I don't feel a bit clucky at all atm with you pg women about. I am feeling about done with 7 but my dh is working away this week and I am sooooo lonely. Well not really lonely but craving adult conversation and needing some time out!!

CathieW · November 18th, 2008, 03:23 PM

Hi ladies,
Just a quick note letting you all know how the twins are going, well for the first six weeks I did not like it one little bit, and when I was talking to parents who had twins they were telling me how much they like it and they would love to have other set. I would just look at them and think you are soooooo crazy, well now I know and understand them I am loving it they are sooooo cute, they look at each other and they are starting to smile. It's hard work but it is also very rewarding.

Hana is such a drama queen and sam just goes with the flow, thank god for rockers they are such a blessing.

Cathie

glad things are settling down for you ... newborns are such a handful - I can't imagine having two at once! It must be so cute seeing that special bond that twins have!

Big

to everyone else!

This thread has gone quiet again?? Well if anyone is out there I will share something funny...

I told ya all we moved into a 7 bedroom home (yeah!!!) well funny thing is I now have 3 spare bedrooms...? How so you ask with 7 kids? The were lonely in a room by themselves! So have all moved into 3 rooms between them all! Who says you need a big house for a big family? Just a big heart!

**mountain mummy** · November 27th, 2008, 10:03 AM

how cute! lol!

**Dustmite** · November 27th, 2008, 04:16 PM

halltribe - thats too funny.

Well I guess the good news is you know have room for more

**halltribe** · November 28th, 2008, 06:41 AM

Dustmite - Ha ha - not funny! I think 7 will do me for now!!

**Dustmite** · November 29th, 2008, 03:48 PM

...I think 7 will do me for now!!

you say for now, but I see nothing about later! LOL

**storm** · November 29th, 2008, 08:17 PM

Ha ha ha Hall, that'd be right hey?

Glad to hear that Sam & Hana are a delight now Cass, although I must say I don't envy you one bit!! Well done on getting through the first 6 weeks with them, you're a legend!!

We're living in the land of horrid teenage nightmares atm, anyone wanna trade with me? I have so had enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Dustmite** · December 4th, 2008, 01:01 PM

storm - I might consider trading => I have a little man who is 2 1/2 and can be a living terror. The one thing he has going for him is he is so darn cute.

**mountain mummy** · December 4th, 2008, 01:41 PM

Dustmite - sounds like us! Same age too!

**kittykat** · December 4th, 2008, 05:20 PM

Just wondering how everyone was going to entertain the kids this school holidays. With little cash it can be hard for me to find ways to keep them happy i also have a big age gap so what is good for 3 is not good for the eldest GRRRRRRRR
