    Hi girls, I don't have much time, so I just thought I'd pop in and let you all know I'm still alive and well and still pregnant My midwife has been on holidays and is back today so I'm happy to go any time now, but I'm getting no inklings or anything just yet.

    Camping was lovely and relaxing. The heat only bothered me twice so I took off to the shopping centre both times to relax in the aircon for a few hours.

    Ben has been great. Sleeps in his big boy bed fine and even puts himself to sleep now. I just put him in there with his Thomas books and his milk and he gets himself off to sleep He got so spoilt at Chrissy that it's ridiculous. No idea where to put all his stuff.

    I hope to have some time to log on in the next few days for a proper catch up

    Hi all,

    LOL, Jen, that's what my nephew used to call his penis when he was little- a woodle, now it's a whistle...??? And now he's 8!!! Glad to hear Beau's seems to be clearing up.

    Mel, I am having trouble with Lily's sleeping again too. She's waking up heaps through the night and day sleeps are iffy, she's going from two to one and it's a scream fest whenever she goes down. I think she is getting her molars though. And we're on 2hrly night feeds with Liam too. I think it's cause AF is due and I think he's having a growth spurt. He's almost crawling too, which I sooo can't believe!

    DG, glad to hear camping went well. I hope your checkup went well, not long to go now!!! I can't wait to hear your announcement!

    Well it's stinking hot here going to be 41!! So it is an at home day for me. In the ac! DH has taken Lily out for the day thank goodness. I sooo needed a break from her. She's been whinging like no tomorrow. I wish he could take Liam for the day too, but I have to feed him....I know I could express, but I'm lazy! And he's really not hard to look after.
    I am thinking about toilet training Lil. She seems really ready to do it, always takes off her nappy and is very interested in the toilet!
    Anyway gotta go, I hope everyone is well.

    Mel- glad to hear youre ok, any time now? wow where has the time gone. Good luck

    Kel- yep we have molars coming through too, so I know its part of it, but its so horrible. Last night she took 45 minutes of screaming...attention screaming that is, to get to sleep. At least though she sleeps through til 7am.

    Olivia has gone to my mums for 2 nights coz we have appointment after appointment. Just been to the chiropractor and for our 6 week check up. Have a script for the pill coz we had a woopsie a few weeks back...but luckily the pg test came back negative!!!! Rebecca has her hip u/s tomorrow and then next week its the hip review. Am hoping she is all good. The gp had a real good go at her hips today and said he felt nothing clunking out of place...so its promising

    Well the next 2 days without Olivia is for cleaning, bookwork, going through the girls clothes to de clutter, cleaning my car, sleeping and I am getting my hair done tomorrow! Usually I go to a cheap quick cuts shop, but i booked in to hair house warehouse to get something proper and nice done. Am hoping I will have achieved alot today so tomorrow I can have a me day.....

    Its hot, so I'm out of here!!!

    Hi girls. Still waiting here, but I'm not due for a couple of weeks so there is no real rush yet.

    Mel, that sounds really good about Rebecca's hips! Yay!!!!

    Kel, hasn't the heat been awful? We've been camped out inside in the aircon. Such a relief to have some cooler weather today.

    Us? We're doing great. Ben has been a real angel the last week or so. He now reads himself to sleep each night - we just put him into bed with a book and leave the lamp on. Ten minutes later he's fast asleep. He does it for day naps too. He doesn't try to get up or anything, I feel so lucky! The transition to a big boy bed was practically non-existant!!! He isn't eating much of anything though and has actually vomited once today and once yesterday. I think it might be his molars coming through, but the vomiting has kinda thrown me. He seems happy enough though so we're not too concerned.

    I had some major BH last night. Used the breast pump for a while last night for a bit of a hurry up, then for two hours I had some serious, serious cramps and tightenings. Was on the verge of thinking it might be the real thing when they eased off. Needed panadol for sleep though. I'm hoping that this means bub is at least thinking of making an appearance soon. Months and months back I picked the 12th as the date of arrival so it would totally freak me out if that happened

    I'm off for a lie down - take care!

    Hello There everybody.....
    Been busy around here harnessing DH ehile he is still off so have been working on the house a lot! Planted and ripped out a whole garden bed out the front - massive old hibiscus in there from 1960! Looks much more contemporary now but a lot shorter so hopefully all the plants grow fast to give us some more privacy!
    Dis- Not long to go now! Is the new addition going to be a swans member in under 4 days to beat Ben? How amazing is he with his Thomas book and trotting off to bed? How much milk do you give him at night time just wondering? I am glad its cooler too - we have jumped in the lake a few times to cool off while working....thats great about your BH, are you getting much colostrum when you pump?
    Mell- Thats great you some time with just Becca, and excellent about Olivia's hips - good luck! How is your hair? I got my colour done yesterday too! How are olivia's day sleeps going now? Do you think she is ready to drop them altogether?
    Kel- Wow, I didnt realise Lily was still on two day sleeps, far out! Maybe if she goes to one, her nights will improve too? Glad you are having some time just with Liam too- Good luck with the toilet training!
    Us- Beau has taken to waking at 5am, and I cant keep my eyes open! I know Im not as bad off as you guys up 20 times a night but still!! Hope I am tired from being PG! Heres hoping! Went shopping with my SIL today but was dampened by a bit of a fight with DH last night about money so only used some gift vouchers to buy a dust buster - exciting!!! Apart from that, Beau is ok, said "mum mum and dada" last night which was a bit thrilling!!!
    Anyone heard from Kris or Kaz lately?
