updates

Another week gone by already and I have been keen to update the blog but delayed by a trip to Chris' parents. We had a nice few days there where I was able to have naps and some time with just Esther while my in-laws took Naomi out for few hours...bliss! The only downside was that I gave everyone my sore throat and Naomi woke at a ridiculous early time every morning. We are back into a better sleep routine thankfully, apart from Esther who is relentless with her 3 to 3.5 hourly feeds at night. I was expecting to be exhausted but it must be just new mums who get this incredible amount strength and ability to get through these times on very little sleep as Chris is more tired than me bless him, although he has been a bit poorly! We spend our evenings generally with Esther on our lap, trying to settle her with a finger or dummy in her mouth whilst playing a game of sequence! Naomi is a really sweet big sister saying 'hello little girl!' all the time. She has been doing her own bit of mothering when she was pretending to breastfeed her dolly and when I overheard her talking to her dolls saying 'you are not listening to me' and 'stop messing around!' She makes us giggle but better watch what we say!
