See Clare, I wouldn't mind so much if I were totally clueless, but I've actually taken the time and worked it all out but the bluddy thing is faulty! How come you get Arte working as your personal network administrator? Not fair!! (she is one clever chicckie)
MMMm PAP, they are the arnotts choc fudge ones. Mmmmm don't tell anyone I'm supposed to be dieting. LOL

MD: see at least you were able to work out that the thing was faulty...i would still be sitting there (prob in tears lol!).
PaP: LOL! maybe it was something in the griffith water?!! i used to crush up weetbix sprinkle the top with wheatgerm (yeah i know, granny food, but couldnt get enough of it) and layer it in milk....mmmm (oh and some sugar of course he he he!).
BellyBelly Member
yep if DH was away for work, i think i ate wetbix 3 meals a day for at least 2 wks. ice cold milk, sugar and weetbix - YUMMO!!!!!!!!!!!!
i also had areal thing for milkshakes, i already do now too.. N drank about half a strawberry milkshake the other day... at least i have someone to share my cravings with this time!!

Cally- do you roast the veggies after slicing them? they wouldn't take long if they were sliced so thin. I think my oven would burn them. Hmmmmm hit me with the 'how to' roasting tips please!

Leanne, I wanted to get Alister some Haviana's too, but I can't bare to part with $25 for toddler thongs LMAO - I'm too frugal. I would be so cranky with myself if it were me who lost one though.
Registered User
mmmm cally that wrap sounds beautiful- i want one now!
leanne- someone gave lewis some of those thongs in blue- i can't believe she already lost one
pp- i'm obsessed with milkshakes- vanilla mmmm
don't worry everyone, the ring is safely back in its little hiding spot for another day LOL

Don't you worry, it was left such a long time because I did reach total meltdown (involving incoherent screaming) the first time I tried LOL.
All sorted now, I'm on my encrypted wireless connection right NOW!
Leanne - bummer on the thong. Not sure I could bear to part with $25 for thongs, $2.50 maybe haha. You'll have to turn the other one into some sort of modern art fixture so you still get value for money on it LOL.
Rainy, my DH cracked right up when I told him about your little secret. HUHlarious.
Hey, quick Q - what's the best thing for dribble rash. E's had it really bad, don't really want to use her nappy cream on it, any suggestions?

You have all been so chatty today. I have had a rather crap day but I am over whinging.
Rainy my DH cracked up when I told him what you were doing, he said it is something I would do. Do you think DP will pop the question on Christmas day? Can you even wait that long?
Leanne L has havaianas too, my sis bought some tiny ones when he was born and he got a blue pair for his birthday. I would be spewing if I lost one, the price is crazy isnt it. I had to laugh at your boys fighting coz they crazy hair, makes perfect sense lol.
MD I wish my DH would bring me tea and biscuits.
PAP I want to be pregnant having cravings too lol. Last time round I craved hot chips but they had to be oven bake ones lol.

