had a wonderful day - E travelled brilliantly (apart from the half hour or so before we got to the city) - slept most of the way home, and when she wasn't sleeping she was chatting away happily. was a lovely day (in spite of the weather and the "oops" fine we got - told DH to check the signs properly cos i couldn't see... ah well...)
E is now snoozing in my arms and i'm about to upload the photos to facebook. will upload all the pics taken, even if they're a bit dodge - help yourselves to whichever ones you want
Also about to upload some piccies! I am still so excited, I had a wonderful day, thanks everyone!
I must say that I agree wth Krystie, our babies ARE cute, and I am not just saying that - what a bunch of adorable little people we have created!
I cant wait to do it all again - maybe we should have an annual meet up - I am pumped for the next one as this one went too quick and I never got to properly sit down and talk to everyone properly. You are all EXACTLY how I expeced, although I temporarily forgot Vic had an english accent until I met her HAHAHAHAHAHA
Thanks Vic for helping Amy and I around, and Bella for the hotel room (hope we didn't trash it too much) and everyone else for being your fabulous selves! And OMIGOD the quiches and the sausage rolls ROCKED
i have created a private album for us to view with all photos - DH tried to catch as many of the kidlets as he could from the angle he was at - so there are a few that you may want individually
am uploading some i played with in the scrapbooking program (can you tell i'm teaching myself how to use it lol)
Grrrrr I just wrote a massive post and now it's gone, so this will just be quick.
Krystie - glad Santa did a good job. Santa was a little worried that he/she might get it wrong. LOL
Bella-thanks for having us!Sorry we left so much stuff behind. haha. You know, you think your brain goes to mush after one baby... wait until number 2 comes along! haha.
Thanks so much for putting up with us yesterday. I know we are a bit weird and slightly coutry hickish, haha, but we had a great time meeting all of you. I must confess I've already been thinking about the next meet up.... haha.
We got home eventually last night, and Allira did 11 hours before waking for a feed, then another 3 hours, so we got up at 10am this morning. Lachie slept 14 hours striaght and I had to wake him at 10. He's not so sleepy today.. I don't know what the deal was yesterday, but I'm glad he wasn't anywhere near as nutty as normal.... he couldn't put the fear of a 2 year old into eveyone. LOL.
Anyway, was awesome meeting you all. Thanks so much for having us, and I can't wait to meet up with some/all of you again.
xxoo
Was sooooo good to meet you gals yesterday! We had a fantastic time. So great to get to see all those beautiful bubbas - I got to have a cuddle of almost all of them! It always amazes me how different their little personalities are and the different 'energy' you get from them if you hold them or engage with them. Feel like I got to know them on a different level and also got to finally have a RL chat to most of you wonderful Mummies. Ivy seemed to have a ball and was so tired afterwards I just put her in the car seat and she looked at me, sighed and went to sleep instantly before I'd even buckled her up! NEVER happens!
Thanks Santa J! Ivy has been cuddling her little doggy all morning and had decided that his tail is very tasty... only slightly classier than sucking on people's toes!
Bailey slept so well last night too, all that play yesterday must have tuckered them out, he didn't wake for a feed at all, first time ever.
Re our brace fitting today - So far so good wth Bailz, he had a little cry when the brace was fitted but we think it was more because he was protesting about being face down on his belly for so long rather than the brace. He is currently fast asleep, its been a big morning
We are ok, I had a little cry as was a bit devastated to see him in the brace (and there is a little harness that goes over his shoulders to keep it in place so the metal bit does ride up his back that I wasn’t expecting), but we’ll get there
Of course he did a massive poo on the way home to test out our new nappy changing skills and even managed to get poo on the brace – perhaps its his way of saying this is sh*t hahahahaha
If he is ok when he wakes we are off to buy some new clothes, hardly any of his pants will fit around the brace - DOH. Also, I'd rather have clothes that cover the brace, just cos I dont want random strangers to stare and wonder. He is ok in the carseat and pram - he just touches the sides now, and as we have to sleep him slightly on his side so he is not flat on his back, (just rolled a cloth nappy up so he lays a little to the side, one leg is stuck up in the air a little which is kinda funny.
