Babies Born October - December 2005 #17

Kristie - just quickly - i called him on monday and spoke to his wife - she asked him to give me a call but obviosly that didny happen - i will call again tuesday arvo when i know she isnt there and the other girls will just put me on to him! I will get it sorted this week though - would a friday suit you?

Rachael - Cyndi is through ticketmaster and i got the $99 ones but there were more expensive ones- I'm not sure if it was sold out or not - There werent any other ticket options ofr the tuesday night we wanted though - maybe ther eare still some for the wednesday night?? Its at the palais.. will be great!! I am soooo looking forward to it - its my very early birthday present to myself...

Tracey- good luck with the potty training- i have given up - she will be all for it one day and then the next screms when i suggest it! I think i will give it another go after we have moved wherever that might be!

Did a tupperware party today which was a really good one! I got 3 parties booked from it but all in march when the new catalogue starts! not looking forward to buying all the extras for my kit for the new range!

OK - got to go play mum again - al is giving me the irrits tonight by hypng the girls up!!! Charlotte is a bit better today - she has a sinus infection that is draining through her tear ducts so she has 2 big blakc eyes at the moment which is a great look and i think she might be getting tooth #2 as well coz she is dribling heaps.

Nikki- how many teeth has harry got these days?? I am out your way in the next week or so to deliver some tupperware - might see if i can tee it up so we can catch up at the same time?

My daughters shoes obsession is keeping her awake tonight so we have had to remove all of her shoes from her room so she would stop putting different pairs on and banging on her door to get out and show dad or mum (whoever didnt answer her at her door) her shoes and how she had put them on! She scares me!!! She has also become obsessed with skirts and refuses to jump on her trampoline unless she has one on!

Cindy, when does the new catalogue come out? all we have been told is its not being released at sessions..

that would be great cindy hopefully tracey can pop in too.

Rachael - we were told that it IS being released at sessions and we can start working out of it (doubling up with the winter one) from the 10th of feb but it goes to just the new one start of march! _ i wonder why you have heard differently???

Hi!

We had a great day today! Michael came home this morning and we headed to the park! We had a huge day and Louis "rode" his push bike around the lake. Well, actually it was a mixture of bike riding, walking, running, sitting on the pram and on Daddys shoulders! LOL! Well it is 2.5km I suppose! Dylan slept - he's slept heaps today but seems to be on the mend which is good. Then Louis had a splash in the little beach there and then played at the playground! We were all tired by the time we left!

Rachael - I hope Milos ok and it was just a heat rash or something...did you end up going to the dr's? Don't the kids just love older kids! I hope you had fun shopping at Ikea! I'm sure you'll get the house all organised in time! Nothing like a bit of pressure to get going - LOL! Yeah on a bonus! Backyard?? I know a landscaper....LOL!

Tracey - No secret - just luck!! I'm sure he'll do it when he's ready - I've never seen a 10 year old still in nappies - LOL! Louis was a bit like that when I tried him the first time when he first turned 2 - I just left it and tried again in Dec - so maybe leave it a month or two and then try again???

Cindy - No worries - Fridays are great! Wow at getting 3 parties - thats great! I'd love to see the new catalogue - I'll probably have another party later in the year...I'm having a Total learning party on Feb 24th - must get invites out soon! - it's kids books - I'm thinking of joining up with them as well as they have a great starting special and I spend so much on books I may as well get them at a discount! LOL! They don't have any minimums to be a consultant so it's just a bit extra.
I figure it's like my passions anyway - I looovvveee the body shop and working for them with all of the great work they do and I love books and teaching my boys so they both fit really well and aren't conflicting...
I'm really quiet now until Mid feb...I'm trying to enjoy it but I really wish I was out there having parties. I think I'll line up another day in the city at the office I did and I really want to get up in Mansfield as well so need to some promotions...I may as well do that stuff now while it is quiet.
Poor charlotte - I hope she's better soon poor little thing.
Oh no at Al getting the kids worked up! We've been having heaps less drama at bedtimes now that we turn the tv off and just have a real quiet time...probably 9 times out of 10 Louis and Dylan go straight to sleep now!
LOL at tori!!! Wow - how many pairs of shoes does she have? LOL!

