What happens with all the prams at the mums and bubs movie sessions? Are they all parked in the foyer?

Arte - K whinges sometimes in her sleep, I don't know if her eyes are open or not and she just resettles, we just hear her in the lounge room and look at each other in a panic thinking she's about to wake up!!

MD - Poor you with E at the library, yay for magic boobies!!

Didn't get to try K kicking around in the bath last night. DH let most of the water out so she could try, but he then decided she was cold. Will try one night when he's not there!

Hi Girls,

Hello to everyone

Well we went to the parent teacher night and it turns out my boys are like the Van Wilder of Day Care. They can seem to get all the kids in the class sitting all in a circle and singing along to songs. ( I am sitting here laughing ) Teachers told us they are great boys which makes me very happy and proud.

Noni- Olivia is now turned around in her car seat and she loves it.
Art- How is NZ. Sorry to hear you are in need of sleep.

All is good for me. Talk to you all soon

Leanne - that is great news. I bet you were a real proud mama !!!
cally - how did Katie sleep last night? one of the mums from Zoe's kindy was telling me about a new book she has found 'Save our sleep' by Tizzie Hall. funnily enough i was reading a athread about it before i saw her yesterday. anyway, she said her daughter has gone from waking 3 or 4 times a night to sleeping right through. Apparently it is a very regimented routine though - and i think for me personally it would add too much stress. i am thinking of having a look at it though.
noni - how are you going today?
lots of busy mummies at the moment - hi to queenie, oz, supa and everyone else too.
fianne -maybe we can organise a catch-up when you get back from your holidays. I'm organising a 6th birthday party for Jess next week - having 16 girls for a Disco Party. Then i've got Hannah's baptism to organise. Does that sound ok with you?

jazmum, brave of you to have that many kids around. but then again, you've got the experience so it's probably a breeze for you. anytime's fine with me. maybe we can see if any other queenslander want to catch up with us too. think will check out that book too. had a pretty bad night last night. in bed at 8'ish. got her up at 10:30 for dream feed and nappy change (bad rashes so been changing often). woke at 1'ish, 2'ish, 4'ish....hmmmm....maybe i've got the times wrong but pretty sure i got up at least 2x and dp got up at least 2x.
leanne, your boys sound like they're a credit to their mum.
cally, some have prams parked on the aisle where it's wide but most prams are parked before going into an aisle or up the stairs and to the side lining up to outside. (gosh, don't know if i'm making sense here....need sleep)

[Leemar]

Jazmum- I hope the party goes well it sounds like heaps of fun. Yep I am certainly very proud of my boys.
Fianne- Sorry to hear that max is not sleeping well. I hope you get some sleep tonight. I thank god every day for all my babies. Children bring so much joy to life.

Well its my mums birthday today and I just remembered I have to go pick up her cake. Oh boy..... we are having a family bbq at her house tonight. Dad bought her the most wonderful bunch of flowers today it was really sweet.

[Patooties]

leanne - hope you have a nice evening
fianne - you're lucky your dh helps you out through the night. Hannah is a real mummy's girl at the moment. She won't let dh rock her to sleep - starts screaming.
we just went to the chiropractor again. He noticed that she had a bump to the right side of her face - near her eye. He put his finger on the roof of her mouth and performed some kind of magic lol.
i think Hannah is getting a cold again - and probably conjunctivitis like the girls

I just had a quick peek into the September belly buddies thread for this yr, isnt it amazing to think how fast time has flown for us! All the girls are 12 or so weeks pregnant and so excited, seems like that was us yesterday.

OMG soooo hot here today, almost 40 deg or maybe it has reached 40 deg by now. I wouldnt have normally left the house on such a hot day with Maddie, but I had uni, which was absolutely fantastic but scary at the same time. I'm really looking forward to getting into my study, its another challenge I guess. The unit I am doing is ecology of children (0-3yrs) which is about how various things influence what kind of a person they will be when they grow up. It is very interesting, and really hits home at how critical it is that babies get stimulation, love and attention from day one. Kinda made me a bit paranoid hahaha!!!

Leanne - Aw how gorgeous, your boys sound wonderful. Enjoy the bbq

Pregpan - How is your search for suitable care for Noah going?

Marydean - Thanks for your study tips!!!

Arte & Noni - Dont beat yourself up, you are both great mummies!!

Fianne - Glad you enjoyed the mums and bubs session, what movie did you see?

Cally - Aw dad spoiled the bath time fun! I can see what you mean about them getting cold though, dont know what your weather has been like lately but we have been having very hot days so we havent had that problem. Wondering what it will be like in winter, hopefully they can sit then.

I am still deciding whether to drop work, gosh its so confusing. I think at the moment I am managing because Maddie is a good baby, she is no hassle to me at all. She sleeps straight through from 6/7pm to 8am in the morning, every night (touch wood). However I am keeping in mind that more than likely she will change her pattern soon and then how will I cope with working and studying on top of caring for Maddie. Sorry for always rabbiting on about this lol. I dont expect anyone to reply about it, it just makes me feel better to get it out in the open iykwim.

Hope you are all having a lovely day!!
