All good here - Boys are well...We're off to the playschool concert in the morning which will be heaps of fun, also have Ethans 4m checkup so will be interested to see how he's growing! I think he's huge! LOL!
K...chat later!
Hey Kristie, if you get this in time, could you possible bring me a TL catalogue? I have a vague recollection of getting one in the mail, but I cant find it :( and there are some thigns I want to get for Milo.
Hi Rachael!
I can bring one an old one for you or the new one for a browse - I only have one copy! The rest are coming in the mail next week.
I'm having a New Catalogue launch on the 4th April though...There's heaps of great new books - I want them all! LOL!
Best get ready for the party! I only just got home - had play school concert, lunch at maccas and a trip to the beach - boys are asleep and Ethans majorly overtired!
See you all later!
HI guys
well we had a great weekend up at albury for the cystlers on the murray. Jamies dad and brother resotred an old valient and took it up the car show. It was awesome. The boys were so well behaved and Jordan LOVED all the cars. I slip slop slapped the boys but forgot about Jamie and I so we are BURNT so bad. OOPS
Took today off work as had a long weekend but working tomorrow instead.
Hope you had a nice night friday and you can fill me in on the goss.
Take care

Hi!
Tracey - So glad you had a good weekend! Bugger about getting burnt!
Friday was great! I so enjoyed catching up with you guys!!
Rachael - You look so fantastic!! I hope your well!
Nikki & Alex - I'll be in touch about your book look - Also, Nikki I have to give you a call because you can get some extra cheap book in our Mar/Apr promo's from the order you gave me! Let me know when is a good time??
Cindy - Thanks for having me! It was so great to chat - I got a call from Michael on the way home and Ethan was up looking for a feed - whoops! Hope Al recovered from watching all the kids! LOL!
So had my school reunion on Sat night which went soooo well! I had over 60 people show up and everyone had a ball - it was so great to see everyone! I was so glad it went well and everyone was so grateful that I'd organised it which was nice!!
I drove home and took a wrong turn on eastlink so got home just after 1am and Michael had been up with Ethan - again - whoops! He wasn't crying - just watching tv with Michael waiting for me to get home - I fed him and it took me until 3am to get him to sleep so I was soo tired yesterday! (and I'd promised Michael a sleep in which he had until 1pm!!!)
Umm...not much else happening really...had a shocker of a day with Ethan today though...barely got anything done except mopping my kitchen! Woohoo! the rest of the house is a pigsty though! LOL! Cooked a yummy roast for dinner which was nice...
Ok..I'm just rambling now - I should get to bed really..
Hope you're all well!
Wow its quiet in here!
I have just got home from a massive day!
I should have said this earlier but thank you for coming last friday!
It was great to see the psycho children have as much fun catchin up as we did! Although I believe we were a little less loud about it!
Nicole said to me yesterday when i saw her that she thought it was a great night and cant beieve how close we all seem since we met online!
OK, i have to go to bed!
Oh, i was going to say too, for those of you who may not be doing anything inparticular for easter sunday - that is actually chars b'day and we are having a little party for her here if you are up for it, not time particulary, just whenever suits! Will mainly just be family but nicky and tribe are coming!
Hi Guys
well all is well here. Liam is into everything as usual and had little accident today at MILs. He was holding onto the oven door and it opened on him and he felt back and hit head on tiles OOPS he has bump on his head. Had a few other falls aswell.
Jordan refused to wear undies today so went commando LOL He is so cute
Nothing much else but having a tupperware party this sunday, Lovely CIndy is hosting. If anyone wants to come along its at 2pm. I did post you all on facebook but not sure if you get on that regularly.
Chat soon
Hi!
I'm so excited! I just sorted out my wardrobe and threw nearly everything out -LOL! Well, thats not the exciting bit but I fit into all my pre p/g clothes!! Woohoo! Another kg to lose and technically I can go shopping! I'll wait until I stop feeding though later in the year...I also put a pile of my pants together and I'm going to Beans next week and she's going to take them up for me so hopefully not more daggy pants dragging along the ground - LOL!
Ethan had his immunisations today and did really well! We had playgroup this morning and the boys had heaps of fun! There's one little rough nut in the group though so I'll have to keep an eye on him - he had a punch on with one little boy today and pushed Louis ...his mums a bit useless with any discipline as well..oh well!
Wow - Charlottes going to be 2! How exciting! I'm not sure if we'll be around on the Sunday...not sure what we're doing for Easter yet...
Tracey - Poor Liam having a fall! LOL at Jordan going commando! Not sure if I'll make it on Sunday - we're getting ready for Michael's b'day party next week and the house is atrocious and so is outside. Michaels working Saturday so we really only have Sun to do it all...
