Hi girls, we're back from a long long weekend! It was quite a good festival, we just did the one thank god.

I have some news. To my surprise AF arrived on saturday! I thought I was getting some for sure thing signs I was pregnant, you know that 2WW can drive you a bit mental. And getting the 2 lines on the test last week...
So when I got home I took a look at the test and confirmed a horrible reality.....
I had used the OPK test instead of the HPT test!!! they look the same, and its all in another language, I must have grabbed the wrong box! You girls will think I am a complete idiot! My DH thinks I'm a twit. Of course everytime I do the OPK test I get 2 lines, according to that test I am permanently ovulating. Oohhhhhh...I'm sorry to announce so early and to be wrong. I will try and hold off until I check and double check next time girls. Thanks for all your enthusiasm and good wishes, that was really really nice and I feel pretty sad to break the news that I am actually not pregnant at all.

So baby dust to you Hayseed, I hope this month is yours.

Happy Birthday Blake! the Big 1 woohoo

Bel that swimming teacher sounds horrendous. I would have been terrified too. Poor little Coby. Why don't you just take him yourself, instead of a class? We do that and Al loves it. He has a bubble and floaties on and he does a few 'tricks' and the rest then is water play.

Hi Heather!! Yay, good to hear that your little man is doing so well. What a clever boy with all those words.

Hi Kate - sorry I can't be joining you with the pregnancy just yet. We hope to soon though! Having a week thinking I was pregnant made me admire how well you're doing. It is just such a special state to be in, carrying another little life around. And caring for Kelsey too, you're a champion. It sounds like you have a healthy little one in there.

Hi Gemma - great that your DH had made the cake. Can he do ours too?

Hi Vanita! and anyone else I missed.

Al has received some presents from Oz already. Some cute books and clothes, as well as some necessary supplies (vegemite, bonjela and paw paw ointment) so he has started his celebrations already.
DH is in Beirut for work for the week (journalist assignment this time) and will be back on monday for Al's birthday. So we will just do a picnic in the park together, no huge parties here as family are so scattered, so its quite easy. I will make a cake for him though, but just a traditional layer cake shaped like a 1...not too difficult..hehe
In a few weeks we will have another party with all the kids from our mother's group.

Better go and stick my head under a rock..love to you all

Oops, forgot to mention Al's page is updated if you're interested.
