Holy Crap Arte!! I bet that was a surprise. Is this why the talk the other day about vasectomies? Fingers crossed you get a sleeper this time LOL.
Cass, your avvy looks good! How do you make them?
Trill, the vasectomy talk was because I know how crap we are with contraception and I knew this would happen eventually lol Far out this kid had better sleep!
MD, lmao! We do have sex other times, just seems that December is when it happens.
I am not really surprised. I thought we were totally finished, but at the start of this month I just *knew* with absolute certainty that if we DTD I would get pregnant. I also insanely wanted it. I didn't want to make the decision so I did nothing and left it up to DH - he knew the risk and didn't take any precautions so it happened. I just had to wait a couple of weeks to test to know for certain.
Nothing much happening here for NYE. DH is going away hunting so I will be at home alone (with kids). I will probably be on BB chat like last year lol
I'm glad that you're OK with it. I didnt' want to rush and congratulate you because I know you've said in the past you just couldn't do it all again. But if you're happy then I'm happy for you :hug: So maybe it will be third time's a charm? LOL If you're on BB chat, I'll be there too - DH starts nightshift tomorrow night so I'll be home anyway.
So, what time do the Sept07 mummies storm the chat room??? It will be 43 here tomorrow so that has nipped our go-out-to-free-outdoor-family-events plan in the bud.
Far out! 43 deg? You've gt to be kidding. We'll get that weather next week and it will sure be a shock to go from a nice 32deg to a blazing 43! Once I get the kids to bed I'm free all night, so any time after 8pm (NSW time) is good for me.
hmmm it is going to be hot here tomorrow. what to do??!! i'm thinking shell pool in the shade and some crisp cold beers...
we are going up the hill to watch the fireworks at 9pm, but other than that i guess it will be melting and loving it lol!
we're going to the beach super early for a couple of hours then heading back for some kiddie pool time. then heading to our big hill LOL to watch the 9pm fireworks too.
no doubt i'll be on chat too but probably not till about 11pm or so?
On our way to the beach now and I'm talking to you all on my new iPhone that dh got me for Xmas! Gotta love it. I feel so spoilt, especially as I got him nothing!
Hope you're all keeping cool today. It's super hot here already
can you believe that i actually feel a little cold??!!! :o WTF?!! seriously i was under a blanket a few minutes ago. i wonder if i am coming down with something? i also felt a bit dizzy this morning...gosh i hope not.
have a great time at the beach! that was my plan for today, but unfortunately DH had other plans lol! so invited the neighbours for a lasagne master-class. AFM, well, i guess i will get me some beers and sit in the shell pool and get leila to coo like a sea-gull and steal my hot chips hahahaha!
how are you feeling now cass? hot????
hahaha! yeah pretty steamy now lol! was hanging outside while Leila and her mates splashed about in the shell pool, and then i got bitten by a bee! grrrr! and poor bee...
Far out you've had a crappy day Cass :hug:
Hiya ladies, just popping in to see if anyone made it to chat? Quiet one here, just got Missy E to bed (late I know) but DD1 is determined to stay up until midnight!
Cass, hope you're feeling better and you were consoled with yummy lasagna?
Ginger, yay for iphones, I just know you're gonna love it!
We had an unplanned visit to the local pool today...but of a challenge, it was the first time my wonky not-a-boob has been out in in public just in bathers, but I think ppl were too busy looking away from my luminescently-white fat thighs to notice hehehe. So nice to get sunshine plus cool water-based refreshment at the same time.
MD,I'm up for a chat! We went to the pool today too. I give up worrying about how I look in swimmers - I see all the other mums sitting in the toddler pool with the flabby bellies and jelly thighs without a care in the world, so figure I shouldn't care either.
Stupid Internet out, but now have my phone working so I'm feeling a little less disconnected.
Happy new year to y'all ladies.
Congratulations Arte! Sep will be a busy time at your house. :)
Md- what are the fairytale blocks?
Not much news here, quiet night last night, I went to bed at 930! Loser! Lol.
still hurling a few times a day and pretty over the whole thing. But it'll be over soon enough I guess.
How's those floods?! Far out. :o
hi girls!
i know the flooding is just insane. my thoughts are with Kate, poor girl; i can't imagine it.
