Well after my baby boy turns 5 weeks and my daughter suffered with the MEASLES for a week. Yes she has been immunised but she got a strand of measles that isn't, a fever and rash and gone in 4 days. Lucky for everyone we hadn't gone anywhere for those 4 days and stayed at home. Lucky for Nate he is breastfed and didn't get them either. I had a wonderful friend come and capture my baby boy in some gorgeous photos, Thanks Suzanne ;)) I now have to pick some for her to edit and everyone will finally receive a birth announcement photo. We had our first BBQ get together on May long weekend and it went really well - 10 adults and 6 kids and we fit perfect under the patio area. Nate has grown 3cm in length and 2cm in head circumference but only 500gms in weight. He is definately going to be the BIG little brother LOL!! I have to find time this week to get a photo scrapbooked for Dr Tuicolo for our 6 week check up next week. The three kids are getting their hands moulded next week too. I had a lovely first mothers day of THREE munchkins. They were soooo cute running to me with their smiley faces and HAPPY MUMMY'S DAY!! I scored chocolate, Ronan keating cd, DVD, new nickers (I requested for after pregnancy LOL), and a new bead for my pandora bracelet. We had lunch with Col's Mum and Dad which was lovely and great to spend some time with them and Col's Aunty Lesley. Then home for my Mum and Col to come over for dinner, while colin went to work. I actually got to eat dinner at the dining room table with my children and at the same time as them. Thanks Col for holding my baby boy!!! He loves his cuddles. Nate is a snuggle bunny. Then my wonderful Mummy washed up for me as our kitchen tap needs a plumber to look at it to fix it, and no tap means no dishwasher. So Thanks MUM!! you know how much I love to handwash things (not!).
Nate has also started sleeping for a 5-6 hour stretch at night so I'm feeling rather Human! I'm surprised by how easy the third one fits in. He is awesome and Kade and Nic are awesome with their patience and easy going attitude to Mummy having a baby to look after. My finger has an awesome scar on it now and is almost feeling 100%. I had my friend Karen come to visit yesterday and stayed for dinner then helped me get the kids to bed, washed up after dinner and made me a cup of tea so I could feed Nate. WOW!! I'm sooo lucky to have such lovely friends and family and you all need to know that I feel very appreciative. :))
I have a baby and kids market this weekend at Nudgee College and I'm selling last winters clothes on Ebay, and purchasing kids clothes for winter next year for all three of them. This is my way of helping out with the budget. I recycle the money from the stall and ebay sales to buy the clothes etc for the kids that we need and usually at BARGAIN prices.
So next week is our magic 6 week mark for Nate and I and we are all doing really well. FINALLY!! I'll include some pics of the Easter presents i made teachers - the last chance I've had to do anything arty/crafty.
