Anna** · April 3rd, 2007, 08:46 AM

LOL Caddie... you'll fall over when you see how huge the boofer is now, especially considering how tiny he was when he was first born (you saw him when he was 3 days old)

**shellbell3** · April 3rd, 2007, 08:48 AM

Morning all,
Just on to say goodbye and talk to you all when I get back from Sydney on Fri pm.
I was awake early this morning cause I am so excited, I'm like a little kid!
Ashleigh better behave the last 5 nights for some unknown reason she wakes and takes an hour to resettle, she doesn't do it at all her feeds, just one. Its not so bad if its like 10:30 but when she does it at 1-2am I don't have much patience! I have no idea if there is an actual problem of if its a behavioural thing. I tell you I just can't win on the sleep, if its not her day sleeps then she'll play up at night!
I've bought Ash some Heinz food to take with us so we will find out if she enjoys it more or less than her mummys home cooked food.
See-ya's all! I'll miss you! (Having withdrawls already). Lol.

**maz** · April 3rd, 2007, 08:58 AM

Rach - Oh you poor thing with sinus...Mine was so bad that my toungue swelled and the side of my face. It gives me the willies! I hop eyou get better soon xx
Caddie - Ive started making taggy balls with a few huge buttons on either side. I mkae them crinkly. Will email you a pic soon. How is miss Ruby and Millana today? Did they let mummy sleep? How are your parents going on their adventure?
Anna - how are ya honey? Hows the goregous little man Xander? Jed saw his pic yesterday and even he said Xander makes him clucky for a nother boy...ah
Shell - you go and have a $hit hot time in Sydney matie.
Vy woke up at 2am this morning and went straight back to sleep after a bottle and now she's a moodi cow! taking the kids to a play centre today and then going to string them behind the car on the way home, their fighting cause of school holidays (I so hear you Chrissy)...You girls have all this to look forward to fighting, being $hitty at you (the kids that is) being BORED....ahh but we love them
Elephant is calling
HI Ya BElle.....come back soon
xxmaz

**Rach75** · April 3rd, 2007, 09:03 AM

you girls are so kind but I said it wasn't my sinus's but a cold, I would much prefer it was my sinus then I could take something to ease it up

well Jack slept till 8.35am silly me was up at 7am :sigh: oh well

anyway off to lay on couch again

**Visitor7** · April 3rd, 2007, 09:20 AM

Morning all, I've been slack and haven't posted for ages. Been so busy lately. Ended up having to work 3 days last week cause the receptionist is pg and had severe vomiting and diareah (sp?) and ended up in hospital. So by the weekend I was absolutely knackered!
Nina has been really good lately, slept 14 hours last night, but just like Vy she's a moody cow too this morning. I've plonked her in front of the tv now. She must be happy cause I can't hear anything. She missed out on seeing daddy this morning so that's probably why she's cranky with me. She does this every morning when he goes to work, gets cranky with me for about an hour, then she's all good.
She's still not crawling, but very active and mobile. Her personality is really showing these days and she's a very socialable baby. Loves attention! Takes after her daddy there. As soon as someone looks at her and smiles, she throws herself at them!
What are everyone's plans for easter? We're not doing much at all. We'd normally go to Townsville, but our friends there had a baby only 2 weeks ago, so not really a good time to go yet. We'll probably just work on the garden and stuff around the house.
Nina starts swimming lessons on the 16th April!! I’m so excited. I’ve bought her some new swimmers (any excuse to go shopping) and mum has bought me a straw bag, which is perfect for swimming.
I’ve got to get some easter eggs today, cause last year I left it till the last minute and there was nothing left, and heath will only eat the Red Tulip Elegant Rabbit (fuss pot he is!)

caddie - that's great that the girls slept well last night, hopefully you got some decent sleep too.

Rach – hope you get better soon, and are feeling up to the last day of swimming tomorrow. How’s Jack been with the swimming? Did he enjoy it?

shell - you reckon it might be the teeth? Who knows? Like you said, it's either one or the other. Have fun on your holiday and hopefully miss ash will be a little princess for you.

anna** - how are you and Xander going, is he getting better?

maz / chrissy - I'm so not looking forward to having a house full of kids, especially when they’re on school holidays annoying me. I envy you girls who even have the time for it all. I'm flat out finding enough time for me these days, and I only have one baby!!

chrissy - congrats on the weight loss! You're doing so well, I wish I was motivated to lose some weight.

annat - YAY I finally have someone coming up my way, even if it is in 2010! Townsville is only a 4 hour drive from here and we're always going there.

Hi to everyone else I haven’t mentioned, I’ll be MIA until Friday now. Shopping today and working Tues & Wed. Hope everyone is good.

**rikki** · April 3rd, 2007, 09:49 AM

hi girls,
just popping in to say hi. DH still here, but he leaves tmw morning. Looking forward to catching up with the other perth girls.

xx

PS Ainsleigh now has four teeth! The top two have broken through which would explain why she is waking up to be resettled (very unlike her)

**Rach75** · April 3rd, 2007, 11:26 AM

Rach – hope you get better soon, and are feeling up to the last day of swimming tomorrow. How’s Jack been with the swimming? Did he enjoy it?

thanks Jodi, Jack absolutly adores swimming the pool in bilo reopens in July and is heated so am going to try and endevour tog et over there once a fortnight if its not to cold

Rach- rest up honey!! hope the cold eases soon, DH is home with one as well but apparently he is dying IYKWIM

trying hard to rest up but a certain little boy is wide awake and noisy

I know how your hubby feels I feel like I am dying, it took all my energy to hang ou the last of jacks washing, my eyes were burning int he sun

ok gone again to lay on floor at least will keep Jack happy so hard not to breath on a baby, he keeps pulling my face down to hios when I am feeding

**Nelle** · April 3rd, 2007, 11:52 AM

Hello! I'm in somewhat of a hurry, mum's saving my butt (as usual) by going shopping for milk for me, but my house is a MESS!! Anna mate, trust me they won't say how clean my house is, they have freaking display homes! No joke.
And we have beautifully stained rental carpet

I'm seriously considering just hiding the dishes in the laundry!!

Better dash, get better soon Rach, hope you got some sleep Caddie, hope you have fun in Sydney Shell, hope everyone with older kids is coping with todderhood and school holdiays, hope everyone's having fun, now I am OFF to find out where I can hide all my crap. Ciao! xo

**Visitor7** · April 3rd, 2007, 11:59 AM
