My tooth just fell out, i mean how does a (just turned) 26 year olds tooth just fall out? . Now this tooth has had a problem for a while, it part crumbled when pregnant with EJ . Fillings and root treatment followed but i really thought it would be fine after that.
Now its been hurting lately and i kept meaning to make a dentist appointment but just never got around to it, this morning is decided to split on me. Okay - it was annoying but not so much when half decided to fall out leaving me with a horrible black tooth underneath (well filling rather than tooth). 10 minutes later that decided to fall out to and im now one tooth down, the gum feels so strange but thankfully doest hurt.
Im just grateful that’s its a back molar and not noticeable unless i smile really wide.

Guess its true that “For every pregnancy you lose a tooth” , i never had problems like these pre-preggers

I have been coming across the posts from Pay Per Post alot lately, i thought it sounded like an amazing way to earn some extra funds . Being in the UK i dismissed the idea and assumed i wouldn’t be accepted. As you can see though i am now a member , if you have never heard of the company please check it out. Earn money WHILE blogging, life really doesn’t get much better than that.

Firstly a *big* thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes, i feel so loved. I had a lovely meal out , even managed to squeeze myself into a pair of size 14 trousers (thats size 12 pants to those outside UK). Its so nice to get some kid free time now and then.

I have been wanting to write about Rebecca for a while now, i feel i can go on about how wonderful Eilidh is and do not give my other baby enough air time. Can i just say how incredibly proud i am that she is my girl? She is funny, clever and just so much fun to be around.
This week i was doing parent duty at her playgroup , and it was wonderful to see how she is settling. At one point i was stopping Eilidh from destroying the place (AGAIN) and turned around to see Rebecca sitting around a table with three other children , they were “playing” with the kitchen set and all passing food around the table and pretending to eat it. I felt my eyes fill with tears just seeing this, some people may wonder “whats the big deal” . Just a few weeks ago she would refuse to go near the other children, she would play by herself in the corner and if someone came near her walk off. Its amazing to me how much growth she has made recently , im so glad we decided to keep her at playgroup and not stop her going.
She is loving so many areas of it and when the teacher mentioned signing Rebecca was the first to go and get ready and started “singing” Wind The Bobbing Up. Again a few weeks back she would be sitting in the corner just watching almost afraid to join in.
I get so excited thinking how she will be a few weeks time.

Can you believe this post has taken me around 48 hours to write? Been so busy the last few days, now Eilidh is napping and Rebecca is running around like crazy eating grapes and playing with her dolly - ohh and a stupid tooth of mine just split - how does a tooth split in two? Got the dentist on Monday now

Today i turn 26 years young.

I have had a lovely day so far, i got lovely cards (which of course Rebecca had to open) from the girls and DH and the biggest box of chocolates ever (seriously , will share a pic later when on my computer) - there guylvan Belgium’s and just so yum (esp the praline shells) . The digital camera i got a few months back was my early “big” birthday gift, we also ordered a new king size bed last week as a sort of birthday gift (our current bed is badly broken, we are sleeping on a slope just now) .

Tonight DH and i are going out with my parents for a lovely meal, how cool will that be? A actual meal without children and adult conversation. Saturday i am going a child free shopping trip to spend some birthday money (plus get to shop for stuff two sizes smaller than 3 months ago) and we are planning a wee birthday drink Saturday night.

Eilidh got me a birthday gift in the shape if her first tooth - I noticed it when she bit my finger this morning while opening the cards . She never fussed, cried or acted any diffrent and slept perfectly well least night
Can i really be so lucky to get another wonderful teether? . Rebecca has had the odd painful teeth but for the most part they just appear out of no where (including her molars, i noticed the other week she has gotten her 2nd year molars in at some point . No idea when that happened) . With Eilidhs flare for drama i was really expecting her to act as if the world was ending ,but so far so good.

I have also been looking at my life alot lately, i have been talking to a couple of old school friends and have really realised how diff rent my life could be. I could have a high paid job, multiple qualifications, live in any country in the world , spend my days and night partying, spend all my time using drugs - lots of bad and good options.
BUT i look at my life and realise i am exactly where i want to be, i don’t think for 26 years old i have done that bad. My life is still ahead of me and im so grateful for that. I wanted to share the top things that make my life so grate.

1 - My wonderful DH, i never really thought i would find someone like him. He is a wonderful guy and an amazing father. I stil get butterfly’s thinking about him and get so excited when i have not seen him for a while. He is really the love of my life

2 - My girls , both wonderful and amazing children. There both healthy and adorable and what more could a mother want?

3 - My parents , im incredible lucky to have both parents still together and living so close. They would both do anything for me and the girls , there so supportive and just amazing people.

4- My sister and niece, they both have there moments but i just adore them both. Even more importantly my girls are crazy about them. Im so lucky to not only have a sister being so much a part of my life but also a best friend.

5- My In Laws, I am also so lucky to have wonderful in laws, Rebecca just adores her Uncle Graeme and they both love there gran. She is always so wonderful to me and the girls and im so grateful not to be stuck with a “monster in law”

6 - My home, our current home may not be the place we want to live forever - its small and with no garden. But its ours, we own it and have put alot of time and effort into doing it up .Im so glad we decided to buy instead of rent, property prices are crazy around here and its already worth around £40,000 more than what we paid 3 years ago.

7 - The future, we have such an exciting one ahead of us. Dh is in his last year of uni and im going to be starting the accounts course. At the moment we just about get buy financially but it will not always be like that. Its wonderful to know there so many opportunities going to come our way.

Unexpected Sleeping

Both my girls tend to sleep during there routine times , i very let them sleep outwith them (i know it sounds so cruel, its not really . Most of the time i know its not worth letting them having a 5 minute nap if its going to lead to them being up all evening) .
What is funny is that in less than 24 hours both girl fell asleep on there own during strange times. Last night it was Eilidh during dinner (poor thing had refused to nap that day) and this morning while i was getting Eilidh down for morning nap Rebecca was sitting in the living room watching a little tv (she normally plays with daddy but he is now back at school) . After Eilidh was down i came through and there was Rebecca sound asleep on the couch.

Playing Doggy

Rebecca loves to pretend she is a doggy and will crawl about on all fours , pick up and object in her mouth and bring it to someone to take off her. Funny thing is the last few days Eilidh is starting to “copy” and will toddle about with some silly object in her mouth looking way to adorable.

Bad Mummy

This morning i really was going for the worst mummy in the world award, Eilidh woke super early at 4.45am and i went to try and get her back to sleep. Of course Rebecca woke to so i took Rebecca and dh Eilidh. Eilidh did go back down after a bit but Rebecca was awake (hence the passing out this morning) . Please tell me other mums out there give there kids chocolate and turn on there tv shows at 5am in the hope they will stay curled up in there arms and let them sleep for a little bit longer?

Sleep, Not Talk

Again on the topic of this morning, why is it Eilidh was in her cot for 9.30am - but at 10.45am she was still awake and talking up a storm. Its 11.12am now and i have not heard anything for a while so assuming she is asleep. She was perfectly happy and playing so i just left her to it.

Now much to show for this week again, guess I’m having a off few weeks with the camera. But i do like these series of shots

Its started of so nice, My sister and niece in a “mother daughter shot”

Then came along Eilidh, who lately has been showing her jealous side and not letting anyone else gets hugs but her.

She even goes as far as trying to push my niece off my sister (Eilidh is 10 months and my niece is 5 in Nov)

It ends nicely though when Rebecca spots whats going on and comes to join in
