Jacinta - nice car, our BFs have a silver sportage and its a very nice care, quite roomy!! We'd love get a new car (we have a Commodore and a Magna and really need to upgrade as they are getting a bit old), but with me on maternity leave its just not gonna happen this year
BG - LOL @ hearing farts through the monitor, we can hear them through ours too and it cracks me up, amazing how sensitive they are. DH was paying me out a few weeks ago and asked why I say 'Good Boy' when Bailey burps but call him a pig when he does it, LOL, so the next time he burped I said "Good Boy" (this was funnier IRL hahahahaha)
Krystie - so good to her you can make the meet ups. I cant wait. I wonder if it will be a little weird for us all IRL? , but I bet within a few minutes we'll be chatting away just like in here LOL. How exciting re your friends daughter, what a pretty name too! Glad my post helped even a little, I really do understand, especially at 2am in the morning when I am dragging myself out of a warm bed wishing Bailey would sleep through, Amy I dunno if I am as Zen as I may appear, maybe just more 'resigned' that this is how it is LOL
Vic - nice work with the washing, I have a few loads I need to get through tomorrow, we dont have a clothes line yet (have only been in our new house 18 months - we really need to get our act together) so I am using the dryer (and paying the price literally with the electricity bill!!)
Bella - yell it loud and proud with all of Jemima's achievements mate. Like Krystie I am envious too, but I would never begrudge another Mummy of proudly displaying how their baby/child is going. I also agree re spreading positive Mummy stories. So many people LOVE to tell you about all the 'bad' stuff that MAY happen, personally I think they need to have a good hard look at themselves and rejoice in their children some more and be more supportive. I love telling people my birth story as its so positive and it was such a wonderful experience for me, and I dont want first time Mums to worry, panic, or dread labour. Its unfortunate that so many people dwell on negatives rather than positives. I'm a bit of a glass half full kinda gal and I sometimes think thats why to others it appears that lots of good things happen to me, whereas I think its more my ability to turn most situations into positive things. Sheesh now I am sounding Zen, LOL Amy!!! Oh yeah and nice work re the Birth Rights Rally - you go sister!!
Amy - I dont actually think you whinge at all, you always sound happy and in control no matter whats happening, and seem to have the ability to through a bit of humour into any situation. However feel free to 'whinge' to us any time!!! Nice work re the cleaning, our house is WELL overdue for a good clean, hoping DH and I might put a few hours in on Sat morning to attack it as I haven't paid much attention in the last week, there are quite a few 'dust bunnies' floating about the place......... hahahaha
AFU - Dinner with the IL went really well tonight, and my dessert (a chocolate fondue) was fabulous if I may say so myself!! I got the MIL to rock Bailey to sleep so she got a few cuddles and made a bit of a fuss about how well she got him to sleep etc although at one point I wanted to slap her as she is a big fan of the whole "Oh they are so cruel to you" mantra - why do people always say this when your baby is crying? I took Bailey off to feed and when I bought him back I was making conversation and said how he had a massive feed and must of been hungry to which I got "Has your Mum been starving you all day, how cruel". SERIOUSLY!!! One day I might actually get a compliment about being a good Mum - enough of my ranting LOL
