MIL update

MIL has had to go back into hospital, her legs just aren't healing properly and kept flaring up. We thought they were gonna operate again but they're trying some treatment instead, so she'll be in there for a while now.

stupid brute's actions still being felt

chocs!!

Thought i'd share a couple of chocie pics :o)

This was an order for my friends mum, she got some before Christmas and wanted more... but also a bigger order..... yayyy!!

Had a play at making the boxes but couldnt find my scallopies.... used plain circle, think i'll add a layered circle of different colour card, around the peep hole next time.



first piccie is off a couple centres and yummy melted choc.....

Where did the end of 2007 go??!!

Whoooaaaa!! only just starting to get back into the swing of things!!

soooooooo busy at the end of the year....

we had a faaby time Chrismas day, and first year of us staying at home. Cooking was fun but scary as Mummy and wayney came over for dinner.
Threw a hissyfit as the boys.. and adj hadnt even tidied up so i cleaned up frontroom while dinner cooked!!
Anyway it all worked out fine and we all had fun Chanta came over too in the evening.

well here's a slide mosaic of a few "just moments" you know, just moments you snap during the day.
** roll your curser over the pics to see more **

Just caching up!! I made loads of cards for Christmas with some yummie magnolia stamps but completely forgot to take photo's of them!! I took pics of the last 6 but not great so will have to take picture in daylight.

shopping and running around to do..... Was in the car with adj and the kiddies today when I had one of Those thoughts.... all the hustle and bustle.... people being soooo bad tempered and rushing around... for the time of year when peace came to all mankind, it was not very peaceful at all out there! I think i'll try and be more peaceful myself as it's soooo easy to get caught up with all of he hype and stress.

MIL is doing well, just got court stuff next..... dont know how that's gonna be. How will i be able to look at the brute without reacting? What will the courtroom be like? what lies will we have to listen to? will his solicitor be very harsh with MIL and elbel?? will there be journo's around??

Advent Swap!!

Here's the last 3 days pressies!!





yummie charms.



Pretty snowflake socks



Cute chipboard flowers!!

a few thank you cards:

magnolia stamps... yumm!!

In the paper!!!

humph!!!!!!!!!! so MIL's local paper has "article" about the heighnus brute..... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr so anoyed, cant type properly grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Why do papers have to be so dofus like??? why cant they think about how people will feel instead of being sensationalt and just so STUPID??!!

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr i soo want to give the editor a call, DH, MIL, ellbell and gramdma has read the rubbish but I will have to read it first for myself so i have something o complan about to the editor i guess.... just know that it'll make me even crosser than i am now after just hearing about the stupidity of the "journalist"

Journalists were at the house the night and days afterwards but no news was reported but i guess they were waiting to hear the plea the brute gave before going with the story. He has another court appearance on friday...... grrrrrrrrrrr


right i'm gonna have to stop typing and thinking now as i'm getting sooooo angry..... bahhhhhhh

Mummy and Bubble.....

Cant stop taking piccies of bubble!! took some of us together... It was hard getting them so that we were both in the piccie properly and not half a head LOLOL, suppose i could of asked someone else to do it!!

Bubblerooooo!!

Baby Power!!

update.

Haven't updated for a while, been feeling so blah i didn't want to write anything done.

MIL had to go into hospital again :o( her legs arent healing properly and new antibiotics needed to be given.

The brute had his plea date and pleaded NOT guilty!!! what a complete and utter worm.... cant even be a man and own up to his actions. wont write too much about it for legal reasons as i know he has internet access or someone he knows is doing stuff for him grrrrrrrrrrr.

My emotions are all over the place still, trying to get past this hill....

Bubbleicious!!!

Here's bubble at 1 week old!!

hmmm whats over there??


Edwin(magnolia) cheeks:

What a night!!

