I have recently found a site which i love to bits its called "friends Reunited" its the best place for seeking out old school friends,work mates,team members or people you have met througfh a club or such.It costs just $14.95 to become a full member,where you are able to message and search as many sections as you wish to locate people in your life you are interested in knowing again.

I love it totally,ive located school freinds and team members from when i was in abowling league.You wont be disapointed at all.

I am going through some life changes and want to get some help with a few things ill get into Q &A later.

Hey there Minti mums and dads,i have had a wonderful week with the kids for the holidays but its time they went bac to school..yeah!!!.I do love the fact no early mornings...wrong kids got up even earlier every day of holidays.I Do love not having to pack lunches...wrong we went out to the pools and to parks hence we needed packed lunches.I love that i didnt have to look for unforms under beds and kiked behind doors...but i did have to look for swimmers that had been packed under beds during winter.So in actual fact there was no real rest from the mundane routine of school except the venue changed.lol

The baby is growning so big and shes in 00.Im trying to find summer things for her to wear.She needs shorts and summer outfits and ive been buying lots of Baby patch stuff at markets,which is the best way to buy it if your on a budget.Camryn has started making sounds when you have a conversation with her,she smiles and gurgles kicking widly when she thinks your funny.

Im trying to lose a bit of weight and so far have lost 2kg.Its not much but ill get there.I was on ultra slim shakes and trying to eat les junk and i succeeded in losing 2kg but now im getting stomache cramps so ive decided just to cut out junk and eat healthy and drink plenty of water.Im going on 25 minute walks every morn and afternoon too.Swimming will also be good now that its warm.So keep your fingers crossed for me hey.well its off for a walk ,catch ya all later enjoy your day and i hope everybody finds the sunshine in there lives...mine is my children xxxxxxx

Hi minti friends its definately tiring being a mum again,we are all sick with the flu .Im really unwell and so is Camryn.

The reason im blogging is cause i need some help with her runny nose and stuffiness.Been using Fess little noses..saline and the bulb sucker to reduce mucus but she s got a cough too.Can i take her into a steamy bath room ,would that help???

She already is size 000 and shes making great facial expressions.But babies have no tact..she cocks her leg to break wind while feeding and i have to laugh..Its soo funny.

All the family is yet to see her and we are going at the end of august tosee nannies and auties.Camryn olivia will definately be prayed apon by the paparazzi in my town,they live to photograph new additions.

well its very close to feed time and i too need my dinner so goodbye for now talk with you all later.

HI ALL MY MINTI MUM AND DAD FRIENDS. SHE IS FINALLY HERE.....

born at 1.43am ,weighing 8 pound 4 ounces.she is 55cm long and was beautiful and pink,

i am so glad its all over..the easiest part was the birth,6 pushes and shes here,no gas or drugs,no stitches just a graze and i feel great.Very tired and craving mcdonalds but other than that its wonderful.

I was due yesterday and i expected to be in ...no im not.

Got taken to hospital yesterday as my gp suspected bub was breech..i nearly died id never been hit with that sort of news.I just burst into tears and couldnt stop crying.I guess my idea of breech is getting a caesar,which i was not prepared for mentally.

The doctor did a scan in the hospital first luckily ,as i was being send to have the baby manually turnned..i was told that really can be uncomfortable.But luckily she turned again and i was saved that.

Now im booked in  to have the baby induced if she hasnt come by next thursday.Even thats scary as i have never been induced either.I guess i expected everything to come all natural and on time.I know you can nevr predict these things.My doctor says my real due dates today by her but the scans say 19th so im waiting.I tell ya though these braxton hicks are coming every hour to half hour and are strong ....So when they get unbearable ill be off.Just hope she stays the right way.

Updates later.....

The midwife reckons saturday,lets hope so.Not a happy camper ,im bored,upset,lifeless and sad.I want to walk to the end of the earth and back but couldnt be bothered.The kids are getting stir crazy now cant wait to move.Only 4 weeks till our lease runs out.Cant find any big homes but thats the story all over since the floods in newcastle.Ive bought a caramel bar and put it in my hospital bag ,i know that that lolly trolley doesnt come around enough when your hanging out for a chokkie.

Ive had dreams the baby is 8 pound 1 so decided to pack a couple of larger sized bonds suits,as ive only packed 4-5 0.My boyfriend is really getting anxious and the kids wonder why i havent gone in every night,they hope to wake and be minded by a neighbour as they would then know they are getting there baby sister soon cause i must be in the hospital.A story i once read said once your absolutley fed up with being pregnant thats when baby finally comes as its the best time of all.Cause theres no doubt something you wait so long for has to be worth while.Lets hope.

Ive actually got 11 days just to clear that up ok,thanks.But im very eager.Also missed my last antenatal thinking things were closer when hat wasnt the case anyway that will be good.

We are desparate to find a bigger house they are so hard to find.We pay very good rent here only $235 for a really nice place with lovely neighbours.Its all very hard,looking for rentals,having babies,kids on holidays boy its a busy life.

I lost more of my plug and this baby has become a heavy weight,i sometimes fall sideways in the shower.Only 8 days left ...seems like its been a month these last few days.Everybody in my family are ringing and asking "have you had the baby yet" how annoying it gets.Im ok though...just wait for each day to pass which will bring me so much closer to my due date yeah!!!!.

ive been getting back to all my minti friends as i have so many people on my list yet only get back to the members that send me pics or messages so im spending the next week catching up with them all.If i don't get back to you im sorry or i might be in the hospital.Are there any members on here from Newcastle.

Im still pregnant,why...ive had pushing like you wouldnt believe,braxton hicks 7 in 7 hours last night and im living in the toilet.Ive tried the suggestions of Minti members on how bub might come quicker if i do a list of things.I had a couple of wines with dinner last night and then went to bed....im up every hour in the toilet and not much else.

Went for a drive to visit dad and couldnt even make it there the ride was shaking me around and i started to get cramps so came home, they stopped.My last antenatal found that the babies head is fully engaged and she said not long now...well not long by that does she mean it could be in 2 days,3 days.Im sorry i guess being impatient is just part of my pregnancy persona...cause normally im fine i could wait ages for anything to happen.Well cross your fingers for me minti members..bye bye.

Hello Minti, my baby has dropped but not dropped out...bugger.Its pushing so hard and i feel like im walking around with a coconut between my legs...ouch.Does anyone want to wager a guess on when bub might come as i think by the weekend and others say at least 2 weeks.

I had some bad news early thismorning that my ex-father in law had died,although i loved him dearly when i was with my ex i havent seen him for a while.It didnt mean it  didnt upset me as bad .Hes the only father in law ive ever had as my new partners father died 3 or more years ago.Is it ok to still feel like this even though its my ex husbands father.I think its ok, i have to tell the children and they have been making him get well cards...its a very sad day.

Can anyone tell me where i might buy terry toweling breast pads in australia..ive been looking they were the best ones.But i cant sew to save myself otherwise id have some made already.Thanks and have a wonderful week and take time to remember friend and family as one day they may be gone..xxxxx
