Nae - OMG I am so.... happy for you. I just knew that Niki was sending a little angel down for you to take care of! I am so glad that all your dreams are about to come true. And in 9 months you'll be able to tell your bub about their big sister who's watching over them as their guardian angel! You're gonna be the best mum.
Emme too is cutting those teeth even more ferociously now, and has had the red bum to prove it!!! Also the reflux is getting worse even with the anti-refux formula, as it's even more acidic and you can tell that she is hating the taste when it comes up. I'm going to make a normal doctors appointment as well as an appointment for her immunisation next week.
Niamh - you are able to refuse to give the car back if you have been giving them payments already that are able to be verified. If you have not missed a payment then they have no legal reason to go back on your agreement and they do have to pay you back your rego if you agree to give the car back. You can sue them to ge it back and not only would they have to give it back they would also have to pay court costs. Call & have a chat to the Legal Aid line( I'm sure it's Australia wide). I think it's time these people got some of their "friendliness" given back to them. I also think it's NOT a coincidence that they waited till after the rego was paid till they asked for it back.

As for me well times are good and times are bad.
Around xmas & new year I thought my ex and i were going to move back in together and give it another go, but when I mentioned I was going to go looking for houses it was as though he'd totally taken himself out of the picture of us all being together. Then I mentioned that the 1 bedroom granny flat at his parents really isn't suitable for 2 kids to be in especially as Emme is already commando crawling and there's no room in there, so he would have to start looking for something else for himself anyway, and he starts telling me that I'm being offensive to him and he's not putting up with it. Anyway I told him no I wasn't being offensive, just realistic about the kids as they need room.
Anyway he asked me to leave and so I'm not going up there again as I will never be put in that position of being asked to leave a second time!
I actually think he really wants to live with his mum & dad for as long as possible as he pays no rent & they buy his meals and even cook them for him. Last week when I opened his fridge it had cartons of 3 different types of beer, but no food in it, just some frozen mini pizzas in the freezer for Bella. I mean as I said to him he has to start acting like a responsible father as his mum & dad are not their parents - he is. And he has to start cutting down on luxuries like alcohol & start buying stuff for the kids. In the 11 months since we've been seperated he has not bought 1 car seat for them instead he was just borrowing mine, as well as the pram. So he has been living off everyone else and then buying tons of alcohol & cigarettes. I just wonder if I should just give up, because even if I do love him I wonder if he could ever change and become a responsible partner & father. A fridge full of just beer might be hilarious if your a 18 yr old single guy, but to me it just seems pathetic for a 37 yr old father of 2.
Anyway enough about me it's just too depressing.

I hope all your bubs are making this the start of the best year ever!
All our love,
Natalie, Bella & Emme!
