Asparagus

I love asparagus!

Just snap the ends off, toss in olive oil and sea salt. Bbq and when done squeeze half a lemon over them. Yuuummmyy!!!

Ken Street Fighter

J came home today with his costume for this years work X-mas party.

Theme; Computer Games

He is going as "Ken Street Fighter"!

Made me giggle and Frida started to bark as she thought he was playing with her whilst he was doing his fighting moves! :)

Baby Bjorn

Yesterday was the first time we tried the Baby Bjorn me and Oliver. He loved it and quite frankly so did I, have my arms back and he just sleeps in there!
Bliss!

With a little help from...

....my friends...

Saturday was hot and Oliver was unsettled and basically up from 1 am to 8 pm - i.e all day. This has never happened before...

He is a bit of a textbook baby and I have been so proud of that , oh and spoilt. I get to have dinner with J every night as I KNOW he will sleep from 7 - 10pm....
Not sunday though...

He finished off the day by cascade spewing loads all over the bathroom. That has never happened before either... It freaked me out.

Yesterday and today he is back to normal again , sleeps in 3-4 h slots and is happy again... I feel human and order restored... :)

Thank god for lovely friends who can help and give advise and most of all my beautiful sister who keeps checking we are ok. She remembers clearly how challenging the first weeks are and has offered great support. xx

Now time for a nap before he wakes up...

Life

Life throws all sorts of things at you.

Been quite ill since birth of the most gorgeous boy on earth. I am so grateful for him, if it was not for him, I'd be really depressed by now...!

This last week I have been in and out of hospital, huge pains in tummy and uncertainty on why this is happening has made me really tired on top of the pain. Not a great week health wise.

This is also very stressful for J who can't help me and is left with Oliver on his own worrying about me and how to feed him.

Hopefully from now on things will improve. Seeing my obstetrician on Monday and I am confident she will sort this out for us.

Now I am concentrating on resting (which I am not good at but need desperately!)

Sorry for doom and gloom. Good news next time, promise...

Good food

J is currently out doing himself in the kitchen. Each night he makes me something really special and I love it!!

Tonight ;

Cornchips (from Norton Street) and a Salsa made with tomato, onion, coriander, cumin, lime juice, loive oil and salt.

This was followed by oven baked pork chops with stewed capsicums. (Bill Granger)

Giving birth clearly grants being spoilt with good food!! :)
