Elissa: I hope Archie's sleeping gets better, I think I am getting used to Jayden not going to sleep and waking through the night. He has just gone to bed now (don't think he is asleep yet) then he will probably wake at about 3am-5am for a bottle then will sleep through til 6.45am, its not multiple times a night so I am very grateful for that!

Sheree: A guy at work, they just had their 2nd bub a few weeks ago....he was 10lb5oz (no GD) he was in 000 pretty much from the start he could only fit a few 0000. Jayden was in 0000 for about 3mths too

One on Chris's mates has just got here so they will want the computer I think, I'll catch up tomorrow
oxoxo

is this not the cutest little thing you've ever seen
i just want to wish you all a great week end i have a essay proposal to write so i won't be around much again :goodluck2:i'm excited NOT

[widdly]

tania - Arch went to sleep at 6 last night, he was knackered. Ended up in bed with me at 10:30 though. Yeah, i have resigned to the fact that i will probably be getting up to him at night til he starts kindy.

shazz - happy studying! that icon is very cute

I ended up looking after my friends 18mth old yesterday, my poor friend went to hospital to have her apendix removed, she thought she ust had a horrible form of gastro. It was interesting looking after to toddlers for a day, i can now see the positives of having 2 kids, they entertained each other wonderfully all day, didn't have any probs there, however by tea time i could see the positives of having an only too! Went to visit my friend in hossy ust now, she is actually having a really awful time reovering from the surgery, she says it is way worse than her caesar. Going out to tea tonight with my sister and some friends for a friends birthday, they are all going back to friends house for drinks, then out on the town, i think id rather come hom to bed than go out ion the town though, what an old fogey! Mum picked up Archie at lunch time, i get to sleep through all night and sleep in past 5am in the morning, i am SO excited!!!!

Bet you still wake up early Elissa!!
I am minding Riley's friend tonight, he was due 2 days after Riley but cause R was 2 1/2 weeks early and Benjy was 3 days late they are 3 weeks apart! They are having fun although Rileys very possesive of his toys. Benjy has 2 older brothers so he's pretty calm with everything R dishes up. Erin is being an absolute treasure and playing with them and bathing them.

[~Leanne~]

Hi everyone, just caught up on a bit of reading. I had a heap of posts to read.

Riley is a cutie already Sheree.

Full time work is hard Mrs Mac, but you do get used to it. I Hate it with a passion at the moment. Been crying a lot at work, but I guess you just gotta do what you gotta do.

I've been a bit ill lately.
Seems that as well as having my PCOS, might have full blown diabetes, and fatty liver disease is also on the cards. I had blood tests and ultrasounds done last week, so get the final' verdict' (or should I say results) from the doctor on Wednesday. I hope he can find a solution to all these issues, cause I have been 95% strict on Weight watchers since mid January, and I am one kilo lighte. WTF. I cant tell you how frustrating it is. People wonder why people get depressed about their weight. grrr.

Katy is growing up nicely. I can't believe she'll be two in a matter of weeks. She can say almost all of the alphabet and numbers from one to ten. (mimicking us of course). IT's so funny because she trys so hard with her pronounciation it brings tears to my eyes I laugh so much.
I am loving this age (except for bedtime-- a real stuggle -- sometimes hours), there is something new every day.
We have started toilet training and have 'undies' (pull up nappies) and a cushie insert on the loo.
Nothing has happened yet, but Katy loves to pull off the toilet paper and flush the loo. She is just familiarisig herself with the surroundings right now!

Anyway, best be off
Gotta load to put on the line.

Just wanted to pop in and say hi and that I think of you all heaps.
MWAH.

I have put some pics on my face book page, if you would like to have a squiz.

[~shazz~]

Hi All
Leanne they can find a solution for you how frustrating
elissa ~ hope you get a good sleep in the morning

[~Kim~]

Oh Leanne, you sound so frustrated. You poor thing. While those diagnoses are terrible things, you will then have a plan of attack with which to move forward. That could be a very positive thing. Lol the proninciation thing gets me too. Darcy's big on Pis$ cats at the moment. I can't get her to say pussy cat....or Munch instaed of Lunch...even though she can say lemon and Linda.

Hope you had a great night out Elissa.

Tanya that worries me too. After 2 years I no longer have to get up 50 times a night and have to get back in the awing all over again.

Shazz hope you're writing a killer essay!!!

I feeelll like crap....this will end won't it?

[~shazz~]

lol yes Kim it will end

[widdly]

christine - Can you please send Erin my way? I have my friends little boy for the next couple of days and nights, praying he doesn't wake during the night. Arch gets a bit pssoseive of his toys every now and then, hes not too bad though.

leanne - GL with the verdict, it must be terribly frustrating trying so hard with WW to only lose 1 kilo. Katy sounds like a very smart little girl. We are having huge bedtime issues too, i give up atm, he is currently lying on the couch next to me watching Shrek.

shazz - hi!

kim - I did have a great night thanks, but i ended up missing Arch heaps and went and picked him up from mums! Hope the ms starts to ease up soon

I have my friends little boy agian, she is still quite sick in hossy so the least i can do is take care of bub, he went down really easy tonight, just hoping he doesn't wake too much tonight! Arch isn't improving with the bedtime issues, i give up atm, im just over it!!

[~Leanne~]

Guess what?
I am about to start a diploma in child services.
TAFE run one via correspondence. will take about 12 months.
Then the plan is to start my very own family day care in about June next year.
I am so excited.

BBL.

[mrsmac]

Great news Leanne!!! That would mean no travel and more time with katy and still earning decent money!!! I didn't know you needed any qualifications except a first aid cert.

[~Leanne~]

You actually don't need any quals, but I thought it I am going to be serious about this, I want to do this properly.

total career change!
cool eh?

[widdly]

kim - LOl, Jay and i just had a chuckle imagining Darcy singing in her sleep he he he.

leanne - yay, what a great move, you will be able to spend so much time with your beautiful girl!

[mrsmac]

Brilliant move Leanne, if you lived near here Riley could go to you on a Friday when his FDC lady doesn't work! I worked out that Riley's carer must gross about $1200 for a 4 day week, not sure about taxes etc and she does have 5 kids where you would only be allowe 4 cause of katy i think.
