OMG Marcellus! that is so exciting!!! congratualtions love. i'm so happy for you. and lol on the edit - i knew who you meant!. he can come play wiht our loo, it's always playing up - he might fix it! hahah

Saph - great question. i was wondering the same thing. I tried to ditch it the other night with disasterous affects!

boc - lol - i know it's like they lure you into a sense of security and then BHAM turn around and get you! lol. I know exactly what you mean about bub sleeping and you not! they train us sooo well hahah. Also feeling like i can't wait for ttc again! insane! we are all nuts for being clucky after all we've been through! hahaha.

yaya for the tooth Kelly! and I can't believe she's that old! it is going too fast. that's part of the reason why we aren't jumping in straightaway for number 2 - to enjoy number 1 because it's going soo quick! our boy is 5 months old!!!

green - fantastic news on the neighbour! and don't look at it as not being there with linc, you are being a wonderful mother by going out into the workforce to support your family financially as well as emotionally and doing all the other things that always seem to fall to women! i'm in awe of you love. it takes immense strength but you aren't damaging your baby or your bond by working! I saw on the news the other day that there are more working mums than ever!

hahah Kahlan - i just had this image of baby poo with passion fruit pips. can't help you though but i really wouldn't think it'd be bad for bub, so long as there isn't too much of it.

hi janie! how's bubba?

and Smithy - hope you get on top of the money situation soon love. hate being broke!

as for us - been away again. went to the nation's capital to give bubba soem long car-trip experience. he was a dream and slept the whole way! But unfortunately came home with 2 sick boys. They have the snuffles but the vapourizer is working wonders for Ashton! He's also getting a tooth! it's broken through and explains the very red and sore looking cheeks.

but our little routine is working a treat (sshhh can't say it too loud or he'll hear and play up!). it even worked while we were away! and he slept happily in the portacot.

on the more baby chat - i'm ssssooo clucky it's bad. I want heaps of kids and know that we'd be lucky to get another. but i've realised over the past few days that i NEED another baby! i'd always said we'd be happy with one, but i don't feel that anymore!

on a sad front, my sister had to do ivf but also genetic testing for a disorder my bil is a carrier for. anyway they had to travel to brissy and have the testing at a cost of thousands on top of ivf/icsi... did the whole shebang got 4 blasties only to have to destroy them all because all had the disorder (which means they would not have survived past about 15 weeks into the pregnancy). I'm so sad for them, they were shattered. I'm sad for my paretns that Ash maybe their only grandchild and sad for ash that he may be the 'only' child in every possible way, not even cousins!

anyhoo best go and wash my hair while bub is sleeping. hugs to all my loverlies. ox
