Woo hoo Sarah. Congratulations. Like the others have said, try not to worry about the spotting. I had bleeding on and off for about the first 20 weeks with Izzy.

Lis - good luck with the cow's milk. Hopefully she'll take to it really easily. And that's brilliant Elena's eating so well. Izzy is being so incredibly fussy at the moment (has been for about a month). I think she's actually surviving on fresh air and 3 bottles a day.

Tan - the toys are a nightmare aren't they. We have a HUGE toy box that Rein built for Izzy that lives in one corner of the family room and has about half her toys. The other half are rotated into a basket that she can pick and choose from. Also on the floor I have a play mat, an inflatable ball pit that is constantly up, a rocking horse and a big dragon thing that she shoves balls into. Add to that now is Elena's playpen, bouncer and play mat. My house constantly looks like a disaster zone during the day but I have just learned to put my OCD tendencies aside until Izzy is in bed for the night, when it all gets tidied away.

Shell - your poor beautiful boy. Crossing everything the lurgy has run its course and he can start getting back to his normal bouncy self.

Kelly - Izzy had a horrible reaction to her needles too. 2.5 weeks later she still has the little measles-like spots all over her little body and she's still very tired. I hope Luke gets better soon.

Had a very long night with Elena feeding heaps last night so today I am sooooo tired. I have to venture out soon to get a birthday card and present for a girlfriend for tomorrow. Not looking forward to it much - its a horrible day here today with really strong winds and lots of rain and Izzy is very unhappy about shopping these days. After about 15 minutes in the pram she's already had enough and is starting to throw tanties. She's having a ball now though - tipping up her ball pit and then crawling underneath it. She's already pulleld the dragon apart so I'd better go and entertain her before she starts on the tv and dvd player!

Lulu - Luke just got one of the inflatable ball pits for his birthday and its the BEST thing EVER!!!! He loves it sooo much, its fantastic!! Wasn't the weather crappy here today, I hope you managed to venture out in the small window of sunshine!! I had to work today, but thankfully the sun was out when I ducked down the road to grab a sandwich!!

Sorry for the lack of personals, I'm still trying to get my head around the sudden return to BB. Its not easy!! We had a rough night last night too. Just as DH was about to give Luke his bottle before bed, he did a MASSIVE vomit all over himself and DH. My poor little man - it was EVERYWHERE. He wan't himself yesterday and hardly ate anything, so I wasn't surprised. Poor DH wore it all though!! Anyway we finally got Luke down (but he wouldn't take his bottle) and he woke 4 or 5 times. We ended up giving him a bottle at 5am. Not nice. I had to work today too - which wasn't easy after very little sleep. I'm really tired tonight! Hopefully we'll have a better night. Luke's still not quite himself but he had two massive sleeps for my Mum, so fingers crossed he's on the mend. Not sure if it was just a reaction to the needles or a reaction to the cows milk as I gave him a bottle of cows milk just after lunch. Would it take that long to react with him - I would of though if it was the milk, it would happen a lot quicker?? Not sure though. I'll wait a day or so, then try it again and see what happens.

Well must go, I need to lie in front of the telly for a while and then get to bed early for once!!! Take care.
