Chepie, I really hope that your TTC journey is short and sweet when you decide to start travelling it. It's very daunting to think taking that step to have #2. I remember the day I did the pg test with my second as soon as the positive showed up I said "****! I'm not ready for this" LOL. But it's all good.

Cindy, I wanted to ask how did J go with choosing a photographer for your wedding? He's a photographer himself isn't he? (or did I remember that wrong?)

Renee, glad to hear that Rory is well again.

Noni, I think Asha's diet is fine. If she isn't hungry she wont eat it. Besides she could do this now and in another year she will be living on fresh air alone LOL

Well, 6 years ago today (at 7.50am to be exact) I gave birth to my second child, Erin Kathleen, she weighed 8lbs, 8ozs and entered this world with a hearty cry (and didn't really stop for the next four months LOL) and her arms open, ready to embrace the world. Now she's 6 going on 16 She tried to put one over me today though saying that her belly was sore and she couldn't go to school She must think I was born yesterday LOL. I told her if she didn't go the other kid in her class who shares a birthday with her would get all the birthday wishes

And My new oven is working beautifully! I have yet to cook in it (am about to make a cake for Erin) but the inquisitive Master A is going to have to learn the hard way I think that ovens are hot because we had it on earlier to test it and the first thing he did was put his face on the glass to have a look in there and he kept going back whenever I moved him away.

And Leanne, the washing machine take2 LOL is going great so far.

And yes, we will all get $1000 per child just in time for Christmas to keep Mr Rudd happy by boosting the economy As much as I don't agree with the payment in principal, I certainly wont refuse $4k.
