Helen ~ Yep i agree that he looked much better with a goatee...(My DH has one and I love it...makes him look older...otherwise he looks a bit like a naughty school boy..must be the dimples...hahaha)

I tried to do water aerobics once and I was hopelss at it and felt like a whale in some string and material. No t a pretty site I thought.

I thought sticking to walking was the best so that is what we did.
Caught some of the biggest loser but never really kept track, I think they look really amazing.

I am a DT teach which means cooking, sewing, computers, woodwork and metal work. I really like it and am more of a practical person than antything and really love making things. Can't really avoid the mishaps it was just an accident that never happens. Could have been worse though, I always have to keep that in the back of my mind.

Bit of a runny nose both the kids have it too hope we all get better soon I am so over it. On top of being pregnant and getting our other house ready to rent, I am pretty exhausted.
They changed the syllabus a few years back didnt they....because when i went to highschool only homeec and textiles and design were sort of together....i did extremely well in those areas....teachers tried to talk me into being a homeec/text&design teacher.....i said no way......i know how bad i was towards some off the highschool teachers.....so i became a primary school teacher instead.....and still got abuse.....go figure....lol.....u are very brave being a highschool teacher!:thumbsup:

Damo was HOT!!!!..and i liked his singing at the end....he took over the show..good on him he deserved too...hope he keeps losing......chris on the otherhand was absolutely disgusting......warcamp survivor came to mind........he need to put some muscle tone on....marty's bodie looked hot i rekon.....just right amount of muscle.....not skeletel like chris( not a good look for a man!)

Hi and welcome Grace :wave:

Mel - thank goodness you're OK! Now I have a story to justify to DH everytime I buy more chocolate :p

I walk 3 - 4 times a week and do a couple of gym sessions. Was meant to start my pg yoga tomorrow but my back is so bad I have booked in a massage instead!

Have a great weekend gals !!!

[millymoo]

Mez and Charli i think you like the rocker look somehow!! Especially you Charli with your love of Tatoos!

Yes i thought Chris was far too thin for his height and probably starved himself to get the money but will hopefully add abit now.

I was left thinking there should be a male and female prize as women do struggle in general to lose more weight, especially fast.

I thought Kimberlee looked great too. What a smile!

Yogamum I am TTC as well so 3 of us :D

I did yoga all the way through my pregnancy, I ended up with an emergency c/section but snapped back very quickly the dr's N nurses were very impressed as I was out walking the grounds with Eliza in her plastic Bassinet 2 days later :D

[madreader]

Hi Ladies Big Welcome to Grace 3. When i was ttc3 i found if i just relaxed and not be so paranoid about not being pregnant that eventually it would happen. And guess what after 4 months of not worrying about anything or anything else BAM it happened. So try not to stress so much and just relax. I hope everyone else is OK. Have a fantastic weekend. Charmaine.:)

[charlen49]

Pixie ur avatar is absolutely the cutest!

I know at first it seems like you can`t keep up and we all know each other really well (well it seemed like that to me at first!)but keep popping in to say hi and let us know how the move goes.

[lastone]

Hi! it's so great to find some people my age!! woo hoo!! Hope it's ok to join in... i'm 35 - have DD 15 and DS 14 - with a new addition due 1/8/07.

It's such a strange experience after having DD at 20.. and being "too young" and now doing it again at 35 and being "old"... I still feel the same!!!!! though am having different experiences - it was strange early on looking in baby shops and having people thinking that it was my daughter who was expecting (she's taller than me and looks quite mature)... verrrry strange experience... and now she's scared to push the pram when it comes along in case people think it's hers!!! though i'm sure it won't stop her once it's here!

Is anyone else from Sydney North/West?

[millymoo]

Hi

I am in The Hunter but if you look at my kids ages I have just been through a very similar experience! It is FANTASTIC to see them with Amelia and they love sharing every new thing they see her do with us. We spend all day running to have a look at what she is doing with whoever she is with!!

[Coffee]

:wave:

I guess, it's time for me, to post here as well. I'm 30 turning 31 this year and have 2 boys, Jason nearly 3 yrs and Nathan nearly 6 mths.

I live North of Brisbane and am not working at the moment.

if there's anything you wanna know, feel free to ask.

[millymoo]

:wave: Welcome Coffee!

I am Helen , be good to chat with you x

[Coffee]

Thanks for the welcome Helen. :)

Do you know by chance, if there're any others from Brissie or north Surrounding?

I'm sure, if I would read through the thread, I would find something but 50+ pages is just to much to read up :o

[millymoo]

If you scroll thru the main forums there are threads in each area...ie I am in The Hunter one. There is definately a Brisbane one in the QLD section. Will try find the link for you in a bit!

:wave: Welcome Coffee and lastone to the thread!
Coffee ur sone is born a week after my daughter and is born on a brilliant day because it happens to be my birthday too!

[Coffee]

Helen, thx for the link, I know that section already, just thought, maybe some people have posted here but not in the Brissie thread or the other way round.

@Charlene, what a coincidence. :D
your daughter, didn't want to wait another week, so you could share the Bd's couldn't she?
it's like with one of my nephews. He was supposed to be born on my BD but then he decided to come out 2 weeks earlier..

No she was actually 2 weeks overbaked!...there are loads of QLD's on the NOV 06 thread..though at this stage u might find that one hard going..i started on that thread later than the others, have been there a few months now and im still finding it hard going;)

[melbryan]

Hi to Helen and lastone, it great to read about new people on here and always lovely to catch up with old friends.

We are the oldies but the goodies, and man to I feel old and on #3 and working part time and looking after two little ones is really killing me at the moment. Can't wait for this tiredness to pass.

Hope you are all well,

[Coffee]

Charlene, thx for the info, I may have a glance in that thread as well.

Well, Nathan came 3 weeks earlier, due to c section. I have some issues with my lungs and my ob thought, the risk is to high for a normal birth.
Oh well, I didn't mind, he's healthy and everything went well, that's the main thing.

@melbryan, your second son is born at the same day than my older one, just 2 yrs later :)

Is he a placid boy?? Ds2 is so placid and lovely to be around can't say that for Ds1 though, closer to your eldest son's age. Can't choose their personalities though.
Sorry for not saying Hello, coffee, my name is Mel x, very rude of me.
