My daughter was born two days early, on 23rd October 2008. In so many ways the last 7 months have flown by, but in so many other ways they feel like they've gone at snails pace! I'm lucky as she is a very content baby, the majority of the time. Still waiting for her teeth to come through though. I'm sure that's going to be tough!

Anyway, I just wanted to say, in regards to the birth certificate, I spoke with the social worker at Centrelink and as I don't know enough of the father's details, I filled in a stat dec stating this. I also had to sign a stat dec for Births, Deaths & Marriages & after jumping through some hoops finally received her birth certificate without her fathers details. I provided Centrelink with a copy and now receive PPS, which, without, we wouldn't survive!

..How is everyone else going now? Love to hear your stories...
