Christmas bought us a climber.... on the bench, the table, the FENCE!!!!!

omg and I was enjoying leaving him to play on the deck on his own quietly - not anymore I turn around and he is SITTING on the RAIL!!!!! aaaarrrrrgggghhhh!

Otherwise we had a lovely xmas went out for lunch, I spent xmas eve baking so we have mini xmas cakes, short bread, dutch spice biscuits, butter cookies and today I am make truffles

there goes fitting into all of those old clothes!

We also went to Dr on xmas eve - surprise surprise - and Jake is back on his Losec after sleepless nights and his particular cry he gets with his reflux plus we have a referral for a paed ent for grommets. Still trying everything else so in the meantime it may clear up on its own but it seems his hearing has been affected so it is more a likelihood than ever. Oh and we discussed ttc too - baby making season is open.

mwah kisses to all, enjoy the cricket!

oh christy did you get affected by the power cut? what are you doing today?

**tiggerandpooh** · December 26th, 2007, 08:30 AM

you were a busy girl baking Nelly! I hope the new year brings some resolution for Jake and his little ears hun. I wonder how long it will be before you are sporting a baby bump!!! Your friend Sharon is coming here to take photos tomorrow. I hope the weather holds off. I am loving the cool, but would be poo if it was raining.

Today we are watching films and having a lovely lazy day. Can't beleive that one week of Rich's holidays are nearly over. and we are still talking!! lol.

***EmJa*** · December 26th, 2007, 08:49 AM

Merry *late* Xmaz everyone.

Our xmaz sucked...i spent the day in bed feeling sorry for myself.

Since my breakdown 2 weeks ago ive been worse. MIL had to come down for a week to help out. then hearing some news about a friend and her baby got to me so ive been hibinating in bed most days.

Ive not read thru the last thread so i hope everything is going well and ive not missed anything important??? If so please fill me in!

Blanche...wow...a prince....half ur luck

Thank you for all the sms and PM's Jol's, Tara and Vicky...means a lot to me.

Today we are opening xmaz pressies....better late then never.

My friend had a little girl this morning, Amalee Eileen..its her 2nd DD. The text message i got said she was 'full of rolls'.

**Gigi** · December 26th, 2007, 03:22 PM

hugs to you Kim -

how are your eyes Christy?

congrats on the walking well running Evie Taralee

dh and i are sort of still talking - when we need to - i have seven more days to get thru with SD here - finding it really hard - i already want to cancel next year's xmas - i think last year's was a write off with a 6week old baby, and i guess i assumed i would have it myself more together this year, i think i would have coped if i hadn't been landed with having SD for xmas at the last minute - i am not coping well with sudden big changes these days. We are all in each others faces constantly in this tiny unit, no personal space - i think it's driving all of us crazy. No outdoor space here to actually enjoy either.

Vicky - how is your pain levels after the exploratory surgery? Glad you had a lovely xmas, sounds great.

**visitor1** · December 26th, 2007, 04:15 PM

OK... we have the whole shopping centre toy and clothing department in our house!! The girls were spoilt rotten

**taralee** · December 26th, 2007, 08:14 PM

Kim, you're 'lonely' face breaks my heart. what can we do to help you?
DH and I had a big talk last night, sorted it all out so we're back to super-team again. I know I was mega-overreacting..but we all have our faults i guess.
We did have a lovely Christmas and so on.
I sure do have one monkey of a baby. I also taught her to do 'crazy head' so when i ask where her crazy head is she bobs her head from side to side and goes 'waaa waa waaa waa'. man alive its funny

**visitor1** · December 26th, 2007, 08:38 PM

Soz Tara...ive changed my mood for ya!!
How cute is Evie and her head boping!

**christy** · December 27th, 2007, 06:27 AM

*hug* Kim its good to "see" you back here. I was getting pretty worried about you mate. I hope there is some light at the end of this for you. Its such a hard thing, especially at Christmas. I upped my ad's last week to get me through as my GP told me too. It made all the difference.

The girls had a great Christmas, I on the other hand haven't been so good. I got the flu for Christmas

Yesterday I got feverish and would shake with goose bumps all over & put on layers of clothes & blankets & sleep and then wake up and be sweating profusely and then it would start all over with achy muscles. Bit better today, but still with a slightly mangy eye & sore muscles. Grrr... .and I have to go to work tomorrow

**luua** · December 28th, 2007, 12:09 PM

Hi Guys,

I'm back and lurking around. We had an exhausting xmas. Ella also got spoiled rotten

We went to my ILs on Monday and Ella slept OK but she took a while to go down so i missed out on xmas eve dinner and ended up eating on my own...
Dh was sick (has been for the last 3 weeks) so he couldnt help me with Ella. THe second night she woke up every 30mins!!!! i finally got sleep at 5am after trying everything and realisng she must be cold. So i popped a blanket on her and went to sleep while everyone else was waking up on the farm.. Only slept for 2hrs before i heard my MIL go into ella's room and get her up for the day!
It hasnt felt like a holiday at all.

Nelly - Ella's cousin has grommets and is doing so much better. He was constantly getting ear infections but now is clear of them.

Jols - OMG you scared me i thought you were preggers. Are you DTD and TTC these days?

Christy - sorry to hear about your flu. Did they girls enjoy xmas?

Tara - Evie is too cute! she could be a back up singer bopping along like that. I've been trying to get Ella to say Please but we're not getting anywhere. She just points and points.

Kim - LOL at your friends "rolly polly" baby. Makes me want another one...ahhem well after i catch up on sleep first.

Vicky - sounds like you had a lovely lazy break

Gigi - its hard having family over sometimes isnt it? I was VERY ready to leave my ILs.

Blanche - hope you had a great break visiting family. How's the little man inside doing??

Ann

**visitor1** · December 28th, 2007, 01:03 PM

Well i went and seen my friends bub yesterday...soooooooo cute...as for rolls..yep she is rolly...but only weighed 3.4kg! I was sooooo clucky....but unfortunatley Jasmine was to be our last baby

Today Jasmine had a check up....nurse got me to do a PND test....hmm i failed

So now she is calling in the enhanced team to work with me. Craig and i got to the bottom of why i am so depressed...i wont say though as i dont want to be judged (and i KNOW 100% that none of you ladies would do that....just not posting it due to issues ive had in the past).

Chelsea is going well...starting to use her Ta mama manners well. When ever i say shower time Chelsea she runs for our bathroom and demands her clothes to be taken off so she can jump in! Does the same if she knows we are going in the car...runs to the front door and as soon as its open, runs (walking but at light speed) to her side of the car! So cute.

Uh oh is now repleced with oh dear or what sounds like bugger!

Teeth galore in her gob....and knows how to use em!!

**christy** · December 28th, 2007, 01:19 PM

Kim sounds like you are making some progress with the PND hun, you are a fantastic mummy!!

Jols & Ann glad to hear you are back & survived!

Gunky eye is still mangy

**Olive** · December 28th, 2007, 07:29 PM

ANN man inlaws just dont get it sometimes do they!! when sophie was younger id specifically state that no one was to get sophie up in the morning!!!!!! they were happy with that!!
