Love the new av Clare, very cool!
So.....who can keep a secret? ;)
omg!!!! you're pregnant!!!!!!
i'm so happy!!!
gypsy....where are you??? i need to know, i'm dying here!!!
AH-HA!!! I knew something was up when you still didn't have your af yet. If you can't get a good night sleep while she is in your bed, then I would put her back into her bed. Its not really habit forming, because they certainly aren't still in your bed when they are 15 LOL, but it becomes a practicality thing IMO, like it's not practicle to have them in your bed if you can't sleep a wink while they are there kwim?
G, you will be fine when he's at kindy. And I bet you will miss him more than he will miss you LOL, it's always the way :rolleyes:. How long is he going for?
Arte, dont' worry about the nay-sayers, you know what he is able to do and we know what he is able to do and we love hearing about it. One day they will see just how gorgeous and capable he is and then they will have to believe it.
Clare, the world has a house out there for you somewhere. You will know when it's the *right* one.
Have been doing loads of baking today. I haven't done any for ages but I decided to hook in and make enough to last the week.
trill- what are you baking?
he's going to kindy from 9am-12pm on monday. i'm a bit worried cos he's been getting tired earlier and went down for his morning sleep at10.45 this morning. i hope he lasts the distance!
girls what should i pack for a snack for kindy? i'm thinking a mandarin and a pack of sultanas. is that enough?
Gypsy - where are you? We're all very good at secrets!
Rainy - that sounds like plenty for a morning tea, you can always chuck in some water crackers or something if you're worried. I'm sure he will be fine and have a ball!
Arte - definitely keep telling us about W, I love hearing all the stories about him.
Noni - did you have any luck with council and your bond?
Clare - funky av!
K and I are in print - a friend sent a photo of a bunch of us from school with all our bubs and it's in the magazine from my old school (in the 'old girls' section!!)
G, I made a buttercake and two slices, one of which I am about to post the recipe for because OMG it's sooooo good! I would pack twice as much food as you think he will need - the mandarin, sultanas and some crackers - preferably go for low GI snacks or otherwise he will get the sugar rush and then crash and burn, when they are at kindy they are constantly on the go and they are usually ravenous by the time they have something to eat and the low GI will sustain him for longer.
ROFL at you being an 'old girl' Cally. Which school did you go to?
SnaP! Trill I was going to say the same thing - pack cheese and crackers, or some little sandwiches, or even some carby dry breakfast cereal to munch on. Plus the fruit and sultanas. How exciting, I'm sure he will have a great day!
Gypsy, I think maybe *everyone* has guessed what your "secret" might be. LOL and jumping little joyjumps for you hun, if that's what it is!!
Arte - I think the key with second children is - expect the unexpected. I only have to think about how different I am from my sister to know that's true! LOL
Spunky Av, Clare!! Very noice. Love that you managed to console yourself over the house by going clothes shopping ROFL! I bet your hair looks fantastic. I'm getting mine chopperooed into a total dykey-do tomorrow.
AFM - bit of a quiet weekend, spent *all* my money buying whiz-bang herbs and supplements at the naturopaths yesterday...trying to think where I can materialise more cash from so I can keep my "habit" going for the next 3.5 months LOL! BTW my chemo starts on Monday 25th (eek) and the word on the street is H-A-I-R-L-O-S-S so I've got a few weeks to funkify my hat & scarf collection. Good thing it's winter, hey? Anyway I told my sister that if it all comes out I want to get the most amazing gnarly henna tattoo all over my scalp...and guess what? She signed up for a henna tattooing course! :D Ain't life grand?
MD, mums partner didn't lose any hair at all, not that he had much to begin with ROFL as he's nearly bald anyway, but yeah, he never lost any. Apparently a lot of people have it come back really curly at first too. I love the idea of a henna tattoo on your head.
mmm buttercake is my fave...we're about to make a sultana cake.
ok, i'll add some cheese and crackers for him too...i can't believe how nervous i am!
md-what's your tatt gonna be?
I have secretly desired to have curly hair my whole life...please please please! LOL. Though they also say it "might grow back a different colour" and I'm wondering if this is a euphemism for "you will go grey overnight"??? :o
ETA - re the henna tatt - prolly just a large swirly design... based on middleastern motifs - will research the symbology of things like life, love, health and get those in there too. Chuck a few arcane symbols on too, mebbe. :p
hi girls!
Gypsy: :dance::dance::dance: if it's what we are ALL thinking it is...then this a very big (but very very quiet LOL!) "YAY"
MD: hmm i'd also smell a rat if they used such airy fairy language as 'hair colour change'...
and yeah, you do need quite the oil baron income when it comes to anything non-conventional medicine. do you have a PHI that may fork out some of the outlay?
Sherie: so so jealous of your baking prowess. i am such a failure when it comes to anything with ovens and sweets. urgh. although i do live in hope so have opened up your slice recipe thread LOL!
Cally: eeek! i think i would have palpitations if i was in any school magazine now LOL! i haven't aged gracefully LOL!
AFM: well spent half the day at the camberwell baby and kids market. spent $40 bucks but have picked up a pair of mittens, some french designer velvet pants, a fiona scanlan top, this cool danish whistle toy, a brand new funky organic cotton skirt with cool stencil pattern on the front and a gorgeous swedish couture (brand new!!) dress (it has these cute little beads and stitching soooo divine! so between that and yesterdays haul, leila is decked out this winter and coming spring! so happy. all her clothes were starting to be kindy-outted LOL!
Sorry for keeping you all waiting. Well AF was due last Tues/Wed & I thought AF was on her way on Friday so I put in a pad & forgot about it. However by Sat arvo, still nothing. I had a couple of tests left so I quickly did one on Sat night before jumping in to the shower, expecting a neg, but there was definately two lines - a positive!!! So I tested again this morning, & a positive result again. Both times the lines have been pretty faint, so I decided to buy one of those clear blue digitial tests this arvo & it came up 'not pregnant'. So hmmm!! I dont know, I just read on google that the clearblue digital are not very sensitive, so I might have to wait a couple more days before re testing to see if the line gets darker. So I guess I am utd - I dont know, what do you all reckon? It would definately explain my symptoms and the just knowing this was it iykwim??
Sorry I have not been a very good baby buddy of late girls, will try and jump on and explain later.
Just wanted to say OMG congrats H thats the most awesome news.
oooh Gypsy! it sounds purty good!!!!!!!!!!! :dance:
Oz: it's just awesome to see you, even if it's just a quick pop in!
AFM: about to log off and go to bed....such a nanna these days. DH has been asleep for an hour already...:rolleyes:
Gypsy, sounds like your gypsy magic IS working!!! :dance: Def test again in a day or two!!
Gypsy- !! Oh my goodness, I am SO excited for you! I have told DH and everything... Lol. He says 2 lines is 2 lines. I also informed him proudly that ur DD bday is the same as T's. Ha ha hint hint....
MD- wow re henna tatt. If ur hair does grow back it won't grow where the tatt is though will it? Would love to see ur design when u find one. Good luck with your chemo. I wanted to meet up b4. Should we wait now til u feel up to it?
Ozstar-hope everything is ok.
Will post later.... Got inspired by u guys + have borrowed Twilight book#1 from a friend.
Gypsy-opps my DD bday is 26 not 27. Oh boy I have lost my mind! Shhhh don't tell her!
