Just a quick one...

I have been trying to update more often, not going that great, but definately better than my once every 6 months I was doing before..... :-)

I have just ordered some xmas pressies online at snapfish.... It was the best deal ever, I got photo books for a few of the family and ended up saving $120 (almost half of what they were worth) .... They look really good, just hope they are as good in real life!! I can't wait to see them..

I got Zayne weighed again yesterday, at 7 weeks he is 7.5kg... He only put on 1/2kg in 2 weeks instead of 1kg in 2 weeks, hopefully he is starting to slow down a bit with his weight gain... Although his little rolls are so cute!!
Below is his 7 week photo... Cute little smiles with a big belly, lol his legs aren't as short as they look in the pic either!

How cute is this... He was having a bath in the laundry tub, just so he could float around a bit... He fills his bath sooo much most of him sits out of the water! He is too long for the tub, but can at least sink down a little..
Trying to get a nice pic of Jed smiling with his big gap, he is now missing 4 top teeth... Tani has sauce on her face from lunch :-)
As you might guess, I didnt get a good pic of the gap, but ah well, after all the great pics I got last time I can't complain.... I like this one anyway, even if it wasnt what I was after.... Cheeky boy!!

I have a few layouts to share as well, but havent taken any pics due to REALLY crappy weather... So stay tuned for them I will upload soon, hopefully tomorrow if the weather clears a bit....

Hope you are all having a good weekend!!

Some new pics...

Life has settled down a "little" here.. Zayne went 2 nights sleeping almost all the way through, I was hoping he would keep it up, but it doesnt look like that will be happening. He has decided he absolutely does NOT want to go to sleep at night, its strange because he struggles to stay awake during the day. I just hope he settles soon because I am supposed to be going back to work next week, just for a few hours here and there but I dont know how I will go if we are still having such messed up sleeping patterns...

I went shopping in wagga on the weekend, Just Mark, Zayne and I went, Jed and Tani had a sleep over at Farm Poppy's and Auni's which they loved, even though Jed got COLD weet-bix for breakfast LOL he was horrified about that.. He has 4 every morning but they have to be warm!!! I FINALLY got myself a new washing machine!! It has been such a long time coming, I just never wanted to spend the cash on one while the other was still working. I can now do so much more washing at a time which is good.. I also got a few more christmas presents. I think I almost done now, I just want to get Tani a cuttlekid :-)

ummm what else??? I took some nice piccies of Karen's family yesterday, you should go on over to her blog and check them out!
I think thats about it, it has been a quite uneventful week!!

I took some pics of the kids in their xmas hats today.. I really like the way they have come out, its hard to choose a favourite I like so many of them!!

and lastly just a LO that I dont really like.... Its the 2nd time I have tried to scrap that pic, which I LOVE but just not liking what I come up with for it... ah well...

Twice in a week!

Twice in a week, can you believe it!!!
We went to the clinic on friday Zayne is now 6.93kg (15lb 5oz)... At 5 weeks!!!! He is over 1.5kg heavier than Jed and Tani were around the same age, but he was only just 230 grams heavier at birth. He is getting so big so fast, its sad coz he is my last baby :-(... The pic above is his 5 week pic which was taken on friday... Love those BIG smiles we are getting... (and the chubby chins that go with them)... :-)

We had a good day out today, we went to Goob with Muli and Lindy had a bbq lunch and they all had a swim in the creek, lol not me though, i'm not crazy!!! Got some good pics i think and Zayne was pretty good most of the time, he got a little fussy around lunchtime but thats pretty much normal now.. So yeah, we all had fun.

How funny is this pic ^^ If you look in the background you can see Tani has jumped just as I took the pic, both her feet are off the ground... I think it looks cool.

There were a heap of other pics too, but didnt want to be too boring..

In other news Craig and Tegan are moving back home... I am soooo excited and can't wait!!! I spent a little while on the phone with Craig tonight, I miss him heaps and am so glad they FINALLY decided to come back!

My little fatty :0)

Time flies past so fast these days, its hard to find the time to blog...
Zayne is growing so big so fast, I havent had him weighed for 2 weeks, but back then he was 12lb 9oz, I am hoping to make it to the clinic on friday.. I was going today but nothing I planned for today got done due to the fact that I slept in :( oops..
He has still not settled in well at all, still feeding every 3 hours which is making life difficult, he has started sleeping a little better during the night, but has now decided that he wont nap during the day... LOL I just cant win..
We ended up having to put him in the cot already because he was almost touching either end of the bassinet, I think he was feeling a little trapped in there coz he filled it so much. I also tried him on a bottle of formula this afternoon because he was feeding constantly from 11.30am till around 3.30pm.. He has been doing it for weeks, and I got a bit over it! I'm hoping he will go a little longer between feeds with the formula, still unsure if I want to actually put him on a bottle full time or not though...

