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
