Hi everyone... I"m baaacccckkkk...!!
Sorry I've been so busy lately. And because this topic started a new page I wasn't receiving the email either! It's amazing how fast a week can go by!

Yes, we were finally on Medical Emergency!! Channel 7 phoned me to tell me (again) - but I've had 3 false alarms, so I was too nervous to tell everyone again. I was starting to look stupid! Yariv took it pretty well. It wasn't really painful. He must of been nervous talking on TV because his English was a bit stunted. But it's funny to see him on TV. They didn't mention my pregnancy. They cut the ring, but it can't be repaired because it was a 'spinning ring' - one ring spins inside of another. I searched the web and was able to get him a similar ring sent over from overseas. Unfortunately the show is not on the web (like ACA). Luckily we taped it onto DVD.

Scrappyfish - my baby loves his Jolly Jumper as well!! At first it freaked him out a bit, but once he got the hang of it he bounces all over the place.

Tannis - love your ticker!! And I can't believe your DP doesn't change nappies!! I got Yariv onto that very early! He has to because I now go to gym in the evenings (twice) and Weight Watchers. So it's just Yariv & Shaun bonding time three nights a week. I would die if I had to change every nappy!

Lea13 - Funny that your DP didn't know about Thumper. I have similar things with Yariv. Because he's from Israel they have different names for things. Like Smurfs were called something funny. And for some reason their story of Pinnochio doesn't have Jimminy Cricket - they have a CHICKEN instead!!! I lmao when I heard that. Yay for getting your hair coloured! I had mine done yesterday too! I was starting to look like Shaun's Grandma!! I go to the Loreal studio as a model so I don't pay for it. My hair is sooo long and thick it would cost me a fortune if I paid for my hair colours! Shaun was terrific and he quietly played in his pram for the whole time.

Sara - I hope you're feeling better. Nothing worse than feeling sick when you've got to look after a little one.


I've got some good news! - I re-joined Weight Watchers last week, and had my first weigh in last night. I lost 2.2kg in one week!!! Yay me! I've been going to gym regularly, and following the 'no count' plan. I have to lose this excess weight because my feet ache, and I can't fit into any of my clothes. I just piled on the weight during pregnancy. And now my legs have a weird lumpy feel to them. I went to doc and he thought it was a thyroid problem, but blood test ruled that out. He's ordered more tests which I get results today. Because my ankles aren't swollen he says it's not fluid retention.

Also, Yariv has been especially nice to me this week (not sure why). He bought me flowers, a new office chair (because my back aches), and a digital camera!!! My birthday isn't until February!! How lucky am I??

We are going away on the 30th for an overnight stay. One of my staff is having a formal 21st birthday in her home town and invited us. My parents are going to take care of Shaun, which should be fine. He loves going there - and he never arcs up with them! My step mum adores him and he loves her too.

Well... this post is HUGE... so I better sign off and do some washing.
I'm sorry I haven't been around for a while. Hope you are all well.