Not sure what you think Cindy but maybe you could link the party I'm having onto Tracey's??
ok...chat later!
I would love to come Tracey but have something on the other side of town :(
Kristie thats hard..given Milo is normally the rough one, I cant believe the mum didnt do anything at all? I get soo embarrassed when Milo does stuff like that!
Kristie - good thinking 99! I was thinking that today and i will give you a call tomorrow about dates coz i think i have worked out when the special week is.
THats no good having a mum thats not on to it.
I know one of my first questions when i started at our playgroup was about dicipline. I wanted to know if everyone was ok with others telling their kids off and it was great coz we haev this rule that whoever sees the incident happen is the one to dicipline and it works so well!
I have a big day ahead of me tomorrow with loads of stuff to do after school! I cant wait till i am not working at the surgery so i dont have to squash my life in around everything else.
Oh, Kristie - with baby sitting - we have our anniversary coming up and if it works for you we were thinking of going out for lunch on Sunday the 5th to celebrate it. we actually havent done anything for it for the past 3 years! If you cant though thats no stress coz carly probably can as she will be on school holidays then.
Why am I still awake???????
Rachael - She told him off but very half heartedly - it had no effect at all...
Cindy - Love the discipline chat with the mums - good idea! Oh bugger - I have my niece's b'day on that day - I can do night time though if you want to go out for dinner!
ok...must go to sleep...
Huge weekend Im so exhausted. I got some maternity photos done on Saturday, here are some pics if you want to have a look :)
Hi!
I LOVE the photo's Rachael - Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing them!!!
Tracey/Cindy - Hope the tupperware party went well!
Nikki/Alex - I'll get the TL stuff organised this week!
As for us we had a fantastic weekend - a really quiet one at home but it was just sooo nice! I managed to get all my washing organised (I know it doesn't sound much but I've done about 8 loads this weekend! LOL!) and the house looking a lot better than it was thats for sure!
We took the kids to the beach this morning but it was so windy we couldn't really enjoy it - lucky it's not far away!!
We've worked out a plan for our backyard which we're excited about and we're also thinking of putting up a fence but now just need lots of $$$! We'll just have to get it done bit by bit I think! We managed to get all 3 boys asleep yesterday - again! and so Michael and I enjoyed a relax outside and we're actually able to talk and have some time together on our own - it was sooo needed!
Boys are well...
Hope you all enjoyed your weekends!
great pics Rach!!!!
Hi!
Hope you're all well! We've been super busy this week with a day out yesterday to visit mothers group (Louis hasn't stopped talking about seeing his special friends) and today swimming and the library...I'm so buggered! Ethans been playing up a bit at night again too so should be in bed asleep already but I'm not..LOL!
Chat later!
HElllloooooooo
WHats everyone up to this weekend?
I have had a mad week of study and work and tupperware and have managed to organise my sister to have the girls for the day tomorrow so i can get my stupid assignment done!
Yay!
Tracey - how are you handling getting your studying done?
Oh i got one of me exam results - occupational health and safety -I got a Distinction! Not unhappy with that!
I hope you are all good!
Kristie - love the new av
Cindy congrats on your results
Not much planned for the weekend! at last. I might go to spotlight and get some fabric to make some cloth wipes for the baby. but I dont *have* to be anywhere which feels really good!
Awesome results on your test CIndy, I know now where to get all the answers from. I am fitting in the study at night when boys in bed and jamie on lap top. I pick a book up most night, except sundays, that MY day.
Rach I loved your photos you look amazing.
Hey thanks, I was surprised at the photos, I normally hate any photos of me.
Starting to get a bit tired now, will be 35 weeks on Sunday, and it seems like this baby just gets more active by the day. Am going to see a physio on Tuesday cos Im getting a lot more pelvic pain (ouch!) not sure whether there is anything more they can do though...although finishing up work a bit earlier might be good - its only an option if I get a doctors cert. saying that I need to.
Alex Im not going to be able to make it to your book look at this stage, as I will still be working :(
Kristie, I may pop in to yours, it all depends how I am going with driving, lately I can seem to drive mor than about 30 mins without feeling like Im going to fall asleep.
