Ok, now that I have got in first, time for the post.

Welcome Francesca. Look forward to getting to know you and little Ryan.

Trish - you really are going through a rough patch, poor thing. Its nice that your sister can take Joel off your hands. Nothing worse than having 3 sick boys to look after.
Amber - poor you. Glad Myles wasn't hurt. Have to admit I have the habit of leaving L on the bed while I turn my back for a minute. DH is always telling me off. Happy 6 months for Myles tomorrow.
Julia - I am all for across the board paid mat leave. I received 12 weeks at full pay which I was able to take at half pay and therefore had double the leave. It has just made the whole process a lot less stressful IYKWIM. It is against the law for anyone to be asked questions relating to their parental status or intentions. I know that it still happens out there but it shouldn't. Those neanderthal employers out there need have a reality check or they won't get good staff. *steps off the soapbox*

Anyway, heaps more to post but L has woken up from a marathon sleep, DH is dressed and ready to go car seat shopping.
