happy birthday to maddie, sarah and lu hope your birthday was fantastic....xxxooo[/color]
Happy Birthday Lulu girl!
Sherie - I too know C&C Music Factory, love it and yep...can't stop humming it.
Ozstar - Way to go on the clairvoyent reading. Yours seemed a lot more detailed then mine. Might have to go to another one me thinks.
As for the tattoo...this is my third. First is a little daisy on my hip to represent my freedom and independence when I turned 18. Second is a 'tramp stamp' (lower back) which is my star sign incorporated in a tribal looking thing. And the latest is Sarahs name on my inner left wrist. My life blood on my life blood.
How many of you others are inked and what and where? Will post pics as soon as.
:loveshower::hooray:
AFM - SARAH HAS TAKEN HER FIRST STEPS! :dance:She took her first one last night while mum was watching her (so I missed that) but then took consecutive steps today. Maximum of 6 and she did it quite a few times thru-out the day. Yeah for my big girl. I was joking that she'd take her first steps on her birthday and she did. I can't forget the date at least. :lol: sniff sniff...she's growing up in front of my eyes :crying: ;)
Happy Birthday Sarah
and
Happy Birthday Luella
Ozstar, sounds like your reading went really well. Hope there is a little pink bundle coming your way soon
MD, I don't think I will ever be prepared for pre-teen MSN lol We are off to visit the in-laws next week and there is a little petting farm that I am quite excited about going to - it has all sorts of farm animals as well as ostriches and wallabies and I think W will love it.
Sherie, the cake looks fantastic. Glad the party went well
Kate, congrats on the walking
MM, poo to your in-laws. Just half-joking mention that if it gets too stressful you could always elope, maybe if they think they will miss out altogether they might back off a bit? I didn't have any input from either set of parents for ours, helped that I was in a different country though lol.
Cally, glad that K was o.k. W always gets a fever after vaccinations. I haven't taken him for his last meningitis one because he is always really unwell for a couple of days after. Luckily we don't have any for a few more months yet.
Clare, lol about the stinky poo. Is it something new she is eating? Or teeth?
Leanne, have all the various illnesses that have struck your house clearing up?
Yay for everyone that celebrated a birthday in the last few days, good to hear all the parties went well and everyone had cake despite a few setbacks lol
We went out boating yesterday, W loves it. I was worried he would get bored in the boat all day but he lasted 6 hours without cracking it (even had a little nap near the end too). I have a friend and her 3 year old daughter coming up today for the rest of the week and then we are off to Southland to visit ILs so I probably won't be on much for a bit.
Oh, oh, nearly forgot - the other night William slept for 8 hours without waking!!! He woke at 10pm when I went to bed and 6am but nothing in between!!! Yaaayyyy!!
Kate - I LOVE your ticker - so funny the countdown to 2nd bday already!!! i used ot do that on my bday when i was a kid the day after my bday was the WORST ever as i had a whole year to wait!!! YAY on the walking!
I dont have that long to write but i was HORRIFIED to see our thread on page 2 so i had to do a post LOL
clare - so glad you are feeling better, you had me worried there for a while
Rainy - how are you and L gastro wise? i hope it has cleared up. when is your scan again? i had a dream last night about your baby (girl) - cant remember much except that she was decked out in Oobi and you were carrying her in an ergo on your front and L in an ergo on your back...!!!
Ange - how is the morning sickness?
MD - 1st day school hols.. thinking of you. i hear the petting zoo at floriade is wonderful and best of all that CIT has early learning students there to look after the kids....!!!!! maybe you can leave them there all day LOL!! (I am joking). Tips froma friend that it opens at 10 so get there at 945 as it gets PACKED! (the zoo that is)
Happy bday to all babies i have missed - so sorry what a bad buddy i have been.
