Sorry I've been so quiet girls. Fingers crossed that in less than 3 weeks this morning sickness will be gone (I think it left around 14 weeks with Kyson...). DH has been so fantastic lately. He had monday off work, and on sat, sun and mon he let me sleep in while he looked after Kyson. And on the Sat afternoon I even got an afternoon nap! Kyson's been being really good too and he's been rather happy and content lately, and even sleeping better at night. I was sure that the few terrible nights we had with him about a week ago was due to molars coming, but there's still no sign of any extra teeth in there.

Now, I'm no sook or wuss when it comes to needles, but a couple of days ago I went to have the blood test that you have 10ish days before the NT scan, and IT HURT! I've never had a needle that hurt so much. It hurt going in, hurt while it was in there, the blood seemed to take ages to fill the tube, and then it hurt coming out, lol. I was sure it was going to bruise, but nope, there's hardly a mark there now. Maybe I was just being a sooky-la-la, hehe. It's exactly a week until our 12 week scan though, so I'm very excited about that

BG - Gosh, what terrible dramas you have with family! I think it's none of their business what you do with the house. It's YOUR house and if at the end of the day they feel that passionately about it, then they can buy it off you! Sounds like a good idea to keep pretty quiet about where you move to next. You don't need people like that in your life.

Jacinta - That's great to hear that your mum is going to be able to help with the moving. We moved house almost a month before Kyson was born, and it wasn't the easiest thing to do. The funny thing was when the moving truck guys were telling me off if I went to try to lift something haha.

Amy - Awwwww, my heart was melting when I read your little story about Natty and Phoebe on the stairs! That's so adorable. I hope Kyson and Apple Blossom get along really well Oh, and both DH and I are hopeless is the garden. We REALLY need to get the gardeners to come out soon because I'm actually scared to walk through some of our backyard (there's no grass, it's just plants/shrubs with little bark paths through it). I'm even too scared to go to parts of it to pick up the dog poop, hehe. We're thinking about pulling up a section where the clothes line is (and removing the clothes line), then putting a raised section in there and putting in the fake grass and making it a little kiddy play area. I'd put real grass there, but we don't have a lawn mower, and even if we got one, I know we'd be terrible at maintaining it. Besides, Kyson seems to love the fake turf down at the soccer field. It's nice and soft and a little spongy when he falls on his butt.

Vic - Usually I'm rpetty good at getting gifts for DH for occasions like birthday, anniversaries etc.. But I have the funniest story! DH didn't get me anything for valentines day, so when a few weeks later it was our anniversary I made a calculated guess that he probably wouldn't get me anything, or we'd just go and get something together. I was reading about the tradition gifts for anniversaries and apparently this year was cotton, so I thought great, I'll get him some socks because he needs them anyway. Soooo, our anniversary comes and DH comes into the lounge room with Kyson and they are carrying a gift bag from TIFFANY's!!! He got me a gorgeous necklace and the pendant is made up of 6 little lovehearts that represents each one of us, Me, DH, the two DSS's, Kyson and Apple Blossom. I cried, lol! Years ago he had bought me a tiffany's necklace that had 4 loops and it represented our family before Kyson came along, so this one was the "updated version", hehe. You can imagine how small I felt when I gave him his wonderful gift of socks!!!

Bella - I hope you are all feeling better at your house! I know it's such a stupid thing to say, but gosh I hate being sick, hehe. Oh, one of DH's cousin's had her little girl a couple of weeks ago (Eva Grace ), and we went to visit her last night. She is such a little doll. Kyson was never that small! Eva was only 6pd9oz, so it was odd thinking that I never saw Kyson when he was that little. Anyway, she is currently borrowing my hug a bub and according to her facebook status this morning and the message she sent me, she is loving it. I told her about your wraps and she asked for your details. I sent her the link to your business fb page, so she may contact you soon

t_m - I've been keeping up to date of your moving efforts on facebook and it sounds like you are going rather good. Well, as good as moving house can be anyway, lol. I hope you and Jade settle in quickly

Nicky - Oh my! I can't believe how organised you are with Christmas already!!! I haven't got anything for Kyson yet. I have no idea how much he's going to change before the end of the year and I'm worried about getting something that won't be age appropriate. Hmmm, if we go ahead and make an outdoor kiddy area, perhaps some outdoor play stuff would be good... DH will like that because he says we have too many big toys in the house!

Nic - Just wondering if you got your blood test results back yet? I am keeping my fingers crossed for you! I hope Aaron is doing well

Cathy - Did you end up winning that allsorts competition? I voted and kept checking each day if it would let me vote again, but it only ever let me vote once. Last I checked though you were in the lead!

Nay - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I hope you are having the most wonderful day!!!
