    Wow we have been busy in here!!

    Jett is supposed to be ok, He is really chesty still, i have to give him Dimetapp... It helps for a little while. If he is no better in a few days i am going to take him back.

    Jayne, Zhai is going through the hitting/biting/kicking stage too. He is also saying 'go away' and stuff like that! Not really the best thing to come out of his mouth. I dont know what to do with him, i just put him to time out, and explain that 'mummy doesnt like it please dont do it' and if he repeats do the same. (Sorry you probably know all that LOL). But that seems to work for me atm.....

    DF is loving his new job, so do i, i get time to myself!! LOL

    Jett is also going well with the teeth, they go up and down but not completely down!
    LIL i hope the move went well and Griffen starts feeding properley soon.
    KRISTY i hope you get rid of your cold soon. Sounds great about your shopping spree! Can i join you??
    SMYLIE I hope you can find something to fill your days, I dont really have enough time in the day atm, Wishing i had more. The volenteer work is rewarding. I used to do it before i had Zhai..
    RYN i am glad you survived the funeral with your PIL....

    I too think sleeping bags for Jett are wonderful! He sleeps so well in them too. He only wakes once a night these days, only because he goes to bed so early.

    I had better go and help Zhai,
    Catch up soon

    Just a very quick post, I"m trying to catch up on thelast couple of days worth. Alan broke his ankle on saturday afternoon & then we had 5 men on Saturday night/Sunday morning trying to get into our house, so have been very scared & very busy with two babies plus a husband who can't even get up to pee on his own.

    Talk soon!

    Love Jayne xox

    OMG Jayne! How terrifying that must have been!!! I hope DH recovers quickly and is up and about soon! Wish I was closer to offer some support!

    Kel - thanks for the path info. I have been slack and not looked into pathology stuff - leaving it to the docs I didn't even look at the path request slip to see what he was looking for! Normally I always look at it! Not sure why people take poop in gladwrap - I got given two jars for Abbey and I know when we ask adults to do them we give them a bucket with a red lid that has a bag inside...

    Kristy - Congrats on the wins! Can you get Erin to have a chat to Abbey about sleeping? Abbey is all over the shop - as soon as she gets a pattern it changes! But at the moment she is sleeping from about 11:30 - approx 6-7! I hope the cold's pass quickly and it's good to hear that Erin isn't being too bothered by it.

    Jen - I hope Jett gets better soon. Must be taxing on you. Hopefully Zhai will stop those little things soon for you too I forgot to congratulate you on DH's new job! Good to hear he is enjoying it! How are YOU doing?

    Just a super quick one from me girls - this is the first chance I've had to get online all day and HAD to share!!!

    Abbey slept through last night!!!! WOOHOO!!!!! She went to bed about 7:30pm and woke at 8:30 with a pooey nappy then right back to sleep and didn't wake until 4 - and that was because she had wiggled UP the cot and was cold! Quickly pulled her back down under the covers and she slept for another hour then woke for a feed and then I had to waker her up at 7:30 to take DH to work!!!!!!! WOOHOO! Let's hope we get a repeat tonight!

    Hey Guys,
    Just letting you know I'm still around, I do almost get through the posts each day, but then of course somethign happens like Alan needs a drink of water, Jessica has fallen over or Claudia needs a feed & then I have to get off the computer! LOL.
    I'm going alright considering I"m doing everythign myself & Alan is in lots of pain so I'm trying to keep him comfy as well.
    I don't like coming online at night at the moment because I'm still scared from the weekend. The people haven't come back but I'm still nervous especially knowign that Alan is as useless as tits on a bull to me atm! LOL. hehehe
    Anyway, Claudia is just fantastic. Almost rolling over & she can now blow raspberries! So gorgeous. She has her tongue out her mouth all damn day, she's like a lizard! It's so gorgeous though & since Alan has been home he's been holding her heaps which is nice for her & for me. Also, Jessica is right into her little sister atm so she is jiggling toys in front of her & talkign to her which helps me out when I'm trying to do dinner & stuff.

    RYN _ I hope the sleep issue is sorting itself out honey. I know it's no fun. Maybe you shoudl just let him continue to sleep during the day, because sleep feeds sleep & maybe his mind isn't switching off at night time because he's overstimulated? I don't know, but I guess at the moment any suggestion is worth a go.

    SMYLIE _ I hope your'e feeling better honey. I know how you feel, it's not a nice feeling either, my weight in the vicinity of yours as well & I feel like a beluga whale on a good day. I don't know if this is out of line & please don't take offence, but do you think another baby atm is going to take your troubles away?

