MM - bikinis for little ones this age!! K just wears her swim nappy and a rashie, so not trendy (I'll probably get in trouble when she's a teenager, the daggy clothes I used to put her in.....). So the hernia wouldn't be a problem if you got pregnant?
MP - wow, 27 pts is a lot! Our secretary is on 17, she wants to lose about 10kgs. Great that you have noticed such an immediate improvement in J's neck. Will book in the 24th, it's pretty hard to go past the muffin shop.....
Just gotta share the cutest thing...Sarah was given a Dora book for her birthday from her FDC mum (one that you press the buttons on the side relating to whats happening in the story). Anyway, she was pressing away at Swipers button and started to copy it! So she now says 'oh man' while 'clicking' her fingers and swinging it across her body like swiper does. So awesomely cute! Only problem is that she refuses to be my performing monkey , so its random at the moment .
GINGER!!!! Ovulation must be playing games with you. lmao. go on .... doooooo it! Sorry i missed saying happy birthday on the actual day! Happy birthday Lewis. MWAH.
I can report to you all that L's birthday was great. We stayed way longer than planned because we were having a lovely time.
MP- I have a tinted moisturiser from mecca which i love, it's not stilla, it's the brand that do the mascara in a silver tube...... man i can't remember the brand, will have a look.
I wanted to pop in and say hello, IL's are here. woo-hoo. So being rude on the computer so better go.
Katie- thinking of you, you must be so uncomfortable!
Cally- No bikinis here either. rashie and swim nappy all the way.
Hahahah Kate- very cute. I hate it when my monkey wont perform on command.
MM- i had an umbilical hernia when i was preg with Lu and it was no problem. I did have to stick my finger in my belly button when i coughed though. Glad you don't have to wait 12 months.
Ange surprisingly I am not to uncomfortable, my belly is loooooow now though and gets a bit heavy lol.
Kate that is adorable. They never perform when you want them to though do they!!
Every time L draws now he spells his name, only he misses the G and N he just keeps coming back to L O lol. He is also very cheeky and when he is in trouble and we count to three he counts along with us even continuing onto 4 and 5 the cheeky monkey. It is a very fun age.
Hi All
Just a quickone from me.. had the WORST night last night - wont go into all the details but lets just say iw as basically up since 2.30am... and mainly dealing with Noah!
he is in the worst mood today bc so tired (as am I) but is sleeping now so i am hoping he will leave his cranky pants behind when he wakes.
DH home tomorrow - yay!
Love to you all - sorry for selfish post!
Oz, *SNAP*! my belly is loooooooow now and gets a bit heavy too.
Ginger, have another baby, JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN. The door has slammed shut for me (I think I'm officially in my First Menopause, as of this week ). But you my dear are young and gorgeous and full of mummy goodness still...what's not to reproduce???! OK, maybe not this week, give it a year or two and go again when you are good and ready.
MM, I"m sure the hernia will be no trouble at all, use it as an excuse for not hefting any suitcases on your trip .
Ummm, soooo can't remember anything else. Having qual time with Eldest Offspring today, saw Aliens in the Attic (total hoot!), shared sushi lunch and now off to get a "do" together. TTFN
Lu told me today when sas was crying that "Sas hungry. Wants to eat mums boobs"
She also woke up from her sleep asking for medicine. Wierd. So i took her temp and it was 39.5! So i gave her some. Nice that she can communicate she feels crappy these days.
Poor you MP.
MD- what a lovely day. have a nice arvo.
Katie- still laughing at your arson in the bedroom comment on fb.
So did she eat your boobs Ange? out of the mouths of babes hey? I hope Lu isn't getting sick and this is just a once off.
MD, so how are you feeling with the menopause? Are you allowed to take any treatments for it or will you go homeopathic?
Kate I bet it's so cute to see her do it. They pick everything up so quickly now don't they?
PP, I hope you get a good night sleep tonight hun
G, I think you need to have another baby - you and J make such gorgeous ones you just can't stop at two
Oz, either way you know it's not too much longer now - I'm sure you wont be pg in November LOL
Well I feel completely out of the loop atm - it's just been so busy here it's crazy! DH's work was having a family day today so the kids and I went out with the IL's because DH started on shift today and it was great. They took us down the pit and we could watch all the dump trucks come and go with their loads and the kids got to climb up into one of the trucks and a loader. Then we had a BBQ lunch and they had gold panning and the kids all got a 0.2g piece of gold and a certificate each. Very long and tiring day though. I have a heap of pics I will upload to FB later on.
