Advantages: Everything about them is an advantage.

Disadvantages: How they make me laugh when im trying to tell them off!

Hello, i am going to tell you all about my three daughters.

Holly-marie is the eldest, she was born on 23/07/2004 weighing a very healthy 8lb6oz. Right from the start i knew she was a very contented baby, she would only cry if she wanted something.
As soon as she could smile thats all she would do as soon as she saw you. She grew into a very beautiful and intelligent little girl. But life is not so easy for her, when she was 16 months old i noticed that her eyes started to turn inwards and after an appointment with the specialist we were told that she has got a squint (lazy eyes) she had her first pair of glasses at 22months old, and had to wear an eye patch for 4 hours a day-what a battle! As she got older it became more and more apparent that she was actually blind in her "bad eye" and her sight is very poor in the other eye. We still have to put an eye patch on her but now its for 8 hours a day as she doesnt seem to be responding to treatment. It doesnt bother her too much and her new glasses really have made the world of difference. We are hoping that she can have surgery this easter which will straighten her eyes out and hopefully encourage her brain to switch the bad eye back on. Despite all this she is still one of the most beautiful little people i have ever seen. And to speak of intelligence she regularly puts me in my place! She is a wonderful big sister and often tells me what her baby sister needs, and tells me how to do it! She is 4 1/2 now and start school this friday. Think im going to cry.
My second daughter Natasha was born 28/07/2005 weighing a slightly smaller 7lb1oz. she was born very close to holly-marie and they have grown to be best friends. Im a little bit worried about them being split up when hol goes school full time because Natasha doesnt take to change too easily.
She is the complete opposite to holly-marie in every way, right from the very beginning she was very clingy and whingey. Nothing was ever good enough for her. All she wanted was mummy. Natasha was one of those "lazy" babies. She wasnt prepared to do anything for her self and would then complain because she didnt have what she wanted! when i went back to work last year the girls went into a nursery and natasha changed almost over night and i think the space away from me did her the world of good. she is such a little character and regularly performs for people, but she is also very cheeky and mischevious. There is a little devil in her! her sayings of the month are "i cross you now" and "i not your best friend any more" oh the laughs she gives me!
She still whines a few times a day but not reacting to anything she does soon stops it. her speech isnt quite upto scratch yet but nothing to be concerned about.
My littlest lady is sienna jade born 06/10/08. She is the baby i didnt think id have. After trouble free pregnancies with the eldest two (aside from morning sickness) she really played a lot of games and regularly had us worried. At 6 weeks pregnant i had to leave work and go to the hospital, as i started bleeding. i was scanned, which showed loads of blood sacs around the baby signed off work for a week, put on bed rest and told to go back the following week for another scan, all was fine. The clots had dispersed. At 16 weeks i had really bad cramps, went to hospital told to rest. At 20weeks i had to go back to the hospital, more cramps, these were contractions, given steroid injections, told to rest. At 32 weeks having more contractions told to rest. (can you see a pattern emerging lol) The same happened at 35 and 37 weeks, and after all that she was 2 weeks late and labour came on really quickly and i had her 3 hours after labour started. oh drove me to the hospital, arrived at 10.55 had her at 10.57 weighing 8lb8oz. Now she is 3 months old and a little beauty, she is a perfect mixture of both hol and nat at that age. And im hoping that she is going to be contented like hol as she is already really smiley at everyone and everything (caught her talking to the wall the other day lol) and she only cries if she wants something. Sorry i wrote so much, but i could talk for hours about my babies. They are my world.

You think people are excagerating when they say "make the most of it, they grow so quickly" How true is that statement?!

Summary: Sometimes cant live with them, but could never live with out them
