Hi Girls

Once again, I missed the change of threads and haven't been getting the updates in my subscriptions

Happy New Year!!!!

Carmelo was crazily spoilt by everyone (especially Daddy ) for Christmas, it was lovely after trying for over 8yrs to get another baby to finally spend Christmas with one
New Years Eve was spent at home with some family here, we just lazed New Years Day away in the pool with the kids... was perfect!

Carmelo is up to the stage where he is crawling backwards and round and round - rolling over and over everywhere but hasn't quite figured out how to move forward either! Lots of rocking back and forward on all fours, and lots of frustration! He moved his left leg forward yesterday as he reached out to get a toy, but didn't quite realise what he'd done! Look out when he does, though
Sitting up confidently on his own now, he hates laying down unless he's sleeping.
I also forgot how frustrating this age is while breastfeeding.... the busy baby that doesn't stop moving, prodding, pinching, hitting, hair pulling poor mummy!!! I love it though
He's now weighing 7.75kgs as of a few days ago... so not so much the premmie baby anymore!
Also saying Mum Mum and Dad Dad continuously is very cute also

Good friends of ours announced New Years Eve they're 8 weeks pregnant with their 2nd (1st is 18 months old) and I must admit I got extremely clucky!
DH & I have plans for us to try anywhere from Carmelo's 1st birthday... finances pending of course
A lovely email letting us know our IVF clinic fees for each cycle has now gone up to $7100 was not the greatest way to start the year, lol! Its ok though, Carmelo's cycle was $6500 in August 2009, so it was expected.
DS1 starts high school at a private school in a few weeks, so providing our finances can handle his humungous fees, an IVF cycle and me to continue not working, we'll try for bub #3 anywhere from June-December this year.
(Oh, and I still have 10kgs of IVF/baby weight to lose first as well!)

Hoping everyone is wonderful xxx
