Hey girlies,
Can I join in? I have only just discoved this area of belly belly! Devistated I hadnt found it earlier! I am 7 weeks pregnant with my first, and belly belly seems to be my only friend atm cause all my friends are in different stages of life.. they like to go to discos and silly things where they all get drunk and do stupid things.
I have read a bit of the older posts and see that alot of u have bubs already, but I am interested to find out more about you all. I live in the outer eastern suburbs of melbourne.. In a semi rural area, nice and quite. I was diagnosed with endometriosis a few years ago and I am extatic that I am UTD after only about 4 months of trying. Really parranoid that it might go away. But I have my fingers crossed and I am keeping my legs shut so nothing falls out

LJ - Get your buttox back in here!!! Just because no-one responded in text doesn't mean you were ignored, it means we didn't know how to reply. Tell us, what's happening in your life? Your wedding anniversary is coming up soon isn't it?

DM - I would have done it but the factory used the rachet gun to put the wheels on and it is the first time it has been taken off. DH was jumping on the wrench to undo the nuts, and he is not light!! I am not heavy enough to have shifted those nuts. The girls are good, Defiant but good.

Anyway I have a headache (from repeating myself so much and yelling at the girls ) so I better go and grab some headache tablets.

Serenity is going great next weigh in on Tuesday but she's sleeping longer now 4hrs during the day and 5hrs at night so if I feed her at 9pm then I only have to get up once during the night

Happy Birthday Monika!! Hope you had a great day

I dropped into a local high school today and showed off my boys. They were all interested in the premmie side of things as well as the young mum side of things. It was really good enjoyed it!

Well the teacher of the class said that babies born less than 36 weeks probably wouldn't survive... My brothers girlfriends sister takes the class and piped up telling them about me and the boys. My brothers girlfriend gave the teacher my number and she rang to make a date!
