holy cow i'm first Woooohooooo

[widdly]

kim - how stupid of the gym not to give you some sort of refund seeinga s youa re moving 600km away, typical! I am like Shazz, every time i see uniforms ont he news about APEC i wonder if your DH is one of them.

leanne - poor Katy, i hope it doesn't effect her too much, we thought Archie had it a week before his birthday, but now ireckon it was just reosela, similer symptoms and rash, but not as 'serious' or long lasting. maybe look at it like its a good oportunity for you to have a nice cuddly relaxing weekend at home in front of the telly with katy, hire some DVDs......doing my best at being optimistic!

nat - OMG great to finally hear from you, have been hoping that you are okay. Em sounds like he ahs grown up so much! He is very clever to be able to ride his bike around everywhere, Archie has learnt how to get on and off by himself but still not sure how to make it go anywhere. Good on you for have a relaxing day, you must have felt great to have a break for a day finally.

Arch has been sooky today but i think its because i am trying to limit dummy time to only sleep time, he is so addicted to it lately that he will constantly have one in his mouth if i leave one lying around the house. Not looking forward to the day i decided he has to give them up......wont be for a long while yet i think!

PS CD62 and i think i have spotting, about freakin time!

[~Kim~]

lol Elissa that's Darcy on the bike!

Heya Nat!!

Tehe one of my least fave jobs is grocery putting away, so I emptied out all the shopping bags today and Darcy helps, except when i go to put the asparagus away a few tips are missing, theres a bite out of a zuccini and the capsicum, I have to hide the tomatoes so she doesn't eat them, she had pulled all the stickers off the apples. Oh and we had to open the mini wheats to try as well....

So we had our spinach and ricotta canneloni for dinner (Darcy has to feed herself or she won't eat), then she wanted some of the baby corn I had bought so she ate 2 of those, a tub of yoghurt, then she bought the pawpaw to me and was trying to chew it though the plastic so she had a slice of that, then she found the pears so she had some of one of those......no wonder she didn't feel like all of her milk (which was in a cup she picked at the supermarket) lol. Her poo will smell different tomorrow.

Evening ladies,

Well i am poppin in to say a quick hi but mainly to let you all know about Sheree.

I got a text from her about a week ago saying that she had been for a scan as she had stabbing pains in her stomach and slight discharge. At the scan and it was found that she was pregnant with twins again but the pregnany was'nt "viable". There was a sac but no babies. So she had to have another D and C (dilation and curette).

So i recieved another text this morning, which was sent on the 1'st of September, but i only went into town for the first time today. The text said that she had been for the surgery and recovered well. They also found out that she had been pregnant with identical twins.

Her Dr said that she would also have a high probability of another twin pregnancy but according to him/her "twins would'nt work for them". They also said that she would be given an early scan next time and would be closely monitored.

I did'nt mention anything myself because i was'nt sure wether Sheree wanted me to tell anyone yet or wether she wanted to tell you guys herself. She seems to be ok but i am sure she needs all our love and support at the moment. Which i know there is plenty of in here anyways. Sheree said that she will be back in on the weekend.

Sheree, you know i am here anytime you need to talk honey. I am only a text or a phone call away if you need an ear to chew off!! Hugs and kisses matey!

As for us, we are good. Briley has a bit of a cough which only play up at night time. I prop her up on an extra pillow and that seems to help heaps. The teeth are coming through hard and fast at the moment too.

Colby is going good too. We had our first difficult night the night before last. She just would'nt settle but finally did a bit after 11. Tonight i tried for the first time to put her into a routine. Bath, feed and bed. She seemed to like it. Hopefully it works out well. I am totally blown away by how strong she is. She can basically hold her head up on her own now. Ofcourse she needs a bit of support but she is a strong little bugger.

I am going good too. Coping quite well as a mother of 2 under 2! Its quite overwhelming how busy you are with 2. The days just seem to fly by now. Everytime i look at the clock during the day i just think OMG! Where has the day gone?!?! I am quite enjoying it all though.

Well it 10.00pm and everyone is asleep except me. Briley has stopped coughing and Colby is out to it! So its my turn now.

Sorry for the lack of personals. I will get around to it soon girls.

Hope you are all well...

Ni night!

Kim... you should go to the gym in uniform... and I bet they will sort out your membership!!

I went back to work today... I was dreading it. I've been getting so tired in the afternoons... so I thought I would crash & burn at work. But adrenalin must have kicked in - and I was fine. Managed to do all the clients - and actually enjoyed it.

I spoke to our solicitor today about the house. We can get access to the house - but not until the 26th September - which is two weeks before settlement (10 oct). So we can get the floorboards repolished... and if we are really efficient we may be able to rip out & replace the kitchen - but that's wishful thinking. We'll see how we go.

Just heard on the news that Pavarotti died. That's a shame. I heard that he was really ill this morning, but not heard any news all day....

[Jodie259]

OMG.... poor Sheree...........

