Hi Rose - isn't it great when they start walking? They're so much happier. My back has improved so much since M started walking because I'm not carrying her around all day. I saw on FB you're back on prednisilone. I know the side affects are annoying but its worth it to feel better.

Hi Alison - the new group was great. They were pretty much all English girls newly arrived in Sydney so none of us know many people. I tried calling an established group the health clinic put me onto and they didn't even call me back. I think it will be better to join a group that's just starting up. Aren't teeth the worst?? Matilda has three coming through at the moment!! One at the front and two of her 1 year molars. It was an AWFUL weekend between that, her cold, and the heat in Sydney.

AFUS - Well just popping in to say hi. I had a scan yesterday and started to really feel like this baby is real. And then I saw a friend with her 16 month old and newborn up the street today. It was amazing to see how small he was!! You forget!! And you forget how irresistible they are! I'm thinking of dropping Matilda's last feed at the end of the week which is sooooo sad but its got to happen soon. I don't think I'm up to tandem feeding so I guess I've just got to bite the bullet and do it.
