Hey everyone! It is so quiet in here!! All those bubbas are keeping us all busy!! I have been working, sleeping when I can, washing when can, and bascially trying to fit a million things in a day!! Does it ever end!!

OK, I have a question girls (dont laugh!!!) , I feel like a bit of a d*%k, but I need some advice!! OK, AF is due this Fri, I know when I ovulate cause I get pains etc, well anyway DH and I dtd with no protection but he did withdraw (sorry if tmi!!), but the next day I had pain so am pretty 100% I ovulated. So do you think there is any chance I may be preg, I don't want to test just yet, but I swear to God, unless it is in my head, I am sooo nauseus this morning. From what I have looked up it would be pretty unlikely, but why do I feel sick!

Anyway, will just wait I spose and see if AF arrives!! OMG, not sure how I would feel though If I got a BFP. Anwyay, off to do some housework and keep myself occupied!!!

You could be pregnant. The withdrawal method isn't actually very reliable as a form of contraception because even if he withdraws in time there is still a certain amount of, um, er, leakage. On the other hand, you could just be making yourself nervous and that's making you sick, or you could have picked up a bug. Or you could be pregnant

Tan- that's great one of the other mums is pregnant. It will be lovely for you to have two bubs each growing up together.

Thanks for the hugs girls. Feeling pretty sorry for myself at the moment. The great news is that my parents have sold their house and will have moved back to Perth by the time Ned is born, which is a huge relief. Izzy is so independent a lot of the time with her play but she is still just such a baby, so it will be great to have Mum around to help me. Mum came up to visit yesterday and Izzy was so happy to see her - she kept crawling to Mum to be picked up and was so happy playing with her all day long. So nice to see and such a difference from how she is with DH's parents. It makes me angry and upset at times that my parents live 150kms away but make sure that its never more than 10 days or so that they see Iz, but DH's parents who live maybe 5kms away can go weeks without bothering to see her, but then have the nerve to say they don't see her enough! Very annoying.

Anyway, whinge over. Have a great day everyone

Lulu, great news about your folks! That will be so good for you all. I rang Mum to come help me this morning, just so she could watch kids so I could get some housework and washing done. Is so hard when Angus can't be trusted cause he is into everything!!!!

Anyway, hopefully that "leakage" (thanx Lulu!!) had no swimmers in it!!! Will just wait and see I spose!! ANyway, betta get changed, have school assembly soon, so betta be a good parent and get down there to watch!!

Good evening ladies,
OMG we have been so quiet in here lately, so different for us.

Lulu - I just noticed your ticker. OMG only 40 days to go. I can't remember, what was your labour with Izzy like? Is Iz still being clingy or is she going to her daddy a little more. That is fantastic news about your parents selling up and moving closer. The extra sets of hands will be invaluable. I know exactly what you mean about the in-laws. DH's inlaws are exactly the same. Drives me crazy too!

Shell - After Lulu's description I don't know quite where to go from there, LOL!!! But I completely agree with her. It only takes one little swimmer!! Is Angus all over his diahorrea? Did you end up getting any results? How you surviving working night shifts??

Danni - How's the packing coming? When is the big move?? Is your little man sleeping any better for you guys?

Tan - How's the morning sickness treating you? Your gorgeous little girl eating more for you yet? Betcha happy easter holidays are here, get to rest up and spend some time with your gorgeous angel.

Sangie - Managing to get any work done or being naughty like me and spending your time on here chatting to the girls?

Sarah - How are you going with Noah's sleeping after sleep school?

Ash - Your gorgeous little man walking? How's Dave? Your weekend away good?

A huge Hi to everyone who I have missed. I couldn't go back very far with this silly laptop. Hope you are all well and your bubba is treating you well.

