Babies Born May 2007 #14

Oh Tan, That is terrible news. I lost my Grandma when I was 15wks preg with Angus, and it was so hard cause I really wanted her to meet bubs. Does he live close-by?? Will you get to see him?? Thinking of you and Al and Izzy xxx On a positve shopping note, I have an ergo and love it. Also check out mei tais (spelling) there is a website, maybe google catbirdbaby and you will find it!! I also had a hug a bub which was great with a newborn, but was a bit hot up here once winter was ove. I sold it and then got the ergo. Have to say it is really easy to use, but the only drawback is they can only face you not outwards iykwim. But I dont think I would bother with the baby bjorn imo!!!

Ash, I am really sorry to hear of your loss. And as for Scott, what a toss. I can't believe men sometimes, he is only hurting his relationship with Blake by thinking of himself. Good to hear you are well and your new man sounds like a keeper!!!

Kristen, good to hear that all is well with your photography!!! I think we are all in denial - where has the last year gone!!!!

Lulu, sounds like you did well in the pram dept!!!! Why don't you like the p&t's? They have good bits and bad I spose, and a pram is such a personal thing hey!

Hello to everyone else!!! I am in a hurry so will have to cut it off there and do part 2 of personals later!!!!

The kids and I are home alone as DH has gone away for a fishing comp. SO will be pretty quiet round here tonight!!! thanks for missing me too by the way Tan I have had so much on my mind I have been too busy to sit down and type! DH is thinking about changing jobs interstate perhaps, so I am a bit anxious about leaving all my family. the company he works for has been sold so his job and all the bonuses etc may be cut, so I am a bit stressy about everything. At least i know I can go work if need be to help with the bills etc, but all the same I am a bit worried about what the next few weeks might bring. Anyway, I really better go cook dinner for my angels!!! BBL!! No hubby so I can sit on the comp and do what I want all night!!!

Tan I'm so sorry to hear about Al's grandpa, thinking of you guys during this hard time. We lost 2 grandma's last year (both on DH's side) and it was absolutely heartbreaking so I know what you guys are going through. On a happier note, I bet that your 'bump' looks gorgeous! We are seriously re-thinking the 1st birthday in the park idea after the week we are having! For those non-melbournites, it is ***** freezing and raining here!!!

Lulu it is said 'Ell enna', exactly how it is written although it can be said 'El ayna' which I think is more common in europe. I was worried that people would pronounce her name wrong but so far everybody has got it right. I guess the big test will be when she goes to school though. I find it so funny that your DH thinks there is no need to decide on Ned's name yet. Maybe a huge whack to his head will make him realise that she will be here very soon lol! Anyway not to worry, I'm sure you guys will come up with the perfect name for your princess.

Ash hun I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Stoopid Scott giving you a hard time is the last thing you need. Just makes you realise how much better off you are now hey?? Anyway sending you some super squishy hugs and I hope that things settle down for you guys soon.

Shell sorry you are having some money stresses but I'm sure it will all work itself out. Where are you thinking of moving?

Hi Kristen, yay on resigning!! I had to laugh about still trying on 000 clothes. I wish Ellie could still wear some of those clothes, they are so cute and some of them barely got worn as she grew so fast!

Dan yay for shopping for winter clothes! We have recently done the same thing as the weather has gotten so cold. I couldn't resist some cute little tracksuits, so cute! And OMG I bought more than a few hoodies for El, could not resist

Ok that is as far back as I can read tonight, sorry if I missed anyone. I'm so tired, I have a cold and feeling a bit miserable. Hope everyone is well, catch ya's all later!

Lulu-I feel like doing much more than ripping his throat out, he is such a complete idiot! I hope you can agree on a name for Ned soon, I was so lucky with Blake and knew before we had him, but if I ever had another I'd be completely stuck!!! 4 weeks to go omg I had Blake in 2 days from where you're at...ok that was probably a silly thing to say lol nah just keep your legs closed and she should stay put LOL

Tan-Yep I'm keeping a diary and I write down every text, threat etc in exact form and all convos in detail. I'm not going to lose this battle, no way in hell will he have my little boy for the majority share, 50/50 or less is all I'll settle for! I hear you on active bubbas, mine is a crazy kid! I'm glad to hear Iz is coming along in leaps and bounds, you'll have another soon for her to play with, beautiful! I'm sorry to hear that news sweetie, I hope you're feeling better. He will always know the kids even if he doesn't get to meet gumnut in person

Kristen-PMSL at squeezing Mia into tiny jeans, I'm gonig through the same except squeezing Blake into 0's as he is going into 1's now...omg he is so big! Congratulations on being fully self employed, when were you taking your Qld holiday again?!?!

Shell-Men and fishing, what is with it? Dave is obsessed, he and his Dad go out at least once a fortnight...he has a boat so I've gone twice but they bore the crap outta me lol Which state is DH's potential new job in? Dn't leave me (ok I know you're ages away but still the same state at least hehe).

Lis-Fanks for the hugs, I really do thrive on them of late.

Not much to tell here, a bit nervous about the job tomorrow but I know I'll be fine. I couldn't find any clothes the other day though so now I'm pretty much ging to have to wear maternity clothes to work, verrrry sexy!

Is anyone else weaning their babies from BM/Formula to cow's/soy/goat's milk as yet? Blake has been having half formula, half goat's milk for about a month now and he loves it! So expensive though, but mum knows people who breed show goats so I'll be able to get nice fresh stuff for half the price

Have a good week everyone!
