yeah B2 sounds like a good idea racheal.hehehe!
April sounds ok to me as long as I am not too pregnant LOL
Nikki I dont think you can offend anyone. YOu are only expressing an opinion. I too hope Jordan will keep the nap up till he is at kinder, for everyones sanity. Glad you had a great time at werribee zoo. How did you handle the heat in QLD when preg with Harry. I am nervous about going to theme parks if it is too hot. I get dizzy quite easily.
Cindy OMG at Cha cha climbing, what a cheeky monkey. I hope you can move her somewhere she cant climb out soon.
Rachel milos sleep sounds good. 1.5 hrs seems ok to me for a nap Good luck with the bed transition. I hope it is smoother than ours.
Well feeling good today. Jordan moved up to the kick boards today at swimming. Jamie said he is coming along really well which is great. I cant wait to be able to see him in full swing when we go to QLD. Liam is moving heaps which is nice, I love being preg I cant beleive how quickly it is passing us by.
Work is terrible at the moment with the new computer system I am dreading going into work as things are still not working properly. I am such an organised person that it is doing my head in, and stressing me out. I wish they would have thought it thru better.
Take care

tracey when are you actually due.when are you going to qld?
as for queensland i was 37 weeks and i coped fine.everyone is different,i love being pregnant and feel absolutly fantastic.the theme parks didnt bother me at all.we chose to go to wet and wild as it was a good one for me also,i just waded in the water and i was able to stay cool too.
QLD sounds great Tracey.
My brother is going to the Gold Coast for 3 weeks for work and I am so jealous!
All this talk of swimming bubs and Louis speakling Spanish is making me wonder whether we are challenging Milo enough..we've only been just playing around at the pool, no swimming lessons so far. I used to swim competitively, well at state level anyway and I think I'm a bit hesitant to rush him in to it becuase of that? Maybe anyway. Hmm I might have to look at trying to get him in to some lessons though. Is quite difficult to get in on the weekends I found when I had done some initial enquiries.
Tracey tell me about computer upgrades :), thats part of what I do at work *sigh* I hope that they've not messed it up too much and that its sorted out soon for you. Dd they do them during they day? Thats odd, or was it just that what they tried to do didnt work so there were resulting issues during the day?
mmmmmmmmm either way I can understand your frustration!
Bit of a schemozzle at home this morning. Mum rang me at 6:30am to say that she had hurt her back and wouldnt be able to look after Milo. Neither of us have any rec/annual leave left after our week away, andh is creche doesnt do occasional care, even though I know they have vacancies on Tuesdays, and it was far too early to ring up andyone to babysit, so I stayed home with him in the morning until a reasonable hour when I managed to arrange my cousin to watch him for the afternoon. It was good in a way because I was able to go with him to playgroup which mum would normally do, just a hassle with arranging babysitting. Then to make my day, he decided to not have a day sleep and was very overtired when I finally left for work. My poor cuz, I hope he is okay for her!
OMG!!! My air con died last night and it is revolting in our house! Coz its broken we have fans everywhere and ofcourse my children being mine - each of them have hurt themselves with the fans. Chacha has a massive lump (make that 2 lumps) on her forehead and tori has a black toe, chacha pulled on the cord of one and tori tried to move the one in her room!
Rachael - sounds like you have had a great day too! We have the giorls in swimming classes and tori is swimming by herself now (with floaties) and chacha just LOVES it! as soon as we get int he building she is jumping up and down. i know our swim school does after hours classes - perhaps you can find one that does out your way? we go thursday mornings coz al has the day off!
Well i feel like crap today - got a dry caugh and a snotty nose (as does chacha) so i dont know if i should go to work tomorrow or even if i should send chacha to child care!
I dont know if i have mentioned child care here ut tori HATES it! she starts sooking as soon as you pull in to the driveway of the place.. She has a ball though once she calms down coz she tells us all about the dancing and singing (they have gymbaroo and kindermusic people come in on wednesdays) we dont know what to do, she is worse when i drop them off so i dont do it anymore but it breaks als heart to hear her screaming for him as he is leaving!
