Donna, I'm so sorry. That must be so tough. Big hugs for you and the Moo.

Sorry I haven't been posting much lately. Have been lurking though and trying to keep up with everyone. Pam, hope you're not stressing too much. How wonderful to see that little twinkle of a heartbeat again. I still have my doppler, let me know if you'd like it and I'll bung it in the post to you. Don't worry about the weight, your body knows what it's doing and that's preparing a good home for the new bubba.

Erin, being back at work full time is really tough, I just never seem to catch up on anything. I'm fantasizing about taking tomorrow off, dropping Matthew to the sitters and coming home to have a good sleep. I won't do it though, because there's a group of kids at school that are counting on me turning up every day because I'm the facilitator for their team in a competition. I so need a good sleep though. I'm also missing being with Matthew. At times it feels like I've handed over that important job of bringing him up to someone else.

Suzie, hope you have a lovely time in NZ (Q. Where do cows go for their holidays? A. Moo Zealand...) Happy packing!

Candy Jay, sorry that Madeleine's been so sick, I hope the new lot of antibiotics does the trick. Matthew's on antibiotics too for a cough that's lingered now for more than four weeks. Thinking of getting a referral to see a paediatrician in case it's asthma.

Lauren, love the little green patterned skirt you made for Liberty, she looks so cute. Scary ambulance ride for her. I hope she's on the mend now.

Mel, woohoo on being happy with your new man And hurrah on being able to get Ashton resettled on the boobie. Stupid doctor!

Lee, lovely, lovely news about the scan. Hope you're really living it up and enjoying yourself in France. Make us all really jealous!!

Niamh, hahaha about Eireann and the sock pulling. Matthew's just the same. It's the hugest game for him. I've had to put slippers on over the top of his socks to keep them on him. Be all right, if it weren't winter!

I've organised an appointment for Matthew to have his first haircut on Saturday. Those of you on FB might have seen the pictures I've posted of his wild looks in the morning. Need to get the hair out of his eyes.

Must go, lots to do and I'm so very tired!
