New year.New Thoughts.New Life.

Well we are in 2012,the year it is all supposed to end or when the calendar for the mayans just ran out lol.
I'm hoping this year is better than 2011,it's certainly our last in this awful house as we are moving out to stay with my nan in April.We could of gone earlier but Paul doesn't get his holidays till then so we can both be off whilst the kids are at the childminders so we can get everything out.I can't wait,we have decided to save for a mortgage instead as it is just better in the long run.
I know it's only the start of the year but I can't believe the girls will be 2 and 4 by the end of it.Madison will be starting school next year and Liv will be 3 and I can go to college yaay.
So the plan for this year is to concentrate on driving lessons as we will be able to afford it now,volunteer for 9-12 months at the hospital,starting this month!.I can't wait to start,I'm hoping it will give me the determination to go for my dream and not put me off as some people have suggested.I'm also hoping the volunteering will lead to another job role as I cannot stand to be here for much longer especially now as they have refused my flexible working hours although some people get their shift changed so easily.
We had a quiet NYE,i fell asleep at 10.30 lol but someone has to get up with the girls and you can bet your dollar on it that it won't be Paul.The girls woke this morning at 5.30 or much earlier as Madison had turned the light on and was running around whilst Liv was happily bouncing away in her cot lol.I define 5.30 as night even the extra 30 minutes so its 6 would be better,i won't get chance for a nap either bleh.I will rectify the spelling errors later.

Weaning

We have begun!
Olivia is now 6 months old-how FAST has that gone? Only seems like yesterday that i was in shock at having delivered her in the living room with no midwife lol
Look how much she has changed-
Birth


six months




I'm glad i waited till 6 months to properly start weaning as she seems so ready for it.
So far we've tried banana,nectarine,rice cakes,broccoli and toast.I must say toast is her favourite at the moment,she had TWO pieces this morning.I sat her in her bebepod and plonked them in front of her,she picked a piece up straight away and started gumming it,a little bit of gagging but nothing major,I read a good tip that says count to ten when they start gagging,Olivia has cleared it herself by number 3.
At the moment she is happily squeaking away and rolling over lol.
Ah weaning is so fun and messy,i love it!!!

Wow babies change so much/Christmas

Ive just been looking back at pictures of Olivia and i cannot believe how much she has changed she was so swollen at birth but i didn't really notice it,now i look at her and i cant believe its the same baby.She even had a bloodshot eye she come out that quick lol

This is Olivia at one day old-
She looks jaundice too!





And now at 15 weeks :)



Madison Magoo has been ill the past two days but she seems back to her normal cheeky self today except for not eating due to her sore throat.

My poorly baby yesterday


I worry so much that she is going to have a fit when she has a temperature especially since the Dr said theres nothing you can do to prevent them! Scariest moment of my life was when she had that fit in Asda,I'll never forget it!

Well all the Christmas presents are wrapped now,i really want to put them under the tree but i know Madison would be straight into them opening them lol oh well only 4 more days yippee!
The turkey is already cooked seeing as my silly Paul defrosted it by accident lol it is very nice though and its one less thing to do on the day!
