    Hi Junie-ladies

    Had to come in to tell you all first that number 3 is a GIRL!!!!!!! I can?t believe it! I was so expecting another boy. I had had an inkling that it was a girl but I didn?t know if it was just wishful thinking. We had the most amazing scan, the lady was brilliant and talked me through everything and finally told us after much checking that she hadn?t missed ?anything? that it was a girl. She is very sure as we had a very good view ? as if she was sitting on a glass table and there was definitely no meat and 2 veg there! We also got some amazing 4d pictures which ill post as soon as I get the disk which is being sent as she didn?t have time to burn them there and then. I have sat with my mouth open for most of the journey home, I just can?t believe it ? now I can?t wait for time to tick around to when mum and dad wake up in England so I can tell them as I know mum will be exstatic ? god the amount of pink that will be crossing over the world will be huge!

    We had a great weekend away when mum and dad was here ? without kids! The first time id ever been away from them. I was so nervous but they didn?t seem to mind although Will wouldn?t come near me for a couple of hours when I got back so I think he was a little peed off that id deserted him. It was so lovely being able to go out for meals at night and just be able to go to different wineries (as the driver ? doh!) and be able to pop in and of the care every few minutes to look at things if we wanted without haing to drag kids out! I think it will be along time before we get that chance again!

    We had an interview at the school where we wanted to send the kids and fortunately got offered a place so im very relieved. Its only 5 minutes walk away and is an Anglican private school but is low fee so hopefully the bank wont be too broken. They teach from kindy right through to year 12 and it only opened last year so is all spangly and new. We really liked the headmaster and his thoughts and ideas about how the school is run so I think we should be reallt happy with them there. He took us round and showed us everything and we must have been there an hour!

    We?ve had an alarm fitted to our house and a chap is installing security screen this very minute over all the doors so we will feel lots safer in the house and be able to have all the doors open most of the time to let the breeze in which is great.

    Will finally do some personals - have a month to catch up on ? so very behind the times!

    Ali ? great news that Liam is sleeping better and the losec is working ? that was the only thing that worked with Will?s reflux. Wow at Tori knowing her Colours and shapes! Will talks great but doesn?t know any of those things yet.

    Misskel ? hi, im relatively new to the Junies and have only been around a year so haven? seen your twins ? wow ? pmsl at their granny naming them search and destroy! Good luck with production of the next masterpiece(s).

    Mel ? yes ill post belly pics although they might be clothed ones as I have abit of a grim looking tummy with huge stretch marks and a saggy blobby bit at the bottom from the previous two. You must be so proud of Chelsea getting chosen as class captain, that?s great. Can?t believe you were just walking around the sand sculpture thingy and saw hugh Jackman! That?s great that he had a quick chat with your hubby. I don?t think ive ever seen anyone famous in the flesh but then I?m so slow on the uptake sometimes that I think Madonna could walk into me and I wouldn?t realise it was her! Glad you had such a good time at the wedding ? your photos on fb are amazing ? you looked so nice in your new dress (not that im saying you don?t look nice normally but you know what I mean haha!).

    Amanda ? hope you are feeling better soon. Will pass some pink vibes your way so I hope you get your princess too. How?s Cody?s toe doing? Yay at being able to feel those first movement ? its so precious! Eeek at possible being twins!

    Tali ? HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZAYDEN! ? Hope he has a lovely day! How?s BHL?s huge bbq going? Hope he?s cooked you up some storming dinners on it already. Must look you up on fb ? im hopeless! Did you got up to the tablelands? I used to love gong there when we wree in Townville. We used to stay at this amazing place called possum valley which you had to drive about 2km down unsealed road to then you were just in the middle of rainforest, no sign of any other human, no mobile reception and no tv ? it was so peaceful. The cottage (2 very separate so you didn?t see the other guests) had a big damn in front of them with platypus in. We always saw a tree kangaroo when we went to as it was so isolated ? usually the same one I think as it was in the same tree but it had a baby with it one time ? so cute! Ouchy at your moving costs! Have to admit that ours were double that from Townsville to Perth but then we weren?t paying so didn?t worry too much. Saying that we paid nearly $1000 just to move 40 minutes down the road here and that was with me doing all the packing! Congrats on BHL getting the job in Melbourne and huge Yay that he?ll be home every night!

    Jess ? how did the move go? Hope you are all settled in now.

