Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Its the bug-eyed mom here again this morning.....

Julz, I have bad news for you. Erin has the same problem. She woke up 5 times between 12 and 3 last night. The last time I got cross and told her DUDUS NOW. And she did. I'm sure its got something to do with them coming out of their deep sleep for something. When she comes out the first time she sits up and the blankets roll off her which creates the problems afterwards. I don't know. I thought it was maybe because her room was cold, am expecting teeth. And then yesterday morning I noticed a whole lot of gunk coming out of her ear. I cleaned it up and haven't seen anything since. I thought maybe her room was cold so I had the heater in there last night. I'm pulling my hair out as to what it is!!!! Erin doesn't scream though, she just cries.

I cannot get up early in the morning anymore. My body is used to waking up when Erin used to wake up - 6h30. Now she and the girls are sleeping in and we're only waking up closer to 8am. And Charlene is meant to be in school by 8pm. The cold is making it hard. I don't remember it being this cold last year.

Lisha, so sorry to hear of your news. Hope your dad is comfortable.

Love the photos, especially the boepie Vix. And I don't see a roll either, I think as you can't see your back its a figment of your imagination.

One more day down to Friday. DH didn't want to talk anymore last night about it. I think he's worried about getting his hopes up. He said he struggled to sleep yesterday as he had thoughts going through his head of what he should have said. Oh well I said. I think it went well.
He's absolutely knackered this morning. After coming home from night shift, going to the interview, getting into bed about 11am, waking up around 4pm and then off to work again 10pm - he also has a cold. He's not well. So he got home 8h30am this morning, warmed up a hottie for him, and the beanbag. He's sound asleep.

Right, got some flowers and butterflies again to make today, I'm off.

Oh and Vix, Midrand is halfway between the 2 so you can't use that as an excuse!!!

vix - i agree when we go to krugersdorp i always add layers and say to brett getting ready for antartica LOL he is like its 2 degrees and i am ya whatever

ayhoe let me go to pics - oh and no water today pipe burst (cold) so my hair is GREASYYYYYYYYY luckily i am having haircut tomorrow LOL - oh an dfor now will put babypowder in just to run in pnp LMAO

anyhoe lve u all long time

Hi mommies.

Julz, the twins have also moaned a lot the last two nights and I'm sure it's the cold. The cold coming from the floor is really a good point. I think we must try to do something about that tonight.

Vix, I'm with Nelria, You moan about the cold but your British hehehe. And you can't not come...wtf is up with that?
Oh and I'm telling you now, twins is hard for the first 6 months until they hold their own bottles and can feed solids and then it's SOOO much easier than a singleton I'm sure of it. Or my children just are then. As we speak, C and I are both on the PC, they are playing by themselves, laughing at each other. We can watch whole movies and won't see them for half of it because they are so busy playing and exploring together.

Oh and having twins is a major boost to a man's ego I'm telling you. C and his buddies always used to talk about his "Super sperm" etc. even though it was ME who released 2 eggs. And C bought pregnancy mags for himself for the first 5 months coz I wasn't interested. I was reading bridal magazines at night while he was reading Your Pregnancy lol. So happy Elwyn is so involved!

Nelria, so glad you're having such a great time being a mommy.

More pics! I can't wait to see how they turn out!

I promise you Nelria, it's really really cold in JHB!!!!! when i came to visit you last it was like going on a summer holiday LOL

Oh and there's a reason this Brit doesn't choose to live there anymore......the weather! LOL

vix - 1st of all dont u dare chicken out o meet - put on your thermals and toughen up - and u call yourself british? LOL

vix - soooooooooooooooooooooooo much easier 2nd time around man i am loving the no -colic xen earned his name's meaning 100X and lea is loving him so so much and she has gone so easy - sleeping through, understanding no etc

the twins will be so much easier u wil see double nappies and feeding bt for the rest they will get on with entertaining each other and terrorising c - i watch my boets twins with envy all the time its like me clowning around entertaining lea and then thinking with the twins but that age they were coming up to my flat(still living with boet then) by themselves to visit one would cook with me other would then go look for mum or dad etc but due to being 2 boet never worried as one would warn if other gets hurt etc

anyway off to have pics taken of x now a buddy doing it so hopefully little man gives nice pics

Nelria- it really sounds like motherhood is suiting you so well this time around, i hope it's easier for me too, having a colic baby was hell!
