Hi ladies,

Jen, the symptoms for Lily's ears that I really noticed were that she was really off balance and falling over alot, as well as her pulling and poking at them. She'd been pulling them for ages but I put that down to teething, but when she started falling over all the time, I took her to the dr. The ENT said that glue ear has few symptoms and can be asymptomatic. So she'd had it for a fair while before I picked up on it
Lucky you with Beau sleeping til 7, I wish Lily would sleep til 6! She's still waking at 5am even with Day light savings now...I am sooo not a morning person. And put together with gettingup to her once or twice a night as well as feeding Liam 2-3 times a night I'm barely sleeping, averaging about 4 hrs a night. It really sucks!

Mel, you're good having your hossy bags packed already, I didn't do mine til about 38wks with Liam!
We have just brought Lily a bed, I don't know how we're going to go though she's been a bi upset just with it in her room and the furniture moved around.
I hope Olivias hips are ok. And I'm sure bub will be fine. She's a different bub to Olivia!! But if it does happen you will be fine. You just do what has to be done.
Hope you had a nice weekend away.

Kaz, I usually bath Lily every 2nd day, and that's only cause I have to wash her hair! But she's developed a big phobia with the bath lately and needs coaxing to get into it.

Kris, happy bday to Louis! Wow he's getting so big. I love 3, it's such a lovely age where they are so curios and are learning to be so independant!

As for us, well we are still struggling with sleeping. DH has had night shift the past few nights and last night he went out and stayed at his friends place for the night. Of course those are the nights the kids play up...the other night I went to bed at 10.30 but didn't manage to actually get to sleep til 3am, then Lil was awake at 5am. 2 hrs sleep....about 6 in 48hrs. I am soooo tired, but I think I'm getting insomnia cause when I try to go to sleep for a nap, my mind won't stop and I just can't sleep, thinking that one of the kids will wake soon anyway, so why bother?
Liam has been pretty good these past few days, except last night, he was really unsettled for hours, just screaming. I'm pretty sure he had wind cause he was farting like no tomorrow through the night! He's getting really big and is definately out of 000's now. He's smiling all the time and is trying very hard to chat, it's so cute to watch.
Lily is being really cheeky, both cute cheeky and naughty cheeky. She's ben biting DH and I a bit, as well as hitting and scratching. I don't know what made her start it, but it's getting tiring saying 'no' to her all the time. She's pushing boundaries alot lately. To be expected I guess....
Ok gotta go, hope everyone is well and had a great weekend!
