Hey Kris...cant wait to catch up. I was hoping to see you before your little man comes but its highly unlikely. Wow you and Kel have it tough with your family...especially your mothers. I havent really got much to complain about. My relationship with my mum was non existant since she left my dad when I was 19 until I had Olivia. Since then she has stepped up to the plate and we are rebuilding our relationship. It has its moments, but she tries to be here for me every week, she will come at the drop of a hat to look after the girls if she can, she always comes with something in hand...like nappies, wipes...a loaf of bread....lunch! I cant believe that we have come from barely talking to this. Yes she drives me batty but I can count on her now. I am not rubbing it in, but I feel for you not having that support....especially from your own mothers. I wouldnt rely on my mil but I suppose thats because I have my mother to help out. Anyway big hugs to you both. Oh and Kristie...if you dont want your mum to look after the boys while your in hospital, I can always come and look after them. If I remember rightly you only stay for a little while and you come home!

Just on the topic of birth...I was looking into the homebirth pilot project at casey...however I am too far away to participate, so that is that! Adam said if I really wanted I could have a home birth but then we talked about the cost and because we will be in the middle of our renos its probably not going to be possible... also i think we might be stretching our budget if we pay for a home birth along with a $150K reno and possibly a new car... we seriously wont be fitting 3 car seats in the honda, its too narrow! As it is the 2 car seats only leave room for half a seat. We have been looking at cars and thought about the Tarago...it looks huge, but it will be ood because we go away a fair bit and also my dad and brother are moving down the road so we could take them with us to places. Anyway, back to the point....I will be going to Dandenong to have the baby.

Take care
