    As for Christmas we do the family thing. Off to Perth this year to see the in laws.

    Christmas was a big thing in our house as a kid and probably will be for Will. One year as a kid my dad shaved the ice from the freezer and put it at the bottom of the ladder to the roof (so Santa could get down). He then woke me up and told me it was snow from the North Pole. Another year we bought hay for the reindeer and my parents walked round poking holes in the dirt so I thought they had been in our yard. I was about 10 when I worked out it was a scam but kept it going till I was 15 (not that my folks believed that I believed) so I would get the extra pressie, lol. Even now my mum still gives me something small that she calls my Santa present, just for the joke.

    Don't get me started on what my parents would do at Easter (lets just say we didn't see the cat for 3 days once).

    Hi girls, I hope you are all going well.

    Macca! I can't believe Will has 7 teeth! WOW! I keep having these dreams that Flynn has a full set of chompers but he still only has the bottom 2. Congrats on the weight loss! That is awesome, good for you!

    As for us, Flynn has started 'crawling'. It is a very funny action where by he propels himself with one foot and slides along on one knee. He alternates which knee is on the ground and which foot is pushing him! It is quite funny to watch, he looks a bit like a crab! He is getting more and more fun every day. I just love being a mum!

    Some exciting and scary news for us is that I'm expecting another baby ! I'm a bit worried that we're going to lose it (I don't particularly 'feel pg and have had a mc before...) so I haven't really told anyone (unless they happen to read it on this public forum!!). Bub is due in July so I won't be heavily pg in summer which is great. I'm nervous and excited and several other emotions all at once!

    I've got to go now. Hope you are all going great, take care.

    Just a quick one to say CONGRATULATIONS to CM!! Woo hoo!!!!

    I was beginning to wonder who would be the first of us to get back on the pg bandwagon. Stay positive that your little bubba will stick - we'll all help by throwing you some (I'm throwing girl sticky vibes - betta let us know if that's a prob for you!!!! ). Huge congrats again.

    And Macca - well done on the weight loss, you're doing great. Wow, seven teeth ... Cam still isn't showing any signs of teeth yet!

    Congratulations CM. That is fantastic news for you. My first pregnancy resulted in a miscarriage and I then went on to have four babies with no problems so im sure this little one will be just fine. Im sure you are so busy concentrating on your little man that you are not focused on the changes in your body.
    I too was wondering who would be back on the bandwagon first. I have had a bit of a scare and had a negative blood result today so I can gladly say its not me. We do want another but just not yet, my cycle is all over the show so lets hope we can have another when we are ready.

    Scout is continuing to thrive at a wicked pace. Still just the two bottom teeth and he is 77cms and just cracked the 9 kilo mark. So I hear ya bout the "skinny" looking baby Macca. I think he is loosing weight as he is soooo full on. He is madly pulling up (and crashing down) on everything. We have at least half a dozen bumped heads a day and it doesnt stop him. He is loving his swimming lessons. Im so glad I started them after watching that sad story on 60 minutes the other night. Having a pool is great but I dont want it to be a scary thing IYKWIM

    We had DS10 party on Saturday night. Lets just say 4am DH finally had enough and turned into cranky Dad to get them to go to sleep. We went in with water guns at 8.30 to wake them all up. They were not impressed and by the time they were picked up at 11am I dont think bed was too far away for most of them. I said to the Mums when they dropped the boys off that I make no apologies for the moods which if my boy was any thing to go by, would have been pretty feral. I wont be doing it again thats for sure! Sorry Scout.

    Well thats about all in our camp my little treasure has had his 40 min power nap so I best go get him

    Have a happy Wednesday

    YAY Catherine!!! Good for you! I have to ask...please tell me to bugger off....was it planned? I was only thinking the other day that when Ben was Jake's age I was 5 months pregnant already!

    You've given me incentive to get in and post so I'll do my best to get back. It's our anniversary today, not doing anything special but things have been a-ok here for a while and things are picking up.... so you never know I might be other-wise engaged :P

    Oh no plans for any more babies here either!!

    Thanks girls. The sticky vibes are appreciated !! I'm not worried what it is so long as it's healthy, tho I do think in many ways it would be easier to have another boy this time round (not sure if there will be a # 3...I'm just hoping there is only 1 in there...both sides of our fams have STRONG history of twins )

    YAY Catherine!!! Good for you! I have to ask...please tell me to bugger off....was it planned? I was only thinking the other day that when Ben was Jake's age I was 5 months pregnant already!

    Bugger off Bec!!! No, just kidding, That's cool! Well the answer is yes and no!! I wanted a winter baby and the options were have Flynn 1 and a half or 2 and a half. I thought 2 and a half was a bit too big of a gap, but I was kind thinking more August (get pg round Nov) than July (rather than Oct) so we hadn't really talked about it. I guess it's kind of been decided for us now! I'm really quite excited when I think about it! How did you find having 2 so close together? What do I need to think about?

    Melinda I'm 6 weeks. Bub is due 10th of July, but like last time I'm expecting it to be late so I won't be disappointed if it is!!
