Afternoon Everyone!

Just when I decide that its a washing day to do all the sheets and stuff .. it rains! Typical! Kenzie is alot more settled today, she is getting used to playing on the floor again although still hates going in the portacot with her toys while I have a shower etc.. I had to put the rubblish out and she screamed so loud I could here her plain as day out in the street .. what must the neighbours be thinking!

Starfish :: Wow!

for Diana, I haven't even thought about potty training yet. I think we might start at about 18 months. Happy 8 Month Birthday for Diana!

MumofLewis :: I just noticed Lewis's ticker .. very cute photo!

Still no sign of AF for me .. starting to wonder if I should go get a another preg test .. should I just wait and see? I am so impatient!

Jen - thanks for 8 months wishes for Diana! RE lack of AFF - are you trying to TTC? Good luck with the outcome.

Okay, I can't remember who asked this in the other thread. I think it was Sarah - no I didn't have much luck with the playpen on e-bay. It ended up going for nearly the same price as a new one. So I ordered one from the shop, which still hasn't come in.

Hi to everyone else. Hope you're having a great day. It's the first sunny day here in what seems like ages, so I was thinking of taking Diana to the pool to go swimming, but she didn't want to go. As soon as I out her in the pram she started sooking. So we ended up staying home. On the up-side, she is currently asleep. Yay. So I might take advantage of this and go and do some art. BBL. Have a lovely day!

Hey Everyone!

Had pretty good day today, went to Target and Big W to get some winter clothes for Mackenzie .. is everyone buying size 0 or size 1 for winter? I have a mixture of both..sometimes the size 1 stuff seems soo big!

Spent 2 and 1/2 hours trying to put Kenzie to sleep and she slept for 20 mins .. what a little darlin!!

Starfish :: We are just seeing what happens .. if we fall pregnant then great if not .. we can wait. I would like to love 10 kilos before we actively TTC ... but we'll see .. still no sign of AF
Talk soon

Jen

hi everyone

on the subject of playpens - we got ours off ebay - and I ended up waiting till one ended at about 7am and there was no one else bidding so we got it for 50 bucks which was pretty lucky cos they usually sell really fast - I'd just say keep trying - but I also saw one at Target for $90 if you want one brand new

Jen - I've been trying to buy some clothes for Jackson lately - but its really hard - some brands he is into size 0 pants e.g. big w and others he still fits 00 and the 0 pants look huge - so I figure he'll be 12 months and still wearing 0 pants it would be so nice if there was some standard sizing

work is going OK and we're now into a pretty good routine with day care on Thursday and Friday and mum has Jackson on Wednesday - I've just started back for my 4 days a week and my DH has Jackson now on Tuesday - our 1st one this week was a bit of a disaster with Jackson deciding not to sleep more than half an hour in one go

well everyone will do some personals as soon as I've caught up on more of the news - saw some of the gorgeous christening pics of Mikayla - what a little angel princess

luv and hugs
Mel
