Dark and about to pee down in Hampshire . Had a downpour this morning but thankfully got DS1 to nursery in a dry patch (much to his disappointment).
SHabs, fabulous fabulous news. Hope you can really enjoy the rest of your holiday now without holding back!
Also hope Em is feeling better each day now she has been diagnosed. Poor love, but at least she has been diagnosed early and can start feeling human again now.
Lydle and Momma (well, maybe Momma...), weddings! I loved my wedding. We did have a biggish one, but that's cos I love being the centre of attention.
Lydle, my DCs are all younger but it is so hard I am sure for you, but I do think that you need to be firm and say no food upstairs (mice or rats is a good one). I am finding it hard trying to explain to DS1 that the baby DTs have to have milk every 4 hours, but he doesn't, and that he can't drink milk all day or he wont eat enough food (he is 2.4), so trying to explain why DD2 was allowed crisps for breakfast etc and DD1 wasn't must be very very tough. Presume though, now, that neither of them are allowed food upstairs? I know my sister, who has kids age 9, 7 and 5, does not allow them food upstairs and they are only allowed to "help themselves" to fruit, and even that is restricted before mealtimes. I do remember sneaking the odd Penguin / Club / Trio type thing up to my room when I was about your DD1s age, but it was very rare and I would never have let my mum find the evidence!!!!
Oooggs, acupuncture sounds interesting... esp the seeds in ears! Are you feeling any better? Do you think you will be able to go back to work on 9th (think it was 9th).
Meeely, how have you been without DH? I really really struggled some days with DS1 when I was pregnant with DTs. Not sure if it is easier or harding trying to cope on your own when they are a bit older or not. At least DS1 has long naps each day but your boys presumably don't anymore.
Timesofhope, hello I don't think I have chatted to you before. Congratulations on your triplets! I watched a prog the other day on Discovery Home and Health with a family who just had triplet boys. They were adorable.
Tigs so glad you are back online, and that your big sis came to stay too. Lets hope FH can become just H soon as he calms down a bit.
Having a bit of a cacky time myself with the DTs and DS1. Really struggling to hold it all together as DTs are so time consuming, both being buggers with milk feeds, are now on 2/3 solid meals a day, and I find it hard to find a good time in the day to get out and do fun things for DS1 as one or both DTs are always due a milk or solid feed which is hard to do when out as DS1 needs constant attention as not big enough to get on swing / seesaw etc on his own. Also our nights are getting worse, not better, with DD, and I was starting to really water down her milk at night to try to cut it out soon but she is drinking tons of white water at 2am etc and not having any more, or in fact having less in the day, and she is too small to be cutting down.... urgh.
Sorry. Loooooooooong post.
