Seven month hiatus...

IS BROKEN!!!!

Head over and give some ooooohs and aaaaaaahs to the gorgeous little grandson of Hannah and her many hats!
Good grief Hannah! WE MISSED YOU!

Another spin around the sun...

Well, here we are a year later.
Tinkerbell balloon from the boys.
Three new plan toys sets for the doll house.
A reasonable doll from the in-laws.
A beautiful Hannah Andersson dress from my parents.
Cupcakes and spaghetti.
Sparklers and singing...

And now... right now. This moment.
I am sitting here, remembering the last moments before she came, and left.

Right now. She was leaving the house, on a cookie sheet covered with thick terry cloth.
Right now, two years ago... I was too shocked to feel anything.

Right now, today...
I am still a little numb


* new birthday plate, cupcakes in true pre Halloween festive colours.

Well then...

Shall we discuss how completely and totally freaked out I am at the moment?
Totally spooked... and I can't pin it on anything!

Or shall we take a trip down memory lane?
Two years ago right now... six-ish months pregnant with md (but didn't know she was a soon to be monster daughter)... hot. OH MY GOD HOT!!! And wet from the shower spray as I tried to lessen to pain of the contractions... and scared and exhilarated and all those fun things when you realize that your friend is about to have her baby immanently.
Getting a towel to wrap her in after deciding the bathtub probably wasn't going to be where she wanted to have said baby... getting her husband away from the Tour de France and oh so excited... so bloody excited I couldn't even remember her address... doesn't everyone know where she lives? yeesh!
*psssst vbac/hbac mamas rule on the pushing thing... always take them by surprise how we kick ass at pushing those babies out!!!
Back to your lives people. I'm going to actually set the alarm system for in the house. I'm so freaked out right now.

Or not... dog, wandering... alarm going off at six in the morning. NOOOOOOO...... I think not.

Mwaaa haaa haaa!

This year I am not all tied up in some crazy scheme to buy a house!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANDSOME LITTLE MAN!

Happy Birth Day M2!

As always... I remember the events leading to your birth with such amazement.

Thank you!

Thank you midwife B.

Thank you midwife C.

And a huge thank you to doula Shalyn... who played such a huge role in his birth.

Thank you!

*operation tub and surround is going well... tub is in. Surround tomorrow... hopefully all goes well.

Let the festivities begin!!!

This morning started way too early for my liking... but the middle monster thought it was fun!

Granted it is actually dads birthday (and his mothers as well)... we decided to have two friends over to play. So over traipsed four others (elder siblings are in N/K with m1. They all had a great time! I won't post photos of the other kids though.

M2 adored his new balloon for his party.
Will write more tomorrow...
Right now I need to clean up the house some more and get ready for the in-law invasion.
