    Morning!

    SB - pics are great, Shane looks so cute!

    MM - for V being unsettled, but yay for more teeth! Still no sign of teeth here yet, I'm starting to wonder he if has any

    Mel - hope you are doing well!

    Vic - yay for the prem doll - it is so amazing to see how much N has grown!

    Well I got up this morning and put on a batch of Hot Cross Buns using my breadmaker. They're so easy - the machine does the dough part hehe all I have to do is put all the ingredients in, whack it on and in an hour and a half the dough is ready. Have just put them into the oven, yum! I'll let you know how they turn out, havent ever done them before so it will be interesting! LOL

    Anyways gotta fly, Mum and I are heading out!

    Hi to everyone!

    quickie while Beth is distracted
    Had a lovely meetup yesterday with Kitt3n, rufalina, epacris, katones and csab got piccies too
    The Bear is back from his leadership course and is having a snooze. Beth only woke up ONCE last night instead of twice ... things will get a bit better in the sleeping department! She is so cute at the moment... she just walked the whole length of the couch (holding on of course) to get to me. Thanks for all the comments on the walker video
    MM hope the teeth come through soon.... poor Vey! and poor you, wakeful baby plus insomnia bleah
    sash - sorry to hear about the poo explosions.... hope it ends soon for you!
    Beema sorry the house won't be ready. Would love to see pics of the prem doll - especially next to Nakita that would really show how much she's grown!
    SB loved your pics on FB.... hope that sleep thingy was some help.
    Mel - mwah! me wuvs ya babe! hope the new car is a winner
    Well that's about it from us, hope everyone has a great weekend!
    to everyone I missed

    Well its been quiet in here!!

    MT... Thats good that the CC is in the same building- very handy and very family friendly!! It sounds like Jett will be fine!

    On a similar note- a question....

    Shane does not like to be held by anyone but me and DH and my mum when he see's her. He is fine at MG to play with the other kids and not be in my arms, but as soon as someone else tries to hold him it takes all of about 3 seconds before the bottom lip goes and he bawls... this is with people that he sees a bit- and then today with My Aunt and Uncle- who fair enough he hasnt seen since he was about 3 months old- but still even after about half an hour of plaing with them- he wouldnt be held. He gave my Aunt a kiss though which was cute!!

    He really doesnt spend alot of time with anyone but me and i am wondering if this is normal or if i should try and get him more comfortable with other people? I know at our 8 month check up with the nurse- being wary of strangers was something she checked off as it was a normal response- but i am just curious how your babies are with strangers, but also with people who they do see fairly regularly.

    Thanks- hope everyone has had a cracker of a weekend!!

    I just left this msg in the TTC after miscarriage topic here on BB:

    Hi girls,

    I hope you don't mind me dropping in and leaving this message! Two years ago this group was my lifeline - I was a mess after losing my first baby and having a missed miscarriage. I stayed sane because of the support of girls like you. Even though I don't know you, I am so thankful for people like you who are there to support each other through the tough times.

    I am now mum to the happiest and most well-behaved baby ever. My son is now 8 months old and I am loving every moment of being a mum. I really think that having a miscarriage changes you to appreciate each and every day you have being a mum. I can't imagine life without him but I still remember the dark days on the journey to getting here.

    As I hit the 2 year anniversary of losing my first, the one thing I wanted to do was come in here and give the girls in this topic a huge virtual hug and a little bit of encouragement. I'd go through anything to be able to result in having the son I am blessed with now, he is incredible. I hope you are given the desires of your heart soon and get to meet the most wonderful little boys and girls ever too.

    With love...