    Maya ? ouchy at Oscar dropping a can of food on his toe! ? how is his nail ? did it go black? Wow at him performing on the potty already!

    Nic ? huge congratulations on the house purchase, it sounds a great place. Wow at Tyron being able to sit already! He?s growing so fast, Will was over 9 months before he could. Not long now till Nixon?s 2nd birthday ? have you made any plans?

    Bath ? thanks for my new belly on my Av ? looks quite realistic! If only my face looked like that hehehhe.

    Rory ? don?t know how you manage to work and have the kiddies! I did it when I had one but not 2 ? I just can?t imagine when ill be able to get back to it! Love your ticker picture of the boys, they are so handsome!

    Hello to anyone I?ve missed. Better go and do something (or more than likely surf more!!) before the boys wake up

    Oh Julie, how fantastic!!!!!! A little princess joining the family. Congratulations. Get ready for the onslaught of pink things, but they are so cute though. Great that you got such a good scan, can't wait to see pics. I am so glad you enjoyed your time away, it must have felt so nice having that free and easy life (even if only for a weekend!!!!) again. You guys deserve it. The school sounds great, and low fees is good. I loved the FB picture of the boys dressed up, they looked very cute, who could refuse them. You and I must have the same belly LOL!!!!! I wouldn't be taking any skin shots of myself either but clothed ones are good. Re the dress - I know what you mean. I don't normally look that glammed up (wish I did LOL!!!).

    Chelsea has her first sports day tomorrow, so DH is going along to watch. She is very excited about it and won't tell us what she is doing, apparently it's a surprise! Marley is going so well at creche now, she waves excitedly and says "bye bye" when I leave. Puts a big smile on my face when I leave to know she is so happy. The carers just love her too and being the littlest one there, they take extra special care of her.

    Better go and get my bum into gear and get ready for work tomorrow.

    Hi to everyone, especially those MIA for a while. Hope you are all well.

    Nic- We have the most fabulous view of the mountains! We can see Buller and Buffalo and if we look hard enough we can even see Falls Creek!

    We are all moved in, final inspection was today, passed with flying colours.

    Now, it's just sorting things out, the shed out the back in full with stuff! Its so hard moving a 4br into a 3 br, so I think I need to turf some stuff!
    The kids absolutley love the new place, bit further to school but more exercise. I am really getting annoyed with a 3 yr old who thinks that she doesn't need to sleep!
    Better go ladies

    Hi guys, just sticking my head in quickly, still struggling along with my 2 little precious darlings, but I *think* I am starting to make some headway with it all. I think more than anything I need to stop being so hard on myself for not being able to do everything 'perfectly'.

    Julie- WOOHOO on the little girl, you must be so excited. Glad you had a nice weekend away. I hope to catch up again with you really soon.

    I had better make this a quick one, Liam is a sleep *shock Horror* and Tori has gone to mum's for the day and I have 100's of things to get done.

    Howdy belllas!! I am back at work and have been busy - I am working 3 days a week now and will be ramping it up to 4 days a week in May. I am also flying to Milldura on Friday for a conference and will be staying overnight so will be a whole 24 hours away from my bubs! Not sure whether to say woohoo or boohoo - I will miss them but at the same time it will be lovely to leave home at 11am, fly out, check into our nice hotel, go to the gym, have a bath, eat a lovely dinner on a paddleboat, sleep in, have brekky made for me then fly back in time for the mid-morning feed. (Can't you tell I am looking forward to it LOL!!!) Only bummer is I am not sure I have expressed enough "mook" for Ollie so he might have to have a formula feed, but I guess I will have to get over the guilt soon enough.

    I am sturggling with work ATM - I am not sure whether my lack of enthusiasm is due to being with the same boss for too long or something deeper. I feel like I need to "move out of home" so to speak but how do I know whether the problem lies with me? Maybe if I give it a red-hot go here I will feel differently? Ah well, at least I have a job to sturggle with I guess, I am lucky in that sense.

    Maya I am wih you on the "Around here if things dont' get done by me, they don't get done at all" - Mick is still struggling with his thesis poor love and every day I get honme the place looks like a bombsite, but I am doing my best not to say anything because he hates the thesis so much I don't want to nag him to finish it. The thing that worries me is that I will be full time in June and I just can't run the house and work as well, so I hope it is done soon so he can take over.

