Babies Born October-November 2005 #24

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.
Chantelle is so excited that the easter bunny is coming soon,i love that i have a weapon against them to be good,hehehe!
Racheal which circus is coming to werribee,i want to take my kids to one with animals in it.

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?

Alex was great to see you and hope the house didnt take too long to clean. Jordan loved coming over to Jack and Toby's house. He told my parents all about it today.

So cant be bothered working tomorrow wish i didnt have to work maybe i should start buying a tatts ticket in the hope I may win.
night everyone

Rach hope the little fella decides to make his exit soon, you are looking fabulous.

Tracey - definately buy tatts tickets! One of my friends on the coast has just won for a 2nd time! first time was about 5 years ago and they won $110k - the second was a few months ago and it was........ $7.6 million! I couldnt believe it when i saw her last weekend! Juat goes to show- people do actually win and you gotta be in it to win
