Home Today.

Caden had his first bath today.  I asked one of the midwives to do it for me so I could have a 'refresher course'.  :)  He loved it!  He was so cute when he was getting his hair washed, you could see that he was really enjoying it.  Thank goodness.  He wasn't that keen on being a frog on his tummy though.

Daddy came to pick us up and we were off home just after 11am.  Yay.  I was very excited to see my wee girl again and be at home with her as well.

Here's Nana with Lilli and Caden...

Lilli Meets Her New Little Brother Caden...

So Nana bought Lilli in to see Mummy and Caden today.  She wasn't too interested in coming to see Caden she just wanted to see Mummy but once she got to Pukekohe Maternity Unit and saw him she was besotted...

Caden is dealing with mucus.  It gives hin a sore tummy when he swallows it.  We are waiting on a poo at the moment!  Yum.  Haha.  He has a bout of wind as well the poor little fulla.  He's a brave boy though and so mellow.  Really a good baby.  I go down to the dining room to eat and wheel him down with me - he just sleeps away in his bassinet.  The other girls are dead jealous.  :)

Welcome Caden!!!

We are very happy to welcome Caden Jack Sargison to our little family! He was born at 5.28pm at Middlemore Hospital after Mummy's super quick approximately 2 hour labour. He is a healthy 8lb1oz (3.67kg) and was measured at around 49cm long. He is just lovely!

Here he is just arrived and skin on skin with Mummy.

Whew that was exhausting.  Yawn.  :)

Isn't he a cutie!?

Dressed and ready to head out to Pukekohe Maternity Unit.  We only stayed at Middlemore long enough to shower and dress while we waited for Max to come back with our car, which had the carseat and a bag for Caden and one for me.

Lilli picked up the phone this morning and 'rang Nana'. I heard her saying: 'What you doing for day instead of today?'. Lol. Then when I said to her 'Lilli do you want to come and sit at the table and have breakfast please?' she replied 'yeah I coming. I just finish this puzzle first.'. Ha! How's that?!

Toddler athletics today at playcentre.

At playcentre today Lilli was into the slime again doing the sticky wicky thing.  Then a new accomplishment on the playground was that she climbed DOWN the plastic cargo net.  That's a first.  She's only been climbing up it so far.  Of course it's always nerve racking watching the adventures in the playground.  :)

Check out the two little mates again at playcentre.  They are so cute to watch as they develop their friendship.

And here's Lilli and Hannah being tigers.  :)

17 August 2011

Today at playcentre the kids were playing with slime.  Lilli has never played with it before so I asked her if she wanted to come and see.  Well she loved it.  She was making streaks with it and saying sticky wicky sticky wicky.  She says to me I'm going to get your shoes!  Sticky wicky.  then Lachlan started copying too.  When I asked her what she was doing she said 'I making sticky wicky .  Then all the kids started doing what she was doing.  So cute. 

18 August 2011

I asked Lilli 'have you got a runny nose?' and she replied 'yes, it's coming out this little hole here' as she pointed at her nostril.  Obviously I was in fits!  :D

Then at 2.45pm we went to Pukekohe for a photo shoot for the plunket photo competition.  It's done on community votes so we know that she wont get anywhere but it's a good way to get professional photos done of her for $10!  Check them out...

Lilli in her new summer hat that Oma and Opa sent over for her.  Also in the package were some stickers, a colouring book, and other stuff.

22 August 2011

Our fire place was installed today!  Yay.  So we had a lovely BOILING HOT house as we had to burn the fire at full tilt to burn off the yucky new fireplace smell.  It was hideous and we had all the doors open until really late and the house was still super hot.  Anyway now we will have a toasty warm house without the power bill!  We are also lucky enough to get firewood from Mum and Willie.  Man they are good to us.

At playcentre today the kids did volcanoes in the sandpit...

then played on the playground...

did a bit of building...

and Lilli and Sarsha ran around playing the pois.

I am 37 weeks pregnant today and HUGE.  Nearly there.  In some ways I want the baby to come early but I also want it to be late for Lilli's sake so that she has just that little bit of time with her Mummy to herself.  Although she is so frustrated wtih me not being able to run around and jump on the trampoline with her like I used to that it probably is better for her to have me 'thin' again.

25 August 2011

Mum came around today and bought lunch for us.  For a treat afterward Mum had a custard pie and I had a chocolate lamington without cream.  I had fresh cream in the fridge so I whipped it up and put it on the lamington.  Lilli saw it and decided to have a try.  She loved it and ate heaps of cream off the top.  Then she said 'it's got white and brown and some glitter'.  :)

Here's Lilli giving her 'baby' a bath.

30 August 2011

Here is Lilli with her backpack (like Dora the Explorer) ready to go off and explore.

Went to Cathi, my midwife today and mentioned to her that the baby has really slowed down over the last couple of days and I haven't felt much movement.  She sent me for a scan to make sure that everything is ok.  Was 37w6d and baby 7lb7oz.  Has big feet apparently and a smallish head (this is good!).  Tummy has been stretching all night tonight so it's getting bigger.  Hmmm.  Hurry up and come little one.  Meanwhile my gorgeous girl put up wall sitckers in her room today and also put up the new baby's ones in the baby room.  How sweet is that!  :)