Hugs to you honey.

If there is anything I can do... let me know.... ANYTHING.

God, I wish I was close to you... to give you a real life hug.

My thoughts are with you.

- thanks for the news Sara... XX

[Lea13]

Sheree You already know how devastated I am for you. You have been in my thoughts constantly and I am sending you, Wade & Lachlan all of our love and hugs.

Sara thanks for posting. I had no idea what Sheree wanted and didn't really know what to do iykwim.

Will pop back later for personals.

[Baby_Crazy05]

Hi Girls!

I know I haven't been around in like forever! (February according to my account ... I'm terrible I know!!!)

Thought I would pop in to say a quick hi while Jovi is actually sleeping!

Like everyone, Jovi is running around like mad! I can't even remember my last post. She started walking at about 10.5 months and now just runs. You should see her let loose in the supermarket!

She's got nearly all her teeth now ... getting her bottom incisors at the moment (I think that's what they're called) and they're causing her some pain which isn't good. All her other teeth just sort of appeared out of now where and where generally a surprise ... even her molars.

She's got a lot more hair now ... I can't wait until I can put it up in piggy tails

She's talking ALOT! Says all kinds of things. She was trying to drink my coke tonight and I told her to go and get Dad's drink and she goes "Beeeerrr" It was so cute and hilarious! lol

She's climbing the furniture like mad and is bad for stealing your seat. You've got to watch that you don't sit on her.

She's been a bit sick lately ... flu and throwing up which hasn't been fun at all. Started her on antibiotics today so I hope she gets better soon.

What's everyone's little ones weighing these days? We had Jovi at the hospital last week when she was running a high temp and she still only weighed 9.6kgs. I'm worried that she might be underweight. She's pretty active and seems to eat alot and like most toddlers when she says she's had enough she won't eat anymore. What do you guys think? Her "little" cousin Gye is 6 months younger than her and weighs 12.5kgs already! I admit he's a little chubber baby and just like his father, but he's a giant compared to her.

Personally I'm doing ok. Work is still ripping me off and I still have no promotion though I work my butt off. I had been waiting to hear about a new job ... got an interview, my referees had to give references but still nothing ... I know public service takes forever (having worked in one now for almost 7 years) but this is getting ridiculous! The pay rise would be wonderful!

Scott's still loving being a stay-at-home dad. Probably planning on having another bub soon. I'm having my gall bladder out soon, providing they don't change the date on me again (they've changed in 4 times already!) so once that's over and done with we'll probably start trying.

Anyway ... hope all is well with everyone and I'll try and get back on more often again!.

Bya
Beck

[~Kim~]

OMG Sheree, I was so worried about you all week. I'm so sorry.

[~Leanne~]

Sheree big :hugs: to you. I can't imagine how you must be feeling. Here for you.

[~Leanne~]

I just became a platinum member. I am so excited!

[~shazz~]

Sheree ~ i'm so sorry hun sending you a massive big hugs

Leanne ~ yay on becoming plat

[~Kim~]

I've looked at that for ages- what exactly do you get for the $$$ it says discounts etc but what for?

[Tannis]

Sheree: Already told you, but I hope you guys are doing ok. You know I am here for you and we can catch up when you are in town (let me know dates so i can get time off)

Welcome back Beck.....Jovi is just beautiful!Jayden is a climber lately too and stealing chairs.

We are still at SIL's house....I now HATE cats (living with 4 now including mine). One of her cats peed on Jayden's flip out couch and it had blood in his urine so we bought another couch.....a bit dissapointed she didn't offer to pay for it.

We had an offer accepted on a house, private sale...not the house I wanted but everything was nice except the kitchen was small......a few days later Chris rang him to get the contract and he had sold it to someone else, as we have nothing in writting there wasn't a lot we could do. So we are back to square 1 again.

Jayden is doing great with his animal noises and knows most of his body parts (not the boy bits yet thank god!). He still isn't saying too many words but he has his own language, tonight he said Tigger for the 1st time when i showed him his PJ's and asked "who that". He has just cut his 7th tooth the other day and his first molar (8th tooth) today! Explains why he wouldn't go to sleep until 10.30-11pm most nights.....tonight was just after 8pm.

Work is going terribly atm....I'm glad this week is over.

I've been invited to a VIP opening night at one of the clubs in town, all drinks paid for and they bring out a signature ****tail every hour....Chris of course doesn't want me to go because he can't go, we'll see how feel tomorrow, I might go anyway.

A friend is coming to Bundy (from Bris) on Sunday as she has a wedding to go to in Yeppoon tomorrow, i haven't seen her in over 2 yrs. She has 2 daughters one just turned 2 and the other is about 7mths and i haven't met either of them, and she hasn't met Jayden so i am so excited to see her. She was one of my really close friend's when we were in Melb.

I hope everyone is well and i will attempt personals in the near future, still very hard to get time on the computer.
Take care
oxox
