{GRATEFUL} for sleeping babies

Today I am grateful for sleeping babies. In fact, not just today but for the past 5 years! Yes, I have been blessed with 3 happy sleeping babies, much to the disgust of some mothers - my apologies. I don't know what the secret is. They all have their own sleeping styles, upside down, back-to-front, inside out - anywhere on or in the bed they like to snuggle with their favourite blankets or toys. For me it has meant being able to work from home with my 3 little helpers with me each day and for that I am truly grateful being here to share each and every day with them as they grow.

Blogtoberfest Day #21 ~ Where have I been?

Giving this little bloke lots of cuddles.

It seems he has developed a serious case of seperation anxiety and can't go a minute without mummy out of his sight, hmmm. Not much sewing had been happening, a few late nights and early mornings are beginning to happen now and I am slightly stressing about not being ready for Mathilda's Markets at the end of this month in Adelaide.

I am sure I have plenty of stock, I would just prefer to have too much stock than not quite enough ; ) I still have 3 quilt tops to put together, quilt and bind that I would love to get finished for the market, not to mentioned the 30 or so dresses in various stages; cut out, need overlocking, just need hemming, just need labels & elastic threaded that are patiently waiting to be finished.

Oh well, lets see how today goes . . .

Blogtoberfest Day #1 ~ Distraction

I was busy sewing away at my machine while 3 little ones slept, only to be interupted by the littlest man who didn't seem to get mummy's memo about needing to finish off some sewing for tomorrow's market. He seems to have turned into a bit of a cap-napper during the day, but its pretty hard to be mad at this face. Luckily he is happy enough in his rocker while I continue to sew, but he is quite distracting with his cheeky big smiles!

My Creative Space

Bookwork is happening in my creative space today. Nothing exciting, but a job that must be done! And Master T is helping me out by 'sending emails' via the eggcarton laptop - complete with mouse of course!And this little man is keeping us all distracted with his smiles and laughs.

Almost 3 months old, where has that time gone!?

5 Weeks

5 Weeks old already, the weeks are passing too quickly and the newest member of the family is settling in very well.

He is a good feeder, sleeps well, loves a cuddle and is already as big as Master T was at 9 Weeks.

1 Week

Thankyou everyone for your wonderful kind and gorgeous comments about the arrival of little Nate. One week old today and the little man is thriving. A fantastic feeder and sleeper, he is content and happy and an absolute joy.

Big brother Tom and big sister Matilda are loving the cuddles and kisses with their new little brother.

On the crafty front, a little cutting out has been done, and I hope to be back to sewing today : )

Baby News : )

On Wednesday 7th April we welcomed into the world a beautiful baby boy - Nate.

The biggest of the 3 at birth even though he was 8 days early, weighing in at 3830 grams or 8lb 7oz. A whole kilogram heavier than Master T who was born on his due date!

Proud big brother Tom & big sister Matilda are in aww of this little person that has come to live at our house, showering him with lots of kisses and cuddles.

Blogtoberfest Day #7 ~ Jellybean

Nothing crafty - I had a scan of jellybean today.

Everything going well, spot on with my dates, so all good.

Master T came along and was amazed by the images on the screen and the freezing cold goo my Ob put on my belly at the beginning, lol. He kept patting my arm saying its ok mummy, be brave - oh bless his heart, he is such a sensitive loving little man :wub:
