And then there was this week ....

Happy Friday everyone!!! I'm home from work, I'm clean & showered, I've had my glass if wine & apple pie & ice cream - thank you captain awesome, and as I lay here realizing I started this blooging thing and haven't really been committed to it fully,kinda like giving up smoking - keep going Mel you will get there, I still haven't put a photo up & really quite honestly I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing!! I'm going to visit a mummy friend next week & she's going to make it all pretty for ms & teach me how to do it, she did try to explain how to use 'drop box'on my iPhone but I can't remember for the life of me what she said, I remember clicking & photos and then I got confused!!

So tonight, in true friday style, I'm going to reminisce on my week. Ah, my week. Well Miss E was pretty crabby this week, let's hope there's another tooth coming through she only has one and looks a little like chucky, you know the evil little doll, but much cuter (yes, I DO think my baby is the cutest ever!) but tantrums and 'NNNNO'i really don't appreciate it or the no sleep thing, or the screaming for no reason or only going to sleep for daddy. I don't like any if it! We had a play date today with cupcakes and all, even a breakfast date and she was still pretty crabby! She had fun with the kids of course, my girl LOVES other kids she kisses & cuddles, I actually caught her in her room with her door shut with a baby boy just yesterday, they were talking to each other, but come on, we all know the rule, no boys in your room with the door shut!!!!

Also, my phone is not working. It's really hurting me. I haven't spoken to my mum in 2 days, we got our home phone disconnected be aide we both have mobiles & never used it, we would get the occasional call from someone asking for a Chloe, but there's no Chloe living here!! But my phone has been disconnected, not sure why, but I've got my man onto it, he works for good old Telstra, o how I hate them. I really angering being so out of touch with my friends & family & my 10,000 facebook checks a day, just incase someone invited me to play farmvile (I most certainly do not play it, no matter how many requests I get, still not tempted!) It really sucks. So I'm hoping that very soon it's fixed!!

We are also car shopping. Something I've been dying to do for a long time, we have been without a car for 6 months now, and it's not so bad because we live in a small town & it gives me motivation to get off my ass & go for a walk but we have Miss E's birthday which we are having in newcaste so kinda need a set of wheels to get to & fro, I don't think E will w Anna sit in the pramwith some apple slices that long!! I'm really in love with the Holden cruzeiro, I don't think I'm going to budge actually, but this whole car shopping thing is super stressful!!! So I've been drinking wine, every say this week!!


So it has been a little stressful at times this week, but it's been sunny, o so sunny, and warm all week! It's wonderful, me & E have been going walking everyday, we took a trip to the park, we had afternoon tea in the back yard the other day & she learnt to stick her finger up mummy's nose!! Nice. So all in all, who cares about the crappy stuff, I come home from work after a crap afternoon with E, a mental shift (turns out I CANT do it on my own lol) I get home & my beautiful girl is sound asleep & I know in the morning she's going to wake up & be so happy & so excited to see her mumma & it will seem like the best week ever!

Happy weekending xoxo

Then there's my birthday weekend - well that's a long story, maybe even for another time .....

One of many blog posts of me bragging about my girl!!

So this is my second post, yay for me!!! And I'm here to talk about my girl, Miss Ella Jean, or miss thing as I like to call her at times although lately it's all the time!!

She's 10 months at the moment and my god is she cute (bias much?) but really she is freaking cute! She is crawling, pulling herself up and walking along stuff & babbling on constantly. Miss Thing LOVES music, a little tune comes on tele and she starts bopping around and smiling!!

She has always been a generally happy baby, a nice easy pregnancy, a few migraines here and there and super swollen, well, everywhere but nothing major, then she came 5 days early nice & quick (yep 6 hours & natural, it's ok I'd hate me to) and a perfect feeder from the start. I only fed a short time because she had a tongue tie and started becoming hard work to feed then reflux on top of that so feeds every hour or so ( I forget about this alot & curse myself for stopping but my favorite mummy friend, who would have told me to stop being a princess & stick to it if she felt the need, reminds me of how painful it was getting all the time) so onto formula we went and wow was our unsettled waking at night baby super settled & sleeping all night now!! She always had a smile for everyone, never cared being away from mummy, Played happily on her own for hours, is now not so happy and smiley for everyone and barely plays happily on her own & boy is it tiring!!

While visiting a mummy friend & her gorgeous babies yesterday Miss Thing started biting.... Not. Happy. Then yelling at them & me & wouldn't share her toys, and they weren't even HER toys they were their toys!!! I'm far from impressed! You see, we are all on our lonesome here, no family, ouR family are the friends we have made, and us! So E doesn't see a big variety of people and we were house bound for 2 weeks with me sick then her sick and rain & germs & blah, so for 2 weeks we didn't see anyone really and E didn't get to play with any other babies and got held for 4 days straight, I let her sleep on me while she was sick because I was sad that she was sick & she liked it!! So now she is way to used to being held & hadn't seen other kids for 2 weeks & it seems that she's finding it hard to re adjust!!

So - as I sum up my really awesome blog post that you love reading SO much that you recommend it to your friends, I ask you this, how can I stop my precious little bubba from biting, being nasty & spoilt To other children & babies??? Any ideas or suggestions?? Am I over reacting??

Thanks for stopping by xoxo

First Timer .. Let's see how this goes!

Hi there!!
Ok so this is my first go at this, so if I'm a bit crap, bare with me & stick around, I might get better!!
I'm Mel - I have a gorgeous bubba Miss Ella, she is 10 months at the moment & pretty bloody cute!! Then there's Tom, he's my partner, he can be pretty awesome at times!! We are living in downtown young, it's coming up to 2 years of living here & we survived it, go us! We moved here from hervey bay QLD because we were bored & it sounded fun then I got a pretty cool job, apprentice chef, 5 months later I found out we were expecting Miss E! So that brings us to now!
I've been getting a little bored lately, as bored as you can get with a 10 month old who has not long started crawling & cruising along my furniture & have been stalking a few blogs & really loving slot of them, so I thought I'd give it a go!! Im not gonna' lie, I'm pretty nervous about it! Mainly because I don't want people to think I'm boring or offensive in any way!! But I hope you like it & I hope you follow me! I will most probably be jumping on to either have a good old whinge & vent or just ramble on about something.
I have a few mumma friends who are bloggers so I'll be definately getting some help off them & hopefully my next post will be a little more exciting! So stay tuned, please!!

As for now, I'm off to watch home & away and drink my glass of wine!!
