Welcome Liz!!

Good luck with the baby!! Is it a boy or girl?? Or have you opted to be surprised??

Hey, as long as you don't mind losing your sanity (I think I left mine in the guestbook, it keeps on running away!) you're very welcome!!

Isn't it a bit hard to decorate, buy clothes, etc. if you don't know if it's a boy or girl, or are you going for all unisex items?

My sisters tell me I'm having a boy, because when they were pregnant with their boys they were not sick, I have not been sick, but I am not listening to them and getting any hopes up....
I am just going for unisex items at the moment, I am sure there will be plenty of things I can buy after the baby is born that will be more suited to their gender.
I dont think I have any sanity as it is... a full time uni degree, a part time job, and 2 dogs, 2 birds and 2 fish, I have little time for myself, so I think my mind and sanity ran away a long time ago!

Thank you very much ganesh! :-)

Sorry if I asked the wrong thing - I meant, what will you teach? I am from Australia too.

Wow, sorry about that justlookingforthemoment.....I would really like to teach either year 3 or Kinder.....I have done pracs with these classes and well kinder are just so adorable, and year 3 are past the smart alec stage but not complete angels but at the same time get down and do work if there is a proper system in place with structure and rules etc....
I really dont mind what years I teach as long as I have a beautiful class who I know will be trying at times no matter how old they are, but as long as I can teach them things and instill important values in their lives then I will be happy!
