Hey Lis, glad you worked it all out. Yey on Olivia's sleeping well - isn't it a relief when things go as planned? LOL We have had MASSIVE improvements with sleep this last week since I bit the bullet and moved Autie to her own room finally and cut out nighttime feeds. It's almost too good to be true! I don't know about Olivia, but the list I gave for Autie (to my mum) was: music DVDs (she's not into cartoons), musical instruments (drums, xylophone etc), shape sorter, clam pool (for a sandpit), books with moving parts/textures/flaps, 'press here and something happens' type toys, plastic pots and pans (we have fake food already and i want my tupperware back!), doll's pram (she loves to push things), peek-a-blocks. I don't really need clothes but I'm sure she will be given some but maybe if you do you could be specific. Like 'just long sleeved going out tops' or 'dark pants she can crawl in' etc. I look forward more to Autie's birthday than my own! LOL

Emma - I hear you on the growth spurt though strangely I'm finding the problem mostly in her grow suit arms being too short Maybe you could get something furniture wise for a present? A pretty lamp, wall hanging, rug or toybox. Or you could make up a time capsule for her to open when she's older. Or you could start a tradition where you buy her like a single pearl for each birthday so she has a real pearl necklace when she's 21 (or a charm bracelet, small diamonds or gemstones to make into a bracelet/necklace/earring set)

Sarah - It's a good idea for children's health care cards - maybe we should let Mr Rudd know! LOL Our GP bulk bills for kids which is great. Weight wise, Autie was 7kg at 4m and is only just now 8kg 7m later - I wouldn't worry too much if he is active and healthy.

Megan, Lucas sounds like he's a lot of fun and you're really enjoying him which is unreal. Do you find he is really picking up a lot of new skills and tricks all of a sudden? So many cute little things keep popping up for us almost everyday lately. Good luck with your move - hope it all goes smoothly.

V - I'm lucky in that I don't have to work and can be a SAHM which is all I've ever really wanted though I would think about part-time work in a few years if it was something that really interested me. You have to do what you have to do so I hope it all works out for you the way you want.

Jas - I probably wouldn't consider TTC until at least December. I really suffered with swelling (to the point of sitting with my feet in iced water crying by the end) and I want Autie to have a certain level of independence before I get like that again! The thought excites me though! Good luck!

Too late for me to be up - night all
