my Sept 2011 Belly Buddies group had more or less fizzled out before our babies were even born!!! (well, especially compared to how active our group was back in the Sept 07 Belly Buddies)
i couldn't believe it when i re-found this group a few months ago - and even more surprised to find out that most of the girls here had been part of my original Belly Buddies group (although a few of you were sneaky and changed your usernames, so i had to do some detective work to find out who you REALLY were - ha ha!!).

cally - sorry to hear about your raw and blistered mouth - i hope it improves overnight, and if not, that the chemist can give you something that helps!

arte - gosh, what a big boy you have!! when i lived in melbourne Abi used to go and play with 2 girls that lived down the street. she was only 2, but the other girls were 7 and 9 and used to come and pick her up and then walk back to the 7 yr old's house to play (3 houses down the road). they thought she was so funny and cute, and she loved all the attention that she got!! i'm hoping that there are some similar-aged kids to mine in the street where we're building our new house. i haven't seen too many prams littering the verandahs though, so think i will have to hope for the existing neighbours to sell and new young families to buy into the street!!

afm - life with 3 kids is going as well as could be expected. Christopher is a good little boy, although he does spend an inordinate amount of time hanging off me guzzling milk... i don't mind too much though, because he's most likely to be my last baby (boo hoo!!), so i'm just trying to enjoy all the baby moments that i won't get to experience again...
i did my first un-aided school pick-up on Thurs (abi goes to a montessori school from 9am-3pm 3 days per week), and by the time i got the 2 young ones out of the car, went into school, herded the 2 older ones back out again after playing 'chasey', got them all back in the car (abi ran onto the road and owen ran off down the street while i was trying to get the capsule in the car), drove home with owen pinching abi and abi poking and prodding christopher, got them all out of the car again and inside the house, i was well and truly in need of a stiff drink!! of course i didn't have anything cold, but made sure i had some bubbles on ice for after the next pick-up on friday arvo!!
