Hey everyone, gotta be quick cause I am at work and a little busy!
All is well with us at the moment, Ollie is growing fast and trying to talk (and freaking out when we don't understand his grunts and wild gestures!) while Flynn is a talking dynamo who is into dinosaurs, planes and his fireman hat (like all little boys it seems!)
Mel that w'end away sounds great - it is exactly what DH and I plan to do for our 40th (can you PM me the details - I am scoping venues already, even though we have a while to go - gotta start saving now though!!)
Tali hope you enjoyed the sunny weather over easter - it was just for you hun!
Thanks Rory it just what i needed I have been loving the weather at the moment....
Mel thats sound like a wonderful weekend you are very lucky... BHL and I have never been away without the kids either, I think its about time we make the time for ourselves..
Bath I hope you amobs stay away from you house for the time beening... I saw that you are having another flare up... you need to relax some more and have more time for yourself there is no point running yourself raggered, as believe me growing up with a sick mum is no fun so look after yourself ...
amanda we have been tossing around the idea of moving to HVB again, might have to get you to find out where the good and bad part are.... I think you did do this for me about 2 yrs ago but we might need it soon... I think I might be ready for a small town...
hello to everyone else
well school hols havent been to bad yet as bHL has been home and having easter and DS's 9th b'day we have been doing things.... I cant believe my baby is 9 where is the time going... and been a mum to a 9 year old makes me feel old
BHL has just left for work... his only mate ther has just been given the boot, and seeing as BHL stays at this said mates house tonight I have a feeling that there will be a few beers being drunk... I hope BHL remembers he has to Fly out tomorrow!
But he has just been offerd a new job its week on week off so might mean we would have to move closer to site so that we dont waste so much money on flights and time on travel... but I dont know too much ATM will find out more tonight after he has a look at the net to scope it out and see if it would be worsth the move... The only down side is, its in Mackay dont know if I want to move there... I might suggest to BHL maybe we move to brisvagas or sunny coast so that we have the big town support for DS if he needs it... but that would still mean waisting money on flight... Ummmmm no point worring about it until I know I have to start to...
BHL and I are still TTC #4 but with no luck so far, its been about 4 mths so early days ... just wished it would happen quicker than it normally does, but I guess its not helping having BHL away so much
Bugger I hate it when I post again before anyone else has posted sence my last post feels like I am talking to myself...
well just a quick one to let you all know that we are moving again I know it was like only 4 post ago that I said we were staying put
But BHL has been offerd a better job as its the same pay we are on now but its 6 days on 6 days off so we will get to see him more ( might just help us TTC as well )... but for this too work we have to move... the job is out of Mackay... but we have decided that we are going to move to Brisbane... as this way if the job falls though we would have more jobs oppertuity there than Mackay with 1000 other miners....
So it looks like we will be moving sometime in June... so I will still be able to go to the Melbourne meet... Is anyone else going ? cant remember if I have seen your names or not...
Amanda I hope you have that kettle on as I will need a friendly face and I love a coffee and a chat...
Tali you will be more then welcome to visit anytime and don't worry about the winkies my tribe will love having new people to play with.
Julian has both his bottom two teeth now so very cute hopefully will be trying some food soon, but if he's anything like Cody won't want much for another few months. I've started my doula course and it's going great so far. Cody is throwing tanties all the time now (I forgot how frustrating this phase is, for them and me, lol) and the boys are copping the brunt of it, by getting a toy thrown at them ect. Lockie had his first sleep over last night, was nice for him but both DH and I both missed him, was funny because you get so use to having them there bugging each other, then one goes and your always looking for them, lol. He had a great time...was dropped off this morning.
Tali: I was just talking to Maya yesterday and tossing up the idea of a June meetup to celebrate our June babies turning 3... but now that I know you'll be going around then I'm happy to have one sooner... my place? Very flexible here... would be good to catchup while the weather is nice and we have the option of getting outside
Yep, would love to have a meet up sooner so that we catch up, Tali! In fact, there are times I'm kind of near or passing through the Berwick area and I could come and visit then, too It's just a matter of organising myself a bit better (caught up with my old hairdresser cos I was in the area and I'm going to have to give her the heads up next time, so we can catch up properly!).
