Hehe Tam, well, I wouldn't say new but it will do us until we sell the Pajero. AND it will fit all the kids and the babies in no worries! It even has the anchor points for the car seats already! I am very chuffed! These things are rarer than hens teeth!

Aw guys, the good wishes had me all teary! But I bear good news: our NT scan came back with a 1 in 4000+ chance of DS, and 1 in 7000+ chance of Edwards or Patars syndrome. The ultrasound guru, Dr Murphy, reckons that it's the best result he could have asked for at my age (I love that, don't you? 35 and ancient) and absolutely does not believe I would require an amnio, though of course it's still my decision.
Hell, I never was going to have one anyway, so this is great news!
The other bit of good news is that when DH got to work today after the u/s, he found out he got a promotion!!! It's a $20k a year pay rise and means I can now look at going back part time after my year's maternity leave instead of full-time if I want! Wooohoooo!
So an excellent day altogether!
Shazz, love the new av! Tiff, yay on the bus!
BTW I've put the one good pic of the little'un on the website, but unfortunately the best bits of the ultrasound are on the video! Lol!
Still alive - 9 days of work to go!! YAY! Then I'll have time to play and catch up with you all!
Just from the last couple of pages, seems that everyone is doing so well, which is so great to hear!
Congratulations to everyone on great scans so far, sounds as though there are a few more coming up.
Keen - the very, very best of luck for Saturday, I have everything crossed for you!
Gotta run again, but just thought I would let you know that I saw my obs today and well, the line 'the baby is a decent size, isn't it?' sticks in my mind..... hmmmm - have been referred for a sizing ultrasound next Thursday, so we'll see whether Munchy is gettign the tall genes from Mum and Dad (I am 6'2'' and my hubby 6'5'', and I was 68cm (yes you ARE reading right) when I was born!). He is head down, bum on my right side, left shoulder just to the right of my bellybutton, and knees under my stomach on the left.
I have taken some photos of my belly, but have not worked out this new computer of mine yet to download them off the camera. Have also started painting the nursery, so hopefully I will have time on the weekend (or rather hubby will) to download the piccies so I can post them.
Hope you are all feeling really well, and I cannot wait to catch up. I cannot imagine stopping work at the moment, it is so surreal (but EXCITING!!!)
Good Luck for tomorrow, girl, are you finding out the sex??? Ooohhh tell us, tell us!!
We bought a bus. The paj seats seven but with the new babies, we'll need a nine seater, so buswards it is! We are picking up the beast on Saturday and I can't wait! Mind you, I don't think I'll be going anywhere with all of the kids at once, unless it is to a big open space...we took the five of them shopping (food) on the Monday just gone. The kids were great! Lovely helpers and no probs at all,it was just the rude people that made me feel like I shouldn't be out in public!!!
One lady said I was brave going out with all the kids, looked me up and down and stated,' and you're pregnant AGAIN!' Without knowing my circumstances she then asked me why I would let myself get pregnant again, when the 'little one' was obviously 'not right in the head'!
Now, the boys look NOTHING like my girls, anyone can see that and how on God's earth she thought I could squeeze out another baby 3 months after the twins and another one three months after the last, is beyond me! But it didn't stop there, girls, oh no! Another woman came up to me and commented on the large number of children and the number of trolleys of food and then made the presumption that my husband must earn alot for me to be able to have all these children! I could have told her, that had I chosen to work full time, I would bring in more than him but I chose to only work enough to support my family, so I didn't need to rely on the government, but I was so gobsmacked that people had the gall to pass judgement on me, I was speechless. WOW, that was a large vent! Sorry guys!
OMG Tiff, that is unbelievable the gall of some people. Don't worry, what goes around comes around so they'll get their come-uppance. Anyway, the new bus sounds very exciting!!
