YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two weeks ago I wouldn't have dreamt this would happen....

Now we weren't actually looking, but I like to check out the local paper, so a week ago I spotted a house in the there that looked nice. It was close to rail & school. Two major things we have been looking for in a house. We decided to have a look at it to see what it was like. We liked it. Tonight after some serious negotiations we put a contract on it.

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!

This is very exciting, but VERY scary at the same time.....
Now we have to sell this place as quickly as possible *gulp*....

I will be very busy from now until..... well, til the house is clean enough to take photos of I guess.

See y'all soon... (and if you want to buy our house let me know) :D

The battle has been solved... sort of.

So I have given it a good go.

I breastfed Connor for 4 weeks.
I fed Ella for 8 weeks.
I fed Libby for almost 5 weeks.

I wish it could be a beautiful experience for us, but in reality all it does is make me feel cross at my poor little baby. I don't want to feel cross with her at all, she is too little for that. I just want to enjoy her. After all she is my last baby and I have the right to ENJOY her, not put up with her.

So yesterday I went and spent a small fortune on bottles, formula, and sterlising stuff.

And so the weaning begins. My boobs are screaming now... bring on next feed time! lol
I think I am happy with my decision... :)

Gooey Goodness....

Some fun in the bath tonight...

Lots & lots of giggles.......

The Handmade Expo...

There is a new market in town called The Handmade Expo. I have been wanting to go for AGES but haven't been able to get there for all sorts of reasons. Today I went for the first time!

It was great. Lots of lovely stalls with lots of lovely goodies. I only had a small amout of spending money today, but picked up a few gems :) Check out the "Places I like to Visit" in my sidebar for some of my favourite sellers.

Can't wait for next months market when I can go without the kids in toe... It was a bit unfun today with their inquistive fingers....

The current battle in my head.

Breastfeeding.

Let me explain to you how I feel about it. For me.....

It's like getting a short haircut.... The idea of it is good. People like it when you do it, in theory it is supposed to be easier but whenever I do it, I find it rather annoying. It never turns out how I imagined it would. No matter how many times I try it, its always the same.
Now, dont get me wrong. I love the closeness that breastfeeding brings. I just hate how it feels. No it doesn't hurt. It's just an irritating feeling for me.
Not only that, I always have to bring the girls out whenever she wants them. No matter where I am or who is sitting next to me.
And the feeding frenzy days leave me feeling like a cow.... MOOOO!
Why is it that successful breastfeeding mum make you feel so guilty for even considering using bottles? "Oh but breast milk is like gold" they say.
We live in the western world where water is clean & formula is a perfectly suitable source of food...

Yet the battle rages in my head.......

The Wedding...

We awoke early in the morning. 3am to be precise in order to be ready for a 7:30am ceremony...

The bride was beautiful...

The ceremony was lovely...

The flowergirls were gorgeous....

The bridesmaids scrubbed up ok too...

Fun was had by everyone...

So honoured I was able to share the day with my best friend of 25 years.

A taste of gorgeousness for you all...

Kristie from 2 Little Bunnies came over last week to take some scrummy newborn pictures of Elizabeth... Check out some of her gorgeous pictures here...
