Hello everyone - hope you are all fabulous!!!

Jan - arent the babbles and giggles just adorable! I was talking to mum and she was saying enjoy every day because these little ones will do something new every day that will never come back - *sniff sniff* not newborns anymore.... Thanks for the well wishes, Al is getting better and Izzy seemed to have fought hers off as her temp has stayed below 38 - a little raised but nothing dramatic thank goodness. Im hoping in a way that I get it so my immunity builds up and she wont get it at all- but somehow it looks like we both have missed it!
Hope you are doing well and have had another good day!

Hey Lulu! Dating scan - how exciting!! Does it seem real yet? I think Im still in shock but so excited for you!

With Al's new job - we are a bit unsure whats happening next year - he is on a contract til December (to get out of paying him for 3 weeks stand down over Christmas - gotta love workplace reform) so we need to see if it will be renewed for next year - we are about 99% sure it will - but you never know! Provided he is still there -Im planning on doing emergency teaching up to 2 days a week. Just this week I have decided that I dont want to go back part time- I dont want to have to write reports, go to meetings, do planning etc. With CRT I can turn up at 845 and leave at 345 and get paid great money. Downside is the irregularity but if Al is still at Docklands we can wing it!

So now to decide what to study - am thinking teacher librarian or welfare - still looking into my options. A Masters is around 10k -not that keen on that now!! Ha ha!

Ooh Im so excited too - we are starting swimming lessons in October!(Wish it was sooner) I found a place that doesnt just do familiarisation but actual lessons based on developmental stages with the aim that the bubs can swim by 18months old! I think its so important - we have a pool and spend lots of time by the beach too! Im going to start bathing her in the big deep bath to get her used to water too and also going to start going to the pool so she is used to the water before the lessons start!

Also had our MCHN apppointment this week- growing beautifully!! 5990 grams! (One feed off 6kgs!!) and 59.6 cms!

Ok gotta go do stuff! A few new pics online - there is a funny one of AL reading to Izzy and it looks like she is reading the book too!!

Take care all! xox
