Here he is x

Baby Kiaran 7lbs 14ozs born at 8:50am friday and absolutely gorgeous. I had forgotten about all the little noises babies make and it bought back a lot of memories. I can't believe she did it and I am so proud of her. After boldly announcing she was having 5 children she has now confirmed she wants NO MORE EVER AGAIN. Which is fine by me as I never slept the night she was in labour I was so worried. The baby got stuck coming out because of the cervix. The midwife just needed to slip a finger in to release the baby but didn't have the brain to know it and left her pushing for 4 1/2 hours till the poor boy was blue :(

Anyway it's over - THANK GOD!

It finally happened!

I havent blogged for so long but above are the two pictures of my baby sister Emma at the beginning of her pregnancy and last friday 6 days over due. Today, after all my encouragement telling her it will happen I finally got that call. "Mel, I don't think I'm in labour because they're just like period pains can you help me?" Yep thats me.. the pregnant advisor just because I have had 2 babies in the past 3 years LOL. This isn't the first phone call i've had. Infact she was timing herself last night when she fell asleep LOL
So where was I? Oh yes.. I just got called mom and was answered by some frantic lunatic who used to be my mom asking me if its ok for my sister to be in the shower. Her contractions are seven minutes apart and mom is going to call the ambulance soon. The first thing that pops into my head is "crikey my sister is even stressing about her hygiene when she is in labour!!" and secondly it just hit me. My god.. My sister has a baby in there. My little tiny sister (cue tears to my eyes which I so far held back) who I have loved and taken care of, played dollys with and had the kind of relationship where she was more a rebellious daughter then anything.. this sister of mine who I love.. is going to have a baby!! So when we was little and we used to go round each others "flats" with our babies and have tea and fight over the ironing board can very soon come to mine for real cups of tea and we can really share our lives and lug our offspring about. It's life changing and amazing.
SO i'm trying my hardest not to cry but I just got a text telling me I made her cry and that got me streaming. It's 22:03 now and she is at the point where she can't text back because she hurts. I had notepad open from timing her contractions earlier. It's so hard waiting. I'm glad she is staying at moms because I know she will have the support. I hate to think of her alone in the hospital waiting for visiting hours and tired like I was but I hope her partner will love and take care of her. Sometimes he is really nice and other times he says things like "its my duty to buy things for the baby not hers" in a keep your nose out excited big sis kind of way that hurts.
When I had Logan life instantly changed and there is nothing ever like your first birth. Everything was the first time and so frightening. The millions of large tools on the table by your bedside and machines which you don't know if they're for you or not. The first time you hold your newborn and cry uncontrollably that you did it and its over (haha if only i knew) and the look of pride on your husbands face. She is about to have it all. I would be insanely jealous if I was not so damn happy and proud of her.

I hope she has the most amazing birth

Oh shit I'm about to be an aunty!!

BAH Humbug!

No I haven't gone completely mad. I received a text from Niamh today (YAY) and she reminded me how much she just doesn't "do" christmas. I promised myself I couldnt "do" a friend that doesn't like christmas but she is the exception. I hate people that don't like christmas but think it is ok to spend tons and enjoy it for just the one day. I just think its a lot of love and effort to decorate the house (When you do it like me mwahaa) and a big expense to get things I am so happy to give as a token of my appreciation for the year.. and what for... a week?? No way.. them christmas CDs are in the car and the tree is up november every year.. wait for the pics you know I'm not kidding :D:D

Went to Hooty's warehouse today. Last week they was putting out the masses of christmas stuff. We have so many debts to pay off but seriously tinsel comes first! So anyway I got there and they havent even done it... LAZY.

September 11th yesterday.. how fast does time go. Nothing to say.

To What Do I Owe This Honour

OK. SO.. Finally got fed up of posting my LO's on UKS. What's the flipping point. No-one comments any more it's just a take take world. Anyway I won't bitch.

What have I been doing lately. Gosh wish I could think of something interesting enough to tell you.. just loitering!! Since Emily has been sleeping in her own room I have been mainly spending time with Lee and just spending every night scrapping. I have found myself really suffering with scrappers block lately. I am unhappy with everything I produce. I get so frustrated when a night passes with no production so I have really got into stamping and making cards and embellishments lately. Made a ton of christmas cards ready for the big season HEHEHEHE The question is can I wait a whole 2 months before putting my tree up...

SO.. I am the only person who puts their tree up at the beginning of November but I really love Christmas so much. I guess it's a psychological problem I could address but before that I need to decide on whether to have a black tree.. they're just so me and lee.. But they're not v. traditional christmas. Decisions Decisions.

Haven't spoken to Niamh in ages. Friends are really complicated things. In fact scratch that.. PEOPLE are complicated. I have got to a stage in my life now where every second is so important and if I am special to other people then they will make an effort to let me know. Have just been so tired lately. Endlessly sleeping.

Sorry there is nothing new to say but I hope you like all the new LO's I added heaven knows it took long enough xx
