Happy Birthday to our darling Jazah - Hope you have a lovely lovely day, I'm sure your gorgeous family will spoil you just as you deserve!
Supa, I was cracking right up at Tia telling daddy "donalds" and then cracking up about how funny she is. Watch out you've got a bit of a clown there LOL. Looking forward to a playcafe date in a few weeks time when I'm recuperated, I think T and E will get on really well as they get older.
Noni, I meant to say a few days ago how fantastic your chrissy deccies that you've been making sound! Would love to do something like that with E but dont' have the organising power in me...wish I'd thought of it before surgery .
Ginger, did Ange change her username? Jeeps I completely missed that! LOL Glad you're squeezing in some more catchups, when r they heading off?
AFM - well the world still looks the same from my armchair LOL. Missy E was very clingy to me last night which is awkward because I can't respond physically very well. Both girls seem to have come thru the week pretty well - DH did a good job of keeping the routine going and keeping Missy E feeling secure etc and ofc DD1 has BTDT all before when MIssy E was born so she's coped really well and I don't think it's even occured to her at any point that it can all go wrong in hospy, so no stress there for her. Big gigantic massive PHEW from this mummy. She's bored out of her school holiday mind already (ah we're 3 days in!!!) so we're filling out paperwork for a school hol program near here for some excursion days like iceskating, waterslide and movies - break the weeks up a bit for her while i'm still useless. I've got a nurse coming out every day and they're referred me for some free cleaning thru the council but I haven't heard yet if that's approved - hope it is - my poor DH is exhausted. He's been sleeping on the floor cos there's no room left in bed once I'm spread out with my 6 pillows to get comfy LOL. That's true love for you. Dont' know how I got so lucky, really.
MD - that is love, sleeping on the floor! What a great DH you have, so glad that you are home and everything is looking good.
Well done to those with successful TT - Miss K decided on Saturday afternoon that she just wanted to wear undies. I think because I bought up big on nappies that morning.... anyway, one wee in the potty on Saturday, then on Sunday a poo and two wees in the undies. So not a big success, but if she wants to wear undies then I'll let her around the house.
Work is totally flat out, two jobs out for tender at the moment and I'm being pulled every which way. But that's nothing to what poor DH is doing at the moment so things are pretty crazy at home too.
hi everyone
Cally - YAY for holidays! are you going to be in canberra or staying put? i am at mollymook from this sat for a week... if you are venturing up that way let me know... would be fun to have a play date (with N this time)
MD so good to see you back... and what a wonderful Dh you have
omg jacob is up... n ot getting any BB time at the moment... will try to come back later
MP, Ford Territory's are nice (don't have one but a friend does). The other car that is similar is a Toyota Highlander. We had one as a rental once and it was great. The rear seats fold completely flat so you have a mega boot when they aren't in use instead of taking up space like some fold up back seats do.
Junglemum, I owe you an apology - I just read the guidelines about not posting someones real name if it isn't in their sig and for some reason I always use your name. So sorry, I won't do that any more. I love your new username and avvy, looks great! How long until you go? How is your brother?
Leanne, WTG Livvi with the TT! That is great! How are your cousins kids doing now?
MD, hope you are feeling alright. Your DH must be made of gold!
Noni, I am very impressed with all your crafty ideas.
Ginger, the DVD player was a life saver! It kept W busy while we stopped multiple times for A. I don't like travelling with two small kids, it is so stressful and I end up very grumpy.
Cally, yay for holidays! Are you going away somewhere? Sorry if you have already said.
Clare, how are you enjoying your home? It must be nice to finally have it after all the house shopping you did. Are you going to visit you Oma at Christmas time?
Toilet training is a no-go here. The suggestion of the potty is enough to cause a meltdown so we are just leaving it until he is a bit more positive about it.
Hopefully the being scared of the wind thing will pass soon, I am going stir crazy stuck inside but he just won't go out. I looked around yesterday and he was just putting the last couple of letters in his alphabet puzzle - he can do the whole thing by himself now! He is getting pretty good with the letters, he can recognise them but gets a bit mixed up with the word- A, B, Cat, Dog, Elephant, F...
Not a lot happening here. For the last two nights Miss A has been waking at 1am and 4am, not sure why but hope she goes back to one wake up soon.
hey everyone,
sorry im not keeping up.. im really freaking out this morning.. dh had to have an ultrasound on his prostate coz hes got some strange symptoms.. im really worried.. we should get the results back this afternoon i feel so lost.. idk i spose u always think of the worst in these situations im just crossing everything ive got that its not serious... sorry just needed to get that out...
went to CR sale this morning, queded(sp) up for 45 mins to get to cash register. luckily dad took L to the play area so i just had J in sling spent $600 all up whoops!!! but got lots of size 4 stuff for next season. unfortunately we got home and L threw up everywhere!! hope it's nothing....
