OK, just been to the Dr. I'm so impatient to find out how far along I actually am! I don't have a scan until January (just in case it is too early to pick somehting up) so have to wait a few weeks.... so I will let you all know as soon as I find out how far along I actually am!
kristie,i know i cant beleive xmas is only 1 week away also.i am organised now so that is good,
james has his grade 6 graduation tonight at the luxor reception centre,it is a dinner and dance and they are doing some sought of show for us also.i cant wait to grab my little big boy and have a spin with him on the dance floor.
chantelle is being babysat as we could only get 4 tickets per family but i think it is better anyway as it goes till 11pm and me and dh can relax and enjoy ourselves.
we go away to qld on the 2nd of jan for 1 week,.
as for new years we are off to ocean grove for a night or 2,i will prob fall asleep before 12 also as i just cant handle late nights tooo well at the moment,i even had a 15 minute power nap on the couch this morning while chantelle walked around me pulling my hair and climbing on me.
we got chnatlle a big kitchen style tent for the backyard which we are lining the floor with rubber mat,we have bought her a sand pit and pool and cubby house to go in it,that way she can play out the back without the 2 laboradors annoying her and she will be shaded.it zips up the whole way around but you can see in to it.we also got her a swing set that the boys will prob use more than she will yet,a new bike and music set.think that is all.
the boys got a laptop.lots of board games,playstation games,leggo,new tv and dvd player for bedroom and bits and peices,yes i know my kids are spoilt,tut tut naughty mummy!!!!oh well i love xmas
nikki
linda,when was the last time you did a test and got a negative,maybe you could get a rough idea from that.
oh i bet the next few weeks will go so damn slow for you.
congratulations again.
melissa,kelly and tracey,who is next?????????
Hi!
Linda - How annoying!! hehehe. I can't wait to hear! Their will be new bubbas popping up all over the place next year! hehehe.
Nikki - Have fun tonight!! How exciting!! Wow he'll be in high school next year!! That's wierd you were only allowed 4 tickets - but I agree that it will probably be easier with her being babysat. You're so brave going away over chrissy! I'm sure you'll have a great time though. Sounds like the kids are going to have a great Chrissy with all those pressies!!
K - Louis has finally gone to sleep today! I think I might have a nap myself! We went to the park for a walk today and he had a 30min nap so he's been really hard to get down this arvo. I was hoping he would have stayed asleep and had a big one this morning but my niece was down there with her school so I think he was too excited!
Oh my gosh Linda - congrats!! I cant get over how many people I know of that are pregnant at the moment!
Nothing to say here, went to robbie williams last night and stayed in the coty with one of my friends which was great. I am so in love with robbie! I would definateyl go see him again!
Well I am off, got to get some sleep, didnt get to bed untill 2am!!
Oooh Cindy - Glad you had a good time! I think he would be great! Hope you get a good nights sleep!
I'm heading off to sleep soon but have only just sat down for the night so want to chill out first!
Sweet dreams everyone!
Linda WOW congratulations. I know you have been trying for a while so that is awesome news. Hope the next few weeks go quickly for you so you can get your EDD and see bubs. What a great xmas present.
Nikki hope you had a great night at James graduation. You do spoil your kids but hey thats our job as mums isnt it :)
Cindy glad you liked robbie. My SIL went to and loved it. I heard some really good things about his concert. I have his DVD and even that is awesome so cant imagine what he is like in real life.
Kristie glad you had a nice weekend away but it is good to get home.
Melissa hope everyting is ok with your family xmas plans and your sister. What is Benjamin up to these days?
Well last night BIL and his GF came home to Melb to live, it was great. Off to see them this afternoon once Jordan wakes up and having dinner there tonight. Jordan just adores them both and its amazing that he hasnt seen them in 2 months and he doesnt go shy. He was all over Aimee (GF) last night, he didnt even want me which is a change.
Jordan is doing really well on only 1 feed a day and I must admit it was easier than i thought. I am glad I did it and it wasnt overally traumatic.
Did some more painting this morning, oh I hate it :( but we are nearly finished. Need to get house back to normal for xmas day as lunch is now at our house.
Have a nice day everyone
Guess what??
Louis is going to be in a Target catalogue!! (Hopefully!!) We have to head down to the studio tomorrow at 1pm so hopefully he will be happy and smily for them!!
