Arte - OMG I'm waiting with bated breath! RU ok with the prospect of maybe being PG or just scared silly? (I'm looking at your Mt Doom location wondering which it is...)

Well it's been quiet in here today ladies. Thinking of Leanne and little Jordie, wondering how they're getting along!

Sherie - OH no I hope you're feeling better soon and Paige too. xxx

Cally, I was LMAO at the thought of cous cous everywhere! Great idea though, just gotta have time to clean the mess afterwards!

Is anyone starting to think about their bub's 1st birthday? I'm not sure what to do, DH will be away and it just won't be fun without him. I need a rent-a-family.

Well all's not quiet on the western front. Nipple pain is going away but the full-blown boob pain has started. Feeling blah too from getting the flu vax yesterday - thanking my lucky stars the Dr gave me ABs when she did, hoping that's enough to get it sorted in the next 24 hrs. I don't know why that boob is so much trouble...it's always the same spot where it gets blocked. Must have a d!cky duct.

ETA Noni I had a little giggle when I read about how A stops and reaches, E did that for the first few weeks of crawling too. It'll be funny when she realises she can stay in the position or even sit and still get the thing she wants.

Gracie & Renee I thought of you last night when Margaret and David were talking about SATC (she gave it 4 stars he gave it 1 PMSL). We're hanging out to see Prince Caspian and Kung Fu Panda with DD1.

First birthday - it's on a Saturday so I am thinking about a family bbq. Nothing too big, am hoping that we will have turfed the lawn by then so the place looks nice. And lolly bags for everyone (except DD!)

Joined the toy library this afternoon. Great value - and because we live so far from town (took me almost 20 minutes to get there lol) we get to keep the toys for a month instead of a fortnight! She's got some activity centre thing with heaps of buttons that makes all sorts of noise. Will probably drive me crazy by the end of the weekend.

Arte - fingers crossed you get the result you want in the morning - let us know. Try and get W's chin towards the lump too when you feed.

MD - hope your boobies get better soon!

AF started for me this week. Disappointed I didn't get a couple of extra months out of bfeeding.

Couscous, I actually wheeled her into the bathroom and did the clean up in there, easier than in the dining room!

My sister (the one without a baby) is coming down to visit this weekend. Will get to do some girly shopping while DD has 'daddy time'.

[Artechim]

Gracie, I thought it could be AF coming, I also thought I could be ovulating, really I have no idea lol

MD, I literally live in the shadow of Mt Doom LOL, Mt Ngauruhoe is about 20 minutes drive away and it was used as Mt Doom in Lord of the Rings. I would prefer to wait a few months before TTC but whatever happens...

Cally, I haven't been brave enough to try couscous, I can imagine the mess it would make though. I tried peas and corn tonight and he made enough of a mess with that. Thanks for the chin to the lump tip.

Bath time over, better go.

Does anyone else have a bathtime pooer? We have about a 70% poo rate at bathtime LOL

[Isadora]

Arte - LMAO not in the bath I hope! Cheeky monkey! Maddie is a predictable pooer as well, every morning after her 1st bottle without fail. Unless constipated!! Wow how exciting re the possibility of being preggers!

Cally - Joining the toy library is something I've been meaning to do. Whats the go, do you pay an annual fee for it?

MD - Oh thats a shame that DH will be away for E's 1st bday. I havent thought too much about it to be honest, but nothing over the top, much the same as Cally - a family bbq. Maddie's is on a Sat as well which is perfect.

Gracie - LOL at Lewis the walrus! We have the same problem atm. Have you had any big snotty kisses from Lewis?! Maddie loves planting her open mouth all over my face. If it was from anyone else I'd feel sick but with Maddie I just have to laugh iykwim! And wipe it off of course...!

Noni - Happy 2000th post for when it happens!

Bum I accidently posted when I hadnt finished!

We tried cheese and tomato toast soldiers today, and they went down a treat. I was watching carefully because last time she had cheese she went funny, but this time there was no reaction at all thank goodness. I also had a huge cook up today, I made a yumo pasta sauce for Maddie & a few annabel karmel recipes. Her food is so good, I find myself finishing Maddie's left overs!

I am seeing S&TC tomorrow night with the girlies wooo hooooooooo!

[Ginger]

hayley- that's fantastic that you're seeing satc. i'm so looking forward to it? are you feeding maddie meat? i'm just asking cos i know you're a vego so i'm wondering how you're dealing with the meat thing.
lewis loves giving me snotty kisses. he's so gross!

sherie- hope you're feeling a little better. i've caught a bit of a cold myself- was supposed to go to the gym today but felt too sick. i remember last time you got sick i caught it too!

leanne- hope jordy is going well today

arte- lewis has never pooed in the bath. i can't believe that! would totally put me off bathtime

cally- enjoy your baby-free shopping time. what are you thinking of buying? oohh i miss shopping

md- hope your boobs feel better soon we're having a double 1st birthday bash with my friend's dd. i think the plan is for a country and western theme with hay bales and pony rides.

[Cally]

Arte - no poos in the bath here yet!

DD is constipated again. I have a doctors appt on Tuesday so I will talk to doc about it then. Poor little thing.

Gracie - not sure if I will buy anything. Just want to wander around and have a cup of coffee without feeling like I need to rush because of DD. DH i is going to do the supermarket shop by himself with K - I haven't even done that yet (only picked up little things with her) so will be interesting to see how that goes. He's also going to get some gates to try and keep her 'confined'.

Hayley - for the toy library it's $11 for the year and then you pay a price for each toy (between $1 and $5 depending on the size).

DD had her biggest fall last night. She was standing next to the coffee table and fell backwards, collecting a toy on the way and banging her head on the floor. She was pretty upset, but I think DH was more upset - he's concerned about head injuries.

And we have a top tooth just about to peek through!

[*noni*e*]

cally - i think we might have atop tooth about to peek through too hard to see coz ash wont let me look in her mouth most the time.. if dh is worried bout head injuries maybe you should look into getting one of those head bumpa things jazmum was going to get, just google it and itll come up..
gracie - were you a vego too? i give asha meat n i dont eat it figure she needs it for now for the iron etc and when shes old enough she can make the decision not to eat it if she chooses.. i cook up roasts for dp and my dad and use leftovers to make her some food thats been the most successful, she likes bbq chicken too and tuna.. everythings alright just dont quite feel myself lately which is why ive been a bit absent.. thanks for asking.. hows lewis going with his snot now?
haley - lol i find myself finishing off some of ashas foods too lol its terrible!! no wonder i have put on weight lol!! glad the tomato toast soldiers went well and cheese isnt a problem anymore
arte - no poos in the bath here!!! gosh that would put me off bath time lol i hope he stops doing it!! could be to do with nappy free time?
md - we are doing much the same as cally but probably going to the picnic park thats near by here.. ashas birthday is a friday so we will have it on the saturday.. i want to make a cake and atm its going to be a butterfly made out of different coloured cup cakes sorry dh will be away thats awful
arte - hows the pregnancy scare going? eeeek.. know what you mean with the floor crud asha has so many toys but a bit of dirt on the floor is much more exciting in her opinion lol..
