Hi everyone
Sorry this is a real quickie - i haven't kept up all week and i've missed out on so much. (as per usual )
Ange - congratulations on the birth of precious Saskia! I love the name. Hope they're treating you like royalty at the Hyatt!
Cindy - congratulations on the birth of little Morgan. Hope everyone is doing well
Katie - that's terrible about your BIL. I hope everything is ok.
MM - so glad you had a wonderful holiday. Hope your mil is ok tomorrow. (if she's not tell her to drink a concrete milkshake)
Clare - you poor munchkin! I so hope you're feeling better soon.
Arte - your little William is such a clever little man. Aren't they just wonderful!
Hannah and I had a wonderful week last week - because we didn't go anywhere. After we took the girls to school we came home and played, instead of going to the shops.
She's started learning how to spell!!! (kind of anyway) Zoe is always asking me how to spell words, so i'm always yelling out letters. Hannah started the other day saying "a e e e i". She's such a hoot!
Have a good night's sleep everyone.
Wow Cindy CONGRATULATIONS on the safe arrival of not-so-little Morgan! So happy for you!
Arte - YES PLEASE!! I have just watched the ep where they arrive at their destination and all is not as expected. . Anyway I will send you a season of B&TG so you can get a taste for it! LOL What colour are you going for in the lounge? I'm thinking of having a feature wall of warm caramel - once my 1974 fake wood panelling comes down LOL.
Katie - OMG how is your BIL - I'm hoping he's actually in better shape than they first suspected...do hope he's ok. xxx
MM - so happy for you, wishing you a speedy TTC journey!
JaZaH - woohoo for your good week. That spelling is precious! Missy E thinks she can sing - it's quite obvious she's got a tune going in her head ...but we can't work out what it is! LOL
Cally, is it worth putting K into her bed with a couple of books/a story or some music on a tape, so she has a quiet 'rest' and you get some quiet time...it sounds like she's not past needing a sleep, so 'rest time' can be a good segue into that.
Clare, good luck with your appt today - do hope it's good news for you but bad news for the tonsies. LOL Have you talked to your hpath yet?
Well, I'd better go, Roary's on, it means a bit of P&Q so I can wade thru a few more articles...assignment due on Friday. Dreamed about it all night.
hi everyone!
MM welcome back!! i have been thinking of you and wondering how you were and how the ILs went with M. well on the positive it sounds like they coped and so did she (and you guys) for the 10 days..thye flip side of that is the know it all factor - man that would kill me!!!!!!! you are her mummy and you know her best my dear///. and what is with wanting to hang around all weekend? my ILS would be the same, in fact they are landing on our doorstep next weekend bc it suits them - never asked if the dates are good for me (it is not convenient timing at all).
N had his 1st ever sleep over last night - at my mums while DH and i were in our hotel (across the road!!) - i was so nervous about it but thought of you! it went ok, well he got up for 4 hrs from midnight and played.... but we all surivived and bizarrely mum isnt put off!!! we had a wedding so got in close to 1am but it was bizarre to wake up without my little man. we will def do it again, good to get him used to it.
Katie - how is your BIL?
Cally - good to see you and glad you had fun in canb. cant believe your niece is 1. time flies...
Rainy - where do i see these pics?
ooh glad ange has been relocated to the park hyatt - so lush. maybe she could hide there for a few weeks while they sort out her housing!
Clare - i cant find the old thread so dont know what is up? i hope you are ok. poor thing.
MM - wooooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooo on the TTC! i will now be looking for any hints in your posts that you are UTD! maybe a sneaky honeymoon baby....
Well i think we have decided on a name.. finally. was worried this little one would come out and have no name for a year!
hi to all = still in melb but home tonight.. will be on more tomorrow. xxx
ps so funny for the weddinbg yest (which was one of my closest friends) i ended up wearing a dressi wore to another close friends wedding last time i was preg - all in the same group but it is simple black dress and i accessoried differently - wanted ot get a new one but a) had no time and b) was too hot on sat!!. anyway DH and mum spent hours telling me no one would notice, not about what i am wearing etc etc etc... walked into the ****tail reception and the bride comes over and says 'i have apic on my mirror of you in that dress!!' (she lives oseas atm) and then 3 other people within 5 mins make the same comment..... funny.... and sad. anyway managed to convince dh i def need a new preg formal dress for my cousins wedding in 2 weeks...
