One of the things you often hear people say is that when your newborn sleeps, you should sleep. Of course, with 2 young boys to look after, this is just not possible and I haven't managed a single nap during the day yet. So I'm basically existing on 3 - 4 hours at night, up for a half hour to feed, then another 3-4 hours..... which isn't quite enough and I'm starting to feel it!
We went out today and I popped into Gymboree where I spent lots of money on baby girl clothes! They are so cute..... it is alot more fun than buying boy clothes that's for sure!
Later, we went to buy the fish to put into Dylans new aquarium. We came away with 9 fish - 5 x tiny blue neon tetra's, 2 x orange tetra's with black spikey tails called 'swordfish tetras' and 2 orange tetra's with black middles known as 'mickey mouse' tetras. We got home and put them into the aquarium and pretty quickly two of the small blue neons died. Dylan was very upset. We named the two swordfish tetra's 'Steve' and the 2 mickey mouse tetra's 'Sally' and the Sally's were looking a bit dodgy for a while there too but they seem OK now. G popped back to the pet shop to ask why the two blue guys died and it seems we were given bad advice by the salesperson as the manager type he spoke to said that you should never put 9 fish in a tank at once, only 2 or 3 until they get acclimatised. The previous salesperson had said it was fine to put 9 in, sigh, but anyway the others seem to be doing alright. For now! Dylan is pretty pleased with his fish anyway :) He was also very amused when one of the Steve's did a poo and the other Steve ate some of it!
