sounds good to me!

Well, we trying half a bed tonight - cot side is off but its not fully converted yet. Between Neil, me and my parents, with the instrucitons, we couildnt work out how to attach the safety rails!
So theres a mattress on the floor - I just know he's going to fall out....actually I think I heard a thud!

Nikki - the doctor is quite sure apparently that he got his 2nd diagnosis right and that I do have my tubes still. Still waiting to be reviewed though. The head of the hospital is still trying to get the doctors together for a sit down with me to discuss what's there and what's not. The surgeon is still on leave indefinitely.

Waiting on good news now, my lips are sealed and I'm so not trying to jinx ourselves, but will keep you posted on the outcome.

Little man is doing well. Benjamin has hit the 100cm's mark and is 19.5 kilos now. He still has no concept of what cars can do to you if you run out in front of them, as he still attempts to run out in front of them. Twice today he let go of our hands and did the bolt into traffic, I don't care if it's a quiet street or a busy one, a road is a road! Benjamin just likes to scare us. Dh gave him a fair smack for it too.

Hi!

We've had a really full on week or two...my back/necks been giving me heaps of trouble and I've been getting more headaches. Also had a couple of parties this past week as well as running around with the kids! Ended up a bit of a mess today and had my long awaited cry! LOL...Michael's was off to his parents again today and will be home tomorrow night...he's been really moody and feral lately which hasn't helped me at all either...grrrr. He did let me have a sleep in today though and had a bit of a tidy up before he left so that was nice...
Gosh I really haven't posted for ages have I...I'm trying to think of all thats been happening...On the day of Charlottes b'day we had a crack in our radiator and in the evening our dishwasher broke - talk about expensive day! Luckily we managed to sort out both for a reasonable price...
Dylan had his 1st b'day party! It was an amazing day - I can't believe my little boy is 1!! He had such a fun day and loved having everyone around and it was so nice and sunny! He got lots of pressies and especially lots of clothes!!
He had his mchn visit on Thursday and is now at 9.6kg and 74.7cm long! so as smallish as he is she said developmentally he could pass for 18mo!!! Wow! He's learning more stuff everyday though and is just so gorgeous! He's going through a big building towers stage and so hates it if Louis sleeps and bangs on the door for him to wake up! He knows his tummy, toes, hair and is saying a few words as well...
Louis is great - he can write 1, 2, 3 now! We nearly died - he just showed us in the bath - he'd written it with bath crayon!! He's loving copying the alphabet in his abc book too with the whiteboard marker...Otherwise he's just cruising along...being gorgeous as ever and helping me out heaps which is nice...
Had my booking in at the Angliss yesterday...I'm going through the family birth centre this time which I'm excited about - even have the option for a waterbirth which would be amazing! I ended up all anxious though as she couldn't pick up the heartbeat and couldn't really even feel my uterus yet...I thought 3rd time around it would all come up earlier rather than later...so needless to say I'm anticipating my 12w u/s on next Wednesday. I can't believe how quickly this p/g is going though - amazing! I just hope everythings ok.

Melissa - Wow - Benjamin is huge!! Good luck with everything with the hospital...they seem to be taking there time getting organised with your information - hope you find out whats happening soon!
How scary Benjamin running out in the street...Gosh what a fright you'd get...

Cindy - Was great to see you guys at Charlotte's b'day...sorry we couldn't stay long...It ended being a bit of a disaster of a day with us really...Michael ended up spending the afternoon going to pick a part and getting a new radiator...
Woohoo on dtd!!
Awww at being emotional over Charlotte turning 1!! I dont' blame you..I've felt a bit that way myself...Yeah at it being undecided - I can understand you wanting to do your own thing though as well...The idea of having older kids and a bit of freedom does sound appealing as well!
I'm excited to see the new catalogue - I've already had a few people want to order some stuff so when you get around to it organise a pack for me and I'll try and get some sales happening!
Hey...I'm due Nov...so won't be in the same group as your SIL...

Tracey - I hope you had a great day today! I agree with everyone else - I've had size scans and they haven't been very accurate at all...I think they always end up overestimating the size as well so I'm sure you'll be fine!! I completely agree - as long as bubs is healthy though it doesn't matter how he comes out! I can't believe how quickly the times gone - you'll soon have your bubba in your arms! How exciting! Thats great your getting all organised...I love having everything sorted and all the little clothes washed and ready...I agree with Nikki - it's great to finish work early enough that you can relax and chill out...
Thats great Jordans doing so well with TT! Wow - thats amazing he's gone up to the next level with swimming!!! Gosh...I hope Louis will go up soon but I don't think they do it until they're 3 at our swimming...so prob not until next year...

