Yeah, we celebrate Christmas the same just in the heat rather than the cold (unless it's raining or something). Not everyone gets into decorating the outside of their house with lights but it is becoming more of the Christmas thing to do these days. Near where I live there is a street that is fmous for their lights and they go sooo over the top, but the kids LOVE it. The families spend thousands and thousands of dollars each year buying new lights and putting up inflatable snowmen and raindeers, charities set themselves up collecting money, groups of people sing, ice cream trucks park all over the place selling ice-cream...it's like a carnival every night through out December.
I meant 14 degrees C. I think it's about about 57 F. So really our cold weather is nothing compared to yours...lol.
When I think about Kansas I think about the Wizard of Oz...lol. Although I dont think your only 3 foot high with a munchkin voice...lol.
Yes, we have a ban on guns. You need to have a license to use one and you can only use them at firing ranges or if it's part of your profession. About 10 years ago or more people were allowed to store them at their house but these days you have to store it at a special gun place in a locked cupboard. It's very full on but it doesn't mean people dont get shot. Out West more, maybe about an hour from here, it's really rough and you always hear about people getting held up, robbed, shot, murdered, but where I live it's probably one of the most sheltered places in the world. We dont have terrorist or war to worry about (yet) it's as if Sydney is wrapped in cotton wool from the rest of the world. But at the same time we're well aware that it's all right around the corner.
When Jayden gets to about 4 years old my hubby and I want to take the kids to the U.S. as we've been hanging to check it out. Just after we lost Dion we needed a big change in our lives and plan "A" was to take off to America for a month and plan "B" was to buy property....we went with plan "B" and luckily we did because just after we bought our apartment we found out we were having Jayden and prices went up again. I guess we made the right choice

Thanks for answering my pacifier question!

Well, we dont ride in kangaroo pouches or restle crocodiles ..LOL. Crocodile Dundee is more related to Australians who live in the country or the "outback" but not to the majority of the population. Aussies are typically laid back and dont give a shit ...lol.
Although, where I live is a little different. Sydney is for the full on people. It's where you go to have a career and earn good money. It's very expensive compared to the rest of the country but we have it all from beautiful beaches to the bush. There's always something to do or somewhere to go. It's hard to get bored here.
Even though it's winter here it's probably a different winter to what your use to. It only snows in the east-south part of Oz and a cold day would be 14 degrees. Christmas to us is when you have family over for a BBQ in the backyard or go to the beach and play cricket on the sand or go out on the water with a picnic :] I would love to experience a "white christmas". The closest we get is "christmas in July" where some places celebrate an early Christmas for a period of time just to get a taste of a cold christmas around a fire place and all that stuff.
Wow, 7 year olds. You must have loads of patience

How do you cope with so many children at once. I'd go insaine

Shans-Water-Babies - Friday, 22 August
Yeah it hard.
I live in Sydney, Australia

and I work for an ATM company logging jobs for our technicians. I deal with security companies and banks and all that kind of stuff. Not very interesting lol.
What do you teach?

I'm so glad to hear that you had a healthy pregnancy after a 2nd trimester loss. I was really nervous about trying again just because of the uncertainty that comes with it all. Wondering if you'll ever be able to carry to term... it's a scary thing. Lucky I have great doctors. I will put all my trust and them, though I'm sure they'll know me pretty well by the end of it all, lol.

I honestly dont think I could ever step foot into the pool that shattered my world. I dont plan on ever touching the water that filled my boy's lungs and took his young life from our family. She keeps telling us that she will sell the house once her youngest son moves out of home (he's just turned 18 so it's just a matter of time now). I think it's better that she sells for the right reasons as aposed to the tragedy that took place. When something like this happens and you run away from it it gives you something to fear, but if you face it and deal with it to a degree then it makes it easier to move forward. As far as how I feel about never going in to the pool that claimed Dion's life, it would make me pysically ill to touch that water. It would be like sleeping with a man who killed my child. My daughter, on the other hand, once said that one day she'll be a really good swimmer and be able to swim in Grandma's pool but these days she wont go near it either.

wow that's amazing! :o)

we have been married 3 years and together for 7 years. how about you?

femi - Monday, 18 August
yeah i keep warning my husband about the baby blues and postpartum depression in case it hits me and he doesn't get it 'cause he feels it should be the happiest time in your life, and it is in a way, but there are fluctuations to our hormones and new responsibilities that can be challenging and make us miss the old days. we'll see how it goes! luckily, my husband will be taking three weeks off to be with me and the baby. :o)

it's actually a fiction novel based on my own experiences with those issues. i have been writing since i was little, and have even published a few short stories. so, i am ready for my next step into writing a novel! but it's been a work in progress for years, so we'll see what ends up happening! i haven't been blogging here for a while and forgot i wrote about it on this site.

yeah, we feel ready physically in terms of the stuff we have but let's see about our emotions! we want her here so bad but we are still in shock that we are having a baby! and yeah, days seem like an eternity ... :o)

i am excited about returning to work, though. i just hope i can catch up with the kids. i may take september and october off but go in at least once a week.

femi - Sunday, 17 August
p.s. did i write about my novel on one of my blogs? :oP

femi - Sunday, 17 August
you guys have started classes already? i'm sure the mom understood, after all, isn't the whole pregnancy brain thing true? :oP

as for my book, it's about the relationship between a mother and daughter, but primarily in the Latino community and their relationship based on talking about sex, etc. i have yet to finish it and, thus, it becomes a bit tough to explain it in one or two sentences. lol.

so, i felt a weird strong wave of pain about an hour ago, but it hasn't returned. almost like a strong wave of pain in the lower abdomen with some tightening .....

Mom2Dom - Friday, 15 August
ha..thanks:) It looks like you had a quick labor too and no pain relief...did you plan on having none. I didnt know if I was until I got there and they sadi there was no time...I am currently a teacher, although I took a leave of absence this year and I am getting my masters in counceling. I want to stay in the schools, but switch to the counceling side of things :) And my baby didnt start sleeping through the night until 3 months old, before that, he had an internal alarm of eating every two hours!!! How is your little one doing?? What do you teach?

femi - Friday, 15 August
i'm feeling ok. I had nausea, vomiting and diarrhea this past tuesday night (funny how we only share these types of detailed pieces of information when pregnant!) and have had a headache and slight/mild nausea here and there ever since. my appetite has been off. but i don't necessarily feel any closer to labor. today, i've had a few sharp, shooting pelvic pains, but that's all. *Sigh* i am so tempted to pump just to get something started!

Shans-Water-Babies - Thursday, 14 August
Yeah, because it's still very early days for them I think you'll find that it hasn't actually sunk in yet. They probably just feel like he's at preschool or having a nap and to a degree are probably waiting for him to come running into the room. Everytime I would sit on my couch I would feel like I was waiting for Dion to come home, then after a week or so I started to really miss him then after the first month passed the facts started to hit me and things started going down hill from there. When I started going to visit people the look on their face when they see you walk in the room with one less child is hard too. I read once that it's better to forget for a bit and smile then to remember and feel your heart breaking.....and it's so true. It helps the soul rest and the body to repair itself a little bit before it begins to break down again.
On a happier note how are Ethan and Michael going?? Do you think you will try for a girl one day or are you happy with your beautiful boys?

nezbit - Tuesday, 12 August
That's so cool how your kids have bday's a day apart. My husbands cousins are June 12 and 13 and mine is the 11th.

nezbit - Tuesday, 12 August
yeah I also read about the food allergies. I will just wait because he sleeps fine and I don't want it to hurt him.

femi - Monday, 11 August
hey! thanks for the response to my poll. :o)
