Babies Born October - December 2005 #4

Hi!

OMG - it's sooo quiet in here - I hope you're all having great weekends!!

All is well here..I've been really lethargic but I'm getting there...Last night Louis had a sleep over at his Nannas so dh and I went to the movies! Was soo nice to get out of the house and do something just the 2 of us! I missed my little boy though! He did really well and wasn't even that fussed when we came and picked him up! little terror!
Yesterday dh got a screw drill thing into his hand nearly an inch deep he things so it was off to the dr for him today as I wanted him to get a tetanus shot. I'm sure he wouldn't have gone if I didn't make him...now we just have to make sure it doesn't get infected...
Umm what else?? went to the bank yesterday and we're looking into consolidating some loans and refinancing our mortgage which would be great!! It's so nice to feel like we're getting somewhere with our money!! Makes our goal of buying land at the end of next year look a lot more likely!!
Otherwise it's been pretty quite around here!
Nikki - I'll see you tomorrow at Cindy's!! I'll have to message her in the morning as I can't find her addresss! I probably won't get there until around 2-3ish as I want Louis to have his sleep first - he's didn't sleep too much at mums yesterday so I don't want him to be cranky!!

Well I'm concerned at what my body is trying to tell me ladies even though I know what it feels like it's telling me IYKWIM. I've been feeling sick for a little over a wk and a half now. On wednesday night it felt like someone was squeezing my internal organs (kidneys) and they were about to explode or something really ouchy! Anyway, that had all stopped by Thursday but I was still feeling crook and did a pg test. I had what I thought may have been a faint 2nd line but until it becomes a true 2nd line it doesn't count for me. Friday every muscle in my body was aching and throbbing right down to my little toes and it feels like I had fire under my skin. I checked my temp 38.8...I've still got the urges to want to sleep all the time and when I need to pee I need too go or a little accident may occur. Sorry TMI! My kidneys are aching like I have an infection and they feel like they are burning. Plus the spot where my c/s line is, is really sore. I had a mate around last night who had me come check the coffee jar out and I couldn't even handle the smell. I so went white as with the whiff of it. Late last night I had spotting, but my dilema is, last night I was only up to day 24 on my cycle...The spotting has ceased again this morning on day 25. This so feels the same way Benjamin was announced into the world of the womb, but without the pain, only the kidney infection is the same. Could baby 2 be on it's way? I will be telling my diabetes doctor tomorrow as I have an appointment with her at the base hospital. I'm sure she'll run bloods to check for me. Until then :pray:

Melissa

Hi!

Wow Melissa - I can't wait to hear how you go tomorrow!!! You don't sound too great but it's interesting thats how you felt with Benjamin!! Good Luck!!

I've had a gorgeous afternoon at Cindys! Nikki came along as well with her dh, Chantelle and baby Harry!
I forgot to say to you Nikki that you look gorgeous!!! I wouldn't pick you for having a baby only 6 weeks ago!! I can't believe Harry slept the whole time! I'm so having cuddles next week!!! Chantelle is looking as gorgeous as ever as well!
The kids had a ball running around and playing and did so well with such little sleep!! Louis crashed 5min after we left and he's still asleep - I'll have to get him up soon or he'll never go to sleep tonight!
Cindy's looking great and looks very happy having their own place now!! Hopefully she'll be back online soon!!
Well Nikki - the boys got along well! I feel they bonded over an alcoholic beveridge or two! hehehe. I think it helps that they were both quite talkative - hehe.

K - better go and sort out my little man and some dinner!

I hope you've all had a great weekend!!

Hi everyone!
Just a quick update to say I will be barely here for the next week, still on training all week for work, and then working at home some nights (so might be online htose nights, but busy!)

We went to a wedding last night, and my parents stayed at our place with Milo! They still aren't up for him staying the night with them on his own, mostly cos he willl be in the portacot not a real cot, and its really hard on my mums back with all the bending.

he decided 5:30am wasa great time to eake up today! I am so glad I stopped at one glass of wine!

