Hiya girlies! How are you all?

We are going well this week! Though Damien is on another 5 night (or is it 6?) stint of night shifts....alwasy seems to send me a bit batty! Ah well, such is life. But the last week has been good for all of us. The kids seem to have really settled down and therefore so have I! Having D home to help for the past few days has helped tremendously and he has been an absolute legend, doing so much around the house to help- cooking, vacuuming, washing/hanging/ folding clothes, getting up with the kids, letting me sleep and taking the kids out for a bit so I can breathe...he's just been sooo perfect! I couldn't love him more right now, lol!!
The kids are doing better, less whinging from Lily and she's sleeping through the night, yay!! Though Liam isn't yet, but most nights it's 1-2 wake ups which is a huge improvement on 5-6 a night! I think he might be weaning too. He's totally not interested in my left boob and only suckles for a few mins on the right. Plus he's not asking for it 1000 times a day anymore! He has it maybe 1-2 times a day now. I'm torn between being happy and a bit sad! But I think almost 2yrs is a pretty damn good acheivement! Especially when I had such issues with Lily!
We have had a play date with the wives of D's workmates. It was nice to get to know them a bit more, though I did feel a little left out cause I didn't know what they were talking about half the time! And we've been going to playgroup, though I'm yet to really meet anyone there, I have breifly spoken to people, but not really introduced myself.
I'm going well with the pg. Nausia and the dog tiredness are pretty much gone, though I'm still going to sleep at odd times, like sleeping in the arvo sometimes for a few hours when I can, and last night I slept from 7.30pm-8.30am, so for 13 hours!!! But obviously I must need it, lol!

Mel, Yay with your dress!! I wish I could find some stuff that fit nicely. Oh well, I am going to try the net....hopefully things will fit me!
It is nice to have the space from our unit, though it is a bit empty cause we don't have alot of furniture, lol! And the cleaning is a PITA! But it is a really nice house.

Dis Mel, how have you been feeling with you m/s, I hope it's disappeared now.
The centre you've found for Ben sounds great, though just from a teachers perspective, he doesn't HAVE to know how to write his name when he goes to school. They expect them to be able to recognise it and maybe attempt to write a few letters of their name, and recognise that print has meaning, but they don't need to know how to actually write, iykwim?

Kris, how's things? I hoep your boys and you are going well!

Kaz, how is Pip going? Has he settled a bit from going away? How are you feeling with everything? How far along are you now? You must be almost 20 weeks??

Jen, you around?? How are your boys? How are you going? I hope all is well.

Ok, must hang out some washing before it gets below freezing again tonight....!!! BRRRRRR
