hi girls!

G: i can see how it would suck big time to not be asked, even if just out of politness and acknowlegement that you have done it all before ITMS). but then again, i guess she probably would feel close enough to ask only if she were your sis, not SIL itms (i cant really vouch on this one as i am an only child and my BIL is a bit crazy lol).
also, i remember when i got my BFP with leila i raced to the GP who asked who my OB was, i didnt have one so she gave me a list of names and told me to ring straightaway, so i got back to the office and called...got the first one that had a spot. it's all so much info when you first find out (especially if you werent expecting it ITMS), so no doubt she just followed that really fast path of booking in/bloods/scan details etc etc without even fully realising what had just happened...mebbe.

Cally: we do have a downtime with Leila now. usually it involves a book or two (where she reads it on her own), or she watches two shows on TV.
i was a notorious steak chewer-spitter. still not the biggest fan...

MP: far out woman! that does sound nasty i hope that it is just a freaky rash outbreak kinda thing and not the skin allergy that your mum has...doesnt sound like it would be much fun. FWIW, i got this super angry crazy rash itch when i was pg with Marta, midwife thought it might of been shingles (did you get checked for that?) but it turns out that i all of a sudden got a reaction to the chemicals at the pool! i cant swim at that place anymore (but other public pools are fine...so must be the brand?).

Arte: oh man, that is great news about the new friend. it so can make a hard day seem so much rosier. i love my neighbours for that
i think my brother is only interested in just checking out my pics for the moment lol. i think finding out i even existed was a bit of shock...my *awesome* father managed to keep that one quiet from them all this time . considering half of our home town knew, it was a talented activity lol.

sherie: aw man, that is lucky that L is back in good health. we are still struggling here

AFM: well i am shagged. to put it bluntly Leila is still quite unwell and is becoming behaviour wise quite horrid. temps and rivers of snot after 8 days does not make for a happy camper. i wish that she wakes tomorrow fresh as a daisy
and now i feel extra blergh as i just read in "the age" today about the newborn baby in western NSW, arrghhhh! i guess with all the BB loss lately and this news on top, i just feel in freefall and want to just have a magic wand and make the world happy and safe for all (sorry for the downer, i *think* being housebound for almost 2 weeks is no good for the soul!)
