Hi ladies (i told you i was going to try and keep up!)
Leanne - that would be super cool (but a little scary too lol -) Hannah and i would love to come along!
Clare - Leila sounds so clever too! I don't think i could trust Hannah at an animal farm yet. She's not scared of animals (well not dogs anyway) and she pulls their tails and pinches them lol. What time is the auction? i'll set an alarm on my phone and send through some vibes for you.
MM - i haven't seen that one - but i have seen naked news once before.
have to go - i'm making the girls 'jacca's ' for lunch.
JaZ: ha ha! leila is not scared either...so i have to always be beside her and 'show' her how to pat gently....as if that's gunna happen LOL! but luckily the animals are pretty savvy and tend to avoid the youngsters and head straight to the tweens with the food LOL! leila was just in awe of being surrounded by pigs and calves and goats. she LOVED the horses...so proud...another horse lover to add to the family. poor DH is going to be sooo outdone LOL!
Clare-sending you good auction vibes for tomorrow and will be crossing my fingers and toes.. LOL at L telling Papa all about the animals. so cute
Jaz- OMG thats awesome and we can not wait to meet you and H I will PM you my address. Not sure on time yet but will let you know.
Jaz, Leanne and Kate, how far apart are you all up there? How awesome to be meeting up!
Clare, I hope the auction fairies are smiling on you tomorrow *fingers crossed*
MD, great news about getting an extension! I guess you will be a busy little beaver getting it all done now LOL.
H, how are you going now hun?
I keep checking to see if PP's been on yet LOL, I can't wait to her his name and find out how they are all settling in together.
So far we are nearly all well again, but I have had a killer headache today that just wont shift, so I hope I am not getting sick again. Alister ended up coming down with a cold so his eating is up to **** again but at least he is sleeping OK and only waking once at night. For lunch today he had ONE GRAPE and that was after standing at the fridge whinging and whining for 10 minutes . School holidays start as of this afternoon and I am not looking forward to it as all they seem to do lately is bicker and nit-pick at one another and it is driving me mental! I had a big order of stuff from Gymboree coming and I thought it would be here today, but it wasn't so hopefully monday is the day.

OMG Trill - I have seen some gorgeous stuff in gymboree and my shopping cart on there is chockers. They have free postage there at the moment as well (around the states) but was thinking of checking out the freight forwarding companies too see what they'll charge (see which is cheaper). Plus the $US is pretty decent as well! Woot!! Not good about the headache, I hate the ones that can't be shaken. Fingers crossed on the school holidays with them all around.
Jaz - That would be awesome to catch up with you on Monday 20th as well. I'm thinking 10.30am ish? Does that sound okay? Gives me time to get out of Ipswich and through Brisbane peak traffic
Noni - bugger about the iron levels. I'd say just go straight for the jab, do it a day that A is in care so you can chill out afterwards. That being said, I've never had an iron jab so don't know the pain, just remember you telling us about the marks left on your tushie afterwards
Cass - fingers crossed on the auction 2moro. Maybe wander around before hand and loudly point out flaws (whether real or not) plus the not-so-friendly ghost thats living there. Anything that you think would put them off from buying the place. That way you can have monopoly on the sale....see my point? Clever hey
MD - Forgot to say, I am wary of sleeping tablets too. I'm sure if you take them for a few days though it will be fine, just enough to get you back into a sleeping pattern.
Trill - Oh no one grape, lol, no doubt he will scoff dinner then? Gymboree....oh no, shouldnt haven mentioned that, off to check out the website now! Is it a US site?
Noni - I'm a wuss & would be avoiding the needle at all costs, lol give me the supplements any day.
Anyone checked out deals direct dot com? They have some decent kids toys sometimes.
I am ALL for online shopping after todays incident. Decided to head down to the toy sales (everything I wanted friggen gone anyway grr) & M was chucking tanties left right and center, trying to get the dolls outta their boxes, trying to push things here & there....omg what a mission. Never ever again.