Today we went swimming which tired Milo out and he was asleep by the time we got home (its a 3 minute drive)! Then I think Neil took him to Rippleside (sp? Dani you might know this place - I haven't been) park, while I went out to a high tea with my Aunty's garden club! Sounds boring I know, but its really nice! I love tea!

Hi!

We just went to Play School with Louis!! He had some fun but a lot of it was over his head! Probably could have been about 6 months older really - but still worth the trip! Then Cindy and I had mcdonalds with the kids...Well Louis ate a couple of pasta zoo shapes and his milk and then was more interested in mummys chippies! hehe.
He's sooo tired and cranky now though! After having such a full on day yesterday and now today going out he's wrecked! (actually - so am I! hehe)

Nikki - How did your check up go today?? You mentioned it yesterday but we didn't get to chat...

Rachael - Sounds like you had a great weekend! I bet tea out was beautiful!!

gosh where is everyone.
ray ray that is why i dont drink its too hard to get up the next day to children.glad you got to go out,sounds like you had a great weekend.
kristie glad you and cindy enjoyed play school.we had a great time catching up with you on the weekend and dh thought michael was a great bloke.both of your baby bumps are just georgous and so much alike.
ok.im exhausted going to bed now.

just took a peek at the new target catalouge and still no tori or chantelle.boohoo!!!
nikki

Hi!

Nikki - Bugger they're still not in the catalogue - I'm sure it will be coming up!!
Yeah it will be good to catch up every so often for us all to have a chat and the kids to run around!!
You'll have to let me know how your check up went still!!!
Hope you get a good nights sleep in!!

Well, after posting the other day I went to the hospital to get checked out. We haven't got a pregnancy yet, but my cysts have grown. My left cyst is just over 10cms, that's 3cms bigger than last check, and my right one is almost 13cms and last check it was only 9cms. The doctor was more concerned about my kidneys than my cyst as my right kidney is a little enlarged. He gave me antibiotics and sent me home. My doctor is away for 2 weeks so I can't get her to check up on those cysts. I'll be at her door the moment she gets back. My diabetes doctor is very adamant that I am pregnant and to give it a week to test again. If AF arrives this week, I know it's just the cysts. If AF doesn't arrive this week I'll be testing on the weekend again. I'd just like to be healthy!

Melissa

oh melissa,what a frustating time for you,i hope the pain has settled for you some what.big hugs to you.
nikki

Oh Melissa you poor thing! I hope it all sorts out...

I think we're going to have a quiet day at home today...I should really do some housework...I've been putting it off for 2 weeks now so although the house is tidy it's starting to look a bit feral...When's this nesting urge going to kick in? hehehe.

enjoy your rest kristie,im still nesting and im not even pregnant hehehe!!!!!
nikki

what has happened to everyone,in the past week only 4 of us have posted,is there a conspiracy?seems everyone has left us,i hope not,hopefully everyone has just been busy,at the start it was so overwhelming and i couldnt keep up and now it seems that everyone has up and left.mmmmmmm.
nikki

I'm here. just scarce! Busy with the training at work, and not much time for anything in between.

Mum took Milo to a playgroup today, its run byt a speech pathologist and a physio, so they do all fun learning games and stuff. Apparently he had a fabulous time!

I'm here Nikki! hehehe. What a surprise hey?? It certainly is very quiet! Tracey is away though and Cindy hasn't got her computer sorted yet...

I still didn't do any housework - I'm soooo naughty!! I didn't even shower until the afternoon! hehe. Nikki - I do not know where you get the energy to keep your house sooo clean! hehe.

I'm tired now though..off to bed...dh went early so I watched a dvd and ate chocolate...hehe.

Hopefully I'll get something done tomorrow!

Justa really quick one from me! HELLOO my lovelies!!!!!!!

I am at work and meant to be getting stuff done but my brain just wont work.

