Hi ladies,

Hope all you sickies start to feel better really soon, except you Kristie - a little morning sickness may help you get through to the next scan without stressing too much - I will be thinking of you.

I also have one baby with no teeth yet - Kaylee.
Amber has 4 and has gone from starting to crawl to pulling up on everything in just over a week.
Kaylee is still playing catchups, but has almost got the hang of crawling now, although she does fall back on the commando crawl a bit if she feels she is moving too slowly.

Amber has been the first to do just about everything, including being born first, but Kaylee has acheived the most important thing first - sleeping through! She has been sleeping 10 and 1/2 - 11 hours every night for over a month now - Amber still wakes at least once a night for a drink, I'm guessing thats why she weighed half a kilo more than Kaylee at the last weight in.

I am still breastfeeding and they are both feeding well on their solids now and are pretty much having what we are and I try to have a mixture of stuff that we feed them from a spoon and finger food at each meal.

I have been MIA for a while as I have been busy (just for a change), but also had to have a tooth pulled during the school holidays as my body had started to absorb it from the roots up. Following the extraction it got infected and I ended up with a dry socket, which was extemely painful. I can definately recommend not having this done - especially when you have 4 kids in tow with your 11 year old son leaning over you saying - "does it hurt Mum?" and "whats that bit?", "you're bleeding a lot", etc, etc

Anyway, I am typing this with Amber on my knee and I need to go and wake Kaylee up to go and get my eldest daughter from the bus stop and then start the sports runs.

I'll try not to be too much of a stranger, although we are just starting to look at our childcare options for me to go back to my full 2 and a half days a week.

Take care all
Shell
