A very excited me I'm off to clean here's hoping that I can bring on labour ;)

Best of luck!

OH!! CBW!!

I can't believe the time is here already!!

I'll be in class all day, but you have that wonderful hubby of yours PM me or e-mail me with all of the info as soon as he can.

Oh, gawd, I wish I could be there!!

Woo Hoo! Congrats CBW and Ben. Definitely have him post and give us updates.

Hehehehehe I'm sure he will no doubt he will be utterly exstatic like last time lol

Give him the bag to start breathing in now... lol... no passing out Ben :)

Lol he won't pass out he was fine last time and kept me ultra calm and that's what its all about isn't it.

Good job Ben! I am sure he will do the same this time.

I have no doubt about it he is most definitely the calm part of us as a couple hehehehe

Good luck Curly I hope all goes well for you and your little blessing.

Hehehehehe just been in to get my pre meds and have bloods done that's it now ill be in a hospital bed from 7.45am tomorrow :D

Oh, maybe I'll know something by the time I get up!! That is 1:45 my time.

I can't WAIT!!

Oh, and by the looks of the tummy pics, you can't wait either.

Hehehehehe you think, doubt he will leave me at all during the day so he won't be online till she is in bed tomorrow night :D

Gawd, I wish I could be there for you!!

It's killing me being so far away from my best friend at this very special time. Boo Hoo... but hey, I'll have a new nephew in only a few more hours!

Hehehehe yep I'm having guilt trips over leaving millie though we have never been apart more than 3 hours at the most :(

That can be hard. But, I'm sure you will enjoy finally getting some real rest again.

Oh my beautiful Laura

( and my beautful J - love you peas in a pod)

Your in my thoughts, prayers and heart.

Try and not feel guilty for that adorable Millie. You are bringing her home a lifelong gift :)

I love you so much Laura -

Sending all good thoughts your way!!

Im hormonal lol not nervous at all more freaked by her reaction tomorrow morning when I'm not there :( and neither will daddy be poor little sod will think I have deserted her.

Alheart my darling how lovely to see you :D thank you for your good thoughts they are apreciated.

That is hard Laura - but I know she will handle it like a champ!!

Before you know it, you'll all be home as one beautiful family.

She'll be just fine. Children are so resilient. I think we as parents tend to suffer a ton more than our children do. Will she get to come visit you and Theo in the hospital?

AH, it is so wonderful to see you again. We have missed you tremendously.

Please welcome Theodore Edward.

Uh oh. Millie is already getting tired of her brother taking attention from her. Guess the novely has worn off for her. LOL! You poor thing. You must be exhausted. Do you have anyone helping you and Ben or are you both just handling it all on your own? Anyone taking Millie out for play time or play dates for a couple of hours a day to give you a little down time? I think Auntie J needs to hop across the pond now. ;)

CB and CBW- What an absolutely Gorgeous family you have. Congrats to all of you!

Congratulations on the birth of your angel

OMG!! Laura he is sooooooooooooooo perfect.! Just beautiful.

Chattede, I understand you are new here, but please read entire posts before answering.

What a little sweetie she is. Truly sugar and spice... :)

Sending all my love

Oi Oi CBW and co.

How are you all getting on, you haven't put any updates on here for a while and I'm getting worried you've abandoned us!

Or have you snuck another thread in somewhere that I've missed?

J

Giggle nope J I'm still here just kind of getting my head round juggling a baby and a toddler and all the other every day stuff I'm meant to do.
How you doing hunn??

Ha ha, I just had a mental image of you literally juggling a baby and a toddler then! Quality skills!

Not too bad, just keeping my head down and getting on with it! Half way done now! Woohoo!

Hehehehee I could add to that but it's a family site ;)

CBW... I just had a mental picture of a juggler with boobs, bottles and diapers and it was funny. Wish I had the talent to draw that one...

Love you all and know you can handle it because kids are worth all the sacrifice you give - if you are lucky to be recipient of the rewards later.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/11/11_6_206.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)

Hehehehe I know Chery I know it's a great job really lol
http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f132/curlybenswife/P2130017.jpg


Just thought id share this one :)

Awwwwwwww... those kids are SO adorable!

Oh my goodness that picture is ADORABLE!

She is soooo proud of her brodder as she calls him hehehehe

Don't you just love it when they take to them so well!

She is so funny she loves to cuddle him just not when he smells

Hahh that's great. And then there's my son, that follows my littles around, saying " ew! he's stinky!:" then stiffs him and makes another gross face and goes " eww! he's stinky!" hah, and of course this goes on until I change him. He thinks its hilarious to give such dramatic reactions to his smelly diapers hahaha... boys. They are just so different from girls

Hehehehehe bless um aren't kids fab

So fabulous. Hah. He's still got some confusion over why only mommies carry babies in their tummys hahah. I'll say something about mommy having a baby in her tummy, and he says " me too! see! " and sticks his tummy out. HAHA. I just got to laugh

You ladies have no idea how much I envey you and am elated for you at the same time.

Through you, I go down the wonderful memory lane and thank you so much for that chance.

Love you all.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/11/11_6_206.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE) CBW that looks like a proud 'sissi'. That's what my brothers used to call me, and now I call them 'bruddy'...

