Terrible two's

I have had 6 children, 5 deliveries as I have twins, and the first 5 went well. Giving birth is not easy but I coped. Number 6 came along and it was awful, I screamed, shouted, cried, panicked and scared my eldest daughter who was my birth partner. Afterwards I said if it had been the first I wouldn't have had any more. The birth was difficult, she nearly didn't make it and was ill for a while after delivery, but all turned out well after about a week. Or so I thought.

Here she is today fast asleep on the door mat.

Terrible two's never existed before in my house, it was a made up concept for people who couldn't cope!. I take it all back. She is a nightmare!. She never sleeps through the night, breastfeeds every two hours - still, screams, shouts and causes trouble wherever she goes. She fell asleep today after shouting 'No' for about half an hour because I took her out of the car.

But I wouldn't be without her, she makes us all laugh and is so cuddly and cute, helping me around the house - when it suits her!

Easter Crafts

This week, before Twin 1 was confined to the house, the Twins and I went on a book binding course. Held at  The Harley Gallery at Welbeck, we spent a lovely day sticking, cutting folding and laughing. We learnt how to create two different types of book, in simple terms that the Twins could understand. Here are the results.
