Nicky and Amelia
You will notice that this week I have taken the liberty of calling this post Best and Best of the week.. That is because I am a little, okay make that ridiculously excited. In fact I have hijacked this post from the rest of the team to bring you this best piece of news.
Nicky was at work on Monday conveniently nesting by cleaning the whole office (including redesigning pictures on the wall). She wasn’t looking very comfortable and I was torn as to whether we should just let her clean the office (she was doing an amazing job) or whether we should insist she go home. At about 3pm I managed to convince her to leave, her cleaning had declined and she was looking a little greenish.
On Tuesday morning we got a text. She wasn’t coming to work. BECAUSE SHE HAD A BABY!!!
Nicky’s beautiful baby girl Amelia Evelyn Johnston was born 4 weeks early on Tuesday 23 August weighing 2.7kgs. Hugest congratulations to Nicky and Matt. And happiness and health always to the three of them today and always.
I am the proudest colleague on the planet. Actually Mia did call me to say very excitedly “we are grannies”. I like to think we are younger than that – but just as proud.
So really I have no worst – other than that I miss Nicky at work
On my mind: I cannot wait to meet Amelia.
So how was your week ? Here is your chance to share your bests, your worsts and whatever is on your mind. Try it, its addictive…
But before you start here’s a little brag book we have put together

Best: Long weekend half way through and I feel quite relaxed, especially after long walk along the Thames, pilates and a massage yesterday.
Worst: ex boyfriend telling me he wants me to move back to Aus with him even though he is now engaged and moving to Aus with someone else…..
OMM: abnormal pap smear results arrived this week. Only mild changes so hope that it is just an infection or something but have to wait 6 months to have another smear to make sure all is ok.
loading...
Best: Being able to really enjoy this week of my maternity leave…the first week was still quite hectic with my work calling me a lot and because of working from home at my freelance journo job but I finally got the chance to have lunch with my Mum and relax at home with the husband. Also looking forward to spending 2 weeks at the beach over Christmas and NYE holidays with family.
Worst: A few social gatherings I’ve been invited to that are in the last few weeks of my pregnancy and I’m not looking forward to being the huge, sober pregnant lady while all my other friends party around me
OMM: My own baby who is due on the 29th Oct and who is really exhausting me…I miss being able to touch my toes and alcohol and sushi and cheese and millions of other things…please come out promptly baby girl!
loading...
After reading comments on this post for probably half an hour, I think it might be about time I contributed for the week.
Best 1: Got to catch up with friends over dinner for the first time in probably a month. Was good to see everyone and catch up, although I can tell that some of the friendships are slowly fading, which is a little sad!
Best 2: Came to terms with the fact that I need to stop stressing out about my boyfriend’s marijuana intake. When I am not with him, it used to be all I thought about, because if he smokes I end up feeling forgotten like a background character in his life. I also obviously worry a lot about him, and the damage he is doing himself by smoking quite a bit. But over the last week I decided that it was not my problem, and that I have told him numerous times how I feel about it, and so I would not worry about it when I am not with him. I’ve had a better week because of it.
Worst: Am beginning to worry about what I will do at the end of this year, once I graduate from uni. Will I be able to move out and support myself, and how likely is it that I will be able to find a full time graphic design position.
There are other concerns, but I think I’ve written enough for today! Hah.
Finally, congratulations Nicky! I have been wondering when the news would be sent across the MamaMia site that you had had your baby, and a beautiful baby at that! Best wishes to you and your family!
loading...
BEST::
Got my two assignments in on time for the first time in like ever.
OTHER BEST::
Got the link to the NEW DOCTOR WHO EPISODE!!!!!!! It’s amazing!!!
loading...
I am so happy for Nicky and quite jealous at the same time…
BEST: Being pregnant and my antique age.
WORST: Being pregnant and ready to deliver. I am huge, the baby will be huge and I have months to go.
loading...
Best: Parenting seminar at Greensborough, where my husband and I saw saw Mia and the two Jos. It was good even though we arrived late.
