hiya, i am still here! Tend to read and run mostly these days as barely have time to reply.

We are all fine and well. Lauren is over from the UK on Wed night so I am looking forward to that. Kids are so excited. She lands at 9.30pm so they wont see her till the next morning.

Once she leaves the in laws are coming out for 3 looooooooooooooong weeks!!!!!! lol. No, they are fine really and get involved with the kids and cook meals etc... Andrew and I are going to go away for a night to have a bit of loving!!!! ha ha, I just want sleep.

Amelia for the FIRST TIME EVER slept through last night. I was so shocked. Fingers crossed this is it!!!!

I have that broody feeling back. I have carried and delivered 5 kids but I just crave another. I am so pleased I| was sterilised as I have enough on my plate at the moment. I watched One Born Every Min and OMG I just want to do it all again. I cry everytime a baby is born. Its such a feeling. I miss it.

My 16yr old has decided he wants to apply for the police when he is 18! I am pleased as he wanted to join the army.
My 5yr old needs an intensive hearing test as he says he cannot always hear the teacher! hmmm we will see what that throws up.
My 4yr old needs his ears and adanoids checking. He also needs an op on his willy for hypospadius and a birth mark on his neck removed. We are doing some behaviour charts with him as he has been a bit highly strung of late. He bit a boy at shcool and also pulled his hair. We are working with the teacher to sort him out with lots of positive praise.
Amelia has an umbilcal hernia which needs a small op as its not reparied itself and she is now 2!

Bet you wished you hadn't asked..lol

how are you? not too long to go! Seems to be a glut of girls at the mo. All my pregnant friends are having grls. Have you got a name yet??

Hi girls, how is everyone?
Elaine, I'm glad you wrote this post hun. I was going to do something simular when I had the chance. Hope you, bump and the boys are well???

It's been a bit mental in our house this weekend. OH is decorating the lounge, so we've only just put the computer back together! In our room mind as he hasn't finished yet!
My two eldest both have chicken Pox! So I'll doubt I'll be on for a few days during the day esp as they will both be off school and nursary for a bit. Charlie got it Thursday so she can go back Tuesday if she's well enough, but Molly's only came out today so I should think she'll be off till after Easter now. I'm just waiting for Livs to come out in it too!! Just hope it doesn't ruin Easter for us.

Dee lovely to hear from you too hun. Great news about your youngest sleeping through at last. I hope it continues!! I love One born every minute too! Doesn't put me off in the least! I'm another one who can't watch it without floods of tears when the babies are actually born!! Love it!!!

Look forward to hearing from everyone when you get the chance ladies.

Sarah and girls x x x x

S and S, OH NO Chicken Pox. It is doing the rounds out here too but alarmingly its the teenagers that are getting it. Amelia got the vaccination so hopefully she won't get it! Eveyrone else in the house has had except ME!!! I was tested when pregnant and it came up immune so hopefully I wont get it.

I have so much to do (see my post) and I look at the list everyday and see what I can get done. Then I call a friend and go for coffee and cake instead..lol The list keeps getting longer and longer! Ah well, there is always tomorrow!

Come on everyone else, updates please. :\)

Hi girls, I am still here too!!! only have timne to come on once a week or so and then its normally read and run im afraid!

hubby has changed shifts AGAIN so routine is up in the air and changing weekly and taking alot of getting used to!

Baby is doing well, hes a right little porker, at 8 weeks he is in 3-6 months clothes and scoffing his food . Had to stop bf him which is a shame, I was on so much antibiotics that it kept giving him a bad tummy and my milk was drying up causing him to fuss and pull on the old boobies...ouch!

on good note my eldest two had glowing parnts evening reports and are really doing well.........................yippeeeeeeeeeee! so no worries there.

DD2 is...............................still the hardest work, still the one that drives me nuts, still being a self centered little monster. I try and try not to judge her behavour as something other than her just being a 4yr old BUT dear me is it trying. She is without a doubt her own person and as her nursery says she is what she is lol!!
The thing I am dreading is her starting school in Sept, the teachers are happy to have my other twos little sister starting but I dont think they realise just how un-like them she is lol! she def carries a "warning" sign lol!

Glad on the whole you are ok, will try and get on here a bit more soon, I miss our chats and your company lol!!!!!

take care all of you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

im ok, things are hard so i tend to read n run. follow up ends in june and i was sooo looking forward to it and now im just scared, like it will wait n hide until follow up is over and then pounce! rediculous i know but there it is all the same. any way thats it from here, kids are good , hubby good just me being mental

xxxxxxxxxxxx

I am still around, though finding the time to come on has just been beyond me recently. Dh is gone for two months and so being on my own with the four los I just haven't figured out my juggling act atm.

Babe still has yet to be named, he's 11 days old and is huge. He was weighed yesterday and is 12 pounds 1 onz. I am 5'1 and quite slight so it really must be his father's genetics. He is an angel, he is so good natured and easy going, I could spend all day snuggled up with him. My only complaint is that my breast are removable, as this guy likes to eat pretty much non stop.

dd1 has decided she hates school, hates doing anything really and has her nose out of joint about everything. I ask her please don't throw your coat on the floor, and she strops. She is 5 wishing she was 18 and out with her friends.

dd2 is dd1's mini me, but in truth really just wants to be cuddled.

and dd3 is in the midst of being two, with too much energy, too much creativity, and too little day light hours with which to pack it all into. Did you know eggs can be inserted in the hoover nozzel? They explode when mum comes along and unknowingly turns it on. Or how about the fact that when you keep telling her wee, and she puts you on the potty and is confused why you never wee, it's because actually you were peeing on clean clothes and then putting them back in the drawers.


They are wonderful blessings, but I so need four extra hands.

Hi, I'm still about, not been on for a while as things have been pretty hectic, Isaac has had different assessments from different people and his difficulties have been listed as Pragmatic language difficultis, sensory problems, motor planning and perception problems along with co-ordination difficulties and possibly dyspraxia, the paed hasnt ruled out aspergers or high functioning autism but doesnt want to officially diagnose at such an early age, his development is listed as between 16 and 26 months and he is 3 next month so quite a significant delay. Also speaking to the paed he asked about phil being diagnosed when Isaac was younger so that bought up a whole load of bad memories for me which I am finding a bit difficult to deal with at the moment.

Then Isaac has been poorly, he had the sickness bug that was going round but also had an underlying infection which caused his temperature to rocket to above 40 and I couldnt bring it down, he wasn't fitting but the paed said he was having something called hypnagogic hallucinations, they can be normal but he was having so many of them because his temp was so high, anyway after a day and night in hospital and a drip which took several attempts to get in becuase he was so dehydrated he is now on the mend and getting back to being his usual self.

Sorry for the ramble, how are you doing, not long till your bub arrives now, I bet you are getting excited.
