Hiya!
Abb - I hope you and DP can have a good talk when he gets home. Must be hard to have the weight of something like that to bear on your own. Obviously it's stressing you out, so hopefully talking about it all will ease your mind a bit. A friend of mine is in a similar situation with just having been told by her dr that if she wants to conceive to try now or never. I really hope things work out the way you want, and medical issues don't put a dampener on things. If only our bodies worked the way they're supposed to all the time...
Sass - men can be such idiots! I'm sure they have no concept of the seriousness of things, especially the most important stuff like having a baby! I hope your friend finds her way on to BB, and it's great that her mum's happy, but she definitely has a bit of thinking to do. Good on you for giving her books, and whatever advice you could in such short time!
I'm going to see the FDC carer tomorrow morning to see what she's like, though I didn't get a good impression from the initial phone calls. Her english isn't great, and my arabic is worse! We'll see how Aadi takes to her, and what my instinct is, and go from there. It's only 6 weeks now till we go overseas, so I can probably wait till we get back to find another place if this one's no good.
Re - the rash, was it Brauer's you gave her? That shouldn't have caused an allergic reaction. How scary! Hope Jayda's ok now. Bizarre.

Girl - wow! That's a pretty serious haircut! I bet Jess is thinking "send some to Tiahna!". Was Yasmeenia born with lots of hair? A friend sent me photos of their little boy the other day, he's just turned 1, and he has the most amazing curly hair. He's lebanese-algerian, and just gorgeous! I can't wait to meet him in June. Aadi just has a little mohawk still. They're so cute when they talk to themselves in the mirror!

Jess - sorry, you're still Je$$ to me! WOTB?! I knew you'd get addicted. I hope I didn't lead you (and your credit card) astray with all my nonsense about going cloth! But isn't it just too much fun?

LMK - yes, I still feed Aadi to sleep for his day naps sometimes. I know it's bad, but it works. I know he can go to sleep without it, but NEVER in his cot. I don't mind feeding him to sleep as it's the only quiet, relaxed time in my day with Aadi. But really the main problem is that he doesn't sleep more than 2-3 hours at a time at night. He wakes and is up and crawling or standing at the cot rail screaming within seconds. So there's no opportunity to resettle, even if I watch the clock and stand by his bed when I know he's about to stir. He's incredible. He throws the most atrocious tantrums at the worst possible hour! He even woke every hour all thru the night after I gave him Pain Stop, which is a sedative that the pharmacist insisted I didn't need. She told me to try sleep school!! If I could get into sleep school before Aadi is in high school, I'd consider it. And if it didn't cost $3000! It's DP's turn to camp out in Aadi's room this weekend, and I'm going to the bungalow. It's all we can do until our paed is back from leave and gives us a referral to the unsettled baby clinic. I wish it was just that Aadi needed to be close to me, but he kicks and pushes me away. This too shall pass.... one day!
So great about Lachlan TTing now too! Well done, little guy!

Mis - How's Stanks doing now? Hope things have settled down a bit for you both now!

ok, time to cook dinner and wake the boys. They're snoozing together and it's late!
