Lani, good to hear from you and I am glad to see you are getting some time away with Jett.... for the dog bite! Poor little thing, but this is how they learn - A day does not pass when Eva does not have some kind of injury these days....I had a scare with our dog when Eva started crawling where she snapped near her face but now she is used to her - I was scared to have to give her away! I make Eva feed her often and pet her gently which helps. I hope it was nothing too serious. Is everything going ok otherwise? Are you still living with your parents?
Kanda, I am excited to have sisters in the house - I am super close to my sister and hope Eva and baby#2 have the same sort of relationship - it can be rocky during the teen years when we want to be independent but I know they will love each other very deeply. As for clothes, I am going to save a ton of money since I am really a nutty shopper (hmm hmm Alison..lol) and I just have to buy a few little things like bodysuits and a few summer items since the season is very different this time, but for everything else, I have ALL I need. I am actually quite happy about the clothes thing because there are a lot of things that Eva got very little wear out of and I will be able to enjoy again. I have already pulled out the 0-1 month clothes to prepare for the birth and see what I need to buy (my mother and sister are coming next weekend from the Us so I wanted to order some stuff before they head over) and I am happy to see I barely needed things...I picked up a few cute summer rompers because Eva only had warm sweaters and stuff, but for the rest I am set! It is coming really soon!!!! Enjoy this time living with the parents - it is a nice situation temporarily especially if you get along well. I am sure they are enjoying having the babies at home too. Good luck on the house hunt!
Beany, I saw pics from the trip - looked greyish but it still looked like a nice time away Michael is just so cute!!!!!!
Alison, how is your fitness kick going?
Everything here is cool. Eva is doing well and I hope she does not catch anything before my mother and sister get here (they are flying 8 hours for three days here!!!!) - if I get even a hint of a cough I am keeping her home until this WE! She is just getting so big and walking around the house bumping her head on everything - it is like she does not see furniture above eye level She is chatting away constantly and only wants to feed herself (messsssssssssssy!). We are going to put her high chair trayless at the big table now.
I am starting to feel more movement in the belly now - still flutters and the like, but getting stronger! I have to see the doc every two weeks because of complicated pregnancy with my cerclage, but at least I get a sonogram every two weeks. Baby is getting bigger with every visit!
We are now working on names...I have a middle name chosen after my late cousin who died when I was 5 months pregnant with Eva - I was very close to him and he was only 23. It will be a feminine version of his name so prob Arielle or Ariella (depending on the first name we choose....)...I am liking Stella, Chloe, Lila, Naomi maybe - I don't know...I am not 100% on any of them...Stella seems to be the fave for the moment because both DH and I like it and it was a name we were choosing between with Eva...we'll see...
Hi to everyone else...I am following pics on FB when they are posted and I miss you all!
Brussels - wow, movement!! No movement here yet. I'm only 15 weeks though and I remember it was ages before I felt much last time too. You must be counting down until you see your sister and mum. I wish they could stay longer for you though.
Hi girls, sorry no perssies tonight I'll come back when I get some time later. I'm here for a purely selfish whinge and vent.
It's been a bit of crap week here.
Our modem broke last week so we've had no internet, which drives me and the boys nuts, we finally got back on line today.
DP's car is off the road too and still at the mechanics, which means we're picking each other up and dropping off or I'm stuck home with no car when I'm not at work and getting that caged animal feeling.
Our new air con has been leaking and we noticed the skirting board under it is growing black mould and coming away from the wall, so we're sweating and uncomfortable with out it while we're having 34, 37 & 38 degree days. They are supposed to be coming today(which is over now) or tomorrow to fix it.
