Mmmm Im dreaming of milk and....milk....ok at my age that's all I dream about!

WHO STOLE MY BINKY???????

Well, welcome to my new life! - it's almost midnight and baby Alex is fast asleep. Now "they" tell you to try and sleep when the baby sleeps but what "they" don't tell you is that when she's awake you get nothing else done....so Mike and I are busy trying to burn pics of the little sleeping angel so we can show her off to the world. Speaking of the angel, otherwise known as "peanut" she is blemish, blotch and wrinkle free - I may be biased in saying this but she was one cute newborn! As you can see on Mike's blog, she is pretty irresistable and I am completely in love. I have replayed the whole labor experience over in my mind a lot over the last sleepless ten days, and as unpleasant as it was (what happened to the promise of drugs, god it was excruciatingly painful!) there is nothing in life that compares to the sight of your newborn entering the world. She is already turning her little head (yep even her head is small and cute) to the sound of my voice and breast feeding like a miniature piranha. I think Mike posted a picture of my first breastfeeding experience so I won't go into any more detail, except to say...OUCH.! I could start typing about the mind blowing thought that Michael and I created this perfect baby but it's late and I still can't grasp that whole concept myself yet let alone try and describe it. The feeding station will be opening soon for Alex so I must sign off because strange things happen to my body whne she cries!......h.x

Perhaps a little too much belly for some of you, but this is me two days after the due date and still smiling...sort of. Being induced now Wed 16th May so hopefully she will Puuush her way out that same day!

OVERDUE!!!!!!

Yep you guessed it - the due date has come and gone and the baby is not ready. She is already taking after Michael and has decided to arrive late.! Only two days late at this point but it seems like an eternity when you try to roll over from one side of the bed to the other and the big 'ol belly doesn't cooperate. So stand by everybody......she'll come eventually! - this is a good lesson in patience for me and also God's way (or the baby's way!) of teaching me that I am no longer in control of my life!....updates soon. h.xx
