gypsy- both times with the boys when i first poas it was really really faint....so i would say conratulations!!!! how exciting...now we've just gotta think of names...LOL..i'm so happy for you!!!
well it's nearly time to take lewis to kindy.we've just spent thelast 2hours cuddling on the couch watching teletubbies and yo gabba gabba. idk if i've made the right decision, he's still such a baby sometimes, i'm just getting cold feet i think, idk if he's ready yet.....is this more of that bl88dy mothers guilt?
-
H, I have neve gotten a really dark line on a test, even when I was a fair way along. So CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! It's so exciting!
G, I guess maybe it's more to do with this being the first real time he's being looked after by someone outside the family/friend circle kwim? I'm sure he's more than ready, he is such a social and happy little boy. And when you pick him up I bet he will have a fistfull of artworks that he's done ready for you to stick on the fridge :hug:
Clare, did you make the slice last night? I lost inspiration for ages cause I had a crappy stove that didn't work and would either burn or undercook things, so the mojo came back when I got a new stove. WOOHOO on the bargains too, the little dress sounds gorgeous. I love being able to buy flashy stuff like that for next to nothing.
Not much happening today. I really have to get stuck into my room though because it's just become a dumping ground lately for everything that can't fit anywhere else in the house and it's starting to bug me that I don't have a tidy room.
-
Rainy- I can understand u r feeling bad but Lewis will love it! When u pick him up he'll b excited 2 c u. Yeah and I agree he will have a load of artwork for u + will b flat out telling u all about it.
Trill-good luck with ur room, I'll b proud of u if u can get it sorted today! It feels so good when u clean up ur bedroom-its more relaxing, and can do a lot for the libido! LOL. If that's what u want.
Gypsy-everyone is calling u 'H' I think I've missed something!

Gypsy, Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you, how exciting! Don't worry too much about the digital test, it is probably too early to get a positive result in the arvo.
Rainy, hope kindy is going well. I always pack a heap of food when we go to playcenter etc because at home he will only eat a cracker or biscuit between breakfast and lunch but when he sits down at playcenter he will eat a sandwich, peice of fruit, two biscuits, chippies and still want what other kids have!
SupaB, I wrote W's birthday on the chart on the wall at playcentre, then realised I had the wrong date! So embarrassing, had to tell the supervisor so I could change it to the correct date.
MD, I strongly suspect the 'grow back a different colour' is a nice way of saying 'you might go grey/white'. I am sure that is just a minority though, hopefully you get to keep all your dykey-do.
-
Gypsy- I say a positive is a positive! Mine was sooooo faint i thought i was seeing things with Sas. But a couple of days later it was much darker. Conratulations, hope it's a little sticker!
G- He will LOVE it! It really is just mothers guilt. You're not dropping him off to get rid of him, you're dropping him off for the social interaction and all the fun he will have. Let me tell ya, if i thought the occasinal care here was anygood, i'd have Lu booked in, in a second. But given on the day i went to check it out, a kid almost got squashed by a bookcase and it was absolutely out of control, i won't be leaving Lu there! Honestly, he'll love it, and if he doesn;t you don;t have to keep sending him.
MD- Your sister rocks. How cool is she signing up to do that course for you! cool. How's your family coping with it all? I think all the stuff from the natrpoth should be free for people having chemo. It sux that it costs the earth. You could ebay all your unwanted goods to raise some money...
Trill- i'm off to find that slice recipe....... mmmmmmmmm
Clare- yep, Av is hot, hot hot. Did trill do it????
Spent too much at pure baby. Got loads of great stuff though at a great price though....
Got to run, have to meet a lady in Epping today. She's helping us out with all things fire related. bbl.

hi girls
i dropped lewis off then me and jimmy went to the bakery and had a coffee and apple scroll and a little cry...
i hope he loves it. the carer said she would ring me if he got really upset.
little jimmy was hanging his head out of the hab gooing and gaaing and smiling at everyone, he's such a chatterbox!! always wanting attention!!
i'm bidding on a bulk lot of little people on ebay. the seller lives just down the road from me...but someone keeps outbidding me!!!!!
ange- put lu in where lewis is and then come hang out with me!!!
did you buy stuff for sas or lu at purebaby?