Nice to see you doing so well, Mia, long time no see!
loading...
Worst: feeling friendships fade into nothingness. Emailed my really good group of high school friends and had a brush off from one. I know we move on but its sad to say good bye, will stillll try and talk to the friend but feeling pretty sad about it…of course that could be to do wih the hormones….
Best: Found out last week pregnant with no.2 really excited but also really crook, hubby has stepped up ( a bit!) to help out but suddenly very scared how im going to cope but still really really excited
loading...
best: had an awesome day at the snow with bf, he picked up snowboarding super quickly and we had a really good time. Off to a hen’s night tonight with girls from work, should be fun.
worst: i have to work 4 morning shifts in a row…I’m not sure I can get up at 530 that many times in a row! total FWP.
OMM: finding the one…think about it aaaaaaallllll the time. Happy with where I am at currently, just trying to stay chilled out and relaxed and see what happens.
Love to all MMers and congratulations to Nicky and Matt
loading...
Best: Graduating from my university degree.
Best: Graduating from my university degree after so much hard work.
Yay!
(No worst this week too much best to be had)
And congrats to Nicky and Matt on their gorgeous new addition. Babies are the best!
loading...
Awesome! So well done, you!!
loading...
What a beautiful baby girl!! Congratulations Nicky and Matt (and new v sprightly grandmothers Mia and Lana)
Worst: At 10pm on sunday night temporarily freaking out that I was starting a new job with the Sydney Morning Herald sports desk (??) when one their reporters tweeted me to wish me luck in the new role
Best: Realising it was a case of mistaken identity. Order was quickly restored.
loading...
Awwwww x 1000. Congrats to the lovely family.
Best: A surprise visit from my intertstate BF today.
Best: A great drinks and dinner with my new friend from work.
loading...
Congratulations! Great news, gorgeous baby, so happy for you both. I love brand new bubbas! x
loading...
Who won the office sweep? Is it called a sweep?? The competing for her due date?
loading...
Me! I said on Monday she would have the baby that week!!!
loading...
Best: boy whose farewell drinks I went to a couple weeks ago has seemingly done a completely 180 with his feelings and has been texting me a lot, he even apologised fr his behaviour in the past, acknowledged my unwavering friendship and said he should’ve told me this a lot sooner
then we had an… ‘intimate’ phone call. Time will tell if this is for real tho.
Worst: am having trouble with a fellow supervisor at work. She doesn’t communicate with anyone, if she doesn’t want to do something she uses her Asian background and blames it on ‘not understanding’ (she has lived in aus for her entire life), she is compeltely tactless, never considers how her decisions as a supervisor will affect others and the other day I lost my temper at her. I’m sick of everyone at work feeling like we have to treat her with kid gloves because that’s how she behaves sometimes.
OMM: what movie should I see tomorrow night? Any suggestions?
loading...
Congrats Nicky, Matt and little Amelia
Now go buy a bottle of your favourite port and label it “not to be opened until 25/8/2032 on Amelia’s twenty-first birthday”. I have one to open next year when my son turns 21 and I can’t wait.
loading...
I just had a great day. Nana took my girl out so I had time to get on top of all my jobs and some, walked the dog with a glorious take-away coffee in hand (never happens) and even had time to read for an hour!!!
Glorious!
Oh, and did I mention spring is on it’s way.
Congrats Nicky and family, I know you don’t like comments on your looks, but seriously, did you just have a baby?!?! Best wishes!!
loading...
Congratulations Nicky and Matt!
loading...
Congrats Nicky!
I’ve had a pretty shit week actually. Just feeling so blah. Tonight I have a suicidal friend at my house, who is also drunk, and the crisis team won’t help because she won’t tell them directly she’s suicidal, even though she’d be admitted to a psych ward now except that there are no flipping beds in the state. I’m getting up in 7 hours to go to work & need to sort this by then. Literally, right now, my friend is sitting on my floor, drinking tea and rambling. I’m just sitting over here giving her space and hoping she’ll sober up soon & we can work out a plan of how to get her some help.
