Finding my groove..

Slowly but surely I am finding my groove at being a mother of 3! We have had some definate challenging days, especially of a morning trying to get the other 2 ready for school, and then at dinner time but I really think I'm on my way to getting it all together..(well as much as a mother can LOL)
Not much really happening of late, we went out the other night to a Trivia night and I swear it was the WORST one I have ever been too. The host was an absolute moron but thought he was shit hot!! Ah well, we had fun on our table! And it was all for a good cause so that's whats important. Harrison slept the whole time LOL.
My precious girl was suppose to have her first sleep over at a friends house on Saturday night, and the poor little darlin just couldn't do it, she went there in the afternoon, had dinner with them and then about 9pm just couldn't cope any longer and they rang and asked if we could come get her, she was a little sad and a little nervous about staying away from home. :( So we'll try again another time!
I just watched her perform an item with her class at school assembly today, completely floored me. This is a little girl whose confidence levels were so low last year that when she had to talk in front of her kinder class she put her head down and started to get upset. This same little pixie had an anxiety attack about dancing for viewing day at Ballet. Yet today she stood tall and proud to be up there with her friends performing their item, and to top it off she was in the front row and had an enourmous smile on her face! I am so proud of her!!
Harrison had some photos taken the other from my friend who is trying to learn how to use her new camera and some lenses that she got. I'll share a couple with you!.



Talk to you all soon.

Coffee, Witching Hour and a whole lotta other stuff!

There is so not enough coffee in the world for me right now! Seriously there isnt!
I mean I love my coffee, more so my skinny milk lattes, but normally I have them randomly..hmm well not of late! I cannot get in the car and go do some errards without calling in to Starbucks, McDonalds a cafe anywhere that basically has coffee to go! Maybe I'm trying to catch up for all the coffee I missed while I was pregnant LOL who knows? but it's hella nice to be drinking it again!!!
Witching hour...Oh my..I forgot that most babies have a witching hour..well my darling little honey has his between 10pm and 12am arrrrrrrghhhhhhh... then he sleeps fantastic till about 6 when he wakes for another feed and my day begins. Except for the other day when he woke at 4am then didn't settle till 6.30am and my alarm went off at 6.45am. Yup that was a great day! which brings the cycle back to coffee!! An IV drip of it that day still wouldn't have been enough!
I still can't divulge my secret yet...I'm really hoping it all turns out positive and I can finally share it! Keep the positive thoughts coming!
Another exciting bit though, is my Sis and her family are moving home, they have found a cute little house here and are only about a 10 minute drive from me.
I get to see my gorgeous nephews everyday if I want to!! Yippeeeeeee
2 more weeks and I get my 6 week checkup then its back to the gym baby!! Get rid of this extra weight..Total weight gain during the pregnancy was...wait for it...26 kilos..yep you did read right..a whole friggen 26 kilos..I've lost at 17 of that which is great just need to lose another 999 kilos and it's all be good! hahaha nah just enough for me to be healthy. It's really important that I keep an eye on my weight and eating habits now, as I am more prone to develop diabetes since I had it while I was pregnant. So back to the gym I go~I get to beat the shit out of the boxing bob..yeah I named him..disturbs me that he has no face though! LMAO. I really do enjoy the gym though, it only takes about 20 minutes with the circut that I do so not much out of my day at all.
Well I've waffled on enough!
I'm off to get some sleep!
Smooches~!

Happy Mothers Day!

I had such a nice day today, and I got spoilt rotten!!
The kids made me breakfast in bed and then gave me my presents, a beautiful new dressing gown, the Jamie Oliver cookbook, a set of the antique style kitchen scales in..........PINK!! I absolutely love them! and a butterfly garden stake and a cute pencil box that they picked for me from the Mothers Day stall.
I spent the morning lazing around in bed having lots of cuddles and tickles with the kids which was really nice to do. Things have been crazy around here of late so just to be able to stop and be with the kids was really nice.
Then it was off to Mum's for lunch which was great as my grandmother was there as well, and so were 2 of my aunts and uncles plus my cousins as well. We had such a good day just catching up and the kids loved having a lot of people to play with!
I'll leave you with some photos that hunky hubby took, some of my favorites!
Hope you all had a fantastic Mothers Day!
Smooches!

The Mojo is back!!

not sure for how long though! And I dont think it's fully back yet, but a little is better than nothing!
I made this clock for my mum for Mother's day, I wanted to do something a little different for her this year and remembered seeing one that someone else had done on 2peas, so off I set. Was a lot easier than I anticipated to be honest! Hope she loves it!

On another note..How fricken cute is this top??? not to mention the handsome little prince wearing it!! Saw it, loved it, brought it!!


Will post more soon..
Smooches

God I love this Man..

I love everything about him. He inspires me to be a better person, a better wife and a better mother. I don't ever remember a time when I looked around and he wasn't beside me encouraging me and loving me. He truly is the epitome of what a husband should be. (no he isn't completely perfect and yes he does have his faults!)
How lucky am I?
To be married to my best friend, the one who is my inspiration, my warmth, my heart and my soul.
I hope our kids come to realise what a truly magnificant father they have, he lives and breathes for his family.
Throughout my pregnancy his support never waivered, he cuddled me without me needing to say anything, he rubbed my feet when they were swollen and sat up with me when I couldn't sleep.
I truly have found the one who my soul loves.
On another note..I have a secret!!!! But I can't reveal anything for about 8 weeks, just in case it doesn't eventuate!! Just keep your fingers crossed for us! That's all I can say at the moment. Secret Squirrel business!!!!

Smooches!

My Little Prince..

has finally arrived! Well 3 weeks ago to be exact but this is the first chance I have had to come and update my blog!!.

Harrison Jasper arrived at 8.36pm on Tuesday April 17th weighing in at 8lb 8oz and completely and utterly perfect in every way!

The delivery (c-section) went along fine, until my blood pressure and my heart rate started playing funny buggers so they put some magic medicine in the IV and I picked up straight away, was a little scary for a minute there though!

Harrison had to spend the first night in the special care nursery so they could monitor his oxygen levels and his temperature but at 5.30am the next day my darling hubby wheeled him back in to my room!!!!!

We spent a week in hospital recovering and watching him as his weight dropped quite a lot quite quickly which was worrying so he is now on formula and I'm not feeding at all. :(

Which took me a bit to get my head around, partly because I really enjoy breast feeding but also because I know he is my last baby and I'm not ready to accept that that part of my life is done. Hmm I dunno I'm probably not making sense LOL, but ultimately I had to do what was best for my little man and after long discussions with the Doctor, the paediatrician and my hunky hubby we all came to the conclusion that formula was the best course of action for him.

He truly is the most adorable baby..yes I know I am biased but he completely melts me, his smell, his looks, him.

His life and presence in ours are truly precious.
