[Taurean]

Maybe you should take a test in a couple of days? You do hear stories of people mistaking implantation for a light period....

Hmmm, I might just have to. Bought myself a BBT thermometer today as I've officially started charting (properly) again. That period sure was weird though so I might test anyway just to put my mind at ease. I highly doubt I'm pregnant though, it wasn't just spotting but was far from 'usual'. Maybe my periods have really just sorted themselves out since they returned 5 months ago. Seems a bit odd though.

Art, I'm just so thrilled for you That really is such lovely news to hear. I'm grinning from ear to ear And I hadn't thought for a minute that Dec was the only time you guys shagged....especially given I was very close to being in your boat!

AM - good luck returning to work hon and with leaving Sam at childcare I know I'd be a blubbering mess too but Art is right, they nearly always put on the waterworks just for mummy's departure then that is it. I have no doubt Sam will miss his mummy to bits but he'll also have a ball playing with all the other kidlets and all those awesome new and exciting toys

Kelly - our sleep issues seemed to disappear with the last two teeth Yep, they appeared when I wasn't looking! So we have 10 now and yes, sleep has improved dramatically! She's pretty much back to her old self and still having some ripper sleep ins. Happy mummy I am! So you're thinking about #2 now? Us too!! I think I'm ready now although I had always though 2.5-3 years difference was ideal, anytime from now on is A-OK

Sangie - so glad to hear Miss Iz was the only child in Aus her was ridiculously spoilt at Christmas! I'm with you, I keep telling myself that she's our first and we are allowed to spoil her (....although she won't even remember it, lol!). Constipation is still an issue for Iz unfortunately but we're working on it (see below). How did your two enjoy Christmas?

We've just returned home from 4 days in Denmark, about 4.5 hours south of Perth. We rented a house with a few friends and basically ate and drank for 4 days - it was lovely! We had a beautiful roast for New Years (cooked by yours truly), a lot of wine and nibbles and had a ball playing board games. The two kids (Iz and her little buddy) both slept like angels on NYE so that was a bonus!

Christmas was great fun but SO hot! Actually, hot doesn't describe it. The weather was foul. 39 degrees and so damn humid. Ewww. We had a lovely day with the family though and Izzy was spoit rotten. She is NUTS about her Cozy Coupe and hasn't stopped playing with it since she woke up on Christmas Day. Her mini trampoline (it's small with a handle for her to hold onto) is also a hit - that was one of her many gifts from my parents. So, so spoilt. Oh well!

The constipation drama still continues. We've been to the doctor and they said it's quite common and have said to keep her on stool softeners (Parachoc) for 2 months until she gets over her fear of pooing. She's still struggling a bit getting them out though and you can see she is struggling - physically and mentally. That first bad dose has really scarred the poor little chicken. Hopefully it's just a fear thing and nothing more sinister. Only time will tell so wish us luck.

I posted in the 'Periods' threads last week as I started spotting 6 days before my period was due. The only other time that has happened was when I was UTD with Iz. I honestly thought we had accidentally conceived another Sept bub! I ended up spotting for 4 days before my 'very weird' period started and now it's about to end. It really has been a strange one though so I have no idea what's going on with my body. I'm off to research a bit more soon.

On the TTC note though we have decided that March is 'Open Season' so I've started charting (officially) again and hopefully come April I'll be knocked up with a Dec/Jan bub. I'm all class, aren't I? Oh, keep that quiet on FB. I don't need a cast of thousands questioning each week if I'm preggers or not, lol.

Dinner is calling, gotta run!! Huge hugs to all and Happy New Year lovelies!!
