updates.

Well my last post was December 1st and it's now the 26th!.
In between we have had Madisons 3rd birthday,horrible drainage problems and Christmas.

Madison had an amazing 3rd birthday and was well and truly spoilt.She loved her little party,being the centre of attention dressed as a princess complete with princess castle cake!.It was so funny when we started singing happy birthday she ran away and went all grumpy lol until she seen her cake and was beaming with smiles,so glad I got it on film.It was an improvement on last years as Madison actually cried when we sang and brought her cake in,she never has been one for singing.

Liv is doing brilliantly,coming on so much especially with her speech,new words this week were "teddy" and "seetie" for sweetie lol,she also understands commands like "go and lie down whilst I change your bum" or "go and get me the wipes/teddy please".

We have had some disgusting going ons with our drains,in the past 3 weeks it has been blocked twice resulting in raw sewage in the yard!.The system is backfalling which means the water is running back towards the house instead of away.I really have come to hate this house,this on top of the black mould and shoddy workmanship.I just cannot wait to move to my nans,we have decided to save for a mortgage instead of getting a council house as were sick of renting!.We are hopefully moving in March.

Christmas was great with Madison having a real understanding this year.She watched her message from father Christmas online then left him some milk and cookies out.For the reindeers,marshmellows and carrots were left out.6am came and Madison was straight downstairs to see if he had been lol,Liv gave the presents a good opening too.We had a 3 bird roast for dinner this year,it wad so nice and better than dry turkey.It was Livs first Christmas dinner and she thoroughly enjoyed it along with chocolate pudding and ice cream for afters.
I will have to upload some pictures when I come online,the girls look so alike!.

Saving.

This year for Christmas I saved with park.I knew that I couldn't just put the money away as I would easily spend it!.With park it was easy and convenient to put the money away each month in exchange for vouchers.I recieved the vouchers at the beginning of October.I got Madisons and Olivia's Christmas presents and some of Madisons birthday presents! I've just put an order in for next year but included £50 of M & S vouchers for food hehe it is the season to be jolly afterall,I only really need to buy for Paul but I have no idea what to get he is hard to buy for.
Apparently the coca cola Christmas advert was on last night although I didn't see it which means we are definately in the festive season now!.Woo.

X

Tired.

Think i may book myself into the travel lodge for a decent nights sleep lol.
Last night Paul's alarm went off 3 hours early so he thought it was 6am but it was actually 3am-argh!.He went for a shower and woke the girls up,it then took Madison over an hour and half to get back to sleep but she did then sleep till 7 whereas Liv got up at 6 and is still full of beans.I wish i had her energy lol.
Work again today :( at least it is my last day in hehe.
I'm currently waiting for a delivery from approved foods which does food at discount prices either becase they have just past their date or they have them in bulk.Hopefully i will get the one hour delivery slot soon otherwise i'm going to miss it!
We bought quite a bit including 6 packets of pasta!.The girls can't get enough and it's such an easy tea,also 24 galaxy cake bars,i have a sweet tooth or maybe an addition? haha but hey it's Christmas soon,why not put on an extra few pounds.
Speaking of which i am taking Madison to see Father Christmas this month,it will be her first time,i hope she isn't scared.
Right i best be off seeing as i have an umbrella dangling over my head-cheers Madison more bad luck lol.

Photos,Holiday,Growth Spurts

Well our holiday to the humblebee cottage in Yorkshire is booked we have had to change the date which i don't mind.We have the cottage with the hot tub and log fire.How lush.I cannot wait,our first little holiday together.
Imagine that with Champagne and Strawberry's yum yum.

The last time i went away on holiday was to Gran Canaria with a friend when i was 14 weeks pregnant with Madison.Lets just say it wasn't thoroughly enjoyed lol.It is like Blackpool with sun over there! I wouldn't go back even if you paid me lol.

Here are some pictures from Christmas







I cannot believe how BIG Olivia is getting i tried a 6-9 month romper on her yesterday and it fit! She is only 4 months old tomorrow.
Last night she was feeding every two hours which is sooo tiring she normally has at least a 6-8 stretch :( but her little giggles make it all so very worthwhile!

The Start of a new year-2011

Well were in 2011! How FAST did 2010 go?
We had a lovely Christmas except for Madison having a viral infection which included her having her first nosebleed whilst opening her Christmas presents i felt so sorry for her she thought it was "strawberry" lol.I am glad to say she is back to her normal self now though but has unfortunately passed it onto Olivia who is really suffering with her cough,we took her to the walk in centre and they said she has a sore throat but this cough is keeping her up at night,I really hope she is better soon i want my smiley magoo back!
Anyway back to Christmas we had Paul's Mum,Step dad,my Nan and my Dad around which was lovely! Madison loved being the centre of attention haha
As for New Years Eve it was just me and Paul and i fell asleep at 11pm haha god i am such a lightweight nowadays only had two beers.Luckily the neighbours wasn't as loud as we thought they would be.
So glad that year is over the only good day was 05/09/2010 when Olivia was born.
Here's to a better new year and the start of a photo a day.
This is a memorable pic which sums up last year for me.


My beautiful girls.

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!

2010 what a year

I cannot believe how FAST this year has gone!
It's been an eventful one to say the least,the best part obviously being that Olivia has been born.
She is such a beautiful content little baby,i really don't know where time goes! She had her second lot of injections today and oh boy she hated them,Madison never cried,it breaks my heart seeing lil Livi in pain,she has been so grizzly since we got home just wanting cuddles or to sleep :-(
I'm hoping she will be in a better kood tomorrow,it doesn't help that Madison has become super naughty when she doesn't get her own way! The naughty step seems to be working though in calming her down and she also has started saying sorry when she has done something wrong.
I can't stay mad at her for long though as she is too cute lol (biast statement) lol
We have just got Madison a potty too just to get used to the idea,she has been sitting on it saying "wee wees" but not doing anything lol but theres no rush as i know she will do it in her own time.

Only 11 days till Christmas now and i CANNOT wait,this is the most excited i've been in years!
Madison has a greater understanding now and keeps mentioning Father Christmas lol she loves the tree too and keeps saying "twinkle star" because of the lights.
I've wrapped all the presents now except for Madisons play kitchen.Nearly got all the food too as were having family over for dinner this year so it's going to be a busy one!
As for NYE were most likely staying in,i don't even think i will be bothering with a beer,never did i think i would ever in my life say that! I was out every weekend getting drunk a few years back!
Over and out! Lol

more lights

Today has been quite a busy day,i got my blood took by the nurse so i could send it off to the milkbank.
After that we came home played with Madison for a while who loooves the toys her auntie nik gave her which include a digger,racing car and an ambulance-shes such a tomboy lol she refused a doll!
We then went to see the lights being switched on and gosh it was cold.I couldnt feel my toes by the time it was 7pm lol but it made Madison happy so i didnt mind,the smile on her face still melts my heart.
In the car on the way down she kept saying "more lights" ,"father christmas cuggle" and "happy christmas" hehe shes too cute,i felt sorry for her when she let go of a balloon we got her into the air she kept saying "more boon" lol i stupidly let the next one we got her go oops! But she was easily distracted by a snake on a plastic rod that she could wave about lol
Were off to the airport tomorrow with friends to see some aeroplanes as Madison loves them!
So tired but olivia is a fab sleeper she slept 9-5 last night! She usually wakes at 3 but had an expressed bottle of milk as her last feed so dont know if that made a difference we shall see tonight.
Goodnight!