Happy New Year ladies - i hope the year's bursting with juicy goodness for everyone! xxx
I was going to be in chat last night but I only lasted until 11pm (9pm NSW). But it turned out to be the best New Years ever! I got a full whole 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep! That has happened maybe 2 or 3 times in the last 3 years!
JM, I hope you start feeling better soon xx
I think W has overdone it on the bike - riding for 2-3 hours every day since Christmas so today he has had an enforced break. Actually he got it confiscated by his very loud and irritating behavior lol. I think he needs a bit of recovery time because his behavior has gone way downhill over the last week. Not sure if it is because he is so tired from all the bike riding, because DH is home all day or because of the dog but I am hoping he gets over it soon.
BTW, how messy are kids!!?? I knew that Chimmy cleaned up after them quite a lot, but I had no idea how much! I am forever picking up bits of food from everywhere now :(
Trill, your new pup looks adorable!
Hi girls!
:dance: WTG Arte :dance: haha! trust that the night you go to bed late-ish the kids sleep well lol! what was W doing with his bike?? was he riding it inside or just being crazy on it?
JM: blurgh! i can't believe you are still having to deal with chronic spewing matches like that...you poor wee poppet xx it's a good thing these babies are so cute when they are born huh?! are you coming back here to have baby?
MD: back at ya babe! here's to loads of bursting goodness coming your way this year..especially if haighs has a ganache filled chocolate on the shelves :)
AFM: well, my friend up the road has given us a bit of heath ledger :rofl: we mentioned that we wanted to line the inside of Leila's cubby and he is in the film industry and came down with some old props (a working fridge etc etc) and also brought some flat boards for us to nail onto the walls for lining...i noticed some fake blood splatters and he casually mentioned that it was used in a scene where dear old (sexy lol) heath had to lie on itl! ahhh my own piece of hollywood hahaha. got his footprints and all!! but hopefully not his ghost :o
Cass, that is cool about the Heath memorabilia! I forgot to say - the FB pics of your cubby are very very cool! W wasn't being silly on his bike, just the rest of the time ie yelling inside, telling me "NO", general little things to p!ss me off lol. He actually seems a lot better today after a bike free day and a full nights sleep.
Well, it had to happen eventually - tonight is W's first ever night away from me! DH has taken him rabbit shooting and camping tonight. From the text I just got they are having lots of fun.
MD, I was just watching the news and (this is probably old news to a buff like you but...) Oprah is starting her own TV network with Dr Phil, Dr Oz etc and she will be fronting a show 2-3 times per week so maybe you haven't missed your chance for a live audience with her.
How'd they go Arte? More to the point how'd you go??
Another lovely day here. Just made a yummo zucchini slice. Lu down building sand castles in the nude and S sleeping.
We have had a bit of a swimming breakthrough. Lu can now swim a few meters by herself from the wall to me and back. She was so pleased with herself. I must admit I was too, I can't wait for them both to swim well.
3 weeks till Melbourne again. I'm on the count down. It gets a bit lonely here, I don't have many 'friends' about. *cue violins* :p
awwww can't wait to see you JM. i think a beach trip is in order.
hi everyone!!! i dont have time to reply to everything but thought I would pop in to catch up and see how everyone is and wish you a happy 2011. I hope our little family has a yr of good news only...
and staritng off with Arte - wow.... congratulations! i reckon it has to be 3rd time lucky on the sleep front this time...sorry to hear about your dog.
sounds like you all had a fab xmas... and nye too. all great here, in nz and having the BEST holiday! quite relaxing (cnsidering 2 boys and jakey still not sleeping well etc) and just lots of great family time. boys are LOVING it!! we are on waiheke island now which also means we are getting a bit of 'adult' time as we can got ot he amazing vineyards at night. home on friday and back to reality. resolved to have more holidays this yr and even long weekends - we were all so run down it wasnt nivce the last 2 months...
JM, Ging, Cass - would love to do a meet up when JM is here, if we can do a mon or a weekend i can make it work... PLEASE! or an evening sans kids sp we can actually talk and no one gets spewed on??!!!
Also hanging out for March meet up...
better go, we just got the boys to la la land and a glass of red awaits...
What about a girls dinner, then the men can watch the kidlets? Or in my case my mum. :)
You can leave the kids behind, but there is still a spew threat if JM is there! Hope you are feeling better by then JM xx
JM, awesome about L swimming! That is really cool. W still won't put his head under and is happier in the knee high paddling pools or grips on for dear life if we have him in a deeper pool. He has never been water confident. A on the other hand is a total water babe, hopefully we can get some swim lessons started up for her when kindy goes back.
