Hi Girls,

Sorry I have been so slack. I have been reading the posts but finding it so hard to keep up. You girls sure do talk.

I don't like to brag but I have the most angelic baby here. Samuel has been going 10 hours overnight between feeds and between 5 and 6 hours during the day. I think his shortest one is 4 hours. He's a legend. He's such a contented baby and is happy to lie under his playmat when awake and when he gets tired we just wrap him up and put him back to sleep until the next feed. Sometimes he wakes up after a short time but we rock him back to sleep and he is happy. Makes life so much easier especially with the older two to deal with. We had him weighed last week and he has put on 1kg since birth up to 4.8kg so he is definetely getting enough to eat.

O.K here's my story. I'm 32 years old and met my hubby Adam when I was 21 so we've been together nearly 11 years. We both grew up in Newcastle. I met him when I had gone away on a camping trip with my brother and his friends. We have only been together about 6 months when he got offered a job in Port Hedland, WA. We were both living at home with our parents so packed ourselves up and moved over the other side of the country. We were in Port Hedland for nearly 7 years and had Kaitlyn in July 2001 and then Jamie in June 2003. 4 weeks after Jamie was born DH applied for and got a job back in Newcastle so back we came. We were married in October 2004 with both our precious children by our side. When we moved back to Newcastle we moved into an investment property that we had bought a couple of years before and never intended on living in so it was a bit squishy with the 4 of us. We subdivided the block of land that the house is on and built a two story, 4 bedroom house on the back of the block which we are living in now. I have always wanted 3 kids and felt that I was missing something. DH really only wanted 2 but after lots of convincing he came around to my way of thinking and our beautiful Samuel was conceived on New Years Eve 2005 and now our family is complete.

Gotta go I am being called. It's tucker time.
