Sheree...
Hugs to you. You have every right to tell us your problems - as we all tell our problems - and it's not too much, or a problem for us. We are glad that we can be your shoulder.

And I am grateful to all of you guys that I can vent whenever I'm p***ed off with my DH, my real estate agent, my staff - and everyone else that p***es me off.

I enjoy hearing all the stories from you girls - warts and all. The joyous moments are great, but the ugly moments realise that we all have problems with our kids.

Sheree... you have gone through hell and back in the last year. I think you've copped more grief then any of us. Between Lachlans medical problems, and moving home and work. You must be such a strong woman!

Don't ever be nervous about telling us your problems. That's what friends are for.

Okay - my latest problem
I got an email from my mother a hour or so ago.
I haven't seen her for about 8 years. Yariv has never met her. The closest he came was when she left some of my belongings out the front of her house and told me to pick them up. Yariv & I had just started seeing each other, and he came out with me to get them. I told her about my 1st pregnancy about 1 month before I gave birth. As yet, she doesn't know about the 2nd pregnancy; although I was going to tell her at some point. She lives in NSW (don't know where). She is coming down to Melbourne for 3 days (for a wedding) and wants to meet me, Yariv & Shaun. I once told her that if she came to melbourne we could meet somewhere neutral (like a shopping centre or cafe). So I guess I am going to meet up with her (end of September). Yariv wasn't too impressed... he said we should just leave a box out front with a note on it He'll come - if only to support me. It's weird, but normally this sort of event would have me in turmoil - but right now, I've got more important things to worry about.

Good news:
I went to my ob today. Although just prior to my appointment he had to go to the hospital (next door) and perform an emergency ceasar. So I had to wait 1.5 hours. But it wasn't so bad. And he said that the u/s result were all good, and baby is feeling fine. My next appointment is in 6 weeks - then I will see him a bit more regularly after that.

Kim - when do you have to make a decision about the job? Have you decided?

Sara - Shaun is like spiderman! He crawls into and onto everything. Last night he discovered the print on our wall... so he gets on the couch, puts one leg on the arm and one leg on the TOP of the couch, so that he can reach over and swing the print. At occassional care today, when I picked him up, they said he climbs on everything too. If they turn for two seconds - he's standing ON the table! I wonder how many bones he will break in his future years???
