janie - what lovely words about your girl. you should put those feelings in her 1st bday card so when she's older she can look back and try to understand what she means to you. I am finding it amazing to think our mothers did this (mine had 3kdis) and how they must feel about us. I have more compassion and more respect and a better understanding of my mum (who can be a little ott sometimes lol).

I'm so glad your big girl is better! what a relief ox

neptune - my AF arrived and i'm fully bf and Ash was only 13 weeks old! so who knows what the evil thing will throw at you. But, one of my good friends had exactly the same thing happen and she was worried about another baby too soon but turned out to just be a long cycle.

saph - you said it perfectly. i feel bad to start to focus on another baby when i have my gorgeous little treasure already! but very true about not wanting campbell to have to deal with all your loss (in a very very very long time) alone. Ideally we would have a siblihg mainly because we are in the defence force and i want my kids to always have a mate/support person with all our moving about. that's also why i want them close and why we feel we need to use the eggs that are here as we won't be back.

any news smithy?

HOw are all the other lovelies?

Murph, how are you guys settling in? Did Jazzy cope with the move okay?
