JG - what an absolutely adorable little boy! That photo is gorgeous. It must have been so hard for you all when Hamish had his surgeries. It' s wonderful that his eyesight is improving every day.

i'm off to beddy byes too. My eyes are sore from crying while I was watching 'Find My Family". I cry every time. (then again, i shed a tear when someone is sent home on America's Next Top Model )

[Isadora]

Happy birthday to Lewis!!!

Jazmum - I also just bawled my eyes out at find my family hehe.

Joelsgirl - Congrats on your pregnancy and wedding.

Have to fly, sorry girls, just checking in to say happy bday

[Trillian]

Hi Cindy!!!!! So great to see you pop in for a chat! (Although I admit I did know your news already - I came across you while looking for someone on another forum). And Super happy for you being both pg again and getting married! Hamish is just gorgeous - that's an amazing pic. No way known would I have able to get a posed pic of Alister like that. And great to hear that his eye surgery went well and his eyesight is improving. And definately no more babies for us LOL.

I got the new-new washing machine home safely, after I had to stop and tie it down again! Old mate at HN didn't have it tied down right and it started moving around on the trailer and I wasn't even out of town yet!! It's still on the trailer though because DH came home from work last night not well with a head cold and couldn't bring it in for me, but I think I will be able to do it today myself.

And Alister has another tooth!!!! A molar up the top is just poking through. It must have been there a few days because one point is all the way out. I didn't even notice it till last night when I had him across my lap tickling him and he threw his head back laughing and I saw it. So that's 8 teeth now.

Kate, with your av, just have what you look like, what clothes you like wearing and colours etc, any hobbies or things you like, Logan (of course LOL) and/or your DH etc.

Marydean! I have a super idea for what H can do as an activity! Yesterday in town I brought the kids some cheap 30cm square canvases to paint on when we got home and the idea being was for me to lacquer them and hang on their walls and they turned out great and the kids loved donig them. Maybe you could get some for H and some paints and let her do some artwork for her bedroom?

Morning Girls,

JG-CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PG AND YOUR MARRIAGE and a big welcome back.
Sherie- WTG A on your teeth

Ok so DH has left again for Sydney today but on the upside I am flying down on Friday morning to be with him and on sat we are heading off to my cousins as she is having a big 40th party. Grany is babysitting the kids so I will miss them.

Hello to everyone and have a super day

[Ginger]

hayley- i've been googling stuff on the internet for us, and i thought- why don't you guys go to margaret river to elope? they do packages at wineries that look fantastic

cindy- are you going to find out the sex of your bubs?

pp-did i read right, are you moving to melbourne??

[Cassius2]

Hi Girls!

And a big congratulations to JG! (on both fronts!! LOL!).

MD: ahh yes, we have been bad mummies and daddies in this neck of the woods too, with a few too many cans...but as PP said, the guilt has crept up and we are doing massive cook-ups over the next couple of days before DH heads off again.

nah, we are not really officially TTC. we had a few 'oops' moments (sorry if TMI!), but we both want to wait another couple of years so that i can spend time one on one a bit more with bubs as i know that that's what i need to cope IYKWIM. i have to be extra careful since having had PND. sooo dont want to go back there again!!

Leanne: have a great time! yeah but missing the kids can be part of the fun, especially when you get to cuddle them once you return!!

oops best be off as it's coffee time.

Clare

All is good here.

[Cassius2]

oohh PP! if you move here i am soo not moving to the gong LOL!!

G: yeah?!! what PP said....are you guys thinking of getting hitched??????????? and yeah those spots look really lovely.

[Isadora]

Rainy - You've been reading my mind, I've been googling margaret river & dunsborough this morning. We've also considered Broome & Palm Cove (Nth QLD) but they are so expensive and really for that money I'd wanna be going o/seas on holiday!! How exciting, we'll both be married women next yr! I am so close now to just having a beach wedding with a bbq afterwards lol.