DS2 had his driving test yesterday, and passed Which is great, it means no more 2, 3, 4 ,5, 6am pick ups from work, he can drive himself! But after his test we were leaving the car park and the car in front of us pulled into a car space, then all of a sudden jumped the curb flew over the median strip and ran down two ladies walking into the motor registry. It was the most horrific thing I've ever seen. One lady was kind of ok and got up, but her elderly mother was dragged for a bit. A man got to her before me and started CPR, the driver of the car helped him, they got her back before the ambulance got there but she is still critical. Completely freaked DS out, he's never seen anything like that either and was really upset. We were there for a couple of hours after giving statements. So we went from being nervous about his test, to really happy and excited that he'd passed to completely traumatised all in the space of an hour
Lulu's passing was so so sad. I had had a little interaction with her on BB, and read her blog. She was a special person, even though I really didn't know her I was so sad to hear she had gone, and her sister only 9 days earlier. It really is a huge loss. I just hope her children and nephew can learn to cope quickly It is beyond my comprehension, how two seemingly healthy young women, sisters, can die from natural causes in the space of 9 days. It really doesn't seem fair at all.
Now I actually feel pretty selfish for complaining about my week, it could have been so much worse. I can only imagine what Lulu's family are going through.
Tilda, it feels like flutters, nothing super strong yet, but you should start feeling your bubbles soon ))) How are you feeling!?
Willow, what an awful experience with the ladies getting hit! He passed his test and got a lesson the hard way in the dangers of reckless driving - I just hope he does not stress too much every time he gets in a car...I hope everything else works out and gets back in order - you sound a bit worn out at the mo
Eva is sick AGAIN! Virus at daycare, 4 out of 20 kids are in today....she will be staying home with me until my mother leaves because she needs to get better for the weekend and I don't want to risk her being miserable when my mother and sister are here...
We stopped activity on our company so I have been drowning in work and bills and finishing everything up. It is sad to see 4 years of hard work ending and exciting to move on to new things, but DH and I are tired...we are going away for 5 days for Valentines day to rest and get massaged....I need it!
After this weekend I shoul dbe able to get on for a longer post. Sending my love to you all and love the new pics I'm seeing online - Hannah so nice to see Amelia's new pics up - it has been a while and she is so beautiful!
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!
Kanda - Just popping back in to say there's a thread on BB about the Michelle Bridges 12WBT: Michelle Bridges 12WBT
Lots of good comments from previous participants plus a few girls who are doing the one starting on 21st Feb. Good Luck, it sounds awesome!
Sorry about yesterdays really brief post - I replied to BS and then off course something happened and I thought well, I may as well post this.
Suz - A month at the caravan sounds so nice and escapist. Is it on the coast? I can't remember. Good idea about trying for another BB catch up in Sydney. I'm up for it. Everyone is welcome to come here. We have quite a bit of room now. And the kids can have a paddle in the paddle pool if its hot.
BS - Oh boo to Eva getting sick right before your family arrives. It always happens doesn't it. When ever I've got family due to come Matilda seems to get sick without fail. But hopefully she'll be over the worst of it by the time they get here.
Lani - the dog bite must have given you a real fright. It's impossible to protect them 100 per cent of the time. I'm glad Jett is settling for you a bit. That will make it easier for you.
Beany - Matilda gets a bit nervous around water too. But she's getting much more confident the more we go to the beach or the pool. Its hard to get there really often though isn't it!
Willow - what a shocker of a week!!! Seeing that accident must have taken the wind out of you both. But on the bright side, it will be fantastic having another driver in the family. I didn't have a huge amount to do with Lulu because I've mostly been haunting our baby buddies forum but how awful for her family to lose two sisters in such close succession. Unimaginable!
OK, better post this before someone comes and deletes it. Will back later to finish off. I'm off to look at a family day care place for Matilda today. I'm going to be asking everyone's advice about it. I'm feeling a bit guilty about considering it when I"m not working but with pregnancy and another newborn coming I"m not sure I'll keep up. Mostly I'm worried about Matilda getting sick a lot (she seems to catch everything) and learning negative behaviours. She is going through such a sweet phase at the moment I hate to think about her not sharing any more or starting to yell, bite or hit. Whenever we're out she'll often try and share something with another kid and get completely rebuffed and I worry that she might stop trying if she goes to daycare and the kids there aren't all that friendly or sharing. Anyway, I'd better go and change nappy and do lunch! Love you all!!
