Thanks to everyone for reassuring me about flying with Cooper. I am soooo excited about going, I dont think I have been this excited to go home in the 4 years that I have lived in Melbourne. I guess I am looking forward to showing off my beautiful boy.

Kim, great news about Darcy putting on weight. Are you over your food poisoning yet? I know what you mean about getting around with prams in shops. I struggle daily with a pram in the supermarket, trying to steer it and carry a basket full of groceries. Not a pretty sight. I will organise a money order for you this week, so dont think I have forgotten you. I think of you when I bath Cooper now, I love the bedtime bath stuff, smells so good.

Vic, that was such an interesting story about Hayley and her colic. I admire all mums with colicy babies. It must be so hard in every way, emotionally, physically and mentally. I dont think I would survive it.

Kellee, sorry to hear Toby is suffering with colic. I hope it gets better really soon.

I started my mothers group today. It's for first time mums and goes for 8 weeks, 2 hours every Thursday. There were 7 mums there, and they seem nice. Cooper was well behaved, and they all commented on how placid he is. We cover different topics each week, and I am particularly interested in child CPR and first aid (hope its not the week I am away). Most of us are in the same boat, having not lived in the area for very long and dont know many people. I hope to make some friendships out of it as I would like a friend that I didnt meet through DH. It is so hard moving interstate and leaving behind friends and family. His friends are lovely, but its not the same.

Hope you are all well,
