Hi Gail xx
how are you and the boys?
We are all ok - Jacks still being really kind and loving - bless him x though at times he is a little over the top !!
but he has been excellent .Owen is doing well - still a milk monster wants milk every 3 hours !! during the nite he still wake every 3 hours but only has 2 oz then falls off to sleep , hopefully he'll start to go longer during the nite ! the hv said that between 8 and 11 weeks they start to go longer during the night then all night - here's hoping!
i'll be back in a short while owen crying and jack making music !!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi again, just got home, took boys into town, The christmas lights are going on tonight and there was a meet and greet with Dora the explorer so i thought ben would love it, he did he got really chuffed lol
Had Sam weighed this week too he was 8lb 12oz born and at 4 weeks old he is now 10lb 2oz (little fatty) saying that he doesn't look fat because he's so long, what does owen weigh now?
Sam seems to want feeding every 3 to 3 n a half hours today, not sure wether to put him on hungry baby food, hope he's still ok at night, Andy should be home in min so i get half hour to myself for an uninterrupted cup of coffee, i do look forward to it...
spk soon x x x x Gail n boys
p.s sam is a month old exactly today....scary

Hi, glad you managd to get to Sainsburys, i got a few bargains for Ben and a couple of things for Sam too so i'm glad i went. Andy dropped me off at school this morning so i dropped ben off and power walked home with sam in his pram lol, i was shattered, it took me half hour so if i do that a few times a week i'll be ok. too far for ben to walk so couldn't walk there and back. i feel like i've done a workout
how are you and your boys? Owen is gorgeous, all that dark hair too, if i get chance i'll send you pic of ben so you can see the difference in them both.... although Sam is image of ben when ben was a baby. (if that makes sense, lol)
well got to go, Sam due feed soon and i haven't made one up. Spk soon

Hi Sarah, sorry not been in touch and sorry not posted card yet, i'm useless.
Sam sleeping 6 hours most nights but is having growth spurt at min, he's taking 5oz every 3 and a half hours in day, he weighs 10lb 2oz now, had him weighed today at clinic. he is fab and i can't believe how much he's fitted in with everything, Ben is still great with him and has bought him a christmas present (a musical nursery rhyme book and musical phone, lol) he chose it himself, he wants to cuddle him all the time but is sometimes a little 'full on' and cuddles very hard.
Sam is mesmorised by Ben and watches his every move, he has even smiled at ben, i'm sure he was born at 3 months, put him on his tummy to play and he had a paddy and rolled himself onto his back, me and Andy were in shock. he's done it twice since
I just wish this weather would brighten up so i can go power walking with the pram lol i need to shift this jelly belly.....
How is Jon and jack? how is the you and Jon time going??? i still haven't done the deed yet
think because i had 2nd degree tears i am still a little nervous, and the fact that i've only just stopped bleeding, i want to try now but i'm scared of the scar ripping or it hurting lolWell i'm going to go and sort Ben's tea out now and tidy the house a little, i will try to pop on here again later or tomorrow, if not i'll text you, spk soon Sarah, My love you you, Jon Jack and Owen

