Hi girls,
Long time no see!lol
I hope everyone`s ok,Carla how`s you and your little gem?
Lel,i think sol`s teething too,his cheeks are bright red and he`s always chewing his fists and dribbling for scotland.Saying that,maya was 18months before she walked or got a tooth and she dribbled alot too when she was small.
Talking about maya-she`s still not well,still on paracetamol every 4-6hrs and back on more penicillin,her throat`s still infected,her body is flaring up in a rash all the time and her temp has to be kept down so things are mad here.I think maybe that she`s developed psoriasis tho,i just read it can be brought on by the strep throat she`s got,that would explain why she`s so red and dry.
I think...Ali hope things are ok.
Im off again,gotta get some kip.take care x

Knackered but wanted to say hi and omg those pictures are so cute. Gorgeous kids you have Carla!! Sounds like you are settling down with Sam now, not been that long since the last time so you'll be organised soon, lol. Teagan has found her voice for the last few weeks and she's louder than Aidan, she sounds like a Town Crier she's so loud! She widnae need the bell to get attention that's for sure!
Juls how is Sol getting on? We think Tea is teething, she's dribbling something awful and being sick a lot. That's how Aidan was but it took til 6 months for his first tooth so a lot of sick was produced before it was sorted! lol Hope you get your gate thingy, sounds like you can't let the kids out without worrying. And your wall too! That isn't going to fall on the kids is it?! Get the councillor guy on that asap!!
Ali, enjoying the silence? Bet you and Noah are living it up, or down, whichever you want really! lol
Anyone know where Shaz went? She's not been on for donks now.
3 dirty nappies yesterday, I hate formula!!!!!!!!

Aww he`s gorgeous,eilidh is a cutie too carla,he`s very like his sister isn`t he.
I`m just flying through while eating my toasted cheese,i didn`t think i was going to get to eat it with missy,she`s being a horror today and has been changed 4times so far......Had the local councillor down earlier we`ve been trying to get a gate fitted to the entrance to our houses,it`s a driveway round to the carpark and all the kids run out towards the street when they are playing,it`s right next to the main irish ferry through road,which has lorries thundering past at all hours.Hopefully he`ll get it sorted for us and we can relax out the back.
Right toast is done,missy is going out with her daddy and it`s turned out such a nice day................I`m off into the garden to dodge the bricks that fall out of our listed boundery wall!...
another job for the councillor 
Have a great day.

Oh have managed to upload some photos of Sam [ not many of him yet!!!] and of Eilidh when she was smaller, from my phone!!!! You can have a quick look!!! Will add some more recent ones of both her and her brother when my phone is charged!
12/4/08 13:45
Just a quick hello inbetween nappies, milk feeds and lunches lol!!!!!!
Sam is settling down nicely. Was quite grouchy first few days and nights but touch wood, has slept quite well at night. Had his last feed last night at 10:30 and didnt wake until 4am!!!!!! - not bad going considering he is 9 days old lol!!!! Eilidh is also getting used to him. She smiles when i say cry baby!!!!!!!!! and copies when i say shhhhh baby sleeping!!!!!
Strangely enough my big girl is now refusing her last milk feed. Feel i am saying bye bye to her baby hood already
She just hasnt wanted it the last few nights, which is just so unlike her. I thought she might have wanted it more seing Sam getting his!Anyway, have one foot on my bouncer bouncing Sam to sleep lol!!!!! Eilidh has gone for a nap and my boys and dh are all away out!
Its quiet at last!! [ mmmm not for long!]

Evening ladies,Aww he`s gorgoeus Carla,what a picture of health and happiness.
I just thought i`d say hi in my few moments of peace,unfortunately that was about 1hr ago,my pc went awol and now my dd is demanding attention so i`m off again.
Hope everyone`s ok,catch up soon.x

Oh Carla he looks adorable!... I always forget how much work they are and just think about the nice stuff... and get a bit broody!
Boys are driving me mad... all they want to do is play their video games, and fight. Noah is picking up the theme and is running around with a wii controller and a cushion ( to whack us with) Oh the joys!
8/4/08 11:13
He's adorable Carla!! Gorgeous!!
We're starting with the jealousy here now, took his time did Aidan eh?! Think he kept thinking she would go away, lol. He tried to give Tea her bottle the other day so that's an improvement here. Sounds like you have it all already. Maybe it's a girly thing, wanting to be mummy. Aidan just wants a new toy he can chuck about!
Braehead sounds fine to me whenever your body and soul lets you function. Just let me know whenever. I'l leave Aidan at granny's that day cos you wouldn't get 5 mins with that boy! Terror tumsh will be with me though, heaven forbid she isn't with mummy, wee klingon that she is.
Glad all is going well anyway and it's nice to see his wee face,
Keep well.
Juls, how are you doing with your little ray of sunshine?
Ali, how are you with the boys off, nightmare I bet!

Well thanks to my dh i managed to update my avatar picture to show off Sam!!!!!!!! Dont have any photos on my profile though but thought this would do at the moment. x
Had a few sleepless nights lol!!! It seems sam hates lying flat but enjoys his bouncer!!!!! Have propped his moses basket up tonight in the hope that maybe i can catch a longer sleep!!!! We will see. I gave him his first bath tonight as he hadnt had a chance to get one in the hospital!!!- and i have yet another water babe!!! He loved it. Eilidh also loves her bath. My other sons would cry and cry when they were little!
Eilidh has been fine with Sam. A bit of the green eyed monster comes out when he has his milk but i make sure, as does dh , that she has plenty of attention. I think she finds him quite strange. She knicks his dummies lol but has also been kind enough to offer him her juice.
I have loads of girls stuff too lel, maybe we could arrange to meet up and swap some stuff!!!! - not now though as i havent been able to get over the doorstep!!!!! Braeheads always good!
Anyway, chat again soon. x

Welcome baby Sam! i was just saying to dp about all my baby clothes and wondered if you would have a little boy and whether you wanted anything! Checked the posts and there you were!
Oh so happy for you, one of each, how nice to end your family on that note. Yes, ended, you said NEVER AGAIN remember, lol.
Congrats to you and yours and hear all the details soon.

Don`t do this again carla!
ohh go girl,puuuuuuuuush.
hope it all goes quick and your home with your wee bundle soon.x
I`m grabbing 5 mins,maya is on the mend I hope.It isn`t scarlet fever(rife down here atm),she`s being treated the same though and was back at docs this morning,she`s been complaining of sore legs and joints and i`ve to keep her on the paracetamol and nurofen till sunday to keep her temp at bay,he said she`s at risk of more convulsions till she`s 5!! jeez,every time she gets not well i`ll be on pins
Your off to bed lel and i`m just getting something to eat,I better shoot,just wanted to see how our carla was doing.Hope your all good.
3/4/08 21:10
Ooooooooooooohh I've been up since 3 so I'm going to bed. Hope it all happens quickly and with as little effort and pain as possible! Oh I'm so tired and now I'm all excited for you!
But, you need to promise you will NEVER do this again!!
To spur you on, dp got his appt in today for the snip! Unless you do a DIY job on your dh during labour, lmao, tell him he's going so you can't be in the situation again!! (was that too harsh!, lol)
Where is everyone?????? Hope everyone is ok and you are all doing fine. I do still get on Bounty lol but not as often as i used too. Ds is to blame and my dd. she had become quite a cheeky monkey!!! Had a nighmare of an evening where Sam just didnt stop crying. He woke dd up and they were both screaming!!!!!! Still it was a blip! [ or so i am hoping lol]
Just a quick post. chat again soon. x
