MD, the last ever Battlestar is downloading as I type. I am sadly super-excited. Looks like your DH and I share a similar theory on Thrace. I guess they don't call her Starbuck as much now because she doesn't fly much? Did you want the last episodes sent over? I am already under orders from my bro to send them his way as soon as the last one is off the press.
Rainy, OMG he is adorable! I used to have a little bubba like that It has gone so quickly
Clare, glad you had a good holiday, sorry you came back to more tonsillitis. You need to move to the country, it is the city life upsetting your chi (sorry, I think I hear my granddad talking lol)
Busy day here today, DH is looking after W for the ENTIRE weekend so I can get the lounge painted. Have done the ceiling and trims, tomorrow is the exciting part - new colour day! DH took W to the Rodeo and all afternoon he kept saying a combo of 'dada, William, motorbike, rodeo', he was pretty excited.
W showed his first bit of imagination the other day: he is obessed with huts and loves to crawl under things and proclaim them a 'William hut' (the smallest being a hanky over his face lol). The other day he had an old sheet off the bed and sat under it and said 'quacking hut' and sat there quacking in it! It is only that specific sheet that becomes a quacking hut, he sounds adorable in there practicing his quacking (DH has been practicing a duck caller for duck season)
Wedding was fab, had an excellent day. Everything went very smoothy, had a few minor issues like a button came off my dress, the music didnt play, forgot my parents corsages etc etc but we didnt let anything worry us we just went with the flow. We really enjoyed ourselves, and now I am a wifey!! The honeymoon was awesome, & to tell the truth DH (DH, wow so weird!!) & I didnt start to miss M until two days prior to us leaving for home. We were so relaxed about it all, we knew she was in good hands, so we just enjoyed ourselves really. We sent a few txt's to check all was fine now & then. Spent many many days poolside sunbaking and reading, while watching the parents chasing after their toddlers thinking woo hoo for me lol. Mind you couldnt resist playing in the pool on a daily basis with a cute 18 month old dutch girl, she was beautiful, & I now know a few dutch words! When we landed I bawled my eyes out when I saw M, she has grown in that short time. However she just looked at us as if to say oh yeah I remember you, big deal! So I was so glad to see she hadnt worried about us or felt any anxiety. She is now saying duck (in laws have chickens) & yes. We bought so many clothes, designer stuff over there is decently priced & even just non brand stuff is cheap as chips & really good. They have some unusual things that you wouldnt find in boring Perth. Got way too many shoes.
On a crappy note, had a little tiff with the in laws yesterday. They had planned on spending the weekend with us, as in Fri, Sat & Sun. However DH & I wanted to relax with M after not seeing her for almost 2 weeks & just sleep & relax after our flight during the night, as we both didnt sleep at all. So for one that peeved us off but we got on with it. Then however MIL kept saying dont do this, dont do that, she likes this, she doesnt like that, you need to do this & on & on when it came to M. The last straw was when I made M weetbix & MIL stood over me & said no you have made it too runny start again. So i cracked it & said do you think you know my daughter better than me, I am sick of you always undermining me, I've been her mum now for 18 months I think I know what I am doing. Of course I didnt mean for it to come out so *****y but I was tired & grumpy & fed up with her. So they basically packed up & went home. So I will speak to her tomorrow & explain how I feel in nicer words, dont want her to think we dont appreciate all they do for M & us & especially for taking M while we honeymooned, but still girls I am so at the end of all this iykwim.
Hope you are all well. What did I miss? Noni loved the wedding pics, glad to see you had a nice day. Congrats on the new lounge. How are all the preggie mummies & has Ange popped yet? Rainy hope all is going well with your precious new bundle.
Exciting news, I have stopped the pill so hopefully things will get back to normal asap as we want another one to come along.
aww hayley- i can so relate to you on the mil issues. she gives you such a hard time, you poor thing...big hugs xoxox
glad you had such a great time, your photos looked gorgeous
ange had a little girl- Saskia- on thursday. she's been relocated to the Park Hyatt hotel now...and sounds like she's relaxing and enjoying her new bub
Just quickly wanted to let you all know that Cindy (joel'sgirl) had her baby boy yesterday. A very healthy 9lb 10oz named Morgan Lane. Official announcement in the birth announcement threads.
MM: welcome back babe! your holiday looked awesome! wish i was lounging poolside somewhere...
Sorry to hear that relations with the MIL are still pretty crapulent. in all honesty, i dont think you were out of line, she was. i wouldnt stand for someone trying to tell me how to make weetbix!
JG: CONGRATS on your baby boy!!
Arte: i know, i need to get some fresh air. i have only ever been this sick since moving here to melbourne...maybe i am allergic!
that is so cute about W in his duck hut!! they are too cute these little terrors!
Rainy: OMG! jimmy is just perfect!!! what a gorgeous mop of hair! did L have this too??
Jimmy was exactly to the gram 1kg more than leila (she came early...) it was SOOO weird seeing that number on the scale in his picture! LOL! i had to do a double take!
AFM: well sick as here, but holding fort. have bought enough antibacterial mouthwash and antiseptic gargles to sustain 3 nations, but hey, i am getting desperate!
Leila is awesome as usual! (mummy bias raging here!). Lots of 'talking' going on with sentences that have maybe 2-3 words and the rest is still made up of attempts. just loving it though, she is turning out to be a mega cuddler and now comes in of the morning and demands kisses!! love it!
MM glad to hear you had a good trip. Hopefully now you have said something to MIL she backs off a little.
Clare I hope you get better real soon, I cant imagine how tough it must be for you lately being so sick all the time.
Arte PMSL at duck hut, W is so clever.
Well I was having a great weekend until and hour ago when we got a call to say BIL came off his motorbike and is in hospital with internal bleeding, and cracked vertebrae one of which may leave him paralyzed. DH has gone to the hospital now. I am trying not to worry.
On a happier note Logan is having his first sleep in his big bed.
Ange - Congratulations on the birth of little Saskia!! Looking forward to seeing some pics!!
Cindy - Congratulations to you on little Morgan!! Well done!!
Katie - I hope your BIL is OK.
Clare - your photos looked great, I so want to go to Tassie!! pooey to those tonsils!!
MM - your photos also looked awesome, so jealous of a lovely holiday relaxing by the pool!!
Noni - glad you had a good day for the wedding and a great honeymoon.
Leanne - hope the new wheels are going well!!
Not having much luck with day sleeps here. Fri was 45 min, yesterday an hour, today 45 mins. I've put her back down and we've had 30mins of slight whinging interspersed with quiet periods where I get my hopes up. Hopefully she drops off soon.
We've had a good weekend away in Canberra for my niece's 1st birthday. K was just gorgeous, kept leaning in to give her kisses!!
It has gone so quickly
