Blogging Distraction #2

Thomas a.k.a. Mr Busy Pants is now 8 months old and i ALL over the place! Proper crawling, cruising the furniture with 6 big boy teeth!

Blogging Distraction #1

Yep, we've done it again... peanut is due September 26 almost exactly 14 months after their brother Thomas.

Mum and dad are thrilled but slightly apprehensive... its going to get busy around here!

I Made This!

Little Thomas is now 10 days old, we are home from the hospital and are trying to figure out just what in the hell we are doing.

Often Rob and i will look at each other and wonder 'why is he STILL crying?'
Fed - Check
nappy changed - Check
burped - Check
cuddled - Check
Rocked - Check

hmmm... what else can there be?

The Nurse at the Early Childhood Center told us that he was over tired... we didn't even consider this as an option and both wondered if he's tired why doesn't he just close his eyes? we aren't demanding attention... in fact we are expending quite a lot of energy TRYING to get him to sleep!

I hope this starts to get easier soon....

he is pretty darn cute tho and when he looks at you with his eyes slightly crossed and with his mean frown, it makes up for all those sleepless nights..

you can play along here at Meet me at Mikes to win her book!

Introducing... Thomas Edgar

Born at 11.54 on 22 July
Weighing 3.705 Kg and 52cm long

Mum is exhausted and bub is constantly hungry but both fine....

Another project fininshed..

Just a little something for the MIL Christine, full of little bits she loves.
I know because she gave the charms to me!
is it poor form to return gift if Ive created something new with the bits?

Words and Pictures - Green

There is nothing more that i wish for this spring, than to be a porch monkey with my family in my uber comfy green deck chair..

and looking at our cool plants... not sure what they are, but they are most certainly cool.

Thanks meet me at mikes for this weeks words and pictures, its reminded me of the simple things.

Too cute

Found my 2 boys having an afternoon snooze in the sun yesterday... very Cute!

36 days to go and counting...

i cant wait, im ready... really. like im about to rip bubba out with my bare hands ready.

English Paper Piecing Ball

At the Brown Owls Meeting I made a ball for bubba... its awesome.
As a finishing touch i added a little bell inside for a bit of extra goodness.

Benbow promtly fell in love with it...


and subsequently tried to eat it..

Glad he likes it.

where did that week go?

I'm the type of person (especially at the moment when its really cold and I'm really pregnant) that doesn't like to leave the house unless absolutely necessary.

what a turn around this week!

Saturday kicked off with my baby shower. we ate and played games, and ate, and chatted and ate some more!

Then came the presents... oh. my. GOD! it was like a baby store miraculously appeared, I am never going to have to go into a baby store ever again, which suits me down to the ground because I do tend to have tiny nervous breakdowns at all the options.. (cant they just have one of everything?) I have the best family and friends in the world! They all put in SO much effort into the day and the generosity was overwhelming.. Thanks Guys, love you heaps!

Tuesday night went out for dinner to Amoroma with the lovely 'Leura Girls' for Casey's Birthday! the food was amazing.. I could have had my chicken pesto pasta for breakfast lunch and dinner for the rest of the month... Tilly was the winner when she ordered the second most expensive dish on the Menu, ate 90% of it and then a tiny cockroach flew in onto her plate and landed her a free meal...lucky cow.

Wednesday Rob and i met up with our friends Kat and Matt for lunch in darling harbour, even though it was piss poor weather wise, was nice to have a little 'outing'

then Thursday met some cracking people at a crafty group in Lane Cove and learnt the art of English Paper piecing! cant wait for the next meeting, but will have to see if bubba holds off that long...

don't know about you but I'm exhausted just reminiscing... really need to keep up to date with this blogging thing, but with baby brain and time flying the way it is, i seem to be loosing some focus....

you old codger!

Woke up to a glorious day, summers last hurrah and Robbie's 28th Birthday!
Not one for an over the top display, we had a lovely relaxing day at home...

Robbie went out in his blue canoe...


I sat in the sun and made some granny squares for my 'bigs and smalls blanket' and sunned the bump...



Benbow had a bone.. in his hilariously awkward way.


went out with the family's for some Thai food and came home to some tea, a sing-song and my handmade fabulous chocolate cake! (hem... from a packet)

what could be finer?
hope you had a great day babe...
