Oh lordy, what a night. Could not get to sleep once I got off the puter, Rick kept snoring like an old freight train. I ended up opening up the fold out lounge and sleep on that. Was just falling asleep when bails woke up crying...that happened twice more too. Bails woke me up at 8.40am this morning - that time I didn't mind.
Feel like crap now coz I am ssssoooo tired. Planned to crash after lunch with Bailey but MIL and two nieces turned up, Bails only slept for 40 minutes. Boy oh boy I hope he goes down early tonight.
Happy 11 Month Birthday Jessie.
Hope everyone else is having a nice day, gorgeous weather here! Sorry for no personals, too tired, brain mush.

Cake looks fabbo Anna. Im jealous, I have zero cooking ability. As for the tax money, all up we got back $1750, thats with Centrelink payments as well. Not too bad, just sucky it isnt play money you know?
I went to pay my OBGYN fee today and got told they only do it on appointment days so now I have to wait til the 24th. I will be putting it in our savings account so neither of us get tempted to spend it and when I get part of it back its going off our CC so we can be debt free (well except for the car ofcourse). I still want my dishwasher so I think we'll be harrassing Good Guys and Harvey Norman this weekend So I spent this arvo paying some $$ off the chrissy layby's and layby-ing some maternity tops for summer while theyre on special at BigW (for those preggo's out there). I so wanted to buy baby clothes but Im determined to wait til my u/s before I go mad.
Now I have to think about getting dinner organised - tonight we're having grilled Lemon & Dill Basa fish fillets, scalloped potato bake and vegies. Can you tell Im trying really hard to be healthy?
HAPPY 11MTHS J-MAN!
Chrissy you just have to type in password 'Xander'.
ETA - OMG Im 17 weeks and 1 day pregnant today. Where is the time going???????

Now I forgotten everything that was written in the last thread.
Anna - The cake looks awesome.
Happy 11 months Jesse
We are 65 now girls. Retirement age!!!
Had my specialist appointment. Didnt end up having the fine needle aspiration today as something was wrong with the ultrasound machine. I have to have it on Thursday now.
The specialist was really nice, and he said that regardless I will probably need the goitre removed. So more waiting......
anna - that cake is a beauty!! Are you sure you don't want to come over here for a holiday, at the same time as Nina's b'day and make her cake too
annat - awesome about the tax refund. Pity it's not play money though. We should be getting our estimate back next week, it's probably in the mail ATM.
have fun in Sydney annie!!
I gotta run, we're going out to dinner tonight and our babysitter is here now. bbl.
Kell- i hear you on that, the bubs in my group are of similar ages but cause Ash was first to get crawling I was always chasing her everywhere and had to stop her pulling books of shelves, pulling on cords etc and then it makes it hard to just relax and enjoy yourself.
Jodi- Enjoy dinner! Sounds good having night out child free, we need more of those.
*Annie*- Enjoy your trip.
Meg- That sucks bout the test, it seems to be the thing in here that machines break down when ppl have tests.
AnnaT- Sounds like a good refund back, get that dishwasher, I so can't wait to move just so I can have one. I was just in Big W today the clothes there are cheap so I like it.
Vixstar- oh god I hate snoring, really bugs me, I knock Df and if he keeps going i end up yelling at him. Hopefully you'll get better night sleep tonight.
Well I had nice day shopping, got 2 tops, 2 pants and some shoes that are silver glitter, I think they're so kool, too bad they aren't red i could be like Dorothy!
Had mums day today and was good. Nothing against my mums, but it can be hard for poor Jess sometimes when we go to the other's houses. He's the oldest in the group. The others are all around 6 months so not moving around as yet therefore they havent baby proofed yet, and Jesse gets into everything. Then gets upset when i have to pull him away from everything every time he touches something or when i pick him up and just hold him he wants to get down. Poor bub. Its not their fault i know, just not fun for him sometimes. Though i guess in a few months it will all change.
Meg.. oh how annoying.. well will be praying for you come Thursday.
Annie.. hope you have a great holiday! Let me know if you wanna meet up.. if youre too busy thats totally fine.. hope you have fun anyways!
Hi everyone.Back early from holidays as ruby sick.She has a mouth full of pussy ulcers. I had to drive 50km to nearest hospital i was so worried.I then was passed onto the local dr and he said she has picked up the cold sore virus from someone and because its her first time it was really bad? Millana had something similar at the start of the week but not as bad.I just thought she had bitten her gums a few times.I have never seen anything so horrible.Her lips were swollen too.They seem a little better today as she has had a couple of bottles but refused food and fluid last couple of days.I managed water from the lid of the bottle. I hope the dr has given right diagnosis.Sleepless nights for me lately.
Meg,thinking of you/I kinda know what you going through.I fine out next friday.Imight ring earlier as i want to know.I also have a dexa scan on tues for my bone denasity.
Got to let hubby on pc for a bit.Catch up soon.
Caddie - we must have posted at the same time!
Sorry that the girls have the cold sore virus. I am a long time sufferer of cold sores and they are not pleasant. I can remember the first time I got them, and it was exactly as you described.
I am thinking of you for your tests also. Not fun hey???!!!
Haha.. yes WE have 1 extreme site!
Yeh i think is stupid making it so hard too.. those sites annoy me bad.
