    Hi Ladies, just throwing it out there & Kelly you tell me if it's a no-goer, but perhaps we could meet at Kelly's??? My way of thinking is then all the kids are confined & all in one place & it's an easier atmosphere to really girly chat rather than watching for kids at a playground, etc.... KWIM? But Kelly, honestly darl, I hope I haven't over-stepped the mark, or offended you, it's your place, you tell us if you're not comfortable with this. I arrive on Tuesday 28 Sep (my birthday ) & we leave the following Tuesday 5 October. We go to Mary Poppins on Sunday 3 October so that day is out, but pick one of the following days. Eeekkk, this is soooooooo exciting!!! BUN _ Is there any chance you can get up to Melb??? I'd hate to not see you.

    WILLOW _ My sincerest sympathy to you & your family on the passing of your precious & much loved Nan. May she now be pain-free & forever in your hearts. xx

    Thanks so much girls. I am back online but you know...not great and not all that much to say. I actually did a big post yesterday with personals but it got lost and I didn't have the time or energy to re-do it all! LOL. I'm thinking of you all daily and will be 'back' properly soon. I am not feeling well tonight, have probably caught the cold the boys have had all week. Awesome.



    Mako - Thanks for today, I'm so glad Sage enjoyed it so much. He is such a beautiful little boy. It was good to get out for a while and just forget about the stuff happening with my family. You are a beautiful friend and I am so very grateful to have found you PS I seriously hope we didn't pass on any unwanted germs!!

    Bek - Hope you had a wonderful birthday babe

    Willow I should be the one saying Thanks for today. Although I'm pleased I was able to give you some "time out" for a couple of hours away from the other stuff you have going on atm I'm so sorry to hear that your Nan has passed. I wish I could make this time easier for you
    I had to laugh at L wandering around with Wags's tail on though hahaha.He is adorable Sage didn't want to take it off when he had a bath tonight lol and even wore it when we went to visit a friend in hospital tonight lol.

    Sorry for no more personals. I've just got off the phone to my mum and she has just told me some not so great news about my step dad(he's in hospital and had more surgery this afternoon) so I need to go and talk to DH about what's going on. I'll do my best to get back on over the weekend sometime.

    Happy Birthday Bek

    to you all

    Willow - Hugs.. I'm so sorry to hear about your Nan.. hope you're doing ok.

    Mako - Thinking of you and hope all is ok with your step dad.

    Jayne/Lisa/Janie - I'm more than happy to have it at my place!!! Lisa, I'm in Balwyn North.. not sure how far that is from you, so let me know if you're happy with that... if it's too far for you, I'm happy to make it elsewhere... I'm easy!! How exciting!!!

    Jayne - I've been sooooo busy catching up with people and organising Luke's birthday party that I haven't had time to text you about a Perth catch up... I'm thinking next Tuesday avo if you're free... but will text in a minute!!

    Bek - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

    Michelle - Still thinking of you every day and praying that you're coping as best possible. Massive hugs.

    Sorry guys... I'm exhausted and can't think straight (that's how tired I am). I finally finished making Luke's birthday cake for tomorrow (it's a train and it's a bit wonky but hey, it's done)!!! I've also got some chocolate brownies in the oven as we speak.. busy busy. I'm nowhere near as organised as I'd usually be but then again, not many people can make it to the party anyway, so I'm sure it will be ok. I can't believe my little boy will be 3 tomorrow.. where has the time gone! Then my Nanna has her 90th birthday on Sunday (which is really why I'm over here)!! We're having both party's here at my Mum's, so it's giong to be a very CRAZY weekend for us.

    Anyway I'm tired and I'm rambling... so must go. Hope everyone is as well as can be.

    Happy 3rd Birthday Luke. I hope you had a great time at your party and enjoyed your train cake

    Bek I'm pleased your mail arrived

    I'm exhausted. DH and I helped do a "backyard blitz" type thing for a very good friend of ours who underwent an op this week to have his bowel removed. He's doing relatively well considering what he's gone through and will have to go through in the future. Anyway we reno'd his front/back yards, painted the kitchen,dining rooms and general clean up of the yards. He has no idea all this work is being done and he'll get a huge surprise on Monday when he comes home from hospital

    My Step Dad is doing ok too. He's had 2 ops this week and will hopefully be home this week sometime. It's been a week of ops for people we love and care about. I hope things improve for all of them.

    On a brighter note my nephew has just been picked for the Australian school boys baseball team. He has been playing in Perth this past week for NSW School boys team and they won every game which is fantastic. I'm a very very proud Aunty

    Willow Sending you lots of love and as you say "goodbye" to your beautiful Nan.

    Things are very quiet in here lately. I really hope you are all ok and just busy with life in general

    Not much to report from me except that I've decided to wait until next month to start Clomid. I've started taking Metformin and folate again now so hopefully something good will happen in the next 6 months or so.

    I am reading but just not posting too much. Plodding along with the pregnancy and coping with one day at a time. Not having a good day today - Mondays are always hard. My life changed irreversibly 6 weeks ago today and it always makes me sad and reflective. It is beautifully cloudy today too which reflects my mood and also reminds me that Caitlyn is still around when I need to feel the love. Just wishing I could have a Greggles cuddle to make it all better

    Willow - thinking of you today as you farewell your Nan. Days like this are so very hard and yet I found the connection with family and friends helped ease the pain of the day

    Mako - one change at a time is good Although I would be taking aspirin as well and I don't think I could have resisted the pull of the clomid. But then again, I am a bad patient

    Love to you all. Thinking of you and sending you love and light as we walk this path we are given

    Michelle. I wish I could change things for you hun
    The Clomid "stall" is only because I was a bad girl and didn't get to a chemist to get it filled in time Do you think its wise to take asprin before being UTD??? You've got me thinking now lol..Maybe I should just start that too especially if it won't do any harm

    Mako - I am not sure anything I suggest / would do is wise I would take it but you need to be comfortable as to whether it would benefit your specific clotting conditions and are you happy to *wing it*.

    A cool, cloudy day. Perfect Greg weather. And Orange is freezing so he would be happy.
