Hello all.

Well, I don’t know how long this post will end up being because I’m at Mum and Dad’s and their computer is SO slow it’s driving me crazy! But I’ll try anyway…

Shazz – poor little Ryan with his cold. I hope that he’s feeling better soon. Is he still sleeping well?

Baby Crazy – poor little Jovi with the needles! I hope it passes soon, but I’m sure it’s normal. Charlie is usually a bit weird for a couple of days after his needles too.

Kim – glad to hear that Darcy is settling well. It makes all the difference, doesn’t it? Hooray for sleeping until 9! I hope that lasts too. 4.30 is just too early to be getting up at this time of year. Yay for shopping too – what a nice Mum you have!

Lea – sounds like Em is so cute playing with his toys. Toby is just starting to make little noises too – it’s so cute, isn’t it? Wait until you start getting laughs… you’ll do anything to get them and when you do it’s the best sound in the world.

Sheree – hope Lachie’s wind pain passes. Toby can get it really bad sometimes too. It’s hard because there’s only so much we can do to help them, the poor things. Glad you sorted out the dummy thing too. We haven’t given Toby a dummy, but when he’s got wind pain I find that sometimes putting a clean finger in his mouth to suck helps him pass the wind/poo. For some reason the sucking action works a treat.

Hello to everyone else too.

I can’t wait to look at everyone’s updated websites. Haven’t had much time on the computer lately, and I’d do it now except that this computer is horrible and slow and it would make me just want to throw it out the window. Had a nice day today, even though I wasn’t expecting to. I went for afternoon tea with my best friend who, while she is very nice, is quite self-absorbed at times. She’s always going on about how busy SHE is, and how tired SHE is, like I wouldn’t know what she’s on about. No, with two kids under two how could I possibly be stressed and tired? Never! LOL (Hang on, that sounded bad – I know she’s busy, but she makes it sound like what she’s doing is so much more important than what I’m doing, IYKWIM, and that’s what makes me cross.) So I expected that today would be more of the same and I would come away feeling bad, but it was great in the end. Toby was lovely too – he slept the whole time and let me imagine for a little while that I have a life of my own! He’s been such a good boy recently, and is so cute. I’m staying at Mum and Dad’s tonight with him, and it’s nice to have some one-on-one time with him – it’s the first time since we were in hospital that it’s just been he and I. When Charlie was little I used to stay over here about once a week to give DH a proper sleep so he could function properly at work, so I’ll probably do the same with both the kids once every week or so as well. It’s a nice break anyway – a change of scenery does us good – and my brother and his fiancé live in a granny flat out the back so I get to catch up with everyone too. Not much planned in the next week or so other than RELAXING, so that should be nice. Anyway, I’m waffling – just filling in time until Toby wakes up for his next feed (which should be anytime now) – so I’ll stop boring you! Hope you all have a lovely weekend.
