Yay for the sticky baby, Rory! Hope you have a great weekend up in the mountains I thought I'd missed Ollie's birthday, but no...he's an end of the month kidlet! Can't believe he's gonna be 2 already.
Bath - thank you so much for the card! Oscar opened it and exclaimed "A book for my sister!" - he's being so cute with her.
Mel - you get in your pool today after work?
I had a great day today. We were going to go to Mt Martha and come back in time for the photographer who was doing our family shots pre and post pregnancy, but she emailed to say she'd be earlier (but I didn't get the email and she was on our doorstep before we could leave, luckily!) and we ended up not having to rush back from our aunt visit/beach day (DP's aunt lives down there) and it worked out well. I ended up realising a vision I had for a photo of Tallarah curled up in the seat of a saddle I have at home (keep meaning to clean it up and list it on eBay...so it's just been sitting behind a chair in the loungeroom!), so I can't wait to see the proofs. Susan Darcy is a wonderful photographer and builds a great rapport We'll be back at Mt Martha on the weekend, as it turns out, so maybe I'll get a swim in next time (I was wearing Tallarah and she was fast asleep today).
I just love how well Oscar is getting on with T's arrival. I got out of the shower today and there she was, cradled on his lap on the bed with a very proud big brother smile on his face...a melting moment for sure.
There is no real comparison between the two. It was hard with Osc, not just as a first, but with the feeding and colic issues, as well as Oscar's insistence on being awake for large chunks of the day! T seems to know that life will be there when she's ready and is a very phlegmatic baby.
Hey, now I'm like all of you chicks - I have an eldest child! Life is good (apart from the crappy bits that are not baby-related!!) and I'm enjoying my newest little person, even though I thought I didn't want to 'do' newborn again...ha!
Better get ready for bed (even though DP made me a yummy iced coffee...we'll see how that affects me)...xxx
Oh Maya, that is so sweet. I can imagine Oscar sitting on the bed cuddling her!!! Stop telling stories like that, gets my cluckiness going lol! Photo idea sounds amazing, did you manage to get her curled up on it? Tallarah sounds like a very relaxed, chilled out baby (just like her mumma!!) but it seems indicative of being a second child. They just seem to go with the flow. Didn't have time to swim yesterday as I had to go out, but the kids were in it and not wanting to get out. Even the lure of food wouldn't get them out!!! When you are ready for a trip down, come over and chill out with me and then I can sneak some of those beautiful newborn cuddles. Marley would love to hang out with Oscar.
Rory - well done Rory, I'm sure he/she will keep sticking nice and tight in there. Have fun in Bright.
Pool is certainly getting a workout now the weather is improving but the girls seem to want to use it regardless of the weather - they are like fish!! Yesterday the pool temp got up to 27 and even just dangling my feet in, was beautiful. DH got goggles for Marley as she is always trying to steal Chelsea's. She looks hysterical!! I will try and get a pic and put it on facebook. Trying to get them out is another issue. They get given plenty of warning that it will be time to get out but Marley throws a wobbly when she has to actually get out. I'm sure she will start getting the message soon enough. It so lovely and relaxing just sitting on the deck watching them play. I'm really looking forward to summer now and relaxing at home with them over the holidays.
Enjoy the unofficial long weekend Melbourne girls, and if you like a flutter on Cup Day, hope you have a win!
Amanda's new avvy is up, yet another master piece Bath well done
Maya things are sounding so wonderful at your place about now, congratulations on sticking to your guns and having the babymoon you wanted...
Mel glad you girls are loving the pool, we have the winkies in swimming class, Kai;s first time she is loving it, for someone who didnt like the water is now fast becomming a water baby like the other 2 have always been... she too has googles boy O boy does she look funny...
well lets see, I found out my sister after 2 yrs of TTC and finding out she has a blocked tube and pcos, that she is UTD she is now 6 weeks, keep telling her to join BB, plus she would be in your belly buddy group Rory... so very happy for her...
we have decided not to TTC anymore, so now I just have to tell my heart that there will be no more... I find myself looking down at my belly every now and then and thinking ther will never again be a life growing inside me, its a very sad thought... but something I will have to learn to live with...
which will be hard when my sisters all start to have there children, but something that was always going to happen seeing as I had mine so young and they have all waited until later in life to start their familys, I guess in someways it good that I wont be in the same state, so that I dont have to be reminded all the time...
Hi girls, thought I would have missed some posts but I haven't missed anything lol!!! Where is everyone????
Chelsea and Marley had their baptism last Sunday and it went beautifully (apart from Marley not letting me take any photos and not happy about having her hair wet!!!). The pool was finished in time and was full of kids Sunday afternoon. Most were in there for over 4 hours, barely getting out to eat! Everyone had a wonderful time which was great and the girls got some amazing presents. They both got a pandora bracelet each, which was amazing. They look so cute and now family can buy extra charms for them for christmas. It was a such a warm day, but the food was excellent (thanks for my BF Mal, who used to be a chef!) and everyone commented to him how beautiful it was. Their outfits were perfect and they both looked adorable. I put some pics on facebook but Marley refused to let me take any photos of her, so I have none with her godparents and I didn't really take any at the party.
My other BF Michelle was here from Brisbane with her DD. It was so much fun having her here, apart from Marley and her DD fighting! They screamed at each other like banshees!!! It was hard not to laugh. We went to the aquarium which was fantastic for anyone that hasn't been before. She went home on Saturday afternoon so the house is a little quiet and I always miss her when she has gone.
Back to work on Tuesday but enjoyed the week off. Weather was fantastic and the pool has been getting a workout. The kids are in it nearly everyday and night - the dusk swims are the best. Pool temp has been 30 nearly every day.
I've been meaning to reply to our thread but end up running out of time...if I can get near the computer at all!
Tallarah has been sick (I have a boo hoo in the Plat thread) and that's why I'm up - she's only just nodded off after being up nearly every hour with her snuffliness.
Mel - I wanted to call you this week for a catch up (while she's still technically a newborn, for newborn cuddles!) but we've been so lurgied that I decided against social visits this week for everyone's sake So, I'll sms you soon to organise something! A week with your GF sounds like it's too short! Aquarium is on my list of things to do with Oscar before too long - he enjoyed the zoo last week before his cold got the better of him and he got too tired for any more. The baptism sounds like it was really lovely - will have to trawl FB for pics cos I can't imagine M all dolled up!
T is asleep and wheezing away (like Mr Snuffleupagus), so I better get back to bed for as long as I have left to catch up on sleep...
Maya - sorry to hear Tallarah has been unwell, how is she today. Nothing worse than hearing a newborn sniffle. When she is better, I want those newborn cuddles before she gets too big!!! The zoo is heaps of fun but can be a long day, the aquarium wasn't too big and so nice on a hot day and plenty to see (and up close too). Miss M scrubbed up well - but the smiles didn't last long. How are you and Oscar feeling? I am home on Monday and Wed after 11am. So please pop down for a visit - tell Oscar to bring his togs!
