Hello everyone!

After almost a month of living in a caravan/annexe, we're home and back to normal life. Craig starts Play School again tomorrow and I get back on to harassing my local childcare centre for places. I'm not due back to work until May, but I'm worried that they won't get the boys in even though I've been on the list since I was pregnant with Ryan.

Willow - :OMG: What a week! Hope you're all OK and that things have settled down. Poor DS2, but YAY for getting his driver's licence. At least it's cooler today, but I hope they come and fix your a/c soon, that's awful! And with your car out of action I can't even say to you to pop over to our place.

Brussels - Congratulations on another pink bundle!!!
Hope Eva is feeling better soon. That's the drawback of childcare, but at least you know she will probably have it all out of her system before she starts school. How exciting that you're feeling flutters and that your Mum and Sister are visiting soon! Good luck with wrapping up the business. Don't wear yourself out. Sounds like you deserve a break.

Kanda - Good luck with your 12 week challenge! That's awesome! I haven't used the Michelle Bridges 12 week challenge but I bet it's good. I did one here on BB (it was a thread in the health forum) and I signed up online for dietclub at the same time which was also a 12 week thing. Hope you find a house soon.

Lani - Glad to hear that you and Jett are doing better and that you got some time away. The dog bite must've been scary, poor Jett! Sorry, I don't know much about the Hylands tablets but I did see a thread on a forum somewhere that they had been recalled in the US last year.

Alison - I was just thinking how great it is that no matter what one of us is experiencing there is always at least one other of us that has been through something similar. Not that I would wish bad things on any of us, but I am grateful that you've had the right words for Lani, you're a good mate Ali

Beany - That's a shame that the weather wasn't nice for your holiday. Does Michael do swimming lessons? I found with both my boys that it was best to let them play at the waters edge and ease them in to the water, they both found waves a bit frightening at first and were freaked out by suddenly being dunked in to cold water up to their waists! But ease them in slowly and they loved it, now I can't keep either of them out of the water.

Rose - How's life treating you? Have you got a balance with your health and meds, I saw on fb the other day that you were needing painkillers. Liam is such a cutie, I love the photos and vids you post of him.

Tilda - No flutters yet, don't worry, is your placenta anterior? Maybe your little one is content and snoozing. And you're going to find out the sex? Very exciting! Matilda sounds like a clever little girl, they certainly know what's going on don't they?

Hannah - The latest photos of Amelia are just gorgeous! How's everything going with you?

Sesame - Haven't seen you back in here for a while but am hoping your place didn't get too wet with the recent flooding in Brissie.

Sydney girls - Are you game to try again for a Sydney meetup? Carmey? Lani? Tilda? Willow too if you're nuts enough like me to want to make the drive.

AFUS - Not much more happening in the walking department. Ryan will sometimes take 2 or 3 steps, but drops straight down on to his bottom. I've just bought a carrier off another BB member as I can see myself carrying this baby around for a while yet! Got a couple of kgs to shift after Xmas, but am otherwise pretty proud of myself for maintaining my weightloss. Still not preventing pregnancy here, but you girls will be the first to know if there are any changes in that department. Today I'm studying for my Boat Licence exam tonight, wish me luck!
