March & April 2008 Mummies

Woah - its been a while!

Hope everyone is doing well.
Kylie, how did Jackson appointment go? Happy Belated Birthday!!! Thank you so much for inviting us, I was gutted we couldn't make it.

Nothing much exciting to report here, Life is just ticking along. Funky monkeys were cool, Maddi loved them!
I still need get of my butt and do something about TTing.
I am really tired at the moment though, I think I am fighting something off.. have a really sore throat at the moment.

Daph I saw the photo on FB and it's gorgy!!

Everybody keep shhh about the TTing I'm ignoring it here too. Not that I can do much while we're away anyway but both are now starting to show ready signs.

All is going well here, we went to France for the long weekend which was awesome. I didn't have my camera but SIL took loads so am waiting impatiently to see them

Hello...

How is everyone??

Daph, only 2 weeks until you finish work The countdown is getting close! I so cant wait Hope that baby is still behaving... Maddi seemed to be transverse all the time right up to her birth, I really dont know how she had so much room, I would often feel her doing full flips and I used to think she was having far too much fun to ever come out.
Keira just had her Kindy photos too and I cant believe how old she looks in her class, only a couple of months and shes at school... now thats scary!

Trish, Where are you theese days... I want to go somewhere.

Kylie.... you redeemed your voucher yet

I am still being lazy on the toilet front here, I just have to do it but I find it so hard when we are out in the mornings (playgroups etc) then she has a sleep (or at least I try to get her to have a sleep) and then there is only a few hours until bedtime and I am frantically busy in that time getting dinner sorted and everything.... gosh I am shocking at making up excuses! She is really really good at telling me when she wants to go when she wants to, she still goes in her nappy sometime but only because she can. I have just brought some training pants so will see how we go with them.

She is talking so much, I think she can almost hold a full conversation with Keira I used to think Keira talked a lot but now having two of them going at once

4:20 AM!!?
I hope you managed to get to sleep! Did you make it to work in the end?
Yay for having a replacement. And to Lilia helping you up. She is going to be such a helpful big sister

I was having a pretty good day at home today until about 4. Maddi decided not to sleep today, she just sat in her bed and played quietly for a couple of hours, turns out she doesn't handle not having an afternoon sleep so well. Is anyone else still having their afternoon naps?? I know Keira had stopped them well before she was 2 and I am thinking I may be heading near to the end of them

I couldn't survive if Lilia didn't nap! Ollie still occasionally naps too. We didn't stop his until he was about to go to kindy, so he was around 3 & a half-ish. I hope Lilia is the same!

Lol @ the knock knock joke Trish! And I bet the girls grandparents are loving having them there too.

Didn't end up going to work the other day. I got into bed at 5am and then the kids woke and came into our bed for cuddles. It was lovely but didn't really get much of a sleep before I would have had to go to work!

I'm really stoked right now, just got back from seeing the mw and bub is head down and engaged! Yay, it's such a feeling of relief. The funny thing is everyone told me I would feel him flip but I really have no idea when he did He did drop the other weekend and my mw says it was probably then. Right better get back to it, lunchtime is already over ... whoops!

I think that routine sounds awesome Trish, especially the bit where you nap too!

Another early morning for me though not quite as bad as the other day thank goodness! Wouldn't be so bad if I had a bub to care for.

My replacement starts today, yay! At least we'll have over a week for a good handover.

FIL ended up in hospital yesterday. He has gotten so weak and frail it's sad to see. DH & his brother had to discuss the current DNR order and that had to be the worst conversation for them

Anyway I'd better start getting stuff ready for today. It takes me such a long time to do things these days. Not sure if it's being preggy, the cold or simply lack of motivation!

You must be on your way home Trish? Home the girls are being as well behaved on the way home as they were on the way over!

Christy - I totally understand! When Lilia got out of bed this morning I'm pretty sure her nappy was fairly dry. I probably should have got her on to the toilet, but well to be honest I just CBA!

Loving that this is my last week! I can't wait til Thursday night - my team are taking me out to dinner

That's not nothing, that's spending quality time with your girls! Plus it was a fairly awful day yesterday I think it's a great idea to be in front of a nice warm fire.

I've kept the kids in care for next week so I have 1 week to myself I kind of feel a little guilty about it ... but only a little

Saw my mw today and I'm measuring 41cm No wonder everyone thinks I'm huge. Ah well she wasn't worried about it, so I'm certainly not

Oh dear Christy. Lilia also has a very stubborn streak and doesn't listen half the time. We have to say her name 3-5 time before we get a response and usually the response is along the lines of 'What?' and in a very similar tone to a sullen teenager!

I'm loving my week at home by myself (bad mummy!) but I'm getting lots of things done without feeling rushed or frazzled about it all. Saw my mw yesterday and all is looking good. Bub is measuring the same as last time which is good! At least he's not continuing to grow at an alarming rate Lilia was 9lb 2oz, but she actually measured a few weeks behind by the end of her pregnancy. I'm thinking this one takes after his brother and will be long and straight-backed, whereas Lilia was a squishy baby

Thats so awesome Christy!!! Well done!!!

I really need to get my A into gear and sit my full, I've 'only' had my restricted for 7 years (and had my learners for 10 years before that)

I can't wait to see who this bub will take after too. I hope he has dimples like his daddy Both O&L were overdue by 4 & 5 days respectively, so I expect this one to follow suit, just hopefully no longer than 5 days!

We are off to Auckland tomorrow for a photoshoot with Kylie - very exciting! Be nice to finally meet her and get some awesome photos to boot
