To keep Buddy Groups from getting to big, we lock the old thread and start a new one. You can still go back and read from the old thread, but will need to post on this one! Happy Posting Thanks Jacque

Hi Mandi, I can't wait until Tuesday at 5! OMG, you should see my feet--so swollen from sitting at my desk for 2 days. I've never had this problem before, and they look ridiculous! Anyway, how was the wedding?? Was it really fancy? I have some friends who are from really wealthy families, and they had a $30,000 wedding 2 years ago, I'd never seen anything like it. Totally crazy. Really fun, though. What did you decide to wear?

Hey hun! Oh you poor thing with swollen feet. i hope you are okay! Not long to go now!!!!!!! EEEEK!!!! I didn't have the wedding on the weekend. It's actually THIS FRIDAY!! It's at 4pm so I am going to have to leave work here at 1.30pm so I can get home & get myself ready!!!! I have decided to wear that outfit that Mum got me for Xmas.... I showed my friend who is getting married & she said that's fine. I did buy a new top last week which is pretty revealing (if you ask me) and I'll wear that Sat night at my Mum's b'day down the coast. I have to get myself a nice little black jacket as it's starting to get a bit chilly here in Australia now. Autumn is on its way!!!

I'll be okay--did I mention I'm getting induced in about 1.5 weeks? I can totally handle all this until then. Plus, my mom is flying in on Wednesday, and I know having her here will make everything better. One of my advisors spends every summer (our summer--May through August) in Australia because he works for some work-family board there. He has for over a decade, I think. Kind of funny that he never gets to feel the summer. Too bad he can't work it the other way around! Wouldn't that be nice--summer all year? It would be like living in California. Does it ever get very cold where you live, though? Coastal areas are usually pretty nice. Not like my chilly valley in the middle of Pennsylvania! Having the hardest time concentrating tonight--getting jittery for tomorrow.

OMG 1.5 weeks!!! I can't believe it Karina! How fast has this pregnancy gone for you?? And it's so lovely to know that us girls were here for your journey! Awwwwwww too cute
Um... it doesn't get THAT cold where I live. We don't have snow where we are. I actually haven't even seen snow in my whole life! I'm wanting to go to Tasmania later on this year to see a great friend down there & apparently there is heaps & heaps of snow down there all year round. I live in Queensland which is the sunshine state. We have gorgeous hot, summery days and live right along the coastline

Hey girls how is everybody doing? Karina - OMG! 1.5 weeks left. Wow! I can't believe how time flies. Do you remember Gen (Girl 2.0) from the March pg board that we were on? Well, she went in for her appointment last Monday and they didn't find the . Her baby died and her hubby was out of town. I am so sad for her! I could not imagine. Mandi - I'm sorry it's starting to get chili there but, that means it's going to start getting warmer here. I can't wait. Angela - Whow are you doing? How did your appointment go today? Did you get an u/s? I am anxious to hear about it. So, my visit with my sis went well! It was nice to see her. It's been 3 years since our last visit. And Hunter just LOVED her. He called me when she left today and told me his heart was breaking. My poor little guy!

Hey Melissa! Good to hear from you. Yeh it is getting a bit chilly, that's ok though, cos I love winter. I get cold really easily. So even sometimes when it's summer I'll be wearing jeans & a jumper! Wierd I know.... I'm a bit sad today. My good friend Richelle (see pic) well her b/f has dumped her. He's moving back to Sydney and he's muslim too which is even harder. I just don't know what to say.... I hate break-ups so much. I just wish I could be like Dorothy & click my heels together 3 times and everything be back to the way it was Anyway..... here's my good mate Richelle & I on Saturday night

Morning girls Just to let you all know we got the devestating news this morning. Matt got the sack. He now has 2 weeks left and then I'm not sure what he is going to do. He DOES have work to go on to, but that is tying steel and Matt doesn't want to do that as he isn't exactly the "biggish" person and already has a sore back. We are just so devestated and heart broken

Hey Angela. Thank you so much for your message. Well Matt does have work to go to, he will be working with another guy who used to work with the boys, doing steel fixing. The thing is that Matt isn't exactly a "biggish" guy and he has a really sore back so I'm not sure how long he will be doing that for, but hey, it's a job right? And Matt will only be getting $100 a week less than what he is on now, plus shorter hours & he doesn't have to work Saturdays. HOORAY!!!! *does her little happy dance* So what is everyone up to this weekend? I have a HUGE weekend planned. Friday I am going to my 1st ever wedding and then Saturday we are going down the Gold Coast for Mum's b'day and going to this theatre restaurant place called "Draculas". Apparently you catch a ghost train into the theatre & it's a 3 course mail and sort of like a cabaret show or something like that. Matt & I are really looking forward to this. We both need this time away to be there for 1 another Anyway, just checking in.... Karina.... Melissa... where are you girls?

Mandi, I'm sooo sorry to hear your news. I'm glad Matt has something to fall back on, but it sucks it's for less money. Same thing just happened for Jeremy's dad--he got another job, but it pays $12,000/year less. It's just hard to cut back. But, soooo much better than nothing! I'm sure everything will work out. I hope you both have a great weekend and can get your mind on more pleasant things! {{HUGS}}
Angela, too bad about no u/s, but they probably didn't want to worry you in case you were a little early to see the heart. Hopefully the time will go quickly for you until your next appt!
Melissa, that is so sad for Gen; it's crazy for that to happen this late. I wish her the best. On another note, I'm very happy you got to see your sister after so long! Mine is coming the end of this month as well, so I'm glad I'll get to see her even though I won't feel like doing too much. My mom is actually in town now, which is really great. She is such a big help.
Well, I'll let you ladies know if I find out anything exciting at my appt tomorrow or the u/s Tuesday. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
