im another who hadnt gotten any email notifications only to find out there is a new thread already!

Amanda- hats off to you for bf for 17months. i remember how sad i felt after i made it to almost 9months with Nixon you almost double that great stuff! i suppose if u guys knwo u are havign another there is that feeling of you can do it again. But for me well aint looking that way wish is sad that you can get a 33wkr to the breast after all the crap in the begining to a FT baby blatently refusing it!

Maya- thanks for your advise. the only reason i haven't hired a LC or joined ABA is fear of throwing money down the drain. Havent mentioned it on BB before cause i dont know if she reads but my doula let me down BIG TIME. i paid her $700 for ONE visit. she has not rung me since the day i gave birth to Tyron,actually the text i got from her after my announcemnet was "are you ok" i found it offensive and like i felt like i let her down or something, as if i wasnt ok i had a healthy beautiful full term baby in my arms. not even a text msg since that day. the few days i was in hosp b4 she never came to visit me, i was on the ph to her and text msgs but she never came to see me before, during or after Tyron was born. I want to get some money back but havent had the guts to call her (dunno why its my money) i know her son was going in for an op the week i was in hosp so i fear if i say what i feel then find out something bad went on i'll never forgive myself.
But yeah basically i went against everyones opinions (dh, mum, sister) and paid for the doula (all my hard tupperware work) and it back fired in my face.

Rory- yes i read two bubs from your thread have popped already! muyt be like de ja vou for you! yes good time to pack your bags i rekon!

jules- i rekon the red bull thing would have been awesome, we watched parts on telle and i said to dh we should go next year! well one year anyway i would love to see it, its absolutley INSANE what they do!

Ali- congrats on being on Mat leave whoo hoo!

bath- oh what a good dh in the end lol! i cracked it at mine thismorning, i got up got Nixon breakfast, made dh lunch, unpacked the dishwasher, got out some breakky and then Ty woke up. as i was feeding him dh emerged out of bed, had his breaky got ready and went. wasnt till the boys were sorted i realised he left all his plates in the sink messed the kitchen up again and ate my dam breakfast!!!!
