Hi girls! I just wanted to give you all GBH. I am sorry some of you are going through some tough times, and don't worry, I sit here some days and just think to myself how lucky we are that the kids are healthy and so far don't have any real issues.
I'm really sorry for bragging too. Will keep that in check

Krystie - Allira has no teeth either. Can't even really feel any in her gums, so could be a while yet.

Amy - All the best for you interviews today! I'm sure you will impress everyone and kick some interview butt!

Nicole - I just want to give you a big hug. We were preparing ourselves for being where you are with DS, we're just lucky all of his problems they told me about during the pregnancy turned out to not be problems. GBH for you and your little man.

Bridg - A big hug for you too. I hope that the appts for Logan's hips go better than expected. xx

Naomi - I can picture Bailey sitting there sussing out all the other kids, and working out what he wants to do... once that brace comes off he'll be gone! I can't imagine how you are feeling (and sorry for putting my foot in it with all the bragging). xx

BG - My parents are different with my kids aswell. My dad was a bit of a hard ass when we were kids, and now he is the worlds biggest softie and these kids can wrap him around their little fingers with the tiniest little smirk. It's a bit weird to see actually.
You are a wonderful Mum! You can see the love pour from your posts! Seriously! You've been so attentive to E's needs and seem so in tune with her. You are doing a wonderful job. xx

I will have to go facebook stalking and see where I can find all these pics.

I hope everyone has a great day, and a wonderful weekend.
xxoo

Please DONT keep it in check, I actually LOVE hearing how proud we all are of our babies achievements, and I want to keep hearing about it. I was feeling a bit low yesterday and the Mums that returned for a visit yesterday are no where near as sensitive and caring as you guys. One of them was all "Woe is me, its so haaaaaaaaaaaaaard, she's into EVERYTHING, I wish she'd just sit in ONE PLACE, it was so EAAAAASY then, at least Bailey stays in one place". I really had to bite my tongue and not say b*tchily "Be careful what you wish for Lady!!". I thought it was such a stupid thing to say. I'm happy to offer up Baileys hip dysplasia to her if she wants an immobile child - FFS woman!!!

Anyway - please don't apologise, and dont change what you guys post..... or I'll have to get back on my bloody soap box again LOL

Oo, I didn't think you were "bragging", Nicky. It truly is lovely to hear how wonderfully and rapidly these kids are developing! Don't feel you need to hold back on my account. I am having a tough time dealing with Nat, but am really not worried about Phoebs. Like Naomi, I have friends who put it on in a really competitive way... even my aunt! She said the other week that my cousin just announced one day that she didn't want to wear nappies anymore and never had an accident after that. And she was only just 2! I roll my eyes now, but it's really not what I need to hear, you know? It's like she's telling me Natty's an idiot because her 2yo could TT in a flash and my 3yo's in nappies still.
I don't think anyone on here talks about their kids' development in a competitive way.

HEY! I got a job!!! Went to the interview @ 9 this morning and got the phone call at 11, LOL! It's secretarial work for a neurosurgeon so I think it will be very interesting too! There's a 3 month probationary period, but it all seems very positive so far. So, there's my woohoo!

[MummyNaomi]

Thats awesome Amy - congrats to you!! I'll Woooohooooo right along with you!!

When do you start? How exciting, that sounds like a great job to have and I agree, that would be very interesting!!

[Snacks]

Yeah, I have chatted with the woman I'll be job-sharing with a fair bit today. She says once I get my head around it I'll probably find it really "pleasant" work, LOL! The downside is that it's 3 days per week, not 2, but I'll deal. Will have to work out childcare because the days are all wrong, but even with all that I feel really positive about it.
I am going to do two days next week - starting on Monday! Eek! But that's mainly just training, observation etc. Then I'll go in on Thursday. Then the following week I'll do three days. But we're still working it out - there's a lot of training and its a pretty steep learning curve I guess. She did say that if I get a brain tumour I'm in the right place - he's a pretty damn good doctor. (He's no McDreamy though, PMSL!)

[Nicole S]

Congrats Amy on the getting the job
Ahhh McDreamy...yummy yummy....I wish he was the one looking after Aaron.

AFU, I have the referal for the CT which is on the 15th Feb and then seeing the neuro on the 26th Feb at 7.15am . At least by the EOM we will have a better idea on what is going on.

Thanks for all the cyber ladies it really means so much to me.

