    OMG....FINALLY a break. John just took Maddy for a ride in the car to pick his mum up from the train station. She has been so clingy today, I haven't had a moment to myself seriously; especially as she wouldn't go down for a nap at all! I wish her teeth would just hurry up and break through because she's so bothered by her gums at the moment.

    I have never been so glad I cooked dinner the night before than what I was today. I would have had a screaming child the whole time, but instead i just had to reheat the fritatta & steam the vegies. *phew*

    Gonna go treat myself to a coffee and relax for the 20mins before they're back home.

    Beck, I hope you got a few minutes to yourself! Nothing like just having to heat some dinner up!! I think I'll have to try that recipe, I saw it on the recipe thread. Might try your new way as well!!
    I forgot to tell you the names I had in mind for coco. Boy was definitely Jasper Sean, although I did also like Elijah. For a girl we had Stella (she was going to be Stella Rainbow, wanted something a bit different), Ruby, Tia, Roxy or Rory (Rory for boy or girl actually)!!

    Dani, can't help you with the milk sitch, but what teat are you on? Im using avent for her bottle feed and we're on number 3. I tried the alternate one 1-3 and it was awful. Also tried 4 and it was way too fast. Is that what you mean? I will be sticking with Three.
    Im sure the formula is fine to use after 6 months, as he will be getting nutrition from food as well, although I don't know so don't take my word!!
    Wishing everyone a very nice peaceful and sound sleep tonight!!

    Hey ladies, will be back later for a bigger message & personals as we're off to see Maddy's cousins in Ipswich today! Hope you all had a good night!

    Maddy wasn't too bad, she slept on her tummy in her port-a-cot from 8pm-2:15am,had a feed and then we both feel asleep in our bed til 5am. Then she fed and fell asleep again. We got up at 7:30am and she spent the last hour of that in her port-a-cot again. Her Grandma also brought her back a really cool sleeping bag from NZ which she slept in. Went out like a light actually! *LOL*

    Hey all! Man I am having a hard time keeping up with you guys!

    Meg so glad you got a good nights sleep! Yay for Coco!

    Beck sorry Maddy is super clingy! I know how you feel! Sometimes Abby screams if she sees me walking out of the room! Today was ok, but she has a high pitched gurgling scream/squeel, and she did it when she was happy, excited, sad, and mad today so I heard it allll day long! I thought I would just go mad!

    Dani Thanks for signing Abbys guestbook! I cant wait to see Jetts page! I use the fastest nipples for Abby's bottles. BUT I also add rice cereal to her milk because of her reflux, so I guess that is no help...sorry! What kind of trouble are you having putting his pictures on the site? Are they too big (file size) maybe?

    Tiggy love the new ticker! How darling are your twins!!! Dont feel bad about weening Ivy. It sounds like that was best for her at this point! Good job on sticking with it for this long, I dont know how you did it with twins! I gave up on the breast early on and I have been pumping and giving Abby expressed breastmilk since she was just 1 week! Whatever works for your child!

    Melly, just checked out Logans new site! AWEEEE! He is getting so big! I love his swimsuit! How adorable! I cant believe he is getting more teeth! Abby has been teething for a month and no teeth at all yet!

    CAN U ALL BELIEVE MY ABBY IS 5 MONTHS OLD?? Where does the time go, yall? It seemed just yesterday we were all

    You all have a GREAT day!!!!

    Happy 5 months Abby!!! TIme has absolutely flown, we've got 6 months coming up in a week!!
    I just rang and booked in a week stay at tresillian (kind of sleep/routine school). Prob won't get in for a month or two, but I am OVER it. Coco had night from hell last night and woke about 5 times. Im just not coping well on the occassional good night sleep. I am so tired and grumpy. made worse by a whole lot of other crap, such as nits, sore bum (sorry but it is not improving), not being able to sell, daughter with rash still hanging about and nits, husband who is hardly here due to work and uni.
    Ok, having a bad day,but had to get it out. Thanks for listening.
    gotta run and change the girl. she had a crap night and only a 29 minute sleep this morning. GGGGRRRRRRRRR
    hope everyone is doing better than us! xoxoox

    Have fun at your footy party Beck!! Hope Maddy sleeps for you. Little devil not sleeping today! Always the way when daddy is home, party time!
    Tilly is just reading a book to Coco. Very cute, but coco is getting stroppy. There's only so many books she can read to her before Coco starts to lose the plot! (it is after 5pm, to be expected). Anyway, better get the bath ready.
    Have a good sleep everyone. I dropped a letter to the newsagents this afternoon, lets hope the delivery guy is quite and doesn't want revenge adn get louder!!

    Hello Ladies,
    Hope you are all doing very well. Thanks for all of you prayers and thoughts for my cousin and the family. He is still on life support and I guess that he will remain there until my Aunty and Uncle have the strength to turn it off. It is the only thing keeping him alive, he is not going to get better but it is going to be so hard for them.
    Again thanks heaps, you are all a great bunch of Girlies…
    Anyway want to hear something funny…. I went to the doctors to get my stiches taking out and guess what they are dissolvable. What an idiot, no one told me that, they just said make an appointment in 10 days time.
    Meg – I know what you mean about the paper, we get ours delivered and they throw it that hard that it hits the house with a thud. It makes the dogs bark and that wakes him up, one big circle.
    Meg he has the longest lashes it is not funny. His dad has very long ones, I one put mascara on Ben’s and it looked like they were fake they were that long, no fair.
    I am glad Coco has long lashes cause I only ever see boys with them so it is about time the correct sex got allocated them. Bless her.
    Beck – Forgive me but is state of origin rugby? I am from Victoria and it is AFL town around here, Jett and I go for the Cats as we and they are from Geelong.
    Happy Birthday Maddy.
    Sarajo – hope you liked Jett’s site, I loved checking out Abby’s she is such a cutie. Drop me an email when you up date it, I love looking at them all. We are all blessed to have such good-looking kids. Sarajo don’t worry about sleeping in we all have too, I am lucky if I get dressed before 12 noon everyday, Today I did and I felt great.
    Mel – Jett never goes anywhere without a bib, it is a pain sometimes cause he has some really cute tops but they are always covered by bibs. I find that they have to be plastic backed cause he gets so wet from all of the drool.
    I bet that if I let my dogs inside that they would steal Jett’s as well, they used to come into sleep but I got stick of vacing the hair up all of the time.
    I love Logan’s new ticker, it is fantastic.
    What a great sleep!!! Bet you were happy with that Mel. Have you been to a sleep clinic thing?
    Tiff – Your babies are just so cute, it would be hard to get a shot of the two of them together as they both properly want to do their own thing.
    What is bubsincharacter I have never heard of it??
    Not sure if I mentioned before that I took Jett to the Chiropractor for his sleeping issues. We were having 2 sessions a week, it did help and he was out of alignment. They say that if caesarean babies don’t have a compressed spine because they are not pushed out.
    How did it go??
    Hope everyone else is doing great.
    Take Care
    Goodnight

    11:00 * 118-177.4
    2:00 * 118-177.4
    5:00 * 118-177.4
    8:00 * 118-177.4
    10:30 * 118-177.4

    Edited to add: Hey Dani! Abby has 5 bibs wherever she goes since she spits up and drools so much! For pictures its take the bib off ...click...hurry put it back on! lol! I'll have to add you to my email list to get all abbys new pics and videos! You have a good night sleep! Im just getting up! lol!