-
Ange, how is everything fire related going? Is your DH still on the same farm?
-
hi everyone
i'm sorry i've been slack, and i'm going to be again :redface:
i just caught a glimpse of a post by Gypsy, and got the goosebumps - YYYYYYAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY for you Gypsy!!!!!!!!
i'll try and catch up when Han has a sleep.
-
hi girls!
Ange: i *think* i went a bit crazy at purebaby too LOL! and i only have one bubs so i can only imagine!! one girl there spent close to $500!!!
Sherie: no, havent made the slice yet...am heading to the shops this arvo :D. i am pretty excited i must say!
oohh it is sooo nice when you clean the bedroom. it doesnt last long but i reckon it's a better nights sleep when it's all 'better homes and gardens' clean LOL!
Rainy: *mwah* hope you're doing ok today! i'm sure that after this first day he will hit the ground running and then you and jimmy can be guilt free as you chow down on baked sweeties!
Arte: too funny on the birthday date! i tend to forget the year :rolleyes:. mostly cause i realise that she is growing up!
AFM: all good here. over the whole house buying thing. basically if they advertise a price range, add $100,000 and you are starting to get the 'real' price. so over it. maybe i'll take a mega holiday instead...tahiti anyone??!
-
Rainy- Sounds like a fine idea to me! Not sure you're allowed to use occasional care out side your shire though..... Mostly stuff for Sas, but a few things for Lu. They mostly had small sizes. Got some lovely organic cotton single bed sheets. They are kinda like t-shirt material. nice.
Arte- The farm we were on no longer exisits. There are no fences, yards, sheds etc. But the company DH works for has 4 other farms. DH has always worked over all 5 properties, so now his work just involves the remaining 4 farms. Where we used to live was leased by his boss, so they just terminated the lease as it was due for renewal anyway.
I meant to tell you all, i think Lu has had a word explosion. Is that what they call it? She suddenly has lots and lots of words. It makes things a bit easier as she can communicate a little better. I love hearing her try to say things, sometimes it takes me a while to work out what she's saying, but i generally get there in the end! Kiss is her fave i think, she always want to 'kish' Sassy. :lol:
Still in PJ's..... crap!
-
LOL Supa, you make me laugh! Keep dropping those hints, I wish you all the best with ttc. My name is Hayley - hence the H! Feel free to call me whatever.
Rainy - Aww dont worry, I know its easy to say that, but L will love daycare. It will be so good for him as well, mingling with other children. And you will have one on one time with J.
Thanks girls for the congratulations and reassurances. We are still a bit omg, we didnt really think it could happen within the first month. However what a nice surpise, we feel very very lucky! Keep your fingers crossed for us, & think sticky vibes!!!
-
This is a post for Miss Gyspy....
:stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy:
SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!!
-
Rainy, I'm so glad there was a bakery near by in your hour of need! LOL You will come to really value this time, and L will thrive and you'll be so pleased! It just takes a little getting used to.
Clare - BUM-MER about the house situation. Does this mean you've spent the last umpteen weekends looking at houses that were never actually in your bracket at all? (*Insert swear word*)!! TBH I was very lucky when we bought this house (apart from the fact that it was CHEAP and just as well too) because I OVERHEARD another man talking to the agent about his offer so i knew *exactly* how much more I needed to offer to win it. It's a funny ugly little house but we are very happy here and all my friends love it too so maybe you will find your own funny ugly little house to be happy in as well. :hug:
Gypsy - all the best sticky vibes. Do you remember I tested on 11 DPO and got a completely nearly invisible line and I took the test to the dr and she reckoned she couldn't see it until I held it up to the light and pointed to exact spot! PMSL. Will save my official congratulations for your official announcement :D
Ange, that is so cute about L suddenly saying all these words. Miss E has started having a go at all sorts of words too, but i confess it still takes an awful lot of concentration to work out what she's just said! LOL My family are still a bit shaky - my parents are stressing even more than me and my stepmum in particular can NOT cope with the thought of me losing my hair - but other than that they're coming to grips with it. It will be good for them to see me come out the other side I think.
