Hi everyone,

Well I finally have a few minutes so hope to catch up on some persies. With Jasmine having been sick and working part time, I feel like I haven't stopped!

Neptune - I think it can take a while for your cycle to get back into a normal routine. Were you regular beforehand? I have PCOS and my cycle was virtually non-existent, hence the IVF. I have cut back to breastfeeding Jasmine only once a day and I finally got a period in January about a month after I cut down. I have now had my second period which was bang on 28 days and my third which was 37 days. I am actually a bit in shock as I have NEVER had such a regular cycle - who knows maybe this means that I might have a shot at falling pregnant naturally the next time????

Smithy - sending you loads of positive vibes for the new house. It is horrible when your neighbours suck.

Grub - thanks for your words about Jasmine's convulsion. We are thinking of trying for our second soon - I have found just recently that I have become really clucky. I think it is because Jasmine is no longer a little baby - she is a toddler.

BOC - congratulations and welcome to our thread. You will find heaps of support here.

Green - great to hear that you got your maternity leave extended. Enjoy all the time that you get with your little man - I tell you it just goes way to fast. By the way, I was 19 when my stepmother had my little brother, and there were times that i felt jealous. However, I didn't live with my dad and I think that had a bit to do with it. My dad was not very hands on with me and my sisters and when my stepmother had my brother and sister it was hard as it felt like they were going to have the father that we never did. But I soon got over it when I fell in love with my little brother and sister.

BDT - sounds like you are doing a wonderful job. My little sisters are twins, so I know how wonderful twins are.

Hi to Saph, Marcellus, Lily Dust, Kelly, BG, Murph and anyone else that i have missed.

AFU - well I am happy to report that Miss Jasmine is over the virus that caused all the problems (apart from a small cough). Thank you all for your lovely words and support. Well we are on the last few days of my little girl being a Baby. Jazzy turns 1 on Friday and I really can't quite believe it! Yesterday she started taking a few wobbly steps on her own! It was amazing to see her confidence start to allow her to be a bit daring - so very proud of her. She had a great week at home last week with my DH while I was at work Wed - Fri and I really think that has helped her just recover properly. Only 2 days of work this week due to Friday being a PH (and Jazzy's Birthday!) WOW - this time last year I was still pregnant - anxiously awaiting this gorgeous little angel. She truly is the light in my life and I feel so blessed that I am her mother.

Hope everyone is well.
