hi girls,

gosh lots of new faces in here, its great to see ! welcome njd

Reenie: i was wondering what was happening with you because i had a quick look at your facebook page and you didnt sound too happy about something ! you sound like you have so much going on, good on you for starting uni at such a busy time and with such little children, how long will the course take you ? hows things with DH ? James is a different boy during the day, he is generally in a great mood and loves to laugh out loud a lot (something i havent been able to say much) nights still arent good, he wakes anywhere between 1.5-3 hours, never really much more of a stretch than that.

Laura: i forgot to mention in my post that the ear infection is something my 2 year old daughter has, we have had a really back run of sickness lately but kids bounce back really quickly and she is chatting away in her room as i type this still awake so we are back to normal lol
also i had a really quick labour (my first was induced, i have really complicated pregnancies, and that was quick so i suspected this time would be quicker) i had a check up at the hospital at about 1pm at just over 37 weeks and was having period pain then, came home got in the bath for a bit (luckily my mum was here minding my DD) and called for my hubby to come home from work and by the time he got here (about 330pm) they really hit me, we got to the hospital at 355pm and James was born at 423pm, think my hubby was a tad nervous driving there that we werent going to make it in time !
i remember my DD being distracted when feeding around this age, they are just so much more aware of other things going on it seems hard to concentrate at the job at hand lol

njd: we wont be starting solids until 6 months, we have a family history of asthma and allergies (hay fever etc) so thats my reasoning behind it, although James is very interested when we eat around him !

Luey: poor E (do you use his initial because you dont want his whole name on BB ?) its so hard when they cant tell you what the problem is, i hope things continue to improve for you with the mylanta. i rang tresillian today to confirm my referral (seriously how ridiculous that i had to do that) and the next step is i have to have a phone interview with them next wed (i have to call them for that too !) and then i guess form there they decide how urgent it is i get into one of the residential units ! clearly they make it so difficult for a reason....????!!!! i still think we would benefit going (although things are MUCH improved on what they were) he slept 3 hours straight this afternoon but nights are bad so im not sure i will go through with the whole upheaval going to stay for a week will cause here (ie hubby taking a week off work or sending DD to grandparents, which i wouldnt do for the whole week)

Hayley: good to hear from you, i hope things with DH are ok, you cope amazingly well with 4 little ones ! yes we should meet up one of these days !

hi Nina

Andie: would love to see some pics of Cam at the christening when you have time


Catherine: thanks for the hugs ! good to hear you weren't diagnosed with PCOS


Bec will still be missing with computer problems for a bit longer but Jake is doing ok and she is going well with relactating, she will have a new email address when she gets back and she asked me to tell you all so i will send you all an email privately for you to update your list(to the new girls, we also contact each other via email, mostly to share photos of our cherubs but also as a back up when BB isn't working well, so if you girl want to be added to the email list just PM me your email addresses and i will add you on and send you everyone elses address)

i better get tidying up and to bed while the little one is sleeping !
