    Karen - so sorry to hear about your niece, that is just horrible

    Not much new with us, we are off to a wedding this afternoon, so Tahlia is staying with my mum. This is the 1st time I've been away from her for so long! I hope she behaves for my mum!

    I wanna move up to QLD but Phil would never do that as he can't handle the heat.

    Kellie hope the wedding went well & T behaved herself.

    I'm really enjoying this warmer weather, us Melb girls should have a meet-up & Ange and i can compare belly sizes lol
    Not much happening here either.

    Hope everyone is well.

    Mo - there is a Melb Christmas breakfast/lunch catch up on the 7th of Dec which I think I am going to, and from memory I think Ange said she was too? Were you going to go to that one? What about the other Melb gals? here is the link

    wedding went well, Tahlia went to sleep for my mum fairly easily and only woke up once while we were gone which isnt too bad considering what she has been like lately

    Its been very quiet in here! Where is everyone?

    Hope everyone had a great weekend.

    Amelia Have fun moving and starting your new adventure!
    Kellie so glad Tahlia was good for for your mum! Hope you guys had a great time!
    Mo works ok but i miss Myles terribly! I am only gone for a couple of hours but I hate not being there! It will only be till Christmas then we will hopefully have another staff member!

    Well not much happening here! We went skiing on the weekend which was great fun! Terri, DH and Mateo came which was exciting! the boys had the best time getting dirty and playing, Myles got a lovely singlet tan! The thunderstorms weren't so fun in a tent but we still had a great time! We cant wait for our holiday house/shed to be settled so we can head up every weekend.
    Other than that we are just the same! Myles is still so cheeky and nearly walking all the time!

    Hope everyone else is good and your bubs are having a great time! xx

    Hi everyone,
    Another crazy day at work. GGGGrrr at children in general. To any teachers out there, I had one of those yelling days. But then I came home to my gorgeous son. He is so cute! He has started snuggling on purpose (usually with daddy) which is gorgeous and this afternoon I got a kiss. I am hoping he is finally asleep. I put him to bed over an hour ago and he has been lying there kicking the wall ever since. I think I need to tell Nana to only give him 1 day sleep.

    I had heartburn tonight. It made me go "ooooh maybe I'm pregnant". Probably not but will have to wait it out.

    Anyway better go.
    Nighty night!

    Hi Girls, sorry I have been awol of late ... so much going on. Oh, including all of us having colds again! I swear (literally) that we have been sick for most of the time since moving to Melbourne. Its really annoying!

    Kids are ok though and getting over it .... Mia is getting back into mischief so surely that makes her better and Tay, well she has been pressing buttons on the dvd player this morning so she must be feeling ok as well. They can both be trying, but I have been stopping and thinking more about my frustrations over the last couple of weeks. At the end of the day we are lucky and blessed to have the girls, even when they are naughty!

    Still havent had the funeral for our niece, its this Friday now. There is a mass tomorrow night as well, which we will go along to.

    Anyway just a quick hi again. Hope you are all well. Chat soon!

    Hey everyone!

    It has been quiet in here! We're good, not much happening. We're planning on going away this weekend in the caravan again to Phillip Island, I don't think the weather is going to be very good though!

    K was being cute today, he was watching the end of Boo-bah all snuggled up with me drinking some water (aww, I love those cuddles) and the voice on the show was saying "Boooo-baaahhh" and K was saying "mum-aaah" each time the voice said it! I think it was the closest he could get to saying "boo-bah". It was so adorable!

    Karen - You poor things all having colds again, how frustrating! I hope you get better soon. I'll be thinking of your family on Friday, it must be such a hard time for everyone.

    alz - Ooh, I hope you are UTD! Let us know how you go!

    Amber - Your weekend away sounds like lots of fun! It's funny how boys love being outdoors and getting dirty! You end up with sooo much washing! How's Myles coping with you working for a few hours?

    Mo - I know you'll love the bassinette, it is so cute!

    Kellie - I'm glad the wedding went well. I may go to the meet up, I haven't read all of the thread so I'm not sure if anything has been set in stone yet. I guess it just depends on where and when it is!

    Amelia - How exciting that you are definitely moving! Good luck!!

    Better run, K just woke up far too early from his nap

    Hi all

    Well we're back from our week away Had a great time. It was so nice to spend the week with L. Anyway, back to work now...

    L woke up this morning with a mozzie bite on his forehead. By the time we picked him up from daycare this afternoon his forehead was all swollen. He looks deformed! Hopefully it will go down soon. He's had a few bad reactions to mozzie bites before but always on the legs. So he has some sort of allergy, but not so bad as to go into anaphalatic shock. Probably should go to the Drs about it.

    Been making cards. I am really loving it. Been going out most lunchtimes to buy more supplies. Think they're getting better too!

    Hope all the Mums and bubs are well.

    So I went out last night with a group of girls I used to work with ... husband free, kids free ... after my day of breaking up biting and hitting arguments between the girls you dont know how nice it was to walk out, forget about dinner, baths, bedtime and have some adult conversation! That said, all we talked about was the kids. BUt this is the first time I have really been out and left the kids to do something like this. I feel a bit rejuvinated let me tell you. So I am happy today ... and so far the fighting hasnt started! How a 2 and a half and 1 year old can annoy each other so much baffles me. Here I was thinking that this type of thing wouldnt start for years to come ...

    Kaz glad you had a nice time out. Will be thinking of you on Friday.

    Amber hope you get another staff member soon & sounds like you had great time on the weekend.

    Alz fingers crossed this your month.

    Trish shame about the crummy weather this weekend, It's been so nice lately.
    It's always hot during the week & crummy during the weekend!

    We took Maddi to Frankston beach on Melbourne cup day & we found this lovely little shallow area for her, She had a great time didn't want to leave.
    Get home undress her for her bath cause she sand every-where & find she has this lovely bruise on her bum cheek. She must of fallen on to rock in the ocean/sand now every time she walks around for free time you this big bruise it's looks cute tho.
    That's my pointless story for the day lol
    Gonna put a belly shot on FB today, it's not the greatest but you'll get the point

    Thanks Amber
    Don't think the bruise bothers her. She's a tough little girl!

    How exicting another personTTC.
    I'm pretty sure that when Ange fell pregnant she had only had 1 AF, Not that answers your question or anything. I'm sure someone else will be more helpful than me.

    Just got some good news.
    Mum might be able to go home tomorrow if the nursing home will take her.
    All depends if they can handle her delusional state.
    Unfortunately she will be like this for good but at least she'll have some good days where she'll almost be back to her old self.
    They're even going to lower one of her meds which makes her a zombie so she'll be more human again.
