    piggers is Freja sleeping in her crib now?

    yes, not the big cot.. her little wicker crib which I just adore and don't ever want her to outgrow! Her feet touch the bottom and her head is about 2 inches from the top.. but she is so settled in it (and it is at OHs side of the bed so I don't have to get her out for feeds lol)

    Hullo, just updating and running so I can finish a few bits while the sickly baby sleeps. He has an awful cough - wouldn't surprise me if it turns into croup - and keeps bringing up entire feeds. Regurgitated cauliwobble cheese does not smell pleasant... And when he's awake he wont let me out of his sight for longer than 10 seconds. He wont be comforted by OH either, which upsets OH, especially as DS1 is a huge Daddy's boy, but makes me feel a teeny bit smug. Is that mean? :p

    Anyway, must carry on....

    Helly.. Freja doesn't like going to OH either she is such a mummy's girl.. she just screams the minute he gets her and stops the instant I take her back.. He gets really upset and I get no time to do anything! I have tried telling her she is meant to be a daddy's girl!

    Had a good HHC
    I wiped the cupboards down and whilst i was doing that the twins gave the baby a tub of popcorn to throw all over the floor i cleaned this morning.
    I swept up the popcorn and tried to rectifyed the sofa
    I have emptied, cleaned and decluttered the dreaded pan cupboard
    I then emptied and paired the tupperware tubs and lids and cleaned out that cupboard - rather embarassed to discover that out of around 40 tubs we only had 5 lids that match!
    i have sparkled the kitchen sink and taps.

    Off to feed the stroppy baby now