I just wanted to say what a great time I had on sunday with you guys kristie and nikki. I think the boys all got along well too which is great! We so have to do it more often as families, that way us girls get to chat without having to run after the kids all the time too! Al commented on what a great couple friends i have made through bellybelly. It really is amazing how close you ca get to people on a computer! i fee like i have known your girls forever! My door is always open to you girls too!

Promise me we will keep catching up lots and lots!!

I must be off, the phon is ringing now and there is only so long you can ignore it, I wont be online properly for another week so telstra is telling us!

I will see you at the bellybelly meet up??

Hi!

Cindy - Yep!! We are very lucky to have made such good friends!! I'm still not 100% on the BB meet up on Monday...I'll have to play it by ear I think...
Bugger on having to wait another week for the internet!

Went down to the shops to do a few things (Nup - didn't buy anything!) and Louis was throwing the biggest tantrums...grrr. I coudn't believe it. He wanted to go on all the little cars and wanted to drive our car and just cried and cried. (Mind you I did give him a turn on one of the cars...) Anyway, hopefully he'll have a big sleep today. He's been going to bed a bit late at the moment so I'll have to make sure he's in bed at 7pm tonight...

Dropped off documents to the bank today to see about consolidating our personal and home loan..they'll need to value our house which will be really interesting! Hopefully we can do that and start getting ahead a bit. Then we can start looking for land next year! Wooo hooo!

Chat later...

hello out there.chantelle is teething again,she is cutting her bottom molars,so that will be 12 teeth,poor munchkin is in pain,harry is well,just decided he likes to be held or fed to sleep so he is starting to wake regularily when he realises that we are not there.
the house we are renting has new tenants lined up,so that means we will not have to pay rent any longer than when we leave as we broke the lease so that is good news.my nephew who is 14 is an extreme bmx rider,he was not wearing his helmet when he was taking a jump and had a nasty stack,he was taken by ambulance to hspital where he spent 2 nights on a drip and neck brace,he does not recall anything that happened that day.he spent the day with me today as he needed observation and supervision while his parents both worked,i decided to let my boys stay home from school to keep him company,so i had 5 children at home today,he has to have more tests but is ok for now.very scary though and a big lesson learnt about the importance of wearing a helmet.corey has been very emotional about it and has been asking me alot of questions about death,.
anyway,im going to hit the sack and get some zzzzzzz's
nikki

Hi!

Wow it's just sooo quiet in here!! Not much news here...Louis had swimming today and other than that we just chilled out. My brother and his gf had their 20w scan today and won't tell us the sex - grrr. Although they said they may when they've had a few days to let it sink in...

Nikki - Poor Chantelle with her teething...hopefully it's over with quickly! Thats great about your house! I'm sure that will save a bit of money!
I'm so sorry to hear about your nephew - I hope everything turns out ok! Sounds like it could have been a lot worse as well...I hope Corey is ok with everything...

I'm off to bed...

Well, I'm still here, just not a well person still...My doctor got me an appointment with my Gyno to sort out my rather large cysts. I was so happy they were that quick in getting me an appointment. It's not until next month, but it is something. I just want my hormones sorted, because the cysts have chucked them out of whack in a major way. Af did arrive but has only really lasted 2 days. Still really lathargic and sleepy all the time...

Kristie - Have you started scrubbing floors yet? My gyno had suggested that when I was getting close to time or eating pineapple.

I hope the rest of you are all doing well?

Melissa

melissa,bugger about af but fantastic that your appointment was made.hopefully once they are removed you will be prg straight away.
kristie,cindy just called me to say that her and al and tori will be going to the bb meet on monday,grant just got home and told me that he will be coming aswell,so hopefully you and dh and louis will make it also.it is going to be 25 degrees,georgous day for a picnic in the park,she is bringing rolls and snax and i am taking bbq chicken and drinks,that way we dont each have to pack a full lunch.
hope everyone else is doing well.
nikki

Hi!

Melissa - sorry to hear about af! I hope everything gets sorted out for you soon! Ha - scrubbing floors?? I don't think that would ever happen! hehe. I avoid housework at all costs! hehehe. I'd rather go overdue -hehe!