MP, glad you are having a good time in NZ. We sure turned on the good weather for you! It has been sooo hot! I probably shouldn't compain compared to Aust temps in the 40's but today must have got to 30 degrees at least and the kids got sunburnt even with spf40 sunscreen on! It is just so intense here, courtesy of the altitude and that handy ozone hole.
I was fine with W being away, I love him but geez he is a high maintenance kid! I can't believe that I ever thought I was busy with one kid lol. I think we might have wandered into 'threenager' territory - the NO! and lying and general disobedience! Far out! I am still holding out hope it is just a holiday high and maybe it will go away when we get back to routine in a few weeks (insert a little praying symbol here)
:rofl: Arte. Too right! Look out.
Have you tried goggles for W? Lu won't put her head under without them.
Arte, A is the same with water - loves the toddler pool but he is like the flipping gingerbread man when you take him into the big pool and just keeps climbing higher :lol: but when we did swimming lessons last summer by the end of them he was fine in the big pool - its just that all the hard work gets undone over winter so you have to start again LOL.
JM, I get what you mean. even for all the technology you have to keep in touch, it would still be pretty isolating to live there at times. And YAY on the new house Meri too! I hope you don't have a repeat of last time.
MP, great to see you pop in! The holiday sounds great. I'd love to go away on more trips too, but we just never have the time anymore.
Hi girls!
arte: how was the night sans W? I sheepishly admit that I do enjoy the one one time with the girls. Such a good chance to just enjoy and not be too spread out attention wise iykwim.
MP: oh man your holiday sounds amazing! Mmm I could go some red right now...
JM: I do remember the loneliness at times when living in Fiji. Although Internet was so incredibly slow that it would literally take 30 mins to open hotmail. So I became snail mail extraordinare lol!
I too am envious of Ls swimming aim so nervous with Leila around water. It is def my "thing". Need to get her in lessons so that I can learn to calm down lol.
AFM: we are good overall. Leila is a bit challenging ATM; for some reason she has been really testing her boundaries in relation to her friends. Like today she hit her good friend and made him cry and then lied about it, THEN laughed about it :o
I also look forward to going back to normal after xmas. Although DHs dad is coming in 4 weeks time...just been informed.
Bbl am on iPod and it is a real PITA to type with lol
Hi girls, I'm sitting in the carpark at Warren glen with a flat battery so thought I'd catch up on the goss! Dh is on his way to rescue me. Thank goodness j has fallen asleep lol
I'm keen for catch up, with or without kids, whatever works
sans kids is a bit hard for me ATM with Marta...she is a boob monster. but am happy to take her with me if we do a dinner...
G: ah sheesh! gotta love a flat battery...hope that DH did the knight in shining armour for you xx not fun! (in another *fun* driving story i almost wiped us out on a kerb with a pole going around a corner. not fun at all.
Babies don't count Cass!!! Just noisy toddlers. Lol
Did you put your bonnet up G??? Did the night in shining amour come??
I think a girls night with just us mums and Marta sounds great
that sounds good to me... would 8pmish be too late for people though? it gets hard for me too much earlier once i get home from work and put boys to bed etc...
where would work to meet up?
8pmish can work for us. i might even be able to leave marta at home lol.
8pm is like midnight to me! I go to bed at 9.30!
LOL Ginger. I would go to bed then too if A wasn't such a night owl. She has been up until at least 11pm four out of the last five nights and it is 9.15pm now and she is showing no signs of going to bed.
Was Cally going on holiday? Everytime she doesn't post for a while I imagine some Lego project gone terribly wrong - a slight miscalculation and then she, her DH and K are trapped in their lounge by three foot thick walls of Lego....
You're a crack up Arte. Poor Cally surrounded by Lego!
What if we have a morning breakfast or brunch meet up?
I love brunch, :) but it's no fun with my two toddlers!! could we do a sat breaky/brunch without kids?
:rofl::
:ROFL::
Also, where is MD??!!
I am MORE than happy for a brunch...i can always kill a massive breakfast lol! but i will have Marta that's for sure...DH would pass out if he had to take both girls on his own lol.