I'm so excited!
Tracey - Have fun at dinner tonight! It sounds great that you all get along so well! It's always good now when bubbas enjoy someone else to play with as well!
Hope you get the painting done soon - I so don't blame you for being over it!
Ooh!! How exciting Kristie!! HOpe he charms them!!
Wow kristie on louis getting some work! He will surely wow them with his big beautifu; smile.
We are of to tinlids tomorrow for them to meet tori, she has been ringing me heaps the past week or so to get in there so al is going to take her in at lunch time! I'm hoping she smiles for them. I have spent the day getting new photos of her and al just trid to download them off the camera and they were somehow deleted from the camera and not saved on the computer coz the computer had no memory left! Bugger!!!!!
night all
Hi!
I'll let you know how it goes!
Linda - How are you feeling?
Cindy - What a bugger you lost the photos! I'm sure she'll take Tori - when we went down it wasn't a stressful thing or anything she just had a chat and it was all relaxed. Good Luck!
Well, I'm getting ready for bed! I'm sooo tired!
Oh no Cindy!!! Argh!!
Kristie - I feel fine! I feel completely normal - so it's really hard to get my head around it all still. I am somewhere around 5-6 weeks I think.
Hi!
I hope you're all well!
Louis and I just got back from the photo shoot. It went really well. I don't know when I'll find out if they'll use his photos but of course I thought he looked cute! hehe. Hopefully they may use even one just so we can keep it! It was a winter clothing shoot though and the studio was sooo hot. He had to wear pants, shoes, long sleeved t-shirt and jacket! He didn't even grizzle! Anyway, we shall see!
He slept in the car on the way but didn't get much sleep so I've just put him down again now for a nap! I don't think he'll go to sleep but I think I'll lie down as well as I'm buggered! hehe.
Speak soon!
Kristie - You'd think the place would have been air-conditoined...Well Done Louis!
Cindy - My mums computer did the same thing to pictures of hers, but it wasn't because of low memory, it was because hers was about to kick the bucket.
Tracey - Not much doing here. Benajmin has a big day without mummy and daddy tomorrow. He's going to his aunts all day and over night. He's in good hands there, but I'm not sure how I'll cope yet? And I thought he was the one with a tad separation anxiety? :confused:
I'm so tired at the moment. I've got heaps to do and not enough time to do it all. I'm feeling worn out...
Melissa
Melissa I know what you mean about seperation anxiety. I nearly didnt go to my xmas party cause Jordan was upset and I didnt want to leave him. I am sure you will both be fine though.
Krisite I hope we get to see Louis in target catalogue. WOW on winter catalogue already! I wonder how long before they would put it out. Winter seems so far away at the moment.
Linda Glad to see you are feeling well. Again I am so pleased for you.
CIndy Hope Tori does well at tinlids tomorrow. I am sure she will she is a cutie. Bummer about loosing the photos.
Nikki hope you are doing well. How did graduation go? is Chantelles head better now?
Well today was just awful, not only was worked flat out but I got AF with a vengence. It was painful and at one stage I thought I was going to pass out. I am not sure whats going on with my cycles as they are getting really awful.
Jordan had a good day at his grandmas. She got some new toys for him so he loved that. No sleep in the arvo though so he has zonked it already which is fine with me.
Hoping tomorrow isnt too rough with the hot weather and smoke in Melb. Today was awful at work with the smell.
Take careXX
Hi!
Grrr - I'm not getting my email notifications for this thread!
We're going well - After Louis barely got any sleep yesterday he was very cranky and tired last night. Then we had to drop dh's car off as he's about to sell it (one thats been sitting there for ages) so the poor little munchkin didn't go to bed until 8pm! He woke at 6.45am this morning and I just put his dummy back in and he went back to sleep for another hour! woohoo!
Today we have nothing planned! I'm so excited - I don't even have to leave the house! I haven't had a day at home in ages so hopefully I will get all the housework and washing done and maybe a start on cleaning out the kitchen cupboards (a project I was meant to have finished a couple of weeks ago but haven't even started!)
Melissa - I'm sure Benjamin will be fine today! I would be stressed out as well!! You poor thing with feeling so tired - I hope you get a break soon!
