11 months old

So, the girls are getting close to their first birthday. The last two months have been eventful. For a little while there we were expecing child number 3 (miscarried at 8 wks gestation). Emma ended up in hospital with a bladder infection, Both girls have had gastro and now Caitlin has toncilitis and Emma has a rash which might or might not be contageous. The doctor seems to be more concerned about Caitlin yet everything in me is worried more about Emma. Not sure what to do about that one yet. So - how do we cope? We don't to be honest, you just keep on going. Not very many options really.

Developmentally the girls have grown heaps: They now crawl really well. They stand up and walk holding on to furniture. Emma is able to walk holding one hand for support. It has to be her left hand tho, she can't do it if we hold her right hand. She is also getting better at 'free' standing.

It is nearly 4:30 am and I've been awake for a while. Hopefully I get to upload some photos and videos of the girls before everyone wakes up. Today will be another of those "just keep going" days I'm sure.
