HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATE!

Well it is here the "Terrible Two's" (did l say that). I can't believe Nathan is 2. The time has flown by. But he is a delightful little boy to have around.

Some history. I went into labour on Mothers day 2005 (not that l knew that at the time) and had Nige driving me around Belgrave (he was looking at the hard rubbish) and finding every bumpy road we could find. It was not till we got home and had hot dogs for tea and l went to bed feeling ill that l thought "oh maybe l am in labour". So rang the hosptial at 10pm and they suggested l have a bath. Rang them back at 11pm and went in.

I was still sitting around at 12noon on the Monday waiting and waiting, picking on the nurses (as you do to pass time). My OB came in now and then to check me out. By the 17th hour he said things were not progressing and wanted to do am c/section as Nathan was in distress. By this stage the pain had kicked in and l did not care. By 5:06pm l had my little red head screaming boy in my arms and l was in love.

From this :

to this:

Nate and poppy. (can't half tell where the red hair comes from).

Nate and his cake. (cupcakes l made for playgroup)

Nana and Pop came over for an early dinner and then we opened up his gifts. His favourite gift was his new cd player and all he wanted to do was play his "usic".It was funny he could not figure out how it worked, not until l told him it needed to be plugged into the power in his room. He also got a Thomas the Tank DVD, some Thomas and Bob the builder clothes, some tools and concrete trucks. He was very spoilt.

He then showed Nana and Pop to how clever he is with his remote control car on the floorboards. We certainly wore him out as he went to bed happy and not a peep out of him.

Had to share one l took of Tahlia today. Not sure who she looks like? She is a bit grumpy today (as well as mummy and daddy) as she decided 3am was a good time to cry and everything we did would not settle her. She finally settled down at 5:30am or there abouts. But about to take them all to the dentist, just so Nate can get used to the place and well Tahlia to get some dentures.. lol just kidding.

I think l have another baby tooth about to fall out! Yep you heard right, it was sore for a few months and then l was eating something the other night and was certain it moved (the tooth not the food) and yeah there is some slight movement. To look at it in the mirror l can see the other new tooth coming down. Some people laugh when l tell them and say "so you are teething. Are you irritable, drooling, not sleeping.." Yep l tell them (but not cos of the teeth eheh) the joys of motherhood.

Also off to an Open Night at a local school to have a look at their Early Learning Program for Nathan. He will start at 3yo. So best get the kids ready and off to the dentist.