Milo's sleeping is driving me mental. He goes to sleep fine now, but gets up 1-2, sometimes 3 times a night anc comes running in to our room wanting to get in to bed with us. Most of the time Im the one who has to roll out of bed and try to sort it out, although neil has been a lot more helpful with it the past week or so (since I started kicking and poking to make him wake up and get out of bed! lol)
Last week whales and sharks were coming in to his room. This week he is afraid of the dark and must have all lights turned on or wont go back to sleep :(
Rach i hear you on the dark thing. Jordan is now sleeping with his fish tank light on as he is scared of the dark. If I turn it off when we go to bed and he wakes in the early hours he cries that he cant see in the dark and i need to run in and turn in back on. He does go back to sleep most times though. Not sure how this all started but hope he grows out of it soon, I am sure they will.
SCHOOL HOLIDAYS NOW YEAH!
Hi!!
Hmmm, I'm sure I posted a few days ago - nothing there though...Actually I know I did!! What a bugger - I hate it when that happens!
Omg...I just went to esprit and spent up a storm...whoops!! They gave me a 30% discount though! I saved about $250!! (you can work it out...LOL!) It was so needed though - I didn't have any nice winter clothes and now I do! Probably just as well you didn't make it Cindy! hehe.
Boys are well...Ethan's been a horror the last couple of days - he hates it when we're out and about and if he doesn't get a good morning sleep then the rest of the days thrown out really. He's so gorgeous though...
Dylans good - I can't believe how much he's learning at the moment - he's counting to 20 and reciting the alphabet and is now starting to learn some letters!
Louis is well also...I heard him say he had to get the freakin puzzle out this morning - Whoops! LOL!
We've had a pretty busy week actually so looking forward to a quiet day at home tomorrow.
I've got a big weekend coming up - the Book Look at my house Sat, friends having a sleepover Sat night - we're having a SATC dvd night!! and then my nieces 10th b'day on Sunday (and maybe babysitting for you Sun night Cindy??) MIchael's away for the weekend camping as well so it will be me & the boys!!
I'm so keen to get back into work - I had a TBS meeting tue night that got me all excited and I've got a fair bit of Book stuff coming up!
Speaking of which - Nikki, I've got your books in so I'll give them to Cindy to take with the tupperware/Body shop stuff if thats alright with you??
Anyway...after my meltdowns last week I'm happy to be feeling good about everything - I'm sure it was hormonal because I just wasn't my normal self...
Cindy- Yeah on finishing all your stuff for uni! Enjoy your holidays!
Tracey - Sounds like you've got things under control with your study - that's great! Enjoy your holidays also!
Rachael - No worries - see how you go - I completely understand!! Wow - Bubs is going to be here before you know it!! Poor Milo worrying about the dark...do you have a night light? We have a little one on the boys moniter...
Hi Nikki & Alex!!
Chat later...
hi everyone
well all is good here, boys are well and really enjoying eachother at the moment. They are playing well together even thoughJordan can get a little rough and vise versa. Its funny when Liam hurts Jordan seeing as he is so much littlier than he is.
I am working overtime on thursday but get friday and monday off so that works out well. Got some homework to d over the school holidays so getting that done over the next couple days so the last week can be homework free.
only 5 weeks till placement and Liams 1st birthday OMG how time flies
CIndy thanks for the great afternoon Jordan loved playing with the girls Jordan has told Jamie and his friend Andy all about his friends who came to visit. He just had a ball.
Both kids in bed now and its just past 8.30 which is a good effort. Jordan didnt wake up till about 5.30 hewas knackered.
Jamie is now video calling Nikki and grant they are loving it So amusing.
I will be coming to the book look wednesday cant wait to see everyone
4 and a half weeks to go or thereabouts, man I am buggered!
Im kinda hoping that this one comes slightly early, Im rally not that keen on going so far overdue this time around.
Hows everyone Easter shaping up?
We are going to the footy on Friday, Melton sth v Darley, Milo goes for the Panthers and he is so excited!
Then taking him to the circus on Saturday, just locally, and brunch at mum and dads palce on Sunday. Hopefully on Monday I can relax!
Tracey that funny about Liam hurting Jordan (well not funny, you know what I mean) one of my brothers mates was one of 6, and when the oldest was in year 12 hed come to school with balck eyes from the youngest, who wasnt at school yet, punching him up!
hi every one,
its been ages since i have written in here,i am sorry,i have been popping in every day but really havnt had much to say.
All is well here,i had a very busy start to the week with work,i had night shift sun and mon nights and arvo Tuesday which hence left me able to on;ly get 5 hours sleep between sat morn and tue night,was very draining but i got through it.I now get to spend some time with the family from yesterday till sat arvo.

nikki
Nikki - I will let you know if there are animals, Im really not sure what they have its called circus olympia..Im kinda hoping its just acrobats and clowns.
Im still cranky I cant come on Wednesday (though maybe i should be sick..hmm theres a thought..)we can all catch up once I am on leave? Any time after 17th April, Im happy for you guys to come to my place or we could go to a playcentre somewhere maybe?