Sherie - sounds like a great day out, I'd love to hop up on one of those big trucks!
MP - sounds like you're really ready for DH to come home!! Gosh, Noah, hope you sleep tonight!
Ange - lol at Lu!! How cute!
Still at work, DH obviously didn't feel like cooking tonight so I have been tasked with bringing pizza home. Means that everything will be super tidy while I am away though!
ETA - Just taken the plunge and become a life member, feeling a bit out of it not having an av!!!

Hi all - pretty much the same last night as thenight before - except i gave in and allowed him to sleep with me earlier... but we are all EXHAUSTED and wil have to catch up on sleep. DH will be home in about 2 hrs.. YAY! it has only been 3 nights but it feels like so long! It was great having mum here to help me, but with Noah being so clingy and, well, a 2 yo, there was only so much she could do...
Had a bday party this morning - N had a ball! gosh it is a delicious age. i keep getting frustrated with him and then i looka t him or see something he has done or somethig he says and my heart just MELTS!
Sherie - your day out sounds good.
Cally - muffin shop it is, will sort out time etc next week. Will have to save some pts! Yep 27 pts seems a lot to me as well but they worked it out basked on height, weight, acitivyt level and bf... maybe i am super big???? i am quite active and bf gives you 4 pts so maybe thats it... i hope they are right...
I wonder how Noni is?
Oh and Oz but trying not to mention that!!
Hi everyone,
I've been falling a little behind lately, especially as Hannah didn't have a day sleep 3 days in a row. I'm thinking it might be because she hasn't been very active this week. When I go for an hour walk, she's just in the pram. We've then had shopping to do - where she's in a trolley. so we hadn't been doing anything to tire her out. She's sleeping now though - I had her doing some dancing with me. She's so cute.
mp - you must be exhausted, especially after having to go to a party this morning as well. Hopefully you'll have a better night tonight. I would say you do have the extra points for breastfeeding. You'll definitely be able to include some yummy treats with those points!!
Cally - yay for you becoming a life member. Can't wait to see what your av will look like. Trill is very talented
Trill - your Dh's family day sounds awesome! Can't wait to see the pics.
Ange - how is L feeling today?
Md - how was your day yesterday? It's nice when you can spend one on one time with them. I love taking Jess shopping with me. Zoe hates shopping, so i'm going to have to think of something else to do with her.
Oz - that's cute that L writes his name. When Hannah is drawing she says 'e e e a e e'.
Kate - Love the 'oh man'. Hannah said that this morning when she knocked her drink over. I love it!
How did everything go when dh was home? Hope everything is going well.
afm - i danced around the lounge room for 45 minutes this morning, and I'm stuffed!!!
I downloaded 'Footloose' , 'I think we're alone now (Tiffany) and the new Guy Sebastion one. I think i may have done my body some damage though
Oh Jaz I love I think we're alone now lol. L and I love to dance, he is such a groover.
MP I am so glad your DH is home tonight, I hope you all manage to get a good nights sleep.
Trill sounds like a great day out, L would love that he is obsessed with trucks, though he really loves garbage trucks lol.
Ange that Lu is so adorable. Some of the things our kids are coming out with are priceless.
MD PMSL at your belly being low and heavy. Bummer on the menopause.
G so you going to have more babies? Gooo on you know you wanna.
I am still here and feeling good. Mum arrives tomorrow, I had really wanted the bub to be born before she got here as I didnt want to labour at home with her DH there and wanted to establish feeding etc but now I think maybe bub just wants grandma there when he or she is born and thats fine with me. I think I lost my plug, or at least part of it this morning so hopefully in the next few days I have some news!!!!
thats a great sign that things will be starting soon Oz. I hope having Grandma there is all it takes.
Jaz you are going great guns on the eating plan well done!
PP, bugger about having another bad night. I hope that with DH being home it helps settle him kwim?
Oooooh Cally, can't wait to do an av for you!
Such a quiet day here today isn't it? L is off for a sleep over and the girls are not fighting (that alone is truly blissful ROFL) and A is in bed asleep. I really should be cleaning the house but I have zero motivation.