    I'm sorry for no other personals, Jessica is on my lap & she is fighting me for the keyboard. Man she has been naughty yesterday. She poured RED nail polish all over my bedspread & I know you're all reading this saying how did she get nail polish? Well I certainly dont' leave it laying around, it's in a drawer that is taller than her, right up the very top & she scaled my chest of drawers to get to the drawer & then found it in there. Then she went & got all her crayons & drew all over the tiles in the kitchen floor. it's funny today but I was a dragon yesterday!! I'm also over being the mum & the dad & the nurse, I know I can't change the situation, but it's damn well tiring!

    Ok, I better go now, I have people coming for dinner to try & cheer alan up.

    Love Jayne xox

    Super quick post as on way out to get DH...

    Kristy - not a MAJOR difference although they are a little bigger - but should still be ok to wrap around if they are a bit bigger. We had to put Abbey in them because the newborn's were cutting in. If you're not too sure, maybe get a small pack and trial one? I'd send you one but Abbey is on the next size up from that now!

    Girls, I definately jinxed myself - Abbey had an awful night's sleep last night!!! Refused to go to bed until 10:30 and then woke at 2:30 and again at 6!!!!!!! Hoping for a better night tonight....

    Have to run but will try to come back later for personals and also to update on her issues....

    Love MG

    Hey Ladies,

    SMYLIE _ We had a dog, a 55kg Rhodesian Ridgeback, we had her for 3 years, until when Jessica was 11 months old, she bit her face. I don't care if it was intentional or deliberate but she snapped at one of us & so unfortunately I had to have her put down. jessica has a tiny scar on her face, but absolutely tiny in comparison to the damage she could have caused. She was the guard dog of all guard dogs but absolutely super sweet to me, she also guarded Jessica really well, like she'd sleep at the opening of her door or if she was lying on the floor, Poppie would be right next to her & if people who she didn't know went to pick Jessica up she'd growl. She had bit 2 people prior to snapping @ Jess, but that wasn't her fault, it was people being stupid coming to the door & I'd have her on a lead & I'd say 'dont' touch the dog, she will bite you' & they go 'oh not me, i love dogs, i have dogs of my own, no dogs ever snap around me' saying this while they reach out to pat her & she snapped. But anyway, to cut a long story a bit shorter, I won't be getting another dog until Claudia is probably 3 or 4. We are thinking of an alarm system though. I'm a bit nervous tonight, because it was last Saturday night when we had the trouble.

    How is princess Jemima? Just gorgeous as usual I assume. Has she forgotten about the night feeding again? I bet you were spewing when she decided she'd like a top up during the night!

    KRISTY _ Alan is sore & sorry for himself & realising just how much hard work two small children are! How are you going? What a good girl Erin is putting herself to sleep, I'm starting to try that with Claudia too, I am putting her down just as her eyes are starting to close & she is going off to sleep the rest herself, I'll gradually decrease the rocking until she can do it by herself. She is no trouble though, but I think if I teach her to self-settle she will be better in the car & the pram.

    RYN _ Get ready to baby proof your house! It won't be long & Liebling will be on the move BIG TIME! How is his sleep going now?

    MG _ I hope cheeky Abbey has decided to let you have some more sleep! You poor chook, that can't be fun at all. Is she mega grumpy durign the day if she hasn't slept well at night?

    EVE _ Geepers, what are you giving Adele to warrant 11 hours of sleep! OMG you must be on cloud nine! Good on you, keep up the great work!

    IMPATIENT _ I'm not a fan of dummies either, however, Jessica had one for 11 months, but Claudia thankfully hasn't needed one but if you need to use one to get your Little Miss to sleep easier, then use it! They weren't invented just for fun!

    ME _ Well I better go, my 3 babies are fast asleep, I think! Claudia is DEF asleep, Alan is DEF asleep & Jessica is on the couch rugged up like an eskimo watching a dvd so I assume she is asleep now too as I can't hear any movement! WOO HOO! I'm having a night off in the kitchen tonight & ordering pizza. How bad is this, I don't even have any cash in my wallet so I have to do it online! LOL. There is a fair at the end of our street tomorrow, face painting, stage shows, animal patting & all the rest of it so I have found some loose change & put it in Jessica's hand bag & promised her she can have her face painted tomorrow. it's really cruddy weather though, so I hope we can get out in it!

    Love ME