OK, GTG get organised for all of my tupperware drop offs tonight.
Kristie -i have your cups for you! Also if you were wanting more stuff for your fridge and thinking of have another party again march host gifts are pretty much all fridge stuff even without party bookings..
cindy dont be tooo worried about tori and child care,nearly all kids have seperation anxiety when being dropped off,what i can recommend is that either you or al try to stay back a bit longer and watch through a window after dropping her off and i am sure you will be suprised to see that she actually stops crying almost as soon as she thinks you are gone.or pop back at lunch time and peek in without her seeing and i bet she is having lots of fun and happy as can be.what ever you do dont give in straight away or she will have it over you and you will never get her settled in to where ever she goes cos she knows she can pull one over you.also make sure you ask the girls how long she cries for and how often she has those moments throughy the day,i think you will find that she will improve alot,chantelle still has times when she cries when i leave her but she goes through phases,i always ring up 30 mins after dropping her off if she cries and it is a great releif to here that she has completely forgotten about me and is busy doing fun stuff.

Hi!
Been busy here!! Umm...had a party on Sat and went and visited my friend on Sunday and then we had a huge day out yesterday and I bought the most gorgeous new shoes!! Lol - bit of splurge but I loovvee them! hehe. We started off with a walk around Lilydale lake catching up with a friend and then went to Eastland - I don't think I've been before xmas because I'm trying not to spend money and of course I bought stuff! LOL! Not too much though...We didn't get home until 4.30pm so after cooking dinner etc I was wrecked! Michael and I chilled out though so that was nice - mind you the house looks like a bombs hit it!! Oh well...I don't really care at the moment!
Tracey - Thats great Jordan was so good with the baby!! I'm sure the boys will be great buddies!! How exciting going to qld...I'm sure you'll all be fine in 1 room!
Yeah at Jordan using kickboards at swimming! Louis had a great day in his lesson today - I think he just needed to settle back in - he was back to jumping in blowing his bubbles and going underwater!! Dylans absolutely loving it as well! I had them both in the water together today which was interesting - holding them both of course!
Hope work gets organised soon - sounds like a nightmare!
Rachael - bugger at Milo getting up!! Hope he's settled back down again for you...
Thats great he's going to bed easily though!! Yeah at getting a night out at the movies!!
I wouldnt' stress to much about lessons but may be worth going on a waiting list in case it takes ages. I'm sure some spaces will come up when the weather cools down.
Wow - you must be such a great swimmer!! What an achievement.
It must be so stressful when things stuff up in the morning like that! Glad you got it sorted though!
Nikki - No offense taken!!! Yes I'm still your friend! You dag...hehe.
The last couple of days he's had a sleep and then been up to after 9pm stuffing around so today he slept 20min in the car on the way home from swimming and rather than putting him to bed he's having a rest on the couch. I can totally understand where you're coming from and of course we'll let him sleep if he needs it - no hard and fast rules here but it's just to hard to have him mucking around at bedtime as it wakes Dylan up since they're sharing. We have always liked to have the kids in bed at 7pm - 7.30pm at the latest as we really value out time to chill out at night. He's usually sleeping in until around 7-8am as well.
As for time out - he chills out on the couch so I don't have to stress. He's never been a demanding kid so he's happy to do his thing while I'm working or doing housework. I get more achieved in the evening so thats when I'd prefer them to be asleep. Also, Michael's home at around 4-4.30pm each day so he has plenty of time with the kids before they go to bed as well...
Sounds like you had a beautiful time at the zoo!! The music stuff sounded like it would be great!
Cindy - OMG at Charlotte!! Wow!! Thats a pretty huge effort! Cheeky monkey!
I would love to still come out on the 1st!!! It would be great to get out and leave Michael at home with the kids - LOL! If only I had weaned then I could leave really early and make Michael do everything - LOL!
Oh no at the air con!! It must be soo hot! Hope it gets fixed soon...the poor kids hurting themselves.
