Hi ladies

Kris, I'm ok working extra hours. I only take on extra when DH is home to look after the kids, otherwise it defeats the purpose (of making more money cause childcare would cost almost as much as i would earn working extra!). My job is a good one, I do enjoy it, but just don't want to actually work. I want to be home with my babies...but it just can't be
Yep, co sleeping is lovely and all, but I think it's time to sop now! Liam is getting to the stage where he's just rolling all over the bed, he ends up all over the place, lol! He was at my feet the other night and I nearly had a heart attack that he'd gotten caught between the mattress and bed frame cause I couldn't feel him. And he kicks me alot. I always wake when he moves too. So besides him getting to be a PITA, it's getting a bit dangerous for him too. And I want to sleep with my DH again! I don't remember the last time we DTD in bed, lol! (Sorry TMI ).
The gym I og to is $16 a class and about $18 for a weekly membership. BUT I can only get a yearly one for that price. A 6mth one is more and a monthly one is even more. So not worth it unless I get a yearly one, and we might be moving before the year is out...and breakage costs are $150. Such a rip off! At least now if I don't have the money I don't have to go and pay it. I do really enjoy going though and it might be worth it...ugh, I don't know!
With sleeping, I'm lucky cause Lil soooo needs her day sleep! But with Liam I think he's going to need less sleep than Lily does, he's already down to 2 day sleeps and has been for a while. Lil was still having 3 day sleeps at his age! She only went to 2 at about 14mths. But with him, I prefer to keep him up and deal with the feralness through the day and then him go to bed early and sleep better at night (does he ever sleep well??!!) than to battle him to bed for another sleep and then be up until all hours. I just try to keep him occupied (like going out on the balcony, having a bath, playing ball, jumping on the bed together- yes I do it with them, lol!!) til bed time so he's happier and not just whining and my ankles! But good luck!
I hope your blood results are good tomorrow. I will cross everything for you. I can't imagine how anxious you are...well actually I can, and it sucks. I'm glad your DH is helping you out. He does seem to be trying hard for you.

Mel, Liam still wakes for feeds through the night, but I think for him it's more habbit and comfort than actual hunger. I's trying not to feed him anymore through the night. But then he's only having 2-3 feeds through the day. I'm not sure if he really needs it or not. Certainly not 4 or more feeds a night though! He's almost one so shouldn't need to feed at night I would think! I so just want to get some decent sleep! Is R eating much in the way of actual food? Maybe she needs more food rather than more milk??

Dis, I am having some days off work in early August, maybe we can catch up then? But we are all well again at the moment so any time is fine for us now! If I get any extra work it's usually last minute so I just need to have a bit of notice, even just 2-3 days, so I know if I can work extra days or not. Though they don't always come up regularly.
How great that you have a swimming instructor to yourselves! I really wan tto take Lil and Li, but again, the funds won't stretch so far at the mo. I will ask mum for the $$ for christmas instead of her buying MORE toys that they so don't need and I so don't have space to put them.

Kaz, your gym sounds great! I wish we had one close by that was so cheap. But I've calle dall the ones close by and the one I'm going to is the cheapest around here. Sucks!
I hope Pip sorts himslef out. I wonder why he's reacting like that though? Have you changed anything yet? Or do you think he just feels that things are going to change? It's so lovely to see your DH with your littel ones huh? I love watching my DH iwth the kids, when he's being calm and playing nicely that is, lol! Not yelling no at them! He doesn't have much patience when it comes to the not doing what he says He's just like having another kid at times!

Jen, hi hun, I hope things are going well. Hope you're feeling better. How's the pg going now? How far along are you?

Ok that's it for me, phew!! That was a morathon post!! I'm going for a shower and then early night methinks....gotta try to get some sleep!