Nikki - Yeah at having a great time at your 70's party! Hope Corey is all better now...I'm sure James will be fine at school - most boys are disruptive if I remember correctly! LOL! As long as he keeps his marks up he should be right! As you said, he 's only young - he's still got time to work out what he wants to do...
Sorry to hear you got sick - hope your all better now!
Gosh - wow what a tiny little baby...how are they going?? How scary to go so early...I can't believe you had another friend go so early as well..
Wow at working 3 days a week now - gosh I don't know how you do it all!

Rachael - Yeah at getting all your plans for your house sorted! How exciting! How did Milo go in his bed last night???

I'm hoping mum will babysit on the 9th as Michael will be away...so should be right...if she can't I'll hopefully be able to find someone else...Chinese sounds great - as long as it's got vegetarian food I'll be happy!!

Gosh I've written a novel - if anything doesn't make sense it's just because I've been watching Harry Potter at the same time - LOL! Chat later!

Hi ladies,

well I have the sweetest SIL's, MILs and DH for organsing a surprise baby shower for me. I was so shocked and had a teary when I realised ( lukcy there wasnt too many people there at that point ) I had a fabulous afternoon and Liam got absolutly spoilt, I have no idea how he is going to wear all the new clothes he was given let alone wear any of the hand me downs
Nikki and Rachel is was so lovely that you were able to make it. Cindy I am sorry to hear Charlotte is sick I hope she is better now.
I thought at the end of the arvo that my waters had broken as was getting little trickles of water ( poss just loosing my bladder) but nothing eventuated. This morning I had a little more which had some blood in it so not sure if this means things may start soon.

Jordan has been sick today, running a temp and vomitting ( i hope it isnt catchy as he was hanging out with Milo yesterday) He has gone to bed now so I am hoping he might sweat it out. I have told myself tonight isnt a good time to go into labour as he is sick and will want his mummy around so fingers crossed nothing happens today.

Kristie WOW sounds as though you have been busy. OMG at Louis writing his ABC he is just amazing. I think a waterbirth would be awesome. I have watched heaps on you tube and they look so relaxing and natural.

Melissa OMG at Benjamin running onto the road, I know what you mean a road is a road even if not busy. I hope he doesnt do it too often, it would give me a heart attack. I hope you do get good news, I have things crossed for you.

I have hospital app tomorrow so it will be interesting to see what happens and what position Liam is in. I will fill you in when I get home.
Take care

oh wow tarcey sounds like the start of things to me,get the dr to check if you have started dilating,it means an internal but could give you a really good indication if things are starting.if you had a klittle bit of blood sounds like you might lose your show VERY soon! oh im excited.

[Krisvee]

Hi!

Ooh Trace - sounds like it might be starting - good luck at your appt today - Let us know how you go!!! Sorry to hear that Jordan is so sick...hope he improves quickly!

Must do some food shopping today...there is absolutely no food left in the house...

[cindyb]

Hello all!

Tracey - so sorry we didnt make it the other day - i will hav to give you your pressie at our dinner! Sounds like you had a good day though and it also sounds like you could be meeting Liam nice and soon! How exciting- its still not real to me that you are having a baby!

Kristie- I will bring some catalogues to our dinner for you if you like. COuld you please do the same for me? One of each please! Did you ever end up catchin up with Melanie? She hasnt worked with us for a few weeks coz we havent needed her so i havent heard any updates but i know she was keen.

Well - we bought a house yesterday, no building, just a house which has everything we wanted so we got it and saved ourselves 20k in the process which is always nice and its only in narre warren so closer to everyone than lyndhurst too~! I must go now though, got to sign the papers.... What an expensive weekend!

The attachment for the house is here - 4 AVERY COURT NARRE WARREN

Its really grotty and will need a good clean coz the people renting it at the moment are revolting and just dont care! The kids have even drawn all over the walls and stuff like that! THe garden looks like it hasnt been touched since they moved in at christmas time. The people selling have said they will get it all cleaned up for us though.
