Hi everyone!

Glad to hear your meet-ups went well! You should take a group photo one day and post it for the rest of us to see!

Had a busy day today getting out of the house visiting people. I was going a bit nuts and decided to bite the bullet and just get out of here! I saw my little niece who is now two weeks old, I haven't seen her since the day she was born so it was nice to see her awake.

Joel has been an absolute nightmare with keeping everyone awake (yes I said Joel, not Kieran!). When he goes to bed he likes to hum, chant, sing, etc... for a while as a way of winding down. He used to only do this for maybe 10 minutes then go to sleep. Otherwise we could just tell him to stop and he would. Well, now that Kieran has arrived he is using it as an attention thing (even if it is negative attention) and will do it at the top of his lungs. I tried to have a nap at 8pm last night and couldn't sleep because Joel was so loud. We went in numerous times and offered bribery then threats (!), but he continued for an hour and a half!! I was in tears from getting no rest. This morning I put Kieran down at 6am after his feed and hopped back into bed, half an hour later Joel woke up and started his chanting (he does this when he wakes too...sigh...). I nearly cried again! So anyway, I am feeling a bit mental right now. Luckily DH bribed him with a ride on his skateboard tomorrow if he is quiet and he hasn't made a noise tonight!!

Ahh...sorry about my rant, I just needed to get it off my chest! Right now both boys are in bed and DH has gone out to play in a tennis grand final so it is nice to have some time to myself. I would go have a nap, but Kieran is a bit windy tonight and I keep having to go in and settle him. Oh well, it's better than Joel's chanting!

Have a great evening everyone. Sleepy vibes to all!
