    Oh Rach I hope everything comes back ok for you.

    Krisite ease up on the housework you have done heaps lately and now you have bigger house more work..... so take it easy YEAH on the sleep in also thats excellent

    Well I decided last night that Liam can just sleep thru the night... I am sick of getting up once or twice a night and it is killing me. I am tired all the time and going to bed so early to make up for it. So its tough love now. I am going to feed him before I go to bed whether he likes it or not and then he wont be fed again till 6.30-7am. I will just try and perserve with the dummy. I think he is old enough to cut that middle night feed. ( I AM SURE I WILL CAVE BUT POSITIVE THOUGHTS FOR NOW)

    I will let you know how I go.

    Hi!

    Well...I could hardly walk last night by the time we unpacked a few more bits and pieces...seems to be ok this morning though...having a day off housework now although I have to get it all done by Sat...
    Boys slept in until 8.40am this morning and that was after going to bed at just after 7pm last night - woohoo!
    Off to do some shopping today - got to get wrapping paper and party supplies...also want to have a look for some stuff for my hospital bag...
    I can't believe my monkey boy is going to be 3 tomorrow!!! I'll probably cry considering how sooky I am at the moment! I nearly cried watching the "Cars" movie..it's just so nice when he helps the car at the end to cross the finish line...LOL! I'm a basketcase! LOL! hehehehehe.

    Tracey - I know...I need to rest but there is still so much to do...I'm sure it will settle down soon..? I plodded along with the housework yesterday with rests inbetween but it's just the bending motions that end up making it hurt I think...
    How did you got last night with Liam?

    Rach - I'm sure it will be fine for your mum to take Milo! LOL at her not realising she has to get in the water...she might get away with it - like Nikki does just with some shorts on...

    Hope you're all well!

    It can't get worse than what I'll look like in bathers at the moment! LOL! Big saggy boobs, gigantic tummy, varicose veins, wobbly jelly legs and that reminds me....I better shave my legs before Monday! LOL!

    well Liam did sleep thru the night last night WOOHOO. I woke him at 11pm and fed him and then we didnt see him till 8am this morning. I was so pleased. Lets hope I can continue on this path with him as I feel really good for the full sleep.

    Rach I am sure it would be fine for your mum to take Milo. Jamie is prob going to take the boys as I am meant to be working also. I am trying to get the day off but not sure if I can at the moment. I think there would be enough people in the pool if your mum doesnt want to get in. Its the toddler pool so she would be able to walk in it, no need for bathers I dont think

    Krisite glad to see the boys had a good sleep for you. I am sure you will look lovely in bathers. I know I thought I was pretty hot in my kinies when 30something weeks preg. LOL. I am going to try make it to Louis party after work, I will see how I go and when I finish.

    In regards to bdays. Are we doing KK again this year for the 19th? I just wanted to check so I could start looking for something.
    Have a great day everyone

    Hi!

    Rachael - Fantastic news!

    Alex - Welcome back - So glad you had a great time!

    Cindy - Happy Birthday Tori!!! I hope she has a wonderful day!

    Louis was super excited this morning to find 2 little presents by his door and one in the lounge room - just some "cars" cars but it reminded him it's his birthday! Dylan gave him ice age 1 and 2 so they've been busy watching those this morning! He'll open the rest of his pressies when Michael gets home...
    Otherwise not a very exciting day...we have to go food shopping and get all the party food!
    Louis' dinner choice for the night is pasta and chippies! LOL! Whatever tickles his fancy! hehehe.

    K..chat later!

    On the pool topic- i dont beiev we have to get in with them, there is staff doing that, we just need to watch out just incase.....

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LOUIS! Tori was feral this morning which made me feel not so bad about dropping her at c/care - they have a mini zoo coming to c/care today so she will have a great day and i made her a pink cak ewith pink icing last night to take today and she got her presents yesterday so she would be able toplay with them!

    Its very sad they are 3 already!

    Kristie - you are a HUGE WORRY - I cant believe you are crying at the cars movie!! We need to get this baby out before your an absolute nut case!!! hehehe

    OK, meant to be working but successfully avoiding it so far!
