    Marydean, I've pretty much got Alister sorted for Christmas - we've got the big dump truck we didn't give him for this birthday, 2 duplo lego sets, some wooden Thomas trains and a view finder thingy. Oh, and an Esprit towel I was going to get embroidered with his name (got one for each of them in Myer's sales months ago). That's about it really.

    Hi ladies,

    Well the hot shower, lots of water and bed did the trick and things settled down eventually. Still having strong BH but not as intense and frequent as last night. I think that is just how things will be for me. Oh well.

    Re: chrissy presents, Im not sure what to get Hamish, Im not a fan of lots of presents and we have such a large family who all buy for him also so I think a couple of small things will be fine - he's still too young to understand.

    Hi hope everyone is well. Maddie is having a sleep so I'm having some mama time - stuff the house cleaning!

    Now I cant remember much from the previous thread...

    Noni - You'd probably enjoy working you know, once you get into the flow of it, its not bad at all. Maybe you can get a job at a childcare center & then put Asha at the same center?

    JG - Glad the braxton hicks have stopped.

    Chrissy pesents: M will only be getting a couple of pressie from us this year. Her smart trike and something else. Christmas this year is going to be pretty quiet for us, as most of our family are off travelling and also because we have a wedding, honeymoon and Melb trip to save for.

    Did anyone else see Renee's Bali pics on facebook? What a lucky duck.

    Hi Everyone
    Just caught up on posts and now can't remember personals. Sorry... Forgive me...

    Not much going on our end. My mum is coming up tomorrow from Brissie for a few days and then I'm heading down there for a week. She was originally catching the train up and then she'd drive down with me to keep S entertained but then we got $10 fares on the tilt train so thought bugger the car. Shes bringing my 3 year old nephew up so figured she'd come up anyway.

    Also, moving on this weekend. We get the keys on Sunday and the removalist is coming at 8 in the morning. Unfortunately, my train leaves about 10 ish so I'm not going to be much good at all. Heres hoping that Rory uses common sense when arranging placement of our furniture. Female common sense not male common sense. or should that be Mummy common sense not Daddy common sense. Either way, I'm in for a shock when I get home and see how it looks. Please wish me luck girls.

    You've a brave woman Kate! Lucky for you it's a woman's prerogative to make her man keep moving the furniture until it's 'just right'. LOL

    MD, for christmas I think I will get W a set of Baby Einstein DVDs. We don't have t.v and he hasn't been that keen when I show him dvds of Elmo, little people etc but DH showed him a Baby Einstein clip the other night and he loved it, waving about and pointing. They seem to have the little clips just long enough that he doesn't lose interest before it shifts to the next one. TBH I thought they were a bit of a have and I don't think it will turn him into a genius but I am hoping they will be a good filler for the end of the day when I have run out of ideas and am waiting for DH to come home lol. We will also get him some sort of outside toy - a wagon or little toddler climbing thing. That is probably all because he will get a few smaller things from the rest of the family. My aunt also had a crazy long labour and when they finally c-sectioned bub out they discovered she had a squarish pelvis and his head was all bruised from being squished against it.

    JG, glad things have settled down re the BH's. I remember what a pain it was for you last time. Have you had the GD test yet?

    Kate, well done at avoiding the moving! $10 trains fares are a bargain!

    Pregpan, have you told your family yet?

    Leanne, bummer about all the doctors visits, but great to hear that J is doing well in the poo department.

    I have just ordered William's bed. I got a king single. I am going to start him having day naps in there when it arrives and hopefully move him into it for night sleeps after we have been away at christmas time. He is still waking about 4 times a night so I am not sure how it will go....
