Hi girls, I thought I would have heaps to catch up on but thankfully you haven't been too chatty LOL!!!

Rory - sorry babe, but I wish you had a mobile that I could have called you on. My aunty lives in Gladstone Park, just a quick trip from your house. Would have loved to catch up. I head over that way a bit, so definately try to catch up next time. How weird that a slurpee plays havoc with Ollie's tummy. And they are so nice on a hot day. Steer clear of those for a while.

Nic - you are right, Chelsea starting school is scary but exciting. I think we have 3 starting school, Chelsea, Liz and Allanah. Such big girls now. I think the first few times on formula might make them a bit constipated but it soon clears. I used to make some bottles with a little bit more water to help things along.

Jess - Liz sounds just as excited as Chelsea!

Dee - gotta love the idea of free schooling! I hope they sort out your accommodation for you, but like you said, they have 5+ months.

Ali - its so nice to have a passion that you can follow through. You go for it. And what a great thing to get into. Great weight gain for Liam. Poor Tori, I will tell you Marley's fat lip story below, our Junie babies always seem to do things together.

Tali - glad you got home safely. You guys do so well to do such a long trip with 3 kids. How exciting that you and your sister might be pregnant together. Great that you are trying for #4. Maya and I were thinking of "09" babies, so it might be a big year. Chelsea was doing her fair share of running around that day, Marley is a little bit more reserved, but they all had fun together. Bit scary in the floods. Is it still raining pretty bad?

I had a GF come over for lunch on Wed. I was in the kitchen cooking a cake while Chlesea and Marley were playing in the front lounge. I heard an awful scream, ran in and Marley turned around covered in BLOOD! I was so freaked out, it was just streaming out of her mouth like a tap. Chelsea was crying, I wasn't even sure what happened. I raced Marley into the kitchen and kept wiping her mouth with a bib but it kept pouring out. It was all over my hands, her clothes, it looked so bad. I got ice and wrapped it in the bib and kept putting that were the blood was coming from. Marley was being so good, she stopped crying and let me put the ice on her lip. When it finally stopped, I could see 2 huge holes in her lip. Her front teeth went right through her lip. It looked like a big snake bite! I cleaned us up and she seemed OK. She went for a sleep and when she woke up, her lip was so fat and it hangs down. The puncture marks are so raised and they stick out. She keeps putting her hands in her mouth so I'm sure it hurts. I found out that Chelsea had pushed her away as she was trying to get some lollies that Chelsea had snuck out of the kitchen cupboards. I think the incident has finally made Chelsea realise how dangerous it can be to push and she has started being alot more careful around Malrey. Lets hope it continues.

Marley is off to another orientation day at creche tomorrow and she is staying for sleep time without me there. I hope it goes well. Chelsea is stayiing at my brother and SIL place tomorrow, her and my niece are having a movie night.

Hope everyone else is happy and well.
