Welcome to the world Lachlan!

We welcomed Lachlan Glen Baker to the world on Monday morning!!!

Our gorgeous little man weighs 2.63kg and is 48cm tall.

He is in the Special Care Nursery but is doing SO well!!!

Will is enjoying telling everyone about 'MY baby brother Lachlan'. And Glen and I are over the moon with our little family :)

Our crazy 24hrs

I spend yesterday and last night in the labor ward with the midwives expecting BabyB to make a very early appearance, at one point the contractions were do big and close together they thought 11pm and 7am max he would be born!

All a bit stressful (I just turned 35wks on Tues). So we were given a tour of the special care nursery and I was constantly hooked up to the monitors all through the night till this morning.

Luckily the contractions died down during the night and (thank u BabyB for listening to my 'stay where u are' pleads) and i was discharged at lunch time today.

So nice to be in my own comforty bed without all the monitors attached. Ultrasound shows BabyB is a good size, around 2.7kgs! And very healthy and happy bouncing around during all those painful contractions.

Here I am all hooked up and then sharing my bed with Glen, poor thing didn't get much sleep on the couch.

I'll keep u updated, but hopefully with bed rest I can keep bubs as is for a while longer.

My mum was an angel coming to look after Will and staying over till we got home. Thank u Ma!!!! xoxox

EIGHT YEARS AGO TODAY

Time flies when you're having fun they say. I think it must be true :)

I love you Glen,
Lots and lots and lots xoxoxo

The week that was....

Hi everyone,

Boy last week was a biggy.... 

we officially sold our house! The SOLD sign is up and now we just have to sit back and dream about our new house till we move in, in Mid May. 

It's all been pretty stressful when I look back at the last 6wks, opens houses at least twice a week, negotiations with both agents, making sure we have the budget all sorted etc. So very happy we've found the house of our dreams that we want to stay in for the next 20yrs so we wont have to go through any of this in a hurry :)

 

I've also been having labor pains and contractions for the last two weeks. I'm 35wks tomorrow so hopefully bubs can stay where he is for about another 2wks... Dr says rest and take it easy (not so easy when you are having painful contractions through the night)!

 

My sister in law Susy has joined the MSP team. And has been working with me, learning the ropes for the last week and a half. She has been fantastic. 

Yesterday was her birthday so I made a birthday cake for her. She requested a chocolate cake with coffee icing.

I'm not a great baker (despite the surname) although I blame my old oven. But I was quite chuffed with this cake. I made chocolate swirls on top and everyone seemed to enjoy it.

 

I found the 'How to' guide on the internet on how to make the chocolate swirls here:

So it's been a pretty big week so far, sorry I've been AWOL but I think I'm just going to try and rest in any spare time now so BabyB has every chance to keep baking.

I'll try and post a baby bump update though.

Have a great day everyone,
