evening girls, my brain feels a bit wired, so I have come here to wind down a little. Great to see a few of us around. Of course vene is hopefully on route to France, with the caraven in tow. 
.
Well, I shouldn't be too jealous, the reason my brain is so fried is trying to work out the 6 trips away in the next 2 months. 5 abroad and only one of them a holiday. The childcare logistics are a challenge 
to put it midly.
ninja thanks for asking about the job. After much soul searching DH has turned it down and we will stay here for another 6 months. Hopefully he will find something in that time. The plus side is that it means I am not lugging two children abroad and trying to find babysitters etc for each visit. He might even take a day or two off to mind A when I am stateside, rather than put him in nursery every day.
june why is the sleep situation so bad?C still getting out of bed lots?
gauchita you know you are doing such an amazing job. I crack the shits after 48hrs solo and you have done this month, heavily pregnant, with M and working. Incredible. When DH gets home, he better take the lion share of EVERYTHING for a while (and get that cleaner back on a regular basis)
I will take Z to BA, the hotel has a babysitting service and I will keep her near me at all times, just have her taken for a walk when i am teaching. If she behaves like she currently is, she will be a dream. Of course she won't, there will be teeth and all sorts of shenanigans going on by then.
A was OP, Z spent some time in the position too. My very epxerienced midwife friend say most will turn in labour, you can keep trying to avoid sitting with knees higher than hips and sit straddling a chair if you want (although this will completely irritate your SPD). Hands and knees good too, but tiring. I used to get the fit ball on the floor and just drape myself over that. Did try acupuncture, and although relaxing, didn't help turn either child.
zhen how is the first week of holidays feeling? Starting to catch up a little?
A has had a glowing report from nursery this week, he was bitten twice but did not retaliate and didn't bite anyone else. Yippee. Maybe we are starting to come out the other side? He is truly delightful at the moment, so so affectionate. His language is really coming on and he is trying so hard with new words. I got 'love you mummy' tonight. Sob.
Z seems to be gtting back on track with sleeping. Well, apart from the past three nights. She was going through till 3. Lovely! It is past midnight now and I went in at 10 for a dream feed. Fingers crossed we might go till 3 at least.
Weaning is now going well. She had bolognaise for dinner. Loves strawberries and is spending most meal times in a nappy as I cannot be bothered with even more changes of clothes on top of the vomits. Reflux is much, much better, she is so calm, but still chucking. 
. she has two double chins with our recent weight gain .
I must get myself to bed.
