Good morning everyone.

Hope you all had a festive/relaxing Australia Day.

kaz - you poor thing. I remember how uncomfortable those last few months were and given your complications can only imagine how much pain you must be in. I'll keep my eyes peeled for a BA towards the end of this week. Hang in there tho....
nick - I got my education over and done with before kids, but know at some point in the future I need to do more. I take my hat off to anyone studying, working and raising a family. Definitely need to be a superwoman. What kind of work are you looking for?
Mo - I know M will love daycare.
Willow - we've had a few daytime sleeps where L has kept getting out of bed. In one funny incident I looked down the hall towards his room and couldn't see him but the giant truck outside his door was magically moving into his room. L is a very loud walker so I know when he is up and about. L could have stayed in his cot for ages yet but because of M he needed to move up.
Julia - as an expat how did you celebrate Australia Day?
becky - thanks for the long and newsy post. In answer to your questions I'm well as are my 2. L is such a little boy now and loves playing with his train set and his trucks and cars. M is a lovely little girl. She doesn't like to sleep all that much but once she is fed she's generally very happy. It does make it hard to get anything else done as I need to occupy her almost every minute of the day, but thats my job for the time being. Yes, going back to work in 2 months time. DH is talking about taking time off once I go back to look after M. So coping pretty well with 2 kids. L is in daycare 4 days a week and DH is at home on the weekends so it is really only 1 day that I have to look after both of them by myself and thats my MG day so have other Mums to help me out. Good to hear that you and your kiddies are well. Your brave going for a third. The jury's still out on that one for me......
Hi to everyone else. Stop lurking and come and say hi.

Anyway M is screaming and needs to put settled for a nap. BBL
