saffi - a room thermometer is indispensable. i use mine every single day - actually every time i'm in there because i'm addicted to it. it's an infrared one that they use to figure out where insulation etc is needed. only problem is sometimes he's so quiet in there i might not do a last check at night and will find he's gotten cold. had to break out the ol' mittens last night.

catherine - so i did it. i bit the bullet and let Louis look up my hooha. says it's all looking happy. even committed to a smear. egads. cervix was hiding as usual. what fun getting it to come out to play... sigh. *eyeroll*. the big fella is going great guns. cracked the 6kg mark and is 60cms long. i just hope the speedy growth thing chills out so he's not a gigantor around the other kids when he starts school.

in other news... i feel abandoned.... *sings* "movin' to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches" i can't believe you're leaving already!

briz tribe... what is the proposed time for the garden city meetup? i may be able to swing it.

nickers - congrats on the weight loss. that's fairly legendary, i must say.

petachristy - did you sell the pump? i do want it if you didn't already get rid of it. i saw the hospital grade one for hire at the chemist and it freaked me out, looked like a giant air compressor. how boogedy. so... if you wanna sell, i wanna buy.