I have my period because the universe is just stupid and laughing at me. I’m overwhelmed with uni and I’m working at the crack of dawn all weekend and I don’t freaking want to go tomorrow because I’m scared my friend is in such a state. I’ve got 15 assignments due in the next 6 weeks. My anxiety is so high at the moment I can hardly breathe when I’m out of my home.
But more than anything, I’m furious that it’s seeming more and more that my friend is actually going to have to hurt herself to get any bloody help. Even pulling my “I’m an emergency department nurse and I know you’re overworked but I’m telling you that she is suicidal, intoxicated and you won’t come over here based on her say over a PHONE CALL that she’s actually ok? Which, might I had was more of a drunken slur “it’s all cool here.” Jesus Christ. If anyone knows of any mental health beds or anyone with half a freaking brain who works for a mental health service, could you let me know?
loading...
Feeling for you!!
loading...
Thanks. x
loading...
So sorry to hear about your crappy situation. I hope your friend gets the help she needs ASAP. As for the assignments, in light of your situation, perhaps you can speak to someone at uni and get extensions/special consideration? Just a thought. Best of luck to you both xo
loading...
Thanks Lauren. I can get extensions on assignments because I’m a bit certifiable myself regardless. Some of them are group presentations though, so I can’t really expect the GROUP to have to wait another week or whatever. I’m sure I can get it done, it just means a ridiculous amount of no doz & red bull for me over the next few weeks.
Likely my friend won’t get help until Monday when the actual doctors who know her situation are back on. So frustrated and just feeling terribly worn out by this. I know this is not my drama to deal with, but I have been put in the situation where I have a moral obligation to act and it’s not a dilemma, I will do what needs to be done, but it’d be nice if I actually had the support of the acute care team behind me.
loading...
I’m sorry to hear this, and I’m thinking of you. You’re a kind person to be helping, and you’re doing a good job. xx
loading...
Thanks – needed to hear that tonight. My friend is asleep, finally. I’m back at home for a few hours.
loading...
Friend is doing better today. We both made it through the night. MH service meant to be supervising her this weekend are still grossly inadequate, but at least cooperating. BIG SIGH OF RELIEF.
This has gone from being my worst to being my ok this weekend.
I realised I’ve done an assignment a week early. That’s my best. *breathing*
loading...
Congrats Nicky! Almost makes me clucky again…
Best: Just bought some Aesop moisturiser that smells like mandarins. Can’t wait to try it. Also have the latest WHO mag to devour when I go to bed.
Best 2: my clients at work love me and told me so (pretty much) today in front of my boss.
Worst: My mum never visits and is a lazy grandmother. More interested in her new partner. Feel sorry for my kids as they don’t have any grandads and their other gran lives far away.
Worst 2: A client of mine told me she provided a great verbal reference for me, for a promotion I’m going for. Problem is, my current supervisor has not called my potential boss back to provide her verbal reference for me. She’s had two days so far to make the phone call.
loading...
Worst: catching my sisters cold and being off sick for the last 3 days. I am bored of sleeping, of feeling crappy, of watching tv, and being alone. Also, the melt down moment today when I realised that I can’t hide my new boyfriend away from my family as they all want to meet him at the next family dinner. I like keeping our relationship light and fun and the family dinner puts an element of seriousness that freaks me out
Best: Said boyfriend waking me up from a nap to bring me Movie popcorn (my absolute favourite food), m&m’s, panadol, strepsils and a giant bottle of V8 juice to help me get better, on his lunch break.
Also, my sisters, mum and I getting tickets to Roxette, can’t wait!
loading...
Sounds like he’s a keeper!
loading...
He sounds like an awesome boyfriend!
In the spirit of keeping things ‘light and fun’, maybe suggest to your family that they can meet him at a coffee date or afternoon tea, rather than the family dinner. Less pressure, you’d have a handy excuse to leave if you wanted, and probably not all the family could make it so there’d be less of them to worry about!