Tracey - I don't actually think it will be that far away as winter stuff starts coming out in about Feb I thought! It's like when you start getting summer stock in the middle of winter! hehe. So silly!
Sorry to hear about af being so horrible! As if it isn't bad enough without it making you feel so crap. I'm dreading what mine will eventually be like - considering it will be potentially 3 years without it!
It's meant to be super hot today! I'm staying indoors so hopefully it won't bother Louis and I! I feel so bad for the poor firefighters at the moment. This is just the weather they could do without!
Anyway - better have a shower - hope your all well!
kristie,that is excellent about the photo shoot,i sooo hope he gets in a catalouge,i think he will for sure,he is so georgous.
cindy,i know tinlids will take tori,she is stunning and has a great personality.
melissa,i hope af doesnt continue like this for you in the future.
it is sooo hot here today,i am taking the boys to see charlottes web,it will be cooler there
james graduation was excellent,we had a ball and we were so proud of him.
4 sleeps till xmas.i just love it.
the boys are on holidays now.
i have been booked in to have harry on the 18th of jan.4 weeks to go today.
i am scared,but i am looking forward to meeting him and all the love and joy he will bring to our family.dr was concerned as my placenta has grown over the scar site,so they will give me another u.sound later to see how they will perform the surgey as bleeding will pose as a huge problem......
nikki
where is kelly?????????
nikki
OH MY GOSH ITS HOT!!!!!
Nikki - I cant imagine what you are going through with no aircon. Atleast the movie will give you some relief, i used to go all the time by myself up north to get out of the heat!
Let me know if i can help at all with the boys or chantelle when you have your little man! I am more than hapy to come and hang at your place even if that helps and have the kids. What are you going to do about feeding chantelle? will you try to stop before the 18th or keep going?
Kristie - I hope louis is in the catalogue! I would ove to see him in it.
Tori went well at the agency, she is on the books and caroline thinks she wil have work in no time. She is even keen to have the new bub on the books as she has no new borns at the moment.
Last night was a bad one iwth the princess and i just took her to the drs and she has a chest infection and throat infection which is just great!
Also lastnight she decided she would jump in the sower fully dressed the little terror. I was running the water to get it right for her and she just hopped in! Made for some interesting photos though!
Cindy LOL about TOri getting into the shower with her clothes on.Glad to see that she did well at tin lids. Poor Tori for her chest and throat infection, I hope she gets better soon.
Nikki Hope the movies give you some releif from the heat. Poor darling with no air con.
Well I have done NOTHING today. the house looks like a bomb hit it, there are toys EVERYWHERE. Oh well I will clean it up when Jordan goes to bed for the night.
My old school friend is having a c section right now :) she was booked at 4.30 to have her bubs. I am so excited for her and cant wait to hear what she had. I only got back in contact with her after 9 years about 5 months ago.
Take everyone
Hi!
We didn't really do anything today either! I got the housework done and some washing. Louis had a nearly 3 1/2 hour sleep over lunch so that was nice - I just kicked back. Dh had a fight with his boss today and called me telling me he was looking for a new job next year - I freaked out a bit but by the end of the day they had sorted things out a bit. A bit scary though!
I don't know if I already posted about it but yesterday when we were outside Louis picked up something to put in his mouth so I ran over and luckily I did as he was about to eat a snail!!! Yuck!! He had put it in but hadn't crunched yet! I would have freaked out if he had! hehehe.
Nikki - How was the movie? I bet you were glad to get out of the heat. It's nearly 30deg in our house at the moment even with the air con on!! I'm glad to hear James graduation went well! Is it fun having all the kids home on school holidays or does it drive you crazy?
Wow at 4 weeks to go! I'm so excited for you and your family! A bit scary about your placenta - I'm sure they'll work it all out!
I'm the same as Cindy - If you need a hand at all just yell out!
Cindy - Thats great Tori's on the books! Poor little munchkin with her chest infection though - I hope it clears up soon for her (and you!) Cheeky little thing going into the shower with her clothes on!! hehehe.
Tracey - Sometimes you need days like that!! Don't feel guilty!! Ooh how exciting for your friend having a little bubba. Sounds like it was good timing catching up again!
Dh is on holidays now and will be out tonight and tomorrow night and then he's basically got 4 weeks off with us!! I'm going to get him back into the habit of helping out with the food shopping and housework as I'm only going to get bigger now and will need help with all that in the first months after Dylan is born. The good thing is when we both do the housework it takes about 30min!!
