So last night the girls slept for 6 hrs - and boy did i have a good sleep :) Only problem is that 2 hrs after that feed they woke up and so did dad and he could not go back to sleep because he had just a great sleep. Whilst downstairs i booted up my trusty mac and had a realization that it would be great for my girls to get an email address, but not just any old email address a google one like mom and dad that they could use forever, it will not matter where they live or work they will always have a central email address. Now if i waited till they needed an email address then they might end up with jess9hemphill or whatever but not the intuitive one thats after their own name! So i settled for jessica.mikayla.hemphill and sarah.grace.hemphill and they now have email addresses! Now you might think this is odd and geekish and why should they not choose an alias one like "sarahpookie" - well of course they can! but they will always have the serious one and can always forward or do whatever they want with the emails and i promise you they will be clever enough to sort out what and how they want it!
The importance of a properly named email is not to be underestimated. Your email address is not your online identity and nobody can steal it! it is your online PO BOX address that people can send you mail that you want and dont want, without it many will find it difficult to communicate with you!
Of course what about when the get married? well i think i will just forget about that thought for at least the next 25 years! now where is that double bore shotgun licence application :)

My right hand
Dear all!
Jessica weighed in at 4kg's on the dot today and Sarah weighed in at 3.92kg's, and Cred said they are doing really well! Yaaaaaaaaay! Brad will add to the stats on the top right ;)
Sindiswa (who goes by the name of Viv) our nanny started last Tuesday and is great with the girls. When they are both screaming for food (and this generally happens at the same time as the set each other off), Viv holds one whilst I feed the other...and it's a system that works, because they don't get to a state of hyperventilation, and neither do I !
Viv starts at 8am and leaves at 3.30pm. I usually then take them for a walk and start the bath proceedings by 4.30pm so the girls are all in bed by 5.30pm. I'm sure I'll get faster, but for now it takes about 30-minutes each...as time is spent pacifying the waiting/finished one. I've started reading Peter Pan to them...OK trying to...as the crying whilst they settle down interrupts a bit, then it's lights out by 6pm.
At the mo they feed every 2 hours in the day, and are then doing 4-hourly and sometimes 3-hourly feeds at night, which is great. However sometimes it always isn't so easy to get them back to sleep after a feed, and I can stand there for up to an hour whilst they niggle and whimper.
Brad complains about how tired he is, and surprised I ask why, as he mostly sleeps through all the feeds...but then he tells me after I've passed out comatose after a feed, he's the one standing at the baskets trying to get them to sleep ;)))))....aaah the bliss of ignorance?
Signing off....night night & God Bless

2 months already!!!!
Hello All!
We turned 2 months yesterday (10 November)....hip hip hooray! But the downside is that we had to go for our 6-in-1 jab today (first in a course of 3 jabs). Good but not so good ;) We were very good and both of us only cried for a little bit before Mommy pacified us. She does such a great job.... ;) Nice one Mommy!!!! She said Daddy would be very proud of us :))))
The lady at the clinic is also very kind and was very gentle. Thanks Cred!
The jab is quite low-dose, but made us sleepy, so we slept most of the afternoon. However since we woke up, we've been very hungry and have fed every hour with a lot of crying in between to tell Mommy how much we didn't like the whole thing...ha ha ha!
Till later!
Lots of Love
Jessica and Sarah

Our new "milking" chair
Chinzy had the first go, then the girls sat and waited for Mommy to get ready for their feed.
