    Sorry for not posting much lately! I'm flat out getting everything organised for the new biz (which is going really well BTW ). I spent 4 1/2 hours on Saturday doing a photoshoot so I'll have nice new photos for the new website. I have someone in the US doing the website and I can't wait to see how it all turns out!

    The kids are all well. Joel went back to school today now that school hols have finished. I love having Joel home, but I don't miss all the shenanigans that come along with having him home full time haha! It's so much quieter today with just the little ones home. K and A get on so well, they're great little friends and play together really well. A put herself to bed for her nap (she scales her change table and climbs into her cot ) and K insisted on going in and saying "nigh-night" to her, nawww... A waved and said "Nigh night Kieree", I love how they love each other . Joel on the other hand can be mean to K, but dotes on A. It breaks my heart when he is mean to little K . I guess it's just a "boy" thing and Joel feels a bit territorial? He and K can have a LOT of fun too though .

    Mo - How are you finding life with three?
    Saffi - Nice to hear from you . It's funny how girls are so insistent on what they will or won't wear haha!
    Julia - How are you guys going?
    Amber - Counting down the days 'til you're in Melbs!!
    JM - How are you now you're all settled back in at the jungle?

    Better run, got to proof read some site content (*yawn*...). Talk to you all soon!

    I dunno the nurse said it's sound like reflux.
    She has all the signs but she doesn't vomit but she does possetting after each feed without fail.
    Last night she woke for her normal feed & then we spent the next 4hrs with her screaming because she wanted to comfort suck after each chuck up & of course the comfort feeding just made it worse because she would just chuck up again.
    We tried the HAB & waling around but nothing helped.
    It's was a shocker of a night.
    Going to try a dummy today & see if that helps. As much i really didn't want to go down the dummy path i can't keep giving her the boob for comfort as it just doesn't do her any good.

    I really do hope it's just a phase & she out grows it quickly.

    Yay for an iPad amber.... Not that I have one.... But I've convinced dh to get me an apple for my photography, and then I'll be after the iPad too!

    Mo - poor you I hope little Bambi gets over it quickly. The dummy should help... That's what they say! Big hugs

    Trish so nice to hear things are already starting well with your business! So exciting!

    Well I'll be back tomorrow. It's late here now! Maxys birthday tomorrow!!! Eeeek! 4 years old!!

    Been awhile since anyone has posted so thought i'd give us a bump.

    Not much happening here, Bambi is doing really well & getting so big.
    She is already more alert & smiling. I can't believe she is almost 5wks old already :O
    Maddi & Kodi are doing well, both girls have been sick but are getting better.

    Hope everyone is well
