The girls are 11 and 9... It is alot to take on but it should be fine... they've stayed with us for long periods of time before and we managed them pretty well but they are very very *naughty* kids & they're used to corporal punishment so it's hard to find alternative ways to disipline them that are actually effective... I think most of the behaviour issues stem from the hearing problems, So i'm going to get that sorted first... can you believe the youngest tested 70% deaf and has never been taken to a hearing specialist!?!. I can't wait to get them to be honest, They deserve alot more then they have now and pretty soon it will probably be too late to help them grow up right.

Wow gracie, how exciting for you guys being able to give advice to all the new mum's & dad's - I hope it went well. I'm eating way too much junk food too, I only had my last 5kgs to go, it just wasn't budging so i gave up... I had apple crumble for breakfast yesterday lol.

Renee ~ sounds like you got a mad bargain on the playset... aw, it's going to be so cute when all our bubs are running around the backyard.

JaZMum ~ Your ticker pic is SO beautiful! I'm with you on the comfy clothes, i hate when the straps on the capsule are rubbing on Scarlet's shoulders so when we go out now she's usually just in a summer jumpsuit.

Don't worry Leemar, I'm no where near done for chrissie yet either. We'll get there!

Art ~ I can't believe they forgot to do up your wheels!!! That's so bad, Did you get anywhere with them? I hope you charge them for the repairs! Lmao @ your DH's nursery rhymes.

Cally ~ Did you enjoy baby massage?.. Is it worth learning?

LOL MD goodluck with your inlaws! I hear you on not being able to fit bub in the bath... or the carseat... or on the change table... well, not quite that bad but it's becoming a tight squeeze!!! I think we have a tribe of ballet dancers, supermodels and basketball stars on the way.

*hehe* Hayley, i thought like your SIL while i was PG... bet ya $10 she changes her mind after a week! ARGH! Scarlets wardrobe is overflowing with nanna dresses too! I don't think she has worn any of them yet.
