Hi everyone,
Lizel, I'm so sorry about what you're going through.

Glad to hear there's no complications and that you'll be ok. Wonderful news about the twin...his parents must be so relieved.
Skitter - where do you find all these awesome things? I think I would be too terrified of that one bed! Might swallow me! When did you wean M? I am still battling to get my dear, wonderful, completely-to-the-boob son to take a bottle or sippy cup. So how did you do it?
Deja, we too had a dark night because there was a short somewhere in the house and everything kept tripping. Eventually I made DH switch everything off because I am now terrified of burning to death in my sleep (my dear MIL keeps telling me all these stories of families that this has happened to because of shorts in the electrics) You are brave staying alone and in the dark. How is N sleeping now? Is she still next to you? I thought I read that she is in her own bed?
Sumayad - try the gummyvites with echinacea and propolis. They're like sweets so the kiddies love them. You can give him one in the morning and one at night after food. Hope it just stays a cold. Colby is on antibiotics for the flu. His cough is so bad but getting better.