Chat later!

Hi ladies

Well Jordan made some progress on the TT thing. He told me poo this afternoon and when I changed his nappy he actually had a poo in there. I will keep him in nappies a few more weeks I think and then try again. If he wants to sit on it I wont stop him though.
I had to pull mum in line again this morning. Jordan has been calling all females mum lately and they have been correcting them by saying "no im not mum i'm (whoever)". My mum on the other hand responds to him just saying YES!!!! WTF she isnt his mum. I told her off this morning and said she needs to correct him and tell him NO Im grandma. How is he going to learn if she doesnt tell him???? Am i being unreasonable. I also got a little offendedshe was taking my title. I am his mum not her.

Krisite sounds like you had a nice day as a family. Good to see you have found a good bed time routine thats working for you all.
CIndy LOL at Tori and her shoes. I shouldnt laugh as we have bed time issues also. She certainly is a girly girl. She probably has more shoes than me.
Nikki I would love to catch up when you can. I am free wed and thursdays. I am starting playgroup again on thursday mornings till 11.30 but I can always leave early or skip it.

Oh I have been feeling so many kicks and movements from Liam today its been awesome. He is so cute I love him already. I cant beleive he will be here in 16 weeks. OMG how quick has this pegnancy gone.
Have a great night everyone

Kristie, I had a TL party a while ago it was great, I really like their catalogue!
Tracey thats great that you are feeling Liam kick so much :). I correct Milo all the time, only he calls me grandma :( ha ha
Cindy - how is the house hunting going?

No news here. Milo is still being really naughty and laughing at us when we try to pick him up on it. DH in particular is at his wits end. He jumped over the back of the couch this morning (its up against the window so he was between the window and the couch. He told me "Mine Humpy Dumpy" grinning :doh:

Hi!

Not much from me...had a TBS meeting tonight which was great - very motivational! Did food shopping today - very exciting lOL - Louis is a bit feral but both the boys have had late sleeps - they were both sound asleep by 7.30pm tonight and Michael hasn't heard a peep out of them which is great!
Yesterday the day just flew by - Michael went to the drs and we looked at bathroom stuff for renovating and then just chilled out at home. We got some old videos, books and a thomas train set from my sister and her friend that they were giving away! Louis is loving the train set but it's a bit hard to have set up when Dylans around as he just wants to eat everything - LOL!

Tracey - Yeah on Jordan knowing poos! Louis had an accident this arvo (after going all day at the shops fine!) and I pulled his pants down thinking he'd just done a drop of wee and a big poo fell on the floor! LOL! gross!
I agree with you - she should be correcting him! Your not being unreasonable at all!
Yeah on all the kicking and moving - makes them feel real in there!

Rachael - Thats great - I've had great feedback from everyone actually!! It makes me really excited!!
It's hard when they're so cheeky sometimes! I swear they go through stages of it - you have a couple of weeks when they're ok and then a couple when they're little terrors! LOL! Sometimes you can't help laughing though!

Nikki - How did the kids first day of school go! Hope Harry and Chantelle are well!

Cindy - I'll see you on Friday! Don't forget to text/email me the address!!

I'm so excited - Dylan starts gymbaroo tomorrow and Louis is having a play date with a friend from mothers group while I take him so Dylan and I will get 1 on 1 time! I think it will be great!

Chat later!

Hi all!

Tracey - Benjamin says daddy to my dad which is his pop. It's so funny, but we are making every effort to make sure he knows that it's his poppy not daddy. He calls Dad's partner Steve Grammy or nana and he doesn't mind, but I think we're going to give him a complex eventually in doing it. My dad urges him to say it. It drives me nuts.

Benjamin's favourite word at the moment is NO.

