hey guys. just popping in to see how everyone is... i quit work so bck to being stay at home mum, i couldnt handle the guilt.... i have a new respect for all you working mums thats for sure!
Heya Kate good on you for doing what makes you happy . In the end you need to do what you want and what you want for your kids. I wish I could just work part time it would make life so much easier than fulltime. But I might be fired at the end of the year with new bubs so we are going to try and save up as much as we can till then.
Hows everyone else going? Looks like they caught us, nearly got to 20 pages in the last thread hehe
All good here, Craig and i went away for the weekend kiddy free. My MIL came down from NSW to watch them. Was great to get away, but missed my babies so much!
Ours was spent at home, DH getting things ready for a caravan trip next weekend (I'm not going) and me nesting. I managed to reorganise the bookshelf in the boy's room and finish off everything I wanted to do in their room. Then yesterday I rearranged all the stuff stored in our garage, it was a huge job and my back is paying big time for it. I love how DH was in the garage the whole time I was in there doing his own thing, then at the end of the day when he saw how much pain I was in he said "You shouldn't have done that stuff in the garage" . Funny he didn't mind at the time, nor did he lift a finger to help me! If I didn't do it, he wouldn't have and it really had to be done. Anyway...
I went to yet another baby market on Saturday and got a gorgeous bassinette, I was going to use a wooden cradle, but as soon as I saw this bassinette I had to have it! It's a Mothers Choice Coco bassinette and has a wooden frame and calico-type fabric. I want a bassinette so bub can sleep in our room for a little while.
Paycyn - I'm glad Kaleb is getting better. I hope your eldest recovers quickly!
Kim - Glad you had a nice time away
Celtic - Yay for seeing your happy, healthy bub! Does your work know you are pg? It must be so tiring to be pg, working FT and looking after Ryan .
Kate - I hope you are enjoying being a SAHM again!
Mo - Poor Maddi, I hope she is feeling a bit better today. I hope she slept OK last night.
Amber - Aww , I hope you feel better soon you poor love.
Saffi - I hope you are feeling a bit better. Did you end up going to the expo? How cool to know your bub has lots of hair! I didn't find that out with K until he was actually born LOL! Joel was a baldy so it was a bit of a surprise when K had lots of hair.
Kaz - Woohoo for seeing a little heartbeat! Good on you for letting yourself get excited . I know how you feel, I've had two m/c's and it definitely makes you feel nervous until you see your bub on the u/s. Here's hoping you have yourself a little blue bundle
Amelia - I have had loads of crazy dreams while pg! And yep, I can be very spacey at times, I definitely have pregnancy brain. It can be so embarrassing at times LOL!
Julia - Oh my goodness, are you moving to Singapore today?! If so, GOOD LUCK!!! Can't wait to hear how it all goes
Willow - I hope you had a nice time on your "day off"! Did you get your nursery all finished?
Kellie - I'm glad Tahlia is enjoying DC, it makes it much easier on you!
Well, I'd better go and give some boys some breakfast. Have a great day all!
Trish - We got the same bassinette for bubba h on layby!! I love it. Dh was going to get me a Boori Cradle cause I love tem so much and we couldn't afford one for Rhys but I was the same as you and saw the coco and wanted it!! Lol. How much did you pay for it second hand??
Well we are just so and so here. Massive fights between me and DH at the moment. Just sick of being used and nothing being appreciated at all. Just over it in general really!!
A new thread ... yay! Well I am feeling pretty good today and I brought some mints last night and they are doing wonders for my constant indigestion! I just need a plug to stop me going to the loo a million times a night and I will be happy.
We had a great weekend, out to lunch with friends yesterday and then dh took me to Richmond and we had a look at a couple of outlet stores. Pumpkin Patch is huge there and I could have stayed and spent a bucket load of money. In one way a boy would be nice, so I can go on a shopping spree!
Amelia - hope things improve for you and your dh soon, probably doesn't help that you have been sick. Everything seems to get on top of you when you are not feeling 100% !
Trish - you need to start taking it easy! Why do we all think we are supermum's? The bassinette sounds great! We have shared one between my sister's and I, only one of the bubs hasn't use it. So it is kinda sentimental.
Paycyn - glad Kaleb is better, bugger though that one of the other kidlets has it now. Speed recovery to him x
Kim - sounds like your weekend away was just what the doctor ordered, half ya luck! Always appreciate the kids so much more when you have had a break huh
Kate - well done on becoming a sahm again! I take my hat off to anyone who is a working mum, you must be great at juggling that is for sure!\
Celtic - not much difference between us in dates, and I think I might get pushed back to my orginal edd again as well. How are you feeling?
Amber - feeling any better today?
to everyone else I have missed, I was planning on doing heaps of personals, but then I forgot what everyone had been chattiing about cause we have a new thread. So my apologies. Still love you all xx
All I can say is that I am glad you guys are at the end of a computer and not here with me. I am so blah..................... Have taken the day off work as they'd will only send me home if they see and hear me.
We both ended up going to the Expo yesterday. DH wasn't going to go but I guilted him into it. We have found a few prams that we like. The one we were very keen on was the P&T Vibe. It is a new one but when DH went on-line to look at reviews they were very mixed. Those with 2+ what are you doing/going to do about a twin/double pram/stroller?
Kim - how lovely to have a weekend away by yourselves. Kate - good on you for making the decision to stay at home. In the end it comes down to deciding what works best for your family. How's L going? Mo - its actually 7 weeks now. Off to the OB this afternoon so we'll see what he thinks about everything.
Hope Maddi gets better soon. It always amazes me how the little ones can have a high temp, no food in their bellies and still create chaos. Trish - do I have to come down there and forcibly stop you from doing all that heavy moving?
The bassinet sounds lovely. Our bassinet is currently at MIL's being all made all girly. I can't remember if I told you it is the same one that DH was in when he was a baby (plus generations of family and friends since).
Speaking of MIL she made the most beautiful little dresses. One is pink with little flowers (and matching pink socks with a flower sewn on them and the other is white with a lacy overlay. They are so gorgeous. Not the type of dresses she will wear everyday, so I will have to find an occasion for her to wear them.
Anyway to everyone that is sick - hope you are on the mend.
To everyone else - I'm so jealous. Come here so I can cough all over you.