Nikki - Oohh I'll have to talk to dh when he gets home!! Sounds good though...I'll let you know over the weekend! I'm soooo lazy and urrgh at the moment...I know the fresh air would be great and I know Louis will have a ball! It won't be long before we're all stuck indoors with rainy/cold weather so I know I should make the most of it now!!

I'm here! just been on this course all week, and Milo has been sick with a runny bottom since wednesday. I am taking him to the doctors again tomorrow cos the nappy rash is really getting worse, and we have already go the strongest over the counter crea, that we can, so I hope they have some ideas for me! His poor little bum is like red sandpaper :(

Hi!

Ooh Rachael that sounds awful. Louis has had a couple of really bad bouts where his little bottom even blisters and weeps. It's so sad for them....I don't have any advice - I've only ever put cream and powder on...Hope the dr's can help tomorrow!

Nikki/Cindy - Yep - we'll be there on Monday unless something drastic happens before then! hehe. What do you want us to bring??...

Louis the little terror has only just gone to sleep! I think from having such a late night last nigh (9.30) he just didn't want to got to bed tonight! Tomorrow will be another late one for him as well so I hope he's not going to end up too cranky!!

Have a good weekend everyone!

great kristie,ummmm,maybe you could bring some paper plates and cups and something yummy for the kids.
racheal,poor milo.maybe he is teething,im sure the dr will be able to suggest something that works super fast.
i wonder how tracey and family are going in hawaii.bet they are having such an ace time.
nikki

we're coming monday if Milo is all clear by Sunday morning.
But honestly I am doubting it at this stage.
Do you think 24hours of normal-ness is enough to be safe?

Hi!

All well here...Louis slept in until 8.20am!! I woke up at 6am in tears though from a stupid dream...how dumb is that...I felt really silly but just couldn't help it - hehehe.

Nikki - No worries!! If there's anything else you think of just let me know! Ooh yeah - I bet she's having a ball!! How could you not in Hawaii!! Oooh I could so do with a holiday! hehe.

Rachael - I'm sure he'll be fine to bring along by then...

ALOHA Ladies

We are back from Hawaii and we had a FANTASTIC time.
The flight over was pretty good. Jordan slept for about 4 hrs, from 8pm-1pm (aus time) We left here are 5.30 so he stayed up till his usual bed time. They then did the dumbest thing on the flight, they turned the lights back on at 1am (waking Jordan) to serve a light breaky WTF????? He then stayed awake till 3am (aus time) till we landed etc, 6am Hawaii time. He fell asleep at the car rental pick and slept in the car on the way to the hotel. We were all so tired from the flight over we asked them to give us ANY room they could so we could have a sleep so we gota room at around 12ish, check is was 3pm. We were given a 4th floor room but then moved to the 12th floor the next day.
Jordan went off his food whilst we were there, he harldy ate a thing. I think he is teething as he was biting everything. Jamie and I on the other hand pigged out on all the amercan goodies. I think I have put on so much wieght in the 1 week we were there, lucky it wasnt longer.
We finally got Jordan all settled and eating again on the 2nd last day, typical and then we had to leave.
We spent most of the time swimming, shopping and just hanging about. It was really relaxing.
The flight home today was long and I am so buggered. We got up at 4am (hawaii time) 1am (aus time) to get ready to leave, got to aiport at 5am, flight left at 8.15am. Jordan has 3 good sleeps on the plane as not much else to do, he was really good. We had plenty to keep him amused. I didnt get any sleep so I am ready to hit the hay tonight. DH spread himself over the 4 seats and had a few good sleeps so he feels pretty good.

Cant beleive how quiet it has been in here since i went way, I was expecting to be here for ever reading up on everything.
CIndy glad your party went well and cant wait to see you all.
Krisite, yeah on getting debts consolidated, we did it and its great.
Nikki cant wait to see you tuesday and catch up on everything.
RayRay hope Milo is feeling better.

What is this meet up? I will have to have a look and find it.
Take care and catch up soon XX
Missed you all

Hi!

