Wow, this last week has been ABSOLUTELY insane! On Friday we went to meet my newest niece who is just so cute. 5 hours labour for my SIL, good on her eh? That was after doing all the food shopping for the Christening. By the time we got home, got Sammy fed and into bed, had dinner we then started cleaning the house as well and went to bed absolutely buggered. Thank goodness we cleaned up as FIL who was supposed to arrive the following day at lunchtime turned at out doorstep at 8am!! So, out the plans of getting stuff done for the Christening that morning. It was nice, we got to meet his new girlfriend and she is lovely. They left around 2:30pm and my MIL arrived right after so we could start getting all the food and cakes cooked for the Christening. Let me tell ya ladies, catering for 35 people is no small feat. At 10pm, we decided to call it a night only to rise again at 6am (mind you I was awake half the night stressin' Lol) and I got into the shower at 9:55, the Christening being at 11 BUT we got it all done. Table decorations & room set up, 60 sandwiches, 2 quiches, 2 banana cakes, cookies, spinach cobbler dip and the Christening cake which was 3 layer white angel cake with Fresh cream and strawberry jam & butter icing. everyone raved about the cake and everything else.
The Christening went soo well, Sammy was an angel and didn't even blink when she got dunked in the water..must have thought it was bath time! lol The priest kept coming around and saying how cute she was..made mummy pretty proud. She looked SOO beautiful in her dress. The lunch went without a hitch and turned into a bit of a party actually! LOL We ended up bringing the radio up and listened to the JJJ 100 greatest of all times. By 9:30 the last guest left and we were well and truly pooped but so happy, both DH and I said it reminded us of our wedding day, it was just such a good party. Yesterday, we both woke up feeling like crap, met up FIL for lunch and by the time last night rolled around, we are both knocked out with the flu & a wicked cough, so boooo to that.
We also found out my new niece is having issues with seizures, as she was about to leave the hospital on Monday, she went into a fit for 10 minutes and they kept her overnight. She is now home but my SIL has to monitor her closely and record everything. Hope its not epilepsy
On a final note, we went to paed yesterday and Sammy got the all clear and is now a healthy little bubba who is right back on track with her weight. She was 6.56kg and 63.5cm long. As for the apple, Dr told me to steer clear of apple until she is 1 yr old. We tried pear this am and so far so good. Enough of a rant, Sammy just woke up, better get going!
Sorry no time for personals just yet but will be back later on
