Hi Ladies

Simon ag Josh is soooo cute! Looks like you are handling a newborn and a pre-schooler very well!!! How many weeks until you return to work? Will Cynthia look after Josh then? Lol Addy sounds sooo cheeky....but so cute! Im with you on th nagging/whining it drives me up the wall, more so when it starts the moment he opens his eyes...like this morning!

Nelria nice to hear from you...you are busy busy as always! Yay on getting Xen off the dummy with out any problems. Good luck re:internship - i hope you hear of something soon!

Mandy i hope you, Jenna, Cam and hubby are all doing well!

Ally love the look of your new website - very very stylish - and such yummy food as always! Good luck for the voting comp!

afm - just been busy as always. Otherwise all is well, K being super naughty,cute, well mannered, cheeky and whiny all together lol. He is sleeping terribly and only settling at 9 at night now plus he wakes up a million times and wants me to sleep with him - i really do not know what to do about it anymore, but its exhausting. Dh of course thinks theres nothing wrong with it but thats because he is not the one who gets up during the night etc.

Diet going well, i only really have some cheats on the weekend.

Otherwise i hope everyone is keeping well.

galoooooooooooo strangers

WOW so the thread seems so dead havent been on in a mnth and only 2 pgs to catch up to shoeweeeeeee

I am well - busy with deep clean before internship starts so workin working and more working

mixed with shopping and admin want no loose ends if i am to work from mrch

xen is now 20mnths - talking up a storm very cute but man oh man aggressive he bites and scratches if we cant understand him - very anoyed so being very stern with him dont want him to be bully

lea - doing oh so well too clever, independant and really no qualms - sleeps through, eats well and nice in general to her boeta

both at school now and loving it

lea obsessed wih same things like a handbag filled with all sorts goes everywhere, as well as her teddy and a baby in a sleeping travel cot so my hands super fulll on every trip out as xen has his teddy and his schoolbag that he needs again

xen gives dummy up easily enough so not worried like with lea so yey

both sleep from 7.30-5 through no wakes and goes to sleep in dark by self (took lea's tv and best choice ever)

Okay i'm back.

Helen...will keep your family in my prayers. Tough time:( Nina sounds very cute and so great that you've found a playschool. We are still waiting to hear if ADDISON got in at our first choice school for next year....they said letters come out in March and I havent even heard about an interview....so may need to think of a back up:(

Angelique....so glad the driving lessons are going well. Test date??? YIKES!!! I'm sure when you go you'll ace it...we'll all keep fingers crossed. Sorry if you dont want me to ask...ignore the question....but how is the ttc going? I mentioned late last year that you shoudl ask doc if metformin will help with fertility...not sure if you saw that post? Mandy and i were both on it when we conceived.

Julz its great that you are loving your job:) Re: maid...no idea how u do it...I can barely keep place clean with Cynthia being here everyday!!!

Nicole I so desperately need to diet!!!!! Been eating such junk the last 2 weeks....my face has broken out with pimples as a protest against the shyt i'm eating! I dont know why i am eating so badly now....i'm sure i've put on 3kgs...scale battery flat so i go on in denial:(

Ally will check out the new blog.

AFU....everything is good. Addison still loves school. She wakes her dad up and tells him she's going to be late.. I threaten her that she WONT go to school and then she comes asking every 2 minutes...can I go to school tomorrow?? lol. She is very funny, very cute, and VERY naughty!!! I have now taken to locking her in the bathroom for a few minutes....madam grabs toothpaste and whatever else, throws it at the door...and then climbs in the bath to wait for me..lol...so its not working! She is soooo stubborn! Though seems like its just their age...their cleverness???

G got himeself an ipad a few weeks ago....Addison will nicely tell me: mummy please fetch my ipad...I need to do something quickly! OR See mummy...I am on your facebook! WTF she knows about FB i dont know...but man she is impressive with navigating on that thing.

Joshua...my little...well not so little...my big boy! He is about 60cms tall now...weighing about 6kgs!! He is so cute and sweet....but since he has a runny nose a week ago...sleeping pattern has gone down the toilet at night. Ladt night wasnt too bad..but he'd just let out a yell, G or myself would jump out of bed...and he'd be fast asleep again...did that like 5 times! Night before though we were each up about 3 times to just pat him back to sleep or feed him.

Addison besotted with him still...very sweet that we've had no jealousy issues...she's a great big sister and I'm very proud of her.

As great as she is...man the nagging and crying...I've started singing a song to her called 'naggy Addy'....lol. She hates it and stops crying and tells me to rather sing 'naggy daddy or naggy ma'...lol.

I go back to work in a few short weeks:( I'm still breastfeeding. its weird cause I know some people are BF fanatics...and they ask me if I love breast feeding...and I get quite stumped at that...lol. I do it because I should...how long I will continue I dont know...but ya...love is not the word I'd use....I tolerate it??? Maybe I'm a crappy mom...lol.

Mandy is in PE next week i think....so hopefully we'll hook up and the 2 new additions can meet each other and exchange sleep torture stories while Mandy and I knock back 5 glasses of wine...or tequilla!

Simone; Your son is so so so cute. Josh is really growing he looks like addy.

I am attending my sisters graduation (Hamilton - New Zealand) am quite excited as its my first trip abroad. rememebr my younger sister who stayed with me she is done with he junior degree. she is done and has a part time job there hopefully she will get something and pay for her post grad degree as she wants to continue.

Its going to be awesome.

True Nicole: nice to hear from the other mums

Helen so so sorry about SIL! But she sounds like a fighter who has already beaten quite a few odds...
