shar - OMG, how exciting!! I wanna see pics!

Thanks for the comments on Emily. We think she's gorgeous too

I actually looked half good today, did my hair for once and Heath and I took Emily out to the shops while Nina was at daycare. I got Heath to take a photo of Emily and I while I felt good, so I'll have to upload that one. It's not often I feel like I look good in a photo. Better share the moment while it lasts!
Emily was really unsettled this afternoon, I think a little bit of wind maybe? She loves to suck on my little finger, so had to sit there for about an hour or so while she did that, then she went to sleep. She won't take the dummy, so the finger it is for the meantime.

ambz - so sorry to hear you're still having a rough time. I really hope it starts easing for you soon.

Ambz-Sorry to hear that you are having a really rough time at the moment. OMGosh how scary for you with Savanna, I hope she is getting better.

Well we have had Bella at home for a week. She just went back to school today. She came down with another bad virus, got the rash and everything. She is still lethargic, but the school knows that she has a few problems, so if we need to bring her into school later, that's ok.

We finally got the kids some bunks, so now Eithan is in a big bed, and out of our room. This will be the 2nd night. Last night he slept right through, for the first time in AGES. I was getting up at least 5 times a night just to settle him. Seems like the big bed is good news for him.

On a scary note, Eithan can climb Bella's slide. You know the big ones that come with a swing set. Leith said that he climbs the ladder then goes half way down the slide, then clings onto the side and yells out for Bella to come and catch him. OMGosh I am so glad I havent seen it as I think I would have had a heart attack.

Jodi-Glad that things seem to be settling down for you.

Lol, sorry Helen, but I had to have a giggle at Eithan's slide antics! That's so cute that he chickens out halfway down!

Hehe, I'm sitting here grinning, that's gorgeous. Have you guys got a video camera?

Something I wish I'd had the camera for in time today was Riv's first night in his big bed (he wasn't a fan, wanted to trampoline on it, and it was a bit new and unusual for him, but he eventually caught on!), where his door was closed and we saw these little fingers poking out from under the door...obviously he wasn't in bed!

When I heard him yelling a few minutes later though, I went in and he was in bed, so it's good that he knows that's where he's supposed to be.

Sheesh Helen, Bella isn't having a good run! She sounds like my little sis, she had meningitis as a kid, and then her immune system really struggled, she came down with everything that went around!! How is Leith too?

Jodi, if it's wind maybe put Em on her tummy? That worked for Si sometimes. And Brauer's Colic Relief did too, if the wind is a real problem.

Ambz,

just a day at a time I guess hon. Good to hear that Tia's been having some good days! Hopefully when she's a little older this tough time will seem a distant memory. And how SCARY about the fit, you poor things, hope Savanna's better now.

Right, well Rans just brought me dinner (been a busy day, and then I napped through our usual dinnertime) so I'd better go.

HelenP- They get very adventurous don't they. At the park I just have to watch Ash closely cause I don't know what silly things she is going to attempt!
Poor Bella hope she gets thru this virus quickly. And how are you going with the pregnancy?

Ambz- Oh god, that would have just been so scary to have seen, glad to hear she is ok now. I hope everything starts getting easier and you get alot more good days. I know at one stage Savanna was staying at your mums on weekends she still going to give you a break? Maybe your mum could stay your place one weekend just to help at night with them so you can get some sleep?

Caddie- How is Millana's cough?

Laurin- Did sleep school give you any idea how long waiting lists are? Might be good to get her sorted before next bubs comes along, I don't think you want to be up all night with 2 children! Good luck with it.
