Hi all!! Ah, gotta love BF babies who just lie on your lap and let you type LOL!! Flynn is asleep so better type while the iron is hot, so to speak

Thanks all for the congratulations on Oliver's birth! For those who have had more than one did you have the same calm rather than elated feeling that I did? I though maybe I was a bit odd at first but decided to go with it.

Jaspen - I HATE losing posts - if I do a long one I always save in word as I go. AND CONGRATS ON THE PREGNANCY!!!!

Mel - work seems so far away for me ATM, but I am already starting to look forward to going back. How wierd is that! I guess once the pg hormones are gone you feel a bit more normal.

Tali - don't worry bout the spelling I am like that with numbers, seriously. I often have to dial numbers over to get them right and swear I am dislexic with numbers like some people are with words.

Ali - ditto on congrats on things being boring - just what you want And that so sucks about the HWS!!

Julie - your tooth stories make me shudder about having 2 boys!!! I can just imagine how they can egg eachother on, too. I have all these visions of Flynn convincing Ollie to do dangerous/naughty stuff LOL!

Bath - hugs to you on feeling so down the other day I actually acted for the woman who started Find a Babysitter when it first started - she is lovely! Her site is top notch and she really takes it seriously. She is a mum with 2 kids and started it cause she had probs finding reliable sitters. I think you would find someone suitable - most of em are uni students doing teaching or childcare.

Maya - congrats on passing!!!

Jess - your DH is a hun to make you dinner

Well life with 2 is pretty good so far. I am actually starting to believe that lightning can strike twice, as Oliver is extremely placid. I know he is only a week old but so far he pretty well eats and sleeps, isn't a spewy baby and burps really well so fingers crossed he isn't colicky. Flynn is doing well - he alternates between ignoring Oliver and patting him gently then whacking him with excitement, and even touches Ollie's forehead with his own - his sign for "I like you". I completely know it is going to be up and down from here on it, though, but it seems the close gap is working well.

Olilver is feeding 2-4 hourly and at night is doing 11pm, 3pm, and 6-7am feeds, so I am getting a bit of Seaon One of "ER" watched in the wee hours. A friend is coming over today who promised to lend me the complete box set of "Sex and the City" so that should be great.

And this morning I am off to get photos taken of the boys at our local chemist - for $5 they do posed dress-up photos - last year I had Flynn in a basket dressed as an elf. It was a complete crack up LOL!!
