    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

    Question How much and how often are your feeds? I feel like I give Abby a bottle after most peoples babies are already in bed! Her feeds go like this:

    8:00 * 177.4 ml
    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!

    Sara, I have gotten frustrated keeping an eye on Logan's feeds, but most days every 3 - 4 hours day or night. Last night he did very well and didn't feed for about 10hours at night since he slept lol, and he's been a bit fussy today as well.. But usually he's waking up 3 or 4 times a night for a feed. So at least Abby isn't like him

    Dani, I do try to keep bibs with me, but I've been a bit "low" lately so very muddle-headed. I was kicking myself that I had forgotten his bib. Felt like such a fool LOL. Oh well, I now make sure I always have a few bibs and changes of clothes in his bag for when we go out. But thank you for letting me know.
    We went to a sleep clinic thing yesterday. Tonight is a bad night, he won't let me put him in his cot. I don't want to make him since he's still a little sick I think, so I'm gonna go give him a cuddle for a while.

    hi guys.
    Sarajo, I can't help, our feeds are all over the place!! I probably feed her once or twice in the night, then when I get up in morning (plus solids) then twice through the day, then solids nad milk at 5pm, then bottle at 7pm. Im going to put her to bed early tonight as our nights are just getting worse and I have a feeling she is just overtired at night and that is the problem. It all seemed to start when she cut out her last sleep at afternoon time. Mum said night terrors are common in overtired babies, so maybe that's it. She woke up screaming 3 times last night and I could NOT resettle her. I ended up feeding most of the night and didn't sleep.
    I will try anything, so tonight she's going to bed at 6pm instead of 7pm and I'll see if that makes any difference. I've had her in her cot this morn for over an hour and still no sleep, I think again she is just way overtired.
    gotta run, time to get some cleaning done
    PS delivery guy left a message in foyer "dear customers, I have to leave the papers near the letterboxes now as someone has complained"!!! Why he didn't leave them there always is beyond me, they're undercover and only about 10 metres away from front door. Thank goodness, just hope he keeps it up. And it was lucky, I JUST got Coco to sleep before he arrived, and would have SPEWED if he'd woken her. xo
