Hi beautiful friends

Can't believe it's Christmas tomorrow. I am so freaking excited this year....only because Maxy is! I wanna bottle his excitement and keep it for me for ever and ever!

Saffi I spent 2 hours wrapping Max's presents yesterday, as well as my own and can't wait for him to open them all tomorrow morning. They might be young, but I really do think they get it in some way. Every day I've been giving Max something in his advent calendar. Been telling him that father Christmas only comes when he is asleep and he gets so excited in the morning when he sees the chocolate wrapper (choc has to be left in the fridge!) with a note on it from FC saying what a good boy he'd been the day before and that he got this chocolate because.....blah blah! P.S Leather couches are the bomb...don't know how I ever lived with a fabric one (so gross!)!!!

Kaz I hope you feel better now. You've really had a hard time with this pregnancy. A bladder infection that spreads to your kidneys is really painful...that's what my friend had to go to hospital for when she was here visiting (spent the whole time there) and was on the IV drips etc. She was not in a good way, and she didn't have a baby growing in her to boot. You don't have long now till your little blue bundle is out and you can have your body back! I hope 2010 is a better one for you and your family on the illness front x

Trish WOW your big boy going to school. I can feel your pain/happiness all rolled into one! I'll be such a blubbering mess the day Max heads off to anything for a day without me! I find it hard to let him go now as it is! Can't wait to see him in a school uniform though! What a proud moment that will be! I love seeing the pics of Alana and the boys on FB.....they are all so gorgeous. I sure do remember the 4 month sleep regression....I thought I had an angel baby till that 4 months hit!!! Luckily I had all of you to go through it with!!

Pish How are you feeling? Wow two little bubbas for you to look at! I gawk at tiny babies when I see them here and just think...WOW I'm going to have another one come mid next year! If your friends little bubba was 6lb when born 4 weeks early I bet he would have been a big one full term! I was only 6lb 12oz born......shame I never stayed a small petiete person!! I can share your undies joy too! Max is going so well....he now tells me when he needs to do wee's AND poo's and can sleep his entire day sleep in undies with NO accidents. I don't know how it happened but I'm not knocking it!

I'll Be back to finish my post.....Max wants to go and see stimpy our friendly 'feral' cat!
