Wow, everyone IS preggers, except Selina and me!
T-girl loves having her brother, and kind of seems lost on the days he's at kinder. She's had a couple of sits on her pony...which is pretty cool, cos that boy is not broken in! She's a gun and will try anything her brother is game to try...so I've been repeating to him that he has to be a bit more careful about when he lets her see...that's a lot of responsibility for a 5yo, but we can only hope for the best!
EC has been awesome - esp handy given we still don't have a washing machine on the farm, and we have to deal with our own rubbish (all farms do, not just those without certificates of occupancy ;) ).
I can tell she misses the farm when we're not there - her mood picks up as soon as we turn off the highway to get home. She's so expressive and intuitive.
Next year I'm looking forward to just 'being' with her, instead of having uni hanging over me. That will be really nice, for a change.
She's still breastfeeding like a champ, still giving me nipple thrush from time to time, just to make things interesting (and to keep the Daktarin brand alive...!).
One thing I notice is that she is a lot happier to be left with someone than DS ever was. My only working theory at the moment is that I had to leave DS in someone else's care, for various reasons, well before he was 6 months old, and then regularly after that. I think that upset his attachment apple cart, but because of an operation and uni, it couldn't be helped.
I'm still wearing her in a sling ftrom time to time, too - she still loves it, but if I don't have to then I won't, because it does upset my pelvis :(
And she's got the best hair - better than any toddler ever needs, so that's unfair!

i know we catch up on fb but these are the kind of posts we dont catch up on, not this stuff and not in this detail.
erin im so so happy for you, looks like you had it a whole lot easier this time around, that is terrific, i cant believe how quick your pregnancy is going, its flying by, it probably doesnt seem it to you though.
maya that must be hard for you and for ds but i guess we gotta do what we gotta do, he's off to school next year isnt he? that must be a strange feeling, i remember crying when dsd went to school, its so sad but such an exciting time too. it will be nice to get some one on one time with dd next year. im glad your bf journey is still going well too.
glad to hear from some of you so quickly, i cant believe how dead our thread was.
dd is going well, so smart (well i think so) growing so quickly, still my velcro baby although she is getting better, and i have successfully left her a few times now with dh or mum without too much issue so hopefully it will continue to improve. she has taken a bit of a step backward as i have cut all her day feeds out and shes only getting one full feed in the morning and a token gesture of a night (the pain is too much and i decided after near 2 years i deserved a bit of a break, not to mention needing to learn to get her to sleep without it) so this has caused her to be slightly more clingy than she has been the last few months but im sure in time it will ease off. Lots going on around the yard with our shed being built and the landscaping going on so there are constantly tradies in and out all day, it will be worth it in the end. Not much else to report really. hope to see you all here more often

Hi Girls
A very busy house here (as you can imagine) Tara is going great guns, except for her damn 2 yr molars giving us grief. They still haven't broken through as yet so she has some bad days with pain and headaches from them but she seems less irritable with her amber necklace on. She is a real character and a "parrot" so have to be careful what we say around her now, she can count to 5 and then back down to 1 again and is showing a real interest in dancing and gymnastics - if being able to do the splits is anything to go by. It will be so interesting to see how much she has grown in the last 6 months when she has her 2yr MCHN check next month, and have started to prepare for possible toilet training over summer as well but we will see how that one goes closer to the time.
Apart from Tara, my boys are now 4 months old - time flys by - and I have one that can roll from back to tummy and the other is very strong and wants to sit up or stand all the time, so with a little bit of balance he will be sitting before too long. I've also just introduced solids to them as well so it will be interesting to see how they grow and develop over the next few months. Oh at there weigh in last week Liam (6.5kg's)weighed in more than Tara at the same age and is also longer, so I think he is going to be the biggest out of all of them, Rhys's length was the same as Tara but he is much lighter in weight (6kg's) so I still have one little baby to snuggle as Liam thinks he is a big boy now and only wants snuggles on his terms.
Good to hear from you all - OMG can you believe we all have almost 2yr olds - scary.
