Synchronization of Us

Think its been ages since i just wrote an update post so hear it goes

Rebecca - Its now been over 2 weeks since she last took a breastfeed so i guess i can delcare her weaned . Im still amazed at how easy it all was and it just goes to show that toddlers never do what they think your going to do. Our next challenge is moving her to her own bed, as much as i love co-sleeping with her the new baby is going to need somewhere to sleep and while that may not be in our bed (depends on her/him) im not keep on putting her in with Eilidh. She still loves “school” and im sure would go everyday if we let her, her talking improves everyday but is still behind where it should be . Her next hospital appointment is scheduled for March 31st where she will hopefully talk for the surgeon. She is still my big snuggle bug which i hope never changes , she is constantly trying to kiss and cuddle Eilidh which annoys her sister to no end . She loves to kiss the “baby” to which is sweet, she really is a great big sister.

Eilidh - What am i going to do with this girl? She is an amazingly sweet and bright child but is driving me crazy at the moment, she has no patience for anything and a horrible temper . She destroys and climbs everything is sight and is constantly making those around her turn prematurely Grey. On the other hand though she is a wonderful little girl who loves life to the fullest and can turn everything into a game, she loves to be chased and has developed a love of books the last few days. She can build towers and play with shape sorters although she struggled with the heart so much that a specular tantrum followed. She has the cutest squeaky voice and her fave words just now included “Eilidh, Apple (still) , Dance, Ju-Ju (Juice) and Bath” I think at the moment she is frustrated alot of the time at the stuff she cannot do , she cannot understand why Rebecca can do something she can’t . Ohh her sleeping has finally got better again thanfully although she is now 100% down to one nap a day (which is easier for us all)

Me - Almost 12 weeks now (i think) there was a screw up with appointments that mean i have not gotten a scan or anything yet but should hopefully get one in the next few weeks . Some days im feeling fine and other just rotten, around this time a day (its 10.34am) i always feel sick with hunger but nothing sounds good. Im pure exchasted the last few days and have been in bed before 9 the last few nights - last night slept from 8.30 to 4.40 then from 5 to 7 , and could still nap today. Hopefully the good days will start getting better and the not so good ones will disappear.

DH - Did i mention he passed his January exams with flying colors? I have never met anyone so smart that has so much self doubt. He is just a few months away from his final exams (in May, 5 of them OUCH) and graduation is in July. I will then be married to a full qualified Physicist. He is wanting to get into medical physics so hopefully will get one of the training programs he has applied for, although its another 4 years of “education” its basically a full time job with a decent wage. Im so proud of him

Once again im MIA, this time i have an excuse as i really have plenty of blog posts to write and not to mention email to reply to . Took many cute pictures and videos in the last week but they sit on my camera still.

The reason is Madam Fate, for those who have never heard of her she is not a person but rather the title of the latest Mystery Case File game. If you have never played these games your missing a challenging, frustrating but fun way to pass a couple of hours. Its a traditional “seek and find” game filled with many puzzles and objects that will have you shouting at the computer.

I discovered this game last night as i sat at the computer and have neglected everything else since, till the game is completed i will be unable to do much else . So if im not around much the next few days you know why

(And no im not getting paid for this post)

Well im a day late but was awful busy yesterday.

3 years ago yesterday i became Mrs McIntyre, now at 5 months pregnant (and looking 9) i was hardly the most blushing bride but boy it was a perfect day. You see i was never the girl growing up dreaming of the big wedding, all i ever wanted was to marry the man i loved in front of the most important people in my life .

Our ceremony was small , held in a registry office . Courtney then only a few months past her second birthday ran around our feet, she even held my hands during part of it . Afterwards we all went for a meal and partied the night away at the reception (where much more people were invited to)

Just how cute was my little flower girl?

After a wonderful wedding we spent a few days in Inverness (Home of Loch Ness) , that was a wonderful relaxing few days where we got to see some sights and just spend time alone.

It has been an adventurous 3 years, at the time we were blissfully unaware that the baby we were carrying was nothing but healthy but i could not even begin to imagine that we would be expecting our third child by now. Thankfully the one thing that hasn’t changed is our love for each other (i hope )

Last night we went for a rare date night, i fancied Italian and we choose a place we had never heard of before not far from us Andiamo . It was beautiful and romantic and best of all the food was extremely lovely and definetly reasonably priced. We returned home to find both girls still tucked up in bed not having moved and fell into a lovely sleep myself.

