3-months tomorrow!!!!!
Hiya!
Well as you can see Dad did more of a face-mask thing than breakfast..:))) ha ha ha ....!!!
Visited the clinic today for the second 6-in-1 jab and the 1st of the Rotavirus drops....ouch and yucky!!!
Have been pretty quiet and sleepy all afternoon....and building up to some nigglyness for the next 3 days - maybe, maybe not. I hear cries........ok so that was an hour and 7 minutes ago - it's now 17h59 !!! Feed time and a lot of crying proooooobably brought on by the Rotavirus drops - was told to expect some cramping....and yip it happened in stereo!!!!!
But all that aside tomorrow is 3 months and hopefully (fingers crossed) that's the end of the "difficult" stage and it'll just get better from here....us all sleeping longer being the most important one. We have been taking strain these last 2 weeks or so.....erratic wakings in the night - so I never know when - but in the day like clockwork it's been every 2 hours - you can set your watch to them! I'm just exhausted. Brad is wrapping up his end of year for builders holiday so is taking strain on that front, so at night when he comes home it's hard for us both to string more than 5 words together. And people have babies to keep an already rocky marriage together????? We've had some bad days, but if we can get through that, we can get through anything....now that's my positive spin for today ;)
Right must be off now to get the washing off the line, toss the nappies in the bin and toss a quick salad - thank goodness it's summer so supper's quick and veeeeery simple - and hope I don't get these last 2 mixed up....ha ha ha....salad in the bin and nappies on the plates ;) and then a quick run under the shower....OK here goes.....1st a look in at the babies as I hear crying again... :(
ta ta and love to you all

news from Mommy
Hiya all!
Well the great news is that the jaundice episode is nothing to be worried about! It's something to do with the baby's anti-bodies killing off the free radicals that they're exposed to on a daily basis, and this causes the jaundice. A load of bollocks according to the nurse that came to weigh them in the beginning, which is a great relief.
It would have been something to worry about if they were bottlefed babies who suddenly developed it - which could then show liver issues etc etc. So NO more heel-pricks, and the yellowing should disappear on it's own accord. Hip hip hooray! Although I must add they loved the "naked in Tahiti" suntanning on the bed ;)))))
The girls have started smiling (no not the 'wind' smile) for real....and even their little eyes light up and shine with love and affection - or that's what I like to think! They also pull their shoulders up when they smile....so it's all really cute! And the goo-ing and gurgling is something that just melts me at the knee-caps.
I'll do my best to catch it on a video, but up to now have just got the smiling and gurgling. Will upload in the next day or two when I've remembered how - or might have to enlist the help of my geek husband...haa haa haaaa! Also to catch them doing it at the same time...!!!!
We can see ourselves in the mirror now.