    Julie, "it?s amazing how quick they can swap horns for wings!" LOL!! I can so see Flynn and Ollie being like that in no time (sigh!) At least that will be one good thing about working - it will be up to Mick to deal with the fights most of the time.

    OMG Tali I would freak if someone picked up my child like that - they are lucky you didn't slap them!!

    Howdy everyone else - Jaspen, Bath, Nickers, Ali and Amanda. I would so love to do more personals but I am at woprk so really should get stated. No use getting in early if I don't make proper use of my time

    So ciao bellas, been nice talkin to yas!

    ETA : Is it normal for Flynn to become the "silent assasin"? He is pulling hair and pushing and sitting on other kids - not with any obvious malice, just with an impassive face like he is playing with a toy or something. He looks sad and says "sorry" when you tell him off and delights in playing with other kids normally, but he is just such a booffer ATM. He used to be the youngest and scardest in my mothers group, now he is the bully! Mum said I was the same at that age but it doesn't make it any easier. As soon as Mick finishes his masters I want him to take the boys to a playgroup so Flynn can learn about interacting with other kids. I know he is only young but it is still upsetting - grrr!

    congratulations Julie on your little girl!!!
    we have organised a birthday party for Nixon next Saturday. Im making a cookie monster cake so hope it turns out and will have to show u pics.
    Yeah Tyron has been early with everything so far, had 2 teeth at 4.5months and sitting at 5.5months. Nixon couldnt sit till he was about 9months either.
    Ali- life with two is much more hectic, because u may have a good day with one but bad with the other! if they alternate a few times a week makes for a pretty full on week.
    I'm finding Nixon the harder of the two, he can be so highly strung, definatley a firery little boy, wher as Tyron is just as placid as they come. i hope his personality stays the same!
    jess- wow sounds like a pretty awesome view you've got!
    Happy birthday ZAYDEN!
    well it was now this time 2 years back when my membranes ruptured and i thought i was peeing myself!! it's amazing how many of us are still here chatting away and all of the ongoing support we have all had for each other. BB and this group has been a big part of my life, thank you all

    Jess - glad to hear the move went well. Maybe have a garage sale to get rid of some stuff and make some cash too.

    Tali - Happy Birthday to Zayden for yesterday. What a big boy now. I hope he had a fun birthday. Hadn't even noticed the new smilies LOL!!! They are cute.

    Ali - don't be so hard on yourself. No one does things perfectly, but your kids and DH love you no matter what. Things do get easier and you are doing a ripper job.

    Nic - OMG I can't believe Nixon is 2 next week!!! Have fun making the cookie monster cake and don't get the blue icing on anything as it stains really bad. Time has certainly flown and I'm glad I became part of this group too. Pity I didn't know you back then.

    Chelsea had her sports day today and came 4th (out of 5) in her running race. DH said is was hilarious watching them. She had a ball and was pretty excited to get her little ribbon. They came last in the relay but they still go a ribbon for that too.

    Nic- O my cant believe that Nixon will be 2 next week, that now means not too much longer and our babies will also hit 2 very sad really...( As you might be able to tell I dont cope to well with my Babies getting older )

    Mel- Sports days are always just so cute DS is just so slow ( takes after me lol ) but he just doesnt see it he always tells me after that he must have his slow runner's on that day and thats why he couldnt go fast!!!

    Julie- BHL has only gotten to use his BBQ a few times as he has been away but he is still in love with it I got him a cook book on BBQ and he told me that he doesnt need one as he is already the best cook!! LOL I told him I dont want just steak every night...

    Well we went to Green Island on Friday and we had a great day ( have put some photo's in the gallery) mum, zayden and I snorkled and got to see loads of fish but its a bit sad really as you can really see how dead the reef is becomming and when watching some of the tourist who couldnt swim you can really see how they would ruin the reef more by kicking the reef with there feet!!!

    We were the only blondes on the whole boat which was funny as it ment poor may and kai werent left alone May didnt care so much but Kai hated it as the would just come up to them and try to touch the girls and take many photos. One lady came up to May on the beach a picked her up BHL got rather angery and told they lady to put her down the lady just smiled and told him that she was " very cute" which is all fine and dandy but you dont pick up someones kid, lucky May didnt freck out too much but kinda scrary that she didnt as it makes you think would she just let someone take her and not say anything?

    Well have go as we are going to port douglas today while BHL starts to pack...
