Di- this is a great book - 100 ways to calm the crying by Pinky McKay. But don't bother reading it until you get a bit of a break for yourself and some support from MCHN. That's what they're there for.

I just wanted to pop in to say I had a great day today!!
Went to the open day at Vic Uni and it was good. I came away feeling quite positive about the whole thing. I mean it is competetive and what not but I feel very good about it and looking around the room I thought..I stand just as good a chance as any of these girls here of getting in!
But she made the whole course sound totally fantastic and I am really excited about it! I did forget to ask some of my questions but she gave her email address out with a brochure so I will just email her. YAY!!!
Tyra got her ears pierced yesterday and was very brave. She said ouch and was ready to cry..but the promise of an ice-cream was stronger than the pain evidently lol.
Oh and DH sorted out the neighbours. Long story but basically they were in the yard about 7am and DH went out there to survey damage from the party they had last night. There were glass bottles in our yard!!! So DH went up to the fence and said "Oi, whats with all these bottles?" And threw them back over their side. Then proceeded to tell them in a very forceful way that if he ever caught them harassing the dog again there would be hell to pay. I am putting it quite nicely too I might add. They denied it and aplogised. DH made them aware that it was not good enough and wont be tolerated and that was their first and final warning.
They were absolutely packing themselves. Interestingly Jess hasnt barked all day!!
He made them very aware of the kids we have and how dangerous it was and how good would they feel if they hurt or killed a pet of a 5 year old little girl..or even worse still..hurt a child! They seemed to respond so we will see how it goes.
I am still going to have a word to the mother so she is aware and then just have the cops number handy if anything else happens.
Fingers crossed all the crap stops cos it's been going on for a very long time and I am beyond over it.
Ok I better go. I want to do some tidying up before tackling dinner. My god I am sooooooooooooooooo tired today!
hi Lisa, glad you had a fab time at the open day and are feeling very positive about it all. Sounds like you might have the neighbours under control... hope so!
Well, I'm pretty tired, too, and have told myself that I must go to bed early tonight. So, just a short post and I will catch you all later.

Hi all. Sorry it has been such a loooong time since I last posted. We have been one very busy family. Our social life is so much busier now we have kids than what it was prior. Plus my work and DH's work - just a really busy time for us.
On aplus though, Declan and Rylee have been great. They are such good kids. Although we had a really rough time at the start, things are a realpleasure now. We still haveour moments but allin all they are great. Declan and Rylee are eating their solids reallywell. They have their 3 meals aday and eat whatever we eat, so that makes it easier. They are in 00 to 0 clothing now too. They have dropped a sleep during the day - so only 2 day sleeps now - but are still sleeping all night. They go to bed at 6.30pm, we wake them at 9.30pm for a top up and then they sleep through until about 7-7.30am. So we really feel like we are in some sort of a routinewhere we know what we are doing and the babies know what they are doing.
As Imentioned we haev been socially very busy, which means we have been out at night on a few occasions. The babies have still gone to bed at their normal time and have been a real pleasure while we have been out.
Also things just this last week have been exciting as we have had 2 +ve pg tests. I am about to go to the docs now for a blood test. This was a real shock but great all the same as we were told that it would be unlikely that we would ever fall pg naturally. But I will fill you all in once I am back from the docs and know the results of my blood test.
Chat soon.
PS sorry I have not had time to read all the posts. Will try to catch up.
OMG Tam! wow! congrats! :confetti:
Lisa, YAY on having a great open day and having the course confirmed as being the one for you. You'll get in, I can feel it in my waters!
Dianna, I hope you're doing OK (well I hope BJ is settling down, you are just reacting to him). Have you been able to get in touch with someone who might be able to offer some help?
to let you guys know that my FIL passed away at 10.00am this morning during heart surgery.
I wont be around much this week
Yael
Oh Yael I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and Rob.
Sal thanks for the well wishes
Yael, I'm so sorry. I hope you can Rob can provide support for each other.

Will do Sal as soon as I find out.
I also just updated Rylee and Declan's website with their 7mth photos.
Tam, Declan and Rylee are just gorgeous! Love the outfits they are wearing, too. They really look like brother and sister don't they!
Just locking this thread now!
