Hey girls I sat down to get in a few words in a few times always at the tail end of my 2hr-baby sleep-break and she woke up half way

First things first
Steph, PHOTOS PLEAAASE
))) Sooo excited can't wait to see her? How are you coping with the csection hon. Must be difficult having 2 while your tummy is hurting. You can't lift Katelyn right? How's little Madelyn? Is she an easy going baby? I bet she is gorgeous. Who does she look like? Is any family helping at the moment or do you have any other help than hubby? Lot's of little kisses for little baby Madelyn ))
Angela how did the dr find out it was dairy allergy? Might be a naive thing to ask but would he grow out of it or would the dairy allergy pills work for him? Dairy allergy might be pain cause most of the sweets and many dishes require it (butter, creme etc). U might need to check out kosher recipes and the delis for non dairy substitutes. Bit pain in the bu... cooking for the whole family keeping nondairy.
Poor Beth. What a rough weekend that both mummy and the poor lad got sick on holiday. Traveling with a little one is always a challenge. Just running after her on holiday exhausts me cause it's an unfamiliar environment so it's hard to tell what's around the corner. A pot hole, a tantrum, an unsettled night etc. Sigh and hugs. Sounds like you might be having luck in other areas though LOL)) Good luck hon
Anna can't believe u r already talking about the snow) We had such a sunny good summer here that I never want it to end. But already signs of autumn, rain rain and back to grey sky in London.
Hey Plum? Are they going to get interviewed or is it only a matter of first come first serve basis? Our area for schools are crazy, applications as early as new born (each application has fees which sucks)+catchment area nonsense +interviews and if it doesn't happen in the interview the kids may need to sit a grueling test at 6 which is really unfair on a little kid. Some people get their 5 year olds have private tuitions already. Really crazy depending on where you live in London. Moving and house prices are completely dependent on the school's catchment areas. Complete nightmare to buy or rent as the house prices sore and the space you get shrinks in school friendly areas. Honestly I can talk for hours about this subject cause that's all everyone with kids talk about in London.
Finally last but not least YYYYAAAAAAAYYYY CHRIS)) MMMuuah, mmmuaaah xxxxx. Congratulations )))) That is GREAAAAAAT. And it is double great cause I am a week away from uuu )) hahahahhahahahahahhaaaa. Yeeaaay I'm 5 weeks. We are pregnancy buddies now ))) isn't that wonderful??? hahahahahahhaaaaaa. This made me really happy 
Good luck to both of us.

I am sooooooo happy to hear your transfer was successful!!!! Massive 
to you!!! YAYAYAYAY 
This is crazy. I am getting the starts of a bump (bloat). I would say I am the same now, as I was around 10 weeks with Sophie.... 
Chris, when is your first scan? 
) sick in this house for 8 weeks straight now. Last round, poor Reece would cough till he gagged then projectile vomit... Good times. 
I am so sorry the camping had to be cut short! Hope she is feeling better! And SNOW? I am so excited (I know, i'm crazy) just that it's turning cooler here. YAY! Our leaves are starting to turn. Football is on... Sickness or not, I'm doing my 
We aren't sure what caused it. we initially suspected dairy formula bc of GI symptoms, which turned out to be caused by the stomach bug (the other three of us got it, but we didn't know that was coming the day the dr. switched him to soy), so put him on soy. On soy, the explosive reaction occurred and made us think it was that. Literally spent one whole day in tears bc I did not know what to feed him next and could not get dr to call me back (that's a whole other tale). fast forward a bit - Tests show mild allergies to eggs and peanuts; neither of which he had eaten. He does not appear (based on blood tests) to be allergic to dairy or soy, but out of caution we are going with the hydrolyzed formulas for now, and will retry dairy and/or soymilk at 1 year. So thankfully, the drama seems to be calming... for now. But MAN that was scary and I pray never to have to see something like that happening to one of my children again. 
All the stress has caused me to lose a few more baby pounds, so I'm happy about that silver lining. All in all, I know we are very blessed and I am just thankful things seem to be calming down. I miss you girls!! 
I know, I know..... lol
