Cindy, thanx for lending an ear yeasterday, sorry to unload on you. I think its all sorted, apparently the version I got was a bit exaggerated and its all water under the bridge. I wish someone had told me that yesterday to stop me feeling sick to the stomach all day yesterday!

Nikki wow you sound like you will be super busy! I thought I had a lot on with christmas functions today(x2) and tomorrow night for work, 30th birthday party on saturday, then 2 christmas day things plus boxing day with the outllaws.

Then as a bonus, DH and MILs birthdays are in the second week of Jan

Lucky me!

Hi everyone
sorry I have been MIA i have been trying to post on jamies lap top but it never works so I have resorted back to the actual computer. Its much easier.

Nikki I am so pleased you had a great trip into the city. It sounds like it was a great night and its great the kids were all well behaved. You certainly are going to be a busy girl these next few days, try and get some rest and ME time in if you can

Melissa OOPs over the bullying. I am sure he will grow out of it and it sounds as though you are doing the right things to try and stop it. Its good that the teachers at daycare are supporting you also as it must be hard when you are not there to assist in his discipline.

Rachel YOu also sound really busy so hope you can relax a little in between all your functions.

CIndy I am sorry we didnt make it sunday, we spent day delivering jamies nannas bday invites. Sounds like you had a good time though. SOrry to hear Charlotte is off her food, it could be change in temp that is doing it. I know the heat makes me less hungry.

Krisite Glad you got the boys to sleep easy, it certainly is nice when they go to bed without hassles. Yeah Louis on using potty. We are not there yet but we have it and are working on it.

So...... as for us. I am still working, no leave over xmas for me

Jamie finished on friday for 2 weeks so Jordan will get to spend more time with him which is nice.
We have the potty and Jordan will now sit on it with no pants ( a bonus ) however he seems to get off and then pee on the floor D'OH. I think its prob too early for him but I am keeping it out and putting him on it before bed or when he wakes up just to get the idea happening. I think Jamie will work more on it over the xmas break.
I have booked my u/s for monday SOO EXCITED I will know if boy or girl before xmas which is fantastic. I may buy bubs a gift on monday once we know

2 of my work friends have had their babies in the last 2 days. 1 had a girl, Ruby, she was only 28 weeks but my friend has weak cervix. She lost last bubs at 22 weeks so she did really well. Bubs is doing ok so hoping this time all works outr. My other friend was due in couple days but bubs arrived this morning, a boy (no name). I cant wait to see pics, I am extra clucky now and cant wait till they bring them into work so I can have a cuddle.
OH and girl at playgroup has chicken pox so now I have to watch out for spots incase Jordan has caught them. So far so good although you are aparently contagious 21 days before spots so I have a bit longer to wait till I say we are all clear.
Take care everyone

I hope Jordan doesnt have them Tracey. Its not the best Christmas present you could get.
When Milo did (they're 90% sure that it was CP) he only had about 10 spots max, and he didin't even notice them (this was whyt he 10% doubt - they didn't seem itchy, either that or has has a high pain threshold) Apparently its also a lot better if they have them younger.

**cindyb** · December 20th, 2007, 07:51 PM

Hey there gilrs!!

Not much to say here- just getting ready for xmas and have als parents here already which is crap!

Have worked the last 2 days so the house is a pig sty!

I have 2 girls with snotty noses and caughs! notihing a bit of demazin wont fix though!

Trayce- you have to let us know how the u/s goes! how exciting... i love your names too, my brothers name was/is Liam and we were going to use it as a middle name if we had a boy.

Nikki - you soudn like a busy bee at the moment - as trace said- take some time for yourself and call me if the kids are driving you batty over the weekend just to get it out of your system!
Are you still going away over the holidays??

Rachael - no probs about the oter day - any time!

Kristie - how are th eboys treating you?

Melissa- hows ben going?

Kirsty- are you out there??

ok, got to go, te house is a mess and they want to show people through tomorrow!