Hi Girls,
Rainy-OMG I neally pee'd my pants laughing... you crack me up... I hope you dont forget to take it off before DP come's home or anyone else. Thanks for making me smile today.
Well I only just survived the outing to the shops for the boys haircuts. Bought Livi some havana thongs and geez they cost $24.95 and well we lost one somewhere in the shops... The boys haircuts look great and then after we had finish getting them done we went to coles and thats when they decided to have a punch up. Xavier proceed to tell me they had to cause they had crazy hair (meaning the lady put gel in their hair) What tha F****KKK Well then we came home and they are now all sleeping....
PP- I love chicken
Cally- Yummo on your wrap
Sherie- yep I am glad too that you are going ok.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR NONI!!!! Hope you have a wonderful day and Miss A and DP spoil you. Enjoy the wiii!!!!
Rainy - that getaway sounds great - where abouts are you going? I would love a little getaway to the coast, I am in need of a bit of a break. At the moment we are planning our 2 week end of yr holiday, but it is a bit of a shambles, we are going to Noosa for a week andthen have a week spare - but now we dont know should we cancel noosa and go oseas (esp given oseas holidays will be a little trickier soon) and if not where on earth shall we go for the 2nd week esp given we have left it v late to book. we are looking at cook island, samoa, vanuatu.. also thailand but i think that is unlikely. also v stressful as we will be away from 11-13 wks of preg - how do i do the Nt scan etc??? aaah the stresses! will yuo take your engagement ring with you on the holiday LOL???
Rainy and Ange and Cindy - are you guys going to have a 'pre baby holiday' - we did last time and think we will this time (holidays are our bad habit LOL) - prob to Qld somewhere around mar/april - last time we went to palm cove, wouldnt mind going there again but it is 2 flights fromhere to Cairns so maybe Noosa or something is better. i also wouldnt mind going to tasmania or smething like that (NZ been on our list for ages) but i finmd it hard to choose a cold holiday!
Oz - it will happen for you soon I am sure... I hope so anyway!!!Hmm cravings - currently craving halva!!! YUMMO! think i just wan all the bad things i keep stopping myself from having! the worst thing for me is cutting out caffeine... and i keep forgetting what i can/cant have so it is like the 1st time all over again. I pulled out 'UP the Duff' the pther day, that made it more real. for some reason this time ariund i am more paranoid/worried about ectopic (keep imagining 'pain') and m/c. i just want the 1st tri OVER! to be honest i think being on BB has made me all more aware/close to the dangers/scares etc so i am more scared. i think i joined BB when iw as about 10 weeks last time!
I got all my blood tests back yest and all is good. no rubella immunity again so that is a bit of a worry, but aside from that all good. he thinks my dates are good so no need for a dating scan (dammit). hey wiuld you guys prefer i didnt put all the preg details here (you can follow all my other threads) - i feel like i want to share it with you all, but at the same time it is a bit off topic - let me know! (no offence i promise)
MD sorry no tips on dribble rash... the fish oil sounds like a nice natural option.
Leenne - where in USA are you going? how do you manage it with the 3 of them???
N is havinga weird few days - i think he is teething really badly poor little guy.. and also maybe coming down with something (hmm maybe from licking everything at the play centre on the weekend).
One of my best friends (went to school tog then lives o'seas tog and them lived tog 1st yr uni) is here the next 2 days so i am hoping to knock off work early and meet her and her bubba for coffee/play! cant wait!
hi to everyone i missed...
Registered User
happy birthday noni, hope you have a wonderful day.
katie- i can't wait till xmas- no way!!! i want it this weekend LOL
pp- we're going down to torquay. i can't wait, it's like a girls' holiday but we've all got babies as well. it'll be so nice cos i feel like that's one thing that i really miss since having l. only problem is i won't be able to take a bottle of wine!
why don't you head over to perth/maragaret river for a week- so nice and relaxing there.
i doubt we'll be taking a pre-baby holiday. we usually go to sydney for hols but can't go this yr due to fall-out with in-laws. also it's just too hard for dp to take time off work cos if he doesn't work we don't get paid!
are you going to find out the sex of this bubs???

Happy birthday Noni! Have a great day, enjoy playing with your new toy!
PAP - Mmmmmmm Halva! I have a friend who makes a to-die-for semolina Halva, only wish i knew how. Why don't you do NZ at Christmas - it will be cooler than Aust so good in your superheated PG state...??? You can pop in and say g'day to Arte while you are there.
Rain - getaway to Torquay with the girls sounds lovely.
Oz - aaaaaw hope you have a much better day today.
AFM - well we had our first whole bowl of porridge tipped on the floor this morning.I took my hand away for a second to grab the other spoon...greased lightening! on the floor. Lucky it landed on the tiles not the carpet. DH cooked it (not too well) and I'm afraid the world's littlest food critic spoke. LOL
Registered User
Happy birthday Noni!!
MD - lol at the world's youngest food critic!! We've moved onto the melamine bowls here after an incident with one of my Royal Doulton bowls last week (silly me I know, turned my back for a moment).
Ange - I have a mandoline so all the vegies are cut up the same thickness and then put them on a tray and roast. I do each vegie separately (unless there is space on the tray) and just do it until they are soft in the middle, then turn over. My oven is dodgy so some of them end up with crispy bits but that's OK. Sweet potato and pumpkin take a while, but zucchini and eggplant are really quick.
PAP - feel free to share any pregnancy stories here. I want to hear about it, but I really only look through this thread in details so would miss anything else.
What is halva?
Rainy - sounds like a lovely holiday. I bet the kiddies will have an absolute ball!
So all of you preggo ladies - what (if anything) are you going to do differently this time around to last time?
