Annabelle: oohhh yeah...i have permanent 'vomit' patches in my hair from Marta lol. i am soooo glamorous it aint funny
we too have those kinda 3-5 hour unsettled periods every few days. if i miss her tired sign by a couple of minutes it's on for young and old! (is there anyway that your DH can do kindy pick up? i have now got mine doing it as i find i need to be home by around 4pm to get a good feed and cuddle session in while preparing a quick dinner...that we eat at 5.30pm ). my life is sooo rock and roll ATM

AFM: well we had a lovely morning this morning. Marta has started smiling all the time now and today in bed while DD1 was cuddling her she looked up at her Big Sister and gave the most beautiful smile!! leila was over the moon!! she told marta that she loved her today as well...mwah! am on my own with Marta today. DH is in at work for the day and Leila is at kindy. have a friend coming over with her almost 1 year old, so we might just be hanging out at a cafe and playground today. hopefully it wont be too tiring (so hard to find a balance ATM between keeping interaction up to avoid feeling isolated and ensuring that i dont get tired...i guess it will all balance out soon enough).
hope everyone is well and dandy...and getting sleep and lots of smiles lol.
