Hello,
It looks like I just got in at the last minute! Julian would love to join the KK. He is on the 24th April. It's no surprise we were forgotten I haven't been on here for awhile I can't believe our little bubba's are turning one. The year flew by so fast!

It's great to hear how all of the bubba's are progressing. We are doing well. Though changing Julian has become a monumental task of wriggling and screaming and it has become my least favourite task. He tears around the place and I am thinking of getting a playpen for my sanity. Has it worked for anyone else? I've started organising his 1st birthday which will be at home, somehow squeezing everyone in. Hopefully it is good weather and some people can hang outside. We both have big families and not inviting people can get very political!

Lulu - wow, you are so close to the end! It must be frustrating with everyone telling you not to bother with Izzy's party, of course you would want to do it.

Kristen - the photos look awesome. You have such a great talent. I wish you were around me and I'd do it for sure!

Tan - great to hear your u/s went well. Hope you start to feel better soon.

Sarah - glad to hear Noah is sleeping better for you. It makes such a difference doesn't it.

Hi to everyone else

[LoveKnowsNoBounds]

I may have missed out after all! I wasn't quick enough with my reply. No worries, I'll join in next time.

Hey Kelly! Of course we remember you hun! So glad to hear that you are doing well and thanks for popping in to say hi!!! Can you believe these bubs are nearly 1!! Eeekkkk!

We have had a busy weekend BUT the big news is DH and I are sitting here ON OUR OWN!!!! Izzy stayed at mums last night - I called her at 8 and she said that Izzy slept from 7 when DH and I put her to bed and slept til 730 old time (daylight savings old time!!! ) So 630 which is great, not one stir throughout the night!! She is having a nap at the moment so we will go pick her up at 11! Its been nice but I have to say I miss her terribly and its so quiet! Both of us jumped when DH turned the channel on the radio over last night and looked to see if Iz had woken up ! and then laughed at ourselves! The gig we went to was great but we didn't really stay out too late because we were both tired and we both woke up early too - typical!

Anyway Im off to try and design these invites for Izzy's birthday- have a lovely day ladies and bubs and will catch you soon!

[sangie]

Hey everyone! Quiet in here, hope you have all had a great weekend!

Tan yay that Izzy was so well behaved for her first sleep over, what a star she is!!! He he I bet it felt strange to not have her around. We haven't left Ellie overnight yet, despite both sets of grandparents constantly asking us lol!

Hi Kelly and welcome back! Glad to hear that you guys are well!

Shell I have also been KK shopping already and think I did pretty well too! Hope work wasn't too bad. I think you deserve a gold medal for doing 12 hours shifts and then coming home to 3 kids - you are amazing girl!!

Had a busy weekend here and just got back from a 50th birthday. I was going to try and get some of my work done tonight but don't think its going to happen, I'm way too tired. He he much easier to surf BB!

[Shellbelle]

KELLY!! Good to hear from you!!! Luke looks like a little spunk!! Hope you pop in and say hello from time to time!

Tan - I bet you and Al were lost without Izzy!!! I have left Angus obviously o/n to go to work, but I would have happily left him anywhere last night, he was up about every hour. Hope you had a nice night anyway!!Will be the first of many - believe me, my girls are packing their stuff as I type to go to Grandmas cause it is the school hols. They get spoilt and have no chores there so are always eager to go!!

Lis - i though I have must have been the only crazy shopaholic to go KK shopping already!!!! I dont mind going to work, but guaranteed with the combo og lack of sleep etc I get sick really easily. Spent all yesterday with aches and pains/ sore throat etc, and today feel worse!!! Think I need to take vitamins or something, cause with BF as well I am exhausted!!!! Am actually about to do job application for a higher job that is more hours, wasnt going to but money wise we need it!!!

Anyway guys, spose to be taking car in for service today but dont think I will. I feel so cr@ppy I just want to go back to bed!!!! I am so over getting up a million times a night. I am seriously thinking about switching him to formula cause when I am at work he has bottles and sleeps all night. I dont want to stop BF but I am so physically exhausted, the rest of the family suffers cause I am tired and cranky.

Anyway, better cook some brekkie. The girls have requested boiled eggs, might cook Angus one too! He hasnt had one before! Hey, one thing I found that he LOVES is cheese slices!!! He had 2 after dinner last night!! And grapes! Anyway, BBL, cya!!

Kelly - good to hear from you. Been wondering about you and Luke and what you've both been up to.

Tan - yay for a sleepover for Izzy at grandma's house. Must have felt weird not having her in the house but now that its done for the first time hopefully you can really enjoy it in the future - especially with your little gumnut on the way.

Lis - I still have to do my KK shopping - better get to it soon or else I'll be sending DH out from the labour ward!

Shell - you must be so tired. I can understand you not wanting to lose bfeeding completely but you need to balance your own wellbeing as well. Good luck with the egg experiment. Izzy eats eggs but still won't touch cheese - very frustrating!

