Hope your doing ok Heidi!! x

Thanks for your feedback on the strider Ally! I have decided ill end up getting the Strider compact and get 2 capsules to fit that. Seems like the best choice when thinking about school runs and versatility. I really love the look of it! Congrats the house! It sounds really perfect!
Well don't with Uni Mel! You have done a fantastic job!
I hope all goes well for your mums second op Bel x

Glad to hear Heidi!!
Haha, I was hoping no-one would see that Mel! Serious baby brain happening as I glanced at your sig just before I wrote my reply.Going good thanks. Only real issue at the moment is eating. I have no appetite and get full very easy so just making myself eat what I can. I'm also hanging out for my hospital appointment next week to make sure there is still 2 (I'm such a worrier).

Glad to hear you are doing ok too Heidi!

Amber - great choice on the pram. My capsule was my best investment with Charlie. Good luck with your doctors appointment. I'm the opposite with this pregnancy, I am eating for Australia!

Bel - did you find some support groups for your mum? I hope she is coping ok.

Mel - I was just looking at your signature and man have your kids grown!

Thermomix users - tell me all about them! What sort of dinners do you make in them? I'm not a huge fan of slow cooked dinners - are they anything like that? I'm really interested in being able to do healthy food, quickly. Suspect I'm going to have my hands full with the kids, work and Ben working away!

AFU - exchanging tomorrow on the new house with settlement at the end of May. A bit longer than normal but still haven't sold our house so that suits us. Seems all the first home buyers around here are after brand new largish homes not little old cottages - crazy! Anyway we have everything in place to rent this out if necessary but it's really not something I want to do.

I actually went and saw a psychic in Moss Vale after I found out I was pregnant and not only did she know I was pregnant (think I was 6 weeks at the time) but everything she said in relation to the house and new house is pretty much panning out! She also knew a lot about my boys personalities and an amazing amount about Ben and his super positive attitude, drive and that he works a lot- freaky! Most amazing experience.

Wow, you step out for a month or six and everything changes! Congratulations to both Amber and Ali....what fabulous news. I hope you are both feeling great and continue to do so. It's just like you Amber to take a shortcut to that large family tongue.gif Enjoy!

Heidi, I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you are doing ok.

Bel, so sorry to hear about your mum. I will keep everything crossed for her and hope that her surgery goes really well. Hopefully it will be the last one. Take care.

Mel, how fabulous that you have nearly finished your degree. Well done you!! I really admire you for getting through it with kids, I know I couldn't.

Ali, I hope your house sells quickly. We have just put ours on the market again after renting it out for 12 months and i have to agree, being a landlord sucks! Your new house is lovely, it looks like a real family home.

AFU, nothing much happening here. I am currently looking for a job as I hate working from home. Now that both kids are at school I would really like to join the land of the living again. Wish me luck, jobs here are hard to come by. The kids are semi settled into school. I would still like to change schools but the kids are totally against the idea. There is a great Montessori school in Buderim which seems perfect but I don't think I can convince them to move. I worry that their current school is too small to offer them a huge variety of options a bit further down the track. I thought all the stress about schools would end once they started but it hasn't!

Hi to all and I will make sure I pop in occasionally to catch all the gossip.

Hope your house sells Ally! Very freaky about the psychic. I would be blown away if someone made accurate descriptions like that about me.
I have never had a capsule before, but now I reckon it will be a life saver!


laugh.gif I sure don't do things the easy way hey heather! Feeling great here, thank you! Good luck on the job front.

Not much to report here. We are currently on school holidays and its a much needed break for all. I savour the days I don't have to do school runs and we have been keeping quite busy & social!
Having a few health issues with early glucose testing, high blood pressure and have been put into the high risk unit of the hospital when I have appointments, which is a standard I think for twins alone, but still just sounds so scary.
We are on the countdown to the 20 week scan....well its a little over a month away, but we are eager to know what these babies are.

Hope everyone is well x

Amber - how are you going? Feeling well? I'm loving all your baby pinning on pinterest. I've found a love for grey, white, pale yellow and chevron biggrin.gif

Heather - good luck on the job front. Working from home is the pits. I miss the social element of working at my old work. I'm just about to hire an offsider so that should make my job slightly less lonely, although I've become quite partial to long lunches with girlfriends on my work days - perk of being partners with the boss haha.

Heidi - how are you going? You seem to be having a patch of bad luck. Hopefully everything is on the upswing now, you deserve to catch a break.

Not much happening here, feels like we've had a run of sickness and I think poor Charlie has had at least 1 day off each week for the last month. He usually comes to work, at least then I can get something done. We have 3 weeks until settlement, feels so far away still but I know I should start packing up what's left of the house (lots already in storage, which I don't think actually needs to come to the new house lol - amazing how much useless stuff you accumulate hey).

I had my 20 week scan on Wednesday and think all looked well. Will start seeing my OB in a couple of weeks. Just need to get the car sorted. Really leaning towards a multivan but think the IMAX might be better value. I also ordered a Thermomix which arrives on Tuesday - haha can't believe how excited I am about a kitchen appliance.

Old house still on market, have had a bit of interest but in back of mind I think I've made peace with renting it out if need be, just lucky we can be in that position I guess. Will just have to make a rule not to drive past all the time and judge the tenant. Will be pretty hard to separate my emotional attachment to the house!
