Number 1 Nessa...

Thats good about your friend! Hope everything is up hill from now on for her.

Im bored..

ps.. does anyone else think that Neighbours ad where Mary wants Sky's baby and they say "Be very careful skkkyyy" is GAY! OMG its so stupid!

[lilima]

I am a bit of a closet Neighbours watcher, so I saw the ad. It is a stupid storyline, but then again, it is Neighbours!

[shellbell3]

I love Neighbours, up there as one of my top fav shows, but I still do make fun of it. My sister and I always point things out that are wrong.

Just been to mum's group, had a nice time, the Il's are gonna come over soon, they've just got back from Tassie. Ash is having a quick nap cause she's awake for hours. Mum's group is on at her nap time so she always misses it every Tues, there no way she will sleep there while all the excitement is going on.

[ShootingStar]

Oh i know.. and how Mary locked up Pepper.. like cmon, in real life you'd just knock Mary out! Its not like shes some beefcake whos gonna bash you up or anything.. she didnt even have a gun! And the whole "Mary had a little lamb" in the ads.. like Mary isnt even scarey!!!!!! oow that rhymes. Stupid old bat!

[Tyige]

I used to watch neighbours til it got weird. Home and Away fan here.
Is anyone planning anything for Origin tomorrow night? We always do a bbq thing with DP's work mates every game is at someone else's house. Well We're the lucky people for the first game.
How's everyone doing today? Gave Tyler some b'day cake today and Paige was sitting under him collecting crumbs, it got very messy. I got some good photos but.
Gotta sort out chubba get her ready for bed.

I dont watch neighbours anymore but didn't mary kidnapped the baby when Sky had her not sure

well he had a nap from 3.40pm to 5.20pm has been good as gold all day, when we woke him he woke up all smiles so that is a good thing I guess but I feel sick today, jase got called out at 3.30am this monring home around 8.25am sat up chatting most of the day finally convinced him to go to bed at 4pm as he might be called out tonite, well he is still asleep and I have the most shocking headache I want to *puke*

anyway am hoping the boy does go down early as I think these late nights and no rest during the day might be doing it to me

sorry I have been a bit me orientated the last few days but.............oh well we are allowed to be a bit like that on occasion hey

chat later gators

[Rach75]

oh and kelly for dr pepper

[lilima]

Rach - I hope bub goes down soon for you. No chance of a relative help out? There is nothing worse than having to care for a bub when you feel rotten. That what scares me so much about getting pregnant again. I had such bad morning sickness for the first 19 weeks. I dont know how I would be able to care for James at the same time.

Meg - Im suffering from 24 hour morning sickness to the point where if Im upright Im going to vomit. I have an 8mth old just like you and although its so hard, esp when I cant tell him to give Mummy a second and play with his toys, you cope. To make matter a bit more difficult, he doesnt sleep through either. I managed to last until he went down for his morning nap today and slept from 9:30am-11:30am. A nap made me feel 100x better so thats my plan from now on, that and getting some medication from my OBGYN to take the edge off so a) I can eat and b) I can manage to be a half-functioning Mama.

[Rach75]

nope no reli's any closer than 200kms Meg, I took some panandol and it seems to have helped going to take some more soon as is starting to niggle a bit, Jack fell asleep so I thought I'll put him to bed then realised he had a snuggler nappy on, he uses them during day and huggies at night, and then I though pooooey yep he was poopey so changed him which woke him, so i gave him bottle and he is now playing on floor *sigh*

Meg I too am scared of being pg again, because of m/s I was puking up till 24 weeks had 4 weeks of good times and then the early labours started *sigh* so hoping next time is easier I spent 21 day from 28 weeks to 37 weeks at home the rest was either in hopsital or stuck in brisbane at ronald mcdonald house, or on bed rest at mums

OMG my boy just pulled himself to near standing on his fold out couch and then onto his toy bin *go JACK*

[Anna**]

AnnaT - Hope the m/s eases soon. You sound like you got it bad. Yuckko.

Nessa - Happy Birthday to your DH for tomorrow. I hope you manage to patch the cake, most breaks can be fixed and hidden! He shares his birthday with my little sis... I made a cake too, have uploaded a piccy to my homepage (in the Cakes area) if you wanted a look see.

[Boo Boo]

HI Mums & Bubbas

me again, wow it has been all go...

Jodi - hope you are feeling better, I felt faint quite a few times when I was pregnant but just made sure I was eating all the time (healthy snacks) to keep my blood sugar levels up...

Kell - hugs to you and your family - what a difficult time it must be for you all.

Sorry I can't remember what anyone else said....

I didn't end up going to the mums & bubs group today as DH needed the car so I have been in all day - I have cabin fever now. Also, trying to finish off an assignment for uni - I am studying part-time by correspondence - all fun and games.

