Daisy rolled yesterday...9 times! I was very excited as Rob said that she would roll this week. I put her down on the floor for some freakin' "tummy time" (she HATES it) and she was the perfect tummy time role model. Happy as can be, looking around and then she tucked her head down and rolled onto … [Read more...]

Poor Daisy has been sick this last week with her first flu, nasty cough, runny nose and an ear infection to top it all off! She was miserable last week - I couldn't even get a smile out of her which just broke my heart. So we went to the doctor and managed to get some antibiotics for her which … [Read more...]

We had a lovely day in the park down at Woolwich yesterday with Mum and Milton, Sam and Zac and the three of us for a little picnic. It was a perfect autumn day with plenty of sunshine but cool in the shade. Milt fired up the BBQ and we had a lovely lunch. Daisy enjoyed kicking back on the rug and … [Read more...]

Each Wednesday afternoon Daisy and I have been going to mother's group which was set up through the local council when you first get home from the hospital. The first 4 weeks were held at the hospital and then after that it was up to us to decide where to meet. We have been meeting at the pub (there … [Read more...]

This day last year we made Daisy. I can't believe that she has been around in some form for 12 months and then I can also can't believe that it's only been that long as it seems like she has been part of Robbie and I forever.We were in Dubai on the way home from our 3 week overseas trip, tired … [Read more...]

I know that Daisy must get annoyed at me but how can I resist kissing those cheeks, and face, and legs and arms and thighs and bottom.... … [Read more...]

We are finally back from our 2 week holiday up at EIEIO and what fun we had! Daisy had the best time (and so did I) just relaxing in the autumn sunshine and taking it VERY EASY. She was a great traveller up there and back and slept well in her little porta cot. It was funny to have her in my room … [Read more...]

I was in a book shop yesterday buying my next book for book club when I came upon the children's section filled with books ready for mother's day. I picked up one and read it, then sobbed and had to purchase it embarrassingly with tears running down my face. I am not an overly sentimental person but … [Read more...]

Daisy was 11 weeks old yesterday which means that next week we have hit the magical 12 week mark that all the books and everyone tells you about. I'm not sure what will happen - probably nothing but we will be celebrating the fact that we have made it this far and we are all having a good old time … [Read more...]

As it's starting to get a little colder we can dress up our little doll in some warmer clothes. Is there anything sweeter?? I don't think so! … [Read more...]

I swear to you this baby just gets better and better everyday. I am falling head over heels more and more each day I don't know how much more room I have in my heart and then the next day comes along and I get a new sound, a laugh or a smile and I POP all over again.Daisy is 10 weeks old tomorrow … [Read more...]

I have just worked out why I decided to be a mother. Daisy looks at me like I am the best thing the world - the funniest, the prettiest and the most wonderful person she has ever met. This is what I have been waiting for my whole life! She is just so lovely and I can't believe how quickly she is … [Read more...]

Daise and I have had a lovely time over the past few days at Pearl Beach and are very excited this morning as Rob is finally coming up to spend some time with us. Daise has been a dream as always - plenty of sleep and lots of new talking and laughing. I think she is happy to finally have the … [Read more...]

Just had to put these shots in taken over the last couple of days - she seems to have finally woken up from her newbornness and is smiling and laughing at her Mum and Dad which is just delicious! I could eat her up!Last night I put her in a wondersuit for the first time and she slept from 7.30 to … [Read more...]

We went to the doctor for Daisy's 6 week check up and as a proud mother I thought that I would give you an update...She has grown a massive 9 cm since she was born and is now 61cm long and off the chart! I must say I was proud and surprised when I heard this. She is also 4.7kg (a whole 1.1 kg … [Read more...]

With IVantibiotics I am slowly starting to get better which is good. I have tokeep going back to the hospital … [Read more...]

Here are some snaps of the little one... … [Read more...]

Daisy, I can't believe that you are 1 month old tomorrow. 4 weeks, 4 long weeks and also such a short amount of time to have our lives completely turned upside down! Each day you are getting bigger and longer and certainly chubbier - you have little doublke chin that has started to appear and when … [Read more...]

Can you believe that? All is going really well with the Macdonald's. Daisy is growing more and more every day and Rob and I have noticed that she is looking more grown up and alert and not so much like a newborn. The feeding has got much better - we are both learning how to do it better each day and … [Read more...]