So hear is to another 3 (and many more) years , but please not another 3 babies not sure i could hack it

This is my new fave video and song. You need to check it out HERE

Ok lately Rebecca has been learning how to work the remote control for the TV, the breakfast episode of In The Night Garden finished and somehow in trying to put it back on she put on an episode of Family Guy. She is staring at the TV in complete fascination.

I know its not suitable but am i bad letting her watch for a few minutes to keep her still? Hope she doesn’t take any lessons from Stewie

Last post of the night i promise, just trying to get caught up . I never took belly shots with my other pregnancies
and love the idea of doing them so here goes. This was taken last week so i was 9 weeks .

Isn’t that just horrible? I look at least 20+ weeks there and trust me i have gotten bigger since then. I know you pop earlier the more kids you have but this is just silly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Better start with no im not having twins thank you very much but rather today my mum bought the girls lovely matching Upsy Daisy Pjs and they loved them. They kept pointing at each other going “Daisy Daisy” and were being so lovey towards each other - i think because Upsy Daisy kisses and cuddles others alot.

They are just adorable even if i am biased (and you can tell both of them have colds).

Now for pure entertainment my crazy sister and her friend about to head out to a dance festival.

Those boots are something aren’t they?

I normal blog read in the morning over breakfast and if Rebecca decides to nap then to. Either way im normal tired and wishing lunch time would roll around. Now and then though i come across a blog post that makes me forget all that and has me giggling like a school girl.This post by Veronica had me giggling and blushing in equal amounts. I couldn’t help but link here (with her permission of course) and tell everyone to go and check it out (and maybe take a look around the rest of her blog to, she is a great writer with a way too sweet daughter).

Now to warn you all yes this involved Jellybabies , its also for those over 18 only . I imagine most of us can say what its going to be about (and yes im avoiding any naughty words to not bring the wrong people by the blog) .

Mum , Dad you may not want to look

I can not imagine anyone hating receiving awards, i myself just love it and lately a few have been passed my way. It really helps to brighten a poor pregnant ladies day

First up was this lovely bunch of flowers from Christina .

I’m copying what Colleen says about the award “People who don’t blog don’t really understand the connections that are made through blogging. The feelings of true friendship and bonding that are found through reading, commenting, and e-mailing. Through this online world you learn so much about other people… and by learning about them you seem to make realizations about yourself.”

There is never a more true sentence said, i have only been in the blogging world a year now but have meet some amazing people . In the spirit of friendship i would love to pass some lovely flowers on to a small part of those in blogland that give me a smile every day.

I was also recently passed this award by Kim

This award was started by Bradley at The Egel Nest. Bradley targets new blogs and blogs with little traffic and or comments for this award. I would love to pass this award onto
Shay at One Hot Momma , at its core its a diet/workout blog but its also something more. I just love the way Shay writes a always get excited when she posts.
Also Teresa at Clifton Family Journal , although technically she has
been blogging longer that i have i still adore her blog. She has two amazingly cute kids and handles her eldest daughters health issues in a way that would make anyone admire her.

Last but not least i was i given this lovely award by Cynthia

We are relativity new blogging buddies and my only regret is not discovering her ages ago , She is one of the first blogs i have read that is not all about children the same age as my own and i love getting a look at the different world. Plus the lucky family is going to Disney World next month .
I would love to pass this award ontoChristina, she has passed a few onto me
and im so happy to be able to give her one back.
Christina has been on this journey with me since the beginning being both my first reader and commenter, i honestly beleive everyone should read her blog if just to see the amazing pictures she takes of her cutie pie daughter Nadia.

At last its done, taken me almost an hour and much deliberation - who knew it could be this hard. I subscribe to 105 blogs and
would love to give awards to each and every single one of you, i hated leaving others so if you were not included in the lists please forgive me i love you really

I mean really how many people actually just suffer in the morning? . I actually thought today was going to be a good day as i felt fine this morning,  i took a nap with Rebecca and woke up feeling horrible.

Just now Eilidh is napping and i had promised Rebecca and Courtney we could bake cakes but instead i cannot move of the couch while they eat there way through the fruit bowl (not that i would mind if it was’t eating half an apple then starting a new one) and just plain destroying the place with paper. I have no energy to stop them as after all if there busy with that then i can sit and feel sorry for myself.

Can i please ask 2nd trimester to hurry up
