Kellee, you poor thing, sciatica! I had it on & off last pg and it was horrible, but not nearly as bad as yours sounds. You must be exhausted with so little sleep & chasing after Charlie. But well done Charlie on sleeping in the big bed, that is fantastic, what a big boy! I had hopes that Kaleb might do that, save us buying a 2nd cot, but no way, he can't even associate the bed with sleeping at the moment, he has no self-discipline! I have hit the wall of tiredness...not sleepy tiredness, but just physical. After lugging Kaleb around for the whole dinner/bath/bed thing, I am so stuffed I can't get off the couch (DH doesn't get home from work till after Kaleb's bedtime) and when we go for a walk, even the most gentle of hills has me slowed down to 0.0001kph! Don't know how I'll get through these next 6 or so weeks...you'll be my inspiration! Hey, how did the pram shopping go? I've got a Valco Runabout, so we've just bought the toddler seat attachment for the front, but the Phil & Ted's are very cool - DH is always complaining that we should have got one of those instead, I think he just likes the whitewall tyres!

Grrr at stupid people and their stupid "oh, you'll have your hands full" comments...no $hit, I feel like saying! A classic I had on Monday...in the checkout queue in Coles, the woman standing next to me just said "so you're having another boy" and I said "no, it's a girl actually" and she said "no, it's definitely a boy, I can tell" ... what do you say to that? Didn't know whether to be peeved that she thought she knew better than an ultrasound, or to be scared that I'll have a pile of pink stuff to take back to KMart!

Mitch, glad that Jess is totally over the gastro. Thanks for your positive input on the whole 'close together' thing, it is always reassuring to hear from you on that. What kind of things do you sew? I would love to be a sewer, but I am useless at it!

OK, that's enough babbling from me, better go now!
