Babies Born September 2007 #15

[Isadora]

We've had a full on day! Maddie and I went to a young mothers group today, just a bunch of Perth girls from facebook. The girls there were great fun! We had such a good time and i'm not meaning to offend anyone, but it was so great to get out there and speak to girls around my age with babies around Maddies age iykwim. Poor Madeline is buggered though.

Marydean - Sorry to hear about your bad shopping experience. That has happened to us many times before as well. I'm fine going out and to the shops with Maddie on my own, but I dont do food shopping anymore without DP. Just too hard.

Jazmum - Apparently they do keep track of the mls, nappies etc, but I've yet to find out where.

Cally - I havent really bought any clothes for Maddie lately, but I put away a whole stack of newborn and 000 clothing the other day. She is into 00 and very soon she will be in 0 (little chubby chops) and she doesnt have many of these two sizes, so I'm thinking I'd better go stock up while clothes are on sale!! When do the sales end, anyone know??

Does/has anyone used family day care? I'm going to have a look into it tomorrow. I pay $60 a day for childcare and apparently FDC is a tad cheaper and the children get more one on one time with the caregiver. Just worried because my dad said to me that you get what you pay for and I know he is right, but surely FDC must follow some sort of regulations like a normal centre?? If I'm going to be working 2 days a week, I want to make it worthwhile, therefore I want as much money in my pocket from it as possible.

Yay DP just called, he is about to get on the plane and come home woo hoo!!! He bought 80 cars!!!!! Extra woo hoo lol!

I have been on a few times today to read everyones posts but no time or energy to respond lol.

MD what a horrible shopping experience. I have only done groceries once when Logan was real little and he hated those shopping trolly seats so I only do groceries on my own now.

Hayley I haven tused FDC myself bit it would be my first choice if I had to put Logan into care. I have a friend who runs FDC and I think it looks fantatsic. Not as many kids so it is more personal IYKWIM.

Cally I bought up heaps of girls and boys baby stuff while it was on special last year (have had to put the girls syuff away lol) and plan to do it again this year. I went to Kmart when they had reduced all their summer clothes and had 20% off, I dont think I paid more then $4 for anything.

Noni Yay for the new glasses and big woo hoo for going to see your friends....how exciting.

Arte I completley agree about motherhood being the best thing I have ever done. Logan is 7kg now too.

I have zero energy today, I think it is the crappy weather. I ate way to many Kingstons today and justified by saying they were going soft (the container has a crack so air is getting in). I have also only been walking once this week, it has looked like raining every morning and the last thing I want to do is get stuck in the rain with Logan in the pram. I had better go and sort this kitchen of mine out, it looks like a bomb went off in there. Sorry to anyone I missed tonight.
