i too was wondering what Kelly was doing in our thread LOL!
Supa: yup, as MD said i am getting my tonsils out. it was a sordid love affair that went bust.
PP: i think we will all be looking towards eachother when all have our next! soon enough you will be our guru too!
MD: i couldnt help but notice that the cake eating was connected to the health food shop visit...had to have a giggle and agree wholeheartedley.
excuse my ignorance but how do they do biopsies (i should know as i did watch Home and Away last year, but all they showed was 'martha' with tubes up her nose in post op). i hope that it isnt too nasty, and/or they give you loads of happy pain relief on tap.
i will be going private! through the st vincents here in melbourne. so it had better be comfy at $800 a night!
Arte: sounds like W is a man with a mission! chips and boom! lol! love it!
Kate: wow! S down to no sleeps!! that's amazing! does she seem to make the distance of the day?
JaZ: ROFL! i can just imagine you on the trampoline! WTG!!
no, unfortunately no theatrics needed (was kinda looking forward to doing a bold and the beautiful style dramatic pause). going private they do just really like slicing and dicing way too much to argue LOL!
AFM: all good here. saw the worst movie i think i have EVER had the displeasure of sitting through. called "out of order". utter crapola.
we had a lovely day yesterday. the usual mothers group indulgence of coffee and lunch (we have our local cafe situated in a big warehouse with toys so the kids can go nuts). then leila slept for 2 hours and when she woke up told me that she was in a foul mood and i better entertain her, so we jumped in the car and went to the pool for an hour. so much fun!
Clare, I was just coming back to say YAY for finally getting your tonsils out! Must be good to know the problem will soon be gone
MD, Elizabeth Taylor's hair grew back white and fluffy! Eyebrows would worry me too, but you can get cosmetic replacements - not sure how real they look though - might be better to go without than have obvious toupee brows! I can't stop thinking about your breast (lol), well the lump in it. I find it amazing that you had it checked so long ago and they found nada, yet it was there all along. I am glad they didn't find anything amiss while you were preg and away from home, at least now you are in a place to get it all fixed up.
MD you can try out all your hair fantasies with wigs??? there are some that are so wonderfully realisitic - i know afew women who have used them... hmm i wouldnt be wishing for the curls though... seriously from someone who knows they are not all they are cracked up to be LOL! though you can then become a GHD expert like me when you are trying to get rid of them.
ok i need to know, is there a haighs in melbourne? i think so?? i must admit i dont think i have ever had it, and now i MUST! we are there for a week from this weekend so think it'd better be placed on my to do list! clare was going to suggest a catch up maybe (and i love the sound of your cafe, where is it?) but maybe it will coincide with your slice and dice? if not lets plan something (also rainy and all the other melb mums, IT'S TIME LADIES!!).
I totally fell for the pic of kelly, i was like does sherie know her av is stuffed??
Well as for me, i havent had much news of late. am suffering a bit as i have an unstable pelvis (is this what you had in preg MD) - OUCH! been to physio which is good and looking fwd to yoga today as maybe that will help now i know what tje prob is. i feel like such a whinger this time, it just hasnt been as easy as last! that said we have now agreed on a name and the little one is basivally a footballer in my tum so lots of kicks all the time which i am loving! N is going through a terrible terrible sleep time, i think i told you all about it a while back up for hours in the night etc etc, stillgoing on, he is still getting his incisors and is in pain poor little mite. his walking is amazing now and new fave work (complete with action some of the time) is RUN! he is a delight!
i have put in my leave forms for mat leave - about 10-11 weeks to go - YEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Trill - or should I say Kelly! ZOO STORIES...ZOO STORIES...ZOO STORIES!!! Wanna hear the fun you had.
Supa - Poor you guys with being sick. I don't think your supposed to go when sick just in case bubs has a reaction after the jab then they can't tell if it was from the runny nose before or from the vaccinations. (I think)
Arte - so cute about his sentances! And love the firebug...what is it with boys and blowing ***** up lol
MD - I too love the fact the you've got cake and health food shop with a few words of each other!
Cassius - No day sleeps definately wasn't by my choice but yep, she seems to last the distance. Gets a bit feral at 5ish but most kids do anyway don't they? Last night she was worse than normal so put her to bed at 6.30 instead of 7 and she was fine. Didn't hear from her until 6am which is great in my book.
PAP - So what name have you chosen hey...?! Woohoo on the mat leave coming up!
MD, I suppose one positive to take from it is that with the lump being there all that time and only now finding out, is that you could have been riddled with it by now if it were aggressive kwim? So I would assume that if it's not aggressive then it will respond well to treatment? Most people I know who go through chemo get curly hair when it grows back. But my Mums partner didn't lose any hair at all when he was having chemo earlier this year for bladder cancer. I just feel so helpless about it all though.
