Me and My Family

bruce and damien
bruce and damien

im 23 and have a beautiful son named damien.

he was born 6 pounds 14 ounces and 10 days over due. so i had to be induced with him. everything was goin fine till i caught a fever from the drug they give you to help dialate and the drug to help you feel contractions through the epidural. which ment my temp went up and his heart rate did to so he was born via emeregency csection.

he spent three days in the neonatal ward due to breathing complications. but all thats behind us now as he is a strong healthy boy.

my parter is a chef and works long hours but when he gets the chance he's spending every second with our son who he loves so much. its changed his life around so much and taught him that there is something worth living for.

my parents both love him so much. he's the first grandson for both my parents but the second grandchild for my dad. my older sister has a little girl who is so beautiful.

my dad loves having a grandson as he had 4 daughters so all he does is spoil damien rotten with trucks and tonkas and cars.

my mother was so scared when she heard about my labour she flew over from New Zealand to make sure we were both alright.

damien is the 14th great grand child for my grandmother. in my house is the four generations. my gran. my dad, me and my son.

faceplant

Comment Published at 22:0822:080 comments0 comments30 Visits30 VisitsReport

yes as it states my little man (who is into everything now) decided to walk outside cept he forgot there was a step and face planted into the (thank god) rubber mats i had just placed outside. 

he did go out the front door and graze all up his left side (that was mainl;y my fault i forgot to close it) but thankfully nothing major just some tears and lots of love from mummy.

Am I A Fireman Yet??
>
> In Queensland , Australia , a 26-year-old mother stared down at her 6

> Later that day she went to her local fire Station in Brisbane , where

> Three days later Fireman Bob picked up Ben, dressed him in his

> He was in heaven. There were three fire calls in Brisbane that day

the accident

Comment Published at 14:3814:383 comments3 comments42 Visits42 VisitsReport

my darling son who is now fully mobile decided to chase the cat (poor kitty). so heres the funny part, bruce was running up and down the hall way trying to get away from damien (every time damo got close bruce would jump over him) this went on for about an hour.  till bruce had enough and jump on the couch.

k heres where the accident occured. bruce who was up out of the way was still the target. damien  tried to grab his tail and pull him off the couch  but missed the face planted hard agaisnt the side. 

lucky no damage done but a very sore face and a very upset little boy.  thank god

i dont think he learned his lesson as this morn hes back to chasing bruce.

the cat and bub

Comment Published at 17:3017:300 comments0 comments34 Visits34 VisitsReport

ok so as you all know damo is at the stage where is can almost crawl.

so my other baby bruce the cat was asleep on the floor near where damo was asleep, damo who woke up after a nap decided that he wants to pat the cat. (im teaching how to the gentle and hes getting it sometimes) so bruce was quite a fair distance from damo but the little "sweetie" decided to pull him self towards bruce.  slowly at first then he got hold of the tail and pulled bruce to him (bruce wasnt pleased) after a few attempts of trying to eat the tail bruce hissed rolled over and moved furether away till damo got there too. 

so bruce the cat had enough hissed at damo jumped on the couch and sat up there away from damo who cried cos he couldnt get bruce anymore.  

also bruce hasnt every swiped at damo and im always there wen they  play
