2 Days Old..

They're not the best photos as they were taken with my iPhone!! Avah is 2 days old in these photos! We called in to drop off some teeny tiny outfits for Avah, Sam & Tayla couldn't resist having cuddles with Avah & I must admit that I couldn't resist either!! Sam even asked if we could take her home, we're all totally in love with this sweet tiny bundle! Things are going really well, Avah had her hearing test yesterday & passed with flying colours, she is a little jaundiced but Jaimie says she's looking less yellow today! Avah is feeding & sleeping well so Jaimie's able to get some much needed rest! Jaimie is a complete natural when it comes to being a mummy & I'm so proud of her.

Sam & Avah.

Little poppet had a restless first night at home & then proceeded to sleep for most of today, I hope they all have a better night tonight!

Introducing Avah Rose...

She is here!! Avah Rose, born 6.44am, 5/01/10, weighing 7 pounds 10 ounces & 52cms long! I'm so proud of Jaimie, she had been in labour for around 26 hours with little sleep & delivered her beautiful baby girl naturally using only gas to help ease the pain! There were a few times I was close to tears... it's hard watching your baby girl go through labour, knowing exactly what she's going through wishing so much to be able to take her pain away... knowing that you can't! Jaimie & Avah are now home where they can settle in & at least get some sleep! Needless to say I'm absolutely & totally in love with Avah & her name suits her perfectly, she has lots of black hair, she's beautiful & she's perfect! We're feeling very blessed to have 6 beautiful children & now 2 gorgeous grandbabies & they're exactly 9 months apart to the day!!!
I thought it was only fitting that today's photo for the January Photo a Day should be of Avah [& Nana of course :D] To everyone who has kept Jaimie in their thoughts & prayers... Thank you, it means so much!

Day 5..

Still waiting...

We're hoping our Granddaughter will make her entrance in the next 24 hours!! Jaimie's having contractions they just need to become regular & closer together before we head off to the hospital! As her mama, I'm having trouble seeing her in so much pain, I wish I could take the pain from her even if it was just for a little while so she can get some rest, she's exhausted! Please keep Jaimie in your prayers!!

There are a few online groups that participate in a January Photo a Day challenge every year, so this year I thought why not! So here are my photos for the first 4 days of January 2010.

I will keep you posted on any news, hopefully my next post I'll be introducing my Granddaughter to you, so stay tuned :)


It's a hard life... Sam loves relaxing in the pool, can't say I blame him!


Really need to start eating healthy... I have to make some major changes this year!



Sunrise at Hastings Point... I was a little disappointed, but it was still beautiful.



Sam must have 100+ matchbox cars... some of these were passed down from Sam's older brothers.

Happy New Year.

I know I've been missing for awhile & I've missed you all!! I wanted to start the new year off with a quick post to wish you all a Happy New Year, may 2010 be filled with health, happiness & love!

Today (what's left of today!) 01.01.2010 is the due date of our Granddaughter, but she seems quite happy to stay right where she is! We are all very excited especially Jaimie & she's a little scared too! I hope this little bundle makes her appearance soon, Jaimie's a bit uncomfortable & has been having contractions for the last few weeks. I will let you all know when she makes her entrance into the world!

For now here are a few maternity photos.... could she be anymore beautiful... xx
