Hey Junies ( to those who still remember me )
can Anetka and I squeeze ourselves back in here?
I spend all my time at work reading every news site in the world , bored out of my mind - and then I thought about BB and decided id like to get back on board

Hi all, just returning to normal life after the week from Hell, I have had both kids sick with croup and it has been an endless round of Dr trips, sleepless nights, a trip to the hospital with Liam coughs, snotty noses and many rounds of tears from all 3 of us. Good news is everyone is on the mend.
I don't know if you girls noticed because she has changed her user name, but Tanya had her second baby boy on Thurs, a little boy named Archie.
Enigma- Great to see you back on Board. How is Anetka getting on at Daycare now? How are you liking the new job.
Jaspen- Back to work on Monday actualley, I am both excited and apprehensive as I am teaching a year 5/6 class when I am used to teaching junior primary, really looking forward to the challenge. Wow not long at all now untill you meet your little man.
Mel- As you have probably figured out from my other post, I have a Gemini Monster- Some days I just dont know what to do with her, and poor Liam cops the brunt of it most days, not that I condone fighting amongst sibling, but I cant wait till he is old enough t give her an almighty whack back, maybe she will learn her lesson.
As for the CC debt, we are in much the same prediciment, and we will probably do some and and some as there are some really urgent things that need doing around here.
Bath- Glad to hear that your BT are normal, that must have been a relief.
Tali- I am dreading the day that Tori takes to her hair with scissors. She already pretends to cut her toys hair after watching her dad have a hair cut recently so scissors are kept well out of the way here.
Nic- Are you in your new house yet?
Other than sickness things here are pretty good. Starting back at work next week which is exciting, I am not looking forward to the kids trying to settle into a new routine, but I am sure once they do it will be great. My super tropper Liam has started crawling and pulling himself up to standing on everything he possibly can, found him standing in his cot the other day, and he is not even 7 months yet.
Tori loves to tell us all how it is these days, I took her to the Fairies concert today which she really loved, she hasnt stopped talking about it all day. I am thinking about putting her in daycare one day a week next year a I think she will really benifit for the social experience, and having a bit of down time from her brother. We have a centre just across the road which I want to check out, and hopefully can get her into.
Quick Qu. How did you know what the right number of kids was for you? We love having our 2 kids, one of each is just perfect and it is alot of work too (as kids are), and even though DH is adament that 2 is enough, but part of me feels like I am not done yet- however I am wondering if that feeling would still be there if I had 1 kids. So how do you know when you are done?

Just a quick one for Ali, I mother always told me you will " Just know " when you are done as the sadness that sometimes comes when you are watching your children grow as they are growing too fast, and when you sometimes look at your youngest and think " I will never have a baby again" will too go, you will feel happy that your child is growing and that they are ready for the next stage.... iykwim....
I too struggle with this as we are very happy with our family of 5 but there is always something in the back of my mine that keeps pulling me to have a 4th child, so of course have all the same feeling I had when we were thinking about our 3rd, would I cope, will we all still be happy with the decion, would it be right for us ? I keep going back to the same old thing which is I dont feel DONE yet, I feel I still have love to give, I still feel our family is incompleat...
BHL is coming around to the idea lol as I alway meantion " when we have our 4 th baby" it seems to slip into the convsation each day...His thought have always been ( as he too was happy with our pidgen( sp?) pair) If I feel I could cope with another child in the house then its ok with him due to the fact that he works away from home alot....
Sorry for the ramble I hope some of it makes sence....
So I live in hope that mum was right and you just know when you are DONE and feel happy and content... Otherwise I might have 10 lol just kidding I think I will be well and truely done with 4....That and with my jelous clingie little girl I have she would grow up been the worse " BABY " of the family ever you know the type of person I am talking about ....LOL
My baby sister is one BAD mum and dad are rapped around her fingers and she can do no wrong....
Good luck with going back to work tomorrow 5/6 are a bit different to the little ones I hope they are all nice to you and no one is too tall ( some at the school that Zay used to go to were taller than me!!!!!)

