My DD and DS and I are sick too. Awful head cold with temps and the muscle aches, pains and snot. Very unpleasant. I guess my other 2 DD's and DH will get it just as we are recovering.

Definitely no more babies for me. I am completely at ease with our decision. I was lucky to get no4. DH only wanted another in the hope to have a son so really it worked out well for us as we both got what we wanted. DH is on the waiting list for the snip. We don't have private health insurance so its a 12month wait.

Its been well over 15years since my first pregnancy as my eldest is almost 15. I am exhausted. I find babies so easy compared to older children. There hasn't been a time in almost 15yrs that I have not had a child in childcare so I am looking forward to going to work without the daycare run. To be able to work more and have time for me. I can't have my hair done, eyebrows waxed anything without taking at least 1 or 2 kids with me as we don't have any help with our children. If I can drop 1 off to a play date or with a relative I can't leave them all. DH and I would love to go away even for 1 night where its just us. The last time that happened was our Wedding night 7years ago. Other then the cuteness factor I can't think of any good reasons to have another. So yes 100% done. If you asked me this 18months ago then my answer would have been very different. I will miss the babies.

My eldest is working now. With all the afterschool stuff we hardly have an evening during the week at home. 4 is a lot more chaotic then I thought it would be. I found number 3 was no harder then having 2. She just slipped in like she was always a part of the family. But number 4 we are really feeling the financial pressure. Especially the private school fee's and orthodontic bill. I have $500 a fortnight come out just to cover those 2 things.

I am soaking up all this baby goodness. Its going so fast. I've already got his birthday presents and booking him into family day care for my return to work. A huge part of me is sad that this time at home with him is almost over without returning to work.

DS is crawling now. Still has 6 teeth with no more looking like coming through anytime soon. He says Mum, Dad and bub. He follows me now. If I walk into another room he will often follow. His so beautiful.
