Shell -Hey hun - glad it sounds like you are getting over your lurgies.... we have had it tough this year haven't we. Have fun at the show! Let us know all the goodies you get! They do say girls are a bit more independant than girls, having said that though, Izzy is going through a VERy cuddly stage, and will cry for cuddles at times that I can't give them, like cooking dinner etc.... I think she knows so I have been doing my best to give them before that and then to distract her with a dvd or something else while Im busy. I hope he gets over it soon. Yay for your Tupperware party! I have one on the 6th! Cant wait!!

Kass - Nice to hear from you hun! Hope you are doing ok and working through things. Izzy got her front 2 bottom then 2 top then the two next to those at the bottom and at top (so 8 in total!) then her 3 molars came up! Still waiting on one more molar! Izzy is great! Thanks for your kind words! I had an absolute heart attack but she really was fine about 2 mins after she fell!! Mum and I have beene watching her like a hawk all week to make sure her speech, movement, co-ordination etc are all ok!

Lee - you poor thing - these colds are just horrible aren't they. for you and your Nan, I hope she gets really better soon hun. Don't forget when you have the other one you have to be pg and work UP to your maternity leave Not fun when you are chasing a toddler and the size of a whale! Seriously I am HUGE and only 26 weeks - whats with that!!

Lis - I hope you had a nice relaxing night hun - a dvd and night in snuggling on the couch sounds divine!!

Lulu - MAJOR to you gorgeous - you are doing an AMAZING job and I can understand how you feel hun, splitting my time is my biggest fear and how I will do that without feeling like a bad mummy. Thing is, the fact that we CARE about this stuff makes us good mums hun... I know that there are parents and mums out there that don't and I think that is what separates us all. Off my soapbox now but I hope you were able to have some time when your mum arrived... Hows the P & T going

Dan - isn't this age so fun!! Im enjoying my girl so much right now (although when have I not!!) She is just the most fun little treasure to be around! I just can't go anywhere with her in her stroller for too long! Thinking of you TTC hun and fingers crossed that you don't have to go to the FS and your body will do its thang.

Ash - Huge hugs to you and Blake I hope he gets better soon chick.

D - Hey hun I hope you and Master M are well!

to all I have missed but if I keep going it will take you guys days to read!!

We are well, I am on holidays finally! I thought I was coming down with another cold yesterday but turns out just to be really bad hayfever - WTF - in the middle of winter??? but it was really windy here the other day so i think it stirred up all the pollens etc. Izzy is fine except for her cute geeky monk hair cut I gave her OMG remind me to take her to the hairdresser for a fringe cut next time! im too scared to fix it in case it ends up too short and looks even sillier!!

Im feeling huge right now, I swear I am so much bigger than with Izzy - in fact I know I am because I have been comparing pics!! I am doing lots of exercise though, trying to get fit for my VBAC. Yoga, classes, walking etc! Im also thinking about changing hospitals - crazy I know but there is another local hospital that I sort of forgot about and dismissed that has a much more positive and relaxed attitude to VBAC than the Mercy so I might go there- going on a tour tomorrow night.

DH and I are having a "date day" tomorrow. He is off work and we have both been workign our butts off lately and not really spending enough time on each other so mum is going to take her for the day and we are going out for lunch and going to do some Ikea shopping! I need some toy storage before I go completely crazy!!

Ok Im off ladies have a wondeful Sunday and I will promise to try and keep up more regularly!
