Ali Hope your all feeling better, farm shop for cheese, sounds good !! I pick mine up at Sainsburys :( occasionally at food markets when we get to them. I loovvvee cheese !
Fizz I feel for ya on the dad front, every time i go home, after a few weeks i need a break from my ma, its like being 15 again everytime i go home, hopefully this time with DI, she will realise i am a capable adult now !
Ilike Hope you had a wonderful Bday !
Mrs Wajs No teeth here yet either at almost 8months, i love her little gummy smile !
JKS Is it super hard with just a 20month gap ? what would you think is an ok gap, we were thinking of trying in another couple of months, but now it seems so soon and i cant imagine sharing my time with DI with another little one but dont want a big gap !
Chilli ahh Mega Naps where you actually run out of things to get done are sooo nice ! Hope you had a fantastic birthday.
Cycle Congrats to your friend, hope she & bubba are doing well !
Kitty Hope ya enjoying the sleeping thru !
Star Very jealous of your snow !
Arch That is lovely, hope you spend it on something lovely for yourself, nice mani/pedi, back massage perhaps !! ahhh, thats my favourite way to treat myself ! Re Hubby Bday, mine this year did nothing, picked up a card & flowers that morning, we had only has DI 3 weeks but i had been talking about my bday for ages (I love my bday), so i say no excuse's. But i cant help myself, i plan to do nothing back as punishment but i physically cant ! I end up doing all the things i would have like to have had on my bday, and end up really enjoying it ! Unfortunatly DP doesnt seem to get guilts about not doing the same back for me, he just enjoys his day, none the wiser !
We received DI's secret santa this morning, 3 lovely little gifts for her, all beautifully wrapped in pink snowy penquin paper, they r now sitting under the tree, until opening day ! R we opening Xmas Day all ? So Thank You SS, we r both very excited already !!
Sent off mine a few days ago, so hopefully recipient has received it ! Got DI's passport application sent off, I hope ive left enought time, 7 weeks till i go home to Sydney for 2 months, im beyond excited !!! The only crap part will be the 24hour flight in economy, which going over i will have DP but on the way back, its just DI & me ! Then a month after im back, ill probably be finally back at work, which im not remotely looking forward too !! But still sun, beach & family for 2 months, yay !
We put up lights around the lounge room yesterday and putting up the tree today, i have been trying to get it up for 2 weeks now but we have just been so busy !
Bought DI's xmas pressies, got a Fisher Price animal train thing, a pink vtech baby laptop and a bead frame, so i dont think i went as overboard as i could have. We r going to get a massive wooden ruler child height board for DI's 1st bday (missed the xmas order deadline) it starts from 50cm so we can start tracking DI's height, i always seem them do that in movies, & want to do it too !
Also found a place that does hand painted personalised wooden name plaques which i also missed xmas deadline for so will get for 1st bday . I dont think we will ever find signs with Dylan-Indianna on them !!
A lady at my mummys coffee group came in with this carrier called a hippychick baby carrier, its to help carry ya little un on your hip. I bought one on ebay for £6, its great and so comfy for carrying DI when she is just in the mood for stand up cuddles !! (which we have to do a lot of) she just doesnt like ya to sit down for cuddles, gotta be standing !! Check it out: www.hippychick.com/index.cfm/product/hippychick-hipseat-15
My AF finally returned, only very minimal but after all the talk on here, ive decided to try out this Mooncup thingy, i quite like the idea it being reusable after being a total converted cloth nappy enthusiast ! Also seems like a healthier option then tampons !
Well, DI has been asleep for an hour, so its been nice catching up on you all ! I reckon i might get another hour so im off to make a victoria sponge ! Diet to start after Xmas !! I put on a stone since having DI !! Didnt gain a kilo during pregnancy and was a stone lighter after having DI and now back up to my now overweight pre-pregnancy weight !! Damn, i wish i didnt like cake so much, would really like to slim down a little before hitting the beaches at home in Feb !!
Have a fantastic weekend all, if ya made it to the end of my humongous post !!
PS Ecuse How were your Underwater pics ? I cant wait for ours to arrive, we got a big metallic print copy & the digitals !