Melissa

well i got another quote for the wardrobes this morning. I asked him to break it down room by room. Liams room will only cost $350 which is excellent and Jordans $700 as he is getting 2 sets of drawers and shelves as its a bigger wardrobe (we will use the 2nd to store most of our stuff). DH doesnt want to do anything with the warbrobes till we get back from QLD in April. I will be 33 weeks when we get back from holiday, its cutting it fine for my liking but I guess we only need to assemble everything again. The room is already painted, we did it when Jordan swapped rooms before xmas.

Melissa LOL over Benjamins fav word.... Jordans is ANDY CAR KEY.....(which is jamies bestfriend). He is obessed with cars and loves playing with car keys. I am sure I hear that sentence atleast 100 times a day.

Krisite OOPs at the poop on the floor, funny though. Have fun at gymbaroo with Dylan it will be nice to spend 1 on 1 time with him. Louis I am sure will enjoy his play date.

Rachel OOps at Milo laughing when you try and tell him off. Jordan does the same to me when I tell him off. Like your husband, it annoys me greatly. I am sure they will stop it eventually.

Well I was in histarics this morning when I was taking Jordan out of his bath. He had started to do a poo so I put him on his potty and he did it in there YEAH. when he got up and saw and smelt it (sorry TMI) he started dry reaching (SO AMUSING) I had to put the lid on it so he would stop.
He went to bed this afternoon with only 15 mins of getting out of bed so thats a good thing.
Take care

melissa there you are,i was wondering where you had got to.hope all is well with you and the family.
tracey sorry i dint get back to you,i had a very busy day yesterday and i worked today.
corey had a great first day back at school.he really likes his teacher and was very very keen to get off to school this morning,james goes back next monday.
i was called in for a meeting today and i was crapping myself,i really thought i was in trouble but it turned out they wanted to let me know that they are very happy with me and they pointed out a few things that would help me do my job better.i was preety happy with that,i can always welcome constructive critisism and am very pleased that they like me and what i do.phew!!!!!
nikki

OK - so we have decided to build - we are signing papers on sunday and having another look at a display home - it will be in a newestate in Lyndhurst which is about 15mins down the highway from where we are now!

SOrry- but must go get organised - very busy with life ATM.

Kristie- see you at the dentist in a few hours
Nikki - see you later after i have done my tupperware delivery!

Hi girls,

Just back from our scan and we are expecting another boy. The sonographer said she's as sure as she can be (ie close to 100%) and I saw the leetle willy for myself. So my prediction that DH's family's boy genes would play out was true! It will be lovely to have a little brother for our gorgeous Gussyboy.

The little guy wouldn't stop moving throughout the u/s so it took over 2 hours of constant scanning to get all the measurements they needed. The sonographer said she's rarely seen such an active little bubba! he ha. Anyhow the little guy seems to be doing well in spite of the torrid time he's been having. Yippeee! We then had a consultation with the fetal medicine specialist who monitored my pregnancy with Fergus and he has said this baby seems to be growing and developing sooooo much better than Gussyboy. That is such good news for us. Also the hole in the amniotic sac seems to have repaired itself. We might yet get a "normal" pregnancy. Just need to continue without more bleeding as the excessive amounts of blood historically in my uterus (I bleed far more than the average bleeding preggy lady! ) produces a chemical reaction with the cell walls of the amniotic sac and weakens it. So if we get no more excessive bleeding the sac might have a chance to toughen up again. Fingers and toes crossed.

So now we are on to the name game. We had a name sorted for a girl (left over from our pregnancy with Gus) but are still deciding on boy names now we know this baby is not a girl. So far the top runners are Alistair, Toby, Calvin, Callum and Hugo...