Sorry to hear your not well - thats no good. Aww poor Tori hating childcare...Louis was the same when he was little screaming...No easy solutions unfortunately.
Thanks for the cups!! I won't be able to have another party just yet - I've got my Total Learning one on Sunday and then I better give everyone a break for a couple of months - I promise I'll have one soon for you though!!
Speaking of which - Are you guys able to make it on Sunday?? I'm so excited! I got access to the web today and there are so many great books I want already - LOL! I think I'm going to love it! I'm waiting on my kit though - hopefully I'll have it soon - although my leader person is bringing all of her stuff anyway!
Chat later!!
I'm pretty free in April at this stage as well other than Fri nights...if you wanted to make another date anyway...
Realy quickly from me! I wont know if i can come sunday till the day sorry- al is working (they have a big sale on) and so i will have to bring the girls and if they are feral then forget it! What time is it starting?
OK, got to go do tea
Hi!
Cindy - It's 1pm! See how you go! The kids are more than welcome but I understand if they're cranky you won't want to...
Thanks!
i got chantelles ears peirced this morning
she is not my friend any more
oh no Nikki! :) poor Chantelle.
I bet she will like it when she is at kindy though and all the other girls are jealous! I was one of the jealous girls til my mum relented and let me get my ears peirced, but not til grade 3!
she is happy now,she has been checking herself out in the mirror for the past hour and asked me if she could go to creche to show everyone.
she was in alot of pain and i felt very bad.
all better now!she likes me again...phew!
Nikki SO cute about Chantelles earrings, I am sure she will love showing them off. I will be 32 weeks when we go to QLD, we are off there in about 4 weeks. I am feeling really good I am worried about the heat mainly. SHould be ok though, people get preg in QLD so they obviously deal with it.
Rachel work changed software programs so we are still waiting for all data to be changed over and they only transfered the cust details, no history which makes my job really difficult. The new software is good when it works but it has many teething probs. I am sure I will get over it soon. I am sure you are doing enough with Milo. Playgroup and creche are good for social interaction. He is a well adjusted little boy, you shouldnt be worried.
Krisite I am glad you reminded me about your party, I will be there. No Jordan though as he will be sleeping. I would like to see what I can get for him as he is really getting into books at the moment.
Cindy I am sure Tori perks up when you leave her. Its the initial shock of you leaving thats the worst. Is Charlotte still climbing?
Well I had a busy morning. Babysat for a friend for a few hours this morning. Jordan has a ball having sometime to play with. finally got myself showered at 11 and then cleaned up the house, it was an absolute pig sty.
Tap class was great last night. Liam liked it, he kicked away whilst I tapped :)
Hope you all have a great night

Hi!
Had Dylans check up this morning - he's only 8.85kg!! Hehe. She's not worries though and neither am I - he eats heaps but is just so active!
Nikki - omg! I didn't even know you could get them done this young! LOl at looking in the mirror!
Tracey - I'm sure you'll be fine on your holiday! I'm so jealous!! hehe.
Yeah!! So glad you can make it on Sunday! I can't wait to see you and your belly!
Thats great your enjoying tap!! Your so good for keeping it up!!
Chat later - got to get the kids organised for gymbaroo!
well today i have been SO tired. Jordan came into my room at 6.30, we got up at 7however I could have slept for another 2-3 hrs I think. I was falling asleep on the couch whilst we were watching tele this morning. I had to drag myself to playgroup which was good. Jordan had a good time, they had lots of toy tools out today and he loved it. Jordan has been good today though, keeping himself entertained so I could chill on the couch.
Lam is getting really active now. My belly has been moving heaps as he is rolling around. Jamie and I have been watching it change shape as he moves from side to side. He's activeness however is making the haeartburn extreme, its awful tonight.
Hoping tomorrow at work wont be too bad. Hope I am able to take is easy.
Krisite I think 8.5 kilo is a good weight for Dylans age. I cant wait to see him moving around. I am looking forward to catching up with you on sunday.
