Jayne & Lisa - I hear you loud and clear about the weight lose. I was 54kg at school and put on 35kg in my first year of Uni and never been able to shift it. I would love to get down to 60kg before DH gets home and before I get fat again with bub number 2. The shakes are going well. They taste good and I'm not getting hungry, just constipated (not as bad as when I was pregnant though!!). It is hard to stick to it when on holidays though. I went to a friends place for dinner last night and they had pizza for tea and it wasn't even awesome tasting pizza. Such a waste of calories.

Jayne & Kristy - Tobi isn't saying many words either, but you can't shut him up. I have been a bit worried about it, but he seems a bit slower in all of his development, so I think if he gets to 18months and still not saying much, then I will worry. Like your girls, Tobi does seem to understand a lot. The other night we were at a friends place and he was drawing. Pulling out a crayon out of the box and putting it back before he took out another. It was very cute and then he tried to put the lid back on. I told him to use two hands, as it will be easier to put on and he did and got the lid back on.

Jayne & Kristy - They say that you shouldn't use toothpaste until 2 years as they swallow it instead of spitting and too much fluoride for kids can be dangerous. And you should use kid toothpaste until 6 years. I use it every now and then with Tobi. I know that he likes cleaning his teeth with toothpaste better. We only get him to brush (munch on the toothbrush) once a day.

Jayne - I would be jacked too about electrician. I have been having so much trouble getting work done for our unit in Brisbane. No one seems to do a good job anymore or even wants the work. Getting quotes is such a pain.I am wasting so much money on phone calls ringing people that never show up.

Kel & Jayne - Tobi has had a cold now for ages too. Going on 7 weeks. I took him to the doctor as I thought he could be allergic to something but they wont do tests until he turns two. He said to give Tobi some antihistamine. But then a friend said that antihistamines can be really dangerous for under 2years. What do I do? Go by my doctor or by my friend's Dad who is also a doctor? Anyway, I am thinking it could be milk as it started when I stopped breast feeding and put Tobi on more cows milk. But if it only gives him a snotty nose, then I am not going to worry too much. He seems happy and healthy otherwise. What are you guys doing to clear up the nose's in your household?

Ryn - I hope the scan goes well today and don't stress about Liebs, he'll be fine.

Kristy - Being pregnant is the best excuse to get cranky and say all the things you wouldn't normally say. Take advantage and fix all the things you don't like at home or with other people!!!

Lisa - We have one of those caravans too. They are awesome. Tobi loves it. But his helmet doesn't sit on properly and he tries to pull it off a lot. So before a bike ride we have to get him used to it for hour or so first.

My nephew - Well I got to babysit my nephew for a day and I think I have worked out some of their problems for them and Harrison seems a lot happier and sleeping better, which is fantastic. Maybe I should be a midwife too. I would love to become one or a child health nurse, but I wouldn't like the hours. I am thinking of doing financial planning, bank hours seem good to me!!

Take Care everyone. That is enough from me for today. xxx
