Everything's pretty much in the last few pages I think 
I cannot find the thermometer ANYWHERE! Naomi has a temp I think and I cannot find it, we have looked everywhere! So annoying as I have seen it somewhere, I just can't remember where..... She has trouble regulating her temperature I think so I shall add that to my long list of concerns when I see the gp next (I'm so worried I'm going to sound over the top, typical paranoid mother lol!)
Apart from Naomi being poorly, I'm loving this weather! It's so nice out there!
We had a quiet day, Holly went to her friend's house for tea and Martyn has been working a lot so I've just been pottering about the house really

Mel you always do fun stuff!! I actually am in the minority and hate scary rides so I would be a rubbish person to take there! I'm the kind of person that can cope with the runaway train at disney but that's my limit. Are the boys going with you?
Maria I hope N is feeling better tomorrow, its hard when its so hot. We wait all year for some heat then it comes and we realise we just aren't equipped for it! Hope it goes well at the doctors, just tell them your worries and don't worry about sounding paranoid - better to look paranoid I think!
Greg is back from the stag - he claims it wasn't all that much fun - yeah right! He was off today so had a nice day in the garden. Although Annabelle took a tumble down our stone steps and hit her head, she seemed fine after but I am a bit worried. Will have to check on her through the night.
Also woke up with mastitis again, Henry's long sleeps are amazing but I think the not feeding him for over 10 hours just makes me engorged which blocks the ducts. Annoying as now on 10 days of anti biotics and will be for my holiday.
Got Henry's first vaccines tomorrow. Not sure whether to give the rotavirus at this stage as really don't want him sick for the holiday. Also think I have to take Annabelle with me which prob means she'll have a total melt down because she hates the doctors. Oh the fun!!
Other than that its only 4 days until we jet off to menorca and I can't wait!!!

I hope Annabelle's OK Hann! Naomi's always falling over, it's horrible isn't it?
Henry's sleeps do sound amazing! I feel bad for you with the mastitis though, I hope it goes quickly. Not long 'till holiday! I bet you can't wait!
Thanks for your comments about Naomi, I'm going to have a word at her appointment on Wednesday I think, it's better to get it off my chest I think

Maria I totally think you should get it off your chest, if it turns out you are worrying over nothing then who cares - better to be over concerned than under imo!
Yes cannot wait for holiday - here's where we are staying:
https://www.solmarvillas.com/Villas/3/Villa Mirada/False/default.aspx
Could only afford it because my parents are going too lol!

Hi Caz! That's happened to me before! So annoying! Hope you're OK
Hann that looks amazing!!! You'll have to take lots of pics! How are Annabelle's ears in the water now?
Wow Mel that's amazing! Do you run alone or do you have like a buddy? A few of my school mum friends run but I'm worried to join them in case I can't keep up!

Mel, that's amazing on the running. My body just doesn't agree with it lol. I have been going to the gym 5 days a week tho which i am enjoying, its quite sociable too which is nice.
Maria, i hope N is feeling better soon and that her appt goes well. I agree that i would tell them everything, you never know what bits could be linked. I keep worrying about how much J is drinking (diabetes both sides of family) but no one seems to take me seriously!
Hann, hope A is ok after her bump. J is so clumsy top. He came back from his dads with a red mark on his cheek and two grazed elbows!
Caz, bet you cant wait to have your house back!
Hope all the little babies are doing well. M is fantastic, such an easy girl. Cant quite believe she is almost 5 months already tho!

Wow Georgie 5 times a week?! When do you go? I would love to go to the gym but I can't see when I could with Annabelle and H around all the time. I'm envious of you all fitting these work outs in! By the time Greg is back from work at 7.30/8 I'm exhausted especially on days like today when my day began at 4.30am. Annoyingly Greg was planning to get up at 5.25 so he could go to the gym but decided against it but he could have helped me out by letting me sleep for even another 30 mins but no he turned over and shut his eyes again leaving me to appease Henry. So annoying! I keep pointing out that its not good me being so tired during the day because bit only do I need to be in a good/happy mood which I struggle with with lack of sleep but also I have to drive them around and if I've not had much sleep then I don't feel like its very safe. He always agrees and says he'll help but then when the situation calls for him to help he conveniently forgets and goes back to sleep. I almost am at the point of not bothering saying anything anymore as it obviously makes no difference which is annoying because I also just did 3 nights alone and I picked him up from the airport with 2 children when I was exhausted. Sorry for the rant!
Mel - that's the number I was using - I'll text you this morning so let me know if you don't get it.
Who's having their birthday party's on July 20th? It's Annabelles birthday that day and we are having a BBQ again like last year. We have 30 adults and 12 children coming (and 5 babies). Ordered party bag stuff over the weekend, very exciting!
Better go and get up for the day, big yawn!!

