Thanks J . Ms is killing me but I will get to the joyful part of this pregnancy soon enough I hope

PMSL, BG. I'm not sure I can totally picture the... erm... logistics of it though. Not that I am really into picturing Nay and Sean anyway! (I promise, Nay!)

I think P is giving up her sleep. She still sleeps at CC but at home she has pretty much given it the flick. When she does have a day sleep she tends to wake for at least an hour in the night! It'd be fine except that she wants to be entertained. I'm definitely not into entertaining at 2am.

see i wasn't picturing specific logistics lol - i had IUI - so there was no real involvement with C - he had his time with a cup, i had mine with the nurse and a syringe and catheter - so TTC for us was not related to sex at all! that didn't enter my mind - just getting the little swimmers where they needed to be lol. it's been fun telling the very, ummmm, conservative rello's that E was the result of a threesome with the nurse though! one uncle is soooooooooo much of a smart ass, now one can one-up him - but that line left him speechless for HOURS - was quite amusing!

i'm buggered tonight. we bought a wii the other day so c and i could do something a bit more healthy once E is in bed (i used to love going walking at night, but can't do that in winter, with a toddler, over here - and definitely not solo!) - we have been having a ball with it! i am having to take it easy thought - not sure if you seen the pic on facebook of the egg on my head from E throwing her brush at me. it's still VERY painful. brat threw an adults brush and clocked me big time (i NEVER thought a little kid could inflict so much pain). i spoke to my chiro the next day and from what he said, he suspects i had a mild concussion, and on scoping out the egg, he said it was likely there is a hairline fracture there. i asked whether it was worth going to GP for xrays and he said probably not, i was doing ok while i was with him (he tested all the things that would suggest any sort of impairment with head injuries), there was nothing they'd do if it was confirmed apart from maybe offering stronger pain killers (which i'd be reluctant to take while still BF E) so we're just keeping an eye on it. means taking it easy on the more physical wii games (i'm having a ball laughing at how unco C is). but we sat up til really late the last couple of nights playing - and probably will tonight (when the AFL finishes on TV)

as for E - WOW - she is full on at the moment!! she is a stubborn little girl who is adament SHE knows best about everything, won't listen, and it's becoming scary at the things she will do t assert her independence/dominance - we have had to set a rule of two warnings, third time it's removed. in the bath, two warnings to sit properly, then we take the plug out (it's just too dangerous and i'm worried she'll end up hitting her head - i KNOW what that's like - i don't want her going through this!), climbing is the same thing, getting into the pantry and fridge (argh! frustrating). The other thing that scares me is her obsession with the oven. we can't keep her out of the kitchen (open plan house and baby gate is just not safe) and she insists on turning on the oven (electric) or opening the door (only when it's off - so far) - it just worries me that she'll get burnt but she doesn't seem to get it!

PMSL - you girls are funny, I'd do anything for a baby in truth, but sex while bungey jumping, well that's a whole 'other' thread for the AO section LMAO

Anyhoo, thanks for the kind words, no doubt I'll feel the need to spill my guts as we ride this journey, and BB is the best place to do it, so apologies in advance if I bore you senseless with IVF TTC talk But I thank you in advance, we aren't telling many people at all this time (certainly not family, possibly my Mum as she'll need to look after Bailey for appts etc), but we learnt a harsh lesson last time with prying eyes and gossips so I will need my BB 'safe' place to vent/cry or woohoo!

BG - arrrghhhh re the oven obsession, we recently took our baby gates down, so far so good, its bloody nice not to have to navigate them anymore.

I worked this morning so DH and Bailz had a Daddy day, they went to Toys R Us for TWO hours and just played and played and checked out just about every single toy in store. Bailz chose this Cars movie truck, he went to sleep with it, I had to wait until he'd fallen asleep and let go of it to get it out of his bed LOL. Too cute. They are really bonding, they've always obviously had a lovely relationship and Bailz has been in awe of Daddy but its just starting to turn into this beautiful Daddy/Son friendship, it makes me a bit teary (happy emotional tears)

Anyway, must go finish downloading my virus software which runs out at midnight

BG: Eeeek @ the oven. Must be a low down one? Ours is up high so I don't have to worry but Natty keeps bringing a step-stool into the kitchen to see what I'm doing and often leaves it there. I forget about it til P comes along and it just the right height to touch knives or hot plates, etc. Of course she doesn't get why I get her down and take it off her - always results in a tanty. Not too much longer though and they'll be better able to reason.
So sorry about your head! That's quite a good arm she has there - skulls are bloody hard!
Nay: How lovely that S & B are enjoying their time together!

We've had a couple of super BORING days this weekend. I passed up the opportunity to go out to lunch today with our fam and I'm regretting it. DH has gone out this evening. The girls are having some screen time and I am (supposed to be) preparing some dinner... am feeling very uninspired!
Phoebe has an insane attraction to textas. Blimey, I hardly ever allow Nat to get them out but whenever she does P finds them and gets the stuff all over herself. Fortunately it comes out of clothing but you need to scrub skin pretty hard to get it off

she hit me right on the temple (about the only thin-ish part i think) - we don't KNOW it's fractured - but he's suggested it is possible - and it would explain the intensity of the pain on impact! can't believe how good her aim was - although she was probably aiming for my lap and misfired! C was being a turd just now, and i told him to be careful or i'd get E to throw a brush at him! i just wish i wasn't waking up feeling unrested because i have a headache.

and yeah, our oven is down really low - the only really bad point in this house - drives me bonkers cos i'm used to a high oven at the old house!!


cute moment this morning - E came in to our bed about 6am, had a feed, fell asleep, so i went to the loo, hopped back into bed with my back to her - woke a couple of hours later (she let us sleep til NINE!!) feeling pressure on my shoulder and against my ear. it felt to heavy to be her arm so i had a look - and there was a foot on my shoulder/head!! i thought she must have been laying across the bed between C and I, pushing him out of bed too, but he was happily hogging his half of the bed, and she'd shimmied up between the pillows to put her foot on my shoulder - cheeky wench!

LOL! Awesome that you guys got a 9 o'clock sleep-in! Jealous here. Natty came into ours at 5:15 and fell back asleep but gradually pushed me further and further into the middle of the bed so in the end my head was between the two pillows. Comfy as.
Hope the headache has eased off a little today.
