Mama Pan it's good to hear from you and exciting that you will be moving to Melbourne. I'd love to catch up with all you Melbourne ladies IRL.

Jetta it's so funny to look back and think that a year ago we were in early pregnancy, at the time things seemed to take for ages, but now when I look back it all seems to have gone really quickly. I can't believe that Ash will be 5 months on Sunday!

for you Heva. It sounds like things are really difficult for you at the moment. I hope I'm not overstepping the mark, but by the sounds of things it really isn't a very good environment for Isaac or you to be in. Is there anyway you can talk to your DF and see about getting a place of your own? I wouldn't worry too much about Isaac's development, by the sounds of things he is very healthy happy little boy. Ash also has days where he isn't vocal at all and rarely makes those agoo type noises, now when he does talk it is just making noise. I think it is all about them experimenting and learning how to use their voice.

AFM I woke up at 3am this morning with a horrible tummy upset. I spent about 45 minutes in the bathroom, then went back to bed. About 15 minutes after I finally got back to sleep Ash woke up. I'm feeling a lot better today, but still a little queasy. Just hoping it's something I ate (probably the smoked salmon bagel I had yesterday) rather than a bug, I would hate for Ash to get sick.
