Hi everyone, I haven't been in for a while, I find it so hard to keep up now that there is so many of us. I also have a lot of things going on and am taking my time to deal with them slowly. Life is far from easy at the moment, so I'll try not to be a wet blanket when I pop in.

To all the new people, Hello I am Ash. I am 21 and have almost 8 month old Alexander. It was my awesome idea to get this thread started, ! I have twin sisters that are only 8 weeks older than my DS, and the journey of parenting with my mum has been interesting, to say the least. With her having twins and running two businesses, and my IL's living 900km away, it is needless to say I have, essentially zero support.
I moved back to Geelong to be close to my family so "people could help me" which doesn't happen and now I am isolated from all my good friends in Melbourne and I am really struggling to keep my head above water. I am the queen of mantras at the moment, and as they say; this too shall pass.
One of my very good bestest friends, is someone I have not known very long and that I met through BellyBelly, so I can guarantee you that it can be a complete lifeline to you if that's what you need it to be!

Look forward to catching up with the oldies, and getting to know the newbies a little better.

Melbournians, I am looking forward to seeing you all on Thursday! I cannot wait!!