OK - well better go and tidy up and then I can chill out for the night!
Nikki and Kristie - I so have to choose a name for my new princess,I love it how you talk about your bubs in tum by their names.
Here is our short list, you guys need to help me, we are both stuck but really want to decide soon as possible.
Georgia , Kamryn/Cameron, Michaela/Michaelah or Kritsen. All with Jean as the middle name after als gran who died years ago and last name Hay.
I swear it s the hardest part of the baby making process, would do labour every day if i didnt have to think of a name!
I am off to get some zzz's, didnt get much lastnight with tori caughing all night the poor thing!
I just got sent the link to Toris portfolio page at the agency. Not sure if I am meant to post this but here we go.
http://64.106.231.10/models/model_di...=tinlids&cd=VH
Hi!
Cindy - Gorgeous piccies!!! Ooh for names I love Cameron!! I liked that for girls names but my cousin called her daughter that! They all sound great though!
I went to do the food shopping this morning and got sucked into kmart and target - I then proceeded to spend over $100 on clothes for Louis....I'm so so so naughty. I couldn't help it though. Kmart was stocking up on winter clothes as well so I assume the target catalogue won't be too far away! I got Louis the cutest boardies and rashie for swimming! Dh will kill me! hehehe.
Dh is out again today and tonight with the boys from work and when I came home he had left notes around the house for me!!! It's very unlike him to be romantic in any way so I go the biggest smile from it - he even put one up in the toilet!! hehehe. Oh well, it's the least he can do since I'm not getting a chrissy pressie - hehehehe!
Have a good one!
Cindy Great photos of Tori. I hope she gets plenty of work. Love all your names. I like Michaela/Michaelah, I think its sweet. Hope Tori is feeling a little better.
Kristie LOL about DH leaving a note on the toilet, what a sweety though. Its nice when they do something romantic like that. EWW about snail though, lucky you caught him. Louis might have started to like french food :)
Nikki how are you going today in the heat? its awful in our house even with the air con on.
Well we got to leave early today which was nice, work that is. I also got a $50 myer voucher from my bosses boss and 2 free movie tickets WOOHOO I love xmas, they are really generous. I like I will go and buy a nice bra with my $50 I soooo need one.
Jordan was awfullly over tired when we got home. He screamed for about 20 mins before finally falling asleep. Poor darling. I hate it when he gets upset. He is also kneeling in his cot now so that makes is harder to re settle him. Guess it will only get worse when he is standing up in it.
Hope you all have a nice weekend. I have to join the mad rush for xmas shopping tomorrow or sunday as I still have nothing for my mum and dad. I am so slack.
Take care
Well, we had the bed to ourselves last night, as Benjamin spent the night at his aunts. The same is planned for tonight but I'm not so sure with it, because of the breast milk situation. My supply is still going strong, and if I don't feed him for more than 6 hours, they fill up,ache and overflow.
As much as it would be TMI, last night was well spent with dh in the bedroom, practising for the 2nd round of pitter patters. Even though we were very tired from the 4hr drive out and 4hr drive back.
Nikki - I'm sure everything will go great you super mummy you.
Cindy - Of course most names get shortened. I like the unusual names, even though Benjamin was quite a more traditional name which gets shortened to Ben, and entirely the reason why we picked it, because it will grow on him. I like Kamryn. Go with your heart on this one.
Got to go for dinner now.
Melissa
i like kristen,but all the names are nice,toris portfolio is fantastic.
the heat killed me today,so glad the change has hit but am very sad that it is only going to be 16 degrees on xmas day,what a shame.
nikki
Hi!
I'm up this morning and Louis is still asleep!!!! I so wish I could have slept longer! I hate that - I think I'm so used of getting up early now....
Tracey - Yeah on the voucher and movie tickets!! Poor Jordan being overtired. I've been having trouble getting Louis to sleep at night at the moment - I think he's been having his sleep to late (because we've been out and about) and so he's not waking up until 2.30-3pm and then he's not really tired iykwim.
Good luck battling the crowds finishing your shopping!!
Melissa - Wow it must have been great to have some time to yourself!! and a big wow to still having so much milk - that's fantastic!! (although probably not for you - hehe) How many times a day are you still feeding? That would have been great for you and dh to have some fun time!! It doesn't happen very much in our house at the moment!
