the end

I'm not going to be updating my blog anymore....for the time being! No time with 2 kids and everything I do in up at Bon's or on FB...so updating this is not a priority.

Quick final post:

*Beatrix Molly Gardner was born 15 March 2010 weighing 7 pounds 3 ozs and 48 cm...so she was small in length...but just perfect!

*She is 3 months old now...and an angel. I had to wean her due to reflux and a few other reasons, but now she is a very happy and content baby. With a rollover feed she is sleeping through sometimes. This has just started so hopefully it will become a regular occurrence. Fingers crossed!

*Isobel is nearly 4 and is such a big girl now. She is a great help with B.

*I am happy being at home with the girls...scrapping, playing with them, organising a house etc.
You forget how much CRAP comes with a baby, the house is NEVER tidy! But I am enjoying being at home *for now* and am loving life as a SAHM again.

here's some of my latest scrapping and some photos of the girls...I've been fortunate enough to be picked up for publication for a lot of my work lately...so can't show you many haha.

Final weeks

Isobel's new room

Well I was in panic mode before Xmas but not ABOUT xmas, but about the mess and furniture that was in the playroom which is to become the baby's room and about redecorating Isobel's room. But what a fantastic husband I have...he worked day and night for 6 days straight and now the playroom is ready to put the baby's stuff in and Isobel has a new room!


Just the one LO to share for the last few days...been very tired...and CLEANING...will definitely scrap this weekend!

Off to the beach for the day today, it's going to be 38 here!