L has a new favourite word 'Bartsimpson' all one word. will say it to anyone who will listen.
noni - i hope the ultrasound comes back clear and normal. Hugs to you - i can imagine how stressed you must be right now.
thankyou all so much for my birthday wishes. I really appreciated them
ginger - whoa - you had fun!!!! I got myself some shoes, but not the ones i intended on buying originally. I fell in love with a pair of Kathryn Leather wedges in Deep Barley instead. Tried on some nice white shorts, but you could see the pockets etc through them, and they looked terrible.
lol at L's new word. Hannah's new one is 'wait-a-sec' - but said altogether.
arte - have you tried flying a kite in the wind - or is it too extreme for that? He might enjoy making one and then testing it out.
cally - i can imagine how excited you must be about finishing work next week. Sounds like you are super busy. It's a good start that K is wanting to wear undies.
md - i hope you get the cleaner. Your dh is a trooper - keeping your beautiful girls happy and secure, AND sleeping on the floor. I imagine he'd do absolutely anything for you though
mp - dh and the girls gave me a new monitor for the computer (it's huuuuge - going to take a little while to get used to it) some pj's, and the girls made me some Country Road vouchers. ( i tried to cash them in at CR this morning, but the guy just laughed)
I also got a new phone - he wrapped it and called it when i got close to it
. I had a beautiful day
We've got Dh's work Christmas party tomorrow, and i'm dreading it. We had a catchup with a few families last weekend, and Hannah was a little horror. I was so embarrassed. She was cuddling one of the little bubs (approx 8 months) and always seemed to knock him over, and not let go. She then targeted his big brother - about 6 months older, and scratched him on the chest. she threw a couple of tanties, and everything was 'mine'.
I think my problem is that I worry too much about what other people think. She's just acting her age I guess. Tell me it's normal!!!!
supa - that's funny about T and the 'donald's'. How cute that she thought she was funny.
Jaz- Yep totally normal....... Oh and Xavier was going though a toy cataloge the other day and spotted a toy that Hannah has and told DH he also told DH that Hannah has the coolest toys..... Soooo Cute
Ginger- OMG 45min to get to register...... Hope J is ok
Well All good here DH has taken Livi to work with him today so when I rang him before she was having a ball running around. He took the boys last week on different days so they had some time with daddy by themselves at work..... Still havent gotten all my chrissy shopping done just have family members now and one more for Livi.. Fingers crossed I get it all done this weekend....lol
leanne - that's so cute! I did most of my shopping on-line this year - it was so much fun!!!! I went to Chermside this morning for an hour, and boy was it packed!!
that's so nice that your dh takes them to work with him.
hi all
Noni - I really hope all is OK. Thinking of you.xxx
Jaz - whata gorgeous DH you have - sounds like a fabulous bday... i am after some wedges, may have to go check out those ones now...
Ginger - nice haul my dear.. i didnt make it, had to take J to some appts this morning and then couldnt face theshops after that. was also in apart of town with no CR store...bummer. i doubt i will get there tom either as i have N and J all daya nd then sat we are heading to the coast. i bet the CR shop assistants are sending out a search party for me as i write!
Cally - shame we wont see you... we are also away when you are here so cant even arange a catch up then. wtg on the undies wearing.. though sounds messy!
Leanne - sounds like funa t your DH work. N woud love to see DH work - he thinks we both look at animals on gogle images all day. that or video clips on youtube, that said - he also asked me how my meetinsg went the other day and if they had a decaf latte there! he gets the corporate world already!
well i will be picking N up from Kindy in an hour or so and then he isnt back there til the end of Jan. wish me luck!
i just spoke to a lovely girl in Melb who looks like she will be our nanny for J. i am so excited to have that kind if sorted out. she is recommended to me by the girl who sits for me here (who is from melb and is a fab nanny) yay!
had to take J to the physio this morning re the limb stiffness. she wants the paed to check but i dont think it is anything serious, it is a lot better already. sghe wants me to encourage him on reaching etc - so of course i went out and got hims ome new toys! also went to the osteo and she is v pleased with his progress...
Noni, big big hugs from me - I know how scary it is...although the vast majority of these tests actually rule out anything serious. I hope you get some good results soon.
Jazah, bummer those CR vouchers were'nt good - too adorable that your girls made them for you.
Ginger, nice form at the CR shop!
Leanne - get cracking on that shopping it's ONLY A WEEK TO GO!!! lol (feeling superior because for once in my entire life all the shopping is DONE. Oh of course it's not wrapped up yet tho...)
thanks for the support everyone.. the test came back all clear.. everything looking normal.. only leaves a few things on what it could be but im pretty sure the scariest ones are ruled out.. very relieved here phew!
its all very exciting here.. ashas dummys are hanging on the tree to give to santa.. shes gone all yesterday and all today without one, last night was a bit rough but i think itll get easierthe teachers at school said she only asked once and then went to sleep i cant wait till xmas ive gone all out this year just amongst our own little family, asha and dh are going to be very spoilt, william hasnt got as much but i think he'll be more interested in the wrapping paper lol..
this year has flown!!
