Hi!
Well...I'm pretty sick...cancelled my party that I had on today - was only for my 2nd cousin and I was going to take the kids but they're too sick as well. Poor Dylan has conjunctivitis as well so I've booked him into the dr's tomorrow. I've been squirting him with breastmilk but it's taking a bit to clear it so though I better get some medication. Louis' eyes were gunky the other day and I put milk in and it's all cleared up!!
Tracey - Well, I got a bit of extra sleep but was still woken every 1 1/2 by the kids and then had Dylan in with me from 4am! hehe. Aaah the joys of being a mummy! (but we wouldn't change it for the world!!) Yeah with work giving you paid leave - thats great! LOL at you guys getting rooms ready - it's such an exciting time expecting another little bubba!
I'm out this week for a catch up as I'd hate to give our sickness to all of you and I think it would be too much for the kids to get dragged around iykwim?
Louis has been waking in the middle of the night wanting cuddles from Michael. He's also been waking earlier as well - I think it's getting lighter earlier in the mornings as well which doesn't help. I think I can remember this last year with Louis waking up early for a while...Luckily he slept in until nearly 8am this morning - he never does that anymore but I had Dylan with me so maybe it was quiet enough for him too...Although Dylan was up at 6.30...grrr.
LOl at him bare bummed in his bed! hehe. Hope you get a better sleep tonight!
Nikki - How much did you spend?? We'll put a limit on it based on that since you've already bought a pressie - cheeky!! hehehe.
Yeah on getting to the show! Sounds great!! I was going to take Louis but looks like we won't make it now with all of us being sick. Ooh I so wanted showbags though! hehe
Poor Grant hurting his back - hope he's better soon.
Oh no - I hope Chantelle didnt' get a cold of Dylan from the other night??? Yeah at Harry's tooth - wow!
Which reminds me - don't know if I wrote that Louis has another tooth through!! So all together he's got 14 teeth now! LOL! Thats the one thing he's slow in - hehehe.
Rachael - Poor milo with his conj. Do you know anyone thats bf? Maybe you can get a few drops of milk to put in his eyes - hehehe. We had to hold Dylan down to get the drops in tonight - he hated it. Poor little thing - new straight away what we were trying to do. So funny though, Louis watches and wanted it put in his eyes! hehehe. I think he thought he was missing out on something! I hope he's on the mend...Bugger at him being up early as well!! Cheeky boys we have!
Don't apologise for a meltdown - have you heard me waffle on ALL the time?? hehehe.
Ok - off to bed for me soon as well! Chat later!
-
i spent $25,i dont mind if you want to lower the bar.i just had to get this thing cos it was sooo cool.
nikki
-
No worries! I'm happy with $25!!!
Urggh I've been out all day with dr's and shopping. Got Louis the coolest boardies, rashy and t-shirt from the surf shop!! Cost a small fortune though! Picked up some of his pressies off layby which is exciting as well!
Better get the kids to sleep...I've got a tbs meeting out tonight as well...I'm going to be so buggered!
I swear I'm not leaving the house tomorrow! (except for my massage - hehe)
Chat later
-
Kristie - I hope you are all on the mend soon. It's really not nice being sick. :hug:
Rachael - We had a real resistant strain of conjunctivitus up here ages ago where it passed around the 3 of us. The only way we got rid of it was with the cream not the drops. It worked beautifully for us. Good luck!
Nikki - You have school holidays coming up this next week don't you? Or did you guys start this week like us up here?
Cindy - Since you're a Tupperware demonstrator, just wondering if you could do me a favor. Can you check in your catalogue, and let me know if the Sapphire coloured lunch set comes with a drink bottle? I'm pretty sure it did. I ordered 2 sets of those and got no bottles with the sets. I rang the lady who did the party, only to realise the reason that she wouldn't answer was that she was going on holidays. I left a message though in hope she just left them home when she delivered by accident, or there are shortages at the warehouse perhaps??? These things happen.
I'm still not very happy atm. The wound they left me has got infected, smells awful and is oozing green/yellow yuck! (sorry TMI) It will be another visit to the doctors yet. So not happy about this.
Melissa
-
Melissa - you poor thing! I cant believe its infected now! I hope you have someone at home to help you out at the moment! With regards to the lunch set, no it doesnt come with the drink bottle, it is just badly photographed and looks like it comes with one in the catalogue! She should have explained that to you when you ordered though, i know i was told to make sure everyone understood that the saphire bottle is separate!
Thats it for me tonight, i am buggered, big stressful day at work today! atleast i dont have to think about it all again for another week though!
Talk tomorrow
-
Melissa, Cindy's right. Its a really bad photograph, and a lot of demonstrators aren't happy becuase its so confusing for the customers.
I can't believe your demonstrator didn't explain it to you when you ordered it though, if i was you I'd call her and give her some feedback so it doesn't happen to the next customer.