Good luck, and I hope you feel better soon.
loading...
Aww – much love and congrats Nicky – too cute. Brings back so many memories. My 15kg 2yo was also 4 weeks early and weighed 2.4kg when he was born. They grow up so much so fast!
I too will only have bests today, in the light of that lovely news. I have finally gotten on top of a lot of work, and feel so much better as a result. I am enjoying the lovely spring weather here in Canberra, and I had the privilege of playing at a memorial service today for a very special man who had an amazing life well lived. Happy to be alive today and feeling quite philosophical.
Love to all.
loading...
congrats nicky! Amelia is a top name! not that i am biased or anything..ok,It is the name of my oldest…;-)
loading...
That’s fantastic news – congratulations Nicky!!!
My best is absolutely loving being with my two beautiful children – 7 weeks and 20 months. I feel so blessed to be their mamma.
My worst is that my relationship is suffering. I remember this happening at exactly the same time…about 6-7 weeks after my daughter (first child) was born. There’s so much I want to say to him but, last time when I did, he accused me of not coping.
I am very tired (my little one wakes up quite a bit at night) and not really up for an argument – especially when he (I assume) will try to land the burden of responsibility back on me. I actually really hate that I’m fearful of sharing my thoughts with my partner ( a throwback from childhood – an abusive mother with whom I refuse(d) to be vulnerable).
What I want to tell him is that i *need* tenderness, support and consideration (with two children) in a way I *wanted* it before (with one child). I feel as if I spend each day (and night) giving – physically and emotionally to the two kids but, when he tries to initiate sex I feel so mad. I feel spent and I just want some physical and emotional recharge… I need a kiss on the shoulder that doesn’t mean sex….
Grrrrr. I had really wanted him to ask me what’s up by now. He’s noticed I’m grumpy but chose not to ask me why….
loading...
well said – agree 98%. The other 2%? Yours atleast tries to initiate sex.
loading...
Thanks wife.
I must admit, as much as it annoys me now, I’ll be worried if/when he stops initiating sex. Sorry that we’re in the same boat…
loading...
Talk to your husband. Go in to the conversation with an open mind. Don’t assume it’s going to go the way it did last time. Maybe even write down what you are trying to tell him and how you need/want him to respond and help. Having it in writing may help you not become confused and will give you something to refer back to so as you don’t become confused (which can happen with sleep deprivation and baby brain!) Reassure him you love him dearly and that as you are adjusting to having 2 children under 2 you need a little extra support. And that your are also aware that HE needs a little extra support too which you will give.
Tell him you do not want to fight, just need him to listen and that you will listen to.
Men respond well when being told how they can help, instead of being expected to remember ‘last time’ how they helped or figuring it out on their own. At least that’s how my hubby prefers it (and he’s a pretty good problem solver at the best of times). We also have 2 girls together and I’m 21 weeks with #3, just so u know I do understand where u r coming from
Good luck. I hope you can reach an understanding
loading...
Thanks Steph, I do think I have withdrawn from him a fair bit and given him no clues as to the problem. I appreciate your advice. I’ll talk to him (after I’ve written myself a list!) Thanks again x
loading...
And don’t forget you’re still in that ‘after delivery’ state where hormones and fatigue is still controlling your body. Have a little faith that better times will come where you will be able to sleep more, feel more energized and feel more normal.
Feeling for you and with you!
loading...
Thanks dk-mum, I do think I’m a tad sensitive at the moment & feel as if my intelligence has taken an extended holiday. But for a bit of sleep……
loading...
Yay yay yay!! Congrats Nicky and Mat, what a beautiful angel! I’ll be thinking of you tonight when I’m feeding my 5 week old. And when the blues kick in (if they do) tomorrow just repeat my mantra… ‘this too shall pass…’
And when you’re up to it would LOVE to hear the birth story!
loading...
oh what wonderful news.
Well done Nicky. Congratulations to you and your husband.
