Dandenong one is on next week I think?

Nic - hang in there and you do deserve recognition for your effort! Keep talking about your feelings, don't let them get the better of you. Talk to whoever you feel comfortable with, it all seems better if you can get it out. We are all here for you. Don't apologise, you have every right to be wrapped up your own world right now. Sending your big :hugs:

Only quickly left the house this morning to get the paper and milk, and it was freezing!!!! Having a quiet one inside today, feels like a real winters day but my garden and lawn are loving it!

Enjoy your Sunday :)

i dont want a medal for my effort

Oh Nickers you do deserve one though :hugs:

No apologies Jess - that's what we're here for ;)

Mel - thanks for the tip on the Dandy Show - no doubt the grandparents will take Flynn! Today they took him to Highpoint and tired him out - I had a nice 2-hour nap and pottered around while DH tried to finish the fence between showers - he is like a man obsessed at the moment!!

Rory...OMG.. today is what gestation Pat arrived!

Well, I was talking to the bio aunt last night and she told me that her and her other brother were coming up last night. So, we decided to meet them on the side of the road in Corowa. We clicked again straight away and have decided to keep the meetings going.
This morning though, she asked L*** if she could get a lift into Corowa so she could see some friends, and he asked if she was seeing me....she thought quickly and said no, but I think the games up, he knows that we have been talking and i don't think it will be long until he wants to see his daughter.
