Afternoon gorgeous ladies,

Tan - You sound so excited about your MCN it's making me wonder whether I need to do some research as to whether I want to do it for this bubba. They sound so confusing though. Might have to put some thought into it. How you all travelling with Al being away??

Liz - Did you end up buying your outdoor setting? I fall in love with one and bought it before measuring my patio, OOPS!! Now Dad and Dave are having to extend my patio as I refuse to return the outdoor setting. Does El love shopping with you? How's the m/s treating you? Will you be finding out the sex of this bubba?

Danni - Best of luck with your scan tomorrow. Hope bubba cooperates and isn't shy. I've been cleaning all day too. Buggered now but the house looks great so it's worth it. Enjoy your BBQ. I'm relaxing on the couch under the air con while Dave and Liv are sound asleep.

Lulu - **** at your BIL!!!! That is so rude asking for his bills to be paid. In Laws!!! Who'd have 'em. I've been out shopping for a pram for Liv and bubba. Just have no idea what to get so now I understand your predictament. I think I'm going to wait until this bubba is about a month or so away and see how much Liv wants to use a pram. I'm so bloody confused. What one do you find best?

Shell - I've been so jealous sitting her in the stinking heat thinking about your pool. Dave wants to get one but really can't afford it, unfortunately. An above ground is in our budget but he isn't really keen on one of them. How your kiddies?

Hi to all the other mums I've missed. I replied in the wrong place so I can't scroll back very far, GGGRRR!!!!!

Everything is ok here. Livvy is learning how to push mummy and daddy's button as well as her boundaries!! Cheeky little munchkin. Like I said she is getting so independant. Now that she is in her bed she even puts her to bed and gets herself up. I go with her just for me cause she certainly doesn't need me. She has dropped her morning bottle too. My little girl is growing up so damn quickly!! The transition to her bed hasn't been too bad. The first day sleep was a nightmare but I made the mistake of starting her in the bed when we had my sis and BIL staying. They dote on Liv something fierce and she knows how to play them, LOL!! She now happily goes into bed, pulls her sheets up, grabs pooh bear and lays down. So cute to watch her little routine. Last night was bad but that was because for some reason the neighbourhood was crazy busy so the dogs barked all night folowed by a storm. I slept with her for a little bit then she was fine. Fingers crossed tonight is much better. We ahve gotten her a little step so she can get in bed easily.

Ok everyone I'm off to watch a movie while I have the TV to myself for a rare change. Chat soon.