well the MS has kicked in for me. I have been getting stints on nausia however I have not been able to actually vomit, as much as I would like to. Yesterday I could hardly eat lunch as the smell of the food was making me ill. I am glad it has kicked in though as it makes the experience all the more real.
Had a great morning. Took Jordan to the park with my friend and her 3 kids. They kids had a ball. Then we went back to her house and had lunch. Jordan is now in bed which is nice.
Have to meet DH at the shops after he finishes work as we have NO food in the house to eat so major food shop happening this arvo.
Melissa I hope your wound gets better soon. I wish we could come and help you out, this must be a difficult time looking after Benjamin and being ill yourself.
Cindy I SOOOO cant wait for sunday now. That cake sounds delish. I have a couple of orders from people who arent coming so I think you should be pretty well. I hope so anyway
Krisite I hope you all get better soon. Its funny how BM fixes things. LOL at your shopping adventure, its been a while so good on you.
Nikki How are school holidays treating you? HOpe you dont have a housefull of kids and are relaxing a bit.
Rachel How is Milo? Is he getting better.
Well I am hungry again, I already had 2 toasted sandwiches at lunch time. What else can I eat?????
Take care

Tracey - not sure what to eat, but take it from me - frosty fruits, magnums and milky bars are NOT your friend ;)
Milo is back at creche, the conjuntavitis is gone. I think his top moalr is coming through though.
i have a meeting with my manager at work in 1 hour -- Ithink they are going to make me redundant. My co-worker has one a half hour after me.
So I've been online on SeekIT most of the day finding jobs to apply for. Theres one thats almost the exact job I do now, with a different (but same function) software product, that I should at least get an interview for.
Not sure how it will affect our TTC plans if I'm made redundant - it won't look good at a new job to announce I'm pregnant within the first 12 months, but I feel like, I'm 30, I can't afford to wait much longer, as we want to have 3.
Stay tuned for an update later this afternoon
** ETA
Well its official, my job has been made redundant and they are absorbing our functions in to the Adelaide team.
So if I want to move to Adelaide, thats great. yeah right.
Mmm so I'm off to apply for some jobs I found on seekIT. They will try to find me one within the company - which TBH I would like as it will keep our TTC timing on track. I'll see how I go.

Hi!
All good here...except I'm still super sick. The kids are doing quite well...Dylans eyes have cleared up and Louis is basically over his cold other than a lingering little cough. Had an ok day yesterday got a few things done and looked at bikes for Louis' b'day! Michael was out late again working so another day of bathing kids, dinner on my own! Grrr. I know he's buggered from working so hard but I just can't believe it's been this week when the kids and I are sick and I've had to do so much extra other than resting...It's been really hard. Although at least I finished the night off with an 1h massage so that was good although I've had a bit of a headache all night - not sure if it's from that or cos I'm sick.
We actually had the best night in ages last night. Louis slept through and Dylan only woke a few times and didn't feed until 4am - and stayed in his cot the whole night! woohoo!!!
Melissa - I'm so sorry you're wounds infected - thats awful. I hope your starting to feel a little better - big hugs!
Cindy - I'll see you this arvo!! Hopefully it goes well! Will be a bit of fun anyway!
Omg - I'm just watching Dylan and he's gone from lying on his mat on his back to rolling on to his tummy and he's moved off his mat and got to the couch! I think he's going to be crawling very soon! hehe.
Tracey - Sorry to hear about the ms! oh the joys of having kids! hehehe. Sounds like a nice day at the park - we haven't been for ages! Hope you found something to eat - I'm a big carbs person when I'm feeling queasy - potatoes, pasta, bread etc...
Rachael - Yeah at Milo being back at creche. OH NO at being made redundant! I'm sure you'll find something nice and quick!! Hope you're getting a nice pay out!!
Ok - better run! Lots to do today! Chat later!
-
Well todays joint party with kristie went well! We both got 2 more parties out of it which is great!
Nikki - i thought i might drop over when i finish traceys party this sunday if you are going to be home. I have your other tupperware order here so i will drop that with you. let me know if thats going to be ok.
I called the zoo today to find out how you go about hiring the under cover part. They called while i was out though and the person i need to talk to about it wont be in until tuesday now so i should know more tues arvo! I will probably need to have a cofirmed number for people coming, i think they get you to meet up at the gate and all go through together and they actually break the cost of the hire up at the gate for you. I dont mind paying for it if others arent keen, i just really want somewhere to have a break and know i can get out of the rain/sun depending on good old melbourne weather! we were going ther at 10.30 wasnt it?
Let me know if you are coming!
I think nicky is coming with charlee and cooper so i was thinking i would get her to buy a pressie too so charlee doesnt feel left out.
Off to bed!
Have a great weekend all!
-
Nikki - I also thought I'd drop by tomorrow afternoon to collect some tupperware if that's ok and you will be home?
Kristie - oh no at being sick, its so not fun. Milo has a *hopefully* mild case of gastro - gotta love creche, 2 days back and sick again. *sigh*
I applied for some jobs yesterday and got a callback from a recruitment agency, the guy I spoke 2 had 2 jobs in mind, so I am meeting with him on tuesday morning. It was a mad rush to DFO today, as my current job is pretty casual, so I had to buy a suit and some tops. I really need some shoes, but I found a cute guess bag instead! I am so norty, so I'll just have to wear my boots under my trousers and hope no one can tell!
-
yep i will be home racheal.
-
racheal.you look absolutly hot,i cant beleive how much weight you have lost.it was great to see you today,maybe next time you can bring chantelles boyfriend with you,im thinking they should probably get to know each other before they get married dont you think?
cindy,tori was an absolute angel for me today,i thought she was going to fret without you but she didnt even mention your name once over the 3 hours,her and chantelle just get along so well,it makes my heart melt to think that chantelle could have such a great little friend already and one i hope she grows up with throughout her life.it was our absolute pleasure to have her today.
i am going to organise i big birthday cake for all the bubs for zoo day,i will have all there names on it and it will be big enough for everyone to have a piece including relatives or other friends ok?
is someone else interested in making lollie bags for the kids?
how about we meet inside the front gate at 10am.is that too early for anyone.we will need to organise what food eveyone is bringing also,so if you want to throw in a suggestion of what to bring then we can make sure we have covered all bases.
i will bring:
cake
fruit
drinks for kids and adults
serviettes,paper plates,cups and plastics knives and forks