No pee-your-pants-funny stories from the zoo, but he really loved it. He did get a bit confused when we were watching the meerkats though and he kept meowing and he was totally enraptured by them. Every time we saw a new animal though, he was like "over there!" and pointing to it. By the end of the day he was completely over it and sick of being put in and out of the stroller and car (cause you can walk or drive, so we took the cars as we had a picnic lunch) and as we were leaving we didn't even get to the front exit before he was asleep LOL. Oh, he did get to pat a Galapagos Tortoise too - it was next to the fence and the enclosure is really low, so I leaned him over for a pat LOL. Probably not meant to do that though But the downside of the trip is that his sleeping has gone to the pack and he's funny about me putting him in his cot and leaving him there. While we were away he would only settle to sleep if I was holding him and he was up so often in the night I had to resort to cosleeping again so I could at least get some sleep. Made me glad we didn't take a proper holiday just yet.
PP: yay on finding a name! it's so nice when you can start talking to them with their name IMO...
the haighs store is in the city (the one i know of anyway). it is in the gallery between the collins st section (you know the slightly more upmarket one...arrgh i just lost the name as i began typing LOL!)
Kate: well yeah, they all are feral (i hope ) at that time so i guess she's doing well! and great that it means she is sleeping in a bit longer too.
MELB GIRLS: def would love to make it...probably can't this time (go in on tuesday and will no doubt be grumpy boots for the rest of the week). unless we meet on the weekend beforehand.....
Trill - sounds like you had fun. I'm now thinking i might take the girls to the zoo over the easter hols. I'm sure Hannah would love it. (although I have emu issues - last time we went to Australia Zoo there were emu chicks. Jessica had walked over near the fence and i just reached her in time before the mother/father ? pecked her.
pap - wooohoo on the mat leave. I hope those toofie pegs come through quickly for N. He's such a gorgeous little thing.
clare - lol on the bold and beautiful pause. I reckon 15 minutes of the half hour episode is just made up of staring. lol.
arte - i bet W looooves his Milo. I'm sure Hannah would love it too - might give it to her for an afternoon treat today.
md - The chemo my mum was on did make her hair fall out. She too chose to shave it off before it fell out. It was good because she came over to my place and we did it in front of the girls so they didn't get as much of a shock. Mum used to wear scarves - as the wig (there is a pic of Hannah wearing it on FB) used to annoy the crapola out of her. Jess and Zoe put undies on their heads one day and said they were Nanny. it was too funny. That is so great that your sis is going to shave it with you - what a wonderful friend to have
Hannah had her needle on Monday, and today she hasn't been herself. She is fine one moment and the next throwing herself on the floor for no reason - kicking and stretching her legs as if she had growing pains. My poor little chicken.
She's also taken to wanting to be put straight into her cot instead of having our special cuddle. Cheeky monkey.
speaking of feeling guilty this week - my dh (not standing for dear husband in this instance!!!) decided to make the rest of my day crappy. The girls were at each other, yelling about who was making funny faces at who, and i lost it a little and raised my voice several times. Nothing incredibly bad though. Dh (still not dear husband!) thought he'd make a comment that i sound like a banshee. (of course he's laying in bed while he hears me ) Then in the car (made me go out of my way to drop him off at the station) says' I don't know how you can enjoy life yelling at the girls all of the time'. I apologised to the girls (not in front of him) and then thought - hang on- you two were little turds this morning.
sorry everyone. what a bloody rant!!!! Kate - have been thinking about the words you used to describe the person who ran into you in the car (are you okay? ) and i've been throwing it around a bit in my head today lol.
JaZ: sounds like one of those crapola days all round for you today! hugs sweet! and DHs sometimes just totally miss the mark by a bizillion miles. hope he has a good think about it while at work!
Just a quick question....didnt want to post it anywhere in particular yet, just with you girls...
i have found my half-brother....(on the net of course LOL!). do you think it would be wise of me to make contact? i am insanely curious (there is some resemblance between us)...BUT i am fairly certain that he has no idea that he even has an older sister...what do you think?? arrghhhh.
ooooh Clare. That is amazing. How old is he? I don't think i should comment, because as you are probably aware I am a major fan of Find my Family, and bawl every time I watch it. So i may be a bit biased. How did you track him down?
Last night she was worse than normal so put her to bed at 6.30 instead of 7 and she was fine. Didn't hear from her until 6am which is great in my book. 
Woohoo on the mat leave coming up!
) at that time so i guess she's doing well! and great that it means she is sleeping in a bit longer too.
