7.45 kg. 63 cm long. Head circumference 42.5 cm. …at 14 weeks and one day. Let’s put this in perspective:  miss tallest in her class  and large craniumed thanks to mummy’s genes A did not reach this weight until six months and the length and head circumference until at least four and a half months. [...]

Lucky eight. Weeks that is.

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

By some wierd and random act of your choice of deity I find myself with a baby who is asleep and two kidlets at the pool with mr hissychick. In other words I actually have a chance to blog. There is so much to catch upon, so much to tell you but as I am [...]

ZOMG

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

I have a five year old who starts school tomorrow even though I am positive I only brought her home from hospital last week. A two and a half year old who has completely toilet trained herself and starts Physie classes next week. A five week old who already rolls from her back to her [...]

Where we are at

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

First offer on house today!  Baby kicks now felt externally! I took two children to the movies and not only survived but enjoyed the experience (Ponyo is well worth it, a refreshing change from the usual American schmaltz and a great introduction to Anime for the kidlets)! E is using words such as ridiculous and [...]

A belated 2nd birthday post

Monday, June 29th, 2009

What kind of slack tart mother leaves it until almost two weeks after your birthday to write a far too brief milestone post? The one who is currently enjoying your 6am starts to the day, nap fighting and insistence that I lie next to your de-sided cot big girl bed while you fall asleep, never [...]

I will blog again

Sunday, June 21st, 2009

…so much to tell you but a little hard to type when you are spending most of your ‘free’ time trying to get your as of last Thursday two year old to go to bed (hers) and stay in bed (ends up mine), never mind actually sleep. Naps are passe, and the nights are not [...]

And the dog goes moo

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

How do you refrain from laughing when your twenty two month old fearlessly pats a two tonne cow at a local agricultural show, cooing “Nice puppy” lovingly in said bovine’s ear? And follows up with a “Hello Molly!!*” to a kangaroo at a wildlife park a few days later? While it is clear that miss [...]

“Thankyou Mummy” you whispered to me tonight as I tucked you into your cot , freed at last from the sleeping bag you have grown to so intensely dislike. Thank you my darling girl. For the giggles and milky snuggles that we enjoy first thing in the morning and last thing at night, inching ever [...]

“Is the Easter Bunny real or pretend real?”

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

I’ve worked very hard today on perpetuating the myth, through the sly technique of answering all questions with questions.  Apparently a large fluffy white rabbit bearing chocolatey treats will be visiting our house tonight. I don’t care about the whole tradition of giving the kids some magic through a long standing custom of make believe, [...]

Noodles

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

Today I took a rather excited A to have her four year old vaccinations, having received a somewhat mean letter from the Government which in essence stated that if I didn’t stab my child yesterday my childcare benefit payments would cease*. And wasn’t she just beside herself with excitement over finally getting her big girl [...]
