From what I could find on Friday, there arent many FD carers in my area, and the ones that are close are full.
There should be a coordinator's office that's responsible for your area. Contact them as they have all the carers on their books. They *always* say they're full and there's a huge waiting list, but the reality is it's easier to place one child than a whole family, and if you are already working and need a place you will get top priority.

Arte, we've just opened our box of crawlers (BTW I found where they keep the spares at Woollies, will go straight there next time they're on sale LOL) but plenty of room left in them yet. Bugger about your open, I hope you get a much more enthusiastic turn out next weekend! It only takes one couple to fall in love with your home and it'll all turn out well.

Noni, I thought about giving it another go with Alister when he was about 8wks to see if I could even get milk, but I just do not have the time to give to it. I know that might seem a little selfish
Wow, I can't see there's anything selfish about that, if anything just the opposite. Being a mum is a constant juggling act and often means giving away things you want (for yourself, for your family) for the good of the whole. Not always easy, is it? xx Sorry you got rain when it wasn't wanted!

Noni, did the pest treatment work - I hope you're feeling better soon. Maybe you could try Ash on the BB after she's been playing for a while after her previous feed - not so long she's really tired but long enough to be happy and relaxed and ready for more cuddles, KWIM?

Big shout out to Queenie - I suspect you're reading not posting.

OK well I admit I've been doing a bit of soul searching along the lines of am I really ok with having no more children? After DD1's birth I was so shellshocked & it seemed so hard, this time everything's cruisy and for the first time I understand why ppl go back to TTCing when baby is so young. Plus is E is so delicious it's hard to not want another!! But I'm not really sure I want to put my body thru the rigours of another pg (it only gets worse with SPD). I know I'm feeling this way right now cos I'm chock full of prolaction (the clucky hormone), but I am seriously considering what life with 3 and not 2 children might be like...
