Doom's Day

Yep that's what I'm calling today. My hired help (Hank & Vicki) have left us and Dave has finally gone back to work. So after 7 weeks of always having somebody home with us it's now just me and not one but TWO kids. Aaaarrrrggghhhh! What a scary thought.
Sure enough the day started pretty badly. Megan actually had an OK night until she woke at 2am for a feed, then again at 4am and then again at 6am. She then proceeded to scream for the next 4 hours - everytime I got her to sleep she would wake up when I put her into her cot. It seems that she is a colicky baby having random bouts of screaming for hours on end. Fingers crossed we sort out the problem in the near future...
Aiden is doing surprisingly well considering his beloved Opa left him and now Daddy has disappeared too. The poor boy is spending a lot of time in front of the television while I get through this adjustment period of having two kids demanding pretty much all my time and attention. Hopefully tomorrow we will catch up with some other kids from our Mum's group and he can have some quality 'play time'.
I have included some photos below - it is hard getting interesting pics as babies tend to just lie there not doing much and Aiden won't sit still for long enough to get a photo...

I like these two photos of Megan because for once she is looking relaxed and hasn't got her face all screwed up.

Aiden is still playing the role of loving brother. When he gets out of bed his first question is usually about Megan. Aren't my two kids pretty cute?
Luckily we managed to get Aiden to sit still for the photo above before he reverted back to a boisterous 2 year old - we have a lot of pics like this where he is just a blur moving out of the shot.
