Hi Ladies!

Oh Gracie it sounds soo nice where you live! I would love something like that! we went to the royal bot. gardens yesterday and I swear that it took 15 minutes just to cross the road!! I guess I have become a bit 'country bumpkiny' while living in canberra - i just enjoy not having to fight with a thousand other ppl to go somewhere!

Katie I am green with envy of your weekend! it sounds really nice (shopping and friends - what more could a girl ask for LOL!!)

Agnes: LOL at the *map*!

hope everyone has a splendifirous day!

I've tested and I'm in the clear, woo hoo!! Seeing the blue pregnancy boobies got me really worried. Its gone now though so its strange. I wont be 100% confident though until I get my period, with Maddie I did a preg test early on and it didnt show up, then a couple of days later I did it again and got a positive. However I think its safe to say I'm in the clear this time.....

yay Hayley. I bet AF arrives in the next day or two (if not today). I remember when we were trying and I would test and then get AF, once I peed on the stick then wiped and what do you know there she was lol.

[Isadora]

Always the way! I'll be nervous until it arrives.

Agnes here's some infor for you about reflux. It was the best info I could find all in the one place. Thanks for the article, I'm still not convinced tho LOL!

Wow Haley, I feel sheepish after my bun in the oven joke the other day! BTW it was SupaB from our bellybuddies thread who was on Mcleods (as an extra in a preggy exercise class lol). Yep I've read a couple of Picoult's books, they're always really good but a bit confronting (there's always some social taboo in there somewhere). OK< i'm going to do a counter recommendation - Elizabeth Berg. She's suuuuch a good writer, they don't take a long time to read but really gripping stories, KWIM? BTW Picoult's going to be at the local Dymocks doing a book signing in May!

Pregpan, I'm with Arte, E : eat my thighs not my brain LOL! Glad you're happier with the FDC place, it takes them a while to settle in but he'll be happy as larry there before you know it. Wow at the mother's help, I never knew there was such a thing and now I want one!

Noni, congrats on your loss. I think I read the BB was for up to 9kg?? Anyway she's heavy enough that it's just really uncomfy now. BTW yes I think you're crazy for the cloth nappies LOL - but it's a good thing. I just couldn't do it right now.

BTW the vaccinations-autism link - as far as I can make out - is from a particular component in the MMR that was used for a long time in the US. I quizzed the MACH nurses and it's not in the one that's given here and hasn't been for a long time. I also noticed they've changed the schedule since the MMR used to be given at 18 mths - which is when the first signs of autism often become apparent developmentally. They've now moved it forwards to 12mths and I wonder if that's to separate them out or whether it's because measles is more prevalent now so they have to be done earlier.

Gracie, I haven't used the ergo a lot cos I really need the extension strap (had it on the first day right up around my kidneys oww but it was still comfier than the BB). DH has worn it a number of times and loves it too. At first he was not fussed because it doesn't have the forward facing but he's realised it's better keeping the telescopic arms out of reach anyway LOL. I hear you on understanding books too. I've started reading chick lit which I *never* read before (brain candy LOL).

Katie, definitely start reading again now or you'll just always be too busy and you'll stop reading altogether. After H was born i only ever had time to read for information (ie nonfiction only) and I will never forget the day I finally picked up a novel and devoured it in about 3 sittings - it was Cold Mountain. That was the start of me reading novels again and I'm so glad I did. I will love that book forever!