Anyway will pop in over the weekend to catch up some more. Hope everyone has a great Friday night. Off to have dinner with my DH.

kirsty such wonderful news,i am soooooo pleased to hear it,i think that toby and gus sounds so cute together.im not too keen on hugo but that is only my opinion.callum is nice but very popular at the moment.
chantelle is miles behind on her weight chart i discovered today,she is well below the 5th percentile but she eats well and i guess that is just her genetic make up.harry landed exactly on the 50th percentile.
cindy it was so good to see you and the girls tonight,i loved catching up with you all.

Kirsty thats wonderful. I vote for Toby!

I vote for Toby too! I have a brother called Toby and he is a nice guy!

Kristie - good to see you and your little munchkins - I'm glad our kids got the dental all clear today and have had their first official dental visit!

Nikki- was great to catch up! Tori screamed for about 10 mins when we hit the HWY coz she realised we werent goint to channys house! I really enjoyed my afternoon chatting with your resident chatter box corey! I love that kid, he has so much personality and just loves people! All of your tribe are adorable

Kirsty-FANTASTIC NEWS!!! I have been wondering how you were going and that is just great to hear!

Rachael - who are you building through? Did you end up finding tix to cyndi?

Well it looks like we are building - just need to get the finance sorted and then we can start celebrating! Al is really nervous about it but I dont think it will be to much of a problem! We have money for a deposit but we are hoping to get 100% finance (its only and extra .5% interest) and use the money to pay off our credit cards and car etc so we can go into the house with hopefully that as our only debt!

Ok - i am off to bed- i will check in with you all tomorrow

'Peace out' (my little brothers saying)

we are building with Dennis Family. We have a 10% deposit which was great becuase owing to my being new in my job, the amount we had up our sleeve it the main reason we were able to get a preapproval. I just hope that by the time the contract is ready and we actually apply, the interes rates havent gone up so much that they change their mind and say no :(

Kirsty that is excellent news that the pregnancy is progressing well. Well done on another boy also. I love Toby and Callum as names for your new addition.

Rachel I am sure you will be fine with the bank finance. I dont think the interest rates will increase too much that it would affect your approval.

Cindy YEAH on deciding to build a house. I loved building, its nice to get a house with everything in it that you chose.

Nikki I wouldnt worry about Chantelles weight, she certainly is petite, she takes after you. How is Harry going with his walking?

All is going well with us. Jordan is talking more and more and getting so cheeky. Last night he stalled going to bed by sitting on his potty. I didnt want to make him get off as I wanted to encourage him to do something. He didnt do anything but atleast he was getting comfortable sitting on it.
Have a great weekend.
XX

there you go kirsty looks like we all agree that toby is the name for your little man.

Kristy - I like the name Toby too. I'm glad things are doing ok this time around. How's little man Gus?

Nikki - I'm never far away.

Tracey - Car is a popular word here too. "Look at the car" is Benjamin's fav saying at present. He's played his Cars movie that many times, that Dh and I quote it.

Well, the news for today is that my 20yo sister is pg. Not on the best of circumstances though. She has been sleeping with a few different guys on and off and we know which one is the culprit now. He's got a girlfriend and a kid already. He went out with my sister just for the hanky panky then dumped her to go back with his girlfriend, but now he's with another chick. He's a big time player and doesn't want anything to do with another baby. My brother said that the sleeze bag had asked her if she was on the pill originally and that because she wasn't, that if she got pg not to come crying to him. I reckon that my sister should have kept her legs shut. She wants to keep it, and I'll support her all the way, but the sleeze bag needs a reality check and my sister is going to have to grow up very fast.

I hope you all are well.

Melissa

Melissa LOL at being able to quote CARS movie. Your sisters situation isnt the best however its good that she will have your support thru it all.

We went shopping this morning and i got really dizzy all of a sudden, a little scary. Had to get a coke quick smart and once the sugar hit I was fine.
Cant be bothered doing any house work today so am going to leave it for wed-thurs unless Jamie surprises me and does it tomorrow????
Hope the weekend is treating you well.

Hi!

