Thanks BAM! BTW, I'm 35 not 34 (and 36 in May, arghh!!!). Not sure why I'm admitting to it, but so bizarre I got it wrong in stats page Blush. Can only blame the hormones!

Hi Ladies know it's been a while, hope you're all well. I've been so busy and don't know where the times gone, have been back and had my 'refashioning' completed ! Yuk !
Last Friday , should have been the week before but after waiting all day they sent me home as they were too busy !!
Feeling a bit better now but stiches quite tight and uncomfortable, nearly all over though - 'bout time seeing as though Sam is 15 weeks on Tuesday !
Hubby back at work on Monday so will get back in a routine now and make a disconcerted effort to pop in every few days.
Think baby is teething already, in 6-9 months clothes too he is so big, getting weighed on Monday but bet he's 19 lb !
Bye for now x x

Just been on the yahoo groups and looked at all the piccies How cute. Whilst I was wide awake was going to add (wide awake at 1.45am?!?!?!?!?) but found mine have been wiped from my camera - Need to find the disc and add my little rascal.

Finally found someone today who thinks that I am looking for a wedding dress at just the right time yippeee, so not feeling quite so stressed about it all. I have all the little things sorted, its just the important things that I'm still looking for. I have cameras for the table, but not invites, flowers or dress - maybe need to be a little more organised me thinks.

My mum seems to think that Holly may be teething so may account for the grouchiness of the last few days and the lack of sleep. Just when you get a routine going......

.....anyway everyone is finally asleep so I'm going to join them.

Morning.

The DTs went from 6pm to 6am without a feed in between. DT1 went back to sleep after the 6am feed and is still sleeping now at 8:30am. Sadly, DT1 was wide awake and has only just dropped off.

DT1 has a nasty cough too. Wonder how many days before DT2 get it?

Fantasic sunny day (cold tho). Will get some washing on the line and take (very well wrapped up) babies out.

Golden - sorry to hear about your DT's cough - do you give anything for it?

Busyalexsmummy - could I have a look at the photos on the yahoo group? [email protected].

Brownie - TOTALLY addicted to CSI. Watched so many while pregnant that now seems I have seen them all (although sometimes takes me a good 15mins to realise) - what was my brain doing while I was pregnant??? I have missed a week of Prison Break - did you say there is a website?

Hello to everyone else.

We are off to nanny & grandads today so must go and consult the list of who bought which clothes so can dress DD in one of theirs Wink

Morning everyone! Sounds like the DTs gave you a good stretch of sleep last night GOLDENSmile;hopefully the cough won't be too troubesome, but must be awful knowing dd2 will get it too Sad. We had the blocked nose snuffles to wake up to at 2 this morning. She wasn't crying, just grumbling, and really 'playing the nostrals(sp?)' to good effect Grin; poor thing Sad.
BEARTIME: took me a while to access the yahoo group too Blush; ended up giving last feed late, because I was not going to bed without sorting it out! LOVE everyone's pictures Smile; will have to get my own sorted out and posted, though bear with me, as my technical skills are weak to say the least!
BTW NOVA, dds think you are "the REAL snow white" from your wedding photo, and love your cats too. They are desperate to see the wicked queen though! Grin.
Well, snow has gone, so thinking of going out somewhere nice for lunch. Speak later,
Diege Smile

Busyalexsmummy - thank you for the invite. Have had a look - all your babies are gorgeous but then you knew that already Smile. Will try to add a couple of DD.

It's sooooo cold - we've been without gas for over 24hours now Sad. They're now here trying to fix it, but have had to dig up the path outside our house. Apparently there is water in the gas line Shock and we are the only house in the street to be effected. The cats are NOT impressed.

Hope everyone else is having a warmer weekend Smile

Will post a few more pics on the yahoo group while DD is sleeping on DH.

Diege - I've been trying to find a picture for you of me dressed as Snow White, but I don't think we have a copy on the computer. Shame because your DD's would have loved it, it's one of my favourite outfits Smile

It's my own fault...............

DT1 has a chesty cough. Though I'd wrap them up warm and pop down the road to the supermarket. Afterall, they always fall asleep in the pram............

DT1 SCREEEEEEEEEEEEAMED the whole way there and all round the supermarket. Got endless hostile stares from singleton mums - WTF - I mean, if you want to offer help/support, thanks, you are welcome, could always do with an extra pair of hands, but if you only want to criticise/complain/stare - please just pi** off, this job is hard enough already.

One woman literally planted herself in the middle of the aisle, folded her arms, and looked at me as if I was poking baby with hot needles. I very nearly went up to her and asked her if she had something to say, grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I should have run her down with the double buggy, screaming baby an all............

The ONLY people to offer me a bit of support were two other mums with much older twins, who remember what it was like.

Hello All - ashamed to say we didn't make Church this morning Blush BUT on the upside, T went to bed at 6:20 last night and didn't stir for his bottle until 6:20 this morning!!!!!! 12 hours of sleep!!!!!! A gold star for him methinks! Grin Grin

Diege - no idea if the Ultrabland works - personally found it a bit sticky to put on Thomas, but may have to persevere?!

KArma - did you see just the 2 of Us????!!!!! What on earth happened - Chris & Jo were robbed Angry Think Sian must have got the sympathy vote - cos we vited for Chris and Jo who we thought were loads better - and I wanted to see him do his jailhouse rock again!!!!

Busy - yes, getting Thomas christened on 19th March. Have asked for the service at 12pm as lots of rellies got to travel from all over UK - 2 other bubs being done at the same service - hope they haven't invited as many people as we have, else there'll be no room at the inn!!!!! Blush

Bob 2 - yes PRison Break website is \link{http://www.fox.com/prisonbreak\here}
Be warned though - looking at the catch up bits is addictive, as you can read the whole episode for weeks in advance!!!

Hope you are all well - the tooth isn't through yet, and luckily (touch wood) not causing too much discomfort at the moment - will keep you all posted.

Brownie & Thomas

and you guys on routines when they are going thru a growth spurt and wake up in the night what d'u do? everyone seems to have different opinions - started a thread on it but no-ones replying Sad

Hi! Just a quickie as she's screaming!! BEAR: re: growth spurt, I increase day amounts, and this tends to stop night waking (increase last thing at night top up too - anything to stop more night wakings!).With dds though, nothing worked and I just had to 'go with the flow' and feed on demand, esp. when breast-feeding.
Nelson's teething powders are supposed to be brill; teething?: past experience tells me it's red cheeks, lots of saliva, chewy fists, and little sharp pain cries (as opposed to ear-deafening hunger roars) but there again, this often happens to non-teething babies too Smile.
Right, bottle of juice!

Beartime - mine have only been sleeping through for the last few weeks. No nightime waking yet, even for colds/cough or growth spurt - sure it will happen tho.

Teething - I've been told by nannies that the Nelsons homeopathic powder is very good.