Have a great friday everyone

Hi!
Trace - Glad you managed to doze today - isn't it nice when you can do that and the kids play nicely! How great your belly's moving around so much - I love that about being p/g!!!! It's the best feeling!! Aww - your making me all clucky thinking about it! hehehe.
Hope you're all well!! Chat later!
well today at work the last of the reports started working so I am glad I can finally do my work properly.
Jamies mum bought me some maternity PJs today, they are gorgeous and have support for my boobs, very excited, they look and feel great.
OOHHHH JORDAN DID WEES IN THE POTTY TONIGHT!!!!!!! I am so excited. MIL said he said to her "nanny wees" today so I decided to try him on the potty before i put him to Bed. He did wees in the potty and he was so proud. Jamie and I were too. I am going to get Jamie to try him again tomorrow whilst I am at work and see how we go.
Watching the movie the lake house, its really good.
Have a good weekend everyone

i was very excited this after noon after speaking to grant.he gave me the all clear to come to your book look on sunday,i couldnt wait to get on here and let you know kristie.I WANT BOOKS!
BUT
i took harry and james to my clinic tonight to have a rash looked at that they have both had for the past few days and it appears they are highly contagious with a parvo virus.apart from the revolting fast spreading rash all over there bodies they have temp and runny nose.it is very dangerous to the fetus in pregnant women.so i wont be there after all.dr said there is a great chance that the other 2 kids will get it and have probably infected alot of other kids at there creche and schools....OOOPPPPS!i am also at risk cos i have been touching them alot the past few days while inspecting them.
i will definantly have a party for you cos I WANT BOOKS did i mention that.
i will book in sunday 16th march at 3pm if that is oky doky with you.
i am also booking a holiday to merimbula in jan next year if anyone is interested in shacking up with us.let me know.
mmmwwwaahhhhh!
hope you are all having a good night
snap tracey
Hi!
Not much from me...kids are well...
Tracey - Glad works all sorted! Ooh you'll sleep well tonight with your new pj's!
GO JORDAN!! Yeah - thats great!! There'll be no stopping him soon!!!
Nikki - Oh the poor kids! Awww hope they all get better soon - and hope that you don't get it either!
Bugger - would have been great if you could make it but booking a party is excellent!! Thanks!! Sun 16th @ 3pm will be fine with me!
Ooh I love Merimbula - but I won't be able to commit to a holiday - hopefully we'll be moving into a new house in over Christmas/January!! (cross fingers..)
Chat later!
Nikki I hope the kids get better soon and the rest of the house dont get it. I will also come to your book party if thats ok (to invite myself).
SNAP right back to you Nikki
Krisite I hope you do get to move into your new house over xmas this year, that would be excellent.
we were hoping to go back to lakes entrance again over xmas this year. Will see what happens though.
Night night
XX
we will be stopping for one night at lakes entrance on our way there.who knows could be when you are there and we can have dinner together or something.
Hi girls!!
Kristie - i cant make it tomorrow sorry - i am going to see my friend in ballarat to help her out with her new bub coz she is really sick sorry and she doesnt have family and her hubby has to go back home to see his family OS cos there is dramas there too- if i get back not to late though i could drop in. Im only going for the day and takingthe kids out and letting her get some rest.
Also i need to cancel my body shop party on the 4th - i will doa catalogue party instead though coz i have friends wanting to order stuff and book parties from my party already.
Reason i am cancelling thouhg is that we got a rental but it is in Hampton Park and NOBODY will want to come out there i can tel lyou now and the place is smaller than yours so i just dont see how i can sqash people in!
Nikki - bugger the kids are so contagious - yucky, i hope you do nget it too! How are channys ears going?
Tracey - glad to hrea liam is nice and active and jordy sounds interested in the potty!
rachael hows the house planning going?
Kirsty - good to hear from you always, I really just wanted to say that you gussy boy is just to cute! i love your new ticker picture!
Oh i have news!!!!!