*BS* that is awesome that you are starting to get a few flutters, I remember that feeling like it was yesterday. BTW I love the name Lila (for reasons unknown!) and always get so many comments on it. (it was my grandmothers name and she was a monumentously fab lady)
*Suz* thanks for that link, it seams that there are a few who are into the 12 week challenge! Love to know that I am not the only one. I just want to loose that last 5 kilos, so I am looking forward to it. I have joined a gym too (in the city) and it is really cool (it has sleep pods!!!!) i would love to meet you all up to for the Sydney get together, although I do work a lot these days so it may end up a bit tricky!
*Willow* Far out! I have no idea how you guys must have felt to be involved with something so full on but I hope you are feeling a little better after your experience. Great news about your DH and his Drivers Licence & pleeeease try and stay out of that heat.. it was 42 on my way to work yesterday and just today I went to the local shopping centre and could not park at 9am!, everyone was there trying to stay out of the heat.
Lani, Seasame are you around? hope you are ok.
AFM we are TTC for our third little bubs but getting a bit depressed as it has taken longer and longer for each pregnancy.....but i have had a little spotting, bloating and cramping on and off and I am not due for AF for another week so.... but I don't want to get to hopeful as I have a couple of times and get quite sad when AF turns up, that really sucks.
Today is a really full on day at work. I am here till at least 1am aedt as we are doing rolling news coverage of the cyclone that is about to hit cairns.. heaven help all those people, it looks like it's going to get very very very brutal. Take care everyone. Big Hugs

Kanda - that cyclone looks too scary!! Sounds like you're going to have a late one. I hope this is the month for number 3!! I have to admit I'm reassured about having them so close when you're going for another one so soon after having the first two so close together. Do you get a lot of support from family? What do you think is the hardest bit?
AFUS - well we went and saw the family daycare place today. I have to be honest my heart pounded so hard I thought I was going to have a panic attack right there in front of this woman and my aunt who came along. I felt sick to the stomach afterwards. Waves of nausea, stomach pains. Argh! The woman seemed together (she's had six kids of her own!) and she managed the kids really well and made sure there wasn't any snatching or throwing or that sort of that thing. But here's the thing. I arrive and there's some guy lying on the dining room floor (apparently he'd just been on a drip - who was he?? and why had he just been on a drip??) And her husband was there having just got home from work at 2pm and seemed to be involved (he brought one child down from upstairs who had been asleep). The TV was on. I shouldn't judge this, because I have the TV on at times too, but when you're paying someone you don't sort of expect this. Also, the part of the house the kids are in is quite small and she doesn't take them out to the park during the day so I worry Matilda would go nuts. There was a back yard though. Another upside was that it was very clean. Also there was a child there that had left to go to normal daycare, was really unhappy, and had returned to her which sounded like a good sign. Matilda reacted pretty well and played with the toys and was quite a chatterbox. Sorry to go into so much detail but I'm so nervous about this. Any thoughts anyone? Am I just reacting to the idea of leaving her? Will I feel like this everywhere?
Tilda, It's no walk in the park, but worth every second. I can be really hard to juggle but when I come home from work or watch them learn and absorb I get so much out of it, I just can't wait to see what we can create next. I just love em to bits!
Tilda- Hopefully all is going ok with the pregnancy, movement wont be too far away i'm sure. You could have the anterior placenta which is cushioning the movements or a very placid and contented baby. I am sure what you felt with the day care is the fear of leaving Matilda with someone strange. I have Jett in Family Daycare and am very happy with it, he is happy to go off and very happy and contented. When I was looking for someone I was happy with I had a friend say to me "you will never be 100% happy with a carer as it is not you" and I feel that is so true, we as mum's feel we are the only ones that can give our little ones the best care. But it is life that one day they will need to be cared for by someone else day care, pre school then even the school teacher. See if you can meet with a few carers to make a judgement.
Willow- Hope things start to improve for you, not more bad things happening. Congrats to DS for passing his driving test but how terrible to see the accident. Hope the one that is critical makes a recovery.
BS- Poor Eva, hope she is feeling better soon. Enjoy your Mum & Sister's visit, I bet you will all have a great time.
Suz- How lovely to have had almost a month away, Any progress with Ryan's few steps?
Kanda- Wow all the best with TTC #3 this is the month that brings you good news. Hope you survived last night at work. The Cyclone seems that it hasn't hit as bad as they thought it would which is a relief I really feel for all the people there it would have been terrifying.
