    OMG Lise! Yes! Apparently I HAVE been RAK-ed! Ooooh so excited! I wonder who it was??? Better go put up a thank you post, but if it's anyone in here, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Mwah!

    Oh and Lise, how is the little man going now? Any better?

    Wow Janie! 2 already! WOW!!!

    Crossing fingers, toes & everything for you Kelly that your boys will hang in there a few weeks more! You must be getting very excited! Seems like only yesterday you were having your ET!

    Murph! Hiya! Welcome to NSW! And I second Murph's train tips. I used to work in Sydney and lived at the foot of the Blue Mountains and boy weren't those train trips fun in the old red rattlers, although it was non-airconditioned mid summer. Even more fun after Friday night work drinks LOL. As for the snow, I have never actually seen snow but I bet it will be lovely for you!

    Welcome back Green! Wow Linc is getting so big! Good luck on winning the $1mil! LOL

    Hiya Grubster! How's it going?

    AFU, not a lot going on. DS has had a respiratory infection and been on ABs & the nebuliser 3 times a day. The neb was a struggle the first day-ish but now he just sits there holding the mask himself and singing lol what a little cutie!

    Oh and we have now transitioned into a cloth-bummed household!!! I'm slowly transitioning, have 8 of various brands and 4 more on the way but am totally loving my new addiction! Kicking myself I didn't go cloth from the start!

    And we are taking a break from the TTC journey. We've just changed health funds & the new one supposedly covers everything so we have a 12mth wait on our hands. TBH, I'm kinda glad. I was getting so stressed about finding the money and then going through another full downreg cycle and still dealing with the last one. I'm also enjoying DS so much at the moment, I just don't think the time is right.

    Anyway, must run, DS has decided the dog's ears need stretching (as if they're not long enough!) and she's looking at me with a "HELP!" expression! BBL!

    Wow, so much action in here at the moment

    Woo hoo BOC, yay for being RAKed! Can't wait ti see your avy. Glad you've made a decision about TTC #2 you're happy with. Now you can relax and enjoy spending time with your gorgeous little boy.

    Murph, I had AF return about five months in but for the first few months I only bled for one day, it's only the last two I've had normal bleeding. Hope you feel better soon! And yay for moving, hope you enjoy Orange.

    Kelly, how are you going? You're doing such a good job of cooking those boys, hope you're getting some rest and relief.

    Janie, cannot believe Jazzy is almost two!!! She sounds like a gorgeous little girl.

    Green good to hear from you! Wow, Linc is huge, and so cute! Hope night shift works for you, I haven't made it back to work yet so I do admire those who have.

    Grub, oi, I've been on here HEAPS (well for me!) lately Glad you're getting some sleep ins, hope you're feeling heaps better.

    Okay, I think that's it?

    We're going well. Finn seems to have settled down again sleep wise, though I'm still having to feed him to sleep most nights. Okay every night. BUT, he does now frequently go to sleep by himself during the day, I didn't think that day would ever happen!!

    And our other news is that we have made an appointment with our FS in Melbourne to talk about #2. We only have one frozen embie left so we'll go back to Melbourne for this treatment, if it works then fantastic, if not, then we'll start treatment here. We haven't done a FET before so not sure what to expect. The only thing I know is that I'll have to stop breastfeeding for three months prior to treatment? Anyway, I guess this is why we have our appointment.

    Well someone is waking up so better run. Hope all is well xx

    Lise I went back to work when Linc was 4 months and cried almost daily untill I left that job in December, I'm in a better place but still two jobs on the go. Wish I could find one 3 day job that paid well......... #2's must be in the air hay... so exciting.

    BOC sorry to hear about DS infection not fun. Good to take a break from TTC if you're stressed not a good combo.

    Murph, hope you enjoyed playschool,

    Grub happy to answer, we have 3 frosties and that is my ONLY hope, DF wouldn't go through ICSI again, he's a woose. I think that if there's a will I can negotiate the money stuff that's easy. Enjoy not working If #2 happens I'm taking at least 6 months off this time.

    Kelly teething is nasty I hate, hate hate it. I read about "Baltic Amber" have been thinking about it, any thoughts?

    Wow Janie a 2nd Birthday, Jazzy will really be into it... how much fun.

    ATM enjoying my only day off this week, just put Linc down for a nap he's only had one nap a day for a week, and was going down at 9.30-10 too early waking at noon and KRANKY by 4, so I stretched him (with the wiggles) till 11.30, fingers crossed happier baby. DF is getting his bandages off tomorrow (elbow and wrist surgurey for carpel tunnel) hope he's in a better mood... Men aren't great at pain are they

    fingers crossed for you green! it only took us one! Mind you i am so loving having DS atm that I kind of feel like BOC - i do wish we could have waited a bit longer and probably would have if we didn't have to move etc So BOC, enjoy him while you can!!

    green - i remember you went back early, i don't know how you do it! i'm in awe! Oh and DS was the same. He'd sort of need a morning nap but needed a day sleep more. So i do the same and just stretch him out to 11.30/12 (fortunately we do a couple of play grops which keep him well occupied) and i find he goes down no problem when I put him to bed... and atm does a between 90 mins and three hours. he's also much happier to sit and play in his cot quietly in the morns and arvos, so i get a rest at taht time too!!!

    yeah i know lise - i just didn't not want to mention you lol iykwim. grub logic dat is!

    murph, gotta love playschool! its the only program ash watches (if yo don't count the rSpca and pedigree dog ads lol he loves animals!)... the other day they did a kissing song and Ashton started blowing kisses back to Justine. then when DH got home Ash just ekpt puckering up for daddy and giving him full on mouth kisses lol. mummy didn't get a look in and I'd been trying to teach him to blow kisses for ages!

    seems he also likes johnny cash lol. and does this strange little dance thing! oh and we've taught him tiger hands - he walks around doing them too cute!

    Oh Grub... just had to share! I was in Charlie Square today, and near the glass elevator was standing a preggy girl in a lovely purple dress, and my she looked like you! And she had a boy about Ashton's age in a pram. I was sure it was you! I was walking towards her, going to ask if it WAS you, got right up close... then I remembered that you moved away bahahahahaha! She sure did give me a funny look though!

    lol was i pretty??? No i was at home dribbling on my pillow for my arvo nap.... You'll know when you see me, I'm the one with my dress tucked into my undies and spagetti down the front of my top (yes, that's no exaggeration, i just killed my last white tee!)

    oh and the child chucking a squealing tantrum... and I probably just tripped over my own feet... lol.

    imagine if you went up and said "hi grub!" that lady would have had a complex. But I hope we do get to meet one day!!!

    Green Finn often has just one nap during the day but he usually doesn't wake till between 7-8 so if we're doing stuff in the morning ( which is about 3 days per week) he'll stay up till about 12/1 then have a big sleep. Seems to work for us though I did think 7 months was a little young to have just one nap!!

    Hehe BOC, thats funny! I have to confess that I did/do always look for you and Grub when I'm in Newcastle, and this started before I knew what you looked like. Don't know how I thought I was going to recognise you...

    Well I just weighed my little heffalump - one week off 9 months and just over 10 kgs. And here I was worried he wasn't eating enough solids

    Hope everyone is having a lovely Tuesday
