    That's so nice Freya

    At the moment I'm still in awe that people go through this more than once. I'd love a big family, but can't imagine having a newborn while I have older children to care for as well. Does it get easier with each one?

    Still no word from Ilithyia? What about Jen's sister?

    I won't lie. Some weeks it's absolute chaos and I wonder what on earth I was thinking. I'm short on patience and time and sleep and a whole lot of other things. Then other weeks we have a fantastic run and they all get along and I feel like Martha Stewart and all is right with the world lol our situation is unique in that we have a child with a neurological disability so I have the added fun of therapy sessions and other stuff as well. The three older boys are at school every day so I really only have 2 under 2 at home which is pretty easy (for now haha).

    They grow so quickly before you know it they are 8 and independent and nearly as tall as you; leaving you wonder where time is disappearing too!

    Wow, you're a wonder woman! Three in school means uniforms washed and ironed, homework done, lunches packed and out the door by a certain time. Then to have one with additional special needs on top of that!

    You must be super organised to ensure everyone is fed and dressed and bathed and all the other things they need!

    Hey ladies! Just thought I'd pop in and say hi, and let you know that we are expecting a new little blessing to join our family in October, if all goes well. Planning for a home birth again.