Not much else, other than the usual.

Lots of sleepy vibes to all the bubs.
Laurinx

[caddie]

Uni assignments laurin? Thats dedication.What r you learning?
Annat hope the dr can give you soemthing.Try blackmores natural travel calm for now until you see him?
Maz and jodi? How you both fairing.
Rach,i hope jack sleeps better soon.Its tiring isnt it.Millana had her first sleep with out the gaga's lastnight.Fell asleep ok but woke in the night wanting it.I had to remind her she broke it and give her a drink of milk.The next thing to tackle is bottles.she has 2 in a 24hr period and toilet training at other places except our own.She is scared of the toilet.
No standing or sitting for ruby.She will sit without suport for about 30secs and falls over.She still rolls and commando crawls.Great at eating chopped up food though and if she finds anything small on the floor will place it in her mouth.So far ive saved her from foil stickers,a small mermaid comb,a wheel,a plastic lackey.Quite scary! Millana never placed stuff in her mouth but i suppose a 2yr old doesnt help!!

Morning all..

Well another bizarre dream from this side of the country. I had a dream i woke up and all these bugs were plying around in space ships in my room!!!!! The daddy long legs, beetles everything! in these tiny space ships. And i was stamping on them each time they landed on the ground. Like OMG where are these dreams coming from!!!
We attemped to DTD last night with a rubber and omg how terrible after the real thing!!! And um, i think they were too small for DH, theyre only the regular ones, but yeh just too small. So we ended up DTD without it. If things go the way they did last month, then im due to ovulate in 5 days.. which in my book, if you want a girl thats where you stop the first month. I think from last month the whole "shock" of perhaps being pregnant again has settled me alot so if it is that i am, with hopefully a girl, then thats the way things are meant to be. But still not TTC if im not.

Ness.. oh noooo! What type of cake are you making? I made my cinnamon swirl cake last night... omg its soooo gooooood!!! I feel like having some for breakfast!!

Rach.. ohh was that Mary who kidnapped sky's baby? Wasnt it Dylan? When stingray took it from the hospital and Dylan saw him and took off with her? Hmm cant remember. Go Jack pulling himself up!!!! Jesse's started to do it on the lounge on his knees and has fallen back 3 times now and bonked his head! Silly boof.

AnnaT.. hope the morning sickness eases at the second tri mark for you.. and i hope Jett is a good boy for mummy.

Laurin.. thankyou.. it is hard, just trying to keep positive, as much as you can.

Ok.. meeting a friend from school today so gonna start to get ready.. yesterday while i was feeding Mr Man his breaky he decided to wipe it all in his hair!! So i was on a mad rush to then bath him and get going..

Have a nice day all!!

[Rach75]

Kelly I I thought I remembered fromt he ads it was her, I could be completely wrong

well WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!! he went down at9.40pm he was rubbing his eyes so we said good night popped him in bed we could here him chatting and playing with his aquariium but by 10pm he was out to it completely WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so I woke him at 8.35am this morning until he is constantly going down at a resonable time I will continue to wake him I hope this works

well I dont know what was wrong with me last night, but man my tummy was a mass of spasms my head was spinning and I ached all over feel a little better this morning but TMI!!!! heaps gassy

Kelly your dreams are crackign me up, I had Jase in stiches the other day with mine, so strange LOL

[Anna**]

Nessa - Yep, the cake is a slice of cake, it stands about 15cm high x 25cm long. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. The inside is a layer of white mud and a layer of chocolate. Everything on it is made of RTR icing.

[shellbell3]

I'm so p!ssed off, lost my whole post, I hate my internet, it always freezes up, we are going to go elsewhere.

Now gotta remember the whole thing,
firstly was about IL's, they came over last night and now we are not on speaking terms. Been coming on for awhile. Ages ago they offered to help us out finacially when we buy a house, we didn't realise it came with conditions such as them deciding where and what we buy and that they can put us down, mainly Matt whenever they feel like it. They said alot of not nice things to him last night and he is really hurt by it, he's always felt like he has been a dissapointment in there eyes. Anyways its long story and I might have to write bout it in the venting area.

secondly anyone have any suggestions on what kind of car is good to look at for a second hand car? i don't want to spend more than $4,000. Both Matt and I have no idea on cars so we don't know whats good and whats not.

AnnaT- Hope the m/s settles, i remember all those joys of pregnancy.

Laurin- how is things going sleep wise with Rylee? When are you going to the sleep school?

Ellie- We are just gonna watch the origin at home, just Matt and me.

okay, I can't remember the other personals, will think while I'm trying to put Ash down for a sleep. This post better go thru!
