Hi Girls! My goodness I am SOOOOO far behind, I haven't been getting notifications again, then I couldn't find the thread and had to dig back, aaarghh!

BS - Yay TTC!!!!!! I've just been looking randomly at the thread for the group due in May so just pregnant and most of them have bubs our age and a little older, so makes me feel even more closer to being ready. You are so right, every time I look at Amelia I see a little girl coming along and it makes me feel more ready to give her a sibling, I was getting a bit scared for a while there but I seem to be seeing so many pregnant bellies lately and everytime I see it I want one ha ha! We will stick to our plan of end of year/beginning of next year but that will be here before we know it. Good luck mate, I am sending you sticky vibes to fall quickly, most people I know find their hormones are still strong so it's quicker than expected. It feels like just yesterday we were pregnant with our little ones yet look at how far they've come, the more I think about it the more I like the idea of having them close together, I think it will be physically and mentally challenging but think how cute they will be. I was talking to one of my ex boss's wife on Facebook the other day, she has 2 girls, exactly 2 years apart and she said it's so amazing watching them, they're like best friends, how sweet is that. She said she went back to work when her first was 11 months old (same as what I'll be doing) and hated it, lasted 4 months and left and fell pregnant straight away. I'm not sure I'll last 4 months but we'll see ha ha.

Hi Beany - I love seeing your videos of Michael, he's so good with that walking, Amelia has only just stopped commando crawling and is starting to learn to stand but no walking yet! What she doesn't do in the physical stakes she makes up for with her vocabulary, I can't say I'm surprised though, as you know I like a chat and I have very chatty sisters so I think it's in the genes, funny given DH is so quiet lol. Well too bad, she looks like him so at least she has some of my personality....although I'm thinking that might bite me in the bum later lol. She is saying so many words, of course she loves books and Sesame Street and Waybuloo and The Wiggles, I don't mind her watching a little bit of TV, as long as it's mostly those sorts of things, she so loves music and dances along (well bops) to the music and claps and everything. She's saying dadda, mumma, nana, dog, duck, giggle (well it sounds like that) and also, don't laugh but in her fave book there's a tractor, flower and turtle (it's one of those touch and feel books) and she's trying to say those words, they're not exact of course but it comes close hee hee! She's so cute. As for Michael's biting, I don't have that here yet but he has double the amount of teeth to Amelia ha ha! BS is right though, try firmly saying no, Amelia keeps trying to play with the tv cabinet contents, ie, the set top box, dvd etc and also she makes a bee-line for my dogs bed which is yuk as he's old and a bit stinky hee hee, Paul has started saying "no" in a firm low voice and she stops, looks and cries! It's sad to watch but it goes to show she knows what it means, of course I can't bring myself to do it so for now I'll leave the meany stuff up to DH ha ha.

Hi Rose - how are you going, are you feeling any better? Yay for Liam sleeping better, I know the teething thing, Amelia has been teething the past week, it sux ha ha! We need to arrange a catch up, I'm due back at work in 3 weeks, let's do it before then.

Hi Everyone else - hope you are all well and bubs are thriving. xx

AFM - everything's going well, Amelia's 4th tooth appeared last weekend after a week of not so good sleeping and whinging, she now has the bottom 2 middle, and one side and the middle top next to it, I thought she was bound for fangs but no, trust my daughter to do things differently! We're off to the farm for the long weekend, mum moved into her new house this weekend so I'm going to stay with her for a change, the holiday house is full with the brother and sister in law and their friends and kids so didn't have much of a choice, well, we could've stayed there but I think it would resemble something like the zoo so not my idea of a relaxing weekend. I've been trying to be good with my eating and not having chocolate during the week and doing a bit more exercise, although I could do more and in the last 2 weeks I've lost 1kg, it's not much but I always have more success if I lose 500 grams a week, it's better that way anyway......1 down, another 2 or 3 to go!!!! Grrrr. Oh well, it's a start.

Hope everyone is well, sorry I don't get on but like Beany I've tried a few times and had trouble, not sure what's up with the site lately! Have a great weekend everyone. xx
