My name is Darhlia and I live in Australia and it is so wonderful to find a group of people out their who want the same things from a forum as me.

I am a happy married mummy to 13 - I have been blessed with 7 wonderful children who I have with me and another 6 children i will raise when our time is up. My most recent loss was my son Noah he was born on the 15 April at 2:57am and sadly passed away at 7:30am the same morning.

We would like to have more children but I have decided that I need to loss some weight and just become healthier generally in both my body and my spirit

My hubby is Michael and we have been married for 18 years.
My childrens ages are 17, 15, 13, 4, 2, and almost 1 year old twins.
I hope to get to know you all a heap better

Welcome, Welcome!!! How fun and interesting to have someone from Australia on here. You have a large family like I do. I have six children. I don't plan on any more children but still need to lose the weight that I put on from my last baby. She is now five. That's sound kind of pathetic that I haven't lost the weight and she is so old. Well I'm not giving up.

Great to have you on board with us all!!!

Yes, welcome aboard, and glad to hear BnS works for those down under (I know, horrible joke).

Don't be afraid to ask questions and give your opinion.

Welcome aboard.

I am so sorry for your many losses. I would love to hear about your little ones. I lost my son Levi Matthew, last July. I find strength and comfort in sharing my story, as well, as listening to others.

Hope to hear lots from you soon.

Hello, Darhlia. It is nice to have you on the boards. I am so sorry to hear that you have had to go through another loss so recently. I cannot begin to imagine the emotional rollercoaster you are on right now. You are among friends here. I hope to see you around here more often.

Hello and welcome from me too! If you don't mind telling, where in Australia are you from? I was there for a couple of weeks in 2005. I thought it was really fascinating. My husband was working there. We were in Hobart and Melbourne. My DH has also been to Adelaide, Perth, Darwin, and somewhere else I can't remember. Neither of us has been to Sydney, so I guess we will have to plan a return trip sometime. I was expecting when I was down there and about 3 weeks after I returned home I found out I was pregnant with twins. They were born 10 weeks later. They are 5 now. I have a boy and a girl. I also have a girl who's 11 and a DS who is 8. Good luck with the twins. It's quite a ride! My DH1 is currently doing a country report for school on Australia. It is fun to relive the memories as we look at pictures and postcards.

I would love to know where you are, too!

My sis-in-law served her mission in Melbourne. She says her heart is still in Australia! Hopefully we'll get to travel there someday. I hear it's amazing.

I live in a tiny little country town called Killarney
We are about 3 hours inland from the Gold Coast in the state of Queensland
