MD I am soooooooooo happy for you, excellent news indeed. So relieved for you!!!!!!!! Well done you have been so strong.

Noni - I have a bit of an idea but dont know how it will go down seeing as you are tired with little W to care for, but bike riding is a fantastic work out and its good fun. If you can get your hands on a 2nd hand bike if you dont have one, when DH gets home from work go for a half hr ride, the fresh air will make you feel relaxed also and just to get out of the house on your own will do you good. You could also go early in the morn before DH leaves for work, but this may be too much with waking during the night for W. I just think you really need some ME time and exercise makes you feel great and seeing as you want to find time to fit it in anyway as you want to lose the baby weight.

Trill - Thanks for the advice, I feel the same, I can be quite rude when it comes to food and M, I dont like doing it, but sometimes thats what it takes to get the msg through. Of course that msg doesnt last lol. As for A running away, had to have a little giggle. He just wants to be like dad doesnt he. What a cutie. At least you know one of your kids has the potential to take over the farm one day! I love the sound of country living too, it sounds wonderful.

MP - Congrats on the move back to Melb, is your work transferring you? Are you back at work yet?

Clare - Oh nooooo, why is he going to NZ? Work? It better not be for fun, leaving you home!! Maybe if you ask him not to meet up with the ex, would he respect that?

Oz - Glad to hear from you!!! Z is an absolute little darling, how are you finding having a girl? As they get older it gets to be much more fun with dressing them up & putting their hair into styles lol. Yes you can tell M & I have a ball with this, she loves putting on a 'pretty dress' and then runs to our room to gaze at herself in the full length mirror. How are you feeling, tired much?

Arte - Forgot to mention, cant believe that A is sitting, she is a fast learner like her big bro!!
