It's a...

Avert your eyes if you don't want to know what gender the baby is...

It's another Golden girl! James is well and truly outnumbered now! All is well; she is measuring well for her dates, everything is functioning properly and she is very lively. I just love the little smile on her face in the photo above. Now we just need to decide on names. Juliet has suggested we name her Olivia or Juliet, because apparently you can never have too many Juliets. Hmm.

Other than that, life is trudging along as usual. Juliet's been quite sick with fever this week, and Heidi has her billionth cold for the year. Sleep is starting to become rare and precious around this house!

Heidi is talking up a storm with over 200 words at a guess. She is the happiest toddler imaginable, squealing with delight over everything. She loves to dance and sing the Hokey Pokey, and give Juliet lots of cuddles. As "Juliet" is proving a bit tricky to pronounce, she calls her big sister "Lette", so Juliet is slowly adding "Lettie" and "Lette" to her long list of nicknames.

Ill house

Erk, get me out of here. Warning - not a pleasant read.

First off, last Saturday Juliet vomits everywhere and then spends the day either asleep or nearly asleep. On Sunday, Heidi had a step ladder collapse on her, jamming her little finger and necessitating a trip to Emergency (she's fine). Monday I was feeling terribly unwell and went to the doctor - I suspect low iron levels, plus the doctor says I now need an asthma pump as I've been coughing so much that I've been throwing up. And then on Tuesday Heidi managed to spend most of the day vomitting. I ended up taking her to the doctor, who of course said she needed to stay home today. So James spent the day today at home with Heidster, Juliet went to kinder and I went to work. All seemed to be going well, til I picked Juliet up from kinder and she threw up in the car, and again at home. My turn to stay home from work tomorrow. On top of all that, Juliet has an appointment next week with an eye specialist to investigate why she gets conjunctivitis so much (monthly!!!)

Anyone care to swap lives for a few weeks?