Things still mad around here and playing catch ups again at uni. Just can't concentrate
DP away for 4 days next week for work, so that will be interesting again.
Had our old neighbours come to Melbourne this week and caught up with them - was really great and we all went to Sky High for dinner (they missed Melb views, even though the dinner was ordinary!) and ended up at a local bar for drinkies (I had a weak beer and a chandy, a bit naughty, but it wasn't much...and it's not often at all!!). So, being that we probably will see them in July at the earliest, and they won't be able to see the evolution of the 'secret' belly, we told them about the pg.
Ok, probably run out of time to post, I can hear DP telling Oscar off near the shed...
I hope everyone is doing well. I have finally found 5 mins to sit down and catch up on everyone's news.
Nic- First of all I wanted to say a happy (althought slightly belated) Happy Birthday to Nixon- I hope you all had a wonderful day.
Maya- Congrats on your pg, how exciting- I am getting super clucky again. I hope uni isnt going to badly.
Mel- Im jealous, I would love a pool, but we are slightly lacking in space here - oh and it is a rental so kinda pointless. Tori also just gave up her dummy, the easter bunny took them away for his baby rabbits.
Rory- I hope you are settling in well at your new job. Sounds like your boys are doing wonderfully, Liam is also starting to talk, I think he figured he would have to get on with it otherwise he would never get a word in, as Tori talks all day.
Amanda- Today was the first time in I dont know how long that I was home with just Liam and I kept listening out for Tori, can't imagine how strange it felt to have one of your babies away for the whole night. Good luck with your Doula course- I am sure you will do a fantastic job at it.
Bath- Enjoy your first aid course, I actualley really enjoyed doing mine (although I do hope I never have to use it), I am actually due for a refresher soon. We are not required to have it as a teacher, but I feel much better knowing that I have some knoweldge if ever faced with an emergency situation in the classroom- or at home for that matter.
Tali- I hope the next move isnt too stressful- I am sure that if it means more time with DH at home it will be better. I hope the kids didnt try you too batty over the school holidays.
Things here have been going at warp speed. We were looking into building a house, we had an offer on a block of land, and plans drawn up and everything, but the site works on the block came back at $45,000 and just blew our budget, which meant the whole deal fell through. We were a little bit disapointed, but I was also a little relieved as well- it was alot of money to be borrowing, and the implications that it meant in regards to work etc just did my head in.
Tori is doing great- she is fully toilet trained and dry at night. We have had some big issues with poo, but finally after a couple trips to the dr's and 3weeks on parachoc she is now doing proper poos in the toilet instead of handing on to them for 3-4 days at a time. Both the kids are at daycare 1 day a week while I am working and really enjoying it. I think Tori will be more than ready to start Kindy next year.
DH and I are seriously talking about TTC #3, I thought after I had Liam that I was done, but I can't get rid of the the niggling urge to have more, and I dont want to let the materialistic things in life take away my chances of being a mum again (part of the reason I am glad the house building thing fell through) so we will probably start trying in Dec for a couple of months and if that doent work out then wait till august and try again (trying to fit it around work stuff). I am really excited, I just feel like I need to be a mum again.
Also a heads up for Melb girls, We are heading over for a holiday in April next year and I would love to try and catch up with you all while I am there, it would be really lovely to put some faces to names.
Anyway I had better go, will try and get back a bit more regularly.
I would love a meet up Bath.... I am free almost all the time I have no life... so just tell me the time and date and I will try to make it... you will just have give me dirctions how to get there via the trains
the only dates I know I am out are the weekend of the 2nd of May ( Mayleaka's B'day and the june long weekend ( going to the BB meet )
its week on week off so might mean we would have to move closer to site so that we dont waste so much money on flights and time on travel... but I dont know too much ATM will find out more tonight after he has a look at the net to scope it out and see if it would be worsth the move... The only down side is, its in Mackay dont know if I want to move there... I might suggest to BHL maybe we move to brisvagas or sunny coast so that we have the big town support for DS if he needs it... but that would still mean waisting money on flight... Ummmmm no point worring about it until I know I have to start to...
