My garden!

Its taken a while, but our garden is finally safe for the children to play in! All the junk has been taken away, and dare i say it, it looks rather pleasant!
We just have to plant up the bed now and all will be right with the world!

We are having another blue one!

We had our scan on Wednesday (I know, i know, i'm slow at this) and it showed a healthy, happy baby boy!
We are thrilled, and i am looking forward to being a boy mummy again.
Keira however was more than a little put out.
She has been bugging me for a little sister since she learned to talk, and found out on Wednesday that she was never going to get one. It was a bitersweet moment for her.
She came around quite quickly though. I think she is intending on trying to turn them into her personal bodyguards! Lol
How much she has to learn!

Keiras birthday Weekend.

Well I had to work. But only until 3pm, but she still had to wait until i got home before the fun could begin, because i am a mean mommy like that!

She opened her presents, and we headed to my parents house for a BBQ to make the most of the beautiful weather. Oliver was feeling a little snuffly ( which later turned into hospitalisation, but thats a whole other post!) but he seemed to enjoy the sunshine too.

What Am I Doing? Why Am I here?

Ok, Please be patient and kind to me. I have never even entertained the thought of bloging before, but my life has changed so dramatically over the past three years that i feel the need to document somewhere the monumental changes that are taking place in not only my life, but my psyche.

I'm not a particularly organised person tho, so please dont be surprised if i completely forget about the existance of this page in favour of much more interesting things to do.

What changes? I hear you ask! (or maybe you didnt, but i am going to tell anyway)

Three years ago i met the love of my life. We started dating, and our relationship progressed, as these things do. I already had my beautiful DD from a previous relatioship and she also got along well with my new man

In May 2007 i fell pregnant with our son Oliver, and this is where i started changing. I had been quite materialistic and dare i say it very selfish.
Oliver has brought out in me a desire to live more simply, and some would say more old fashioned than i had been. He brought out in me the desire to be more "green" and natural in my approach to childcare.

I discovered a lovely group of ladies online who have also been an absolute inspiration to me whilst trying to find my feet in a whole new world of parenting.

In August 2008 My love and I got married. I will endeavour to add pics later for those that are interested. It was the most amazing day of my life.

We hired an old Edwardian theatre and were married on the stage in front of all our friends and family. It was magical!

I went back to university to finish my nursing diploma in Sept 2008, which i have found really hard going. I am having real trouble getting back into it. I love the work, but the workload is a lot more difficult to manage with a larger family.

Which brings me to my next point, our family is growing again! Baby #3 is on its way! The new Jellybean is due on the 15th Sept 2009!

There is soo much i want to do for this bubba! Breastfeed, cloth nappy, babywear, baby led weaning, the list goes on!! am so excited to be doing this again!

I hope you enjoy following this blog and peeking into our lives :)
