Hi all

so much to catch up on!!

Mel - poor you - I hope you and Jack are feeling better today. A pamper session at the hairdressers should help. I was going to get a Mirena but I have heard a few funny things about it so I am not sure now. What do you think you will use for contraception instead? We were going to go straight for a vasectomy but when Dh saw the specialist he was asked if we would want another child if one was to die as morality rates in infants is high in the first 12 months of life (I know this sounds heavy) and after talking we said yes we would so we have decided to hold off for a year or two on the vasectomy (not that I think anything is going to happen to one of the children). Any news on the house? Hehehehe about charlize and Jesse - they would make such a cute little pair!!

V - have fun at the Perth meet up. SOunds like it is all go with the wedding plans!!

Fran - how did you ob and paed appointment go? I have my ob appointment today.

Sara - I hear you on the stinky nappy bins - some of them are revolting. There is a really really nice new parents room at a shopping centre near where I live - I love going there to feed/change Charlotte which sounds rather sad but it is so clean and modern. Have you been getting some early nights with Aaron home?

Rebecca - sounds like Xavier is sleeping like a dream - yay and thank goodness!! Sleep makes for a happier mummy and a happy mummy makes a happy DH and so on!!

Nicky - Thats so funny how you and Rebecca met - especially as your mums work together. it is such a small world isnt it!!

Well not much is new here. Charlotte is still sleeping and feeding really well and without sounding like I am going on about it I am just so thankful as I dont know how I would have managed with Oliver and Jesse if she was an unhappy baby. I have a wedding to go to in Sydney next weekend and I dont know what I am going to wear. I am almost back into my normal clothes but not quite so I dont know if I should go and get something new or just try and make do. I guess alot of the new styles are quite loose so if I get something new i should be able to wear it again hopefully. I just dont know where to start looking -I love going shopping but feel a bit out of touch with fashion at the moment!!

Charlotte has her immunisations today (we are a bit late in getting them done) so I had best go and get ready for that.
Take care everyone

hi all,

jemima and mel, sorry to hear about all the sickies. It's no fun being sick.

Mel, at the moment my only contraception is abstinence but really we will only be sticking with natural with some condoms thrown in for good measure. we have been together for over 10 years with no accidents so hopefully that keeps working for us. Once I've decided that I've had enough I might look at a long term under skin implant or something, but that's years away.

Nicki, oh how long until you have to move if your starting to pack?

Veronica, you are not going to know your self at the end of your whirlwind of having a baby then getting married. your going to be buggered.

Well, sory ladies but we had a pretty good night last night. Xav went to bed at 8.30 after being grizzly and clingy most of the day stirred at 2.30 but went back to sleep without me having to even go in. then at 4.15 I woke up laying in a pool of milk with giant aching bazombas (he wasn't awake!!!). Well I wasn't waiting for him to wake up. So I went and picked him up, sat down and started feeding him. Imagine his surprise and happiness where he woke up not a single complaint. changed his bum half way through, got him to drain one side, and put him back to bed at 4.45. He then slept till 7.30 and instead of doing an I'm hungry cry it was more of a hello, is any one there kinda call.
The only down side to it all was that at 4.45 this morning I was standing in a cold kitchen expressing the other very full boobie, and do you think I could get back to sleep? no.

Can't complain though, he's being pretty good today, so far.
