    Hey you guys, just catching up on posts....sorry i've been missing a bit....I am so tired at the moment.

    Leanne, sorry to hear you aren't well at the moment.

    Sara great to see you found a house. Best of luck with the move and the new start.

    Shazz, man you poor love.

    everyone else.

    I have 3 weeks to go (yahoo), but a small person who is getting harder and harder to live with and IL troubles again! ....really looking forward to D-Day...who'd a thunk I'd ever say that again after last time?
    I went through my bag with DH the other day. I made him sit down and see what was on the list so he knew what was needed. It's been ready since about 26 weeks, but he had to pack it by himself last time....and i don't want that again.

    Poor buggar also had his Sergeant's exam today and he's rung me about 45 times to 'check up' on answers...I hate it when he does it cos he sounds so down when I tell him....hope he went alright. We had rain last night too...first time in months. Typical though we are supposed to lay grass tonight but becasue it was cyclonic last night they couldn't cut it and can't until Sunday night when DH goes back to work murphy's law I guess.

    Shazz - well done on the weight loss!

    Sara - Hope your move is going well. Mabe Im gonna have to get a plane flight to Brissie one day....you will have to line up some cute guys for me.

    Christine - Hope te new school year is treating you well.

    My trip to Mildura was great, however my Aunties babe was stubborn, and come out the day after I came home! I met her this weekend, she is so tiny and petite with heaps o black hair, my cluckiness was ot of control LOL!

    On Thursday I put an end to my marrriage. Was a very emotional time, however I am feling so good about my decision and am proud of myself for being so strong. Jay and I still get on really well whih is fantastic. Its funny though, al of a sudden I am cheking out EVERY male who walks by LOL. I am hoping i can find a nice family man in the next few years and settl down and have more babies....anyone have a man they can reccomend??

    It is my sisters last ante natal class this week, she is 38 weeks today, I am beyond excited!!

    Archie is loving Childcare, he pushes me out the door in the mornings!

    My very best friend here at work who is 3 wks ahead of me lost her baby.
    I am devastated.
    It is going to be so hard for her watching me grow etc while she has lost her baby.
    I feel bad as in the last week or so I have been saying how I am not sure whether I am ready for another one, and she lost hers and I didnt.

    Oh Leanne, that's awful. Having been in both positions though I understand. She's your best mate - she'll still be your best mate

    Elissa I'm so glad you sound so positive hun!! Lots going on around you too. That's tops Archie loves daycare.

    Shazz hows the pain chickie?

    AFM. BP's up again - back on bedrest and heavy duty drugs...kinda over it. At least Cam had enough annual leave to take 2 weeks early - otherwise I had to stay in hospital.
    Darcy is regressing a bit on the TT. Even though she's been TT for 6 months now all of a sudden there are accidents everywhere. We know it's an attention thing...but i can hardly reach my knees let alone the floor lol.

    leanne - I am so sorry for your fried, please dont fel guilty about it though, we all have moments of not knowig if we are ready, this is not your fault, and im sure being the gorgeous caring person that you are you will make sure your friend isn't feeling too badly about your progressing pregnancy x

    kim - thank goodness there is not long to go now! Sorry to hear that Darcy TT has regresed, Archie has too since ay and I split, Im sure once bub is here she ill go back to her old self.

    I am going to the Melbourne BB meet up in June, I am SO excited, wish it were sooner though. Hoping to get my new car this week some time, fingers crossed.

    well I think the MS has gone for now, but I have had a migraine for three days. Is there anything other than Panadol that is safe. I can't really afford to take any more time off work...

    Not long now Kim - hope you are doing okay.

    Good morning all,

    Just thought I'd let you know that my waters broke yesterday afternoon about 3pm. No real contractions since then....looks like we might be having another csec.
    Been in hossy all night. Got Cam to bring in the laptop cos I figured I wouldn't be able to sleep - I did.
    Poor buggar was in Sydney for my godfather's funeral when it happened....he got back here pretty quick though.
