Project 365...Day 4, day 5, day 6 and day 7
So I'm a little behind in uploading my 365 pic so here are a few days at once....
Day 4
"Books & Reading"
I love books and I love reading. I have an E-reader but there is nothing like holding a good old fashioned book in your hands. The smell of that freshly inked paper is priceless.
I read anything from memoirs and biographys - fantasy but my fav is paranormal romance *sigh*
Day 5
"My little Sister - Larissa"
Here is my baby sister Larissa conducting a treasure hunt for the kids at our Easter get together.
I love her so much and honestly don't tell her enough. She helps me so much. She can make me laugh for hrs on end and is just amazing. I blessed she is my sister <3
Day 6
"Crafty things"
I love anything crafty and DIY.
My Aunty Wendy made me these brilliant Salt and pepper shakers made from miniture Vino bottles.
Everyone loves them !!
Day 7
"Easter and Chocolate"
I like Easter... I still don't get the assosiation with a bunny and eggs?? But I still like Easter - A time to be thankful and count your blessings....and eat lots of chocolates of course ;)
Today is another day we will remember where we were when we heard the news ...
That Osama Bin Laden was killed.
Thank you to all the soldiers who put their lives on the line so we could be alive to see a day like today when some justice has been served. I don't know how I feel about him being killed yet but am grateful he had been captured at last.
Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth
Proverbs 24:17

Project 365...Day 3
Day 3
"Immunisations and Medical Treatment"
I am so grateful for the medical assistance that is so readily available for free here in Australia.
It's sad that not all countries offer free Medical care and immunisations.
As a mother of 2 i know how important quality medical care is.
I hate when my kids need to have shots it breaks my heart but i know that its good for them.
I know the number of anti-immunisers is rising and I understand the veiw of parents who choose that. I don't agree with it but respect it. On the otherhand I hate when people think you are uneducated because you immunise...I have been told I don't look into it enough =/ I have. Countless hours of research in fact.
I'm immunising mine - to protect not only them, but yours too.
Project 365...Day 2
Day 2
Tea Cosey Beanies
No matter how young or old you are Tea Cosey Beanies are always stylish in the colder months...
These cute cosey's are my darling daughters - a gift from my sisters Aunt-in-law Nichole.
The flower clips on to whichever she is wearing... I need to invest in some more for the rest of my little clan.

All photo's will be taken by me of course....here goes.
Day 1
"My Children"
Do I really need to say more?
My children are my 1st, my last, my everything.
I have been blessed twice with two amazing souls.
There is over 8 years of an age gap between my son and my daughter and it is perfect! B-J is such a big help and adores Paitynn to bits. I love watching them bond.
The Darkest Lie by Gena ShowalterMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
And Gena Showalter does it again!! I love this series and was worried about this book in particular because Gideon confuses me lol.
This Installment of the lords of the underworld series is Gideon (keeper of lies) and Scarlets (keeper of nightmares) story!
Big kudos to Showalter for writing in gideons perspective... must have been frustrating as ever! It was actually easy to follow the whole Gideon speaking in lies...phew.
cant wait to read the next!!
View all my reviews
I *heart* dymocks
And love Dymocks.com.au even more...and finding $150 in Dymocks book vouchers that you got for christmas and totally forgot about - Priceless.
I went a little old school and ordered paper books! I want to give my digital reader a rest because nothing smells as good as freshly inked paper.Well Dunhill colonge and coffee smell good too, but when it comes to reading there is nothing like snuggling up on the couch on a rainy day with a hot chocolate and a good book. Technology just can't replace special moments like that.
My Paity Pie is 1 month old already....
How fast does time zoom by?
My precious precious princess <3
I've been shakin' my maracca's......
With Zumba of course....get your head out of the gutter.
It is so much fun!! I'm hoping with the 30 min sessions I have been doing daily that I can dance my way back to skinnyville...pronto!
A little salsa, a little calipso... throw in some capoeta style jenga and reggaeton and WOW!
One sexy work out!

