I don't know if it's because there is someone SO much smaller than Daisy now that she seems so very BIG. She has grown up in the last 2 weeks - physically she has gone through a huge growth spurt where shoes & clothes no longer fit, and she seems so very heavy to lift now. She has decided that she … [Read more...]

The week (this very looooong week so far) has been filled with lots of firsts. First day at home by myself with both ladies. First drive in the car with both ladies. First days back at daycare for Daisy while Harper and I are at home. First baths for both kids one after the other. By myself. All … [Read more...]

So here we are at day 7 now, catching our breath and trying to get into some kind of rhythm of this new life. I can't tell you just how different it feels this time around. It's SO good not to be completely intimidated by someone so much smaller than me, while I still don't really know what I am … [Read more...]

We arrived home safe and sound this afternoon and thought the least I could do was get some snaps up of the little peach (her breath honestly smells like peach. It does).Once we catch our breath more details will follow. Oh, they will follow. In the meantime I hope this will quench your thirst. … [Read more...]

Time certainly has been a little warped for me at the moment.I can't believe that I finished up work over a month ago now (great that I am taking 6 months off and have already used up 1 - but that's another story). The days are both fast but weeks are so, so slow. The nights uncomfortable and long, … [Read more...]

So to speak. I am mostly sitting, trying to avoid the inevitable swelling of the feet that has occurred at this late stage. I cannot lie down much as it is SO uncomfortable (which makes sleeping hard even though that is exactly what I need). I am trying not to focus on anything much, just go with … [Read more...]

I can entirely NOT do this anymore.I am cranky. Uncomfortable. Teary. Frustrated. Did I mention uncomfortable? Tired. Angry and generally pissed off. Oh and teary. Actually it could be classified as crying. Teary is perhaps an understatement. Sometimes sobbing. This CANNOT go on. I am borderline … [Read more...]

When I think back to just a few weeks ago and the pace and craziness of our lives, it's hard to believe that we are the same family now. Life has been slower. So much slower. And quiet. And less stressful. And lovely. I have SO enjoyed these past 3 weeks since I have finished work it has been bliss. … [Read more...]

Today I had to go and pick up a few more nursing/maternity bras. And I got some really nice ones. And was professionally fitted. And that's all GREAT!Except.I am a 14E (36E). As in E for elephant. Told you so.Not much else to say really is there. Imagine when the milk comes in. I will be a 24K or … [Read more...]

Yesterday I should have been resting, putting my feet up while I had the chance without a 2 year old to chase after, but yet I found myself in some sort of nesting frenzy. FRENZY I tell you!I organised the babies room, made up the cot, washed every piece of newborn unisex clothing I could find from … [Read more...]

Friday afternoon saw the start of a long weekend which was made even better by Rob finishing work at lunchtime. We decided to make use of the extra time we had together and made a last minute decision to head out for an overnight stay beach side. Why not?! We snagged a last minute room at a fairly … [Read more...]

It was grand final weekend here and while I am not an NRL fan (AT ALL) I am always one to jump on a band wagon and one that takes me back to my childhood in the north western suburbs of Sydney and the footy team we followed as kids. My nephew also turned 7 (!?) and had a Parra Eels themed b'day … [Read more...]

(That is to be said just in the fashion of the soup nazi from Seinfeld)Today is my last day of work for 6? 7 months? Maybe more...maybe less...who knows! No more having to you know, shower and blow dry hair and wear shoes with heels and clothes that look half way decent. The getting up early thing? … [Read more...]

Sailors warning? Shepherds warning? I never know which one to use. But this morning when I woke up there was the strangest thick, red sky blanketing our city. Photos taken from smh.com.auIt was quite the sight to see. Daise was in our bed this morn as she woke at 4.30am ready to start the day (when … [Read more...]

I love me some pie. Any kind really. In FACT as a young child I would be SO excited if Mum pulled out a Nanna's apricot pie for dessert because it would mean that I could have some cold leftovers the next day. Cold apricot pie. Honestly, nothing better. Actually, I think I have to get some apricot … [Read more...]

Am so proud and happy to report that Rob's shoot wrapped on Friday afternoon. Woop! Woop! What a mammoth effort he and the crew put in and I am sure that the end product will be nothing short of fabulous. We had a sneak preview of some of the scenes that the ABC threw together for the wrap party and … [Read more...]

Did you hear that? At about 7.20am this morning? The cheers of elation from me as I did the LAST early morning drop off to Daisy at daycare this morning. That's right. After 8 (!) loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong weeks this morning marked our last 7am drop off for the little petal. No more … [Read more...]

Beth Macdonald had a great fall.It was coming really. You would have to be an idiot to not see it coming. I thought that I could hold it together, but by Saturday morning, it was clear that I could not, Saturday afternoon as I was literally on the floor sobbing, it was even clearer that I could not. … [Read more...]

Just when you thought one (practically) single, pregnant, working mother could not do any more...it appears that she can. I can grow babies. And big babies. And perhaps even grow them quicker than most people can grow babies. I know. JUST the skill I needed to work on!Yesterday I had by fortnightly … [Read more...]

I am not an overly girly kind of girl. Never really have been. But me thinks that in Daisy, we have our very own little lady. THE little miss. She loves pink. In fact, right now her favourite line is "Pinks my fav'rite culla!"Friday we ventured into the city to pick up a few bits and pieces and we … [Read more...]
