On maternity leave!!!

I am now officially on maternity leave! WOOP WOOP!

(I just typed a whole page and it got deleted. Won't bother retyping it! RAGH computers make me mad!!!!)

Here are a few snaps of Rosie xx

WELCOME TO THE WORLD MY GORGEOUS LITTLE NEICE!

Rebecca Maya was born on 21st at 3.31am weighing 7lbs 7oz, she is gorgeous! I enjoyed my cuddles on saturday evening and sunday afternoon. Rosie hasn't met her yet, maybe this weekend or next week. I am not sure what Rosie will think of her... she may be jealous that Aunty Ant isn't all hers anymore!!!


Then... my next dilema...
Last night Rosie holwed till 9pm (teeth...again), then tonight she fell asleep within minutes... on her floor! We have left her as she has wrapped herself up and fallen asleep on her pillow (she's made this little mini bed on the floor all by herself! sweet!). But should I move her? what to do, what to do???

This evening she had a lot of fun role playing with her bags, my credit card, her hat from when she was about 3 months old and her pushchair and baby doll. She went shopping and came back saying she had bought bubbles and water. Sweet!!!

On Sunday Rosie and I did some baking, we made cookies. She loved stirring and licking the spoon (don't worry it was after we had finished!), then enjoyed eating them after too! (although to be fair mummy and daddy had most of them).


best scoot, hope you like the photos, hugs, gemma xxx

Above me at 34 weeks... I am feeling rather heavy now and am measuring slightly ahead! Have a scan at 37 weeks so hopefully they will check size of baby... eshk! Could be a big one...

Rosie's new sandpit... she loves it, she got all the fun sand pit stuff from Ant and Gareth for her birthday.

Tim taking more bump photos for my memory box...

Rosie's new shorts from her auntie beverley! cute or what?
My hedgehog cake I made for my work colleagues, i just felt in the mood. Understandably it did not last till even the end of playtime, went down very well! I may make another for my last day, I finish on Friday!!!!!!
Rosie and her new shorts again...

Rosie's birthday week

Sorry these are in a totally random order! They have been taken over the past two weekends - her birthday was wonderful, she loves her farm and is just as gorgeous as ever! Enjoy these photos!
Below, Rosie loving Einstein...

Loving bathtime as always!
My master piece of a ladybird cake! Tasted as good as it looks believe it or not!?!
Rosie and her buddies enjoying her cake...
After a hard day partying she was utterly worn out!






Her camera smile (which is showing no signs of going anywhere...) with Ant and Gareth (their baby due in two days!)
With Ron and Jean, Rosie would not pose for the camera, I did try!
Rosie making her butterfly cake icing, she is a good helper now!
The first time Rosie saw her farmyard! She LOVE LOVE LOVES it!

so there you, go. 9 days left at school then maternity leave begins again - YEY! I am a little nervous about coping with Rosie and a new baby but very excited too... not long now!

Rosie's day out at Chatsworth Farm for her 2nd Birthday!

We had a lovely morning at Chatsworth Farm, we took her for Rosie's birthday, it is tomorrow but she is having a party tomorrow so thought we'd take her to the farm today. She was so excited but then got all frightened of any animal bigger than a duck! It was quite funny really, and since we've been home she keeps saying 'more horses, more baa baa, more ey-or'... I think she did like them really! Enjoy the photos!!!

















We had lunch in the cafe, Rosie enjoyed her posh cheese bap and posh choclate cake, she did have a banana too to balance out the naughtiness! She really enjoyed her morning and was asleep within minutes on the way home.