We've been quite busy the last few days!! Dylan loved Gymbaroo on Thursday and was kissing the kids - I think he was very excited to have his mummy all to himself. Louis had a great time on his play date - the boys played really nicely and were playing chasey around the house - sooo cute! He didn't want to leave!
Friday he had his dental check up - thanks Cindy! - and then the kids had some lunch and a play at Maccas!
Yesterday we had a fairly quiet day and then headed over to my Dads and his gf for pizza - my brother & fam were there as well so the kids had a ball. My Dad's off to the Phillipines for a month on Tuesday so it was a bit of a send off! His first real trip overseas (can you count Nz??) so very exciting for him. So we had a late night and Louis was all hypo! Dad and Olivia were shocked cos Louis read there rego plates - letters and numbers - I promted him a bit saying what letter is this etc and then when he'd finished he read out f-a-i-r-l-a-n-e really quickly written next to it! We were all surprised!!! He's so clever - he's been saying o for owl now as well and wanting to know what his books are called and pretending to read the words in them!
Today we headed to Werribee zoo which was great! Louis had a ball but was sooo tired. He was very excited to go for a bus ride and loved all the animals. He got a bit cranky but perked up at the hippo exhibit with a water play thing and got all wet - Dylan headed straight in to which was funny! They both slept on the way home though...

Melissa - Good to hear from you!!! We sing songs all the time from the words no and yes so end up making it a bit of a giggle!!
Wow on your sister being p/g - thats great you're there to support her but a bugger that the dad doesn't look like he'll be in the picture...I imagine it's not easy to be a single mum (hard enough when you've got a dh sometimes! LOL!)

Tracey - Yeah on getting a quote that your happy with. LOL at Jordans favourite sentence! Omg Tracey - so funny about Jordan dry reaching - I mean, not funny but so funny!!! I laughed out loud when I read that!! hehehehe.
Ooh take it easy - make sure you don't let your blood sugar levels get too low! Sounds like a good reason to skip the housework! Bubs and you need a rest much more than getting housework done!

Nikki - Glad Coreys had a great start off at school - I hope James has a good one tomorrow! Ooh meetings are always scary - I'm glad it was all good though!! Wow at Chantelle being under 5th - I didn't think she was that small?? Your only little though - she'll probably be just like her mum!!!

Cindy - Was great to catch up! I can't believe how big Tori's got and she's speaking very clearly now! Charlottes sooo big as well! They grow up way to fast!
Wow - it will be so exciting getting a house built!

Kirsty - Thats fantastic news!!! Congratulations on another little boy!!! Geez - everyone seems to be doubling up lately! I'm so glad things are going well for you - I really hope it continues that way for you!!! Oh and I like Toby and Callum!

Rachael - Bugger I missed you today! I hope you got your Body butter ok!

Chat to you all tomorrow!

Thanks Kristie, I'm sorry I wasnt home!
We had a big weekend.
Saturday morning I went to Williamstown to see my beautician - had to get waxed before the holiday. Its supposedly going to rain for at least half the time we're at the beach :(
Milo had 2 birthday parties, one Sat, one Sun which was good, and he seemed to have a good time. I think he was a bit over it all by Sunday arvo though and we left a bit early.
Saturday night was supposed to be a girls night out but we ended up just goint to bingo (he he I should've worn a cardie) and eating far too much cake and chocolate.

chantelle said something ammusing tonight,she has been announcing for the past few weeks that harry and corey and james and daddy has a doodle and channy and mummy has a gina,welll tonight she came running to me with so much excitment in her little eyes and voice and did a full spread opened her gina and took hold of her little man in the boat and squeeled that she also had a dooodle.


oh dear!!!!!!!
nikki

That is just tooo cute!!

you think????????

lol Nikki thats funny :D

Milo is still waking up a minimum of 2 times a night, and his dirty nappies are a bit strange. We're taken him to the doctors twice but they say its nothing and send us home. I really dont think its nothing though, it shouldnt have still been happening (its not diarrhaea, just not normal), so I am taking him back tomorrow morning.

