Hi All,
sorry i have been off the radar a bit but we have some exciting news!! No not pregnant, but we bought a house!! Im so excited. the pest/building inspects get done Mon/Tues so fingers crossed.
Its in the area my DH has longed to get back into and it is a lovely place just thought we would never afford.
FIl is going to kind of live with us, the house has two entries and the wall is knocked out but we will close it back up and its like a granny flat, so he has a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, lounge/dining and porch.
we have 3 bedrooms.
The house has only ever had 1 owner. Sadly the husband passed away unexpectidly just last month. The wife needs help around so has bought a villa up in Newcastle to be close with family. So for her money isnt really the key and we got it at an awesome price.
It was such a spontaneous buy, the RA rung DH on Thurs night and told us about this house and the proce reduction, we went on Friday and made an offer there and then, they accepted we signed the docs and its sold!!
as all of this was happening there was another open and lots of ppl came to look! So i feel we got lucky.... we have lots of big ideas on what we would like to do, some of it b4 we move in some of it over time. either way finally we can work on something that is ours and settle in an area we want the children to go to school,sport and grow up in.
Today we took all the family through to have a look.
The place is 60yrs old but immaculant. even under the house there is not a drop of dirt.

oh and other exciting news Tyron can kinda sit! he isnt too stable yet but he puts his hans out infront of him and can balance for a little bit! He even got game and grabbed for a ball and didnt topple over lol

Amanda- Poor cody. that will be a hard task keeping him off it as mcuh as possible for 6 weeks. any plan of attack there?
Maya- wow Oscar! its funny i came in here and read this tonight because i actually attempted to get Nix to poo in the potty but no go. Ive been talking to him about thwe toilet for a while now, where the wee's and poo's go etc Late this afternoon i took his nappy off and remembered he had not pooed for the day. So i thought i'd be game and see what happened. I brought the potty from the bathroom where it has always been, into the loungeroom and told him he can sit on it to do wees and poos. He sat on it but nothing.
Then he took himself to the bathroom, came out and said weeeee!!
so i went and had a look and he weed in the bathroom, silly mummy took the potty away from where he was used too. But i looked down and saw a tiny nugget! Knowing a poo was inevadable i attempted for him to sit on the potty and the toilet, but nothing. Gave up in the end and put his nappy on. Within minutes of the nappy going on he pooed! So i think he still thinks this is where poo goes. I never expected him to pick up on it yet but its worth trying every now and again!

Mel- look forward to seeing a pic of you all dolled up! Im a pants girl too but felt so fantastic to wear a dress recently at a wedding we went to!
Tali- you sound like me last year! It was April last yr DH had to come back to Sydney and start working and in May when Nix & I came up, far out a year goes quickly!

I've had lots of friends announce their pg news recently its an excting year! a few of them have been trying for a long time so its just the best news. (One couple 7yrs)
