Well if everyone is putting orders in for when Kell should have her bub my pick is 9 days over so it can be on my birthday! (3rd Aug). Altho the 24th is a very popular date I know 3 people on that date.

Rach- Partying on a tues night?! I would've called the police or at least asked them to quiet down. Enjoy seeing your neice, how exciting.

Maz- When I first read your sentence bout pg excitement I first thought it said poo excitement! pmsl. Send some of your baking over my way! Oh and are you still getting the numbness?

AnnaT- Keep all your bits crossed! Cheeky Ripley. Have fun at coffee club.


Laurin- Hi, great to see you made it over. Hope everything is going ok with you and Dh.

Nelle- Yum, that slice sounds so simple and yummy. What you mean you're lost?

Annie- I love weddings, just never get to go cause most my friends are all in de-facto relationships (like myself) and we never get round to it!

Gotta go dentist today bout that wisdom tooth of mine, its hasn't given me any trouble or pain or anything, just half there. better get it checked tho, make sure no infections arrive.

[Rach75]

thanks maz top that with having to wake him at 7am to drop jase off

we have swimming at 10.30am then chn at 12pm so he wont get a morning nap but hopefully he will sleep on the drive to bilo then up to rocky...

olivia is doing well they brought her into nic for feeds so thats a good sign

ETA: no point calling police shell as call goes thru to gladstone so they will only ring local blokes for emergency etc

[lilima]

Just popping in to say good morning.
Off to playgroup, so I will be back later on.

[maz]

OH SHell - owie the DENTIST!!!!!! *Maz running for the hills* still getting the numbness and have a killer headache this morning...only 6.6 weeks to go

Hi girls

Having a bad day, Julia woke up last night and early this morning crying in pain from her cold plus her molars coming through so today has been hell so far, went Xmas shopping this morning for the 25% country road sale, now back home exausted and anxious dealing with Julia crying. Thankfully she has just dropped off to sleep fingers crossed she sleeps for a while. Shes off her food and milk... I dont know what to do...what do you do when they dont eat or drink?

Kell - Congratulations!

ETA - MAZ - booked our accommodation yeah!!! did you get my email! cant wait to meet ya this weekend! Hope your bubba gives me goodluck

[maz]

OMG Belle - 5 more sleeps!!! woo hoo and your on day 30....OMG OMG OMG us girls in here are popping them out like rabbits PMSL
I just went and bought my BB KK pressy..I hope the person likes it.
BBL have to have a coffee fix

[**Helen**]

Congrats Kell, I was actually getting suspicous with all of your food talk.

Belle-Hope you are all well, enjoy your trip. Baby dust.

Ummm I hope that you are all well.

Maz and AnnaT-take care ladies, those bubbas need to stay put for a mth longer.

Love

[shellbell3]

Dentist was fine, she said I can wait to have that wisdom tooth out (I'm booked in Jan to have it done under GA). She said if its not bothering not to worry. So thats good, only poor Ash got really upset when they cleaned my teeth, the noise really upset her.

HelenP- I was thinking bout when you come to Melb, zoo would be too hard for me on a weekday but what about catching up for lunch or even just a coffee another day if your in the city or St Kilda or somewhere easy to get to?

Belle- I always stress when Ash is off her food but just tell myself she won't starve or anything, I just offer small things thruout the day and see how she goes.

Ness- Your poor aunt, I hope they sort out diagnosis soon so they can get her on the right treatment. Must be scary for her not knowing what is happening. Why did it take them so long to work out it wasn't a stroke, didn't they do CT scan or anything when it happened?

Loving the rain today after all that hot weather.

[Freya]

Im going to use sposies for the first 2-4wks or until the packet runs out and then switch to cloth. By then hopefully my baby bonus will be in my bank acc and I can buy some of those magicalls! I definately need to increase my stockpile to cover two kids - Im just going to buy one size's to avoid Ry using the wrong ones for each kid lol

Ive been feeling weird the last couple of days but today esp. Im swollen a bit and having period cramps with pressure (also pooping like a champ). I dont want to go to the hospy when I have an appointment on Friday but Im a bit worried. Also had some spotting. Man I cant wait for this to be over, Im so not ready for him to come yet - I want to atleast get to 35wks or when Ry goes on holidays (Dec 14th).