ETA: Neil is going to sydney from 16-19 April, so if anyone wants to come and hang out on the friday or saturday night and veg around doing diddly you're most welcome :)
Hi!
I'm looking forward to seeing you all on Wednesday as well!! I will have the kids with me so not sure how that will go...Louis and Dylan should be fine but here's hoping Ethan's in a good mood! LOL!
Tracey - How nice that the boys are (mostly) getting along so well!
Nikki - Wow - you sound like you're working heaps! Glad your getting a break now though...
Rachael - Not long to go now at all! I think you should chuck a sicky and come play with us! It will be much more fun than work - LOL! Would love to catch up with you when you're on leave though...
Cindy - Hope you're finishing your assignment!!
Alex - Have fun on Saturday!!
As for us, not much really. I've been chilling out this week enjoing not running around. We went out and saw Arj Barker last night which was pretty good - we were both so tired though!! It didn't start until 9pm...Boys are well..Ethan was up at 5.55am this morning which I didn't appreciate at all! LOL!
Michael's now got 10 days off work so it will be so nice having him around. We can both catch up on some sleep and rest and hopefully get a bit done around the house. I'm in organising mode at the moment...I'm trying to sort out the toy room before Dylan's b'day (and all the new toys - although you'll be surprised to hear I've hardly bought him anything...I feel a bit bad but he so won't know the difference!)
Easters going to be pretty quiet for us....My brothers going in for surgery on his back on Tuesday so we might go over and see him...
We're really just going to enjoy some quiet family time without anything on I think!! It's been a while!
Bubs is awake - chat later!
HAPPY EASTER everyone
Well today was great the boys got spoilt by the easter bunny and by our friends and Family. Jordan got SO much Diego stuff he is so excited and Liam got clothes and books. Liam has been getting into the easter eggs, he is a choc freak, so funny to watch.
Nikki Jamie and I had a blast looking after Chantelle and Harry and would be happy to do it again whenever you need it. They are really no hassle and Jordan and Liam loved having them over
SO excited tomorrow is a public holiday NO WORK YEah. I dont have to go back till thursday BONUS
Take care everyone
hi everyone,
I had a great time seeing everyone on Wednesday. The kids had a ball and i just couldnt believe how lucky they are to have sooo many little friends there own age.
Kristie,you look amazing,you have lost alot of weight.your tummy is flatter than mine.hehe. Ethan is soooo little and cute,you and Micheal produce very attractive children.
Tracey i was sad i didn't get to see my teeny tiny Liam...r u coming to the circus?
Alex i love your tattoo.i am getting one now.it looks soooo good. your not going to believe it but they didn't accept 2 of the passport applications cos you wrote over your dates when you got it wrong,i am going to fill out the paper work and bring it tomorrow night so all you need to do is sign it again.bugger!
the kids are complaining cos they have to put up with my cooking.LOL!They keep asking when you r coming to cook some real food for them.HEHE...little turds.
Cindy and racheal was ashame we didn't get to see you both.
Just had a guy come around and replaced every light globe in the house inside and out and the shower heads for free with the new energy saving ones.
okay gotta go cook some poison for the family for tea and then off to work.
Love you all Nikki
Tomorrow is my last day of work, woohoo.
3ish weeks to go now, getting to the scary end where I remember what milos birth was like.
I have to drive neil to the airport tonight and hes not home again til Sunday evening. Other that a trip to watergardens to pick up my raincheck from the baby sale I have nothing on all weekend.
I hope the baby doesnt decide to put in an appearance cos he hasn't assembled the hammock or the cot yet, the change table is in the garage, my hospital bag is not packed and the nappies have only had one of the 3 washes that they need to have! lol
ah well, health wise its all about the same, my bp is still good, midwife ios saying the baby may be smaller than Milo was (I can only hope!) and if i go 5 days overdue the new birthing suites will be open and the bath :)
Rach have a great last day tomorrow. If you want to pop in on your time off I am home tuesday mornings, Jordan has kinder from 12.30. DOnt worr I am sure you will have everything organised by the time new bubs arrives.
Nikki I wont be coming to the circus, cant really afford it. It was really nice to see you all Jordan told Jamie all about playing with COrey, he loves him.
Krisite you do look awesome, must be all the running around.
Alex was nice to catchup and see the boys. Jack and Toby are so cute, did they sleep after we left?
Had a busy day at work, so glad its over. CHilling out on the lounge. Jamies dad is off to have his operation tomorrow pretty scary. I am sure he will be ok.
