Where Have The Last 4 Months Gone?!

I've always found it kind of ironic that when you are pregnant the time just seems to drag on forever. It seems to take way more than three months for that final trimester to pass, perhaps because you are waiting for this momentous occasion to arrive. Everything you do is centered on when this little human will make it's way into the world, and each day stretches on and on.....




And then the baby is born, and she is beautiful and amazing, and totally worth every bit of pain and sickness that your body went through to have her. But the time just flies by!







She's this tiny tiny little thing who has no control over her arms or legs or head, who spends pretty much every day eating, sleeping, pooping, and eating again. (And then passing out from all that yummy milk!)







And you begin to see a little personality emerge. Beady little eyes watch you and seem mesmerized by you.


 







 And you find her making faces at things and that's just so cute.






She still likes to sleep cuddled up, and there's no nicer feeling in the world.







And as she gets bigger you realise you are this little persons' whole entire world, and words cannot describe how much you love this tiny little being.








She watches you more than ever now, turning her head to see you when you come into the room, and trying to see where you are if she hears your voice. And her face just lights up when you get her out of her bed in the mornings. No better way to be greeted, no matter if you're a morning person or not (like me...).





And then all of a sudden she's four months old and she has this absolute personality, and she's so happy, and has a lot more control over her head and arms and legs.....and then you watch her roll almost all the way over on her playmat! And it makes you want to laugh and cry all at the same time. She's my beautiful baby girl and while I don't want her to get bigger, I know she must and it makes me happy to see her doing so well.

(But I still reserve the right to cry every now and then over how big she's getting!)

      Thanks Chelsea! I'm biased, but I think she's pretty adorable too. :)

Summer!

Image
I've been seeing all these photos of snow everywhere courtesy of Facebook and Instagram. Can I say I'm kind of jealous at the moment? I always loved summer, the consistency of long, hot, sunny days just made me happy. But as I get older it starts to wear a bit thin when it's ridiculously hot.  According to the news, our summer hasn't been too hot (although it feels like it has been), and we've had a few milder days and colder nights in the last week or so which was awesome. We have had 15 days over 35 celcius (95F), in January, and I know there were a few in December and November too. But today is another one, and according to forecasts we are set for a record breaking heat wave over the next week. It's supposed to get up to 42c (110F), and not go below 39 celcius (103), for at least the next week possibly longer. I got a text message from the girls' high school earlier today advising about the extreme weather for next week which I've never had bef

Time To Say Goodbye

Hey Folks out there in internet land. This year is heading towards a close and it's got me thinking about what I had hoped to achieve this year and what I haven't gotten done.... In the last few years we've been thrown some pretty major shit and each year end I say "good riddance to this  year and here's to next year being better!" And the next year isn't better so it's getting kind of old.  Since 2012 (so five years), we've dealt with 3 miscarriages, an extremely difficult pregnancy that apparently should have resulted in two babies but didn't, a busted back, an ectopic pregnancy that nearly cost me my life and did cost my fertility. That was followed by pneumonia then a Femoral hernia. In addition to that, we've had to deal with me losing the ability to use my right leg and foot for over a year, more damage to my back, more hospital visits than I can count and stress beyond all belief. There has also been stress from teenage kid

2013, A Look Back

Image
Today is a stay at home do nothing kind of day - I don't even plan on getting out of my pj's. And so as I sit here and reflect on the past year it occurs to me that it has been pretty full on! So I thought I'd do a post on what happened, month by month. So much can change in 12 months, it's interesting to look back and remember things.....I wonder what 2014 will bring? January ...saw as it always does, Miss Emily's birthday and mine as well as a big cross country move! On the way Penelope gave us quite the scare before we knew she was Penelope that is, and proved to us that she really is destined to be a superhero!   My Dad and The Awesome One packing our shipping container for the move Driving across the Nullarbor Plain on the way to Western Australia February came and we found out that our Little Lord Nibbler was actually going to be Little Lady Nibbler! The kids started school for the year, The Awesome One set up my art studio and I star
