    Hi Die - just read your story. Very touching, it brought tears to my eyes. Likewise, I can't imagine our life without our little girl. She's turning one next week and she's brought us and our family a tremendous amount of much joy.

    Wow.. it's been a while since I last log on... I notice lots of activities! Derrol - don't worry, you'll do fine. We didn't have a chance to read up or get anything ready. It was very sudden for us. My little girl is 10 months now and the journey has been unreal. Hope you get there soon...

    hi SAHM, thanks very sharing. I realised that I may starting her on too many meals too early and perhaps overfeeding her the last few days...3x solids plus 500mls milk. I've been busy cooking and clearing poo! Have cut down today to breakfast consisting of fruit puree/bit of yoghurt/rice creal...

    Dear mummies and daddies, I need some help here. I think my little girl is ready for 3 meals a day...her sleep patterns have changed. She's 6.5 months and taking the cue from her, I'm starting 3 meals today. But I'm not sure how much milk should she be drinking and how often? Thanks lots!!

    Congrats mrs ha! You can try taking out the pacifier when he's asleep. I use it when i'm putting my daughter to sleep and take it out when she's almost asleep so that when she wakes up she's not expecting and screaming for it. But it took a couple of months..she's now 6 months. Enjoy motherhood!

    ineedmiracle and Lyn - you'll know when the time comes, ie, about when to stop IVF. For me, it's when I've done my best and have no more excuses for it not working. My hubby too couldn't bear the pain I was going through. And to clear my head and as part of closure, I went to talk to a...

    ineedmiracle - I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. I can totally understand and relate to how you're feeling right now. My mum especially was against adoption and made snide remarks about giving up on IVF...it really hurt. The reason I wanted her approval was so that she'll be...

    mrs ha - my experience on travelling with babies. We did a week holiday when my little girl was 10 weeks old - it was only to Bali, 2.5 hour plane ride, very manageable. We stayed at one place all that time. It was a great way for my husband's family to meet our little addition. My little one...

    mrs ha - don't worry too much about not being prepared. We were not ready when Alice rang with the news. We had a couple of hours to decide if we wanted to go ahead with the adoption. We realised that we were never going to be ready so we said yes (of course)....made immediate plans to head back...
