I am so ready for a few weeks of no drama. Its been one thing after another lately. So, just over two weeks ago on friday I woke to an email from Timo telling me my oma (his mum) was not doing well and that the doctors had said it was only a matter of hours.
So here I am trying to work out how to get passports organised, can I fly with two babies... what is involved etc. We decide that really I won't make it intime anyway and it is just too much to fly over with the girls for the funeral.
5 minutes after finishing the phonecall in which we made this decision I get a call from a childcare centre: I have 4 days childcare for both girls starting the end of January. (thats the good news)
The following Sunday Timo calls to let me know Oma has passed away and he will be leaving for Sittard the next day to organise everything and will be uncontactable for a bit. This I understand.
I spend most of the week at home. I had a lovely week with the girls. They have started rolling. Caitlin can roll from back to front via both left and right side, and back to her back via both sides. Emma can go from back to front via both sides, but hasn't quite figured out how to get back onto her back yet. On Thursday day I went to mothersgroup which was very nice. I came home about an hour before the 4pm feed.
Oh, thats something else. The girls feeding patterns have changed quite dramatically from when they were first born (as you'd expect). They now sleep normally from 7:30-ish until 5am - 6:30 am). They have a feed between 6 -7 am, then 9:30-10:00 am, then 1:00 pm, then 4pm then 7:00 - 7:15pm ish after which they go back to bed. They also started solids about 3-4 weeks ago.
Back to the story:
The 4pm feed went ok, until half way through Caitlin started to shake all over. Scary to see. This went on for about 2-3 minutes I think. It seemed like forever and I didn't have a clock to really time it. Called the GP after it happened, and then on their advise called 000. We went to the Mater Childrens emergency by ambulance where she was checked out and she is ok now. We need to have an EEG to determine if she might have child epilepsy and we're waiting to find out when that will be.
