Think i may book myself into the travel lodge for a decent nights sleep lol.
Last night Paul's alarm went off 3 hours early so he thought it was 6am but it was actually 3am-argh!.He went for a shower and woke the girls up,it then took Madison over an hour and half to get back to sleep but she did then sleep till 7 whereas Liv got up at 6 and is still full of beans.I wish i had her energy lol.
Work again today :( at least it is my last day in hehe.
I'm currently waiting for a delivery from approved foods which does food at discount prices either becase they have just past their date or they have them in bulk.Hopefully i will get the one hour delivery slot soon otherwise i'm going to miss it!
We bought quite a bit including 6 packets of pasta!.The girls can't get enough and it's such an easy tea,also 24 galaxy cake bars,i have a sweet tooth or maybe an addition? haha but hey it's Christmas soon,why not put on an extra few pounds.
Speaking of which i am taking Madison to see Father Christmas this month,it will be her first time,i hope she isn't scared.
Right i best be off seeing as i have an umbrella dangling over my head-cheers Madison more bad luck lol.

First tastes
Olivia is 21 weeks old now and had a mushed up banana today! We just put some on a spoon,gave it her and she put it straight to her mouth and wolfed it down! This was after a full milk feed too,she was still crying as if she was hungry and she was!
I don't know whether to do a few homemade purees for a few weeks or to jump straight into BLW?.She can sit up well when supported and has extremely good head control.I think ill try her with a piece of brocholli and take it from there,see how she gets on.
Sleep is still not going well,we had 6+ wakeups for milk last night and also a 4.30am poop! Yuck i wasn't expecting that lol.Bath,milky,bed seems to be working on settling Olivia shes asleep now in my arms.Wish me luck on attempt #1 on putting her in her cot lol.

Our House
Our house is haunted! There is no doubt about it.I know there are alot of non believers but if you spent a night here trust me you would be a believer by the morning!
I just love this quote,it sums up our house a treat-
"When all logical theories have been exhausted...all that is left is the illogical or the paranormal."
We have decided to get a paranormal investigation team in,now i don't know if this is a good thing or not,I am intrigued but at the same time terrified that this might make things worse.
Something needs to be done about it though,the bedroom is so eerie you just get the feeling that your not alone in there!
I mean how do you explain a doorbell going off that has NO batteries in! TWICE! Pauls an electrician and couldn't explain that one,then the other day i heard a light tapping,as did Paul a few nights before,but you just can't figure out where it is coming from.It's so very strange.
The scariest thing of all is that Paul seen a ghost,now he thinks it was his Nanna but can't be 100% sure,I hope it is his Nanna or my Grandad!
ARRGH! I think i freak myself out sometimes lol,I will update on this once the investigation has taken place.
On another happy note my Olivia Magoo is 5 months old today!! This time 5 months ago she wasn't even born and i wasn't even in labour haha.I can actually feel the bumps of her teeth now,she hasn't been half as grumpy although her sleep is doing my head in.I think a growth spurt combined with clingyness has sent her sleeping patterns off the rails,we are still doing bath,milky,bed which seems to settle her off to sleep but she just doesn't stay asleep!
Were talking a maximum of one hour,she will only sleep longer if she is with me and to be honest the last few nights she has slept on my chest so i can at least get a few hours and be less zombiefied in the morning.I know it's not going to be forever,Madison was exactly the same and when she went on forumla she was alot less clingier but i'm determined to breastfeed Olivia till she's at least one year old.
Right i best be off seeing as someone is doing me a little present haha oh the joys!

Awake but sleeping
I am so tired it is unreal.Olivia will just NOT sleep unless i am holding or nursing her.I remember Madison being like this-clingy but she wasn't half as bad as Olivia is,she won't even let Paul hold her.Olivia is asleep in my arms now,doing little sleepy smiles,she is unbelievably cute but oh how i wish she would sleep.I am going to attempt to put her in her cot again soon,this will be attempt 4/5,I've even put my top in there so she can smell my scent but nothings working,she just wants ME! which flattering it may be is wearing me out,I feel as if i'm running on empty.
Here goes to another attempt and a sleepless night.I forgot how hard they were even more harder with a toddler.I take my hat off to anyone with more than two kids.
When your a mum the nights are short,days are long,tiring,and hardwork but i wouldn't change it for the world as when i get my "big smacker" (kiss) off Madison or a gummy smile off Olivia i know its all worth it.

Bath,Milky,Bed
I have finally started getting Olivia into a routine,night two was last night,she had her bath and fell asleep on the sofa afterwards haha so i gave her a sleepy feed and she was asleep in her cot at 7.30pm! she then slept till 10pm had another feed slept till 12.30am had a feed then slept till 3am.Can you see the pattern? Every 2 and a half hours.I am so tired but thankfully Madison had a lie in this morning which is very unusual i actually got worried! She woke up at 7am instead of 6am.
I can't believe its February already,I bet this year will fly by.My maternity pay runs out in May so i'm hoping to get a new job around then,I can't face going back to my old job,yes the hours were good but the actual work was horrid and so were the majority of the people who worked there and you just know when your face doesn't fit.I'm hoping to get into care work in the evening so Paul can look after the kids,although we do still have the problem of Olivia not taking a bottle! We tried again the other night and she just messed with the teat,had a few sucks then got angry and would only feed off me.It's nice in a way that she only wants me but on the other hand when am i going to have a break?? I wanted to have a good few beers for my birthday in April but i won't be able to now lol good job i love you Olivia! And i wanted to breastfeed for a year anyway lol
Plan of action for today is to go playgroup with the girls then have a bit of shop,come home and relax ahhh,I best go and get my gorgeous girls ready.

The Big Bed Transition
Madison finally went into her big bed on Saturday night,it only took two attempts of getting her in there,which is alot less than i thought then she was fast asleep.Although she did wake up at 5am,I hate 5am wake ups! I am quite surprised that she hasn't started running around her room in the morning,she just sits in the bed with her Louie lamb bless.My little girl is not so little anymore!
My littlest Magoo Olivia is teething so badly i really feel for her,her bottom gums are red raw and two little white teeth are trying to poke through.Madison keeps saying "babies peggys coming" lol.Teething gel does work to a point but last night she was hysterical with them,usually putting her on the boob will settle her but she wouldn't even have that.Sometimes i just think that i would like a break,is that bad?
I don't seem to have time to even go to the loo in peace anymore.I love Olivia but i just need sleep,I do more a less all the caring of Olivia,is it any wonder I'm starting to feel burnt out?
Hopefully our little holiday in 2 months time and Olivia starting solids will make things a little better.
**sigh**

Sleep
Will i ever sleep through the night again? I remember being pregnant with Madison and going to bed at 5am then getting up at 4pm! Glad i made the most of it whilst i could.
Olivia has been waking up every 2/3 hours but settles back to sleep fairly easily,it's Paul who is keeping me up with his messing about at daft o clock!
I cannot even remember the last time i ever slept past 8am wherras a certain somebody got up at nearly midday yesterday.
Bleurgh exhaustion.