And welcome to little Amelia.
loading...
Oh, NICKY! I’m so thrilled for you – what a beautiful baby, and a gorgeous name. You look completely wonderful and blissed out!
Congratulations! xo
Best of the week: Meeting some amazing people in a couple of workshops I was running for working parents, including a man who, with his wife, has taken in an 11-year-old foster child permanently, with no parenting experience, because they realised they had a great life and wanted to give something back. So inspirational.
Worst of the week and OMM: The mum of twin 10-yr-olds in my daughter’s ballet class lost her battle with breast cancer on Tuesday. She was about my age, wonderfully vibrant and completely devoted to her four beautiful, little children.
loading...
Best of the Week: Involved with UQ on some medical clinical trials. Heavy stuff, but very interesting. They are always on the look-out for guinea pigs.
Worst of the Week: Anna Bligh’s sleazy political deal to get on the church service of the Logan tragedy. I wonder what she paid to get that TV shot. Talk about schadenfreude!
loading...
Absolute cow of a week in many ways.
I’ll explain but it is rather complex, I really would really like some advice/insight.
Worst: Two of my close friends are in a social disaster.
A while ago, friend 1, Katie*, met a guy she liked (Thomas*) and excitedly showed us pictures of him. He has quite severe depression, so Katie recommended my other friend, Emma* to be friends with him (gave her his number) but told her strictly not to flirt with him. Katie and Thomas both liked each other, but to be kind to Katie’s ex boyfriend, she decided to not date him immediately.
Emma flirted with him and Thomas asked her out a bit later. She said yes.
This had happened earlier in the year (but Emma didn’t know about Katie’s feelings) as well. Emma was talking about the situation on the bus to someone and Katie’s friend overheard, so Emma had no choice but to come clean. And she did. Over text message. So everything exploded, Katie was extremely hurt. To make things worse, Katie was asked out by Emma’s ex (the guy from earlier in the year) and said no because she knew that Emma still liked him. It went to Facebook. I was on the phone for more than an hour as I had to ring and explain the situation to friends so they were clued in about what had happened. To make it even more complex, Emma has been in love with Katie for a long time and is frustrated because she knows nothing could ever happen. Absolutely insane. I am so emotionally drained at the moment.
Best: Special Art program today out of school. I am very proud to say that my group loved my contribution (there was a lot of it!). It was lots of fun and there was lovely food.
OMM: Sleep.
Congratulations Nicky and Matt. How beautiful is Amelia (what a gorgeous name)!
To everyone struggling, hang in there.
xoxo xoxo
loading...
Honestly I would say step away from the drama- not your problem to fix. They’ve created the mess, and they need to deal. I know it might sound harsh, but i used to be a chronic fixer ( am a fixer in treatment lol) and it can have a huge emotional drain on you, as well as meaning that you don’t ask for your emotional needs to be met in friendship. Step away.
loading...
Thanks for your advice, very true (especially emotional drain!).
xoxo
loading...
it’s a pleasure! and I know it’s much harder than it sounds! keep well Louise. xo
loading...
Forget about it. If I know teenage girls (and I do) this will all be blown over in a matter of weeks. It all seems such a big deal and drama at this point in your lives. But its not. Leave them to it. Not your problem.
loading...
Thanks for your advice!
It’s great to see a different the situation in a different light.
xoxo
loading...
Yup, as everyone’s said: be Switzerland (ie neutral).
loading...
Hi Louise! I must have missed your birthday, I see you are now 16
As for your friends, I have to agree with the advice already given and say to just keep out of it. These things seem HUGE when you’re 16 and in the middle of it, but things change fast and it’s not worth losing sleep over.
Be kind to everyone, but don’t fall into the trap of doing anyone’s bidding. If Katie and Emma are big enough to cause this, they’re big enough to carry the responsibility that goes with it.
Tough, but true.
Anyway, enough about your friends! Hope YOU are doing well and having some fun lately?! xoxo
loading...