Ali- How are you adn little Millie going? Haven't heard from you so you may not be getting notifications again.
Also I have only heard thru you girls about Lulu. I didn't know her, but what happened?
It was very scary when Jett got the dog bite but luckily it wasn't too bad, I agree we can't wrap them in cotton wool and protect them from everything. I am doing ok. Jett has progressed to about 10 steps on his own, I can't wait to the little munchkin is walking everywhere.
I am happy for a Sydney catch up, would love to meet you girls. I don't work Tuesday's and Friday's and am free on most weekends too. I could swap a day at work if a Wednesday suited too. Hope we can arrange to meet up soon.
Tilda - I have Michael in Family Day Care too. The best advice I can give is to visit a few, that way you get a feel for the standard of care - there was such a difference between the two I visited. And I completely agree with Lani, doesn't matter who they are, they aren't you, so its natural to feel a little apprehension. I say go with your gut feel, and try to see a few.
Lani - oh gosh, poor Jett That must have been so scarey for you. Has the bite healed now? He's a little trooper! It won't be long before he's totally walking...Michael lasted about 3 days doing 10+ steps in a row, then it was full-steam ahead!
Kanda - Good look for TTC#3! How exciting! I hope you are able to catch up on some sleep soon...
Suz - sounds like you've had a wonderful time away! How did you go with your boat exam? Michael doesn't do swimming lessons, but its something I've been thinking of for the not-to-distant future. I think you're right, he just needs to play at the shore in the shallow water. I'll have to take him again to a more baby-friendly beach. Good luck wih finding daycare I've had 2 daycare centres call me in the last few weeks offering one day placement - we had been on their waiting list for nearly a year...how's that! Pffft. Good job I was able to find alternative care for him.
BS - oh no, sorry to hear little Eva is sick again, right when you didn't want her to be! (not that you ever want her to be sick...but YKWIM!) That sounds like a lovely getaway you have planned for Valentines, enjoy
Willow - oh my goodness, those poor ladies. That must have been very traumatising to have witnessed it also. what a horrible situation I hope they are recovering ok. Sounds like you're having a rough trot atm, I hope you can get your a/c fixed ASAP.
Alison - how is little Amelia? I saw on fb that she was quite sick, is she ok now?
Hello to all my other lovelies!
AFM - Michael has come down with a cold. Its been ages since he's had a cold. I just hope he doesn't start spewing after his bottle again...he usually does that when he has a cold. His walking is fantastic now, I need to get him some more walking shoes, but all the shops have the winter trainers in now and not so much summer shoes. Boo.
He's pretty much down to 1 sleep a day, tho he had 2 at daycare yesterday. He's also cutting 3 molars at the mo and I think thats affected his sleep...he keeps waking after 30 mins of his nap, crying. Sometimes he'll go off again, other times he won't. Poor monkey.
Grrr...my boss told me this week that I have to move desks cos they're getting a new staff member in my department, so now I have to move to the other side of the office, smack-bang in front of the CEO's office. Even tho he is lovely, I'm not happy about it. Hopefully it won't be for long as we're moving to West Perth later in the year.
Hi Lani - someone else said that about not being happy 100%, you're so right and I know I have to keep that in mind. I'll FB the other sydney girls and Suz about catching up and then let you know on BB (cause you're not on FB at the mo are you?).
Kanda - thanks I know I'll love having another one when it happens. It's just a bit scary!
Beany - great idea. I might call the Council and see if I can visit a few family day care places even if they're full just to compare. First job tomorrow!
AFUS - Sorry everyone I'm about to do a big vent. I just had the worst phone call with one of my aunts today. Basically she laid into me for about 20 minutes about how I'm an over protective, over attentive, over anxious mother and that I'm creating problems for Matilda and myself and that its going to be awful when the next baby comes along. Apparently I don't give Matilda any space and I've made her the centre of my universe so I don't even know how anxious I am. That's the seriously abbreviated version. It seriously went on and on and on. By the end of it I was in tears and losing my temper and I ended up hanging up on her because I could hardly speak. And she was really really pushy about the day care thing because it was her friend that recommended it. Part of what really annoys me is that she gets to say "see how upset and anxious you are?" but that's because she's pushing all my buttons at a really vulnerable time when I'm pregnant and trying to contemplate putting M in care for the first time. Anyway, better go and and do dinner.