New artists...
Adele - Someone like you.
I heard this on the radio this morning, her voice is beautiful <3
I heard that you're settled down,
That you found a girl and you're married now,
I heard that your dreams came true,
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you,
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light,
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it,
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over,
Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah,
You know how the time flies,
Only yesterday was the time of our lives,
We were born and raised in a summer haze,
Bound by the surprise of our glory days,
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it,
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over,
Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Nothing compares,
No worries or cares,
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made,
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,

Bye bye fat girl!
Okay so Paitynn is 2 weeks old now, time to get my booty into gear!
I do not know how much weight I did put on, I was too scared to weigh myself whilst expecting. I'm assuming 10-13 kilos or so. I seem to have lost most of it thankfully but still have a long way to happy.
My pre-pregnancy weight was 76 kilos (and that was after packing on a few over winter) So that's my 1st goal.
Then 70
Then 65
Then we will see how I feel.
I'm never good at the whole diet part but I'm determined. I shall walk, run and sweat. This should be fun -not

Welcome to the world princess Paitynn
so in love....it's amazing how Paitynn just fits right in. She is whats been missing this whole time.
It was love at 1st sight all over again
She is such a wonderful baby...sleeps great, only cries when she is in need of something, really settled and placid. I've been blessed again. B-J totally adores her and is a great big brother. He helps me so much with her, im so proud of him. Bangy is over the moon. He adores her and does so much for her he is so involved.
Here's my birth re-cap -
I was overdue and at my last antenatal appt (After having had 2 previous strech and sweeps) they decided to induce me as i was in prelabour for ages and my cervix was soft just wasnt open plus being high risk. so they booked me in to have the prostin gel applied a few dyas later.
On Thursday 10th I dropped B-J at my mums and bangy dropped me off at the hospital on the way to work at 3pm. I was admitted ..The nurses looked at me like I was crazy going in by myself I just assumed the gel didnt work with B-J and the most it would do this time is open my cervix, so why have bangy miss work when i thought nothing productive would happen till the following morning at 7am when they were going to ARM....lol boy was i wrong.
I had a dose of gel at about 5pm and started having tightenings almost straight away (I'd been having them for weeks before then). The doc checked me at 10pm and I was 2cm Dilated but still not completley open. Had the 2nd doseat around 10:30pm by 11pm my contractions were 1 minute apart - 90 seconds long . I was labouring...aloneup and down the corridors of the maternity ward because they wouldnt move me up to the labour and delivery until I was at least 3cms...which also meant bangy couldn't come in as it was hospital policy that until i was in labour and delivery he couldnt or until visiting hrs opened at 9am. That for me was the hardest part - labouring alone with it already being so intense, i really feel robbed of not being able to be with my husband when I was going through that. I went on like that from 11pm until 6am when the nurse (who was lovely i must say - just had to follow hospital policy) said just call bangy she will let him in.He was there with my mum by 6:20, he was waiting for the call to come!
The doctor checked me and kept offereing me pethadine but i refused..not wanting it after having a bad expeirence with B-J. I was 3cm finally and moved upstairs at 7am...my waters were broken and the contractions immedietly became on top of each other one after the other It was awful..like there was no break inbetween, just high peaks and low peaks. Having pitocin as was the plan was not nessesary because my body was contracting by itself and the gel had set me into natural labour. at 10am I was checked and only 4cm...I was really discouraged i'd gone so long, it was so fierce and i was exhausted. I asked for the epi and the anesthioligist came about 10:45am. After almost 12hrs of intense labour i got the epi. He pieced a blood vessle 1st attempt and had to re-do it. it numbed only my right side!! Exactly the same as when I had it with B-J!! (Turns out that is just a default with me lol) it eased a little but it made me feel like my left side was excruitiating! about 2pm they checked me again and I was 6cm...not even 20minutes later I told bangy I had to push he called the midwife who check and said I was at 9cm. I had the urge to push from then on until 4pm, it was awful i was then using the gas to cope with the added pressure! when checked i was still 9cm but she told me to "push a little" while she was checking and as i pushed i went to 10cm so then it was showtime finally (I could have pushed from like 2:30 ugh!!) SHe was born prosterior *Face to the stars* her spine was against mine. at 4:37pm. Weighing 8lb 6oz 54cms long! SHe looked JUST LIKE B-J!!! I got 1st degree tearing but opted to not have stiches. SHe was placed on my chest and took to the breast straight away with no problems! at some point when i was trying not to push my blood pressure dropped to 40/60 which is dangerously low my heart rate dropped and my temp spiked ( apparently i was so close to needing an emergency c-sec) so i had to have antibiotics via a drip for 24hrs then i went home the next day at 5pm =)Paitynn got the clearence to go home before me lol
She was born 11/03/11 ....i went into labour at 11pm on that day there were 11 babies born at the hospital she was the only girl...bangys bday is 11/11. looks like 11 is her lucky #!
WIth B-J i went into labour at 11pm he was born at 4:07pm
with paitynn i went into labour at 11pm she was born at 4:37pm...weird huh? lol
she however was my worse labour.....or maybe thats because her is so fresh lol
being home is great...unfortunatly i didnt continue bfing. my milk didnt come in until day 7 and she was hungry so we started formula on night 5 and have decided to stay on it. I'm okay with that I have a beautiful healthy baby girl im not going to let it upset me.
