Hi Girls!

wowser things have moved fast here in the last day!! a girl can barely keep up!

Gracie: he he he...i totally hear you on the 'oh so sexy' tracky daks. i have to admit that the guilt sets in when the clock reads after 1pm and i am still sporting the sexy numbers. and yes, i too have the ubiquitous ponytail...sometimes i flash it up with a head band LOL!! will be checking the online stuff out...need all the help i can get.
ohhh how true! i dream of the days before leila where i could sleep in excess of 12 hours!!! arrghhhhh!

MD: boo hoo, leila is STILL COMPLETELY toothless!!! she is about to be the last bub in group without teeth (even the 5 month olds are outstripping her!). that said, she can eat anything you put in front of her. she'll be a pro when she's a grandma!

Chepie: nah dont feel bad about dropping in! i too was a latecomer and have just argey barged my way into things! LOL!!
yeah the drs are pretty bad. leila has a doc, but we dont. alot of the clinics here are not taking new patients, so if DH or I get sick we have to go to the massive 'walmart' style doc surgery...

Sherie: sending you lots of zzzzz's for a good nights sleep...in fact, the same goes for all us ladies! (esp. MM!!).

MM: no. it is NOT bad to take maddie to your mums for the night. my friend sent her DS of 5 months to grandmas house for the night while they went out to an engagement party, so one night for maddie so that you guys can recuperate is not asking too much. sometimes a good sleep is all we need to feel 100% better!

Pregpan: yeah we get the big sloppy tongue, drooly pashes that usually end with leila sucking on our noses too. so gross and yet, so awesome!

Arte: lucky escape!! i have to say that i am really enjoying the mild winters here in melbourne. i said to DH the other night that if we were still in canberra having to endure another freezing winter without decent heating i would have gone bonkers. that said, the gale force winds out tonight are a bit hair raising as i can hear the gum trees straining, and my poor dog is a bit worried so have bribed her with liver treats and given her a doona to lie on top of her bed in the kitchen. i am a sucker i know!

AFM: things are pretty good. leila is getting over a small cold, have been having a few wakeups associated with temps, but she slept really well last night (down at 6.30 up at 5.30 and straight back to bed til 8.30). i figure she is catching up on the lost sleep from the other shocking 20 minute dance off night...
she has also started trying to really talk. she now points at DH and tries to say papa, and stella is 'dulla'. everything else, including me is either 'da' or 'ta'...not feeling left out at all!!
teeth are feeling nominally better. although i have to say that braces are hard work. brushing my teeth is now 3 times a day and because i am a novice takes close to half an hour. not happy jan!

anyway, big hellos to those i have missed. just had a glance back and realised that this is a whopper so had best head off to bed!