AND MOST OF ALL CONGRATS to MM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!! ring sounds gorgeous. proposal beautiful and ILs - typical!!! ha ha!! dont let them push you around re wedding but at the same time, at the end of the day you will be married to your gorgeous DH!!! With our wedding (which was a huge event) i chose the no go areas - the things that were really importsnt to Dh and I and no one could mess with them and then let my mum and DHs mum come up with other ideas on the other things. like i didnt care about things like table decs (that much) or even flowers so giving them these thinsg to think about (i still had final choice) meant they felt reall yinvolved and important but they stayed away from the things i did really care about. worked for us.
ok i am sorry i gotta go as i am off to the herbalist - back later.
main news here - DH home, have 11 people over for dinner tonight (jewish new year) and N has hand, foot and mouth. YUK!
Art - Yeah for W...sounds like you might have a little future sailor. And woohoo on the sleeping! Did that mean you still woke every few hours to see what was going on? If S sleeps for longer than usual I find myself checking her and almost pinching her to see if shes alright. :rolleyes:
PP - Yep, loved Sarahs ticker so much that I didn't want to go changing it again too much so just changed the end countdown date. I'm sure it will fly just like the last 12 months.
I hear you on the 2 page thing. I start panicking if I don't see it up near the top...it makes me think that you guys have hidden it from me...:D
Good luck at the herbalist and hope N gets better soon. What does HFM do exactly? Heard of it but haven't had anything to do with it.
S just woke up so off now...BBl maybe...:pray:
just a quickie from me as I AM FREAKING OUT!!! i have my confirmation of canditure today and i am totally scared. my whole career rests on this frikking meeting. i feel a panic attack coming on!!
PP: ha ha i have never seen it on page 2! that would have me freaking out too!
argghh have to go, it's almost time to meet my fate....
hi girls
sorry i've been so mia. lewis has been soooo sick. he's lost so much weight and is so miserable, i hate it. it's really testing dp and i. we've been fighting heaps. i'm really upset that he left me last weekend to go on an unnecessary boys 4 day weekend- stayed up till 5am drinking. then comes home tired and low tolerance- has to work huge hours as they've got heaps of work on atm. i'm bl88dy pg and sick with a sick baby- it's just all too much. he didn't know that we were going to get sick while he was away, but i just feel like he shouldn't be putting me in positions like that atm anyway, iykwim?? sorry for selfish vent post, i'm just really exhausted and over it all.
we ended up spending friday night down at the hospital emergency dept with lewis as he was just so lethargic and miserable, he wouldn't crawl or anything. he just couldn't keep anything down. i've been worried sick. he also won't let me put him down at all. i haven't had a shower in days. he won't sleep in bed without me, he has to lie on my chest on the couch at night. it's getting harder and harder to carry him around all the time as i'm bl99dy huge!!!
sorry, such a vent, i've just spent last night crying.
bbl for personals
pp- i loved your dream about my little oobi girl, she sounds so beautiful. i want to buy some oobi hairclips to put in her hair,
Oh Rainy
Big Hug to you - it sounds awful and i know how awful having a baby with gastro is, not to mention that you have been sick too and are preg.... i really wish i could do something for you. I assume the dr has told you all you can do for L food and drink wise, i did get some great info from my dr when N had it, so if you want that info pm me and i will pm you back with some tips. dont want to put tips here that you dont need....re the oobi clips for your little girl - i think anuty pregpan will have to send them to her when she is born!! whatever you have honey it will be a gorgeous baby with a wonderful mummy.
Have you tried having a shower with L? i had to do that when N had gastro, i thinkit made him feel better too.
awww thanks pp.
he actually is doing a little better today. he just ate some raffertys and had a big drink of water. i'm so glad i didn't wean him yet, bfing has been keeping him alive!
you're so sweet aunty pregpan.
had a shower with him yesterday but he's getting harder and harder to hold for long periods of time as my guts are so big, it hurts my back. he's a very big boy.
