Good morning all xx
Well we had a nice Christmas but the girls were both pretty poorly, we have got through some calpol! They have been coughing a lot, just look forward to it going now!
I missed the other children more than I thought I would, and even though its been chaos since they came back I am used to the chaos and it is way too quiet without them! (Even dh missed them!)

It is awful to not have Wayne with you at times like Christmas, and Lilia's first Christmas too
It is good news you will have the boys, but i notice it is over New Year when their Mum obviously wants to go out and party so it suits her to use you as a babysitter when she needs it, it is good though because you can use it to your favour if she ever says you can't have the boys when Wayne is away, because she has let you have them when it suits.
Youngmummy, oh dear what a rubbish time all round, I hope your Mum and Sister are ok
Asher, your cousin does sound selfish, but then their can be a young arrogance to some men, perhaps he will grow out of it! His poor wife
Charmia, Hello, welcome to you and your baby!
Rosie babbles and entertains herself really nicely, she is a very laid back baby! My last dd used to screetch, and she didn't grow out of it til about 2, i am so glad i can now say, 'do you remember when she screamed!' It was awful at the time!
Well my baby girl is 3 months old today, Happy 3 Months my sweet baby!
I feel like i spent the whole of last year pregnant! My milestones were like all of you 3 months in the 3rd month etc, I was just aiming for September all the time! I am so glad she is here, and that she is so sweet natured is such a bonus! (I still just stare at her and sniff her in disbelief (oooh baby smell)that she is here and mine, you would not think she is my 5th!!
)
I want to get her a cot, I have my eye on one that is the same price in the 'sale' as it was before the sale! It is not the cheapest but i really like it and it's a cot bed so will do for a long while, and i will get a decent sprung mattress for it, I do think the children should have a good mattress!
Before Christmas dh stood on ds's laptop and terminally broke it! Ds said a note pad will be fine, so i am having to pay out for that too,(although i am having £100 from insurance to go towards that! It is an expensive year this year as ds is 17 in March and driving is on the cards!
I have 2 girls birthdays in Jan, dh Feb, ds March, ds April, and that is just in the house doesn't count other family birthdays!
Atm I am in no rush for the cot as Rosie loves her basket, she plays with the handles and touches the sides that are fleece lined, she seems really cosy in it and seems to like that and be comforted by it, I fear she may be lost in a cot and not feel so safe and cosy.
It is lovely to see the Christmas pics of babies on fb, and now i am starting to know who is who between fb and here!
I find all the babies really individual, all gorgeous, we are lucky mummies!
Right time to go and do other things, dh spent til the early hours on the xbox last night which means i won't see him today, it gives me a nice easy day to clear up some of the Christmas stuff! My eldest is back today also which is nice, it is funny he towers above me but is still my baby boy at nearly 17!
The girls are playing dressing up, i have princesses atm, till they get bored and the playdough comes out, which i have managed to discourage for now, then my 7yr old wants to do a paper making kit she has, it will be fun today!
Big waves to all, sorry if i have missed anything important, still got baby brain, not sure how long i can use it as an excuse!!
Have a great day
xx