Its my friends gym Hann, so the kids come with me. No way I would have time otherwise as i dont have anyone that could have them that regularly. I understand completely about the lack of sleep and have to function the next day! That's the only reason i miss not having J here is because we could at least share the early mornings lol.

Hello all, oh dear i feel like this is going to be a long post so please be patient with me!
So glad to be back on here btw!
Georgie that is fabulous you manage so many workouts, i'm so jealous. It's truly amazing especially as you're managing alone most of the time. How often do the kids go to their dads, or is it just Josh going? Re his drinking hopefully it's just cos it's hot? But if you feel like it's something more you should def persevere, they can easily do a finger prick test or something cant they?
Hann, the villa looks gorgeous, again i am so jealous! Re Greg it sounds like he's taking the mickey a bit no? How come he gets to go to the gym and you have to get up early with the kids?? Surely that's not fair... regardless of whether or not he actually went! I'm amazed and henry's long sleeps, that is incredible! Sorry about the mastitis though, must be so painful.
Caz how are you, how's the house coming along?? Must be nearly there now!
Maria, you should def persevere with your questions to the doctor, that's what they're there for right?! Sounds like you had fun at your parents, the weather is lovely for splashing about in the garden. Also incredible about Holly moving up a class, you must be so proud!
SB, not long now til you find out the gender, you must be so excited!
Julie, how are you getting on?
AFM... Sorry it's taken me so long to post, things have been hectic as i'm sure you all know with a newborn! Also Leo's been poorly for a week now so we've not been able to send him to nursery, so i've literally not had a second to myself.
All's going well with Sophia and my recovery - i am able to move around a lot more now. There's not much of a birth story given it was a planned c-section, but it was all a lot more straightforward this time. I asked them to pull down the sheet when they pulled her out of my belly which was awesome, I actually saw her coming out and we have some fab pictures. The after-care in the hospital wasn't too great, I think mainly because it was a weekend. I really needed help with latching her and there wasn't much staff around. The feeding's going a bit better now - basically she's mainly bottle fed, but i've managed to keep my milk supply up a little bit through expressing, just to be able to put her on the boob to comfort her occasionally. the irony is that she's latching beautifully now but of course my supply has dwindled! It's not ideal but for me it's better than no BF-ing at all - it's weird but i seem to feel much more sad about it this time - probably because i BF Leo and i feel guilty not doing the same for Sophia. Had a final visit from my lovely midwife yesterday and she baseically told me to stop beating myself up about it - you're never going to be able to offer exactly the same to both your children right?
Aside from that Sophia is not a great sleeper - she wakes up a lot during the night as she wants to be cuddled, and screams when we put her in the basket. She also seems to want to feed very often (and not small amounts either!). So Paul and I are both completely knackered, but even so we're happy as she's just gorgeous.
Hope to be able to post more often now!

Hi girls,
Simmy don't beat yourself up about the BF'ing - you're doing so well and it is so tough especially now with two kiddies! Please don't worry. Such a shame that she isn't sleeping too well but she is still so little so I hope it improves for you all.
Mel - your exercising is awesome, and you too Georgie - I've ordered a new Jillian Michaels DVD and hope to get going on that once we're backl in the house. I find it so hard with work on top of everything else to have any time to exercise
Wow Han big party for Annabelle! Wer're having a smaller gathering this year and doing it this Saturday as it's Ajay's birthday on Thursday. We are off to Brigton Thursday am for the day and staying over for a little treat for him - yay!
House is going ok - slower than planned but no surprise! We have told them we're moving back in next weekend so they have 10 ish days to sort it - fingers crossed! I can't wait to get home! x

Caz that's always the way with builders isn't it, they are always so over optimistic about the amount of time it'll take, and i've never known one finish on time! That's great that you've given them an ultimatum. Ooh enjoy brighton, i love it there.
Mel - sorry i forgot you in my earlier post, i actually came back on here as i just realised! You are doing so well with your running - i know what you mean about it not coming naturally as i've never been good at running either and can't cos i have bad knees, but i wish i could as it's such a great way of getting fit. When are you off to drayton? I've never been but heard it's great - and the boys will love it!

Thanks Simmy - can't wait to have a few days off! Ajay is struggling in the heat though - he has an awful heat rash and a temperature. I don't know what's wrong but Neel's mum reckons it's an allergic reaction although I don't know from what..... so I'm guess a heat rash. So tomorrow we plan to stay in as much as we can and just chill out and keep cool inside rather than in the sun. x

So tomorrow is Ajay's birthday - he has a heat rash and a temperature so we went to the dr with him today and they said his throat is red and sore And Neel has a bad back so he went to the dr as well and is on some strong painkillers for it so double blow for Ajay's birthday tomorrow. But we are still going to go to Brighton as we have it booked and it should be nice x