hi gail xx
yey - i've found the computer!!
i normally text u wen feeding owen - so apologies i haven't been on here for ages, i must admit wen the 1st november arrived i thought of us and the journey to due in october 08! and now we have our darlings here with us. i feel so out of touch with bounty i must get on more as i feel like a stranger lol xx
anyway how r u and the boys .. i include andy too. i cant believe you had a full nites sleep with sam - wow wot a fab little man xx i'm still up with owen 3 hourly he seems to have a bottle at 9pm,12 midnite, 3am then 6!! though saying that the 3 am one comes between 2 and 3 and can take from 45 mins upto 2hours!!! so tell me ur secret how have u got sam in that ... even one nite i'd welcome with arms wide open!
hmmmm i kno wot u mean about being in mummy daddy mode its taken me this long since jack to realise jon and i have lost us mode forgot us totally in the scheme of things - we used to be so focused and committed to us that all seems to of disapeared! jons made me realise i think he's had time to think lately and realised a whole hoste of things some good but lots of niggles xx i'm hoping we pull through it but its hard! we r trying to put some focus back on us and be aware of how we treat each other xx i think jon see's other couples and truly believes that they all have wonderful relationships with no worries or nagging!!! yeah rite oh!.
don't get me started on my fat! its terrible .. i'm not a slim thin thing anyway but boy i still look so preganant the top of my belly still is hard like my bump and then theres all the flab! errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ..... jon keeps asking wen we r having the baby which aint helping - i must loose it as it really does have an effect on me and in turn effects my relationship with jon xx we cant afford a gym so i need to get motivated, i'm sure you look fine ur photo shows ur lovely and slim xx but i know its how you feel and how differant you are to pre birth - that saying i never returned to pre birth from jack!!!!! lazy cow i am or contented!.
owen is growing ... he's a real milk monster!! lol xx just the same as jack was, i have the h.v coming on friday to see us so will see how much he weighs, i think they r keeping a close eye on me as with wots happened with mum but tbh i'm really good at putting a face on and saying i'm fine!
we burried my auntie yesterday - that was really hard so many emotions came back to the surface xx as a family we have said no more! we cant cope with any more deaths in a year we've had my uncle, mum and now auntie.... not good xx rip to each of them., not forgetting my best friends mum too. the family are meeting at dads on sat nite for fireworks we did it last year and mum said then that she wanted us to do it this year so we r in her and the others memory xx dad has bought £200 worth of display fireworks and my cousin has £100 worth so we shud have a good display along with pie,peas and gravy, burgers ..., and jkt spuds n chiil and bucket fulls of booze xx - jons on fireworks , i'm on food with a bottle close to hand and the family will watch the boys1 and dad well he'll just soak in the family and the whiskey - to keep him warm of course! xx have u got plans....
i'm sorry i've gone off on one .. well neighbours is about to start and i need to run round like a mad one to get stuff done i'm so lazy still or is it i'm shattered!
big hugs to you and yours xx
takecare, sarah xxxxx

28/10/08 19:50
Hi again, thought i'd write on here, can't fit too much into a text message, glad you and jon are better, me and andy are good, not sure if i told you he finally quit the band, he's spending more time with us and helping around the house more. we need to start investing is 'us' and we have just got used to being 'mummy' and 'daddy'
i feel so tired and Sam is good at night, Ben used to get up 2-3 times a night so we are so lucky with Sam, even when he wakes in night he ony wakes once (touch wood) he's been awake now since 6pm so i'm worried he'll be overtired, he just won;t go sleep....
I will post your card at the weekend. i'm going looking round a gym at weekend but can't really afford to join, gonna work out finances and see, i really need to do something to shift the baby weight now, my tummy has gone down loads but still look like i'm 5 months pg but its a jelly belly.... i feel so fat and frumpy at the moment.
Hope Jack is still ok with 'frank' lol i think that is so cute.
Well, must go, i have to nip to tesco as we have run out of dentinox colic drops, don't want to risk not using them...... i had to take him docs yesterday, he has nasty rash on his face, doctor gave him some cream.
Speak soon Sarah, take care and rest as much as you can. Sorry again to hear about your auntie x
All my love, Gail x x x