Hi Sometimeskaren,
I’m going very well thanks (but I’ve been very busy with school work!), how about you?
Thanks for your advice, some of the boys at school just laugh about it and say that the girls will be friends again within the week – hope that will happen!
xoxo
loading...
Oh Nicky, you & your husband look so happy with your beautiful baby! congrats – we’ll miss you xoxxo
loading...
Aww Nicky! Congratulations – yours is the third little bundle of wonder I know of born this week… gorgeous!
xx
loading...
Worst: It would have to be the terrible news of the house fire tragedy in Qld. There is an incredible support network for the surviving family members that may at least help them cope a lillte more with this tragic loss
Best: I bought a treadmill from Rebel in May 2010. Because ti was heavy and I left it in the hallway until I could get help to move it, and because, like most men, I was slack at putting it up, I didn’t use it until early this year, and even then it didn’t have much use. It is not working properly and even though the warranty was up in May 2011, Rebel has arranged for the makers to come and repair it! It’s not often that happens, so an A+ in customer service from Rebel and the maker Icon
loading...
Awww cuteness congratulations!!!!
loading...
First off, congrats Nicky & family!
On my mind this week is the fact that my sister & I will never have a positive relationship with our mum’s husband. We just don’t like him and I can’t see that changing. Its really hard because obviously we love our mum and want her to be happy….but he’s not a nice person. And we’re not the only ones who think so. I’m so scared that this is going to destroy our relationship with our mum.
Has anyone being through a similar problem?
loading...
My mum has been with her partner for 16 years and whilst I like him, he has had an impact on my mum and my life that I dislike. The thing is that he does not like kids and doesn’t want the around, in fact I think he doesn’t really like people in general and doesn’t really want grown ups around either. So my kids never get to have sleep overs with their grandmother, we have to call before we drop in and can only do so if he is out. We never ever get invited to have dinner with my mum and if we invite them here they rarely come so in turn we rarely invite them etc etc. For a long time I was very resentful of my mum about this, however in the end I realised that she doesn’t really like it either and she is the one that is missing out on more than me. She has made her bed and has to lie in it. I just make sure I catch up with her during the day heaps – not sure what will happening with the blokes impending retirement…
loading...
Yeah that was my sister’s view too “She’s made her bed…”. I dunno, its still so hard when its someone you love.
Thanks for sharing your story x
loading...
Awwww Nicky! Congratulations. Sending love to you and the sleep fairy to little baby amelia! And congrats to the grannies. hehe
Omm. waiting to hear back from job interviews- killing me!
loading...
It’s been a good week for me. I started a new job this week, yay! After MONTHS and months (probably close to a year) of applying for jobs and nothing but rejection letters (I had another job but I was over it cause they were underpaying me and stuffing me around), I finally got a response a few weeks ago saying I had an interview. My ONLY interview after all those job applications. I got the job and I started on Wednesday. I really like my new workplace, the people and the environment. It’s also a much bigger company so there’s room for movement
Anyway, that’s nothing compared with having a baby I wont’ even PRETEND to have any idea what that feels like! Congratulations to Nicky and Matt, great photos!!
loading...
Well done, Nicky! Congratulations, I hope you enjoy your new little family.
loading...
Is there any sight lovelier than a newborn baby all pink and swaddled like a little dumpling? She is adorable Nicky. All the best to you and your family.
loading...
What’s all the fuss ? Looks like any other baby, to me………Oh alright, CONGRATULATIONS, Nicky !…… Good effort.
loading...
Congratulations Nicky & Matt, a beautiful name for a beautiful girl.
Best: watching my 5 week old daughter grow & develop.
Worst: the sleep deprivation, but it’s worth it. Also missing having time with my husband; by the time he gets home from work we race through dinner whilst trying to settle the baby, then I get to bed ASAP becausevi know I’ll be up again soon. I miss curling up in his big strong arms!
loading...
Congrats Nicky, she’s beautiful.
loading...
Congratulations Nicky !!
