Hi girls ... just a quick post to say hi! and hope you guys all have a great xmas (and don't stress out too much with the IL's).
I get on really well with DH's mum and dad and it was just supposed to be us for the couple of days we get to spend with them before xmas (we're heading to my parents xmas eve), but now his younger sis will be there and she's already started whinging about stuff ... why we won't be there on xmas day, why do we have to spend it with my family (ummm hello! we have 2 sides to our family thank you ... where have you been for the last 7 years! lol), where's her bday present? (of all things she's worried that we never got her a bday present so now she's expecting one and a chrissy present ... i'm like where's her brother's for the last 7 years that we've been together ... she's never given him one so why should he return the "favour"?).
She wasn't even supposed to be there ... couldn't afford the flight down ... but mummy paid for it ... i guess she felt sorry for her being alone cos her bf of 2 years finished his uni degree and was only on a study visa and last month had to fly home (africa!). Still ... she better not whinge and cry when we are there ... I just get sick of hearing about her probs or about his other sister's probs ... get over it! grrrr ...
Jovi's doing well. Growing like a weed ... she's just about into 0's now (put a pair of shorts on her that she got as a pressie from our friends and they fit good, and her new pj's are 0's as well ... she's getting too tall for 00's). She's moving around like crazy ... crawling, chasing the cats, going from sitting to standing by holding onto stuff the smart little cookie. Haven't had her weighed lately but she was 7 kilo's about 3 weeks ago.
I saw something about weetbix ... jovi had her first the other day. Just ours with a bit of regular milk. She loves her toast with vegemite though, or just bread. And she's just started eating cheese sticks which she also loves.
Has anybody's baby turned in to a real night owl? Like today:
slept in with scott until 8, no sleep again until i came home at lunch. Played with me for a while and eventually passed out having her bottle. Slept for about an hour. Woke up ... no sleep until she passed out in the car when we were coming back from rellies at about 7pm ... slept for half an hour ... up ... bottle, tea, bath ... played until 10:30!!! Finally went to sleep with last bottle. In bed now ... hopefully she will sleep through the night ... still has bouts of screaming and with me getting up to her (scott seems to sleep through it these days) and having to get up at 6 to get to work by 7 so I can work an 8 1/2 hour day ... I'm exhausted! Mind you it's now midnight and I should be in bed ... lol At least I only have to work until 12 tomorrow which is good ... can't wait!
Not much else happening ... didn't get the job I REALLY wanted. They gave it to someone who already worked there, but basically said that if she wasn't moving through the ranks and hadn't of interviewed for the job I would of got it. I would have loved it! So we won't be moving for a while. Being a smaller town than here, good jobs that are stable with good benefits are hard to come by. Will stick it out a bit longer ... with any luck I'll get an upgrade and at least that will keep me happy for a while.
Anyway ... that's all I can think of at the moment ... will hopefully be able to get back on at the end of next week when I get home from chrissy travels.
