- Laughed out loud!! at your big deck comment. Gosh we have fun with the kiwi accent hey!! and I meant Odin, not Oscar but whatever ! doh to me! It's very funny when I'm talking to Ruby in a sweet voice and saying "hello bubby" my dog Sugar creeps up hoping that I'm talking to her!!

it's so fine. That's one of the great things about this site is people who care can help you when you need it. And sh*t happens, we all fall "off the wagon" baby steps all the way mate. Doesn't make you a bad person, or less of a great mummy, you just have stuff to sort out. Like everyone. and Ik's advice is spot on.
Get yourself an "advocate" - like at birth, someone who knows what is going on and can be firm and helpful with everyone because it's very emotional for you right now.

well when/if you're in Moorebank (will have to look that up lol!) maybe we could get the Syd. mothers together. IF you think you have lots to do now, wait till you have 2 kids to catch up on. I must admit that's where blogging has been really good because you can do that really quickly, and then it reminds you later when you come to scrabook it, you know 2 years later...

the thing with scrapbooking is JUST START! it's absolutely deadly for a perfectionist because you keep thinking I have to start at the begining adn you've got 2 kids so you've got buckleys of getting it all organised! What's BBL? Belly belly later??

did you stay out all night?? jealous as!! Sat night I stayed at a friend's till 12ish and picked up my DH from work in the city about 1ish (He's a chef) so although Ruby slept thru, G was very excited about picking up daddy "from the middle of the night". At least teh girls didn't wake till 8 the next morning. but I was totally wasted! Im not so young anymore.

Ali25 - uhoh! does that mean Ruby's going to crawl soon?? Clapping is the cutest! Glad you had a great time with the fam.

Karen - that's all you need hey? you must be exhausted, how's Luke today? Poor little muppet. and how are you going?