Jaspen - only 6 more sleeps!!! Are you getting excited or nervous? Has the name been resolved yet, I have been following your other thread. I am sure the boys will get the hang of being gentle with the baby (and with you too!). Enjoy your last few days and we'll all be thinking of you on 28th.
Ali - glad to hear you are all getting better, just in time for you to go back to work (good timing). Have you started back yet? If you have, hope its going well and those grade 5/6 kids are being kind to you. Re the fighting back, Marley fights back worse than Chelsea, but it doesn't seem to stop the fighting, just makes it worse with Chelsea in tears and yelling at Marley to stop! Liam will get his own back, they always seem toI am in the same predicament as you but my DH is so desperate to have another baby (he wanted 4 but that is not going to happen!). I don't think I am done yet, my mind still constantly thinks about having another baby, I still avidly read the birth notices in the paper to check out baby names! But, I love my life the way it is now, work is going great, the kids are settled so I wonder will I be rocking the boat to add to our family? Time will tell I suppose, but like Tali said, you will know.
Enigma - I must have arrived after you left, but welcome back!
Things are travelling along pretty good at the moment. It was DH's birthday yesterday so I made him a yummy chocolate cake complete with sparklers. Marley has got the hang of "hip, hip, horray" and kept constantly saying it while we were having dinner. She got very excited when it was time to actually sing it. I asked Chelsea what she wanted me to by Daddy and she came back with "tracksuit pants"! When I asked why she said "its winter, so it's cold and Daddy needs a new pair for PMP (he helps out every Tuesday at her school). She was very happy with the ones I chose and DH thought it was hilarious that she chose something like that for him. He was going to wear them to PMP today.
At work today so better get back to it. Hi to everyone

Happy Birthday JulieHope you have had a great day!!!!
Jaspen - I am keeping an eye out for your big anoucement
Still same old same old here gee I am becoming a boring person!! When I went to pick up zayden today from school Kai and May both walked their babies in prams it was just too cute.... would have been cuter if Kai would walk her dolly home but she did pretty well to walk all the way while pushing her pram, as she is normal a very crazy driver....
Well I have decide to give another meet up another go ( thanks to all your wards of incoragement) mainly because if I sit around this house any longer feeling down in the dumps I might very well go mad, plus BHL is flying out to work on Tuesday to again start 2 weeks out and one in so I know I will have to get over myself very soon....As a sad mummy is not a good mummy to be rasing winkies...
Have to tell you though I never realised how much the weather plays apart in how I am feeling as with all this cold and grey weather I have been feeling very low, but today with the sun out I have been feeling alot better so bring on spring so I can feel HAPPY again....

Happy Belated Birthday Julie - not long now until you meet your little princess.
Tali - glad to see you heading out to another meetup - hopefully you find this one more successful and beneficial
Hi Ewelina - nice to see you round - how is your little girl going??? Are you back in Australia these days???
Mel - I think we have a name - at last - nerves are still here even going into the arrival of number 3 - I can't believe that after all this time it is still nervewracking
Nic - hope they don't muck around finishing that last 10% of your kitchen and your renos are over and finished to be enjoyed.
Ali - how are the older kids going?????? I hope they don't have too much attitude and are treating you nicely.
Hi to everyone else - will check in with everyone when I'm back online in a week or so.
Anyway gotta go finish the last few things that need to be done before I head to hospital in the morning. Just thought I'd drop in and catch up a bit before. Hope everyone has a good week and will chat when I'm home with my new little boy.

Jaspen I was thinking of you all day yesterday but couldnt get on site to wish you luck!!!
Just know you were in my thoughts and I hope all when to plan, now you just have to sit back and enjoy the time you have with just you and baby before all the real fun starts...
Well went to the other meet yesterday and I am happy to say it was much better than the last one... I think it was a bit easier this time as it was at the play centre where the girls just had fun... Mind you it was hard to watch Kai as she just went every where May went which included the big kid part up to the highest slides!!! Just better not to watch I think, as it turned out nothing " bad" happened anyway she just had fun, but she did get to the top of one and freaked out so may had to climb back up and help her down a different smaller slide....
