Clare, Rainy, Ange hope you are all feeling better very soon!!
Rainy, what a cute blondie in his Oobi pants
MD - I think DD would have been quite happy to feed for longer during the day, but I cut back because of work (and it has been nice having my body to myself during the day)
Sorry to keep you hanging, YES I AM NOW ENGAGED!!! Whoo hoo about time after 8 years and a bub lol. I still havent been able to get in touch with my parents, they are in the outback somewhere travelling around. The only people I have really told are my sisters (who screamed down the phone) and DP is calling his parents today. So its still kinda a secret so please keep it hush hush for a bit, but I just have to tell someone...
Ok so this is how it happened: DP ordered the ring two weeks before we went away, but they couldnt get it done in time. So of course it arrived the Monday after we got back. DP came through the door on Mon night after work with a huge grin on his face. I had Maddie all dressed up in a party dress (trialling bday outfits hehe) and I thought he was just beaming because he was a proud daddy. Then I noticed he looked nervous and he was trying to get to Maddie (to give her the ring for me to find in her hand) but kept looking at me. I asked him what did he have behind his back....and he pulled out a huge whopping ring. I said OMG and pushed him, I even told him to shut up I was so shocked lol. So I'm saying is this a proposal, are we getting married, are you for real etc etc. He got down on one knee & said will you marry me!? So of course I said yes in between my tears. All the while Maddie is sitting on the floor looking pretty in her dress but with a shocked look on her face because I'm yelling & screaming at DP. He made such a good choice, the ring is absolutely stunning, 18ct gold princess cut diamond (1.6 carat) claw set with shoulder diamonds (.28 carat). Its a ripper. Now I have to organise insurance for it today, I'm scared to wear it. Also I have dropped it at the jewellers as its a wincy bit too tight, so I'm getting it resized a bit & therefore cannot wear it till Friday when I collect it. I'm still in shock but sooooooooooo happy.
Happy Birthday Jack! I hope you've had a great day so far little buddy!
G, for you hun. Maxalon is prescribed when women need help with supply, so I doubt it would have been that? My money would just be on you both having a gastro lurgy.
Clare, for you too! I can't believe they are not going to take the tonsils out! I would be p1ssed orf if I were you.
Ange, I hope you get better soon too hun. It's hard being sick, so you do have to get by the best you can.
Glad to hear Cally that the return to work went well.
Hi to everyone else! Haven't had much time to post on here in depth at all. Took A for a MCHN visit today and she gave me a bit of grief about not vaxing him anymore. I told her that my Dr didn't have a problem with it and changed the subject. So at 1yr, 6 days My Lanky Pants is 81cm tall, 10.02kg and I think a 45cm head circumference. She said a few things about getting him off the bottle too, but I told her I think I will just do what I did with the other three as they turned out fine (They were all off the bottles completely by 18mths). I admit I was a bit angry at her when she's usually been on the same page as me I start getting 'directed' on how to do things.
I think Cally mentioned a while back about water? Alister is starting to drink a lot more too lately with the warmer weather. I have a few sippy cups about the place and he just picks them up and has a drink as he sees them. Not sure how much he would have in a day though.
I am working up the energy to clean up outside. DH is off shift till Sunday night, but he is flat out rebuilding a tractor so they can cut hay soon, so he isn't about to do all the outside stuff before the party.
Clare, that sounds terrible, hope that you don't need an op. Why the fark won't they take out your tonsils when they keep giving you so much grief?
Ange, I am sure no one thinks you are a bad mum, as you said you do what you have to to survive. Hope that is clears up soon.
Trill, bummer about the MCN going dictator on you. Wow, A is a long boy, I measured W the other day and he is only 74cm!
Kate, sucks about the cake, hope you can find another one in time. Yay for S learning how to climb down feet first, it is a relief when they figure that one out isn't it! I am waiting for W to realise that he can climb off the bed himself when he wakes up (sleeps in our bed) instead of laying there calling for me.
MD, how is H going at school now? Did the bully problem stay sorted? How long until DH is back?
Ozstar, I was looking at your pics on FB, Logan is such a cute little boy
Nothing happening here, W is a busy little beaver - found my shoes in his bath, bath toy in the dryer and I have no idea what he has done with my belt lol
Thanks ladies for the well wishes for Jack. He's had a good day so far.
Except that I'm not quick enough taking the toys out of the boxes!
Giving him pressi's one at a time so he can explore each one as he gets them.
Kate, I havn't had the chance to teach jack going down feet first instead of head first, as he's been too clever & taught himself how to get off things.
I started trying to potty train Alex the other day & thought wat the heck I'll see how Jack goes .. pretty good actually.
He's had two accidents in the last 24 hrs .. one was when the power went out last nite & i was too focused on finding candles & working out something else for dinner and the other was this morning when he was chasing Alex & Shay around a tent in the middle of the lounge room.
MM- i blame the pregnancy hormones, but i was crying reading about your lovely proposal! Sounds like a ring worth waiting for, congratulations!
Kate- happy birthday for yesterday, sorry, i'm a bit slow! Maybe you could find some figurines in a cake shop for the cake, or some kind of lollies? A shame to not use your beautifully made cake!
Arte- i had a chuckle at Williams hiding of things!
Trillian- I really should be cleaning up outside too, but here i am sitting on the pc again. waiting for the cleaning fairies. Sounds like your HN was having a bad day. Pffft to her.
Raino- How you going love?
We're having a grand final day bbq which will involve a number one cake in hawthorn colors for Lu. DH has got her a Hawthorn jumper for her b'day, can you tell he is a mad Hawks supporter? Man we sound like bogans now! lol
Lu has started walking alot. Still crawls but can walk across the room now if she wants. She has also started to cuddle everything in sight. We have 9 puppies at the moment and i think she might suffocate one with her cuddles! We have also acquired a big long ear black rabbit, which, if he's not careful will suffer a similar fate. DH thinks i have turned this farm into a funny farm! lol he's not really into animals besides cows, sheep and dogs i dont think. ah well, i love my little funny farm!
ange- where did you get the rabbit from? sounds so cute
hayley- congrats you lucky girl! the ring sounds amazing.i wish i could see it irl
thanks everyone for asking how we're doing. seems as though we've both had some sort of gastro. took lewis to the dr and he spewed all over the drs floor. poor little man.
i'm feeling a little better today,just a bit tired and over it all. i just drove down to nandos and got some hot chips as that's all i can stomach. lewis had a few too so i'm sure they'll be coming back to haunt me soon.
gotta take him back to the dr in the morning for another check
cally- good work on knowing they were oobi shorts! i love oobi
