Laurin - are her teeth bothering her too? I reckon Riv got tonsillitis in the first place because he was teething, so for awhile there it was double trouble!

Great to hear from you Vix, like everyone else, your pregnancy seems to have flown! Unbelievable.
It is hard to keep up isn't it - if I'm struggling, I'll just post to the few people above me, and assume that they'll post to the people above them, and that way we'll all take care of each other - it's been a looooong time since I've gotten around to everyone!

Rach, I'd be a little surprised if your breastmilk was hindering your fertility - unless you're leaking heaps and heaps? Many people fall pregnant while breastfeeding, though I suppose anything is possible! If you've got such a good supply of milk, do you reckon you'll b/f your next one?

Great to hear that Helen's okay! Thanks for letting us know Shell. People do grow up quick don't they!! I think the girl across the road from m&d that I used to babysit might be 20? I was married at 20!! I just keep telling myself I was a young babysitter.

Hope you and Miss Goolia are well soon Belle.

Riv's been put to bed - I was trying to sort washing into baskets, and he kept liberating nappies from his basket. He was having a great time, but I wasn't in the mood for 2 steps forward, 1 step back - I'm too far behind in the washing for that!

I'm thinking I might have to go hang some of my whites out at m&d's, our clothesline's undercover, and I reckon the whites are looking a bit un-white! Will have to utilise the bleaching power of the sun!

Coby's coming over in about an hour, some of you old timers might remember she's my mate/birth support partner/student midwife who was there when Riv was born (he was her first live birth she attended), and she's gonna be there for this one too! Which is really lovely, but we haven't seen each other in ages, so it'll be nice to touch base, so she's not a stranger! Hopefully she'll be allowed to catch this baby, I'll have to ask.

Anyway...back to the washing...hehe, I'm always on here when I'm avoiding work!

Big hello to everyone else!