Tracey - Soooo glad you had a great time!!! Wow - such a long time to be on a plane!! I'm glad Jordan coped so well. Can't wait to see some piccies!!

Yep - there's a meet up tomorrow at 1pm...I can't remember the park but Nikki knows it. There is a thread on it in the member meet up section...

Finally did the house work yesterday - the PIL were coming over so that was a good motivator - hehe. We had Dh's cousins 30th last night and Louis stayed up until 10.45pm by the time I got him home!! OMG! Of course he was up at the same time this morning so I assume he'll crash and have a big sleep through the day today (I hope) He's been having such big days/nights lately! Oh well, should be a cruisy week next week...
Dh is still asleep with his hangover (he didn't get home til 2am which is pretty good for him! - it was a pretty average party...) and we're going to clean the car and get the car seats ready today...woohoo. Then I"m already for Dylan to arrive!

Speak later - hope you got a good sleep Trace!

hey there Rachael

Why don't you try a big handful of Bicarb Soda and 2-3drops of good lavendar oil in Milo's bath - the Bicarb will soften the water - i know that sounds funny but you will know what i mean when you try it - it also helps to heal wounds and so does the lavendar - it may help with the soothing also.

Maybe look at putting some Paw Paw cream on his bottom also - but then again that may not be strong enough.

Goodluck - hope he feels better real soon

Well Jordan is still on Hawaii time, he was up at 5.30am (8.30 Hawaii time) so its been a long day. He had his dinner bath and boobs by 6pm and is now in bed. We were pushing to keep him awake that long but I am hoping to have him back to normal by wednesday as I am back at work then :doh:

Kristy visitors is always a good motivator to clean up. I cant beleive how close we are to meeting Dylan, I cant wait. You are so organised hope you are getting rest. What a good boy Louis is to stay up so late, and sleep in for you. I dont know if I will make the meet up tomorrow, prob stay home with Jordan and try and sort the times out.

I got some good news from DH on the flight home, he is happy for us to officially TTC #2 once I stop BF'ing. I had planned on giving up BF after our trip (we are only on 1 night feed) and he is starting to bite now with all his teeth so can be painful at times. I am excited to know that there is a chance we will have a second baby now and its not just me wishing for it.
I am not going to stop BFing just yet want to get Jordan back to normal before I lump this change on him.
How did you give up the night feed? Do I just give him a cup of milk before bed? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Take care XX

Hi!

Went shopping this afternoon looking for a pedal bike for Louis but no luck just yet. I think I'll have to go with the more expensive one to get everything I want....We went into toys r us and I almost had to drag dh out of there - hehehe. Then we did a bit of food shopping and dh had to buy Louis a hot wheels car - his first one now! He blames me for all the spending but really he's just as bad!
I'm so tired though and my backs really hurting - I've got bad sciatic pain - so I'm off to bed in a minute!

Tracey - Bugger on the long day - I hope he settles back into a good routine soon! Woohoooo on ttc!! How exciting - I know you've been waiting for this for ages so I'm glad that you can get cracking ! hehe. I hope it all happens nice and quickly for you! Yep - when I stopped I just gave Louis a cup of milk. He's usually not tooo fussed but sometimes has a whole cup sometimes just a half...He doesn't really need it but it's time for him and dh to sit on the couch watching tv for 10-15min before bedtime. We just bring his blanket and dummy out and he has his drink and then it's off to bed. He never worried about it at all...good luck!!!

Hi girls, Sorry I haven't been around. Have been a bit preoccupied these past couple of weeks waiting for Gussy's various medical test results. I have two lots of exciting news. Number 1 - Gussy's MRI came back with no scary news. Looks like the swelling under his skull is nothing to worry about and is most likely a reaction to his helmet. Still need to show the MRI scans to the Neurosurgeon, but it is a tremendous relief. Feel like I'm floating. We were so worried.
Exciting news number 2 - I did a HPT this morning and got a BFP! Can't believe it as we weren't trying. Let's hope this bubba is a sticky and stays strong and healthy in my tummy until full term. Seems like both my bubbas were conceived by a happy accident! he he. Think bubba will be due in mid-late November. Anyhow, now I've got that off my chest will go back and catch up on your posts over the past week or two.

