Here I am on night shift, gotta keep awake!

Nelle, I hope they are settlign down for you. I love that advice of your mums. I'll be taking note of that when I get around to having number 2.

Helen- How you doing? Still getting alot m/s?

Belle, thats a good question I never thought of that but Helens suggestion of asking family not to come in til such a time sounds like a good idea.

Jodi, I bet you'll be fine tomor. Does Nina like coloring in? I always find if I need to sit Ash down while I do something I set her up at her table with crayons and coloring book or even just blank paper.

well 8.5 hours to go til I finish! Df had to take sick day from work tomor so I'll be able to sleep. Going to my nana's to sleep so I don't have to drive over west gate in peak hour traffic.

Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely make a packed lunch for Nina and have it in the fridge.
We had a good night, with Emily only waking at midnight and 4 for a feed. She's still asleep now, so I'll make this short.

belle - Heath bought Nina up to the hospital mid morning the day I had Emily. She was in absolute awe of her. All she wanted to do was give her cuddles and kisses. She spent about an hour or two up the hospital, then Heath took her home, and they came up again that night. As I'd prepared Nina for a baby coming, she sort of had the idea. And she hasn't once tried to look for the baby in my belly. She must realise the baby is out now.

Jodi - I just wanted to wish you well for today, you will be fine hun, have confidence that you are a great mum, take it one hour at a time and just do only the bare necessity to get through the day as long as everyone is fed and has clean bums and take away for dinner for sure. I am sure it feels very daunting, I feel scared by it myself. Lots of activities close at hand for Nina and things to snack on while Emily is feeding. Good on Emily for only feeding a couple of times during the night, that is great as she is just a newbie. We forget how what an intense period the newborn stage is now that our Sept 06 bubs are so much more independent....

Okay girls, gotta go to gymbaroo, leave in 45 mins and me and Rylee are still in our pj's.

Aaron went to work as soon as i came home..Not much help there but thats what happens when you own your business.I did make him get me a coffee and some toast and millana some toast/milk before he left.I also didnt bother to do his laundry. I think some decent sleep and if the baby was unsettled a walk would do wonders. A slow cooker was my life saver.When ruby was asleep and millana was happy id chuck something on!! If i had tea orgainised i wa happy.

Jodi- best of luck today, please dont expect to much from yourself. food is all you need, You and nina can have a jama day!!!


Well my house is spotless!!! i have finally thrown out so much crap so so proud of myself, filled a 2sq mini skip hehe alot of junk in this house. but now with no 3 here i decided i just dont have the time to clean all the time so i threw most of it out. Kell told me if i havent used it in a year i dont really need it do i.

Shell- hope you get a good sleep, just let me know when you know more baout your brides maid duties. any day is good for me,

Jodi good luck for today but I am 100% sure you'll be fine. Just do what Oh wise Nelle said - aim to feed yourself and the kids and leave the rest for later. Eventually you will get the hang of it but even now my boy is 4.5mths old (holy moly where has the time gone?!) I still have days where Im lucky to get dressed and do even one load of washing, only because they're being painful and I just cant be bothered.

Way to go on the springcleaning Bea. Out of curiousity how much did the bin set you back? Im thinking we need one to do our clean out before we move. I refuse to go another km with all the junk we have, its time to declutter.

Well we are all sick. J has a runny nose and R has the usual bronchiolitis and spits up disgusting stuff after his bottles. Its gross. And now Im sick with a sore throat. I just want to fall into a heap but obviously I cannot otherwise the world would stop turning And on the Nanny's day off too what bad timing

[Nelle]

. Just do what Oh wise Nelle said.

Why don't more people call me that? You'd think people would have realised by now!

Oh, Si spewing, better go!
