Hi ladies, I'm so proud of myself, I've got a bun in the oven...!

Well, actually it's not a bun really, it's a loaf (LOL) but it's one of the first times I've been organised enough to get into the kitchen in the daytime to bake so it's a little MD milestone there.

Leafy Leigh, welcome! *snap* on the 9 yo older sibling, I have a DD who's 9 and I agree it's surprising how much you forget. I guess on the positive side I've got more perspective now, I know how brief those early intensive labour baby years are, so it's much easier to cope when the going's a bit tough! It gets pretty chatty in here so make sure you jump right in when you can!

Clare, yep, the delights of the nation's capital...LOL. We've been up to Sydeneee a few times, as we have friends in the Gong so we spend the arvo/evening with them and then come home. I just get a bit rattled if the traffic's heavy. That's funny about the colour of your ergo, I quite like the black and green but ABA didn't have them (I didn't even think about going into Fyshwick LOL) so I've got the cranberry. I'm just happy to have one before DH leaves next week.

BTW, I love the taggies and am thinking of making one for Elisabeth, it'd take all of a shopping trip to Lincraft and an hour's sewing...I can do that!

Pregpan, lovely photos of Noah!

Sherie LOL at A's dismount! Still no forward movement at hte Betty Station...goes backwards pretty efficiently though. She seems more settled during the day now, though (hence my baking). I wonder how much the solids is contributing to this. Fingers crossed this is the start of a good trend.
