Jen so glad to hear from you. It sounds like your blissfully enjoying motherhood! The boys sound like they are doing great.

Azza glad to hear your boys are doing so well.

I would have to agree with you Jen - i don't think this journey (so far - touch wood!!) has been as bad as i imagined!

Everything is going well here! I would love for them to feed closer to 4 hourly rather than 3!! They are eating large amounts, putting on weight, they never cry unless they are super hungry and even then it's only for a min or 2. I am struggling a little with what to do when one wakes and is hungry right on 3 hours but the other is fast asleep. I wake the other and feed them so they stay on a similar schedule but quite often the one that is still asleep took longer to settle in the first place so i feel bad for waking him - any suggestions!!

The other question i have is i'm teahing them to self settle so they always go to bed awake but sometimes one or both are still awake after an hour or so - they arn't crying or even really grizzling i can just hear them nattering and grunting (they are wide awake though) i dont know weather to go in and try to get them to sleep or just leave them be??? I don't want to get into the habit of having to settle them but at the same time if one doesn't fall asleep for an hour i'm waking him to feed because the other one has woken and is hungry - i hope this question makes sense!

I feel great - a little more sleep would be nice but hey! We are managing to get out for walks and DH hired me a tredmill so i get on that and sing away to my ipod and it makes me feel so much better (it's only 15/20 min but it's a start!) DH is wonderful - and taking great care of me!

Merry Christmas everyone - what a great Christmas this year is!!.
