Billing Blog

Grandma Billing and Skye came for a visit today.

 They had some lunch, then baked some cookies together.

Our precious little baby girl was welcomed into the world on 07/08/2008 at 6:38am.  We named her Molly Sarah Faith Billing.

It was a quick birth as we arrived at the hospital at 3:15am. Blake was sound asleep in bed so we called Grandma to come out so we didn’t have to take him out of the house. Apart from the sleep deprivation it was what I was hoping would happen because daddy was able to call Grandma at around 8am to say Molly was here and went home about 9am to be with Blake.

 As it turned out it was Blake’s daycare day so daddy dressed Blake and took him to daycare and called in quickly to check on Mummy and Molly on the way back at 10am. He was then able to go home and rest for the afternoon after being awake since about 6:30am the day before. (Robert went to bed at 12.00am and I woke him up at 1:30am) He had about 30 minutes more sleep that I did. I think I went to bed about 10:30pm and was awake with what I thought could be a contraction at 12.00 (midnight) it turned out I was right. I stayed in bed until about 12.30 and yes I had 3 of them so got up and then couldn’t really get back in bed as laying down really hurt.

We took Blake to the Melbourne Zoo with his cousins Eden and Samantha.

We had lunch at Nanny’s before going to the zoo and she was saying how much she enjoyed the carosel ride at the zoo.

We spent yesterday re-arranging Blake’s room. We have taken the cot and changetable out of the room and he now has a toddler bed.

He is sleeping really well in the bed and stays in bed when we tell him it is bedtime so I am really happy with that. He also stays in bed when he wakes up and calls out to us so we go in and get him up for the morning.

Hello Peter Rabbit

Daddy went back to work after the Easter long weekend and came home with a lovely white rabbit.  We asked Blake what to call the Rabbit and he said Peter Rabbit.

Today I played with my cousin Campbell.

We are both going to be Big Brothers in August 2008.

Easter morning the Easter Bunny arrived and had lots of chocolate eggs waiting for Blake, Daddy and Mummy.

Blake had more fun taking the wrappers off the eggs rather than eating them. He is not a big fan of chocolate. He prefers jelly type lollies. 

Then we took Blake on an Easter egg hunt that friends of ours organised. Blake had a lot of fun finding all the eggs and especially what was inside them. The little eggs had jelly easter bunnies and jelly beans, plus some chocolate eggs to share with daddy.

Blake is happy to be spending time at home with mummy and daddy over Easter.

Blake and mummy made some Easter Bunny ears.

We took a daytrip to Wilsons Prom as Robert’s cousins Eden and Samantha were visiting.

 It was a long day but we had a fun time. We went to Squeaky beach where the sand squeaks when you walk on it. Then we went to tidal river.

Tidal river is a good place for toddlers to swim as not too deep and no waves. I believe the water level does change throughout the day though so we may have been lucky to go when it was shallow.

We spent the morning opening presents to each other at our house. Blake got a Mr Potato Head from (Daddy, Mummy, Billie & Rubin)

and a My First Remote control car from (Santa).

We then went to visit Robert’s dad in Moe, we didn’t stay long as he seemed very sleepy. We gave him a tray of Christmas goodies that we hope he enjoyed later. Homemade rum balls, m&m’s, a gingerbread man, shortbread.

Then went to Warragul to have a Christmas lunch and open more presents with my family. We told my family that we are expecting another baby early August 08. Due date at the moment is 3rd August 08. They were very happy for us.

And a silly photo of mummy with a big Toblerone, I won’t starve if I go on Survivor : ) Billie and Rubin got Smakos for Christmas and it came

with the Smakos bandana.
