kimberly is now 4 weeks old, she is such a cutie, and she is now sleeping from 7.30pm till 1.30 am in the morning an extra hour long yah!

this seems to happen to me everytime i have a new bub, all the mums with one or two kids just can't stop commenting and lookin at me, it really gives me the shits, i'm not a bloody freak i'm just there to pick my kids up from school just like they are, its perthetic all the stupid remarks i get, my kids do as there told and are polite, and all these other mums kids are running around being rude and  swearing hitting  ect and there mums are going oh my god how do you cope?whats wrong with these people why do they hate being parents so much, if they didn't egnor there children so much and put a bit more effort into there parenting skills maybie they would find children a pleasure instead of acting like its some kind of horrible life sentence, and i am so sick of these big women looking at me and giveing me dirty looks and then saying something to imply i don't eat, just cause i don't sit on my  ass all day eating crap and smokeing cigarets

not only that why do so many women comment on your baby's size, this lady at bunnings the other day asked"is she day's or weeks old" and i replyed she was 3 weeks and she goes "oh my god she is so tiny" so i replyed"well she was born 7 pounds 13 ounces which is about average" then she looked at me and sneared and said "are these all yours?' and i said yes and she said something like my god

is it really that hard for some people to understand i love raising kids i love looking after myself i take aot of pride in being a mum and a good wife i really do like doing it alot, i actually have alot of fun  and it shows, and lots of people seem to hate that, as you can tell i am useing minti to vent hehe, i hope i did not affend anyone by my use of language lol, but i am really cheesed and this is how i feel at the moment, i can't wait till hubby rings tonight he always makes me feel beter

well its been a week since i started exercising so i got on the scales this morning and i have lost 2 kg's yah! so getting there slowling lol so i have 7kg's left to go now

well i was gonna get up early this morning but it didn't happen as i ended up staying up a bit later than i meant last night as i forgot muffins take a bit longer than scones to cook (i made 5 batches of bran muffins to freeze yum yum) so i've just gotta make some more pumpkin scones and coconut biscuits this morning

this is a photo of my four eldest children

my eldest daughters class was feachering in the school assembly this morning so i took all the kids down to watch, there was singing and dancing and karlee was brilliant, i am so proud of her she was by fare the best she stood out from all the other children,  she also did all the speaking aswell, i didn't take any pitchers as i was to buisy vidio tapeing her, karlee reminds me alot of myself sometimes it makes my heart feel  warm and fuzzy, karlee also got another award to put with all her other awards lol she has so many, i am going to laminate this years and put them on her door, same with james awards

 

okey well we've been pretty buisy, yesterday evening i stayed up late watching hubby put a fence up down the side of our house, then yesterday i did all the shopping and a heap of other stuff and after that i was so pooped that i grabed a scotch and coke and vidioed rob and the kids in the pool (yesterday was scorching hot) i took a few photos too which i've put under my blog, then we were up at 3.00am this morning as rob was going back to work so i dropped him at the airport at around 4.30 am and then i did a bit more shopping today bla bla bla so now i'm stuffed, i 've just finished giveing kim a fead so i'm gonna go hit the sack

okey well i got up at 4.00am this morning to to my weights arobics, bloody hell it was hard and i'm very proud i got through the 40min vidio now i just have to keep it up lol, i've found it usually takes me a week or two to get back in the swing of it once i get started ( i am just so busting to get back into my jeans) i have got 9 kg to loose i think it usually takes me a month to get back in shape but only if i do weights and arobics at least 3 times a week which sometimes takes me a while to get back into especially when i'm still breastfeeding quite reguarly, anyway robs not feeling to well today his sinuses are blocked he has a headache and feels crappy so he slept in this morning and is blowing his nose constantly, i think he must have the virus i had for about a month a few weeks back, it was dreadful, he's deffinately going to have to go see the doctor tommoro as he flys back to work thursday morning

well it was hotter today than it was yesterday which was great as rob and the kids went for a swim in the pool, well they spent most of the day in there actually which was great as i got alot of things done in the house while they were out in pool ( no gremlins running around lol)  also kimberlys sleeping really well which has given me a bit more time aswell as i spend about 15 min alone sitting with her while i breastfeed her sigh! she sure likes to take her time, it feels so wierd just sitting there i feel kinda lazy like i should be up doing something but i can't, wouldn't it be great if you could have someway of being able to walk around while breastfeeding at the same time yeh ha ha who am i kiddin i sound like a nut , its just that it takes me like all day to get all the house work done and i am really really fast i even have learnt to eat really fast as well lol anyway enough of that rob and i went out for dinner last night which was great its great we really enjoyed it and i so so neaded the break it was bliss no kid noises just adults talking arrr... so peacful, we had a baby sitter come round and look after the 5 eldest while we went out, and kimberly was really good while we ate i was worried that she might cry and i'd have to feed her (i hate breastfeeding in public it always feels like people are watching you and were we went there wasn't a parents room)but no matter as she was a little angle 

