    Must have been the night for it SS, Caitlyn slept from 9:30/45ish (can't remember when she went up, just remember hubby offering me a beer at 10pm so she was def up by then..) and woke up about 7:20!

    I woke up a couple of times just to listen to her breathing lol...

    I meant to say, the other night she woke up at 1:40 and was really wailing, wouldn't settle at all and kept making moves towards lying on the bed... I don't feed her if she wakes that soon after bed, but I told hubby he might aswell lay her next to me seeing as we couldn't quieten her at all... She literally snuggled into me, and went to sleep, no feeding at all! Just wanted a cuddle lol....
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    MFD probably finished talking about it now but I don't see what it's got to do with ex what you, hubby and B do when she has her son at home! DSS would have been with MIL if she had n't insisted she have him instead!

    CBeebies is awful but I quite like C5, apart from Noddy! I actually hate him so much I think I may have issues!
    Hes a jumped up wee tit!

    :rotfl: Yes, you have issues!!!

    I am incredibly tired today despite only being out ast night until 10.30pm! Did have 3 drinks though, maybe that's it. And A was back to being up at 5am for a feed. Bless him, I didn't even wake up until he was actually crying after he went back down either. It was 7.30 so he was prob awake for at least 30 mins before he woke me! :eek:

    Tara how many cupcakes would you need? Those boxes are ok but not that sturdy. If we think a courier would manage to keep the box the right way up I have boxes to send them in. (Asda tupperware boxes hold cupcakes much more snugly and are actually cheaper than cake boxes! :money: )

    SJ, Tara, there's a website where you request quotes for couriers for specialist items, so if you specified "fragile cupcakes" they could quote for delivery. Our bed is being delivered by the company who bid the lowest, our quotes outside the quote-auction thing were three times what we're paying.

    Hope you get the wedding plans sorted out Tara.

    Busy day here. Need to do some housework as we've got family coming over tomorrow for a tea party. Charlotte is 3 on Wednesday, but with jobs etc., it's easier for everyone to get over here tomorrow.
    Here I go again on my own....

    Right, quotes requested. Tara you are 275 miles away from me!! Not entirely sure that the cost of the courier would be cheaper than those M&S cupcakes, however the cupcakes would be nicer lol :D

    We're finished with the Tour of Dodgy 70s Music Videos Husband has been inflicting on Molly because she's gone for a nap. On the plus side, she loves Iggy Pop and loathes Boston :rotfl:

    Ebay photos and clearing out my sock drawer on the list for today. Damn, but things are exciting when you have a baby. Actually, the New York Times has a moment in time thing going on today where you're supposed to take photos at 4pm and we're going to do that later on. The plan was to go to the Englischer Garten but the weather is a little bit unlikely.

    Morning...we also had a pretty good night. I'm starting to think that maybe we do need a blackout blind after all, as Finn slept until 6:45 and it's all dark & rainy outside. The blind we have now is pretty good, so I thought he was just waking up because he's a baby but might see what happens over next few nights. Oh and also Finn's didn't wake for food until 3:30!! :T (so 6pm to 3:30am for feeds, woopwoop)

    I about killed DH last night! Sometime after midnight, heard Finn crying so I nudged DH awake (he TOLD me to before going to bed). He clearly wasn't all the way awake and stumbled into the bathroom rather than Finn's room. So I got up to attend to Finn (grumble grumble) thinking that DH would come in to take over after leaving the bathroom. Instead he goes straight back to bed and sleep!! He swears to me this morning that he doesn't remember any of it. Men.

    Getting our free photographer coming over today - of course it's horribly rainy so no pretty outdoor shots :(.

  • Managed a bit of a nap :)

    I had best haul my a$$ out of bed, hubby came up with a coffee and to tell me Benjamin had eaten breakfast...I am guessing a lie-in AND a bath would be cheeky lol
