Amanda - the cake looks fantastic and so do the cupcakes. Maybe you should be a cake decorator too! Good luck with the doula course. My GF has just been to her 2nd birth and said it was totally awe inspiring, she still has one more to be qualified. What better experience than birthing 4 kids yourself.

Bath - pls tell which plan you are on. I am in the process of deciding a new provider, mine is costing me way too much. Can't wait to have you back next week. I was reading another thread today and one of the girls said in her comment "this too will pass"! See how much influence you have on BB!!!

Nic - well done girl!!!! You must be relieved to get past that point. Onwards and upwards from now on. This baby is in for the long haul. Your poor friend, must be very hard for her. At least she knows what to expect with another premmie, but still hard none the less. How is the baby doing?

Haven't checked the arcarde yet, might not now if its too addictive.

With regard to internet plans, who has what plan? I am with Telstra and keep going over my limit and find it is costing me too much. Any suggestions would be great.

Spring is really in the air in Melb. Sunshine today was beautiful. Took the girls to the park for a while and Marley saw a lady walking 2 dogs. She started to try and say something (no idea what!) and started to go after them. Thankfully she is not that fast but she wasn't coming back no matter how many times I called her. MIL has 2 dogs so she has taken a real liking to all dogs. Got my brother for dinner tonight and DH is at work. I have my nieces 1st b'day tomorrow and still have to buy a present! I always leave things to the last minute, and still not sure what to buy. Any suggestions for a nice 1st b'day present????