Supa - um, the henna tattoo is not like a needle-tattoo, it's a herbal paste that you pipe onto the skin and it stains it a nice reddy-brown colour. The middle eastern ladies use it paint designs on their hands and feet for special occasions. So no probs with the hair growing back.
Speaking of hair, I saw my lovely hairdresser and she chopped all mine off this morning! Very cute little do...now I just have to watch out for other gorgeous ladies hitting on me PMSL!
Good luck cleaning your bedroom Trill. I *still* have not managed to get on top of my spare room. Really really should since I want to set up a sewing table in there so I can go in any time and start sewing without having to unpack/repack stuff. I can feel a quilt coming on!

OMG I'm stuck in can't post land/ I've had THREE shots at posting and each time it tells me it's a duplicate but I still can't see my post anywhere??? WE-IRD
ETA - ok so there they all are making a liar of out me!!
-
ok girls, all went well with lewis it seems. the carer said he did really well for his first time. she said he went to the door a couple of times and looked for me, but then got over it and enjoyed himself...now he's crashed out in bed woohoo!!! what a great day, i'm so happy!!!
md- i want a henna tatt!!! your hair sounds great. for what it's worth, you'll still be very beautiful bald :)
what's so ugly about your house?
gypsy- it can definitely happen in the first month! don't you remember how quickly i fell pg with jimmy? it happened in a week! lol so when will you be due?
ange- those sheets sound devine, i want them in my bed!
-
Rainy, it was built in 1974. Need I say more? LOL Actually the bricks are a horrible colour, all the external paint is WHITE and just makes everything else look even uglier, we have these horrible steel-coloured window frames and horrible old holland blinds that you can see from outside. Nothing matches, and now half the garden is dead to boot! There are three different types of concrete/paving, all of which clash with each other, my bathroom is MUSTARD coloured - again, three different sorts of tiles (none matching) PLUS we have the original mirrored wall tiles in two rooms, plus fake wooden wall panelling, AND for a long time we had styrofoam (yes, think cheap disposable esky) tiles stuck to the ceiling throughout the entire house (now gone). UuuuuuugLEEEEEE! Of course it's all salveagable, it will look lovely eventually - I just have to be working to pay for the improvements. Which I am not right now.
ETA - I forgot to mention the burnt yellow glass in our entry window/loungeroom doors (!!) :lol:
-
MD: i have a small confession to make...i LURVE burnt yellow glass LOL!!! okay so i could do without the styrofoam ceiling and the mismatched concrete (sounds a bit like our place i must say...)...
yep, pretty much. basically we are looking to buy UP TO the very early 600s. which being naive i thought that i could get a NICE 2 bdrm or an OKAY 3 bdrm. but no. nada. they all are selling in our area for 600+. went to this auction on sat (walked out 2 mins in) where you could actually reach the ceiling and you got vertigo in the kitchen and it sold for 598. so yeah, we could have 'afforded' it, but i am just not willing to put my lifesavings into something like that ITMS. i guess we'll just sit tight until the time is right. now i wish we lived in wollongong as we could get a lovely house by the ocean!!! ah well.
rainy: :dance: yay for Mr L being a champ and loving the kindy!!! i do love those long tuckered out naps that they have afterwards. just like swimming!
AFM: about to get my girl from kindy. have had THE MOST productive day!! have started a new article (:pray: to all the powers that be that it gets published...had nothing published last year which is career suicide) AND i have made a huge push on my chapter 5!!!! so am looking at close to 50,000 words WOOT WOO!!! who says you cant do a phd with a baby LOL!...oh yeah, that was me!! :p