MM - I let S hold whatever I do purchase, be it a magazine or a chupa chup. I also make sure shes either strapped into a pram or trolley. I hate having to chase her around and stop her pulling everything off the shelves. I then let her pay the lady and get the receipt back. It usually takes her mind off whatever I've had to slip back on the shelves. I have checked deals direct but never shopped from there. gymboree is an american store but it has the cutest girl stuff. Haven't found anything really heartstopping in the boys section but they do have the odd cute thing. Then again seeing as I have a pink one I mainly check out the pink section lol. The $US is pretty decent at the moment but postage is like $30+ ($US) so best to buy in bulk. Or if you check it now and find a few things you like, let me know asap and i'll chuck on my order and send through to you. That offer goes to anyone that find anything they like. I love it but rarely get much from there due to cost etc. Best thing is that its not clothing that everyone is wearing KWIM? Hard pressed to see a kid wearing the same clothes like you end up with when buying from big w, kmart, target etc
hi everyone
its very late for me but am trying to keep myself awake!! poor dh has what looks like a urinary tract infection but its looking like its spread to his kidneys.. hes very unwell.. i called the health line and they said he needed to see a dr in the next 4 hours but that he shouldnt drive.. weve called an after hours dr service but that could be a while and hes fallen asleep on the floor with a heat pack.. i dont wanna wake him because he has been in so much pain and is a bit anxious about the whole thing understandably but that leaves me trying to wait up for the dr lol its currently 11pm.. maybe i should ring them and see if they have a time frame.. spose its prob a bit like waiting at the hospital really since its a medicare system.. eeeek... asking an almost 37wk pregnant lady to stay awake while everyone else is asleep is a bit rough!!
cassius - have u had the iron injections? they are very painful!!! but ikwym about the supplements such a pita!! the liquid one is not a huge boost but its about the same as general iron tablets and since im allergic to sulphur thats about all thats on offer for me anyways..
kate - yeh not nice but i didnt get staining from them just bruising so i was lucky its sooo painful tho haha im such a sook!!!
mm - i too am a wuss and cant decide haha!!
thanks arte.. the dr came and gave him some ABs straight away so he could start them last night and a script to get some more today we have to drop in to the drs this morning just to drop off a wee sample tmi? sorry... he seemed to calm down alot after the dr wasnt too worried.. think hed worked himself up a bit.. ofc hes in bed now and im up with the monster that wont sleep in!! my dads wife gave us a playhouse disney dvd that came with the newspaper tho and that seems to be entertaining her for now..
yep 37 weeks tmw as pap would say "bing baby is cooked now" hehe am happy to wait a few more weeks tho!! would quite like him to come on the 26th july so him n Asha share the date thought that would be cute same day just 2 months apart but i had a date i wanted Ash to come too and that never happened haha just have to wait n see!!
anyways my brain is barely functioning and all ive had this morning so far is half a piece of toast and a bunch of chocolate haha better go fix that!!
Clare looks like I've done your trick - i *definitely* posted yesterday evening but...no post here today! I actually jumped on to say you should go around to the house and splash a bit of brown paint on the driveway and then start a murder-suicide rumour...you'll have an affordable house in no time at all
ETA - how did you get on organising a service for your G.U. Bill? When's Oma's operation? My family were all holding their breath this week because Grandpa George decided he'd had enough of living in pain and opted for a hip replacement even tho he's super high risk with blood clotting disorders. 48 hrs later and he's still going great.
Trill my heart went out to you when you said about A having *one grape* for lunch. That was not a good day . Good luck thinking up some entertainment for the school hols. Hopefully the weather will be good for you (send em outside to play!!!) LOL
Wow Noni - happy 37 weeks!!! Though on past form you might be waiting a little while longer. Glad your DH is ok, those kidney things can be nasty.
MM - oh yeah, that's one of the reasons we came home with the tank engine car thingy...tho E is often quite happy to sit in her pram and play with things in the box, I take one away and give her another so the only one that's ever a problem is the very last thing LOL. I like Kate's suggestion of letting her hold whatever you do buy and do the money etc.
JaZaH - OOOOH! Tell us about Jacca's (is it toasties jazah-style??) I bet you're all sooo excited about Monday!! I'd love to be there...I *will* get to Brissie one day!
I wonder how PAP is getting on with little mr x? Thinking of you hun if you're reading at the moment. xxx
Also noticed Supa's been MIA again...I suspect she is having trouble finding free internet (buy a plan, sweetie!!!) LOL

hi ladies
i am here!!!!! home with my gorgeous gorgeous boy (had a few of you tricked didnt I!) - all is going fabulously... he is DIVINE!!! feeding going well. labour was good - different from last time (and not the speed i had been promised) but good... Noah is andling it all ok - good and bad times but pretty ok overall. and my wonderful DH is the gem he was last time... which def helps with the adjustment. will pop on again to tell you all more but just wanted to say hello! i have missed you all!
ps sorry no texts - i had all your numbers written down to put into my mobile... and then it kicked off... apparently i was telling my DH to message you while i was in there!!
back soon and tell you more then.

