Emmas presents

Morning all,

I made these presents back in April, when i went on maternity leave. I couldnt post pictures sooner as i had to wait until i see Emma.

So here are the piccies:




This is a photo holder i brought from my local craft shop. I cant say i did much to it cos all i did was paint it and add a couple of extras to pretty it up.

This is her birthday pressie, i used piccies of us both from when we went to butlins in march last year, this was taken from the cosmo cricket tsv i got a while back:







I love the outcome of this piece more than most other things i have ever worked on, i think it looks really good.

Thanks for looking.

Daisy-anns first trip to the seaside

Hi all,

Sorry i still being a bad blogger but i spend too much time just staring at my daughter. Still saying 'my daughter' seems weird...lol

Monday we woke up and cos the weather outside was lovely i decided spur of the moment that I was going to take Daisy-ann, mum and Darren to southend.
So with that we all got ready, and off we went.
We arrived and Daisy-ann was soundo, she didnt wake for at least hour and half whilst we was there.
We went into a little cafe and had lovely fresh cod and chips, and my oh my was it tasty.
We then went for a walk, we couldnt go too far down as mums legs and back were hurting.
We then stopped on the sea front had icecream, slush puppy and daisy-ann had her milk lol.
Then off we went to sea world, this was daisy-anns fav place i would guess, as she stayed awake the whole time, and was engrossed watching the fishes.

Here is a slide show of our day

Got Daisy-ann weighed again today and she now weighs in at 10lb 12. So she is getting big bless her.

Have a nice day.

Registered birth

Hi All,

Yesterday was a busy day for me. I had midwife appointment in the morning, where upon examination it turns out i had loads of stitches still in, so the midwife removed them. Talk about pain, it was def more painful than when i had stitches removed before. She said that the infection looks like it has cleared up now the stitches have been removed. There is still one stitch left she couldnt reach but she said that is fine.
So i have now been discharged.

I then went and picked up Darren, and off we went to the Langtons to register Daisy-Ann. I was sure my appointment was at 2:30pm but when i got there it turns out it was actually at 2pm, thankfully i was there at 2 as i like to get places early in case of problem like this...lol
So we registered baby, which took about 15 mins to do.
From there we went to the Aspen Tree pub for lunch. It was a nice meal.

After that we went to Romford as i needed to buy a top for Darrens party tomorrow night, after trying on a few tops and cople of dresses i settled on a blue top.

All in all it was a very busy day.

Baby is now a month old, i cant believe how quick things are going. She is getting so big. She is lifting her head when laying down, and she kicks punches and gurggles all the time. She is such a little character already.

I am hoping to get some crafting time next week as i feel like i am getting withdrawal symptons. I have got a scrapbook baby book thing that i would love to start for the baby, so maybe next week i can get on with that. I havent done any crafting since i made the arrival cards. I have got quite a few piccies to put up of bits i made for emma, so i will aim to do that next week too.

Thanks for looking.

My little chunk :)

Morning all,

Been the bad blogger again i know, but i have got reasons. I am still poorly after giving birth to my little angel. I not only had a low HB, but i also ended up with a infection, and now i got cystitis so all in all i am feeling pretty crap.

Daisy-ann is doing really well though. I took her to be weighed yesterday and in 2 weeks she has gained 2lb 2.5 ounces, hence my title of little chunk...lol
Two weeks ago she weighed in at 7lb 8.5 ounces and yesterday she weighed in at 9lb 11 ounces.

Here are a couple of piccies:






Thanks for your continued words of support, and best wishes etc for both me and Daisy-ann.

Also thank you to everyone who has sent cards and gifts.

Thanks for looking.