Well nothing really exciting going on here. Livvy had her very first sleep over at Nan and Pa's on Saturday night. All three of them loved it and it was really nice to have some time off to do some serious packing. I was surprised at how well I coped. Now the first one is over they should be easier from now onwards.
Two fairly exciting things. I finished my midwifery degree on Friday!! So it's official, I'M A MIDWIFE!!!!!!!!!!!! I got a beautiful bunch of flower and taken out for dinner by Dave and Livvy. It was a great night. And I must admit I'm just so damn proud of myself for making it, YAY! Secondly, we have decided to TTC a brother or sister for Livvy in June. Only 10 weeks, YAY!! It was the soonest I could get Dave to agree. So I guess I can wait 10 weeks. I'm just so damn clucky. I have been for months and months.

So that's about all going on here. Hopefully some will be able to pop on and catch us up with what's going on with them and their gorgeous little ones. Can you believe they are nearly 1. I'm struggling with that.

Have a great night and chat again real soon,
Luv Dan.

Dan - Congratulations Mrs Midwife! That is fantastic hun, I am so happy for you! Oh and yay on TTC in June, I hope its a short journey for you Yes believe it or not I have been getting quite a bit of work done from home! Next week is a short week because I get Easter Monday off woo hoo!

Shell - Wow hun how are you feeling? Any more nausea? I agree it only takes one little feisty swimmer! Is Angus better now?

Lulu - oooohhhh its getting closer to Ned's arrival! Are you all organised yet, bags packed??? Gggrrr at you inlaws not seeing Izzy ver often, don't worry it is their loss! Fantastic news that your parents will be on hand when Ned arrives!

Hey everyone else, hope you are all well and that all the bubbas are being well behaved! Elena has just started cruising, cheeky girl is quite proud of herself! Well gotta fly, having brunch with my sister! Take care all and enjoy the easter break! Yum can't wait to get into some choccie eggs lol!

[LuluHB]

Dan - that is fantastic news. You have every right to be incredibly proud of yourself. You've had such a huge amount to balance. Good for you. And yay for TTC soon - hopefully it will be a very quick journey so you can join Tan and I (and Shell???) in the land of craziness! Labour with Iz was not flash - induction after my blood pressure when up and it still took almost 36 hours with me throwing up most of the way. Lovely experience. Aren't you glad you asked??! Still, I recovered very quickly and Iz was born without any troubles for her at all and that's the main thing. And no, not a thing packed yet, but seeing as I didn't pack with Iz until 40+4 when my OB told me I had to go to hospital NOW, I'm not that fussed Fortunately Izzy is not as clingy at the moment - I think the few days away were great because Rein carried her, fed her etc the whole time so she got some great time with her daddy.

Great news about a sleep over at grandparents. I'm still working up to that one so its nice to know babies can do it and survive! Mum mentioned it a couple of days ago to me that Iz could stay with them once they move up - I think it would make her year to have Iz overnight all to herself.

Lis - enjoy your brunch. Yummmmm. I love brunch - best meal of the day. Eggs benedict with yummy runny egg yolks - one of the first things on my wish list once Ned is born. I was naughty and ate a whole chocolate rabbit yesterday - never have been good at waiting. Yay for Elena cruising. She's on her way now - time to move anything you haven't already

Iz took 5 steps entirely on her own yesterday. I was sitting playing a metre or so away from her and she just let go of the table and walked to me. At first I was just still playing but then I realised what she'd just done. I just can't believe how quickly the development is. My baby girl is turning into a little girl. This is just such a gorgeous age though (but haven't they all been?). She's cheeky and smart and interacts so much now. Just when I think I can't love her anymore I do. Ok. Dribbly mummy stuff over now . . .

Have a great Easter everyone - hope the Easter Bunny leaves lots and lots and lots of yummies.

[Danni]

Lulu: cant believe you are so far along! Feels like just yesterday when I met you and Izzy!

Tan: hope you are feeling better and enjoy the extra long weekend

Dan: Yay on finishing your course. that is awesome!! Does that mean I can hire you as my private midwife with #2? And yay on ttc #2. I really hope it is a VERY short journey this time.

We have been ttc for 4 cycles now and still nothing. grrrr

Shelle: yep, all it takes is one little swimmer! Hope you get the result you'd be most happy with!
