    I swear she couldn't be more than 2-3 months Kelly!

    Ok. I've been sitting on this news for a while. Working up to going public and figured I'd tell you guys first.
    I'm not sure whether I mentioned it before, but we did a FET a few months back - got BFP on April Fool's Day and I'm now about 10 weeks.
    I was so very sure that the cycle hadn't worked and it's taken a while to accept it. Had some bleeding early on, but we saw a heartbeat at our 7-wk scan and so far as I know all is still ok. Was an HRT cycle, so on the pills and pessaries - just now starting the reduction schedule
    Anyway, that's me

    Marcellus!!!!!!! WOW - What awesome news. Congratulations honey - I'm over the moon for you. Jazzy was an HRT FET also - so I understand those horrid pills/pessaries.

    And Kelly - I can't believe Miss Tara is 7 months already! That time has flown by... before you know it she will be 1!

    YAY Marcellus... So excited for you and for A going to be a big brother. If you don't mind my asking was it your first FET cycle ie: successful thaw?? and how long was your snowbub on ice for?? and was it a day 3 or day 5?? Just curious as I'll be going through an FET soon and I will also be doing a HRT cycle. I took 3 FET's to get Tara (6 day 3 embryo's in total) and I'm hoping that of the 8 remaining we get another precious baby. I have 3 day 3's and 5 day 5's on ice and don't know which ones to use first, they have been on ice since July last year so hoping that we get a good thaw rate as well.

    thanks!
    We had 4 d3 and 2d5 on ice and they recommended thawing the 4 d3's and maturing them to blasts - 1 made it and was transferred. I guess they'd been on ice for roughly 2 yrs 9 months.

    Marcellus, that is wonderful news. I am so green with envy. We are going to try for #2 early next year so I really hope it would bring success. We have 4 day 5 frosties.

    Green, going back to work is really hard. Hope everything goes well for you.

    Hi everyone else. Sorry don't often get time to write much. Thinking of you all though.

    Oh one question, Lyla loves passionfruit. She even eats the seedy part but of course she can't chew them so they get swallowed as they are. Wonder if that is o.k for her digestive system.

    Hi everyone!

    I have been MIA too, completely bogged down in assignments and two nasty exams coming up in the next few weeks.

    I'm too behind to catch up too much with persies, but:

    Huge congrats to Marcellus, that is awesome news!

    BW - I'm so sorry you are having a tough time at the moment and hope things pick up for you very soon

    Hello to Grub, Murph, Smithy, BG, Kahlan, Janie and everyone else.

    We are doing well, Adam is nearly 7 months, sitting up, although a but wobbly lol! He has been moving around the floor on his own since the day he started rolling which was more than a month ago, so we are on high alert! Sometimes finding him in very strange positions in the cot and have to laugh. He chatters away and squeals....well I don't have to tell you girls how delightful that is.

    Hi All

    OMG, Tara now has 2 teeth.... We have gone from none to 2 in the space of 5 days. She is not happy today and has been cranky and crying and has only slept for 20 mins. I'm alternating on the panadol and nurofen to help her with the discomfort and hoping she will sleep.

    Oh, also my FS appt has been bought forward from next Friday to Monday.... I'm scared and excited all rolled into 1.

    Poppyfairy hi there great to see you again even with slow internet Warmer weather sounds like the trick

    KellyD the cost is up in SA too I think it's wrong but I wont get on my high horse... much!

    Marcelous love sing song what a wonderful thing

    Smithy too cute Charlie

    Thanks Saph I'm thinking of buying one, just so I don't freak out so much.

    Hmmm child care went heaps better Tuesday, he screamed big time when I left but was not interested in me at all when I came back, good sign I guess, only an hour though one more hour today then half day tuesday. OMG he's 7.5kg! wopper! guess all that fussy feeding isn't hurting his weight gain and he's busting out of 0's already!

    So I'm doing a dummy run tomorrow, I still have no idea how to get out of the house on time with a happy baby? any tips would be great.

    DH is being alot better he wants to quit his job, I'd love him to be home with linc all the time just the mortgages that would kill us. yep we stupidly have 3! his mine and ours blah I can cover two but not his. He's got 35K in the bank for renos on his house, I suggested he take 6 months off use that to pay the mortgage and then we move to Darwin he didn't say no

    HOLY mackarel green! 7.5kg! Ash just hit 7kg lol but he's really long. hey that sounds like a lovely idea. re dh quit work and the move. we *think* we are heading to the 'win at the end of the year = i'm soooo ready for a change.
    well my mumma is coming this weekend. she saw ash when he was born in dec for 6 days and that's it! poor old chook, it must be so hard for her, she loves babies and he's the only grandchild on both sides.
    she's only here for 4 days - i couldn't handle any more.
    oh bubba showing tired signs . better go.

    Saph I'm so gelous I'm turning fluro green!! lucky you.

    Smithy you are a wonderful planner, I thought I was good but not June good. I'd want to give it to them now.

    Janie hope all is getting better and you get some answers.

    ATM been so busy this week, Linc as been really unhappy with all the early starts so I'm not doing them work can wait and I"ll get there when I can (they don't know this yet) the cold has made him rattly and I'm not sure but he seems to be snotty again, is this another cold. He's been waking ....... EVERY 40 mins and Yes I still went to work....... zzzzzzzzzzzz bit better last night 10-1.30am before he needed resettling. then it was hourly after his feed at 2.30. I don't know if this is just a faze or what but it can't go on. I'm thinking of going to the stay over night sleep thing if it doesn't stop.

    On a funny note Linc has only poo'd for DH this week and today he flilled 3 nappies! sometimes it's good to be at work.
