Hi lovely ladies!

Wow - what a week! Whew, I am so looking forward to the weekend!

Dory - how exciting for you to have your scan a day earlier than planned, but I am so glad that there was nothing bad after your scare with the bleed. It sounds like you took the absolutely perfect and sensible approach - well done for taking the time to rest. It sounds like you have found a wonderful ob. I hope you manage to find a happy compromise about your work. I understand what you mean when you say your mind still works. And getting a cleaner sounds like a great idea. We have had one for a couple of months now and she is fantastic. Comes on a Friday - it is so nice to come home to a clean house. I find it so much easier to relax into my weekend when the house is clean. It is a bit of a luxury really and I wish I had the time to do it myself but between study and work it is very hard. Your day this morning sounds lovely - snuggling and pancakes - heaven! Hope you get lots of rest over the weekend and no more scares!

Hi Gigi - thanks for your lovely words hun. And sorry that AF has arrived. It sounds like you enjoyed your kitkat though. I have never had a dark kitkat - now you have me thinking... might pick one up tomorrow while doing the groceries ;-) I hope you enjoy your time in Byron. I have had experience with an ADHD child - her mother put her on ritalin which upset me greatly - she was only 3 when she first went on it. I know how hard it can be to cope with these children, but running him ragged on the beach is an excellent idea, and the puzzles are great too. It sounds like you are doing all of the right things. Also we found that yellow food colouring in food like cheezels (her favourite) and some breakfast cereals really set her off. But I am sure you are on top of all of this. Take care hun. I think of you often I am sure you will be in the sub preg group very soon.

Blessedatlast - I love your new avatar. It is a wonderful memorial of your beautiful twins. Glad to hear you have started your TAFE course. I hope you are enjoying it. And great news on your cycle. Things took a long time to settle for me too. Testing and temping is a great idea. It made me feel so much more knowledgeable about my body when talking to Drs. I hope your naturopath appointment goes well next Friday. Bring on the good things in our lives!

Cmeglles - hope AF stays away for you this cycle hun!

to beata, teagz, aries, samcougar and everyone else.

AFM, it's been a crazy busy week but in some ways I actually feel happy because I think I am starting to make headway in my new job and starting to see the impact of having me in the office and taking some of the heat off my boss, consequently things are getting achieved which is rewarding. And great news - my boss has agreed to pay for 100% of my uni fees, which is a great relief. I still have to pay upfront but when I pass they will refund the money - yay! Anyway, its pizza and tv night tonight as it's pouring outside so not worth going to the markets that we were thinking about.

Take care all and lots of babydust to all!