I had some sad news last week, our old neighbour Bart passed away on thursday night, we lived next door to him and Ginny for many years and they were just like family.. His funeral is tomorrow.
Not much else to talk about, as I have not been doing much.. How exciting am I LOL...

Just have a few pics to show.. This one was taken the week before last, Zayne has started smiling a little and I managed to capture this one, it was taken the day after his first smile at 3.5 weeks.. How cute is it, I love it :-)
Little brother and big brother playing together on Zaynes new play mat.. From the looks of him I dont think he is very sure about it... He is 23 days old in this pic.

Can you believe what a difference a month can make? This first pic was taken just after we got home from hospital, He is 22 hours old in this one....

and 32 days in this one... He is so fat now, its sooo cute!!

After his bath this morning. Love them little fat rolls :-)

Just took this one before, have been trying to get him to have a sleep since around 11am, but everytime I put him in his cot he wakes up, so I put him in the pram instead and so far he's been asleep for around an hour, not sure what it is about the cot but he wont sleep in there during the day...

My latest 2 Layouts...

Thats about it I think, so I will probably see you in another month!!! ;0)

It's a BOY

We had our Baby Boy on October 10th at 8:01pm... His name is Zayne Robert, he was 9lb 5oz and 53.5cm long... He is now 10 days old and weighs 10lb 1/2oz... He loves to eat and thinks he should do so the whole time he is awake!!!! He is going maximum 3 hours between feeds during the day, usually the same at night. :-( Hopefully he settles sometime soon...

Anyway, he is hungry again so I will just quickly leave some pics....

This is Zayne 16 hours old..
Proud Big Brother!!

Proud Big Sister

Aunty Sheri..

Our Family.... :-)

The 2nd LO I have done of Baby Zayne

How cute is this little foot!!!

Zayne and his Daddy!!!

My gorgeous Boy :-)

Love him to bits :-)

I'm due today!!!

Yep... Bub is due today, but once again I dont think it will arrive on time. Both Jed and Tani went over so i'm not expecting it to be on time... Although I must say I am finally a bit over it. I havent had any troubles the whole way through but these last few weeks have been a bit much. I have big sinus troubles, i'm having sooo much trouble breathing, even after going on anti-biotics its still there, although it has cleared up a little its still difficult to breathe properly, which means I am not sleeping properly, which is driving me up the wall, I dont think I have ever been so tired!!!

LOL also I want it to come soon so I can go to floriade!!! I wont go while i'm still pregnant - just in case..... But it will be over soon.. I dont think I will get to go again.

I have finally finished work.. I done a wedding bouquet on friday and that will be the last I will work till sometime after bub comes.. It was really taking it out of me being on my feet all the time so even though i'm now broke and bored i'm glad im not working at the moment.. LOL

Last weekend I finally managed to scrap.. I finished off the snow LO that has been sitting at my desk for weeks, and I done the three others...





So when do you think bub will come and what will it be???? I still have no idea what it is and no names that we can agree on LOL.... It is going to be a nameless bub at the rate we are going... :-(

It's been a while!!

Since my last real post it has been months and months!! Lots has been happening, I am currently 37 weeks pregnant, it has been a good pregnancy, no real drama's, I have had really low iron and have to take tablets for it, but thats it. We don't know what we are having so it will be a big surprise on the day.

I have almost completely re- decorated my lounge room with new curtains, tv cabinet and lounge as well as changed to positions of all my pictures... I am waiting on a lamp table I have ordered and I will get a lamp for it as well as a new light for the ceiling and I will be just about done.. Oh besides all the extra's, like paint and cushions etc to add a bit of colour, but I haven't decided which colour to go with yet..

My dad turned 50 last month, on the same day Tani turned 5!! Both of my brothers cme down from queensland for it and it was awesome to see them, I miss them both, and Tegan sooooo much :-( But it's great to see them when I can..

Craig and Tegan are in Canada at the moment having a big holiday, They come back about the time our bub is due, so hopefully they will get to see it before going back to queensland!!!

I was lucky enough to get selected as one of the top 50 in the scrapbooking memories masters comp, there have been some awesome scrappers selected so im not holding much hope of being one of the 10!!

Umm what else? LOL heaps happening but not much to talk about.... Since I can't remember any more i will just finish with some pics.
Me and the kids yesterday..

Tani making bunny ears, LOL not sure what this was about but its a cute pic :-)

Jed and The Belly...

The bare belly, its nice and round but OMG do I have some bad stretch marks!!! Most of them are from Jed I think..

I love my loungeroom now!!!!

The 2 seater part of my new lounge suite..

And thats it!!! Although I' m sure no-one even looks at my blog anymore its been soooooo long since my last post. Leave a comment if you come for a visit :-)
