I'm back again :D

My little Olivia is growing like a champ. She is weighing 23lbs and she is only just turned 5mths! By far my heaviest baby. She almost breaks my back everytime I lift the little angel! I'll give ya the birthweights of all 8 of my lil darlings:

Addie - 6lbs 2oz
Jade - 6lbs 6oz (twins; born 26 Jan 2001)
Carina - 4lbs 12oz (born 11 May 2003)
Thad - 8lbs 8oz
Caleb - 7lbs 10oz (twins; born 10 Oct 2004)
Timmy - 8lbs 13oz (born 7 Apr 2007)
Naomi - 6lbs 10oz (born 18 Apr 2008)
Liva - 11lbs 2oz! (born 28 Aug 2010)

This morning I caught my 'darling' little boys (Thad, Caleb & Timmy) cutting up my kitchen mop!
Mommy: Boys! What are you doing?
Caleb: 'Mophead'needs a hair style, mommy; it can't see through all the hair its got.
Thad: Besides mommy, 'Mophead' is a granny. 'SHE' has grey hair like Granny Anne (James's mother, my mother - Nanna Gianna - has white hair)
Timmy: Tad (Thad) an (and) Kale (Caleb) twold (told) me to dwo (do) it, muvver (mother), me not mean no arm (harm).
Oh, the joys of motherhood! My birthday is on 2nd January, the things i need know are:

1. mop
2. ironing board cover
3. a new set of dishes - they have slowly been broken over the years!

We had a very great Christmas! Granny Anne and Pop Peter (James's parents) came over for Christmas eve. etc. catch up later!

Keeping Me UP!!

Rubles is keeping me up ALLLLLLL night!

Rubles is her nickname after Carina (who has speech problems), pronounced her name 'Livia Rubles.

Anyway, little Olivia is eating so much that I have already slimmed back into my pre-pregnancy figure! She is eating me away!

A feed every two hours, 24 hours a day, and now she looks like 'roly-poly pudding' (another of Carina's little ploys!).

Addie and Jade are being so helpful. They are twins, so I can't say one is being more helpful than the other, so i will be fair. Addie is absolutly smashers at babysitting and looking after younger one. She loves it too. Jade is bangers at cleaning and 'pre-cooking', and she loves it more than "any other thing that I do in the house, except for reading". Those girls are hard to entertain, so if they need to do something i pull out the 'antiques' box with all the fabulous books in. They read for HOURS!

Carina loves playing with her toy ponies - called, Madeleine (she pronounces Madelaide), Jasper (she pronounces it Jecspa), and Winnie (pronounced Windy).

Anyway, i am tired so need to catch up on sleep.

Ruth Olivia

Baby Ruth Olivia was born 28th August, 2010, weighing 11lbs 2oz. She was born at 37 weeks, 13 hours after my waters broke.

I enjoyed my first home birth, this was the result:

you may think she is a giant but she was worth it ! I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!

Waters broke

Just to let ya'll know, my waters broke early today (an hour ago), and i would really appreicate prayers =)

With Carina it only took four hours for her to be born, and Thad - it took only five.

I have not had any "painful" contractions yet, but they should be coming soon.

Jade is making pancake batter, Addie is making smoothies and cupcakes, the boys are playing Play Mobile, and they have kindly let Carina play with them =)

Andrew should be home from work soon as i phoned him just after my waters broke, when he was in an impotant business meating!

But i am only 37 weeks along in my pregnancy, and all the other babies were born 40+ except for the twins born via c-section at 35 weeks.

Please pray!!!

Love

Hannah