**look away if talk of breast feeding aint your thing!!**


Poor bubble!! he had such a rough night. the formula doesnt agree with him at all!!
he was sick and groaney from 3am and didnt want to lie down. I had to sleep with him upright on my chest, my hips and legs finally said no more. He had another feed at 9.30ish and was sick again... he looked so sad but no fever, also the milk was undigested so....i called GP.... what dya know?? they were closed!!! BAH!!!
phoned m/wife and she basicaly told me br/milk with co-codamol was better for him than formula :o(
Gave him a br/feed at 10.30ish and he slept fine and no sick!! finally got to lie him down. poor love.
sooooooo, no more formula..... dh not to happy as he loved being able to feed him so i will express.
I had to dig out the old pump while formula feeding as it got so painful and i didnt want milk to stop!! i expressed a whole bottle at a time!! never managed that before!! hopefully it will continue like this.




wonder if there's such thing as "gentle" formula?

Thank God for Codeine!!

Been in so much pain last few days been using just paracetamol which really didn't touch the pain. Wonderful midwife came today and told me to ge on to my gp and get stronger meds being asthmatic there's not much I can take she told me i could take codeine.
Didnt get to call gp but called Morrisons pharmacy and they had some co-codymol!! took some at about 9pm and wow!! I feel so much better, not totaly painfree but soooo much better.
Only thing is while taking these i cant breastfeed so bubble gets a bottle and mummy has less pain.

Anniversary!!

yesturday was our anniversary!!

6 years married!! seems like just the other day i was making all the preperations LOL.

we've been together for 11 years and it's so funny how we've grown together.

happy anniv my lovely and silly hubby xxx

bibble, bobble..... BUBBLE!!!!!!

Whooo hoooo!! bubble's here and ....................

He's a BOY!!!!!

LOLOLOL another boy!! no pink shopping for me, and no more oestrogeon in the house..... tetesterone all the way.

Wha a dash to the hospital it was too!!

I went to the toilet at something to 2pm and had these odd pains.... then they became worse. I quickl had a wash and combed my hair... went to my bedroom to get my hair gel but another contraction made me jump onto the bed!! Adj said "That's it... we need to go to the hospital" i went downstairs to get dressed but he pains were coming so close together I had to keep stopping, and jumping backwards onto the computer chair!

finaly got ready and went to the car, put a mat under me just in case and we set off.

On the way a group of people decided to cross the road, in the middle of the street... no crossings and stupid cow got cross because adj kep driving.. poor love had me groaning in his ear and knew baby was on way, so anyway this gallah then throws something on our windscreen..... sooooo no what you need when you're in labour, kiddies in he back asking you if you're sick.....

Adj had called my mum to meet us at the hospital as I knew we didn't have time to get her on the way.

When we arrived at he hosp i felt like it was time to push so I told the receptionist, there was a midwife there and she asked if it was my first baby, when i told her it was my 4th, you ahould have seen her face!! she quickly broke of her convo and told me to come with her, we went through to the labour ward and she asked if a room was available, she was told "NO" "It's a fourth baby" she said... "room 5!!!" came the reply LOLOLOL,

So any way I got into the room and hollered, so the love gave me some gas and air...... for the first time ever, I used it effectively..... now i know they tell you to breathe it in when you feel the contraction coming and then stop when it's over, but I just kept breathing in and out and when i felt odd... i jus kept on..... this helped the pain much more than i ever has.
I had prayed for the last few weeks for a managable and easy labour, I got myself in such a state over it and had disscussion about epidural with anethesist and just didnt know what to do. I didnt really want to have an epidural but i sooo didnt want the pain.
I have to say although I didnt stick to my side of the bargain, God stuck to his and the labour was the best ever!! 15mins after I arrived at the hosp Bubble was born!!!

The only scary bit was the after bit...... I lost 600ml of blood and it wasnt stopping so injection....... drip....... massaging...... stirups.... lights ..... poking........ pulling...... placing stuff places and threats of having to go to theatre... pryayers...... things started to get better.
Adj had to run back home while the drip was running through as i had left a whole load of stuff including my nightshirts, dressing gown, toothbrush and paste, hair stuff and loads more... oh and nappies, we were in such a rush to leave the house.

Felt dizzy in the shower and my mum came in room with me... slightly embarassing but very reasuring having her there..... never to old to have a bit of mothering!!

soooooooooo........ Back home with lovely cute baby!!!