Well we are off on hols tomorrow, so I'll be offline from tomorrow til at least next wed. evening.
I am going to have BB withdrawel!

I'm also missing out on the work singstar competition (yep our CEO bought a PS2 and 3 singstar games especially for this!) on Friday night, and since I was one of the people who came up with the idea I'm a tad disappointed :( But I had a go this morning, my boss wanted me to test it out, and I got 8560! woohoo :)

where are you off to racheal? i hope you have a great time and stay safe

Hi everyone

well we got another quote tonight for wardrobes and I have decided to go with this company. Its $20 more than the last one but they are putting in more hanging but with smaller drawers. They quoted for all 3 rooms but we are only going to do Liams room for the moment. I will get Jordans done probably with the baby bonus.

Krisite glad you had a nice time at weribee zoo I have never been but it sounds like it would be excellent. Louis certainly is a clever boy who surprises us all. I cant wait to see him again, its been ages.

Cindy Hope everyone is well, how is the house hunting going? Have you found a few houses youmight like to build?

Nikki LOL at Chantelle and her gina...... She is a sweetheart. I had a little chuckle to myself

Rachel Have a great holiday. I hope Milo is ok, if you are concerned with his night waking and poos then I would keep checking it out. A mother generally knows best. :)

Well I have 5 days off now...... we have system change over this weekend so friday and saturday I cant work. Bring it on.....
We start playgroup on thursday, should be interesting. We are going to a new place so I am hoping the kids and the mums are ok.
Take care
XX

We're going to skene's creek, near Apollo bay, for 7 nights.
Probably gonna leave soon. milo is being a real handful - i hate it how they just know when something's happening! :)

Racheal - Lucky you on your trip away..:dance: I'd so love one of those right now

Nikki - OMG! Your Channy did what??? Oh so funny...:cryinglaugh:

Tracey - Enjoy your 5 days off...

Well, it's our 4th wedding anniversary tomorrow. Not going to be much of one though. Dh has decided he's going to work his RDO tomorrow, so I've got a whole day with Benjamin.
It's been raining here, I actually couldn't take my usual shortcut to work today because it was under water. They've had some decent rain where my client lives. Then, I just dropped my client off to the adult day service here, and it bucketed down, and I was soaked through. Hopefully I won't get a cold from it.

Melissa

Wish us luck girls!! We are going to the finance people tomorrow.... Everything is crossed!! I will fill you in as soon as we hear anything.

OK, i am off to bed- i promise i will do personals tomorrow!

good luck cindy
happy anniversary melissa and dh
we are off to a funeral today,grants best friends dad died,grant was very close to him.

Nikki Sorry to hear about Grants friends dads passing. I hope the funeral goes ok today.
Cindy I hope the meeting with finance people goes well today. Its always nerve racking when asking people for money.

Well we went to 1st playgroup today and it was interesting....... Its a church run playgroup however I was not expecting a prayer before the kids ate morning snack.
They kids played for an hour then everything got packed up and they all went and washed their hands (good idea to teach him hygiene). Then they all sat down to eat morning tea or lunch ( which I didnt know I had to bring, lucky I had a le snack in the bag). Jordan started eating and my friend said we had to wait till they said the prayer..... WTF.... They then sang this little song which was a prayer and then they ate.
After eating they did story time, which Jordan ignored and just ran riot jumping off the stage area (LOL I was so proud).
I am in 2 minds whether to go back. I am not fond of the prayer idea, although Jordan prob doesnt even know what it is anyway. I do like the structure as its a preperation for kinder/school. HMMMMMM what to do?
I think I might go for the term and see if Jordan likes it. He had a good time today, there were plenty of boys aswell which was good.

Hope you are all enoying your day.
Chat later

Hi!

