Not a great deal happening this month - sorry for the boring update!

The GP is now fairly certain Euan has asthma. We have been at the surgery weekley over the last 4 weeks and I am back there again with him next week once he has finished his course of anti-biotics for a rather nasty chest infection. He now has an inhaler too which seems to be making a little difference, Not long now until his appointment up the hospital. On a positive(ish) note, Euan seems to finally be cutting a tooth - maybe he will beat his sister at doing something!!!

Our washing machine broke down just as I had loads of nappies to wash, so that was pleasent. We had to "borrow" our neighbours and a friend's washing machine over the week to keep on top of all the washing that 6 people create - most washing seems to come from Euan vomitting on himself or me! I also noticed how worn out my nappies are whilst washing them, so have had to order some more! Still cheaper by far than disposibles let me tell you!!!

The three girls are all doing fine as usual! Rhianna is starting to form words like "mummy", "daddy" and "yeah!" Haven't got much else to report, however!

I'm trying to get the photos on this website up-to-date, so watch this space!! I will get it done this month, promise!

Just want to end this months update with a link to a very well-deserving fund raising site. Celyn is a little girl born a few months before the twins - her mum, Shyrley was on an email list that I was on too - we were both there for vbac homebirth support. Celyn has cerabal palsy - she is quadraplegic and requires some special equipment to help her life become more plesant. The waiting times for this equipment is appaling despite the fact she needs this stuff now. This website has been set up to help fund for those items. Visit Celyn's site to see what you can do to help!
