Kaz, yep, I'm excited about the baby shower, lol! One of the partners of the people DH works with is organising it. So lovely of her to do it, considering I have only met her about 3 times!! The other girls, who I assume are coming I know fairly well though. It does kind of make me sad that I have to come all the way out here for someone to see fit to celebrate my babies like this though...my own family and frinds never did
DH's work party yesterday was really good. Though today I am terribly sore and achey. I had lots of fun though, so in a way it's worth it (??!!) I ddin't sleep much and have been taking panadol religiously every 4hrs all night. Though surprisingly I am in good spirits, maybe cause I got out and had fun! I do wish I could have had a few drinks though, lol!
Yes, lots of road closures out this way. Lots of floods and water damage, though Cobar seems to miss the worst of it, which is good. But if we wanted to, I'm pretty sure the roads are closed from Dubbo, maybe even closer to us than that. Big floods north west of us too. We must be on a rise or something out here! And still more rain forecasted too. I feel really sorry for the poor farmers. They have all prepared for a huge locust swarm, which is pretty bad at the mo, though not as bad as first thought due to the wet weather, but now they're having to contend with the floods too. They just can't win. I definately wouln't want to be a farmer out here! Or anywhere I don't think!!
I had to LOL @ you're DH. Mine is the same. For some reason he will wash religiously if he's going to work, deoderant and aftershave every day. But have him home for one or two days and it's no shower for as long as he is abow to get away with it (which is usually no longer than a day or so until I say something!!) he's not really a stinky man considering the amount he sweats, but it's just not the point!! Though my sense of smell is terribly sensitive at the moments too, I usually have a pretty good sense of smell and at the moment, it's REALLY sensitive! But he sweats alot, then gets into my bed all grotty and dirty feet and disgusting!! UGH, men!!!
As for Liam's eating I have tried the bribery. I have tried everything, limiting foods, limiting drinks. I don't know what else to do, so now I offer him food if he eats, marvellous if not, he starves until I make something else. He gets no sweets or treats or anything unless he's eaten enough 'healthy' food for my liking!
How have you been hun? I can't believe Quoll is 'officially' due! I hope s/he isn't giving you too much trouble. Right now I am enduring some pretty horrible punches or whatever to my cervix and bladder!
How cute Pip is sharing his toys with Quoll! I'm sure that will change quickly once bub is here, lol! Lily said to me the other day that the baby was watching a teeny weeny tv in my tummy! Hehe. She's said some other funny things too, but I can't remember what!


Mel, I think we can forgive you for being MIA!! It couldn't be easy with 3 kids! It's hard enough to find time with just the two of my kids, lol! I guess I will find that out for myself in a few weeks though! Eeeek!! I am still feeling so disorganised! Maybe because I can't do much. I really want to get some serious cleaning done, but it's not going to happen unless DH does it.
Yay that Amy is still feeding ok and it's improving. You are doing a fabulous job with feeding her . The first 6-8weeks is the worst of it all. You're both still figuring each other out. Are you sleeping with her? Or do you get up each time she wants to feed? Do your big girls go to day care one day a week or something? I think that will be my saving grace, that I will have one day with bub all on my own.
Hehe, R is sounding alot like Liam. Remember when we used to say our big girls would talk and talk and talk?? Now it's our middle ones! Though Lil still goes through times when I just wish she would shut up! And I still ask her to stop talking!! I was also thinking of trying to get Liam to toilet train, but I vetoed it because baby is so close to coming and I just don't think he will get it. Lil was sooo easy to train, she almost did it all herself (Like Liv if I remember correctly??), but I don't think Liam will be as easy. I will wait til he's bigger and baby is here and we're all in a bit of a routine!!
And there's not much sleep going on here for me either. Yesterday morning I just got up because I was so sick of laying in bed doing nothing. Liam was tossing adn turning and my back hurt so I just gave up on sleeping since I had been laying therer for an hour or so, so at 5.30am I was up with the birds while the kids slept til about 6.45am (a sleep in in our house!)! Then when DH got up at 9am I was buggered, lol. I fell asleep on the lounge and dozed for a while, but had to get up and do the salads adn dips I was making for the chrissy party. At least I will get used to no sleep before baby comes!
