Did everyone get the email from Kelly about saving space in these forums? I think we should all stop using emoticons - I know they're cute and I've been known to add heaps into my postings, but I guess we can live without them if it makes it easier for BellyBelly to keep operating as we love it!

Kazzy - we got our baby bonus in the bank about 10 days after submitting form. That was just before Christmas so I don't know if that's the usual length or if they were busy... Great news about Eden!

It's stinking hot here today (37) and is just going to get worse... Sat 38 and Sun 39. Our air con is working overtime and the house is still 29 degrees. Yuk! I wanted to go shoe shopping today (I have an interview on Monday for very part-time work) but it's simply too hot to drag poor Dylan around so we're staying in.

Dylan has now nearly doubled his birth weight -he's 7.06 kg and 64.5 cm long.
