Hi ladies,

Myturn, sometimes we don't have a choice in becoming older mothers. It could be that we meet our partner later in life (like me) or it could takes quite a few goes at IVF or naturally before we get pg. I think we have to believe that it will happen and when it does we will be the most fabulous mums we can be. And I don't think you'll be an 'out of touch' mum even if you become an older mum hun Hang in there lovely and take a deep breath (like me!!). xoxoxox

Awww Kikkit, so you got the puppy? Remember they only stay little for a while but if if gets too much you could always find it a new home. When I was about 14 we got a puppy because I saw one in a pet shop and I just had to have it. My mum was saying no but agreed in the end on the condition that I look after it all the time. The poor thing got left home all alone when my parents went to work and my brother and I to school. He used to cry so much during the day some of the neighbours complained so it had to go. So my parents made me take him to the RSPCA. I was so heartbroken, but there was nothing we could do. We had a lot of elderly neighbours

Hi to everyone else!

AFM, we are having some rough time again in the house. It started with the virus I had last Wednesday, then on Friday night after DS's bath I noticed some cluster of small bumps on his upper legs, tummy, back and little bit on his face. I happened to use a new bubble bath that night with some essential oils, so I thought he had a reaction to that. The following night the same thing happened but I didn't use that new bubble bath. Then last night before the bath, he had the cluster of spots as well (so they would have been there during the day, but I didn't notice them at nappy changes) but he was also burning up. So I thought maybe chicken pox????? The thing is, he's had a runny nose all day yesterday so I thought the temperature was tied in with that. So off to the doc's today. DS was so upset after his bath, he ended up in our bed, tossing and turning all night and burning up. Thank God for panadol.