What a week! Both boys had swimming on Tuesday which went really well considering they both had to wait in the pram for each other to have their lessons! Dylan loovved it and was kicking his legs and putting his face in the water. The kids in Louis' class were so advanced (it's a 2yo-3.5y class) they were swimming on their own for a little bit and everything!! Wow! Louis has a long way to go but I'm not worried - it's just for fun!
Wed Louis had his first Kinder group. He had so much fun - it was really great. Lots of paintings hanging up on the wall already!
Today Dylan had gymbaroo - had a ball - and is now happily crawling through the tunnels that he was too scared to last week!
So thats it for us really...we're off to Phillip Island tomorrow for the weekend - woohoo. I'm babysitting my nephew Lachlan in the morning and we'll head off after Michael gets home from work. I'm soo excited. I had all these grand plans but I think we'll mainly just chill out at the beach (if the weather improves??)

Rachael - Wow - you had a huge weekend...Lol at playing bingo - mmmm now I feel like chocolate reading that! Hehe. I hope you have an amazing week away!!! How nice to get away!! Bugger that Milo's still waking up - hope he's nappies go back to normal soon...

Nikki - LOL!!! omg - how funny!!!!! What a character she is!
So sorry to hear you had a funeral to go to...hope you're ok.

Tracey - Yeah on getting Liams wardrobe done - At least you can get his room organised. I know - it's been ages - we really need to organise a catch up but everyones so busy!! Fridays are my day through the week with nothing on but I know you guys are working etc. Maybe a weekend catch up is needed??? I don't know whats harder though...
Well, I've got to send out my invites to my Total learning party - thats sunday 24th Feb if you guys are free - that can be a catch up as well maybe???
Yeah on 5 days off!! Enjoy!!
I looked into a playgroup that was a religious based one last year but never ended up going - I think they had a similar set up with the prayers at food time. I'm personally not keen on anything religious but as you said he wouldn't know what it means at this age anyway and if he enjoys it....??

Melissa - Happy Anniversary!!!! Wow at all the rain you've had!! We've had rain overnight and I'm already dreading winter - I have washing everywhere trying to dry! LOl!

Cindy - GOOD LUCK!!!! I'm sure it will be all fine - can't wait to hear how you went!

K - better go and order some pizza for dinner...so lazy but I just can't be bothered tonight...

Chat later!

Well the finance went as i expected it to! We need to wait untill we get the payout from the realestate people before we can really look at the finance coz at this stage we are jus ttelling them that we will have the money rather than being able to show them.... so we are going to save our butts off untill the start of April and then we will go talk to them again but they are still going to hold the block etc for us! The land doesnt even get released untill August so really we have untill then to get sorted out! Now to find a cheap rental! I cant believe my moher wont let us move in! Its probably for the best though.

sorry- got to put the girls to bed - tori is overtired from swimming today and charlotte has just chucked all over the floor - due to choking on a piece of toris sausage she found on the floor!

how soon do you have to move cindy?
funeral was lovely but very sad.

Nikki- good to hear the funeral was lovely - I'ma touch strange but i have been to MANY funerals in my short life and i actually find them really interesting. I love that they are generally a tribute to the person and you hear all about their life accomplishments etc and celebrate their life that was. Am i really warped for saying that??
We have to be out of our place by the end of march but we would like to get out by the end of feb so we dont have to pay any more rent to them..

I will be back later i have Kim coming over today which is good, i havent caught up with her in AGES!!

Talk later

Hi girls, Just popping in to say hi and let you know I'm keeping up with your various goings on. All still ok at our end in terms of bubba in tum, however I'm still on bedrest orders. This makes typing kinda tricky. Anyhow, tis lovely to have more time to poke my head into my favourite thread. xx

BTW, Thanks for the feedback on the names for bubba in tum. My vote is also for Toby or Callum, but DH just needs to get over the line. He's worried they are both not as "strong" a name as Fergus. Since we call Fergus, Gus or Gussy these days I can't really see the issue as they are definitely not "manly strong" names. he ha! The other name DH's really keen on these days is Finbar, to be shortened to Finn. I am not so sure. Finn seems super popular these days... xx
