Same same but different

"wow he is looking more and more like his brother" Rob and I had a bet this afternoon that Bodhis hair will be the same as Coops - I think not he thinks yes.

Am madly trying to type a particular rambling for today as it seems it has been over a year and a month (father). Seems I must have something... anything? Not sure who even reads this particular blog or even if it is read by anyone. Not that it matters.

For now and a little less than a year cherio

Our first BMW

To all our friends and whanau,

The new Watt family (QLD division) just got our very first BMW. Bodhi Miles Watt made a speedy entrance on March 24th at 2222. - The midwife proceeded to tell me this is her favourite time of night because when she looks at adigital clock it looks like four swans swimming. This appeals to my rose coloured world until I wonder if she was inadvertently calling our babe the ugly duckling....

Following a crazy day day at the Goldy we arrived at the car park scored a rock star park that was very handy indeed later that evening, decided the midwives would just send us home if we popped into the hospital for a visit - besides he wasn't due for another week or so! Island protocol says you call the ambulance when labour begins. A quick discussion about whether we should give it a burl ourselves in the spa on the deck resulted in Mum being called, followed by Adam at the local Ambos.

Nothing like a few hard core contractions to loose that sense of humour. Dr. Frauline Helga, who I am positive is a direct relation to Hitler, proceeded to read me my last rights and query whether I had read the pamphlet on some drug I was denying through the middle of a contraction. Super dad intervened, with words of wisdom and sanity that calmed the situation and it was back to business.

Cooper is a champion and is sleeping better now than before the birth. I can see the two of them ganging up to teach us a few lessons. Its been two weeks - almost and there have been a few biting attempts intercepted by either the mum or dad and slightly more pinching attempts. I am singing the praises of arnica continually. The anxiety levels have been reduced by 78%...

Its nice being back in a world dominated by baby stares, sleep deprivation, breastfeeding, backaches and mummydom.

Rob found this labour much easier than the last and is doing well. He feel she has healed well and although still hs the tummy to loose, feels he is doing well.

All drama aside we are all well and healthy. Bodhi is every bit as beautiful as his brother - another fluke? I guess it is all a bit "same same, but different".

Catch up

OK so the deal is I log on and write to god knows who, the ramblings of a pregnant mind.... Christmas was totally fabulous filled with Grandies and Aunts and Uncles from around the globe. The past few weeks have been totally wonderful. Filled with visits to old friends, weddings, swimming with dolphins (and that was just last weekend).
Life is good, wedding plans are going/coming... everything is being left with a "öh well if it doesn't happen no worries" Relaxed and chilled filled with life and love - not to mention those lovely hormones kicking in.
I am totally amazed that the royal "we" have planned a wedding, have a functionaing and extremely gorgous Cooperman, growing another, and working full time. Call me supermum/wonderwoman of something to the like. I am bloody proud of myself!
And I managed a blog entry!

mummy loved up

I am so full of mummy love hormones I keep making myself cry - at Yoga this morning I was preparing this prose to upload and share with a virtual community of god knows who.
So the yoga class was focused around me (or at least my pregnant state) this morning - seems that when strangers really care and think about us it touches me the most. I guess its the unexpected.
This little fella is so different to Cooper - he is jumping around doing circus tricks and downward dog in an ashtanga fashion. I am really enjoying this stage of this pregnancy. Seems that growing this small person I feel like the luckiest person. My goal atthe moment is to surround myself with beautiful positive people - those that aren't positive I just say that I am only doing positivity at the moment. Its a nice way to live fits well with my rose tinted world.
I had the most fab idea for the wedding today ... but I can't say on the assumption that there will be people reading this that will attend.... still I think it will be fun.
crazy energy spurt so am off for a bike ride. - Jesus another on eto keep me on the go!
Love to all

I am currently looking after boys, ranging in age from -5months to around 30 odd. I am lovin it! Must be the gods way of introducing me to a testosterone fuelled world. Who would have thought there would be self indulgent pleasure in ensuring all have coffee (read: milo for Cooper) and omlette’s for breakfast? Who would have thought there would be joy in making three different types of eggs or even ensuring there is sufficient meat and five serves of veges on the plate each night?
I am the envy of the island – the eligible bachelors come and make stuff in the backyard whilst keeping the ladies of the island happy…. And you should see the new ‘deck’. Anyway that is enough of that.
Pregnancy is going well. Bump is getting larger, balance is getting worse, mood swings are less and happy hormones have kicked in.
Must go and bake... something