I've reached the "I just want it over" stage. I drove 450kms on Saturday to visit my grandmother who has just broken her hip and then yesterday spent the day with Izzy and my DH, who seems to have been possessed by some creature that is a pain in the ar*e. After not really talking to me all day I gave him his dinner at 7.30 pm and took Izzy to bed. When I came down at 8.20pm (little minx was not cooperating!!) I told him I was going to bed and he didn't even comment about the fact that I hadn't had dinner. Now I'm not expecting him to run around after me or anything, but surely you'd think a guy would make sure his 8.5 month odd pregnant would had had something to eat! Schmuck. Tossed and turned all night and I think I got about 2 hours sleep. So, other than taking a mattress to my parents' new house today (yay they're moving today!) its going to be a really quiet day while I think of ways to perform castrations if his mood doesn't improve.

I hope you all have better, slightly less violent days!

[Beach Mama]

Awwww Danni - Im so sorry I was meant to let everyone know why you were MIA and I forgot so big apologies!!!!! Blame the baby brain!
Hope everyone is well - Im absolutely stuffed after work this week - will try to check in again later for personals! I just can't believe my girl is walking.. After starting with a few steps here and there between DH and I now she is pretty much walking everywhere - I just look at her and think, where is my baby??
Back later!

[LuluHB]

Ooops - posted twice. That's what happens when you get impatient and hit the button again!!!

[Sair]

Wow, a little quieter here so easier for me to cope! I just got back from the gym and finished up the last of the 12 auctions I was setting up for the day. I thought I would pop in and catch up before I head to bed! Now lets see..........

Lulu- Lets hope the last stretch goes quickly and you can meet your happy healthy princess soon. I agree that DH needs to be a bit more attentive, lets hope he was tonight.

Michelle - Hope Angus sleeps for you tonight, I bet the DST has thrown it for even more of a loop, it has here with a 5am wake up for the day. How did the egg go over? Do you find that the grapes make the poo a little runnier? I have heard horror nappy stories about grapes and don't think I want to go there.

Tan - Way to go on the overnighter! What a brave woman you are. Glad you got a night off, I am sure you needed it.

Kelly - How could we forget? Glad to hear you are going well, and hope you stay in touch. It isn't easy that is for sure...

Ash - Great news about Blake sleeping that 12.5 hours for you, I hope he keeps it up.

Sorry to anyone else I missed, I am aiming for an early bedtime incase little master wakes up at 5am again!

So for my news!!! My flight is booked!!! I leave for Canada on May 10th and come back on Aug 3rd. I am so nervous and feel like I will never be prepared but at least it is set in stone and I have no choice. I am trying to pick up as many hours of work as possible to save money but stupid bills keep draining it so I did a wardrobe cleanout and over the next week I will be putting over 50 auctions on eBay and hopefully that will get me a bit more cash. So the stress meter is up and up and up but the good thing is I have 3 months to relax before coming home and jumping in to my interior design business.

Well 10 mins of typing is enough, I better hit the hay! Hope everyone has a great week!!!

[Beach Mama]

No worries Jan!!! Could you PM me your address please!!?
Glad to hear Julian is doing so well!!!

We are starting to plan Izzy's birthday too - I can't believe it - I told DH today, our little girl is ONE next month! Not in 6 mths not 3 mths but next month and we both had a giggle!

ETA- Have pm'd you Jan - not too late at all!

[Shellbelle]

Thanx Tan - now to go shopping!!!

[lee75]

Thanks Tan for organising the KK, I am heaps looking forward to going shopping!!!

A big hi to everyone, I am just about to go to bed, so will try and come on another night this week and catch up. I have been reading, work is full on at the moment and I actually hate going to work for 40 hours per week, its really a killer.

Catch up with you all soon

[Kazmar]

[sangie]

Thanks for organising Tan, can't wait to go shopping ! What are you doing for Izzy's birthday?

Hey Jan glad Julian is going so well!!!

Hi Kass, great to hear from you hun! How is Annabelle?

Lee I sympathise, I work 45 hours a fortnight and I am exhausted! Don't know how I would cope doing that many a week! Take care of yourself!

Ok so don't be surprised if somebody gets an early KK present lol, I may get too excited and just HAVE to post it! Ok Ok I will try and hold off

[Ashlee]

yahoo I'm going to hunt high and low to find something fab. $15 will be a challenge but if that's what we've agreed on then koolie doolie.

I'm just at an intrnet kiosk before work, all is going well. Blake adores daycare and he is so happy when he see's me after a long day away from each other. Dave has been picking him up and apparently he headbangs to his heavy music all the way to come pick me up lol too cute, they are so funny together, melts my heart.
He slept 12.5 hours with only one waking last night, I couldn't believe it - I heard him talking at 6:55 and I went in at 7 and there he is sitting up just playing with a bottle waiting for me. I'm so much more in awe and love with him since he has become a different baby, I'm finally getting to enjoy 100% of the time I have with him!!!!
