February 2010 babies!

Not long now then Tif!

Kelly, I think had we nno moved it may have been different as sh really struggled at first esp going to the ILS and then our own place!

lol Maia is still no where near TT, we'll definitely be waiting til next year sometime.

Em, yep I got a couple I got ayannah and carnivale. Yay! The countdown is on til your holiday! Hope the break lets you hold on at your mum's a bit longer FX.

Not much going on here either - getting back into the swing of things after the holidays.

Oooh haven't been back to the other page to check your ticker Tiff, but it can't be too much longer now? Sending you lots of easy labour and birth vibes

Hi ladies, haven't been in here in yonks so have a lot of reading to do! Will give a quick run down on how we've been and will pop back in later after the midget is in bed to catch up on the rest.
Wedding is less than 16wks away now, creeping up on us fast! I'm sure most of you have caught up on my dress drama but have found a new dress now, it's gorgeous, and a lady from a dress place heard about my bad experience with ordering online and receiving duds so she is going to donate a bridesmaids dress! Nice ay
Study is, well, not going as great as I'd hoped. I just never have the time for it so the next few assignments I'm really going to have to knuckle down and get them done!! I have till March to finish the course tho but with the wedding in a few months time, I wont really get a lot of time for studying! Stressful times!
Isla STILL not walking. She walks around furniture etc and can push her pram around but she has no confidence on her feet whatsoever. She doesn't even stand up unless she is holding onto something. Kinda stressing that she wont be walking by the time the wedding comes round!! Hopefully she walks soon!!!! It's so frustrating. She is so clever tho. COming up with heaps of words etc now and doing puzzles for 3yrs +. She is very much a thinker. She is a bit of a nurturer as well. She is always putting blankets over her toys and making them kiss each other. She has a few my little ponies and she builds little houses for them to go into. Super cute.
We've decided to start TTC in Jan next year. We are only going to have 2 so wanted them close (ish) together. I will probably then be a stay at home Mum cause my Mum wont have the time or energy to look after 2 kiddies, and there is no point me working if we have to pay for daycare.
So yea, that's pretty much us at the moment. Looking forward to next year cause a) I wont be planning a wedding anymore, b) will almost be finish studying and c) will be trying for another bub which means no more work! YAY! I need to RELAX!!!!!!!

Be back later to catch up on the rest of you

Emma - have a great holiday I'm very jealous!!

Lisa - wow that is awesome of the lady to donate a dress, you deserve it though!! Yay for ttc as well that's so exciting

Danelle - I can't wait to see pics of your little girl I bet she will be georgous!!

Quiet in here,

Emma, hope the news about your back is getting better. Glad to here the wedding plans are falling into place Lisa.
Hope Quin is feeling better now Limo.

Just a quick update on us, had the results of DF's latest scan today and he is responding perfectly to treatment, doc is really happy and is hopeful that they are on the right track for a cure. Got to take him in for a blood transfusion tomorrow but other than low blood count he is doing really well.

We have decided to go on holiday when his treatment is finished, probably Fiji for a sneaky island wedding. Not telling anyone IRL yet just waiting for the ok from the doctors but had to tell someone lol

Oh Kats that gave me goosie bumps! So happy he is doing so well, a sneaky Island wedding will be just what you guys need, that is so awesome

Ouchies about your back Em but yay, Not long till you head away on Holiday! Jealous!!

I totally need a holiday, so friggen stressed out right now! I'm looking forward to this year being over lol. Can't believe it's coming up to 1yr since the ground started shaking (and never stopped...). Was upstairs at Mum's when I was picking Isla up earlier and there was a good jolt. 'only' a 3.3 but enough to get your heart racing!

Not long now Tiff, you must be getting excited!

Jealous of you ladies using cloth naps and buying cool new ones! Isla had been in cloth naps full time from about 5 months old but she kept getting infections 'down there'. It got real nasty at one point and scabbed and has left a big scar But it will go away eventually. So she is in disposables now cause it seems to be the only way to keep the infection away.Doc doesn't know why. Bit of a bummer.

Found out what DF's work are doing for their Xmas do this year... flying all staff up to Auckland for the night, putting us up at the Copthorne after having dinner, drinks and dancing aboard a 72ft Catamaran out in the harbour! Oooh swanky! lol Will have to buy myself a new outfit! It's on the 10th of Dec so we will be newly married, so will be nice to get a night by ourselves! Bit nervous about leaving Isla in CHCH tho... I will miss her so much and will feel so far away from her! Still haven't had a night away from her and I'm so sad that on our wedding night she will be staying away from us. How sad is that, most people can't wait to have a night alone! lol
Would be great to meet a few of you Auckland Mama's while we are up there but not sure we will have time, we are only up there for 24hrs
