MIA here too, did a really quick skim of the posts.
Posted in the 'due late Aug' thread bit earlier today & added a milestone & some preggy pics to www (can't see swelling much in pics).
Holly took 1 step to me Wed night, at Grandma's, DH missed it though, she was holdin onto a chair, took 1 step to me then dived at me, hehe. She's just the love of our lives, but tonight is staying at someone else's house for the night (1st time), at nana's, so miss her, but needed my rest, long story, some of it in my milestones in www. Back to hosp again at 9am, hate the ED. Lost hrs of sleep with Holly's croup, then bought (room) vapouriser & she slept without coughing (except wld woke at 2:30pm coughing but go back to sleep), now loosin more sleep with this bloody ear infec.

Hope the surgery goes well for Em Theresa.

OMG Sush, that is so not fair for lil Charlie & for u to have to watch him, feeling helpless, hope it's just a short lived asthma, DH had asthma as a child.

Welcome Jesabell.

Jacci, Holly always gets that nappy rash when she teeths, I try not to wipe too hard with the wipes, use Canestan & 'Zinc & Castor' oil cream. I'm using the Herron one now, as goes on very smooth, the Sudocream was quite thick & wouldn't stick to the blood/broken areas.

Hi all

Milk - started adding a bit @ 9 months (only coz i checked in 'Babylove' by robin barker) Sarah has been fully on cows milk 4 what feels like ages.

Teeth - Sarah has 4 top 2 bottom and 4 molars but there is one coming @ the bottom.

Walking - Wednesday she got the confidence 2 stand up in the middle of a room with nothing to hang onto but hasn't stepped out yet. She will b walking b4 dh gets home tho - she's got 3 more weeks.

Talking - no more new words but walking down the dog food aisle doing the shopping she was pointing and saying d,d,d,d, at all the packets.

Nappy rash - we have had both thrush and nappy rash one after the other for the past couple of weeks. Canesten for thrush, pawpaw ointment for nappy rash - 2 days 4 nappy rash to clear.

Bed - No way sarah is going into a single till she absolutely has to. twins run in the fam so it might help to have 2 cots in the future. dont really need them both @ the same time again.

Pregnancy - 13 weeks to go! gone so fast! picking Sarah up is really hurting my back now so sometimes I have to let her sit on the floor and makes me feel so mean.

Dummy - So far still dummy free unless she wakes in the middle of the night (very unusal) and I dont want to stay up with her. Much cheaper than being constantly plugged and good for speech development too.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

To all of us (including u abs coz without u jen wouldn't b a mum)

Hope most of u got brekky in bed or at least a sleep in.

Food - so much cheaper now that i can give something like a ****tail pasty insteat if a tin. I dont cook proper meals as often as I should 4 us so I usually take the easy way out, I'm just too tired.

Think that catches me up. wow thats a long post!
