christine - Hope Riley's poor bum gets better. Arch wanted to sleep in this morning too, the one morning we had to be up by 8:30, typical! It willbe hard for you to accept your Dad's new "friend", no doubt, i guess you'll just have to keep reminding yourself that she is making your Dad happy and thats all that matters, goodluck with it, hope she's lovely.

Leanne - Arch went to bed at 11 with me last night, so i feel for you, Arch never runs out of batteries, he has to be forced to sleep. Does Katy usuallygo to bed at a decent hour?

Kim - do you mean dark spotting as in red spots or brown spots? I remember having yucky cramps and heaps of cm around the 12 week mark, i freaked out too, but it must have been all the streching and growing going on down there. Big hugs, see the doc tomorrow and put your mind at ease.