Worst :
Had a setback regarding my ex , sent him an emotional email saying how much I love him and how much he means to me.He emailed me back , not being harsh but now I really realise that it is over.I am pretty sure he is dating again and it is killing me.
Best : Having such supportive friends and family.
Had dinner for my dads 82nd birthday and the staff were so nice to him at the rsl he was so moved.
Lost a bit of weight out of grief for the breakup , hoping to keep it that way.
loading...
Heartbreak is horrible – especially when you still have those feelings and they arent reciprocated anymore. I hope you heal quickly and spend some time giving yourself some love. It tough but this is your time now. My last break up I read the book ‘it’s called a break up becuase it’s broken’. I can’t recommend it enough!!
loading...
Nicky she is just devine!! Congratulations!
Best- I am a wonderful person who is making my boyfriend a birthday cake.
Worst- It is a rare kind of person who stuffs up packet mix.
loading...
Sooooo….. this may sound a bit of a random post but what. the. hell
I am off work for the next week on leave before I start my new job and I am B.O.R.E.D. One more time. B.O.R.E.D.
Not very good with keeping myself occupied when alone and all my mates are at work etc so I can’t keep hassling them, hence the reason for my post.
I am 28 female and live in Perth. Who needs a buddy to hang out with in Perth? Cause I am going crazy by myself. It’s only been a day. Ho Hum.
All applications will be considered
loading...
Whereabouts in Perth?
loading...
South of the River (Como area) but I have a car!
loading...
I’m from Perth, but now living in the UK – are you new to Perth? I can give you loads of ace places to go, where ace people hang out if you want.
My favourite cafe is the Pantry Door in North Perth, and it’s just next to a little French shop called Ici et La – bliss!
loading...
I’m 28 and in WA! But i’m douth – in Yalls
loading...
Oh bugger! Feel like moving up to Perth for a week to amuse me?
he he he
loading...
I live in Perth, East Cannington….trust me, catching up on the stuff that you have wanted to do in ages is the best way to spend any time off!
Either that, or watching many many many episodes of tv shows downloaded off the internets
loading...
Hey Ash
Done & Done already.
What else do you have in mind?
loading...
Congratulations Nicky! You both look radiant and beautiful
Best: No more chemistry! I changed my major from Biomedical Science to Anatomy and Human Biology because in the latter chemistry is optional but not required; to replace the two Chemistry units I’ll be doing Psychology- win!! I’m so much less stressed now. I also learned that if I do Honours in 2014 my GPA will be calculated from 2012, 2013 and 2014 which means my chemistry fails and woes won’t impact my GPA. Medicine, here I come……!!!!
Worst: I’m struck down with the worst PMS that I’ve had in ages… my skin has exploded, I’m bloated, starving and soooo grumpy- I’ve shouted at my boyfriend, brother and mum for no real reason, and of course I’ve done my rounds of apologies, but eugh, I just want this bleugh-ness to be over. I’m pretty happy that PMS is my biggest problem at the moment though. It’s been a good week
loading...
Yaaaay! Take that uni!!
Two of my closest friends do psychology at UWA…..I’m sure you’ll love it!
loading...
I did psych at UWA. Granted that was, ahem, almost 25 years ago (holy smoke!), but still, I remember it fondly! Good luck with your studies.
loading...
I can highly recommend psychology theory for dummies.
It will help you keep your head straight – there are LOTS.
loading...
This just made my week! HUGE congratulations to Nicky and her new little family
xxx
loading...
HUGE CoNGrATULATIONS!!!!!!!! Hope you and the bub are doing well! Xx
loading...
Oh wow! Congrats Nicky!
Amelia is beautiful! And such beautiful name too!
So jealous – I am due in 2 weeks and just dying to hold my little one in my arms.
Enjoy! Gx
loading...
Thank you everyone for your congratulations. It’s like having one huge extended family with all your lovely wishes. We will hopefully be able to bring our little munchkin home next week. Now off to get some sleep! Xxxxxx
loading...
