Weekly updates???

Firstly I must apologise because I had decided that I would update the blog weekly, but oh my God there's two - thus rendering me incapable of keeping up with my own ideas! And that's with live in Nannies - what's it going to be like when I'm on my own?!!!!

Anyway, I've added some more photos for your perusal. Not much to report really. Madeline last weighed 9lb13 1/2oz nearly a week ago - Thursday's the big day for next weigh in so we'll have to wait and see. Jessica's enjoying slightly less attention - "I can get up to mischief now and they don't notice it as much". So the step is becoming a regular feature of daily life. A chance to sit and think about things! And I'm gradually getting used to perpetual feeding, nappy changing and tyrant impersonating! The joys of motherhood.

A cursory apology - to all those who I haven't phoned recently. It's not because I don't like you, or because I've been "eaten by alsatians" - I'm just exceptionally busy doing nothing at the moment. Hopefully life will calm down and I'll be able to do some desperately needed contacting soon.

The first week

Not a huge amount has happened. My milk has come in - wow! There's a lot! If only she'd wake up occassionally to have some then perhaps I wouldn't be exploding all the time. Anyway, we're all coping so far, all dressed and fed when Nick comes home from work - something he didn't ought to get used to seeing as it takes forever to do one child, let alone the other and myself! Who knows what'll happen come next week!

Anyway, for those who need to know about all things medical, the midwife has checked her over again, weighed her and is very happy. Oh and I'm doing fine too! At the last weigh in (on Friday) Maddy had lost 4oz, thus weighing 9lb 6oz, which is all normal and good apparently so no one need worry! She had a heel prick test too which made her scream - it wasn't pleasant but she doesn't seem to be too scarred as you will see in the following photos.

So that's about it. Last night she went for 9 hours without milk, unfortunately she did scream for the first 2 of them as she had tummy ache and wanted to poo! Nice! To add insult to injury, she timed it so perfectly that we didn't get 7 hours sleep, Jessica woke up after about 5 hours - so sleep deprivation still available in this house. If anyone needs larger suitcases - Pete & Courtney maybe? - just let us know, the bags under our eyes are cavernous!

What Madeline seems to do most in life - it's hard work you know!

Ahhh!

Eyes open for a change!

We've worn them out!

More of the same!

Not an enormous amount has happened around here since the last post. There's too many children around for anything of any consequence to occur. I am now out of hospital (a day early) after begging incessantly to be "released". I think they were sick of me asking the same question and thought let's just get shot of her - probably a wise move and something Nick can empathise with if no one else can!

Anyway, I have added some more photos for you perusal. Enjoy!