Hi!
Thanks so much Nikki & Alex for organising the book look! The boys had so much fun (thus the not wanting to leave!) and I was so happy to see you all! I must say upon reflection I'm glad it went as well as it did considering I had the 3 boys with me! LOL!
Nikki - Thank you for your compliments...I haven't even meant to lose the weight really - I'm sure winter (and all the choccy I'm eating) will see if getting piled back on pretty quickly - LOL!) I definitely think the bfing is doing most of the work also...
Channy was so cute with Ethan!! She's such a little mummy! and Harry was so gorgeous too - poor little thing looked so tired...
I'm sure your not a bad cook at all!!! I'm the worst at the moment - I need to get my recipes out and find something NEW - I just cook the same few things over and over again...sooo boring!!
Tracey - I missed seeing Liam also...but of course was so great to see Jordan - I can't believe how big our boys are!!
Glad to hear Jamie's dads operations went well (via facebook - LOL!)
Alex - Wow at your tattoo - your very brave I think...I don't think we'll be able to make Toby's b'day sorry...So much on for Mothers day already - Thank you for the invite though!
Rachael - Yeah at finishing work!! WOO HOO! I hope you're well and that bubs has stayed put over the weekend - I'm sure it has been nice to have a quiet weekend at home...Not long to go now at all -How exciting you'll have bubs in your arms so soon!!
Cindy - Hope you had a great weekend and got your assignment done!
As for us - we had Dylans b'day party today!! He had a ball - we had a "cars" theme party with a pinata and some of those foil helium balloons...I made a huge cake with a lightning mcqueen candle which he loved! It was such a nice day!
Boys are well...Ethans sleeping better all of a sudden as well which is nice...hope he keeps it up!
Off to visit my brother tomorrow - he had surgery on his back earlier this week and all went well but is just has to spend most of his time lying down...
Chat later!
Wow - I cant remember the last time i posted in here!
RAch - howare you feeling? Are you loveing being at home again? How much time do you have off?
Trace- hows the course treating you? We started anatomy and physiology today and i love it!
Nikki - are you all settled in the new job now? Loving it?
Kristie - tori keeps asking when she is going to see louis- must organise a catch up for them.
Alex- I will give you a call tuesday to see how you are going for numbers etc for wednesdays party and if you would like me to bring anything in particular for people to look at! I ahev the whol catalogue but of course dont carry it all with me all the time!
I have been crazy busy with life but I am going away this weekend all by myself! I cant wait! My gran isnt really all that well so i am going up to see her but at the same time staying at a friends place and managed to time it for a friends 30th and another ones engagement party so i am sensing a drunken weekend - exactly what the dr ordered I am sure!
I hope you are all well - we HAVE to organise a proper catch up soon or we will forget what we all look like! I finish up at work soon, am stopping my thursdays after next week which is very exciting and i am really happy with the person we have emplyed, she is great so i am not seeing that i will have to hang around much longer.
Hi!
Cindy - Yeah on going away!!!! Have a fantastic time!!! (Sorry to hear you gran is sick though...)
Yes - a catch up would be great - will you bring the girls at the tupperware party next Sun?
Hi to everyone! I agree with Cindy - I think we need to organise a girls night out for dinner! It was so much fun last time!! Not sure if we'll have time to do it before Rachael pops but would be great though!!
Us...busy busy...Dylan & Louis had their MCHN check ups yesterday and both were all good...umm..Ethan is well...nothing all that exciting really!!
Chat soon...
Cindy hope you are having a nice time away. A & P is really good I like it, we have had 3 classes so far, start again in 2 weeks. Cant beleive I go on placement in 2 weeks OMG!!!!!!!! Yeah on stopping work thats awesome
Krisite I LOVE the new photos of the boys on facebook, they are gorgeous. You boys are devine, I want to eat them all up.
I am having a nice night at home, we had friends over which was nice. A little tired though, think its all catching up on me I think. Need a real early night and a good sleep in. I am catching up with old school friends tomorrow, one of which is a teacher in my course LOL very weird. Think I will take Jordan with me but leave Liam as we are meeting at 10 and Liam normally sleeps then.
Jamie is counting down for this boys trip to america..... heaven help LA and Vegas, they wont know what has hit them.
Hope you are all having a nice night
Howdy.
Still here..thought something might be happening last night, was up most of the night with nausea, reflux, loo etc but nope, no contractions. ah well. Part of me wants to go over so that I can get to use the new bath and birthing suites at the hossy, they dont open til 15th May.
Going to pick up a TENS machine at the physio today, not much else on.
Catch up sounds good.
Alex what time is the party?
