    Just a quikie.

    BG- *huge hugs* hun. I'm glad you got into James. He is awesome, and he really knows what he's on about. Fingers crossed all goes well. So very sorry to hear about DH's eyes. Fingers crossed he can get a transplant quickly.

    Hi to everyone else. I promise I will get some persies done in the next few days. We are off to Melbourne on Monday to see Logans specialist, so will let everyone know how we go. Jake and Zac also start school monday but at the same time.

    Thanks for the tips about Seaworld Naomi! I think we'll have a great day! I just went and looked at your seaworld photos again hehehe Luckily you had an album called 'Gold Coast' so I found them easy hehe.

    Happy 8mths to Emerald! Time sure does fly! Cara turns 8mths on sunday! Wow...
    I wonder who will be walking first?? I think Cara will take her time as my other babies did. Though Ronan was taking steps at 11mths! I went back and read his little diary from those days and it was so cute! Yassie had come running it to tell me Ronan had taken steps towards her (she was 3 at the time). Cute I wrote in books for all the kids, anything special that they did, firsts etc.

    I had a terrible time before trying to settle Cara...and then later she woke up and was sooo miserable....pulling badly at her ear! I felt like there was nothing I could do..it went on for so long, the whimpers. I gave her some panadol in the end. I had already given her bonjela a few times and I know I can't give her it more than 4 hourly or something. I actually got the teething necklace in the mail today and she wore it a bit of today and I had not had any irritability from her..but I took it off as she'd had a bath and was going to bed.

    Where do you get your photo book done Naomi? I have thoughts of doing one for Cara.

    I have a question for a friend of mine (and no it is NOT me!)

    She had a scan at 5weeks 5 days and the heartbeat had only just started. She's concerned because the betas were really high. 16dpo - 2300, 19dpo - 4400 and 21dpo -7800. They are really high numbers and she knows it can be an indication of problems. I really want to know If anyone had anything similar happen to them and the outcome was ok?

    I think she is worried about Downs syndrome. Can anyone give any advice/stories of someone that went through a similar situation and everything was ok?

    Cathy - I have no idea re the correlation between high beta/hcg readings and down syndrome, but I do know that high hcg readings can be an indicator of twins or a multiple pregnancy - could she be carrying twins?

    No, it's not twins. She told me there was only one sac and one heartbeat. The dr says it could be a miscarriage or downs.... She is just wondering if anyone had similar and had no problems. I did actually post it for her in the normal pregnancy area of belly belly..and had a couple of replies so far.

    Very quick post today! We made it safe and sound to the gold coast yesterday. Kyson was a little angel on the plane. He fell asleep just after the plane took off, and woke up while we were taxi-ing after landing!

    We got settled in yesterday afternoon, and this morning we have been to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. It was very pretty, but probably not the best place for an (almost) 9 month old. He couldn't really see a lot of the stuff. The birds were too small and fast for him to really notice, the wombat was too slow, the snake was too slow... He liked the dingoes though during a little show. They came running out, so he got a good look at them. Oh, and we got a photo with a koala, lol!

    Better run now, we're just about to head down to the swimming pool.

    Can't wait for Seaworld!!!

    Cathy - I hope everything is ok with your friends baby, how heartbreaking to think something could be wrong

    Krystie, Bella and Cathy - have an awesome time at Seaworld!

    Bailey is racist - Oh Dear! All jokes aside, On friday one of the Indian ladies at Mum's work gave him a cuddle and he burst into tears, and today he looked around at the TV to see Eddie Murphy and got upset and burst into tears - I realised that he has never really seen anyone with darker skin and for whatever reason it must have scared him, we are all pale pasty skin from english stock, not sure what to do? Any ideas? Is that heaps weird? It's kinda embarrassing.....
