    shell glad the food is going better! maybe just keep offering her what you have, she'll get there, DD2 eats more than DD1 and can eat main and dessert before DD1 has even finished main! hope the snot leaves your house soon, will be nice to have DP home for a few weeks too!

    OP come out baby! hope things get moving soon for you chicken!

    Heaven i got it around 6 weeks to til around 16, i used seabands and drank ginger and lemon tea, for the bloating i loooooved de-gas, best stuff!

    Malyna the meet up is the first weekend in june!!

    lilima tis cold this weekend! didnt make it past 10 yesterdaym, is slightly warmer today at 11.6! i love winter though.

    AFM DD slept through last night! 6.45 til 5.45, she resettled herself at around 9pm then DH resettled her at 5.45 for around an hour, so i got ....... 7 hours straight sleep! thats the most ive had in ages!!
    shes still a little crackly in the chest but not contagious anymore which is good, trying to get her to sleep at the moment, not going so well though at least shes not crying... at the moment!

    Olive- yay on the sleep!

    Em didn't eat tonight so back to old self, and now Ash is being picky suddenly not liking things for silliest reasons, driving me nuts.

    Sick with head cold and lots snot.

    OP- I had a S&S with DD1 and ended up having her 2 days later, but contractions were sorta starting that day.

    Nai- whats the new job? Is it a big change from what you're doing now? Same hours?

    Meg- sounds like here.

    Circus was good, Ash seemed to enjoy it. Emily seems to have gotten what Ash has had for the past week and what I have at present. Sigh, too much sickness here, coughing all night keeping ourselves awake.

    Sure thing OP - I had Miss J the day after the S&S so it didn't take long, although I was 1cm dilated and fully effaced when she did the S&S

    The new job is an Employment consultant with Vision Australia, so helping get vision impaired people into employment. They are based a 10 min walk from home so it is ideal location wise and 3 days a week 8.30 - 4.30 so shorter hours too and better salary package. It is very exciting - a step away from HR but still in the same sort of field.

    Op- Hope the S&S helps...they do get things going if you are ready.
    Olive- How are you chick, sorry really can't wait to catch up, hopefully we will all be healty soon
    Nai- New Job?? Also I just wanted to say, after seeing your FB photos this evening, even though I have not met you, you look like you have a lovely family and would be the most calm and gentle person, I love that you seem to have so much respect for you DP, I always feel so warm and fuzzy after seeing photo's of your fam,ily, you can see the love in them, hope I make sense so hard to put feelings down in words sometimes
    Ali- How did the other staff take your promotion news?? and did you sort out the oven?
    Maylna- How are you darl... I too have been a slack buddy so don't sweat the small things, I'm sure everyone understands.
    Heaven- woohoo on the all nighter...fingers crossed this is just the start of many nigts ahead.
    Lilima- How 's the rest of your day been with food? DD can decide she will be really fussy at times too.
    Shell- Glad the circus was good, we too have been going round and round with illness, like so many other ppl I know, it is full on.

    Hi to Kaz, Ellie, Holly and anyone else I have missed.

    AFU- well as you know I've been a slack Buddy sorry, lots going on I'm back to work in 7 weeks and actually realy looking forward to it..so sick of having to count every penny. L has cut 8 teeth in about 5 weeks so full on dribble and miserable he now has 16 teeth!!!!, also lots of sickness, playing tag team in our house...DH just put himself to bed with a Man cold....both DS and DD have had it too!! Touch wood I don't get it.

    OP - you still here?

    The night before last Alex fell out of his cot, onto the mattress. Don't ask me how he managed to do it (it's set on it's lowest setting), but I think someone gave me a monkey instead of a baby.

    Hi ladies,

    Just thought I would let you all know that I am pregnant again, 8 weeks. I use a different username on this site now and thought if you saw if in the preg forums you might realise it was me.
    Due Feb 8th 2011 (just before Milana's second birthday), but I am with a high risk Ob, getting regular scans and appts, he thinks we will do bed rest for at least a couple of weeks before and deliver by 34 weeks, which will be between xmas and new year.
    It's going to be a stressful and difficult journey, but I had to at least give it a go, need to try and move on and ease the pain of her death just a little.
    Had a scan a couple of days ago and 'Pip Squeak' is measuring to my dates with a strong heartbeat.
    Wish you were all still be belly buddy group, really miss you all.

    OP - hope all goes well with the birth.
    Heaven - Congrats, and stalking you.

    Take care all

    Tracy - Congratulations!! I am so happy for you - I hope Pip Squeak continues to grow from strength to strength. I am glad you have a good OB looking after you. Take care of yourself and your tribe - we miss you too We do think about you and Milana all the time.

    OP - I think your little man is just too comfy - at least he made it to the new financial year (that means extra Baby Bonus I think? - he's looking out for you )

    Pinny - LOL at me being calm! I'm more harried and frazzled at the moment. I do try to be clam though so maybe it is starting to work.

    Malyna - good luck with your book! It sounds like A is a little monkey and very adventurous!

    Heaven - yay on the sleeping through! I think we have turned a corner with the sleeping and Miss J is starting to sleep through more often than not. All 16 teeth are through which I think has made a big difference.

    AFM - I am still waiting for the new contract so i haven't been able to resign from work, so still a bit in limbo. I wish it would hurry up!!!!

    Hey all,

    Tracey - hi, so great to hear from you and to hear your very exciting news. Congratulations! As Nai said, we do think of you often. Praying that Pip Squeak continues to be strong and healthy and its great to hear you've got a good Obs on board and will be having regular scans and things. Lots of love xxxxx

    Nai - yep, he's definitely enjoying it too much in there Don't know what it means about the baby bonus? But either way I've already been taxed too much (my mat leave came through and they've taxed like over a third of it or something... heaps!) so I should do well next FY at tax time!

    That's a bit crummy about your contract - get onto them!

    Malyna - hi hi, still here! That's abit scary about Alex getting out of his cot!!! Might be time for a big bed?

    Tracey - congratulations.

    OP - we have been sleeping on a mattress on the floor for the past 8mths, putting A in the cot was a last resort.

    Went to the movies tonight and Alex is still up and running around - he had a very late nap - about 8pm, woke up and is full of the joys of spring - just got to wait for him to get tired.

    Hey Kaz

    I'm still here, I generally read the happenings here most days on the iPhone while I'm BF little X-man (as we have started calling him!) but replying is a bit of a PITA!

    But I'm here. This morning I woke up to an alternate universe where X had fed at 9.30 and 2.30, when DH left for work it was all quiet in DD's bedroom and X was still zzzzz... DD slept til 7.15 and X til 8.15

    Pretty good. Keep telling myself he is still little little little (one week tomorrow!!) and I know things could and probably will get a whole lot worse, but hey, I'm enjoying it for now.

    How you doing love? How's J?? Sleep? No sleep? Lol...

    Olive - saw on fb about Millie, hope she is ok hun.

    Hi to everyone else!!
