Good morning ladies. I hope you had a good night? Ours wasn't bad.
Sabrina I meant to say that I know what you mean with the Christmas lights. In Zurich we always had the normal chain and here we have the loop one too. I think the advantage of the loop is that if one light fails the rest of the chain doesn't go dark like with the "normal" chain. But yeah it is somewhat more difficult to put up.
Glad Finn laughed in the bath with you! Maybe you really are onto something there and it will get better this way!
I also hope that you are feeling masses better with your sinus problem this am
As for the shooting in the US.. when they showed the pictures of those little children on tv last night I thought I was going to cry! They were little ones still! How sickening!
And while I don't want to start an argument about gun law, what
Borboleta says is what I think too. Even if there was a law banning guns, criminals would still find ways to buy them and use them. Criminals do not obey the law. I grew up with guns as my father and grandfather are/were into hunting in a big way
sick
but of course that isn't the same as a hand-held gun and they do freak me out!
Borboleta I hope last night was another good night for you? And grr at your DH for waking you! Why did he get up for so long? Does he suffer from insomnia? Poor thing if so. Hope he didn't also wake you when he came back to bed at 4!
And I am totally with you in loving chocolate and cake lol But I also love ice cream. Anything sweet really. And it shows lol
Storm I really hope your night was better last night. It sounds as if you were really at the end of your tether.
As Broboleta says I am full of admiration that you can actually face having another baby under these circs. Though I can totally understand how much you must dread going back to work soon.
Rowan How scary with the chair and M! I hope she is ok now? No lingering pain from her contusions? Poor little girl! This made me aware of all we have standing about that a strong boy like Dominic could easily pull over if he could get to it! Baby proofing is going to be really quite difficult in our place
As for slings, I don't have much experience there. We have an Ergo that only OH uses. It is pretty easy and I think he would be able to put the babies in by himself if need be but so far I have always helped him. OH does love the Ergo and going out with one of his boys.
As for songs, oddly enough Sebastian's song is Little Boxes like in the O2 advert. I used to sing that to him when rocking him to sleep just with our own text and now when ever it comes on tv he looks up and listens
For Dominic there isn't one definite song. Both really like being rocked our bounced in rhythm with music though
I have to try kids tv for the boys. They are always trying to watch as I have it running in the background most of the day but I always turn the screen so that they cannot see it. Poor things hehe.
Clio I know what you mean about hardening your heart in order to not destroy the progress you made. But I still find it hard. Luckily last evening Dominic only cried for less than 5 minutes before going back to sleep. Such a relief! But I am surprised that J thinking you had both left completely made him stop crying! Could he really be putting it on like that? If so, clever little thing! And no separation anxiety there? I am glad it is working though as I remember you were saying he was so pale with tiredness all the time.
I think I remember that my SIL also gave goats milk saying it was better for them. Mind you, I don't usually listen to her at all as I think she is a lil weird. lol
Leeze I loved the piccie of you in that summer dress with Kia on your arm. So cute!
Sorry you have a tummy bug thing going on! Hope it doesn't transfer to Kia! Hopefully last night was better already. Drink loads of flat room temp coke as apparently that helps against dehydration as it is the only thing you will probably not bring up again.
Charlie how lovely! I love it when they become more alert and look around them! And it is so cute to watch them on the playmat isn't it! At first my boys would just look but gradually they discovered that they could bash things and that was so adorable!
I bet you are going to treasure those video clips for ever
As for the 2 good nights, maybe they weren't a fluke but sort of a trial run and they will become more frequent? I hope you did get a good nap yesterday afternoon. And maybe you should try to do this on a regular basis?
As for having twins, I had the boys on the same "routine" from early on. When I fed one, I fed the other as well, usually tandem, as feeds take so long at first. The first three month were tough as Dominic cried all day every day and then we got that sorted with Ranitidine. After that we had a few weeks of it being ok - before the 4 months sleep regression hit and for months we were up every hour through the night. Luckily Sebastian was always an easy baby and didn't really do the regression. But Dominic has only come out of that at around 7 months.
I am not saying this to scare you btw. The majority of babies in Baby Club seem to be sleeping ok and many do not show any sign of regression or if, only briefly. So chances are your Sophia will be a good sleeper
She is after all showing signs already of being able to sleep longer and she is still tiny
I am looking forward to seeing pics of Sophia. I bet she has changed lots already
As for us, did I already say that Sebastian has in fact two teeth? He won't let us see but I felt it when he bit me lol He is so sweet! He has this obsession with wash labels as I may have mentioned and now he needs to insert them into his mouth along side the dummy. And he keeps his hands on his dummy so that the label doesn't come out. But when it does and he has a nap he holds the label close to his nose. So sweet. OH ordered him a comforter with loads of "labels" sticking out but I don't think it is working as well as the "body material" isn't muslin but sorta fleecy. Still he does enjoy sucking on the labels. It isn't the same as this but similar
Right, I have to go, it is brekky time for my boys xxx
he wakes up and stares at everything in the room and then takes ages to go back to sleep (if at all...) I must have had 1hr strech max last night 
) and went downstairs and didn't come back till 4am. So I didn't get to sleep 10 hours straight like thiago but I got about 8 
so he was not enjoying as much! Maybe you can google this brand Rowan. What kind of cake did you have? And the flavor? I LOVE cake!!! It is as good as chocolate for me!!! Ice cream I could live without it but chocolate and cake is my passion
. If I were you I would be : no way!!
