Hey chickies! Just checkin in.

Maz, so glad to see your home with your handsome little man I got your sms, ta for the info I appreciate it. Sorry I didnt answer back, Im lucky if I can scratch myself lately. No need to apologise to us, we were all kept in the loop and we completely understand why you felt that way. Mats really is gorgeous Maz, I love seeing your ticker pic, makes me smile!

Jodi, sucky about being laid off. I ditto Meg, if Jett didnt have a rest OR a nap Id be insane by dinnertime.

Meg, sucks your SIL reneg'ed on her offer of accom. Dont blame you for wanting to cancel, I struggle with the idea of taking the kids to the local shops so doing a 24hr flight + toddler would send me screaming into the nearest corner to rock myself lol What does DH think about it?

Ness, all I can say is I understand completely. And your completely normal. I never do housework on Jetts daycare days, I just relax around the house or go out shopping/lunching with my girlfriends.

Nelle, we have a potty but atm all Jett does is sit on it and tbh I cant be tushed pushing the potty training issue with Rips being so young. Im knackered enough as it is. But he has started to recognise when he's wet/poo'd by telling us 'wee wee' or 'poo stinky'. Maybe just buy a potty and sit Riv on it before/after bathtime and let him get used to the idea for awhile.

Hi to everyone else!

We're doing ok. Jetts really pushing my limits lately, seems like he saves all his naughtiness for when its just me, him and Rips. He spends more time in his room on time out than with us but I just dont know what to do other than that (Im trying really hard not to smack, or save it for the really bad stuff). Ripley is ok, still v. unsettled and keeping me tired. Had our MCHN appt on wednesday and he has grown heaps. He weighs in at 4895g and 54.5cm long, thats a 1.5kg/4.5cm growth in 3 weeks The nurse was very impressed and very sympathetic as she said he must be feeding every 1-2hrs to have gained so much in so little time, no wonder Im so tired. I literally spend every day feeling like Im going to collapse or fall asleep at any second. We're booked in to sleep school on March 4th to see if they can help us any with Rips unsettledness. I feel so bad because Im so cranky with everyone My saving grace is that the inlaws are coming on March 3rd for 4 weeks so I will have some of the pressure (housework, kids, no time for naps) eased up on me then. Plus we're going on holidays to Melb for the long weekend to have some beach time and take J to the zoo/aquarium so should be fun.

I am keeping track of you all I just dont get much time to post.
