I used to think I'd want a big family but now all I can see is 4 of us. It just seems right!

I gather neither of you two are going back for more then?

Finally going back to work 3 days a week as of Monday which will hopefully help speed things up a bit as I am very bored at home and my tiredness has turned into laziness which I don't think I can fully blame on the pregnancy lol. Off to Germany in 4 weeks again which will be nice too 

Makes it a bit tricky when driving somewhere, especially on the motorway 

But I assume she will learn to hold on a little longer? I am yet to 'test' how long she can hold on ...

step by step instructions please

Feeling very tired at the moment but not sure if it's the heat or the little human being growing in me that makes me so tired 

 

I havent done Millas 2 yearold plunket check. Was looking at my old plunket book - SO MUCH MORE THOROUGH than Milla's !

 

Midwife appointment tomorrow YAY will get to hear baby's heart!

 

Not much hope this time around anyway as husband was away when I think I ovulated. Wait and see I guess. 

Getting xmas presents sorted and not really sticking to my plan of only getting a couple of things! Oh well 

No work tomorrow so am going to pull out some decorations! I don;t think E has any idea who Santa is so I have no idea how she will react when she sees one.

Oh I remember how hot I was when feeding. I think I lived topless for weeks cause there was just no point putting one lol

All good here. E has a suspected case of Rubella so no daycare tomorrow. She's been a nightmare over the weekend and earlier this week but we've had perfect days for the past two days so all good. Her stupid molar is still sitting just below the skin so that isn't helping either. Nappies are FOUL. Once that one is here there are still 3 more to go. 

The questions have started here. "What's this?" for anything she hasn't seen or doesn't know what it is and "Who was that?" for anybody that calls or any stranger I speak to when out and about. Funny the first few times but it's loosing the cuteness factor pretty damn fast!

 

Perfect then, positives to winter baby :D

 

Been to the zoo this morning, I AM ZONKED!  Evidently so was Milla she is asleep already (going to be a looooooooooong afternoon)

Milla loves her radio flyer, she can get on and off by herself but cant quite reach the pedals - oh well shes sure to grow soon anyway!

She got so many fantastic presents for her birthday in particular from friends which has given me lots of ideas for future presents!

The trend was ELC toys they certainly have some good things there.

 I am really enjoying this age with Milla, she seems to entertain herself so well these days, uses words to communicate well and these put together just makes llife a wee bit easier!

 

Feels quite odd knowing im having a winter baby - I guess i can just stay indoors a lot but I did really like being out and about in the sun when Milla was only a few weeks old!

Brentons predicted a boy for this bub, he was right from the beginning last time, I kept chopping and changing.  It would be much easier if we have a boy because we wont have any name arguments haha.

 

 

 

 

 

My next project is finding a beach house to rent on the cheap for a weekend in late feb - dad just got made redundent and each year they take us on holiday for a couple of weeks - they can't do it this year because money is going to be tight so my brother and I have decided to at least hire a place for a weekend for us all (6 plus Milla).  Does anyone know of anyone who has a place driveable from Auckland?  We are trying to do something nice but then we are both tight on money ourselves! Hopefully we find something!

 

Lorna it will get better - but I can imagine how testing it is at the moment. Keep your chin up :D

 

Made up the radio flyer trike, it is so fricken cool!

Thanks, I was super happy with how it all turned out. The icing was just a cream cheese icing. Had way too much icing sugar in it though (for my liking anyway)
