Ha! I wish Mo! It'll just one for me, money won't stretch for two!!!
FW, not long now! Exciting!
Been living in a bit of chaos here, repainting baby's room and TT DD at the same time. I'm not good at living in such a state but I got everything back away today, nursery is done and hard rubbish is being picked up on Thursday.

We're doing everything we can with her eyes to make sure she doesn't need an operation, fingers crossed it works.
Heading into town on Wednesday to wait to go into labourI told my mum i'd like to organise a morning tea catch up with family and friends so I don't have a million visitors after the baby is born and she's turned it into a full on baby shower
I think she's a little bit excited.
It's a bit different this time because we won't be in our own home when we bring bub home from the hospital, we've rented a 2 bedroom place so we have our own space but also will have the majority of my family within a 30min drive. When DD was born we went straight home and my parents stayed with us for a few weeks, we had some family who were passing through come for lunch around 5 days after the birth and that was stressful enough. When my sister had her baby almost a year ago now she was in labour through the night and my niece was born at 5am, my sister didn't even want my parents to visit at the hospital but apparently my grandma and aunty thought it was ok to rock up a few hours later during visiting hours, luckily they went to the wrong hospital!
I'm also looking forward to having DF's parents here, it's pretty exciting for us and for them, they've never been to Australia before.
PRMG -Wow sounds like you've been busy! I still have to clean out our junkroom so the PIL have somewhere to sleep
Is anyone else thinking about 3rd birthdays or is Mo the only organised one? I suppose because DD's isn't until April and the baby is due before now and then it seems like ages away.
JF - Aubrey is so chubby compared to Immy! She's so cute!
Registered User
Exciting Fuzzy!
Yep, they sure are polar opposites which I guess is to be expected although DP often gets told by strangers how much DD1 takes after him because of her wavy hair I think, mine is dead straight.
Imogen was tiny and still is. Has blonde wavy hair and that only started coming through properly after she was about 2 with beautiful olive eyes.
Aubrey is HUGE, not just chubby but long as well. She has dead straight auburn hair that was there from the day she was born with bright blue eyes!
Both very cute combinations although I am thinking that Bree will lose her blue eyes and might even drop the red tinge in her hair so will have to see how that goes, my Mum thinks this hair could fall out altogether and she end up with curls lol

FW - Ooohh Wednesday! Not long now until you have your bubba in your arms! As far as 3rd birthdays go, I've thought about itHave booked the cake, not doing it myself this year. We're going away next week, will probably organise something when we get back. Will be a family thing as normal though, nothing too exciting, but she loves everyone, so should be a good day for her
JF - DD's hair fell out, grew back straight and then curled when she was around 8-10 months. Now she has afro-style curls, they get commented on all the time but they are tricky to look after. She screams non-stop on hair washing nights and again when I'm trying to tame the curls in the morning. It's a guarantee of a violent tantrum
Mo - How are you doing?
Registered User
We have tight curls here too. I am happy to keep paying $10 every month or so to get them cut really short so I don't have to brush them every day. Actually I rarely brush her hair unless we're going out somewhere and do the whole spray and comb thing so the curls look nice. DD can grow her hair long when she's old enough to brush it herself

Congrats FW, can't wait to see some pics

Congrats FW!!
I don't have your signature handy but is she your second?
Isn't it amazing how relaxed it is the nth time around?
We hav been in Sweden for 8.5 months now - time really flies. DS1 is at dance class right now, which he loves... And DS2 asleep in the pram so I'm just having a quiet chai latte (although I reall wish they served whiskey in this place- it was such a drama getting here on time with all the layers of clothes needed for going outside in Sweden at this time of year.
Our whole family came down with a flu super bug last week - I hadn't had a cold in the past 8 years but the year my son starts preschool - BAM - no surprises there!!
So the whole fam was down and out for about ten days - what a shocker.
Hope you ladies are all doing well, wherever you are.
Hugs

Congratulations FW! I was off BB and FB while I was away, but came stalking last night to see! She's beautiful!
Registered User
Hi Tanya, yep she's my second. It's definitely not as stressful the second time around. Although DD2 has been a bit different to DD1 so far so she's keeping us one our toes. I don't envy you having to put on all those layers. We went to Russia in winter when DD1 was a baby and ended up leaving her at home with the grandparents and just DF and I went out as it was such an effort getting everyone all dressed up and she hated the cold wind on her face! Hope you have all recovered from the flu and are back to normal.
Thanks PRMG! Hope you had a great holiday
Loving your party preparations Mo, I'm going to do the rainbow jars next week with DD. Did you use salt with the chalk for colour?
Registered User
The rainbow jars are soooooo much fun i think i had more fun than the girls lol
Yep just no name cooking salt & chalk, we used cheap chalk at first but the colours weren't as colourful as i wanted so we used crayola chalk & it turned it out so much better.
It does get very messy but easy enough to clean up.

Sounds like lots of fun, Mo! I can imagine lots of laughs.
FW - How are you going? How's DD1 going with being a big sister?
DD had the supplementary immunisation today for pneumococcal. I took her to the GP instead of the council as they were offering it. Before they would give it to her, a doctor had to come in and give her a health check before he'd give approval for the shot. It was pretty thorough. She's had no reaction to it, which is always nice and she didn't give more than a bit of a squeak when it happened. She wanted to ring DH and told him that her arm was sore....except she keeps telling him it's the other arm

MG they loved it, we even did it at playgroup & all the kids loved it & them Mums loved it even more lol.
How's your pregnancy going? Has the placenta moved up at all? Been thinking of you :hugs:
Kodi had a great birthday, she got a ton of my little pony toys, clothes, barbies & books.
Now i'm slowly starting to plan B's 1st birthday. We are going for a Woodland theme as Bambi stuff is impossible to find.
Hope everyone is doing well

Pregnancy is going okay. Won't know any more about what the placenta is doing until my next scan at the end of April. Thanks for thinking of me.
We gave DD her bike for her birthday this morning - the look on her face was priceless! Can't believe they've all turned 3!!!!!!

Lots of moving up vibes for you, One of the ladies in Bambi's belly buddy group had the placenta covering the cervix she made it to 36wks
