hi. still not got internet up!!!! we have it now- after many phone calls and many envelopes (they posted the wires and bits individually 
) but dp hasnt set it up.
j and i are sleeping and eva is in her bouncy chair grizzling and getting louder. j and i have been asleep for nearly an hour, but its took me that long to catch up! really need to keep more on top of it, cos i end up putting off reading when i know there is a lot and then its just a viscious circle.
anyway, im finding it much easier with just the one baby! it also helps that she is an extremely easy baby- the easiest by far. she is very laid back and cries hardly at all. even when shes hungry she takes a while to build up to crying- just usually goes crazy trying to eat her blanket or your shoulder etc.
both j and i are completely use to her now and give her loads of kisses, too many even- especially when she is sleeping, and then they wake her up....argh. jacob is worst for it because he loves our reaction 'awh thats lovely jacob' we had to be over the top to get him to be more loving instead of smacking her one and now it does it a lot and then stands looking at you, until you say it to him, at which he gives a huge grin.
unfortunately j and i's relationship is not quite as good. o.m.g!
they bite, smack, shout and push each other all day long. ive just started to make them kiss each other this week to try and make them be more loving to each other. it does seem to be having a tiny amount of effect. hopefully they will grow out of it. i know their bite cries now and ive figured its quicker to feel for saliva on their clothes and find the bite and then i can go to town on the discipline to try and nip it in the bud. when i use to just try to find the bite and mostly couldnt, i couldnt tell them off as i couldnt be sure iyswim.
me and dp are good, much better than we were after the twins. im less tired as there is only 1 waking up in the night and she only wakes once or twice and also he sleeps on the couch which means he gets a full nights sleep and i can co sleep in peace, and she sleeps far better with me than in the cot.
we did have a bad time for the 1st 2 weeks as dp had to look after us all and became the most miserable grumpy bastard in the world. he had me and chloe in tears with his moods. it was incessant, and after 2 weeks i told him to get out my kitchen and i'll do it. it wasnt worth the misery and if i spilt my stitches it would be better than putting up with this. i cant believe i spent 7 years with him and ive only just seen this side to him in the last 2 years that we've had kids. hes not even 30 yet ffs. i told him hes a grumpy t*@+t and if we dont make him happy he can bog off and find someone who will!
anyway, we can poke fun and laugh at it now. and i dont think its affected chloe at all, cos she sent me a text from her bedroom at the time saying, 'can i come down, or is he still in his temper' 
saoirse at your pushchairs. flys over my head completely.
j and i dont say much words apart from the mamma dadda nanna thing. they 'talk' babble alot and understand loads, and isobel says ta when she wants to give you something.
i have the music on a lot and both mine dance. it is soooo cute.
i always read the 2nd duplication by newmum !!! makes me feel like im making progress down the list i think'
lumpy 
at your friend refusing to give you your own child. not sure what i would have done. but i would have been mad too.
cinnamon hope your dp is ok over the sink.
brillant news about those ttc. ive had a period already. 
so dp is refusing to come near me-
think cinnamon asked about sil ages back. the treatment is over and she is feeling the effects more now than at the time. she has to go back in feb to see if it has worked.
right got to go as the little buggers are crying upstairs..........round 2!
