MoM - I hope it is nothing too serious. Thinking of you.

Buzzie - I know what you mean about going back to work. I'm even dreaming about it now Monique's childcare is finally going to open on 27 Jan which is my first day back at work so I have asked for 4 more days off to ease Monique into childcare. So good that Ash has settled in well. I think we are hanging out as much as you are for Rob's parents to be back hehehe.

Kitten - bummer about your job but you have skills to pick up work anywhere.

Bek - I don't think I will be able to help myself finding out the gender of bubs so we most likely will. How excellent that your scan is only 2 days after mine. This pg has gone so fast already it's crazy. I can see your conundrum about childcare for Loren. I'm putting Monique in so I can go back to work for 4 months and then take maternity leave again which will be good for our bank balance but I also think it will be good for her too because she loves playing with other kids and she will do things that we don't really do here like painting (I can't get my head around all the mess just yet). I'm deciding whether to leave Monique in part time when bub#2 arrives just so I have some time with bubs in the first few weeks, maybe even for 6 weeks while we are in the newborn fog. Don't know. Will have to see how she goes in the next 4 months.

OMG we had our first poo in the bath the other night and it was soooo gross! I heard Monique grunting but didn't think anything of it until I saw a million floaties in the bath - yuck! Evacuated quick smart and then lovely DH sorted the bath out.

We had the best night in a long time last night. Monique finally went to sleep at 10pm (was sooo hot) and then woke up just after 8am. So happy she is finally sleeping but I'm not having very good sleep grrrrr.

Better get miss some lunch.
