Hi

Have read all the posts from the old thread. Quick fly by visit sending everyone

ellie - 11 weeks wow! I saw a photo of Alex yesterday at three days old - so hard to believe they are so tiny when they are born (it's a good thing too!).

Take care everyone.

Another new thread! Are we the most talkative Group ever?

**OceanPrincess** · August 1st, 2010, 11:29 AM

I reckon Nai!!

Certainly more talkative than my new group!

**diva det** · August 2nd, 2010, 01:39 PM

lol yes we can talk underwater!!!

Kaz- hope no more gastro there, seems to be a bit of it around at the moment. Hope there is more good than bad sleep wise.

Ali- work sounds full on there. My Df is a teacher and he says teaching maths makes him very lucky cause less preperation than others cause maths always stays the same! It must be rewarding tho if you are enjoying it. Very exciting bout your up and coming holiday! I'm so jealous! When are you off to the zoo?

OP- Yes I remember those evening cluster feeds clearly! I used to just sit in bed, tv on and watch tv or dvd and have her on my lap sleeping or feeding.

Ellie- glad sleep times overnight going well but not surprising you still feel stuffed, its hard work!

Malyna- lol at the pool story can imagine his shock! Yeah I wouldnt bother with swimming if he isn't in to it, we'll prolly start Emily around 2.5-3 same age as Ash was.

We are finally off to get Emilys 12mth immunisations tomoz. Thought now they're getting up to 18mths I might get it done. So booked in tomor, great fun not.

I haven't been well, had nausea and vomity problems last week and now my vertigo has come back so annoying, have ENT appt in 4 weeks to check out the vertigo.

Nai the couch sounds good, get the girls onto some probiotics or hydralyte icepoles! best things invented!

**OceanPrincess** · August 18th, 2010, 03:02 PM

I thought DD was getting better... But then she had a go at two of the boys at Playgroup today and sort of rolled onto one of the 6mth old babies... Sigh.

I know it's just a phase - anyone know when the phase will end????