You're not having a great run Rainy. You poor thing. Sleep deprivation, a sick boy and a missing husband is a sure fire recipe for tears. :comfort: i hope you are managing to get some rest and a little shut eye. How's L this am?
Clare- excuse my ignorance, but what is your 'confirmation of canditure'?
ange- lewis is doing a lot better this morning. he is sitting up next to me eating a cheese roll right now. it's so nice seeing him smile again.
i'm really looking forward to us going swimming together.
why do i feel like i'm the only one on here who has a totally immature dp? the rest of you all sound like your dh's are so supportive and sweet.
eta- yes clare, i'm with ange- i have no idea what you're talking about
Ahh, Rainy. Don't fret my DH could probably teach your DH a big lesson on how to be immature and irresponsible. They just don't think and even when told they can't comprehend. It's because we are such strong women that they feel that we can cope with everything life throws our way. They forget that we need our man to lean on for help occassionally. I hope L continues to improve and that all the illness leaves your place for good. Sending big *blow that cr@p out the door* vibes.
Clare - I'm with the others whats this all about? Good luck today anyway :goodluck:, fingers crossed for the best for you
Soooo hot here at the moment. Bring back winter me thinks!
How exciting Clare, do you think your meeting went well? Fill us in on all the details.
G, When Lindsay had a bad dose of gastro/vomiting DH had arranged some casual work in town for that week ages before he got it and while he was at work I was at home cleaning up spew and poo all day and he would knock off work and have a few beers with the other blokes before coming home. By the end of the week I cracked it with him and told him he had to pull his finger out his ass and give me a hand because I'd had a gutfull of him being able to just stay in town and have beers instead of coming straight home, and this was before anyone really had mobiles, so I couldn't call him either. Not that I begrudge him having a beer, but he knew that Lindsay was sick and still stayed away kwim? When he finished the work he had on he did help me do all the washing that had built up and cleaned the house for me and that. Alister has been having a shower with me a lot lately and I don't hold him at all - I just put him on the floor and he's happy to sit or stand there. Don't worry about his weight as he will put it back on once he's well and eating properly again.
Kate, OoOh I think I have a tramp stamp...?? (Never heard it called that before...) I've got a sisterhood mark on my lower back. It's the sign my freestyling bellydance sisters and I wear (an arrangement of dots). Sounds bizarre, but TBH I don't often think about it.
PP Yay for DH home, happy Jewish New Year and I hope N mends soon.
Rainy, aaaw you poor thing, you definitely need more support than that! Glad L is a bit better now. No not the only immature DP, mine regresses on a fairly regular basis LOL (esp in the company other other males). I think it's the Y chromosome fighting against his evolution as a human being LOL. BUT he does the laundry so in a lot of women's eyes I ain't got nuthin to complain about.
Good luck Clare, though it's probably already over and done! Isn't the confirmation to do with your thesis being accepted?
Sherie, awesome cake, loved the photo of A in his wagon as well. I need to charge my camera and upload some photos too, I've got some beauties, poor DH hasn't even seen them yet!
Well the petting zoo at Floriade was excellent! Missy E was just entranced, especially loved the ducks and the sheep. The weather was a bit dodge which kept the crowds away so it was nearly a perfect tulip experience, except DD1 had one of her moods on and holding E for photos was just oh soo hard for her so I was a bit disgruntled towards the end. Ah well, that's life. Pity cos the tulips were nearly perfect and I doubt they'll be that good if we go back to try for more photos next week.

Yipppeee..... DH is now home again and all the kids are doing heaps better.
Xavier went for his check up about his ears and he can go back swimming so I have now booked all the kids in for lessons again... He has to wear special plugs though. Jordy's ear is heaps better now and Olivia's cold has gone.
Olivia is now walking some more now so it wont be long b4 she does it full time...lol
I slept last night like I have never slept b4 so it was wonderful and nice for a change.
CONGRATULATIONS TO MM on your engagement I am really happy for you and your family.
Hope all the partys on the weekend were wonderful.