**nicole mckay** · December 20th, 2007, 08:59 PM

okay lets put our bets in
is tracey having a BOY OR GIRL
that includes you tracey

i say GIRL

**cindyb** · December 21st, 2007, 06:29 AM

I say boy - nly because everyone i speek to at the moment has two of the same sex! Nikki you and Nicky are the rareities!

What has everyone got planned for new years eve?? We just realised last night that we havent got any plans as of yet! Although i think one of the girls from playgroupis having a party so maybe thats our plan?

**nicole mckay** · December 21st, 2007, 07:34 PM

no plans here either cindy,tis hard with little bubs isnt it.i usually just like to be in the comfort of things that keep my babies happy and safe.

**Pandora** · December 22nd, 2007, 10:48 AM

girl

No NYE plans here, DH is not into new years at all and will go out of his way to stop us going anywhere. last year I think we had my brother and his DF over and had a few drinks but that was about all.

Christmas eve though, we'll be going over to my parents place to watch the carols by candlelight with Milo and staying up tp see the Christmas lights (mum and dad are in one of those streets where all the houses try to out do each other)

**deancey** · December 22nd, 2007, 01:24 PM

HI Guys

Well I am saying BOY, like Cindy said it seems to be the trend to have same sex. Not long till we find out though.
NYE we are spening at friends down the rd. We will put Jordan to bed in porta cot and party away. We will just bring him home with us when we are ready, he transfers ok as they are only 4 houses away.
Cant wait for xmas, I want to see Jordan unwrap all his pressies. He just loves unwrapping things so it will be fun this year.

Cindy a night with people with kids for NYE sounds good. Its nice when people are in similar situation so understand. Hope all your house work got done, our house is looking ok at the moment only cause Jamie did some housework this morning. The washing on the otherhand is piling up but the weather is putting me off.

Nikki A night at home for NYE should be nice. The bubs will like being in their own space and you can always invite people over, you have a great party house. Lets see if your pink prediction is correct.

Rachel Looking at the xmas lights and carols sounds nice. We have only shown Jordan our lights as he is in bed too early most of the time. I am sure Milo will enjoy it. I hope you ejoy NYE even if Neil doesnt want to make a big fuss.

Kristy Hope the boys are well and your xmas plans are all in order. Are you going away for xmas? I cant remember.

Melissa and Kirsty Merry xmas to you both hope the families are all ok and you have a great holiday, check in when you can.

So worked today, so over that! working monday and then have the PH off. No rest for the wicked which is annoying. I am so stupid not to have asked for AL. OH well. We are going on holiday in March which isnt too far away I guess.
We have had some more progress with Jordans talking. He is able to copy words now which is good. He says blue car and black car SO CUTE
Felling a few more movements altough hanging forome big kicks soon i hope
take care

**deancey** · December 22nd, 2007, 06:40 PM

Nikki I hope the weather clears up for your party tomorrow. I am loving the rain although it limits what you can do. I love listening to it on the pergola roof. It is meant to be fine on tuesday for xmas so thats a bonus.

Just put all the pressies under the tree so lets hope the 2 yr old unwrapper (aka Jordan) doesnt unwrap them all when we are not looking

**cindyb** · December 24th, 2007, 12:24 PM

I am feelign really organised for a change too! I have had 2 girls sleep heaps today and so i have made all of my salads for tomorrow - even the dressings from scratch! i am trying out some new ones from a book i was given for my birthday!

Tracey - I need to know! How did the ultrasound go? I cant even remember what time you were going to have it done? Could be bloody 6pm just to make us all wonder all day!!

OK I am off, i will check back in later and hopefully get some great news from tracey

**nicole mckay** · December 24th, 2007, 01:40 PM

**cindyb** · December 24th, 2007, 08:35 PM

Tracey- If it wasnt so late at night i would be giving you a call to see how you went today! I hope everything went well and you have fantastic new for us tomorrow!

MErry christmas all!

**deancey** · December 24th, 2007, 09:21 PM
