Nic when you off to NZ, I went there in September last year and it was so cold but lovely as well wrap up warm.
Eirn, yea its great seeing those first steps, well done Emily
Kerry you poor thing, I hope you do get some rest, Cant wait to see Matthew pictures after his hair cut.
missymoo glad Ashton back on the boob, stupid doctor lol, whoo hoo on your new relationship you deserve some happiness now. oh I read your blog and I think your amazing there is so much love their for your boys and they are beautiful, be very very proud of your self they look so happy
Hi girls.... Just quickly popping in to let you know that I will be back next week. Leaving in the morning and am about to head off to bed.... so tired, it's hard work packing, especially for a baby, seems as though she has more stuff than me LOL..
Niamh thanks so much I really try with my boys and I do love them soooo much. I'm always hoping it shows
News here alright!! Firstly Ashton isn't here He is with Dave This is his 2nd weekend away, he left yesterday morning and I miss him sooooooo much but he wont be home until 3-4pm I am so happy that Dave is finally having something to do wtih him
Moving up here was the best thing I have ever done. The older boys get to see their daddy more, they are loving their new school/prekinda and all our activities. It is so very beautiful up here. Last night I went and visited the Fairy Penguins which are only a 5 minute drive from my house. They are so beautiful.
Well it's official, Jamie told his ex, his mum, and my ex (who happens to be his bestfriend lol) and no not all parties were happy but it made me happy that he was willing to tell everyone and risk upsetting people. I am so happy with him. Fingers crossed it stays that way. His ex is being a witch, using his boys (5 years and 20 months) against him
Ashton is doing wonderfully! He is walking a lot more. He is still a bit scared on the floor boards since he's had a couple of boo boos so will mainly walk on carpet I let him out the front yard the other day for the first time, we sat on the grass and he played and crawled and tried to eat everything. We finally had some nice weather so that was really nice!!
Still only 2 toothy pegs, waiting for the teething to start again which I am dreading! He has been soo sooooo soooooooooo happy lately!
He is sleeping through the night now. Can't remember if I posted it but he goes down at 6.30 and sleeps till 7.30! Yesterday I had to wake him up at 8am!!
He is also totally weaned from the bottles!! I thought he was then we went backwards a little and he was having night bottles, now it's all booby. I hope after a night at Daves with bottles he doesn't want it when he gets home...
Oh how this 1st Birthday has snuck up! It's gone so fast! I have decided on a small gift this year for Ashton. Usually birthday are overboard in this house, but due to $ and space issues he will only be getting a couple of usefull things. I have chosen to get some wooden trucks/cars etc. He loves to push cars around all day, makes the brrrr noise lol So I think it's something he will really enjoy!
Hope all the bubbas and mummas are well. I can't believe it's almost been a year!!
Wow it seems like ages since I've been on here. I have a lot to catch up on.
Donna, sorry to hear about your mum, Hope you are doing ok.
Pam, Congratulations!!!!!!!
This are going well here, I just seem so busy all the time. Ashlyn is doing really well, she's developing such a funny sense of humour. She's not walking yet, I think it's because she tries to move to fast all the time. She doesn't know how to just slowly try things out, she's an all or nothing king of girl, lol.
Anyway, I'll try and catch up again soon for some personals.
Donna so sorry about your mum, I hope she was peacefull well done on Molly crawling, Poppy is just starting to get the hang of it in afew days she will be off (maybe!!!) Thanks for the clothes offer, will have to find out if its aboy or girl??

Kerry so great to see you...Not long till holidays..Don't be too hard on yourself being a single mum is hard work +full time work, Matthew is well looked after and the time you have with him is quailty time.. Yes please to the doppler, I will wait a bit longer and make sure all is okay before i get you to send it out.. I promise to send it back in good order, thnks so much for the offer.

