Now I'm feeling very told off for moving stuff LOL! I can't help it, I am a bit stubborn like that. My mum is exactly the same, it's genetic . We work until we are literally falling apart!
Amelia - Wow, you have great taste LOL! It's such a gorgeous bassinette isn't it? I paid $75 for it and it came with sheets and a gorgeous pink blanket. It seriously looks like it's new . I had the Boori Matilda cradle for K, and although it is lovely, I didn't like the fact that it rocked whether you wanted it to or not! I found it really hard to pat him off to sleep in it because it constantly swayed, so after a day I put him straight in his cot and sold the cradle.
Kellie - Yuck, housework! I'm trying not to look at mine atm, maybe it will just magically get done by itself? I'm more than happy to share my baby shopping tips LOL!
Kaz - Yay for the mints helping! They only make things worse for me . I've heard fruit tingles can work wonders too because they get fizzy.
Saffi - Aww you poor thing . Don't cough on me, I've had my fair share of sickness lately . We have a Phil & Ted's E3 pram which is the older one. It seems pretty good, it's nice and narrow and not to heavy to lift. It's going to be a pain that I can't fit shopping underneath though. The dresses your MIL made sound so lovely . I bet she loved making them!
Trish/Amelia - we have the same bassinette!! How beautiful is it?? I brought mine brand new on sale for $125. I was the same, saw it and had to have it! I love that it's bigger than average so I'm hoping bub will stay in it for longer. I've had three different bassinettes for each bub, hoping this will be the best. DS hated the last one which was a beautiful antique wicker one, but not very practical it turned out so I sold that ages ago. Made lots of money on it though cause we had repaired and resprayed it etc.
DH set ours up in our room on the w/end just so we could see where it fit etc. Going to wash all the bassinette sheets (are you guys using cotton or flanelette sheets??) etc today or tomorrow, crappy weather today so might wait till tomorrow when it's supposed to be sunny. $75 is a GREAT price Trish, I was watching a few on ebay and they were holding their value pretty well, most selling for around $120-140. I have NO idea why people were buying them second hand for that much when they retail for around $150 so I just went and brought a new one!
Saffi - wow, I didn't realise how close behind me you are!!
Trish - nursery pretty much done for now. After boo arrives we'll decorate it properly. A friend returned 3 boxes of stuff yesterday so I went through that last night. So have another load of clothes, sheets, wraps etc to do and also have to wash the car seat cover, rocker cover and bouncer cover...then I think that's pretty much it! Going to make a start on packing my bag this week too. I was a bit worried we wouldn't have enough winter/long sleeved clothes but there were heaps in the stuff I got yesterday so we'll have plenty now. If we have another boy, we have sooooo many clothes that I've already told my mum to tell people no clothes if they ask what to buy the baby as a gift...I'm not expecting many gifts actually for bub #3 but mum thinks I'll still get plenty
Hope all the sick mummies and babies are feeling better soon
And great news on all the tiny bubba scans

Kaz Glad you starting to feel better, & also glad you had a great weekend.
Kate yay for being a SAHM again.
Trish naughty naughty, Hope your feeling slightly better today,
Willow can't believe how close you are to your due date, i'm so looking forward to your BA.
Saffi hope you feel better soon. We have the Vibe & i love it.
Only downside is when they're both in the pram there is no room for bags etc & it can feel heavy.. Overall it's a smooth ride & both my girls love it.
Nothing new here, seems all of us have either a cough(Kodi & I), a Temp & the sniffles(Maddi) & just the full on flu (Phil). The joys of winter!
celtic, it really is hard and im very lucky to be able to come back to it... i'll be tring to look for a part time job though thats for sure.
kim, that sounds like a lot of fun, the couple of times i have left lochie overnight killed me too....
trish, thats so cute that you were nesting.... i was big on the nesting with lachlan, i detolled his entire room about 3 weeks before he was due, lol.
amelia, no good about the fights, especially with new bub not far off.... hope it gets better
nerida, i was at the baby show yesterday aswell. i bought 12 new nappies so i more than doubled my mcn colection while i was there, was a whole lot of fun hehe... Lachlan is really good, he is so so so much fun at the moment. i hear a new word every day and he continually does stuff to impress us, we are laughing all day. he has a big range of words now too... its so much easier than guessing what he wants. im starting a little play group too for all those brisbane girls if you are interested. give me ideas and days if you want.
kaz, like i said before it was massively hard to work full time and full time mum. i have a new found respect for working mums thats for sure.
kellie, im houseworking today too, trying to catch up on the last four months worth, oops :P
mo, i have been watching your beautiful girls on FB. they are so cute!!!! i will start ttc in 12 months and hopefully ill get a girl...
amber, did you go to the baby show??? how many mcns do you have now?
anyways, thats all for now... will chat soon girlies
Kaz- congratulations on your pregnancy, sorry ive been away and just seen your ticker!
Saffi- we bought a phil & ted whe i was pg with Tyron. Seeings Nixon was only 18months old when Ty was born he was still in the pram all the time. its good because its not a side by side so fits everywhere, it does baby & toddler or 2 toddlers. Doesnt have a stack of storage though when u have 2 toddlers cause the basket becomes feet area.
Willow- wow 35weeks for you!
we went to melbourne for a trip, just me and the boys. I drove down on my own and all! it was great i caught up with lots of friends, went past my old house we built, went to my gf baby shower was the starting reason why i went, caught up with my old mums group and prem playgroup, an old neighbour etc. it was exhausting at times but i feel i accomplished a big acheivement!
my mum went down for a few days so actually drove back with us so was good to have someone else or i prob would have split the trip into 2 days.
kate- thats great u guys are talking ttc again! and 12months will come around pretty quick im sure!
kim- thats aweomse to get some help to have a weekend away how nice!
Saffi, I have the p&t E3 as well which is a older model but I love it esp when Ihad both the boys in it. I barely noticed that I was pushing 2 kids in it! It is really easy to fold down and very light as well. The thing about reviews is that is covers every ones opinions so you will get the bad ones with the good. What were some of the comments about it?
My oldest Cyndell is doing OK she has no voice so she is getting picked ona bit LOL and because she is whispering Kaleb keeps whispering at her back it is so cute.
Well I treid kaleb in the bottom bun tonight after his day sleeps were going so well in it. he played around for a bit but went to sleep OKish so I will keep it up I think and I will put the cot away thsi weekend! Very scarey my baby is growing up tooooooo quickly.
I'm here and the move is over (until our 12 boxes of carpola arrive!)! I still don't have a computer at home, so my messages will be few and far between. Don't forget me though!
I'm sorry to hear about all the sickies out there.....winter is awful! I wouldn't know about that anymore! I don't think Singa's has seasons! It's just Hot & Muggy constantly.
Max travelled well on the plane, and has settled in well here.....he went to bed at 9pm tonight though, he was so tired! It's hard because their day's start late and end late....doesn't stop my boy waking at 6:30am still though!
I'll be back in a couple of days...don't talk TOO much!!!!
Doesn't look like I'm going to make my EDD. Waters broke about an hour ago, called the hospital and they have told me to come in. PIL are on their way in to look after L and my mum is busy making a flight booking to be here asap.