hi gail xx
sorry i haven't been on here xx
we are all doing ok - as i text i wish i cud get a little more sleep at nite but it will come with time i'm sure xx owen goes anything upto 3hours little monkey xx he seems to take longer during the nite to settle but thinking bout it its probaly coz i sit up in bed , am not as comfy and tired myself ..... so must feel differant to him xx i have a glider chair in his room might bring it into ours or go and feed him in there jon may get more slee i takep then as we disturb him , as he drives i try to take the nightson but i'm so tired xx
jacks fab still loves his frank lol xx did i tell u that wen we registered owen we named him owen rhys frank ...... mad i kno i just think in years to come it will be great for the boys - and jacks always called him frank !!!!
jon went back to work a week after we came home - tbh it was the best thing to do as it got me in my routine, weekends are hard though!
jon and i r ok - we r trying to invest in us = on fri i cooked us a 3 course meal - all jons favs we had wine , champayne with strawberrys!! and baileys xx it was gr8 just like old times xx i think since having jack we have 4got about us so we plan to sit eat and talk 2gether away from tv etc once a week but we wont be having the extravagance!!! its hard still wot with one thing and another! xx
well better make a start on tea - spaghetti bolognaise or lasagne 2nite xx both the same prep so will go with wotever f;oats my boat once cooked the meat lol.

Hi Sarah, i'm good, Sam slept 7 hours again last night for 2nd night... just need to change his last feed time to around 11pm then we'll have cracked it. Andy just fed him, he's changing him now then we're off to Asda for breakfast
Sounds like you and Jon are doing well, me n Andy doing ok, had major talk last week as he seriously me down on Saturday, i was really ill and couldn't pick Sam up or sleep or eat and he went out to do a gig but was out ages, my mum n dad took ben off me for the night but they we're fuming with him too (which is rare as they think a lot of him) anyway i told him he was so close to me asking him to leave and if he ever lets me down again he's out.... He's quit the band and does his last gig on 15th Nov. I know he felt bad and regretted it but it didn't help me at the time. He's been brill since.
Ben is still loving Sam, How is Jack with Owen? still good i hope.
I am doing lots of walking with pram to try n loose the weight but every time i go walking i suffer after with very heavy bleeding, was you like this???
Well i'm going to go now, get myself ready for my brekkie
Andy back at work Monday and its half term so Ben is off. Is Jon back at work? how are you managing with a routine? we're not really in a routine as such as Sam feeds anything from 3 to 4 hourly. Well spk soon, i will try to get on here more. Take care and enjoy your boys, i know i'm lovin mine so much
Love Gail and Sam (10 days)

bump xx
u ok hun ?
21/10/08 08:36
Hi Gail
well i thought i'd make the most of Jack at the childminders and Owen asleep - xx
How are you and your family - the boys !!! sorry i havent been in touch i just dont know where the time /; day goes .....
are you finding this or is it just me ? has Andy gone back to work yet ?
Has Sam sorted his day time and night time yet? Owens into going back to sleep after his feeds in the night but during the day he's more alert / awake , i've got his bouncy chair down as he seems to be getting naffed off in his moses basket .... no stay a baby !! as he's my last one
no more for us .....i think Johns going to go for the snip ! or if not i'll have the injection / coil .... how about you guys? we've decided that 2 is enough john is 43yrs now and money is tight plus having the other 2 !! i'm ok with it but i find the whole thing wonderful but i'm using my head . we have 2 wonderful boys... i think we need to focus on that and each other! xxhow r u and Andy? Jon and i are ok , i seem to be more myself and we r both trying .... dont get me wrong we have had some real wobbley moments but both dont want to loose what we have so i guess its about investing in us. Jon made a comment in the heat of an argument the other day and it really got me thinking - he said that things have slipped the past few years , neither of us expect it to be as it was wen we first met but .. u know ! i think since having Jack my focus has changed b4 jon was my sole focus and i ensured i met every need
and he made me feel i was the only woman alive and that no matter what shape i was he wanted me ! my confidance was at an all time high something i had never had ...... so my mission is to rekindle that , we seem to be doing a good job of it if u get my drift ! Well sweetie i will give you a text to say hi xx
takecare sugar
love n huggs
Sarah xx & Owen 18 days old xx
Bumping so we don;t get lost, i will come on tomorrow, failing that i'll text you hun x x hope you managed to get somewhere with hv and doc. i'm thinking same about sam now, gonna spk to hv tomorrow x x