So very happy for you guys Pap. Congratulations, can't wait to find out all about the new prince in your life.
Noni - hope dh is feeling better now that he's on the Abs. Hope you get to put your feet up soon too.
Kate - 10:30 is great for me if it suits Leanne.
Md - hope grandpa George continues to do well. I can imagine Hip pain would be hard to put up with. Jacca's is like Macca's happy meal - chicken nuggets and chips in a noodle box - except I make it at home. Zoe said to me "mummy, this tastes just like Macca's!!"
Clare - hope things are going well for you today
AFM - i'm off to the in-laws tonight for a little 'do' to celebrate the return of one of their previous exchange students from Norway. She was here in 1989, so has done well to keep in touch with them. Tomorrow we're off to my mum's family for a Christmas in July 'do'. I'm going to make Lasagne, because i thought 'stuff it' it isn't really Christmas is it. Then tomorrow night i'm going to see French and Saunders. I can't wait!!
hey everyone, just here briefly as I have another cold and this time my kidneys are killing me! they are so sore. I have been drinking loads of water and electrolytes so I should be OK soon. Alisters eating is on the improve, its jsut fits and starts - one moment he wont eat a thing and the next you can't keep it up to him. With gymboree, it is definately best to buy as much as you can so you can justify the $30 postage, plus they have a 'gymbucks' program which for every $50 you spend you get a $25 voucher for your next spend. I earnt $50 this time and it will more than pay for the postage on the next order I do when the $$ comes back up a bit.
PP, great to see you back online my love and that you are in babymoon heaven!
Trill - I brought a gymboree 20% voucher from ebay (us seller) for $6 so that pretty much pays my postage. Woot for me. So try that when spending your gymbucks ...
hi girls
on again for a few mins - little one is asleep but i can see him licking his lips so i am sure he will be awake and ready for another feed soon...
he is soooo adorable - i am in love all over again (thanks Rainy for all the reassurance that i would feel this way, i could never imagine it before but i think it is even more special the 2nd time).
noah is adjusting quite well - we had a few bad nights esp when i was in hospital and he had a really bad day (when he bit someone at kindy) but now he seems to be doing well. he has actually been sleeping much better at nights though is harder to put down (i think he wonders what we are up to with the baby out here). he LOVES kissing the baby and 'tickling' him. he was a bit scared of him at first i think but is getting used to him. i think it makes it easier that at the start the newborn has relatively little impact on them - ie dont play, mainly sleep etc etc. i guess it lets them gradually get used to them? anyway i am sure we will have our ups and downs but so far it is going well.
feeding is going well thoughi have one very sore and cracked nipple (same side as last time). but he is a good feeder and my milk is flowing (ie i have masses) so i am happy on that front.
the labour was good. it was 10 hours... ummmm where was my 2 hour special! my ob was having the weekend off (i didnt know this) so i had a random ob in the end but luckily we didnt really need him. i will go into more detail later if you are interested but basically we went in pretty fast due to the expectation it wouild all be over before we knew it so i did the whole labour at hospital.. able to keep it v active though and it was good. i had gas for about the last hour or so... makes you feel pretty spacey hey! had a slight graze but no stitches this time so that was good...
stay in hospital was good - but i got so bored and really missed being home so was glad when thursday came around and it was time to go home.
anyway - thats enough about me...
i have had a VERY quick skim - i am so sorry if i have missed anything major.. (tell me if i have please)
Clare - so sorry you are having such a rough time of it.
Noni - 37 weeks - DING DING the baby is cooked honey! how are you feeling? cant wait for your bubba to arrive too. How is Asha now re the allergies?
Arte - i also sensed you were a bit down, glad you are doing better.
MM - how are you feeling? physically and emotionally?
Rainy - you poor thing with the sick boys - are you sickness free?
Sherie - poor you with the kidney pain, that sounds awful... keep up the fluids.
Oh on cue little man is up and so the boobies are out.. back later girls.

. School holidays start as of this afternoon and I am not looking forward to it as all they seem to do lately is bicker and nit-pick at one another and it is driving me mental! I had a big order of stuff from Gymboree coming and I thought it would be here today, but it wasn't so hopefully monday is the day.