[~*Niadalla*~]

Congrats Amy !! That's fantastic news! Well done.

Thanks girls too. Seriously though... tell me to pipe down when required. lol

[Bridg]

Amy- Congrats on the job honey! That's awesome news!

Nicole- Huge hugs my lovely. You know my number if you need to talk.

[briggsy's girl]

congrats on the job Amy! fantastic news!

Nicky, i don't think you've been bragging any more than the rest of us! and definitely not in a "my kids are better than yours" way. all our bubbas will hit milestones slightly before or slightly after others in the group. doesn't make them better or worse. E was slower getting mobile, but has a good vocab, so it doesn't worry me and i'm sure it's the same for everyone. Naomi - if those biatches upset you about Bailey's mobility again, let me at them! B will get there soon enough and when he does, you will be able to celebrate just as we have. for now though, you need to focus on the things he can do in spite of his brace - he's doing damn well!

Nicole - wouldn't it be funny if the neurosurgeon you're taking A to is the one Amy is working for now?? sorry - was the first thing i thought!

AFU - meltdown city last night - think E had a belly ache - has been her normal self today though - go figure!

[MummyNaomi]

BG - Good advice, I normally do focus on all the good stuff, but when sometimes some people just have a way of making you feel crap by bragging about their own achievements (or their babies in this case). Luckily my mothers group will just continue with the three of us only, no more visits from these Mums (I dont think we'll be inviting the others back again, I think we had forgotton how obnoxious they were), the girls I see each week are lovely and supportive, and one of the lovely Mums also takes her DD to swimming with Bailey and I. There are only three of us left, but as we will all be working part time, we should be able to continue meeting up and as we are all local, we are hoping our kids go to the same school hahahaha. I hadn't really expreienced the whole 'baby contest' mother before so now I know what others are talking about when they mention competitive mothers - they are innocent babies FFS!

Nicole - Best of luck (and lots of hugs) for Feb 15th and 26th , I hope you get great news, especially as you will have to get up so early - thats one early appt!!!! I hope you are able to enjoy the next weeks and not stress too much about the appt, but as Mums is easy to give ourselves that advice, but much harder to follow it! Oooooh McDreamy - wouldn't it be lovely to have him as your doctor!! I think I'd invent all sorts of medical problems just so he could give me the once over PMSL

Nicky - I had a chuckle at the thought of someone trying to tell you to pipe down - I reckon you'd just laugh at them and keep chatting away hehehehehehe. No piping down required!!

I'm starting to plan Baileys First Birthday, Its only really 2.5 months away and I want it pretty much sorted by the time I go back to work (which is only 4 weeks now arrrggghhhhhh). I need help with some wording on the invites though, this is what I have, but it just doesn't 'flow' nicely, any ideas? BG you have some talent in this area...... its really the last line that's doing my head in

no rush, I have a few months hehehehehe

[~*Niadalla*~]

I'm no good at workding... although maybe I should be? LOL

Good old DH has just brought DS out to the lounge room ( he's woken up from his sleep) and put him in his indoor cubby with some pillows and blankets.
He can deal with him tonight then!!

[briggsy's girl]

no, no you don't! lol - isn't it only 2.5 months?? bwahahaha

[MummyNaomi]

BG - the word "smarta*se" popped into my head for a moment there LOL, but I wont insult you properly until AFTER you have helped me HAHAHAHAHAHAHA - KIDDING of course!!

Come join us as we celebrate
our Rockstar turning one!

????? i'm guessing Rockstar is important so just changed it a little...


don't fret about planning early - i have already been talking to DH about whether we'd have a "theme" as such. E is such an easy going kidlet and just enjoys everything - so we can't do a particular theme (she is obsessed with her pool, but late may and pools - i don't think so!) - so we have pretty much designed her birthday cake, and we're planning on having it on the day of her birthday given it's the Saturday (so, ladies, if you don't have plans on May 29 and want to make the trip out here, E's birthday is on!).

i have to decide how to work out her invites to link in with her cake (yes, i'm a weirdo like that) and then decide whether we have it here or at the local hall (or at mum's or my bro's - they are mildly more winter party friendly... have to work out exactly how to do her cake too - so that it works without looking crap lol - ideas are going a hundred miles per minutes but not sure how to put it in practice

Yep, rockstar is important

That's perfect!! You rock, are highly talented and I am using it - nice work! Thanks Lee, I knew you would make the words work!