Tilda...
All I want to say is tttttttttthhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh to your stupid aunt! what a inconciderate lady. I would have hung up on her long before you did. Don't listen to her, you know you r a wonderful mum and you really CARE for your babies. Maybe she just does not understand that. Big Hugs Babe...have a nice dinner
Hi Girls, sorry been missing in action, as you might have seen we have all been sick with a horrible tummy bug, Amelia had it on the weekend when I was alone, was horrible, she vomited and vomited - never done that before - the last time she had gastro it was just the other end. She's all good now though but then I got it Tuesday slightly and DH had it a little yesterday, we weren't as bad as Amelia though poor thing. Since she has been so clingy though and I think teeth are on the way, grrrr. I got myself a treadmill 3 weeks ago, weighed in for the first time this morning since and it put me at my pre pregnancy weight exactly! But....before you all go yay you, I think 2.3 kgs in 3 weeks is probably half real and half from not eating on Tuesday when I felt sick, but, either way I'm pretty bloomin close wahoooo!
Bum Amelia's awake gotta rush, but Tilda just quickly, ignore your Aunt, you have every right to feel the way you do, you do what makes you feel happiest and who cares about what anyone else thinks. Mum knows best!
xx
Beany - Thanks for asking, I passed my boat licence exam last night! Just have to do 3 trips in the boat and fill out my logbook and I can go and get my licence. Is your work place moving? That sux that you had to move desks.
Lani - Funny you should ask about Ryan's walking, after nothing more for ages today I caught him walking over to the table where Craig was playing with an electric keyboard. It was 4 steps and then 2 steps holding on to the table edge. Ah, baby steps! Sounds like Jett's a little more cautious too, but 10 steps is progress and he'll be running in no time!
Kanda - Hope you aren't too tired after such a long day at work yesterday covering TC Yasi.
Tilda - I was going to suggest you look at a few other FDC places before you accept that one. It sounds like an alternate carer that my lady organised for me when she was on holiday. The woman was a friend of my lady's but the house was exactly the same as you described: kids sat in a tiny dining room off the side of a kitchen all day with a few toys and a TV, not allowed in the yard because they couldn't close their side gates to prevent the kids from walking down the driveway on to the main road and a husband and son who were both there all the time and not working but involved with the kids. I hated it and Craig hated it too. Next time my lady took holidays I asked for a different carer and got a woman who had an enormous house where the kids had their own rumpus room and a nice safe secure yard they were allowed to play in. She also took the kids on outings, like my regular lady, which the other alternate carer didn't do. Sorry, big rant there, but I think you should go with your gut and there's something not quite right about that placement you've been offered. And I want to slap that Aunty of your's, how dare she!!!
Hi girls! I've left it so long since my last post, I know. I've kind of been avoiding this thread. It doesn't stop me thinking about you all and I do stop in to read from time to time. I can't really explain why I've been avoiding my girls...doesn't make sense after we've shared our pregnancies and our babies' first year. I guess it's too easy to measure myself against you all and find myself lacking. I know it probably sounds dramatic, but I feel I should be honest with you.
In some ways I'm doing really well. I've asked my friends for help (a VERY big deal for me) and they're taking turns this month to come and entertain Amelia on Sundays so I can get my house in order. I also met some Adelaide BB girls last weekend. It was great spending some time with other mums and I'm considering going to the next meetup.
In other ways I'm barely coping. I'm getting further and further behind and am waiting for someone to figure out I'm a fraud. I bring work home to try to catch up, but it isn't easy with constant interruptions. Then I get frustrated with Amelia when she isn't the problem. I think I really just don't want to work. We're getting an idea of what mum's estate is worth now and Simon is staying open to the idea of me staying home.
