Evening girls!

How are we all? I have been pretty miserable the last few days lol. I have just been so lethargic and tired and feeling run down. I couldn't even bring myself to post lol. I made myself get up off the couch today and clean up and now I'm feeling much brighter!

lol @ the secret admirer stuff... not doubt it'll be some scary stalker or even an old man pmsl! It was nice though to receive them at work and all!

Rach OMG look at Krystal! She has grown so much and is just adorable! How are things with you both?

Christine Don't feel down about the challenge! I *never* lose that much weight! In fact over my first 6 - 8 weeks at the gym I only lost 1.2kgs... kind of discouraging except I lost 8 cm's off my waist!!!! Sometimes its more encouraging to focus on just the cm's lol! And I don't weigh every week either. I won't weigh or measure again till our second weigh in! YAY for your birthday soon!

Lorelle Happy Birthday!!! Sounds like you had a lovely day!

Ellissa Ewwww at the poo in the gum boots lol. Poor kid! Buggar about the pies

Tania The waterfall sounds lovely lol!

Kim Buggar about the BFN

Shazz that is the best news I've heard all day!!! Such fantastic news!!! And a scholarship too YAHOOO!!!

Sheree Welcome back sweety! We have missed you! That bracelet sounds awesome!!!

Sara I hope you made it home okay!

Well I've got some challenge stuff to attend to and then a few other things before I head to bed. We are off to the Botanical Gardens tomorrow. Must remember to pack the ball for Em. He's gonna love it!

Sweet dreams ladies!

Hi Girls!

Well i am kinda settled in. Have'nt unpacked at all yet. Have to get into it today though.

So yeah the holiday was good. Briley had a pretty good time. We went to Dreamworld and to Wigglesworld and she had a ball there. Went for a ride on the Big Red Car. We also went to Movieworld and Seaworld. Briley loved the animals at Seaworld and we got some great pics. I will email some around soon.

While we were on holidays i found that Briley had cut her 2 top canines. Bottoms are'nt through yet and the gums are'nt red or bulging so i think they must be a bit away. So we are up to 14 toothy pegs now! And she was'nt even grumpy or anything so they must have come through on stealth mode!

Briley vocabulary is growing even more. Esp while we were on holidays. We were surrounded by lots of high rises and she kept saying "big house" then kept going on "look another one!". We were staying in apartment and had to go up a flight of stairs to get to our room and she would count the stairs as we would go up and down. So she can count to 13 now. Its amazing how much she grew up in that last week.

Colby is good. Sitting up on her own. Starting saying "bub-bub" the day we came home. Almost the exact age as Briley when she started talking. She is'nt crawling yet but she does try and get up on her knees sometimes. She is almost in sync with how Briley looked. I go over photos of Briley at whatever age Colby is and they are almost identical.

I am going well too. I have 2 observation births this month. Mums are due on 17th of Jan and 27 of Jan. I am very excited. So i am on call at the moment. Its all a waiting game now! Birth Buddies website is up and running now if you all would like to have a squizz. You can find it Here.

Nat - LOL @ your admirer! I hope it does'nt turn into a stalker! Sorry to hear you were'nt feeling to good. At least now you are feeling better. Its amazing how much a bit of house work can make you feel better. Even though it is house work! I don't think i have got into BMID. Had a phone conference while on holidays (At Moviewold mind you! ) and I think that they are only going to offer me BNS. Once i have completed the first year i can apply for a transfer to BMID. I'd say this is just a tester to see if i am really interested in Midwifery and will stick out the course. Kinda going about it the hard way though! Hope your enjoying the Gardens.

Kim - Oh i am sorry you got a BFN hun. Soon is all i can say really. Hugs. I wonder what is going on with AF. Maybe the gastro is delaying it. How's Darcy going after her bout with sickness. How are you handling being on your own out there??? How often do you see Cam??? I bet Darcy keeps you busy though!

Elissa - Ewww about the poo. I hope it was'nt too stinky! Thats cute of Archie asking where Daddy is. Briley has been a real Daddys girl lately too. She knows when she is not around. Those pies would have been hot! I am not much of a chilli person either. I will eat a curry and stuff but not if it is piping hot! I hope find a nice house in a nice suburb! Its a love hate relationship, house hunting, is'nt it!

Sheree - Great to hear that things are fine with bubby. Not so great to hear that things are good with you. Did they say that you might have issues with your cervix staying closed until the end of your pg??? I hope that they have got it wrong and you are ok. The bracelet sounds awesome. I wish Brent had of bought be something like that for xmas. Next year hey! How's the weather down there??? I hear that low that hit us is on its way down there. I hope your roof is fixed before then!

Lorelle - Welcome to May Babies. I am not exactly a May Baby Buddy as Briley born in June but she was due on the 30th of May so i call here home. Happy Birthday for the other day. You sound like you had a lovely day. I love you the name Cendrine. Not a name is have heard before but its lovely.

Tania - I can't believe you are already 13 weeks. Gosh time goes quick does'nt it! That must have felt awful when you got sick. How is your blood pressure??? It might have been low that day. Its been raining cats and dogs up here while we were gone too. Lots of flooding. Our driveway is washed down onto our front patio at the moment. Not a nice look or feeling when you get mud and sand stuck all over your feet! Hope your enjoying your day off!

Christine - Don't feel bummed about your weightloss hun. At least you are there and making the effort. That is always the first step. Keep it up hun. You'll see results soon. We were able to land luckly. We had to circle the airport about 5times before we actually landed though. The cloud was really thick and low so i don't know wether that had anything to do with it. My uncle was talking to us the morning we were due to fly home and reckoned that there were thunderstorm forcast for that afternoon and we might have to be diverted to Cairns. But it never happened luckly. I just wanted to get home! A week away from home was long enough! Brents dad's chooks got flooded out big time! LOL! Stupid things!

Shazz - Congratulations on getting into your course! And a scholarship aswell. You did VERY well hun. I hope i am as lucky as you. Don't hear back from UniSA about my course for a while yet i think. Defenitely don't think i'll get into BMID though. I am praying that i do! 1.5kg is good in my eyes. I don't really follow all that weight loss stuff so i am not sure if it is good techincally or not. But if i lost 1.5kgs i would be pretty happy! Don't be too hard on yourself hun.

Rachel - Not sure if we've met hun! Hi anyways. How's you litle girl going???

Leanne - Oh i am sorry you have to go back to work hun. What do you do??? I am glad that i don't have to. Not rubbing it in or anything. But when i sometimes think that we are that broke that i have to go back to work i get sad and fret cause i don't want to leave the girls. Keep your chin up hun. All you need to do is fall pregnant and work will be a distant memory! How is your nephew going??? I will have to head over and have a looky in the gallery at your pics of him.

Hi to everyone else. Sorry if i missed you!

This has turned into a huge post! I am going now.....

Hope you are all well....

Take Care!
