Girl - There are a couple of bubs in my playgroup that are the same age or older than Aadi and they're not crawling yet. They do the same thing as Yasmeenia tho, spinning around on their bottoms and moving around the room like that! Don't worry about it. My friend's DS is a day younger than Aadi and doesn't even have any sign of teeth yet!
Good luck with uni, and your assignments!

Bec - I hope you're feeling better now. I know it's hard, but try not to stress about the BF, it probably doesn't help! If you can keep at it for 12 months, then you've done so great, and it will be easier to decide what you want to do then. AF really seems to mess things up a bit, especially if it's only just started for you. I found some really helpful info and advice on kellymom dot com that really eased my mind, I can send you a link if you want. I found it quite by accident because I was googling repair advice for my medela pump coz it wasn't working (it had been so long since I'd used it!). I hadn't looked at their site for maybe 6 months. It's a bit, well, american, but still relevant. Lucky Cam was so good for you when you were so sick. Also, I hope you work out something with childcare. I'm looking into family daycare and occasional care here now, since I'm not going to get a break any other way!
With the name changing business, unfortunately it's all thru Qld. I was born there, and Australia just isn't federated in some really major, important things like that. Argh! They're so backward and slow!! I have to get onto it and sort it out ASAP, and pay the stupid fees to have my dad's name legally again. I don't even want to be associated with him or his name, but I have to. For Aadi's ID, and if I ever want to live overseas (and therefore marry DP!). He's applying for work in Paris, and I'd be silly not to want to go there!

Jess - isn't it devastating when you think you've snaffled a great thing in an online stocking, and then it's gone?! It sucks! I don't know what Aadi's issue is, but 3am he's awake and yelling and kicking. DP and I are not the kind of people to yell or get angry, but we're being frustrated a lot at the moment. I haven't taken him swimming lately as we've all got a cold, and Gymbaroo is too far away and expensive, and by all accounts, pretty lame anyway. He just tears around the house all day, and I try and wear him out as best I can! Paed said I have to be REALLY strict with his discipline, but it's certainly hard when he doesn't understand anything much yet.
Oops, he's awake. Better go!
