is it a kind of dream?

Merry Christmas to my f-list.
Been a good, if fraught, day. Took 90 minutes to open the gifts, we had so many. I wrapped rinky dinky shit like socks and gloves individually - if i had realised we'd have 75+ gifts to open from everyone else like friends, aunts and my mom and MIL etc, i'd never have done it! Live and learn.
R did most of the unwrapping because i was holding B and BH was holding the camera... She *loved* it.
Loads of good loot, and even if stressed by a baby who didnt want to sleep (only sleeps in the pushchair, sigh), and who was teething like mad, it was a good day. Looking forward to tomorrow, gonna go hit the local park with BH's new camera tripod and 45L hiking backpack i got him from a charity shop for £5 :)
FIL, still miss you. Wish you were here to see the girls.
Love you all, f-list and LJ. x

Shelf Life is available.

I have an entry in it, as does my friend alawston .

Go forth and buy.

plus 2 Singstar mics
plus Abba Singstar game

equals ME HOARSE AND SORE but fuckinghell what fun!!!!!!! :D

Christmas came early again :) It aint a wii, its our old playstation, but its fun again and the whole family can play! Even B was singing :)

Oh, and my husband sings like a girl :) bwahaha !

Its wild how my control slipped with each song i sang, until i couldnt hold a note to save my life. Fun to see it on the screen :)

Singstar totally need to do a QUEEN one. Yes. Abba is fun, but Queen would be soooooo difficult!

TO STOP GROWING UP right this damn minute...

R is 5 next week. I am not prepared for a proper grown up girl, not yet. (she's got a proper smart mouth, too, lol). I want my baby back.

B can roll over and is trying to crawl. 10 weeks old. Once she gets that other arm out from under her body when she rolls, she'll be off. She's also fiercely biting anything that comes within the viscinity of her mouth...I want my baby back.

Damnit. Kids grow up too damn fast these days...

*proud mom*

Some noteworthy pics taken in the last few days..

So, if you wanna make gallons of breastmilk withOUT fenugreek or domperidone, all you gotta do is drink Oatly (in lieu of eating 5 bowls of oats per day, which is frankly disgusting).

2 mugs of chocolate Oatly before bed (to indulge my sweet tooth and make up for the Horlicks i usually drink but can't, because dairy really upsets B's reflux), and i'm engorged in the morning!  I can pump it off and freeze it for emergencies!

Man it feels NICE to be making enough milk to have to deal with OVERsupply, and not having to chemically induce it (as such)!

Between having enough milk for B all by myself, and having a new (Quinny Buzz) buggy that doesn't aggravate my neck, i feel like a new [happier] woman!

eta: and their non-cream cream is pretty damn tasty too. So much better than soya stuff, and better for ME, too, considering thyroid issues!

eta again: also loving and drinking at least one Supermalt a day can't be harming my supply either. God that stuff tastes good!

SHE SMILED AT ME
and it wasnt wind

Just a snap this morning before showers and brekky etc.


R is 4y 8mo
B is 8 days old.

Aren't they precious?
