omg i am about to scream!! i wrote a really long post yesterday FULL of personals...(i promise i did LOL) and posted - and it isnt there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am so frustrated!! so sorry if i mis things or the post is not up to scratch, i dont have the energy to do it ALL again in depth but i am feeling like a bad buddie at the moment not contributing much. i have been reading and thinking of yoi all - but some goes in and out of sieve brain in record time i must admit!
I wanna see these pics of Hayley! it sounds gorgeous. hope she is loving the honeymoon, i am dying to hear how it all went.
Arte - LOL at the boat trip - eeewwww! i am so much bigger this preg as well. the heartburn is here with avengence (even worse than with N) too! How funny when W learns the name the noises the animals make disappear - N is a bit the same - though some have names and some have sounds now...
Clare - well i prob would pay the $75 but i have NO idea. to make you feel better my SIL and BIL paid $135 for my nephews 1st shoes - got totally guilted with the 'these are best for their feet' line at some special shop in chaddy... btw how is the house hunt going? yay for a trip to tassie - that should be lovely.
Trill - ouch on the mirena - you have had a rough trot. how is the arm? good going on the shopping!
Katie - how are you feeling?
Noni - wooooooooo hooooooooooooooo 2 days to go!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ange - you poor poor thing, i dont know how you deal with it all and keep such high spirits. you are amazing. eagerly awaiting news from you and your PIG!! LOL!
Rainy - get under the sheridan honey - you deserve it! LOL at L and the doughnuts. yo do what you want re the birth control - your life honey! i am glad the IL trip went better than you expected - helps to have low expectations LOL!
Cally - so good to see you i had been wondering where you were and missing you.
MD - no curtain advice i am afraid - there aint a domestic goddess bone in this body! how is the FDC search going now - did you meet that lady? how is DH finding his new job btw?
ok better go.... dh isputting N to bed and i am meant to be cooking dinner...
btw made some 'fried rice' for N tonight and he loved it (sherie thought a good pasta alternative) - cooked some brown rice. stor fried heap of vegies with some teriyaki sauce (i used peas, broccoli, carrot and cauli bc thats what i had on hand), added a small tin tuna for protein and then stirred through the rice... at thr last minute i beat an egg and cooked it through the rice. this made enough for prob 3 meals for N and he was wolfing it down. kinda like a cross b/n risotto and fried rice i guess - and a big hit! just thought i would post it as an idea for a quick meal if anyone is stuck as i have been of late.
Arte:
Jacks day naps have decreased in time but his nite ones have slightly increased. Alex, when I can get thim down, is still day napping.
Sun was out this morning so took the opportunity to take the boys to the pool but Alex was a horror & it was a carnival day where there are lots of schools & they are trying to find the best to rep the region ... then this arvo i cleared out the lounge room & the boys went nuts on their quad bikes & then on the push bikes! haha
selfish post ahead...sorry
My sis is 41 weeks and went into hospital to be induced today as bubs is very sleepy. All is going well and tomorrow they will break her waters. Hopefully I am an aunty by tomorrow night. While I am super excited I cant help but be incredibly sad that I cant be there. Its an 11 hour drive and flights are to dear. We are going to Syd in two weeks and will see her then but its not the same. Its times like these I hate living so far away from our families. L wont really know any of his cousins or family. I am sure it is partly the pg hormones kicking in but I just feel so sad while feeling so excited at the same time.
Katie - big big . I know how it feels, you just want to be there with them, don't you.
PP - good to hear from you sweets! ARgh at getting your post munched. Meeting FDC lady on Friday. Have a good feeling, keep your fingers crossed for us. DH is being loved at his new-old job (whipping them into shape LOL) but hasn't started his new-new job yet. But no one minds cos they're lapping him up at his new-old job.
Katie - big hugs to you (auntie??) - i totally get where you are coming from, ioftenfeel the same way - moreso being here than when i was in london bizarrely. is there anychance you will move back to syd at some point?
MD glad dh is doing well.. and good luck at FDC. My FDC lady has been away all week - i think that the baby died (the one with the horrible heart issues) - she was on life support last thu and it was not looking good. have been v upset about it and for the family (my fdc ladyalsolost a son toa similar issue when he was a baby and i think this has brought a lot of that backtoher). anyone got nay idreas what i can do for fdc lady (she is the great aunt of the baby, but a close family).
Andie - sounds like a fun day with your boys!

I am finally an aunty!!!!!! Yay
eta It is a little baby girl, no weights etc yet. My sis said when they took her down to the labour ward she was 9.5cm already so was only in there for about an hour. Her name is Lillian Josie.