[~Kate~]

Hayley - yep I looked into Aust weddings on islands etc and found that they were the same price or dearer then heading overseas. We just did the beach wedding in Fiji followed by ****tails at sunset and then a family dinner in the resort restaurant. Loved it.

Falguni - When DH gets sick its like armageddon. Have you heard of the man flu? Its just a normal cold but for boys its sooo much worse. Well the way Rory was going on about it you'd think he had pneumonia.

I'm on the not-really-trying but not-really-trying-not-to boat. For tha last 8 months af has arrived on the 11st without fail, well guess what... nothing so far. I had some slight discolouration (sorry for TMI) at one point but that was it. Did the whole POAS thing at 1 week overdue and BFN and then another on Friday just gone and another BFN. So don't think I am but not 100% certain. I had a bit of breakthru bleeding when pg when S so just dunno. If we are then great but if not then thats sort of cool too. I did feel the disappointment when I saw the BFN as well as a small sense of relief. Gonna go to the doctors soon anyway so might ask for a blood test if still no AF. Next period is due in a few days so we'll see.

Anyway, best be off. Hi to everyone I missed and will try to BBL to catch up.

[joel's girl]

Thanks ladies for all the congrats. And yes Hamish is adorable, he really was the show stopper on the day.

To madsmum and noni - have fun planning your upcoming weddings, at least your little ones will be able to WALK down the aisle. I was hoping and praying but it didn't happen for us.

Rain - Yes we will be finding out the sex (scan on 29/10) ? What about you ? We don't have a preference either way. It's strange that with H I knew instinctively that he was a boy (we found out at 20wks) but this time I've got no idea !

Sherie - And just where do you find the time to search 'other' forums ?? If I remember correctly your one busy lady. It's nice to see you again dear.

I need to arrange H's 12 month needles for next week. Our dr is about 45 mins away so it's a bit of a pain. We saw his eye dr on Monday and I had been waiting to get the all clear about 'no more surgery' before I got his needles. So 3 big ones coming up !! Did your bubbas cope ok with theirs ??

H has eight 'huge' teeth but its been quiet on the teething front for months now. I've probably just jinxed myself now.

H isn't walking but trying to stand unaided. He has managed to stand for about 20 - 30 secs before plopping on his bottom. I know I'll regret it but I can't wait for him to walk.

Im gonna do my very best to keep up with you ladies for as long as I can.

Hope you al had a lovely day. Think I'll have an early night tonight. Joel is on nightshift so I have the bed to myself - yippi !

[AnyDream]

JG we're all pretty busy lately so I think most just read back a few posts and jump in when we can!! Nice to have you back in here!

Kate - well very exciting news on the not-trying front!

Ok better go, I'm supposed to be finding cinema sessions for tmrw when Miss E is going to care and DD1 and I are having big girls' time!

[Cassius2]

hey girls just a quickie from me for some advice...

heard on the news that a plane crashed in nepal with 2 people from victoria. mates of mine left last week to begin a big mountaineering trip there and i am kinda freaking out...how do we go about finding out about who was on the plane???

sorry for the selfish post...but when i need answers i come to you gals!

[Ozstar]

Happy Birthday MAX

MD how lovely having big girls time, what are you going to go and see?

Kate I am the same as you with the not trying thing.

JG L was fine with his needles, I was expecting more tears.

H & Rainy how exciting planning your weddings.

I am sorry to everyone I missed, I have had family up tonight and am buggered. I will try and catch up more tomorrow.

ETA Clare I have no idea who you would call but I am praying it isn't your friends. Do you have the number of any of your friends family or anyone close to them who may have been in contact with them?

[Isadora]

Claire, I just read that story online, gosh I really hope it isnt your friends. How about speaking to their parents, maybe they know more? Then again that might freak them out a bit. Other than that I really am not sure, sorry to be so hopeless! I'm sure your friends are fine & its not them

[Isadora]

Here Clare:

Any Australians concerned about the safety of next-of-kin who may have been travelling to Nepal at the time of the crash are advised to contact the department's 24-hour consular emergency centre on +61 2 6261 3305.

Just got that from the article on news.com