OMG!!!! Kirsty how exciting!! on both counts!!!
I'm so glad to hear little Gussy is ok!
Wow on expecting a new little bubba as well!!! Ooh I hope you can get some rest in these early weeks!
I wish you so much luck and hope bubba 2 stays in mummys tummy for a looonnnnggg time!! (well, I'm 40 weeks will be sufficient! hehe)

Off to meet Nikki and Cindy at the BB meet up a bit later! Should be a nice day for it - not too hot! I'm sure the kids will have a ball!

oh kirstie,that is wonderful,i am sooo releived that the scans have come up clear,i was thinking about the 3 of you many times last week.
congratulations on a new little bundle,may god be with you (if there is one ) through this pregnancy,i will be sending a huge amount of sticky vibes and praying that this little tike stays strong and healthy throughout your pregnancy,please pop in more regularily and keep us up to date on how both gussy and your wee one progress.
nikki

Thanks Kristie and Nikki, You are sweethearts! I appreciate your well wishes!!! I will try to pop in more often. I just spent a little while catching up on posts. I can't believe how quiet this part of the forum has been in the past couple of weeks. Wonder whether it's because there are so many of us that it seemed a bit tricky keeping up with the flood of posts in the first few weeks??

I just booked in to my Ob and hospital. Very excited to be preggers again and if I'm honest quite shocked and a little scared that things won't go smoothly. He ha. My Ob said after Gussy was born there was a high risk of subsequent preterm deliveries and 2nd trimester miscarriages due to the shape of my uterus. Having said that he also said "every pregnancy is different" and that my uterus would have been stretched with Gussy's pregnancy so might not be so small next time around. Just to be safe however my Ob wants to monitor me more closely than he would regularly monitor a second pregnancy.

Melissa - Hope your cysts can be dealt with. What a huge pain for you. I am so sorry to hear you have been unwell. Hope your specialists can get on top of it for you asap!

Tracey - Am sooo jealous of your trip to Hawaii. I have been to Oahu and Maui a couple of times and absolutely love the warm relaxing atmosphere. For some reason Hawaii feels like a real beach holiday IFKNIM! Well done managing the long plane journeys so well!

Rachael - Hope Milo is feeling better and that his little bottom is ok. I've found Orabase paste to be a wonder treatment for nappy rash. It's actually designed for mouth ulcers, but works really fast to cure the worst nappy rashes. Gus only seems to get a rash when he's teething. The acid poop seems to burn him within seconds of arriving. With Orabase we can get rid of it within hours and a particularly bad case within 24hours. It's kind of pricey though - about $12 for 15g but in my opinion it's well worth it.

Missy - I just popped in to see your photos. Callum is gorgeous (and a very talented artist to!) he he.

By the way - Nikki, Kristie, Cindy and Rachael - Hope you have fun today at the BB meet up. Wish I lived closer and could drop by to catch up with you all.

Kirstie Congratulations on the pregnancy and also the good news on Gus's scan. Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy

Well we are still having probs with Jordans sleep. He is currently screaming in his cot, he normally flakes it after playgroup so I dont know what to do. I think I will start vacumming so I cant hear him and hopefully he will clam himself and fall asleep. I dont think I will be going to work at this stage as I dont want to leave him with mum whilst he is this unsettled.
Better go check on crying bubs, take care everyone, hope to come back later with some more personals.

Congratulations Kirtsy, on the good news with Gus & the BFP!!

Dianna - thanks for that. We had 3hours with no nappy on sautrday which helped a lot, and I am using pawpaw in between the strong nappy cream that I got at the chemist (cos thats only 2-3 times a day)

I am hopeful that he is at the tail end now, this morning was the first time his dirty nappy has been anything like normal. SO I am keeping him off cows milk for another few days at least, probably a week, as every time I give him dairy he regresses.

