I'm getting good at this first thing So me first nahnahnahnah!!!

Will catch up soon I promise, just so bloody busy!!!!

[Shellbelle]

Good on ya Sarah, pop your head in long enough to claim first

Lulu, I think Angus might be amongst the youngest, he is the 25th May. I think Blakey and Mason are the eldest. Then again I am having many blonde days lately - who knows!!!

[Danni]

Mason is 15th April, and Blake is 21st April. i think Izzy is in between then?

[sangie]

KK is a great idea! Ellie and I are in for sure Great idea Tan!
Although I'm still in denial that my baby girl will be one soon

[LuluHB]

You may be having blonde moments Shell but I'm having preg head moments!! If I looked at your ticker I'd see Angus was one of the youngest!!

Izzy is 2 May so she's third at least. And I think Olivia is maybe next?

[lee75]

Ethyn's one of the youngest, he's 30 May. We got a couple of early June as well I think

[Shellbelle]

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!

The easter bunny brought way tooooo much choccies here!!! So much for that diet!

Still no AF, think I will get test Tues if it hasn't arrived by then! Anyway, better go get Angus's dinner ready! Hope everyone has had a great day!!!!

[Liviam]

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!! Hope all your little ones had a great day and easter bunny was really generous. Livvy had an easter egg hunt and it was so cute. She refused to let go of the first egg she found so I had to do the rest. Great start to the day. Good luck with testing on Tuesday Shell. Hope you get the result you want!
We'll be in on KK. Olivia is the 9th May.
Catch up soon everyone. Just finished work and start again at 7am so I'm off to bed. I'm buggered.
Have a great night everyone.
Luv Dan & Olivia

[LuluHB]

Ooooh Shell. Have you reached that "I don't know what I want the test to say" stage yet??? I really hope it comes up whichever way is best for you. Geez, you've got better self control than me though - I'd have tested AGES ago!!

[Sair]

Hi everyone!!! Happy Easter!!! Juz and I just got back from Toolondo with his parents at their shack which was great fun, it was nice to get away for a few days considering I have to work f/t over the next 2 weeks to cover someones shifts.

Not too much going on here, may not be able to participate in the KK because I leave for Canada in the first 2 weeks of May, if it happens before then, let me know and I will be up for it. Noah has had his 2 bottom teeth for a while now but now the top right front one is on its way and sleep is going nasty as a result. I hope it doesn't take too long to come through, the bottom ones took a week :S

It sounds like all of our little ones are growing up well and the 1st birthdays are just around the corner. Sometimes it only feels like about a month since my waters broke and I was on the way to the hospital to meet my little man and now he chats away and crawls around the house at full speed destroying everything he comes in contact with.

Sorry for the lack of personals, I have so much washing to do and I want to have the house spotless before tomorrow so my workload is less during the week, nothing worse than working and coming home to a pig sty!!! I just filled 5 rubbish bags for the op shop out of my closet and now to sort through the nasty pile of papers starting to fall out of my mess cupboard

Hope everyone had a great easter and I will try to catch up when I get a chance!!!

[Shellbelle]

Ha! Lulu, I know the suspense is killing me, but I think AF is on the way cause I feel a bit crampy and yuck - so may not need to worry anyway :-( I was actually anxious about it being + but secretly hoping it would be!! Will see what happens I spose!! Anyway I have to puit the kiddies to bed, will try to get back and catch up a bit!

[Beach Mama]

Oohhhh Shell - good luck today hun! Let us know how you go!

Sarah - I forgot about you going to Canada, maybe we can try to organise it early enough that you could be in it?? It would just mean you and your partner would have to be super organised I guess!! Let me know what you think!

Also people highlighted have told me they are interested! People not highlighted you may have told in me in the last thread but Im too lazy to go back so maybe PM me or just post in this thread!!

I checked the Baby Birthdays June list and couldn't see anyone I recognised from in here so I'm not sure if they aren't on there or if I'm just blind. Feel free to check it and let me know!

Wow- there were lots born in May too - I didn't realise! I guess I was too busy crying when all you ladies from May 1-16 were having your babies and I was left behind!!! JK!
Catch you all soon lovelies!

[sangie]

Shell - please go do a pg test NOW and let me know lol! Suspense is killing me, ha ha ok sorry I'm not the most patient person.

Tan you are such a superstar putting that list together! OMG there are more of us than I thought!

Hope everyone had a lovely easter, ok how much choccie did we all eat? I was a very good girl and barely had any, unlike last year where I was hugely pg and scoffed every easter egg and hot cross bun in sight lol! Sorry for the quick post, have to go and get some work done.

Catch up with you all soon!

[Shellbelle]

Sorry guys here.. (Lis you can go back and get some work done now!!!!) Thought I would let you know!!! Caused a bit of excitement around here for a bit!!!! Oh well, I really want another, but not so soon anyway!! I am still a bit disappointed though! Better let DH know, he was so worried!! His thinking was omg we need to get a new car etc etc!!!

Good list there Tan!! I am impressed!!! I am excited about shopping for someone elses little one!! Will be great sharing the excitment of 1st birthdays with all you guys!!!

[lee75]

Hey Tan
I'm interested in doing the birthday KK
Chat soon to everyone

[LuluHB]

Oh sorry Shell. Still, good news is that you can have a bit more time to enjoy Angus before having to take on another little poppet and who knows, maybe you'll even get some time to yourself in there!

[Beach Mama]

Aw Shell - hope you are ok hun...even though it was unexpected you still have that tiny bit of hope sometimes....
Ive updated the list now - so Im just waiting to see if Ash would like to join in, if anyone has contact with her could you check please! I know she hasn't been around here for a while. As for the ones that haven't been on for ages, I think I will finalise the names etc by the 4th April- how does that sound? That will give us all enough time won't it?????

Ok Im off - I have my NT scan today - wish me luck, Im so d!mn nervous it is ridiculous really.
Will let you all know how we go.