Have a great holiday Sue you deserve it!!
I missed heaps of you sorry, hope all is well and will catch up next time.
ME UPDATE: I have been having regular testing HCG, progesterone etc, but because I had the US I skipped a test so it was a week later before I got it done, only t find my progesterone levels had started to drop dramatically (still high, but not good to drop that fast) my HCG is stil good but I have started to have more blood which is why I went for the BT. So my GP told me to go the emergency and hopefully they could prescibed progesterone pessaries for me, so in I go Sat 5am did'nt get out until 2.30pm with no pessaries???? the OB on call iddi'nt want to see me and tld me to come back Monday????
Thankfully Monday he did prescribe them, but would'nt ring the script through so I had to drive to Melb to get them!!!!! So now is the waiting game.. I have another US in 2 weeks time to check bubs is growing well and BTs to check all my levels are still rising, it's drivin me insane.. I am so nervous and stressed.. why did I do this to myslef??? we should have made sure it did'nt happen.... ???? birth control I think they call it??...Pam.
Pam, your very welcome delighted you liked it, I thought the bag was so cute, plus it was better value for money than wrapping paper would you believe plus i loved the detail really girly.
Ive read about low progesterone affecting pregnancies and causing bleeding before, what levels were they at, the suppositories swill work but the main thing is not to let it stress you I know that is not easy, but take it easy as much as you can. check out low progesterone in pregnancy .com they have people stories of positive out comes of using progesterone the first 3 months. Im sure you will get loads of information here as well but sending you big hugs and love that all will be ok.
missymoo84, it does show they are lovely boys, oooh how exciting for you, i hope his ex sees sense soon though. good luck with your new romance! I hope you didnt miss Ashton to much
captain, hello good to see you
me Eireann is getting better and better at walking, She is not well to day though high temp and only mammy will do. might have to bring her to the doctor tomorrow.
heylooooooooooooo lovely ladies!! Wow what a week for weather hey!! Someone send the hot this way, I'm freezing! Been windy and wet ALL day... yuck! Ashton hates it, he's been more cranky than normal. He's started drooling again so maybe more teeth? He still only has 4 lol
Can't believe our bubbas are nearly 1 (or have passed it already!)... sooo sad
more bubbas? Well I want another one. Just one more. But not for a while... still way to early for that and don't want to be rushing things
Pam hope your feeling better but found this information I have been trying to regulate my cycles and get healthier and was taking evening primrose oil and I was taking it the whole way through my cycle and you are not meant to as it causes womb contractions which I was wondering what the hell was wrong with me but any way it is good to take at the end stages of pregnancy here is some information on it
Naturally inducing labor: benefits and drawbacks of evening primrose
This article explains the usage of evening primrose oil to induce labor, what evening primrose oil does, and how it should be used.

Pregnancy can be a joyous and exciting time for a woman, but it can also be a time of uncertainty. Most women have experienced the feeling of wondering if they would actually be pregnant forever. When a due date is approaching or has gone by without any signs of labor, doubts can form in a woman’s mind, especially when her doctor or midwife starts talking about inducing labor. Inducing labor using modern methods such as Pitocin is very common today, but some women prefer to try out a few natural methods before resorting to more invasive practices. There are many herbal methods thought to help bring on and enhance labor, as well as a few folk methods such as taking a bumpy ride in a car or eating spicy foods.
Evening primrose oil is a commonly used method of naturally preparing the body for labor. It does not directly induce labor, as commonly believed. Evening primrose oil acts as a prostaglandin, which ripens and softens the cervix. The ripening of the cervix can help the baby’s head engage deeper into the pelvis, which can help with dilation. Ripening the cervix can cause some of the contractions that start labor. Sometimes, though, these contractions are simply Braxton-Hicks contractions, which help prepare the body for labor, but do not mean you are in active labor yet. Ripening the cervix can help trigger the onset of labor, but it is unlikely that evening primrose oil will bring on labor in a woman whose body is not otherwise ready. Even if you end up having to induce labor, using evening primrose oil in the days and weeks prior to induction can still be beneficial. When the cervix has been ripened and softened, induction has a much higher rate of being successful. The ripening of the cervix may even aid in making labor faster and easier.
Evening primrose oil is a less invasive method of triggering labor, so it can be used earlier in the pregnancy than some other methods. As soon as 34 weeks, evening primrose oil can be taken orally. It is generally recommended to take two 500mg capsules a day until 38 weeks. At that time usage can be increased to 3-4 capsules per day. An entire capsule can also be inserted vaginally. It is best to do this before bed, so the capsule can dissolve while you sleep. You can also use the oil during perineal massage, and massage it on the cervix as well. Applying the oil directly to the cervix will produce the best results, but the ingredients in evening primrose oil can also be absorbed through the external skin or stomach.
The body can be stubborn, and even when using all the natural methods of inducing labor that are available, you still may not go into labor right away. The most important thing you can do is relax, since stress itself can delay or even stall your labor. Unless there is a medical reason to worry, don’t be concerned if your due date has come and gone. Even if it doesn’t seem like it, your body and your baby are preparing for labor to begin.
wish I knew all that before I had Eireann LOL one thing stands out though Stress can delay labour. wish I was there now to get you away and chill you out hope that information is some what help ful for you take care xx
well done Emily
they look so happy
He is with Dave 
Hope you are doing ok.
well done on Molly crawling, Poppy is just starting to get the hang of it in afew days she will be off (maybe!!!) Thanks for the clothes offer, will have to find out if its aboy or girl??
