Kristy - I want to be pregnant now too, but alas I am not getting laid. At least my AF is back, so when DH gets home we can start trying. It took us 9months for Tobi, but I am really hoping that we'll be up the duff by Christmas. Fingers Crossed.

No TTC for us yet, prob start trying at end of year.
thanks for thoughts on the pillow - not only does Monkey love it, but we have massive news..... She can put herself to sleep!!!!
last fri, DH just decided to try to put her down when she was calm but not falling asleep in his arms and to our surprise she just rolled over, snuggled into pillow, cuddled te-da (teddy) and closed her eyes!!!! She has now done this for 5 nights in a row - we still sit in her room initially and give her a cuddle for a couple of min until she stops wriggling, but a couple of min vs up to 40 min is amazing - its changed our world!!!!
Even more jaw dropping is that she also did this for MIL while she babysat her on Sat night while we were at a wedding!!!!
Monkey is also walking properly now!
Been a big week all round really! (bit of a selfish post.... sorry)

Wow Kel... how exciting for you, going on a holiday to NZ... Are you nervous about Jem on the plane? Harrison is a good traveller in the car, he mostly just sleeps, but I wonder how he'd be on a plane. I hope you all have a fantastic holiday.
Are yoy excited about going back to work? I would be!!! I consider it all the time, but there is a huge part of me that just can't leave Harrison... I don't know if it is because of losing Noah, but I am sooooooooooooo much more paranoid about Harrison than I was about James and Madeleine... and I was paranoid enough with them!!! I haven't left Harrison with anyone for more than 3 hrs... and that was once, with my sister, for a concert... and he was not real happy about it... the 2nd longest time I have left him was for 15 mins and that was with my Mum and my sister together.

I'm glad I'm not the only one still finding it hard to leave Monkey! Wow Lisa, that is incredible! But good on you for doing what feels right for you and Harrison.
I'm cool with day care now, and after last sat night's wedding success with MIL, am starting to feel more confident with her too..... but I still find night outings the hardest.
Have fun on holiday to NZ, Kel! I'm sure Jemima will be fine on the plane, she'll probably just wander up and down the aisle making friends!!! Monkey has always been pretty good on planes - even when we did the 3hr flight to and from Cairns, she wasn't too bad, just had a little time on each flight where she was bored/tired etc.... But that was also before she could get around on her own, so she was frustrated on our laps the whole time....
Just have to tell you all something funny.... Monkey is now starting to say "no" (by shaking head, not the word) appropriately to questions I ask her, like "have you done a poo?" She'll shake "no" if she hasn't and just look at me or point to her nappy if she has - how cool!
But the funniest one is when I ask her if she's got any teeth coming!! Occasionally I stick my finger in to check, but she just shakes her head when I ask her "any teeth today darlin'?" Very funny!!! Her expectations of her getting teeth are obviously as low as mine are now......
