sara - how exciting becoming a doula! wish i lived near you so you could be my doula. Good on you for doing something for youself, will make all the difference i reckon, take way that feeling like your day to day life is so monotonuos and mundane sometimes. My mum put her bachelor of Nursing o hold this year too, she has a big decision to make whether or not she will continue the course, she has 1.5 years to go, having no money while studying and still having a teenager to support is her dilemma, she doesn't have a husband to rely on unfortunately. I used to think id like to be a midwife, but having gone through the labour and birth and seeing what midwives do i don't think i could hack it, hospitals scare me for a start! Im glad Colby is sleeping so well and not having wind troubles, hopefully it was just the baked potato. gotta love the dummy, it has been my saviour, Arch has been an extremely sucky bub right from the start, i feel bad sometimes when i shove it in his mouth so he'll be quiet. i didn't get ur email my address is elissamancuso@optusnet.com.au (hope im allowed to post it here) Love your ticker photo it is so gorgeous, its so weird to imagine Archie having a baby brother or sister at this age! My house is putrid atm, i haven't mopped in ages and having vaccuumed in a week, and i have no excuses like a new baby! Will do it on Sunday morning while Arch is at nanna's

kim- hope your 6 hr drive goes quickly and Darcy is happy enough in her carseat. GL finding a house.

shazz- hi!

tania - wow baby boys everywhere! we haven't had any girls in the family or friends for 7 years all been little boys. hope your friends bubba's lungs get working properly asap so they can cuddle him. Congratualations on the house, and its the one u wanted tahts great! When do you move in? Do u have to move far? I hope Jayden is feeling better tonight and u get a good sleep.

Archie has been very cute this morning (of course), he has taken quite a liking to a certain teddy this week (it is a little AFL bear that sings the team song and has a footy jumper its a Sydney one Poppy's team) he had to put socks on the teddy when i was putting his socks on, thenhe shared his brekky and drink with teddy,a tad messy, then he took teddy to bed and i tucked teddy in next to him and gave teddy a dummy, Archie just thought it was so cool that teddy had a dummy too lol.

DH and i are going to The Ballroom Blitz saturday night with friends, it is a function they hav down here once a year, you dress up in 70s stuff and dance to 70s music all night, its really fun. Don't know whether i will drink or not, still have this bug that isn't bad just a bit uncomfortable and annoying but dont think i want to annoy my body any more by filling it with alcohol. I bet eveyone will assume im pregnant again cause i won't be drinking......

Archie is sleeping through Playgroup yet again, will have to go next week though i have a raffle book to return.

Enjoy your weekends

leanne - woohooo i bet ur excited its Friday!!!