Nikki - How funny is the weather?? Apparently they're predicting snow on the alps for christmas day! How ridiculous!! I'm not too bothered by the cooler weather as we're having a big sit down roast for lunch which can be a bit yuck when it's hot...however I really hope it's not like this for our camping trip!! hehehe. It was so good to get a bit of rain though!
Well, when dh gets home later this morning (god knows what state he'll be in - he messaged me at nearly 4am this morning that he'd got back to his mates house) we're off to his family bbq! With Louis still asleep I'm not sure whats going to happen with his sleep today. Aaaahhh - it's so hard to organise with so much on at the moment. Hopefully he'll snooze in the car on the way or something and have enough. He's such a handful when he's tired though and I'm sure with all those people around he won't go to sleep there iykwim? It's meant to be at a park too so hopefully it's not too wet.
Hope you all have a great weekend before christmas!!
Hi all
Well no more work for 3 days YEAH i am so glad its over for a few days atleast.
Kristie I know what you mean about bubs having a bad sleep when they are overtired. Jordan was awful to get to sleep last night and I have just put him to sleep now, 9pm (so late for him) Hope Louis had a good day and got some rest in.
Nikki glad the heat is over for you all It would have been nice if xmas day was hotter but I couldnt stand another 35 degree day so 16 is ok with me.
Melissa Yeah on getting the bed to yourself and also having some time with DH that must have been nice
Well today we did 1st coat of stain on toybox jamie is making for jordan. it looks really good. He is also putting letters on it to spell "Jordans toys" it is going to look so nice. We also got him a fish tank today as he loves fish. It is going to go in his room. He is SOOO spoilt but who can help it really.
Hope everyone has a nice xmas eve

Kristie - Benjamin still gets a breakfast and before bed feed and sometimes in between. I'm just a really good cow...:lol:
Nikki - I feel for you in this heat!
Merry Christmas! One and all!
I can't wait to see Benjamin's face in the morning when he starts opening his gifts. I'm arming myself with a fully charged camera.
Tracey - Spoil away! It's good fun :lol:
Melissa

Merry Christmas girls!! Thanks for the Chrissy wishes - I hope you all have a great day too!!!!
Well the day is over and what a big one it was!! Tori had aball though and was very good having two sleeps even with everyone around!
I am off to bed though, i am buggered!
I had flowers delivered today from tori! Aparently she asked her dad to order them for her as she doesnt havea credit card yet. Very cute! Its nice to get flowers.
On the name front - i have decided to leave this one up to al, i chose toris name so this can be his turn and that way i dont have to think of it anymore!
Merry christmas to you all, i hope you all had a great day, and as Nikki said, you have all become such wonderful people to have in my life. Its unbelievable sometiems to think how good a group of friends you can make online!
Cindy how sweet of Tori to get you Flowers (or Al) so glad you all had a great day.
Well Jordan got Spoilt (as usual) and he was so good. He LOVED hos xmas lunch, he had everything. He went to bed at about 8.30 and was up at 8 this morning so I was rapted with that.
I havent been able to get the house back into order though so I am hoping thursday I can get everything back to normal. We have a slide in the back room !!!!!
hoping you had a relaxing boxing day, or one filled with shopping at the sales.
Take care I am off to bed as have to work tomorrow :(
Merry Christmas girls! I hope it's been a good one! I hope you all got spoiled (because I know the littlies would have!). AND I hope the stress is starting to lessen a little for you all. Sending my love and hugs to all!
Happy Christmas lovely mummies. Hope you have had a fantastic Christmas and are enjoying some relaxing holiday time with your families. We were lucky to get Fergus home from hospital in time for Christmas so that was his and our biggest present for the year. Hope 2007 is a better year for us and the best yet for all of you. xx
Kirsty - So nice to hear from you again after what seems like a while :cool: Was I reading correct when you said Gussy Boy came home from hospital for Christmas? Has he been unwell?
Benjamin thoroughly enjoyed Christmas day :lol: We've even got some good down pours of rain since yesterday. It's really cold here today...Brrr!
I hope you are all well? The 3 of us have had the sniffles since before Christmas, so we are hoping they go away soon.
Melissa
