Move over Daddy it's Mommy's turn :)

Hey hey hey!

I'm back in the land of the movers and shakers with a handsome Daddy and two little angels at my side. Oh yes...and let me just tell you if I need him in the night, he's up in a flash and changing nappies or bringing through the next crying baby for a feed...then taking the one that's finished for a little cat-nap on his chest or in the crook of his arm (till she wakes up in 20 minutes for another feed) where they both fall asleep "Pa en sy kind" whilst I carry on feeding the other darling. It's quite an experience and one that I wouldn't miss for the world! How lucky can a girl get?

I can't believe that the pregnancy is over already....it seemed like it would be forever, and that my new place in the world was being seated almost permanently on the loo with a pea-sized bladder...ha ha ha! My tummy is shrinking by the day so I can almost see my feet again :) Brad say's I still look pregnant, but hey, there was ALOT of stretching that happened there ;)

All is going really well...and feel like an old pro already, but again we have really easy daughters that burp themselves...not a wind to speak of!

Honestly, there are ONLY two things that get to me:

1. the crying that gets more and more frantic/unhappy (shakes me up quite a bit, but I do try to remain calm and not get frazzled).....when....
2. I have to battle with a million press-studs on a babygrow to undress them to change a soiled nappy and then battle my arse off redressing them and putting all those press-studs back together whilst there's this little person telling me in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS how unhappy they are with their fumble-fingered Mommy by kicking and squirming all over the place ;)

They are growing bigger by the day - and you can see it happening!!!!! and wiggle-worming their way all around their bed....and rolling over onto their backs or their tummies! Amazing!!!!

Anyway at the mo life is full of half-finished jobs - a half-typed email to friends.....this blog that should've been posted on Wednesday and it's now Friday!!!! So apologies for the delay, but here it is all the same.

Chat soon and lots of Love
Linda, Brad, Jessica, Sarah and kitty cat

A working dad

So dad went home at 15:30 today and had a nice sleep. Then he had to do a little work but had to do a little babysitting whilst mommy was feeding. Of course work stopped and i could not resist spending time with my darleeng - we have one name and one still to be named so you guys will have to wait it out another day!

a humbling experience

Sorry about the sound quality - for those geeks - its a .mov file which my iphone makes and youtube does encode correctly into .mp4 will change it to mp4 next time - but for this one you will have to turn down the sound because i am not doing it again

Congrats

Hi Brad & Linda! Congrats on the birth of your 2 little darlings. Love Sandy