Just wanted to quickly jump on and update you all. BIL will have surgery to put pins in his spine sometime today, they need to wait for the internal bleeding to slow as they cant find where it is coming from, if it doesnt slow they will have to operate to find the bleed then do the spine surgery. If it was anyone other then my BIL I would be far more worried, he is a tough little bugger. I have my FIL & SIL coming up tomorrow for a few days. Have my 12 week scan tomorrow so will pop in and see BIL then. DH is off to the hospital again today.
I am sorry for the selfish posts. I will try and catch up tonight.
well katie at least he is getting good care and he sounds very strong... assume he is conscious etc etc? how is he coping?
good luck with your scan - cant wait to hear all about your little bubble!
xxx
Katie- Sorry to hear about your BIL. Hope things work out ok.
Very quickly........ i havn't read anything, excet Katies post. Just have a few mins on a PC. Will be the last time for a while......
Just wanted to say.... thanks for all your love and support leading up to Saskia's birth. And all your lovely comments and well wishes. You girls are great.
The birth was amazing, all that i hoped for and more. The little monkey was posterior and didn't want out, but with a little turning from OB(and alot of yelling from me. )she came out A-ok! I managed to avoid any drugs, although at about 9cm i was beginning to wonder why. LOL
Once her head and shoulders were out, my OB told me to grab her, so i reached down, pulled her out and put her on my chest. It was awesome! Still buzzing on the hormones, not looking forward to the fall.
We have a house to move into, friends and family been working all weekend trying to get it sorted. Will head up there tomorrow, but no internet. So will be a while till i'm on line as we will have to organise a new satellite etc. Thanks again to you all. See you in a few weeks! xxxx
Scan went great, very healthy little bubble. I am a little disappointed I didn't get any pictures to bring home though.
Cally I have no idea re the FB question. Would be good to know though.
MD I keep telling myself the same thing with regards to BIL having some healing time. I am just frustrated for him. My fingers are crossed surgery will be soon and he can start to heal. Lucky you got your wallet back.
Better go and finish cleaning before FIl *groans* gets here.
Katie, hope everything goes well with your BIL's op. So horrible seeing healthy people suddenly in hospital, how is your DH?
MD, great minds think alike! My lounge is now a sandy/caramel colour. It is called Pristine Sand in the Dulux effects range (Tuscan). It is really relaxing and warm and the added texture has hidden many imperfections in the walls lol. PM me your address and I will post BSG over, I am on a downer after the finale though.
Cindy, congrats on your little boy!
MM, exciting about TTC! Glad you guys had a good holiday. Your MIL would get on my nerves big time, I don't think I could be as polite as you
PAP, lol about the dress, how embarrassing! Although I would wear the same thing to multiple occasions, especially maternity dresses because it isn't like you get much wear out of them. Yay for N's first sleep over. We are miles from that yet, he hasn't even had a babysitter during the day yet lol
Ange, FB said you have a house, so a big fat Yay!!! That must be a relief. The pics of little Saskia are adorable, her and Jimmy are going to make a cute cute couple.
Hi Everyone...just wanted to say how happy I am for Ange and her birthing of Saskia! Sounds fantastic and great news about the house as well.
Clare - I hope they get those frikken annoying tonsils out asap!
JG - congrats on the birth of Morgan!
Arte - W had me in stitches thinking about his quacking hut.
Katie - best of luck for your BIL! fingers crossed
Sorry if I've forgotten anyone! Not much to report here...Sarah is having a very funky time with sleeping at the moment but I think its got to do with her dad being away. It started while he was gone and I'm struggling to sort her out again. That being said...I'm off to bed just in case its another bad night with her.
