Well the boys are growing so fast and I just can't believe they are 3 months old already, I really don't know where the time is going. I just love being with them and going out with them. Its amazing how many people keep stopping us even now and asking me lots of questions about the boys. The funniest that people ask me is if they are twins, I really want to say `no they are 9 months apart'.

Katie has had a cough and cold recently and unfortunately she has passed it on to the boys, which is a real shame because the boys were starting to sleep through the night and now they are full of cold and keeping us and each other awake. We seem to get over one hurdle and then hit another. After a couple of weeks with the cold and keeping us awake half the night, I decided to take them to the doctors. I was especially worried about Luke because of his forthcoming MRI scan, I don't want it to set us back.

The doctor was happy with Luke and said that it wasn't on his chest and that it will go. Jamie was having a problem with his breathing so the doctor gave us an inhaler for him and also saline solution to help clear the mucus in his nose.

The signing class is going really well and Im sure Jamie understands the milk sign when I sign to him as he gets really excited. The boys are really smiling and starting to chuckle and its just so great.

They really like the baby gym class to and its great because its helping them to strengthen their bodies, which is especially good for Luke.

We're a bit worried about Luke as he tends to sleep on one side and the left side of his head is quite flat and he doesn't tend to look to his left hand side and if we try to move his head to that side he cries. I spoke to my Health Visitor and she doesn't seem too concerned, she says that I am doing all of the right things to encouraging him to move it to his left side. She told me to monitor the situation.

We're not getting much sleep at night because the boys are constantly coughing at night and they are so tired. I took them back to the doctors again as I wasn't happy with it, again there is nothing on the boys chest and the doctor said that they will get over it and hoped that we didn't have similar problems to what we had with Katie. He suggested I go back if I wasn't happy or if the cold didn't clear up.

I started using Baby Snuffles to try and help them clear their nose and to help them breathe and Ive also started giving them medised at night, because it has a decongestant in it. To be honest its helped a little but the boys are still suffering at night, and so am I. Paul and I are so tired that we keep snapping at one another too, and no matter how much you try not to, you just can't help it.

My mum has been a real help, she calls every Wednesday to help me and whilst she is here, helps me with my washing and ironing, which is great because I really hate ironing, so it gives me some time to do other jobs around the house. My mum has told me to get my head down, but I can't when I know there is work to be done in the house.

We're looking to have the boys christened and I have rang the church in our parish which has told me that I need to go to church for 6 months before they will look at christening the boys. I had this problem when we had Katie christened and I don't feel I should be forced to go to church. I have my own beliefs and don't feel that the church should make you attend. We have decided to get the boys christened at the church where Katie was christened, so I will let you know the date and show you the pictures eh.

We're into the last week of February and the boys have still got the coughs and colds and its 4 weeks now, so I went back to the doctors and they still say that the boys are not showing any signs of it being on their chest and that they will get over it. I told the doctor how tired I was because I was getting up with them in the night and spending a lot of time with them throughout the night because they were coughing. I feel sorry for Paul too as its disturbing him and he has to get up for work. Thankfully though its not disturbing Katie which is good, but she too is also still coughing.

Its amazing how well you can cope with things when you have had a good nights sleep, and how forgetful and stressed you are when you don't have a good nights sleep.

Well we go for Luke's scan tomorrow and I am really not looking forward to it. He can't have anything to eat for at least 8 hours prior to 8am tomorrow morning so Paul is going to get up at 1:30 to give Luke his last feed. I hope it goes well for him and for us.
