hahaha, thank you ladies! I feel so special to have my own fan club! LOL!
You ladies mean the world to me, i love you all also!
Madame i know exactly what you mean, you me and natty in the back of the classroom - probably a good thing it never happened! haha, don't know how well the poor teachers would have coped. I'm totally keen to visit my bestie in melbourne too, not sure when it'll happen, we have to wait for her to get her own place, atm she's staying at a mates aunty's house (yea, musicians! they'll live anywhere i swear!) But i promise when i head that way i'll seek you out! haha! Would love to meet in person, same with you ubba! We could have our personal little bellybelly meet up!
Thanks for the lovely comments on my kiddies too, i think they're gorgeous aswell! but i may be slightly biased. Seriously, no idea where the olive skin comes from! People often joke to my mum that i'm the milkmans (cause my skin is quite olive aswell, and my sisters is soo pastey white!). I think its going to be the same with Kaili and Theo. Her skin is beautiful and olive, & he is white white - in the sun his hair even has tinges of orange
700grams in two weeks is awesome!! Well done! Must have the "full cream" variety as natty phrases it, hahaha (love it!). 5 minutes on a side sounds dream like! If only theo was like that, he's a sleeper - takes forever because i keep having to wake him! Two weeks off for your DH sounds well deserved! I can only imagine how hard it must be having your own business, holidays would be few and far between. Have fun at the beach, perfect weather for it!
Oh also i know what you mean about the 2.5 hour drive! Yikes! You're brave! We had to go to Townsville (4 hours) for Theo's circ, and i swear... i was on suicide watch afterwards!!! hahaha! (yes i can laugh about it now, but at the time it was no laughing matter!) The 4 hour drive took 7 hours... need i say more?? On the drive home, a portable DVD player, and 4 new Dora DVDs helped us reduce it to 5 hours (i now have a true appreciation for DVDs, haha).

arimeh i know how you feel re the bad sleepers! DD is a nightmare to get to bed! Has been since she was a newborn. for about the first year her bed time was 11:30, and NOTHING i did would change it! My mum thought i was exagerating, then she had to babysit overnight when DD was 8 months and couldn't believe it!! haha, i just laughed and said told ya so. She fights it till the end... even now its like a bomb.. and you have carefully leave without the slightest noise or it'll explode! hehehe. Touch wood, so far Theo has been great *touching wood as i type, haha*

Kymmy my gosh!! he's in crawlers already!! WOW!! Can't wait to see some more pics of him, chubby babies are just the cutest, they make my heart melt! hehe. Im definately keen for another baby too, but i'm not ready just yet! Will probably start trying again near his birthday (as we did with Kaili). How many do you want in your family? Oh and how is your daughter adjusting to archie?? i hope all is well

Natty, i'm glad i'm not the only one putting bub to sleep on their belly. Theo settles sooo well on it. I agree tho, the sensor pads are a must. Just to help ease your mind a little. Also i read that a fan in the room also helps reduce the risk of SIDS, so i've been putting the split system fan on high (but i checked to make sure it didn't affect the sensor pads first, because they can even pick up on fans). I can't believe she is 4.6kg either! Makes me really grasp how tiny all your bubbies were. Theo was 4.5kg born....
I'm so glad your '6 week moment' has arrived, and youre feeling more relaxed with everything Being a mum is tough work - no doubt about it!

Alison - i know what you mean about the work. I never ended up going back for the same thinking your on atm. I thought, i'll go back to work, already be pregnant, work for what... 3 - 4 months?? it just wasn't worth it in my books, missing out on the quality time with DD for a bit of extra cash. I always wanted my kids close together, so now i can't see me going back until we've had all our babies. Even then i think i'll wait until they're in school. DH doesn't want me to go back at all, his mum was a worker, and he grew up in an empty house (she was always working), and he doesn't want that for his kids. Good luck with your decision!

Ubba - sooo glad i'm not the only cranky mummy! ALthough i must say i had a good chuckle at the "stop laughing too loud" That's something i would say! AHh, i need to take some chill pills! Actually today when i was hanging out the washing (wahoo for kaili, outside time!), i actually took the COVER OFF OF THE SAND PIT! OMG!! Poor thing! I know exactly how you feel, i don't want kaili to resent the baby either. But its so hard... When bubs finally asleep the LAST thing you want to do is clean and do jobs, but its the only time - so where do you get the time to also do scrapbooking, play cars, get the playdough out etc. I'm sure we'll get back into the swing of things, we just need time

haha, wow - i really should have just titled this post, "Dear Madame.. " hahaha. Who has the obsession now, huh?
