Christy - have a great birth! I hope you find the HypnoBirthing as instrumental as I did
Jess - good one with the chooks - a happy hen makes tastier eggs! Can't wait to have our own food one day (chooks, goats, cows, piggies, veggie patch, orcahrd) - Sara must be working on all of these things at her farm. So sorry to read about the real estate agent's caper with you - prejudice is a rot in the brain and it never makes sense. And, yes, you are very articulate, not like caravan folk at all Just kidding!! Sheesh, I'll be taken to the EOC one of these days!
Rory - well put, yesterday, by the way. Cee Cee is right, you don't have to parent the same way to get along (or I'd have only my ABA friends! Not that it would be a bad thing, but I've got heaps more mummy friends under my belt ). I believe that most of us put a lot of thought into our posts and write from a caring place within ourselves and not from hotheadedness. I believe that the reason we do get along well is because we have been able to have animated debates but retain a level of respect for one another. Everyone deserves respect by virtue of being human and having feelings - basic empathy, really. That said, I find it easier to be empathetic and others can't get there, so sympathy will suffice!
Daylight savings is nearly here, East Coast girls! Woo Hoo! And how lovely was Melbourne, last night? Was so balmy out Lilydale way, where I was. Such a nice drive home.
I guess I have nappies to fold today...
Shower first before Oscar wakes (nearly couldn't pull myself away from him as he did his periodic sucking, with an adorable hand on my boob and the other stretched out above his head, in blissful sleep). What a cherub. I'm gushing again. DP would roll his eyes!
