Becky - great to hear from you and well done on the posts to everyone! Good luck with whatever you decide on having no 3. I am daunted by going to no 3, but very excited to welcome our little fella to the mix. Definately it for us though, this has not been the best pregnancy and I am looking forward to getting my body back in some kind of shape when I have recovered for the c section!
Mo - great to hear you have Maddi in daycare once a week, I bet it is a great break for you. Also exciting about the dance classes! We are going to put Mia in some after the baby arrives and everything settles down. She just loves to sing and dance! Not sure about Tay yet, see how Mia goes first I think!
Nic - not sure bubs is going to come early, he only has about 24 hours to make it happen. Considering how high he feels and from the alien like movements my stomach has been making tonight just below my boobs, I don't think he is in a hurry ! Not long to go, fingers crossed it happens Thursday or Friday. Painful that we don't really have a definate date. Hopefully it is this week though!
Willow - strange thing is it has gone really quickly for me as well. Surprising with all the complications. I think once I hit 12 weeks that was it, there has been no turning back and I still think I hope he is baked enough!
Saffi - I have been really lucky with DH and MIL helping out with the kids. MIL has had lots of time off work annual leave and has had the kids for me a bit. Plus my DH can work at home if I need him. Yay.
to everyone I have missed. It is almost 3 in the morning and I really want to sleep but my body won't stop aching. So looking forward to not being pregnant anymore and hopefully the pain might ease off for me. I hope everyone is well.
Hope you all had a festive/relaxing Australia Day.
kaz - you poor thing. I remember how uncomfortable those last few months were and given your complications can only imagine how much pain you must be in. I'll keep my eyes peeled for a BA towards the end of this week. Hang in there tho.... nick - I got my education over and done with before kids, but know at some point in the future I need to do more. I take my hat off to anyone studying, working and raising a family. Definitely need to be a superwoman. What kind of work are you looking for? Mo - I know M will love daycare. Willow - we've had a few daytime sleeps where L has kept getting out of bed. In one funny incident I looked down the hall towards his room and couldn't see him but the giant truck outside his door was magically moving into his room. L is a very loud walker so I know when he is up and about. L could have stayed in his cot for ages yet but because of M he needed to move up. Julia - as an expat how did you celebrate Australia Day? becky - thanks for the long and newsy post. In answer to your questions I'm well as are my 2. L is such a little boy now and loves playing with his train set and his trucks and cars. M is a lovely little girl. She doesn't like to sleep all that much but once she is fed she's generally very happy. It does make it hard to get anything else done as I need to occupy her almost every minute of the day, but thats my job for the time being. Yes, going back to work in 2 months time. DH is talking about taking time off once I go back to look after M. So coping pretty well with 2 kids. L is in daycare 4 days a week and DH is at home on the weekends so it is really only 1 day that I have to look after both of them by myself and thats my MG day so have other Mums to help me out. Good to hear that you and your kiddies are well. Your brave going for a third. The jury's still out on that one for me......
Hi to everyone else. Stop lurking and come and say hi.
Anyway M is screaming and needs to put settled for a nap. BBL
OK, I've finally got time to post in here! DH has taken the boys to Inverloch overnight, Alana is asleep and I'm on the couch with my feet up - ahhhhhh.... I haven't done this for ages! Most nights consist of the circus of getting all three kids to bed, me having a shower, giving Alana a dream feed and then going to bed LOL! I even got to eat a chocolate Paddle Pop uninterrupted, pure bliss...
Kaz - A huge congratulations again!!! I hope you are recovering well and having lots of yummy snuggles with your little man .
Kellie - Thanks for posting Kaz's BA!
Saffi - Sounds like you are all going well!
Becky - Great to hear from you! You have two very clever cookies!! Re: your question about the transition from 2-3 - It is sooooo busy! I really didn't know what busy meant until Alana arrived LOL! It is very doable, but be prepared to give up your "me" time for a while. It is chaotic and crazy, but I still love it . It's so nice to have an extra person to add to the dynamics, I love watching how the boys interact with Alana in their own way.
Amber - How is Myles? Did I see a FB status saying he is sick? (Sorry, I only quickly skimmed FB today). I hope you're all doing OK .
Mo - Maddi is so clever sleeping in her big bed! We'll be buying the boys some bunks soon so we'll try K in a bed then. I have a feeling he'll come out whenever he feels like!
Nic - Grrr @ the terrible twos! They suck don't they? I hope you can find a part time job that soon.
Willow - How's L going today? I hope he's feeling a bit better. Only 3 more sleeps until V & J start school - eek!!!
Sorry I haven't been posting often, I really like to make sure I can do personals when I post, but I don't often have the time to sit down and write it all out! We're all going good. DH got the clippers out on K's hair the other day and now he has very short hair, it looks quite cute! It makes his cute chubby cheeks and dimples stand out more . He is being really cute, today he kept saying "Daddy's taking me to Imberwock (Inverloch)", even his Nanna understood him LOL! It's so quiet here without him!
Joel is super-excited about starting school next Monday, we've been counting down the days together. I had a bit of a freak out about the whole school-thing on Wednesday, but I'm OK now and feel quite excited. DH wants to be here for Joel's first day at school, but he has management meetings at work so he's bummed.
Alana is going well. She's able to move backwards now and she is getting up on her hands and knees briefly, I don't think it will be long before she works out how to go forwards. She's an active little thing and gets frustrated that she can't move! She absolutely loves her Jumperoo, it's so cute listening to her giggles while she jumps around .
Anyway, I think I've probably bored you all enough hahaha! I hope you all have a great weekend!!
I'm in Perth and just logged on quickly to check up! I'll have to do a big catch up on everything once I get back to Singapore next friday. I'm off to dunsborough today for a wedding...excited!
I can't believe though I almost missed kaz's BA! CONGRATS Karen!
HI girls, just letting you know I am home and there are pics on facebook. I will come back for updates but for now it is off to bed and try and get rid of my killer headache. Looking forward to catching up ... but it looks like its been really quiet in here!
! Not long to go, fingers crossed it happens Thursday or Friday. Painful that we don't really have a definate date. Hopefully it is this week though!