ALLHEART!

You just made my evening wonderful!

This is one evening I'm going to forget TV and just enjoy that site till the cows come home.

I might ask you to send that song to my brothers because I don't have an account with U-Tube.

Thanks again darling, I'm crying tears of joy right now, thanks to wonderful you.

Love,
Cher

Hehehehehehe you two are such hunnys and I love you dearly, Allheart your email box has a special few pics in it for your viewing pleasure we went to feed the ducks today and you know what that means ;) I tested the new pushchair hehehehehe

I think I should post this one on PG roll call just to show moms that their girls can make a whole lotta noise and get paid well for it.

If I'd have heard Candy while PG, who knows, she might have played more than just the flute in school.

YouTube - Candy Dulfer - Lily Was Here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2d33uUTiH4&feature=related)

The movie version is what got me to like this lady and she's getting better all the time. This one is still the best though, let me know if you think so too.

YouTube - Lily was here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRV33NnV-5U&feature=related)

Both are the same song,, but oh how different.

Night,night. P.S. Chery was here!

Hehehehehe I think the one thing millie must have heard constantly when she was in me was a cat purring hehehehe as for theo well he will have heard her motor mouth all the time giggle.

With me it was a lot of country music and the Doobie Brothers cause she was born in Goergia, but when Jaime was PG my Larry used to love to lay on her tummy and listen to the baby and he'd to purred like there was no end to a sewing machine. She was always full of cat hair when she left... It must have been love at first heartbeat - that's how cats recognize what else is in their 'territory'. I bet your babe feels comfy with the purrs too now.

Now, since I can't walk too well, I imagine I'm walking through a big city at night with highheels and shaking my bum to this song... it's an escape and lots of fun, since I lived a few miles away it seems I go back through time..

YouTube - L.A. night - Lily was here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B436aaCnvWs&NR=1) this is another one with just LA at night and no people.

And then Larry wakes me up with his purrs - but I love him too.

He is so nosey chery when one of the boys is near and there purring he will open his eyes and look about lol unlike millie is still has the right effect on her :D.

How are you feeling generally hunny?

Feeling pain, and tired of this planet, but don't worry, I'll still be about for a while tying up loose ends and making amends where they need to be made. It's not just the cancer, but my hips and knees are killing me (pun). I'm not really ready to take those super painkillers they want to give me yet cause I still need a clear mind.

Last week, one of my neighbors and I smoked a special cigarette and we talked and laughed all night, had the munchies like crazy and it was nice, but wouldn't want to make a habit of it - but it was nice for a change to be able to just escape. I didn't even have any idea that he 'indulged' now and then, his mom told him about my problem and he just decided he'd reveal his secret herbal cure... I don't judge because some of the patients in my group use medicinal Canabis, but it's not for me yet... it is something to think abou though. Thanks for asking hon.

How are your stitches healing? Promise me you won't strain yourself, OK? Leave the laundry basket where it is and let Ben carry it for you. Tell him I said so...

Night,night.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_3_9.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)

Hell anythings worth a try isn't it, if it minimises the pain what the heck you just make sure your comfortable and happy everything else can whistle in the wind.

Im OK I'm 4 weeks into my recovery time two weeks left and I feel fine just not lifting anything other than madam hehehehe

tee hee Allheart you are so funny but my god we love you :)

Hows everything going Al???
Going good. Today... well.. err... yesterday (its 1 am here) was my birthday so we were bery busy. IM back to work and lonving every minute. My little man just started smiling a couple weeks ago. He is 8 weeks old now, my how time flies...

I know mad isn't it, theo is only 4 and I'm amazed at the smiles we have been having the last week and he is blinking laughing witch I didn't think they were supposed to do yet?
I'm amazed you have gone back to work so quickly here the government pays working mothers to stay home for 6 months to be with there kids.

My daughter also had 8 blessed weeks, but she had to use up sick-leave that she saved for a long time. She's under US Citizen job. The Germans get up to 3 years if they can manage with only 60-70 percent of usual salary, and they can split this time up with their husbands, or the fathers of the kids. That is what my ex-son-in-law is doing with his new daughter - kind of like getting money for being unemployed. He has no job, but owns two houses and one flat, so he does not get unemployment and is complaining that he cannot make it through each month. I cannot even pay the rent this month due to med bills and medications, and between waiting for official retirement. If I went now, my poor daughter would have to foot the bill to burn me, and that is something I never intended.. but she can sell some pretty nice things to make up for the financial loss. I guess the best laid plans of mice and men apply here.

The hardest part of being an employed Mom is having to give your baby to another woman in those early impressionable years - and you miss out on a lot. I was lucky to be with mine for 5 years at home before I had to give her up. Society today makes it difficult on some of us, but they are a blessing and we should never feel guilty for wanting to make a comfy home with lots of love for them.

Bless all of you for having the pleasure of being moms in the first place. Some are not that lucky... so always look on the bright side and give your babes a great big hug for me...

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_9_16.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)

The government allows us to take up to 12 weeks, but it is not paid. I could only afford to be off 8. we are lucky that we work opposite shifts, so one of us is always here with the kids. No daycare this time around.
