Gooood Morning!


So our dear wonderful mini's decided to make morning at 5am. Thanks.a.bunch.

Lilypops has gone back down, and has been out for about an hour now, and me and Maia have managed to watch Wall-E and we're now half way through Shrek. Snuggles on the sofa does make it more bareable lol, and so far the only hard thing has been deciding how much coffee is actually needed and what cup would be best....

Wish me luck for the rest of the day ;)

...we had been parents to Maia Helene for 20 hours at 24mins!

                                       

What a difference a year makes....

                                        

...and two even more so- she finally has some hair lol =D

                                           
 

Now I have to say, as far as birthday weekends go, this one has been pretty good! Two days, three parties? Yes purrrlease!

Two of these parties were in honour of our dear first born, involving copious amounts of baked goods, tea and balloons. Balloons seem to be a fail safe for guaranteed fun in this house lol.

Saturday was the day for all of Maia's friends to come over and Sunday was family plus Lou. It feels like she is, bless her. And the ever fabulous Jonsson-Giles' with gorgeous Charliebear <3 Silly me, still suffering from the fog of childbirth it seems, sent the party invites via sms and to the wrong Tim...the shame!! Stupid. Charlie is very much one of Maia's little pals, but seeing the JG's on sunday was nice because we actually got to catch up, something that would have been hard with all the miniature persons running wild on saturday.

A lack of photographs could also be put down to afore mention fog, but actually, we were having far too much fun =) ..atleast we managed to film Maia blowing out her candles <3

I could never have imagined being where I am today, two years ago. I know , I know, proper cliche eh? but really, having gotten pregnant with Mark, and then engaged and planning our wedding, I felt very much like my life was sorted. I was happy as long as I was with Mark, and all his family being around and being so lovely really made things easy for me not having mum and dad around, or even Alex. Ofcourse I missed them, but I had a whole new part to  *my* family that I felt very much settled and welcomed into.

And then we did what we did, as you all know ;) Upped-sticks and got on a plane for a new adventure! 

                                               

These last two years have been awesome,  happy and sad tears have fallen, scary and exciting things have been done, and (here's another soppy bit, sorry_ as I see Maia grow and develop into her own person, I feel she helps me grow as no one has taught me patience like that madam! haha little shite she is sometimes...I wonder where she gets it from? *shrug*


Little Lady Lily has been more settled over the weekend-she seemed calmed by all the hustle and bustle going on around her strangely enough. She's been so unsettled for weeks now, and our health visitor thinks she may have an intolerance to the milk proteins in the formula. We shall see. Its hard to get on with anything resembling housework when she constantly needs comforting, but we're gettin into the swing of things her being in a sling.
Its quite nice actually, but I do worry about her getting overly attatched and then having the nightmare of a cling-on insecure toddler? ...oh i am good at over exaggerating things in my head lol. I should be making the most of it, whatever comes my way. Lily may very well be our last mini Wilson, and I'll be damned if all I remember when thinking back, is how I wished time away. Yes, I have been guilty of that. Naughty mamma...tut tut.

You know, I started this entry with mind for it to be a light hearted and relatively short entry. Short and sweet and more regualr updates was my train of thought, but here I am again, rabbling on, and I have edited out about 4 paragraphs of twaddle already lol. I think having nosied around some other bloggs and seeing how most seem to be updated daily, and usually a few times a day, had me imagining  that *I* could find the time for that...haha yes perhaps if i was really strict with my time management and only had to worry about what outfit to throw on, and what shoes go best with what. And always withthe shameless self-promotion with fancy photography and photoshopping. Some of these people are mums too, and obvisouly more accomplished than I ;)

I am signing off now I think. My head is a little sleepy, as inbetween the two Maia-orientated parties, we celebrated Johan's birthday too. Complete with babysitters for M&L and a few glasses of wine for me. Yum!

Hope you are all ok and have had fab weekends, any one started christmas shoppin yet??
