Hi girls

Great to hear from you Flossie. Sounds like you are slowly getting better and you are doing a fantastic job with Olivia. You are just amazing with your feeding routine.

Bridie - thasnks for the mintie tip - like you said if anything else it is an excuse to eat lollies - although I know I wont be able to stop at 2-3.

Nicky - yay for a chubby bubba - he is obviously a huge fan of breast milk!! Well done.

Me - not much new to report. Oliver and Jesse are in childcare today so it has been a lovely, quiet day. Charlotte has been sleeping well - usually 10pm - 3,.30am then a feed then back to sleep until between 6 - 7am. Although in saying that last night she was a bit unsettled - but I cant complain. Jesse had grommets put in his ears yesterday - he is totally back to his usual cheerful self but it was still a bit traumatic for him (at least for a short while). DH went into the theatre with him when he was put under and even DH said it was pretty hard to see this happen ( I knew I would have been a wreck hence DH going in) and then we were told we had to wait in his room and they would bring him down from recovery when he woke up which I wasnt all that happy about as I wanted to be there the minute he opened his eyes but DH said it would be OK (I think he thought I would be more of a hindrance than a help as he knew I would be teary) so after the procedure the nurse bought him back to his room and he was beside himswelf. It took me at least 20 minutes to get him to stop sobbing - it was like he was really confused and didnt know what was going on. I must admit it made me a bit teary as well but I was still annoyed that I couldnt be there when he first woke up. But after a short nap on my knee he was fine. It was only a very minor procedure and it was bad enough seeing him go through it - I cannot imagine how children/parents cope when there is something seriously wrong - I guess they do cope becasue they have to. But it is all good now.

Well I had best run and make the most of the last hour I have before picking O and J up from cc.

Take care everyone
Jem
