Oh wow Jen that's such exciting news!!! Congratulations but yes I understand your apprehension re getting ready to move & where to birth etc. Wow wow wow! What does Derek have to say about it all?

Dino I know it's easy for us all to say you need to do the sleep school when there's very real practical considerations to grapple with, but I really think you should pull out all the stops with this one & try to make it happen. It's not only Teddy and you who will benefit from this but the whole family. If Oliver looks as though he's not going to be happy about it could your DH arrange a few special boys night things for him on the nights you'll be away? Just little things like pizza at the park for dinner, a movie night at home with popcorn? Fancy icecreams?

Mrs Cee - goodness not long to go now! How disappointing about your OB, but it's so exciting to be so close to the end now

Got to go, just home from swimming, need to get dinner then run out the door to tafe at 6 - aaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY Jen!!! Congrats on the wonderful news xo

DinoJen: So hope you can get into sleep school to assist you all, TNMN had some great ideas. I have to have my Thyroid levels checked 6 weekly while levels stuffed but other than that every 3/6 mths depending on how I am feeling. If feeling ok, just every 6 mths but if feeling drowsy and tired all the time - 3 mths.

Hi Shadowess: how are you and your beautiful girls?

MarsBar: Hi how are you? I have to make it to Newcastle soon!

TNMN: How is TAFE going?

MrsCee: Boo re the Ob!!! Hope the rest of the pg goes quick!!

AFM: Lactation bikkies are my friend atm lol but Oreo is doing well especially after a major growth spurt the last two weeks. House hunting still not going my way but organising Oreo's Baptism is keeping me busy as well.

xo to all

Tafe's going well thanks DF I've almost finished my 1st subject, the assignment's handed in though I still have one lecture to go. It's slow going doing just one subject but I really can't take on more till I get childcare for carys as DH is doing 2 units per semester of IT masters on top of full time work.

Dreary day here, looking like rain but not quite there. We have had absolutely gorgeous weather recently though so i can't complain.

I'm looking forward to trying out a new hot cross bun recipe I came acress courtesy of the recipe section. http://www.zacpower.com/home/default.asp

Maybe be could have a virtual HCB day? It's been a while since virtual scone day...

VSD was close to two years ago that we had VSD - definitely long overdue. Don't know that I'm up to making HCB - but doesn't mean I can't buy some and join in!!

Baking completely optional - eating compulsory

I have hot X buns

I think the Easter Bunny should come Friday so we can eat chocolate for 4 days

I have hot cross buns too. DH is a baker so I don't even have to make them

Ha! I just saw I posted Zac Power instead of the hcb recipe . Here is the recipe http://www.danlepard.com/front-carousel/20...ced-stout-buns/. They are hands down the best hcb I've ever had.

So, I think I have mastered the art of a balanced diet for the Bugs. For morning tea they each had a small egg and shared a bowl of sliced cucumber, carrot and shredded lettuce left over from our politically correct fish and salad dinner!!!! I can now feel smug about my parenting cause at least there was something green amidst the chocolate (although, if the only criteria is green, would mint chocolate work????).

Or lollie spearmint leaves? Both green AND leaf shaped
