Hi Girls - my goodness I've missed so much as I've been MIA for a few days!

Hi Madame - are you feeling better? I hope so......and like the other girls have said, don't worry, we are here for you so vent away, god knows I did it the other day! And my DH p's me off too, in the midst of all this business with this visitor girl from the UK I got the dreaded "well you don't work anymore" comment and I seriously had to walk away as I very nearly punched him in the groin and I'm not just saying that either! Grrr. It's like we all need blow up punching bags with our DH's heads on them hey girls! Hmmm, could be a market for that! We love ya Sarah so let us know if we can help make you feel better. You should see our house, it looks like a friggin bomb's hit it, I just can't find the time or energy to tidy up and I've got to the point where I just don't care!

Hi Kymmy - oh poor you and Archie, it's not your fault silly, how were you to know?! He's obviously a tough little cookie then isn't he! It will mend and he will be fine don't worry. Gosh, he's had his first break of probably many, boys ha ha! I'm surprised DH survived his childhood when I listen to his mum talk of what he used to get up to! I just hope he doesn't have Amelia climbing rooftops and trees like he used to, gulp!

AFM - well, it's been a very full on few days for us. The funeral was on Friday and was an extremely long and sad day. On Sunday we decided to head down to our farm house and visit mum as she lives in the same town and we stayed the night, was nice to get away after all that stress. Evidently, the girl from the UK who I was telling you about the other day was actually quite nice, I kinda felt bad for bagging her out in the end ha ha. I definitely think she has some issues, too long to talk about here but still, DH is aware and agrees. She has some demons from the past that's for sure! She goes home today, am glad really because we've been having to ferry her around everywhere and keep her amused, although she didn't come down to the farm with us, DH wouldn't have dared! She went and visited another friend for the night, phew! I will say though that she did bring a present from the UK with her for Amelia, some little bathers and they are just adorable and will fit her now. I thought that was really sweet of her and I felt even more guilty after what I was saying before I met her ha ha. She did mention to me when we were alone that she looks at DH like a brother and knows he would do anything for her, I told him and he went, oh would I? He doesn't really feel the same as her I don't think which I kinda feel sorry for her for in a way as she's expecting him to stay in touch a lot and I don't think he will, he's hopeless like that! But today she's heading home, he has to take her to the airport so I've told him to go alone as my sister is having a bbq and swim at hers for Aussie Day, he should be back in time to eat hopefully....was a bit annoyed as none of the others have offered to keep her entertained or take her places! Will be nice to have some time to ourselves back though!

Well Amelia had been doing great, she did three 7 hour nights in a row but it got ruined going down to the farm. She had to sleep in the pram and it's getting too squishy for her so she only did 4 hours and then struggled to get her back to sleep. Last night was better, 6 hours....I think she would've gone longer but she hadn't had a poo since Saturday so I think her tummy was feeling a bit sore poor petal. She's all good now though as she had a nice big one this morning LOL. Everyone at the funeral commented on how good she is and I realised she is, she is such a good baby really. She looked so gorgeous too in her little dress and matching frilly knickers. Paul's mate and his partner had a 3 week old there and he was crying the whole day, I felt so sorry for her but at the same time chuffed that Amelia was so good, how horrible am I ha ha! I forget her being 3 weeks old, think I've blocked that out of my head.

Oh and how ridiculous is this.....I've decided I don't like my pram, after spending nearly $400 on it I don't like it! I've got a Steelcraft Acclaim but I just find it quite heavy even though I thought it was light in the shop compared to the others at the time! It's hurting my hands and arms when I lift it into the back of my big car and it annoys me how I have to flip the handle and press this lever and pull this and that to collapse it. I've seen another I like in Target, the Steelcraft Cruiser - you can also buy a bassinette type carriage with it which I wouldn't really need now as Amelia won't be in that for long, does anyone have one? They were on sale but sold out when I went yesterday so have put one on raincheck, if it comes in I'm really tempted to get it but feel silly as we already have the other one. DH did say we could keep the other down the farm....just this one is so much lighter although I didn't really try collapsing it so should go try that out first. I just preferred the look of it too and it was a smidgen wider in the carriage part so Amelia wasn't so squished in, it just seemed more open. How silly am I looking at buying a different pram!!!!!! I do this, get bored or buy things too quickly and then find something else I prefer, I'm terrible!

Well, as usual I've crapped on, I do it when I haven't been offline let alone when I've been offline for a few days! Sorry girls but thanks for listening.

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!