Also I had such high hopes for 2011 (I think a lot of people did) but there's been so much sadness and destruction. At times I wonder what is the point? willow, I'd only just started reading Lulu's blog. I wish I'd gotten to know her better. I remember when she gave me rep points once. I was so honoured. It was like being acknowledged by one of the cool kids at school Maybe it's because of Lulu's passing (as well as her sister, Lolli's DH plus TC Yasi and the floods) that I'm making an effort to form new IRL friendships and work on maintaining my existing ones.
Amelia still isn't walking independently. She can, she just doesn't know she can lol. But she is talking a lot now. Every other day she'll say a new word. Then again, sometimes it'll take me a day to figure out what she is actually saying. Night times have improved too. One of the Adelaide mummies I met suggested giving Amelai dinner while at daycare. That way I don't have to worry about it when we get home and we have playtime before her bath. This improved our evenings and she'll sleep for 3 hours without a peep before waking for a night feed. I also had a phone consultation with Pinky McKay to try and solve the night time play time. I try to be disciplined and go to bed before she wakes so that she doesn't wake fully and will go back to sleep. I got a shock when it worked the very first night. I have tried dream feeds on and off since the day she was born and she always woke afterwards anyway. I'm also letting her have a short second nap late in the afternoon and have pushed back her bedtime. Last night we were up again, but Amelia didn't seem herself. Then today I'd noticed her first molar is coming through.
Well I'd better get going and try to sneak into bed before she wakes. Will try to be around a bit more.
Hi Hannah I was just thinking about you this week how weird is that! Please don't feel bad, you are doing such a fab job of being a mum, we all have our struggles and brickwalls that we hit, it's just a normal part of being a mum I think. Never question how you're doing because you're doing great. I love your pics you put up on FB, Amelia is such a gorgeous little girl and I love that our girls share a birthday AND name I rarely get on these days, spend so much time on FB and now I'm back at work 2 days a week I find less time for the things I truly love, that's one of my demons, work, but hopefully not for much longer. So your comments about your job, I could've written that myself as that's EXACTLY how it's going for me too. Life's to short to be miserable so I'm giving it until I'm pregnant again (depending if I last that long) and resigning. We are intending on trying again around April, I'm a bit scared - especially at times when Amelia is unwell, last weekend I didn't cope very well and started to doubt how I'd go with 2 but I guess we get better at is as time goes on, at least I'm hoping ha ha.
Well done with Amelia's sleep, sounds like she's going great guns!!!! Boo on the teeth, I think my Amelia is getting ready for the molars too, am dreading losing my nice 7-7 night sleep throughs as I just know they'll turn to crap when she's teething, as they always do!
Anyway gotta run but make sure you don't leave it so long, talking helps ok.
xx

for the dog bite! Poor little thing, but this is how they learn - A day does not pass when Eva does not have some kind of injury these days....I had a scare with our dog when Eva started crawling where she snapped near her face but now she is used to her - I was scared to have to give her away! I make Eva feed her often and pet her gently which helps. I hope it was nothing too serious. Is everything going ok otherwise? Are you still living with your parents?
Michael is just so cute!!!!!!
Which is great, it means no more 2, 3, 4 ,5, 6am pick ups from work, he can drive himself! But after his test we were leaving the car park and the car in front of us pulled into a car space, then all of a sudden jumped the curb flew over the median strip and ran down two ladies walking into the motor registry. It was the most horrific thing I've ever seen. One lady was kind of ok and got up, but her elderly mother was dragged for a bit. A man got to her before me and started CPR, the driver of the car helped him, they got her back before the ambulance got there but she is still critical. Completely freaked DS out, he's never seen anything like that either and was really upset. We were there for a couple of hours after giving statements. So we went from being nervous about his test, to really happy and excited that he'd passed to completely traumatised all in the space of an hour
It is beyond my comprehension, how two seemingly healthy young women, sisters, can die from natural causes in the space of 9 days. It really doesn't seem fair at all.
) and always get so many comments on it. (it was my grandmothers name and she was a monumentously fab lady)
but I don't want to get to hopeful as I have a couple of times and get quite sad when AF turns up, that really sucks.
Maybe it's because of Lulu's passing (as well as her sister, Lolli's DH plus TC Yasi and the floods) that I'm making an effort to form new IRL friendships and work on maintaining my existing ones.