Congrats Ozstar!! Yay, sounds like everything went well. Bub must have been ready to make an entrance!
MD, tell me what I am having!! No Beauty and the Geek here, we only just got T.V again and it is only one fuzzy channel lol Sadly I would love to have a nerd-meet but I don't know any here. I had finally found an equally nerdy group in Brisbane to hang out with just before I left. I find associating with chemists greatly increases my chance of finding nerds lol
PAP, yes the grudge does extend to cake, I am more of a biscuit and slice person now lol
Well I had a BB dream last night - in it I was PREGNANT (!!) lOl - and had just started to feel my baby fluttering. I went to a morning tea (or was it a tupperware party) in Sale Vic and our good thread buddie Arte was there, handing around a plate of muffins. PMSL. I'm just sorry none of you other ladies made it to the morning tea, those muffins were goooood!
Noni - OMG I can't believe it's nearly tomorrow already!!! Don't know if you're going to be online at all but if you are, I'm thinking of you and hoping you have a gorgeous day tomorrow! I'm sooooo excited for you! Do you have everything all ready or are you hitting the flat panic stage?? LOL Make sure you post some photies ASAP - I bet little A will just look adorable.
Missy E has just leant to climb. She keeps insisting on standing up on the coffee table to dance. I can't think for the life of me where she gets the dancing-on-the-table tendencies from (*looks away and whistles a tune*). LOL
Katie, how is your sister going? Are you an aunty yet?
And how are you going Ange - still hanging in there, hun?
Ok, I'm schlepping around online cos I'm getting my boob lump needled today and so I need some distraction until then! I'm a bit of a nervous nellie these days. *sigh* It's probably just normal breast tissue like it has been every other time I've had it checked but these days I've got the c-word on the brain. I'm guessing it will be another week before I get the results so I'm really going to need to get out more! It might be time for some retail therapy LOL
ETA - Pregpan, that's so sad. I'm not sure there's anything you can do when someone loses someone except a hug, flowers, a thoughtful card. Telling your FDC lady you are thinking of her, acknowledge both of her losses, is probably all she needs right now. Except a casserole - maybe you could cook something and bring it to her - a really practical way of saying "we're here for you". xxx
PP - I was going to suggest the same as MD, cook her something. I think it's a lovely idea and a personal thing to do. Wow, $135 for baby shoes!
MD - good luck with the big needle. I've had that done a couple of times, it can be pretty stressful. can't believe I missed Arte's muffins!! good luck with FDC tomorrow
Katie - are you an aunty yet?
Noni - good luck for tomorrow, I hope you have a lovely time and it all goes very smoothly!!
Ange - I have everything crossed you find a place soon.
First thing Alex does this morning after seeing Jack on his bike is go & bring his bike in!
Sorry, no personals ATM, my mind isn't exactly with me
Think I have found a Sol in regards to family matters ... his advice, i don't have to give my ex nothing ATM (in regards to having the boys overnight, esp for the week he is asking for) & when he rings, tell him i want a legal aid conference & then I am to contact the Sol back
PAP, that is incredibly sad about your FDC lady. How horrible, especially having lost her own child to a similar thing.
MD, how did the needle biopsy go? Is this the same lump you had looked at when we were preg? Maybe you are tuned into me somehow, I think I have had slight flutters from my bub the past couple of days. As for muffins, I can bake them but chose not to - I hold a grudge from a time when we were given muffins at a nerd-meet at school (for extra exams I was sitting!!!) and I ate a banana one that made me feel ill as soon as I ate it and then a while later I vomitted right in the middle of computer class. It was incredibly embarrassing and I have held it against muffins ever since lol
Noni, ONE MORE SLEEP!! So excited for you, can't wait to see some pics.
Katie, I know exactly how you feel. The day my cousin/best friend had her baby daughter I cried and cried, because I wasn't there to share any of it. It is important times like that when it really hits home how much you miss living away from family. But on the flipside, you get a fantastic lifestyle on the GC, you would have to sell your soul to be that close to the beach in Sydney.
LOL at you all savouring the rain! You can have some of ours. It is flipping cold and it snowed on the mountain yesterday. The other day I hung out the washing but it rained so I bought it in, then it got sunny again so I put it back out only for it to start raining 10 minutes later. So I put it in the dryer and then it cleared up for the rest of the day. Grrr.
. I know how it feels, you just want to be there with them, don't you. 
I can't think for the life of me where she gets the dancing-on-the-table tendencies from (*looks away and whistles a tune*). LOL