well it was 34 today so we spent alot of the day outside with the kids, so i took a few photos of the younger ones  under the sprinkler

well its been a really buisy week this week,  i'v started getting more things done around the house ready for my family day care inspection as i could get a call any day now, i wrote up my home day carers policy booklet last night and some new buffalo turf is being laid out the back this morning goodie goodie, the area that we are getting lawn put on was just some crappy gardens, lawn will make alot better use of the area as we have plenty of gardens already, and i think that is about it, everything else has been done so i'm gonna give our local family day care scheme a call tomorro so they can come and check it out and let me know if i've missed anything before the inspection, then i'll have to work our my fees ect, i already know that i want to charge what is recomended in the guidlines i don't want to set my own rate i want to help  parents not just make money, i personally think some carers are greedy with what they charge i just want to be fare, one carer even charges $1 per minute that the parent is late pickin there child up and that late fee is not subsidised by your child care percentage either, i don't think that is fare i would just charge them the normal rate so if they were half an hour late i would just add half an hour to there time sheet, anyway i'll be atrting in about amonth if everything goes smoothly as i want kimberly to be at least a month old as she will be sleeping through the night by then (well my others were anyway fingers crossed same will happen with kimberly) well i betta get of my butt and get organised as i've got alot to do today plus were going away for the weekend tommoro to evedon park family retreat which is about 20 min inland from bunbury so thats gonna be alot of fun

okey well i had changed my mind about haveing a homebirth a few weeks ago as you would have gathered, i changed my mind for a number of reasons one of them being that i realized i would need a rest afterwards and haveing the baby at home would mean i wouldn't get any rest plus i started to worry a little towards the end about if something went wrong so that was that no homebirth

anyway i went for my checkup with my regular doctor who was going on holidays and he told me to book for the following week which was the week i was due with this other doctor i've never seen before, so rob and i went to see him, when i told him this was my sixth he goes oh! well i don't like my mums who have had that many to go past there due dates (i looked really puzzled) then he said he has had a crisis come up (his dad is ill) so he is going away for a week, so he had a quick feel of my tummy and said i'm ready so would thursday be fine for getting induced (i was very shocked) then he atached me to this monitor thingy to check baby's movements ect and once he got of the phone he said okey is tommoro okey cause thats the best i could do there booked out all the other days, i couldn't believe it he was going to induce me the day before i was due holey crap! anyway i said okey and he booked me into hospital for 4.00pm the following day, rob was so exited it was really funny he started rubbing my calf with a big grin on his face lol, so after we left the doctors surgery i spent that afternoon and the next day searching for a baby sitter, then i finnally got hold of one that was available for an overnight stay till 12.00pm the following day from when i was going into hosital, she couldn't come until 6.00pm though so rob dropped me at 4.00pm at the hospital then came in just after 6 when the sitter had got there (when the midwife at the hospital looked at my chart she was puzzled and said why are you being induced? i said to be hounest i don't really know, she then said these bloody doctors there always doing this and continued to say because this is your sixth all the more reason to leave me to go into labour myself as getting induced can make labour harder and as little intervention as possible is always better, i agreed with her but decided to stay as i had already got use to the idea and had already organized everything, but then after she felt my tummy she said oh i think your ready anyway as the baby is right down), anyways they put some gel in and i was haveing mild contractions every 6 min, then they put more gel in 6 hours later and the contractions got stronger, then the next day the doctor came in at 9.00am told me i was 2 cm and broke my waters and it was full steam ahead, (i didn't need a drip and i didn't have any drugs ect) i walked around for a little while then once the contractions had got really strong i went back into the delivery room, i felt really sick so rob gave me a bag and i had a huge vomit (i vommited up all the breaky i had while i was waiting for the damn doctor to get out of his meeting, thats why he hadn't come in to break my water till 9.00am )then i had a bout 3 more strong contactions and she was out, she was born at 11.12 am weighing 7 pounds 13 ounces and rob was able to get home in time to let the baby sitter go home he then brought the kids in to see her, emma was that exited she was trying to get me to put my shoes on so that kimberly and i could come home with them lol, so i stayed in hospital for that night wich was great so i got alot of rest and sleep and the after pains wern't so bad at all i mean i did have them but i think the rest and the stay in hospital made them not so bad, anyway rob came back in to pick me up the next moring once he had dropped our eldests karlee and james at school

these are some photo's i took of kimberly this morning, so very cute

well this is kimberly who arived 1 day early, she was born at 11.12am yesterday morning and she weighed 7 pounds 13 ounces and she is very cuite, and oh my god i cannot believe i have done this 6 times, when the contractions really got going i started to feel nervous and all i could think was oh god hurry up, my labour wasn't any faster than with my last thomas who was very fast, i think it was only an hour and a half or something but i didn't get kimberly out with one push like i did with thomas, i got her head out in one contraction but then i had to wait for the next contraction before i could push the rest of her out OUCH! is all i can say, anyway it was still pretty good but deffinately painful but i didn't have any drugs
