Hi Everyone
Well, I'm back I've been lurking around here but have only just had enough time to do a decent post.
I'm glad to hear everyone has been going well, I've tried to read back some posts to see how everyone is going but there is just too damn many.
Sarah is growing so big and has a total of 6 teeth with another on its way if the red cheeks and munched fingers are anything to go by. She has been doing swimming lessons as well, we're lucky enough to have an indoor heated hydrotherapy pool close by. So the only cold bit is the dash to the change rooms for me. The instructor has started dunking her during the lessons which freaked me out a bit but Sarah seemed to like, until of course I tried it and she cracked a nana at me. And yep, she has started to 'fall' off the side into the water during 'Humpty Dumpty' as well. She preempts it and dives right in.
Shes not crawling yet but can still get around by rolling. She also loves standing up and will step really well so maybe she will walk without really crawling. I try to give her lots of floor time but the little terror has started pulling herself up. Definately time to lower the cot down to its bottom level!
I'm planning two partied for her as well. She'll be having one up here in Bundy and the other back in Ipswich. The Bundy one will be more like a BBQ dinner for a few family members, got her cake and invites in place and the rest will be very straight forward. Where as the Ipswich one will be hardcore, more people ,bigger deal as it will be on her actual birthday. That one will be cupcake themed with invites, cake, decorations and of course cupcakes all over the place. Should be a blast. I was lucky enough to grab the last pink smart trike from Target so that is her big pressie and then shes got heaps of other small things to open, play with for a second and then discard in favour of the wrapping paper or box.
Anyway, better get dinner organised for us all...take care and I'll be back soon to chat more and hopefully keep up with all you Chatty Kathys.

thanks JaZmum and Cassius2, yea we might just actually hire a local community centre and bring in food.... as renting an indoor playground is not very practical as most kids we know are less than 1 year old...

Just a quick one from me, I had every intention of sitting down and catching up but time has gotten away from me once again.

Hi to Kate and Nina.

Re parties we are going out to lunch since my family will be visiting and the following weekend we are having a BBQ with friends. We were going to hire a hall but thought it was to much work lol. We had a joint 1st birthday last Sunday with our friends from antenatal class, it was lovely.

Logan has been sleeping really well lately, not waking and sleeping in until 7am. I am a very happy mumma but don't want to jinx it. He is also eating really well, all in all I am very happy. Had him weighed today and he is 10kg. His feet are 11.5cm, mind you I could hardly hold his foot still so who knows what they really are lol.

Anyway I started this post about 40 min ago and must really get to bed. I promise to catch up properly tomorrow.

Hi there Kate!! Great to hear from you again.

Oz - What a good boy Logan is sleeping through the night. Wonderful that you are happy too

noni - i hope you're feeling better soon. I'm glad that Asha doesn't have anything nasty.

Jess lost her first tooth tonight. I'm feeling quite sad because it's a sign that she is growing up. Anyway, now i'm searching for free printable tooth fairy letters etc. She's put her tooth in a little container under her pillow, so i'm going to find a bit of glitter and sprinkle it on her sheets (the tiniest amount ) and put the letter and a couple of gold coins. It's so exciting creating special memories

Oh far out didnt realise the phenergan was for over the age of two, so we wont be going with that silly idea at all. I didnt really like the idea of 'drugging' her up. I think she will be fine, I'll give her a bottle on the way up and way down & she should sleep for a bit seeing as its her normal sleep time. Apart from that if we have to pace up and down the plane with her, big deal. She is pretty easy going so I'm sure she'll be ok.

Jazmum - Aw thats such a sweet idea! I remember my mum doing that for me and believing it was the tooth fairy. Cant wait to do that stuff with M.

Katie - Ooh I am jealous of that sleep!

Noni - Hang in there. Maybe you need some iron? Glad Asha is ok.

Nina - WOW I just noticed you are onto bub number 2, congrats. How exciting! Why dont you keep the bday low key and just have something small at your place for close friends and family?

Pregpan - This is the first time M has ever had red meat, so dont stress about N lol. I'll try the breadcrumbs next time thanks for that tip.

MD - Aww sounds like DD1 just wanted to be with mummy. Did she have a headache?

Well I lay byed the pink smart trike for chrissy or her birthday, not sure yet. I also bought a new FP toy its a set of drums that snaps into a rolling toy, that encourages the baby to crawl after it. Maddie is SO close to crawling so I thought this may help her take that final step. Not to mention it was cheap hehe.

Just a quickie- sorry havn't read anything...
i had shingles not so long ago and it seems they have reappeared. They dont generally treat preggo women unless it is in the eye area, which it is. So i have to take a category B3 drug. Which the royal womans hospital say is fine, but makes me nervous as hell. Off to Opthamologist today, hopefully eye will be clear and maybe i wont have to take the rest of the meds..... fingers crossed anyway!