So i'm sorry I missed the picnic, I was really looking forward to it as well :(

Kristy - Congrats :hug: It was great to hear the news about you being pg, hopefully :pray: there are no little hiccups with this one and things go better...

Well, I have my appointment for the gyno. My mum is having her cysts removed a few days after my appointment, so hopefully I'm not too far behind. I have perked up alot since last I posted. I still feel zonked at the end of the day, but when you have an overactive angel/monster on your hands, what mum doesn't need a catnap... We went to our first playgroup today and we both enjoyed it!

Melissa

hi guys,all is well here,kids are all great.i just put tips in all the boys hair tonight including dh,they look very spunky indeed.took chantelle to the toy library today and got some fantastic toys for her,she spent about 3 hours playing in the front lounge room with them,i couldnt beleive how long she was entertaining herself with them,she also got a nurses dress up set,me being a nurse i couldnt help myself and she just looked soooo cute in it.
went to the meet up on sunday,there was no show from anyone ecept myself,cindy and kristie.bit of a shame really be we had a fantastic time anyway and the men and kids did too.i felt very bad when i got home and discovered that harry got burnt on his little face.lots of bepanthen and it is looking alot better now.ooops!
tracey.how was hawaii?bet you had a ball,was the resort nice,did you swim much,what were the locals like,when we went to fiji we couldnt beleive how beautiful the fijians were.did they just love jordan.did he have lots of swims too,what is hawaii like as far as the landscape and scenery?
lots of questions.....im glad you all made it back happy and safe,hope jordan gets back into his usual routine very soon for you,dont blame you for not wanting to go back to work.yuck!sorry i didnt make it to play group today,i was going to post this morning to let you know but had my hands tide all morning,i had to pick james up at 12.25 today and take him to the podiatrist as he has a nasty ingrown toe nail.
melissa im glad you are feeling better,good on you for joining play group,it is nice to have something to look forward to during the week.
rachael,excellent news that milos rash has cleared,nappy free time is always good.
just checked target catalouge and still no chantelle or tori.grrr!!!!
gotta go chantelle is crying
nikki

Gee it is realy quiet in here at the moment.
Nikki wow on all the boys getting tips, I bet they do look spunky. What a bummer about the poor turn up for the meet up. Wish I could have made it but we are so desperate to get Jordan back to normal we are limiting his outings at the moment. OOps about Harrys sunburn, hope it gets better soon.
Hawaii is gorgeous and all the people were lovely aswell. They all loved Jordan, guess because of his blue eyes blonde hair. The americans were also really nice, the ones on vacation. We found that everyone said hello to you, in the lift, at dinner. It was really lovely. The place it lush and green, the sun was out all the time and its very clean, no litter anywhere. The beach was gorgeous. A lot of homeless though we found, just sitting and sleeping on the footpaths. They did ask for money at times but were nice about it and not annoyed if you said no. I told DH they were the nicest homeless I had ever come across.

Melissa glad you and Benjamin enjoyed playgroup. It really is a great couple hours out I think. Easy to let kids go and do their own thing without having to worry.

RayRay glad Milo is feeling better

Cindy How is the new house going and Tori? How are you feeling? hope you are getting some rest.

Krisite Hope you are well also. Getting plenty of rest before Dylan arrives.

Would really love to catch up with you all next week if you are able. I am free thursday if that suits. I am happy to travel whereever is easiest. Let me know if anyone can make it.

Well last night Jordan went to sleep with no probs (so pleased) he woke up at 7.00am and I have just put him down for a sleep as he was geting cranky. A few little cries but nothing major so lets see if we are back on track. (fingers crossed)
I am going to kill my puppies at the moment, they are constantly barking unless I bring them in the house and I dont want to as I cleaned it all yesterday and I want it fur free. I will just have to keep yelling at them I guess.
I also wanted to mow the lawn today but realised I dont know how to start the lawn mover (that would help) I think I will ask my neighbour over to start it for me. It is so long the dogs are getting lost in it. :)

Ok no other plans for today and no other news.