NICKY IS PREGANANT!!! Yay, it only took them one month of trying so she is in shock about it happening right away. She is only 6 weeksish so far and not having a scan till april so due date is some time in october.
Whats happening next weekend? Anything?
Ok im off to bed
night all
Hi!
Bugger Cindy! Never mind...Don't stress about getting here tomorrow - it's too big a drive to be worrying about it!
I'll organise a whole lot of stuff for you soon and you can do some catalogue parties! That would be great if you have some friends that would like to book parties though! The great thing is with me doing TL and TBS is that I can take bookings for either and people get their host rewards - so if you booked 1 of each you would still get the full benefits - if that makes sense! I'm hoping it will work well as some people may be more interested in 1 than the other...we'll see anyway!
Wow at getting a rental in Hampton Park! When do you move in?
Oh wow - thats great it happened so quickly for Nikki! Thats fantastic!! We love October babies - LOL!
Ummm - I'm up for going out next Sat if you are!
Had my first TL training today which was good! I'm just hanging to get my kit now...it came on Fri but I wasn't home so the couriers took it back again - grrr!
K - better get organised! Chat later!
tracey can you suggest accomodation in lakes entrance.we dont mind spending money and has to be nice and fit up to 6 people,i havnt been there so thought you could shed some light. 2nd-4th of jan
I'm still coming tomorrow Kristie. I may not be bringing Milo yet cos he normall goes to sleep around 12. I was going to bring him but we took him to a backyard music fetival/concert type thing today and he is exhausted. It was at someone house in Thornbury - bet the neighbours were rapt, not!
Nikki, that's no good about the boys :( I hope they get well soon.
Cindy, yay on getting a rental. I have no idea where Hampton Park is, its not the same as Hampton is it? I dont htink so...
Yay on Nicky being pregnany too.
Go Jordan! Wees on the potty is great news!!
Well, other than the gig today we have not been up to much lately. Milo has been stuttering a bit lately, mainly when he gets really excited. He does it for a few days and then is fine for a week, then it starts again. I spoke to MIL and she think Neil did she same thing when he was little, but she cant say for sure. He got really upset/frustrated by it today and woudlnt finish the word though, so I am going to get him an appt with a speech pathologist just to make sure they think its normal.
Mum came home from hospital today, yay. I dont remember whether I said anything, but mum had to get a hernia operation last Thursday. Her surgeon says it went really well and was a lot less that they thought they were going to have to do, so that's good news.
What has everyone got planned for the labour day long weekend? i was trying to get my relos enthused about a working bee at our place, but I think I will end up just getting alocal gardener around to have at it, and a skip out the front to cart it all away.
Spoke to Neil today about no2, and decided we will start as soon as the house is sold abd we have a clear idea of how much leave I can have off, and how much we need to save to fund it.
Thats it for me.
Hi!
Rachael - No worries - will be great to catch up again! Wow - how interesting to have a concert in your backyard!
I'm sure Milo will just be going through a stage with his stuttering...especially if it's only when he's excited?? Sounds like a good idea to get it checked out anyway though...
Thats great your mums operation went well!!
I think labour day weekend we'll just be chilling out at home. We've been so busy lately that it will be nice to just be at home for a few days...
How exciting that your in talks for no.2!!! I'm sure it will be nice to put a date on it as such!
I've just done all the housework - well, except for vacuuming & mopping - in prep for tomorrow - it was so desperately needed! My house has been feral lately...so need to get the carpets steam cleaned as well - I think I'm going to try and rent one of those ones from the supermarket to do ourselves for our little bits of carpet.
I find the best way to do housework now is to get on the phone to someone so that it doesn't feel like I'm cleaning cos I'm having a good chat to a friend and catching up!
Michael's out tonight for his brothers birthday so it's nice and quiet. I'm thinking I'll probably jump into bed soon and have a read - haven't done that in ages!! There's heaps I should be doing but I don't think I can be bothered!
Sweet Dreams - Chat later!
time for a new thread everyone