well Cindy did a great job of the tupperware party today. She looks like she has been doing it for ages. I am glad she also got some good sales out of it. I was worried as had some cancellations last minute, which always happens.
Well the painting is finished YEAH and everything is back on Jordans room except for his cot, he is sleeping in our room again tonight. The paint smell is still too strong tonight. It looks fabulous, Jamie has done a great job. The spare room, new bubs room also looks great. Will see what colour we end up painting it when bubs arrives, we are just going to put a feature wall in.
Cindy thanks also for the maternity clothes, they are so nice. I will be dressed better than I normally do LOL. I will certainly take care of them and I will mark the tags so I make sure they all come back.
Nikki WOW you are so organised with getting a cake for all the babies. SO sweet.
Are we doing rolls etc or BBQ at the zoo? I am happy to do the lolly bags for all the kids (and adults). Then I can bring something else.
Speak to you all tomorrow, having an early night.

NIkki you big sentimental thing! Tori had a ball with you guys, she was knackered though! I went to red rooster to get some nuggets foe her cos she was asking and before they even gave them to me she had fallen asleep! Thanks so much for having her, as you said it really is great to see them have such a good friend so early in life! Who knows, if you guys end up out this way, they could end up at school together and getting up to all kinds of mischief! Isnt bellybelly just great for all the great friends we have made!! Love you lots missy mu!
Tracey - again, thanks for having the party! If i can get kristens party within the 3 week period, Andy can get another $20 discount off something if he likes! I hope the clothed will fit you! we are about the same size though so i imagine they will be right. I LIVED in the jeans even after both of them arrived they were the comfiest things i had, most of that stuff has done me both times around! I think thats the advantage of paying a bit extra for that sort of thing when you are going to have a few bubs!
Its very kind of you to say i did well today, its always nice to hear your doing a good job!
Im off to bed, it was big day of driving today, but well worth it to see everyone and to let tori have her play date. She was telling al all about channy and harry and nikki when we got home and how she saw dogs! Very cute. We are going to a play centre tomorrow that i havent been to yet so i will let you know what its like kristie - its on ferntree gully road!
Kristie - I hope you are feeling better
Melissa - same goes for you, how are you going? healing up?
-
Well Jordans new room is finished and he has moved in. It is such a big boys room now, no more baby wallpaper etc. He loves it which is also good. His old room has been converted into the spare room for now with the queen bed in it. We will make it the new bubs room some time next year.
Had a sicky today to finish off the room and wasnt feeling all that crash hot. Ended up having a chuck this afternoon which was the best ever. It made the nausia go away which was great.
Tomorrow is meant to be 26 so think we will spend the day at the park and outside.
Off to bed early to watch SVU and californician.
Chat tomorrow

Tracey - Congrats on geting Jordan's room completed:clap:
Nikki - You're quite the busy mum now aren't you?
Cindy - Slowly mending. Still have the infection, but I'm about to try a new course of antibiotics. The last ones are just not strong enough.
Well, Only a few more sleeps until Benjamin turns 2. I get to meet my dad tomorrow, and for Benjamin's birthday party on Saturday, he'll get to meet the grandad he's never met. I'm still a little cautious though...It's just a shock that now he wants to be in my life after not knowing him the whole of mine. I'm really nervous...:dunno:
