we knew our luck would run out sooner or later I just dont’ understand why it has to be my beauties that get to suffer.

This is the end of this blog I can’t write here about what has happened this blog was so full of hope and dreams of my growing babies inutero and their birthdays once they’d joined us. We are all alive don’t worry but we’re not the same at least find that sameness is going to take a lot of work.

While I’m up for a good witch hunt and ceremonial burning at the stake, in this instance I feel it only fair given your advanced years to let you off… just this once woman.
Your missing comment is lurking on Belle’s page under her photo.
No no need to thank me I live to swerve .

I’m forgetting what that felt like to fail so completely at getting pg, to produce dozens of eggs and have maybe 2 at transfer if I were lucky. Canceled cycles, blood tests, tears, fears, anger, sadness it was my life but I’m sitting here and I know that it will always be a part of who I am but it’s not all I am anymore.(more I want to say on this another time)
I can raise my eyes to level and see the blobbies in the backyard with water pistols (yes I’m an evil mother I enjoy listening to my kids laugh whilst brandishing guns) squirting each other and poor Sam (dog) who can’t move quite fast enough to get away from them and Hairy who is doing his best to pretend they are in trouble, they are having a ball out there.
That’s my life now and while we have concerns and fears occasional glimpses of sadness and latent anger it’s minor and fleeting. Has enough time really passed that saying I’m HAPPY really means I’m happy not just lip service? stuff knows really but wow it feels good.
Now the object of my affection and the best medicine there is…. My blobbies at 2years 1 week (adjusted age) oh Jack’s head really isn’t wonky my phototaking skills are rather lacking.

Has gone and I haven’t posted! Now there’s a surprise huh.
The Blobbies turned 2 on the 27th of last month, my beautiful babies are now beautiful toddlers.
I love the age they are at, it’s such a cute, funny, crazy loving age. Yeah they’ve had tanties but who hasn’t. Yeah they can be demanding but meh so can I. But the hugs and laughs and joy they bring far out weigh any crappy moment.
We got married on the 28th of last month, kinda thought we’d go all mainstream and legal after 10+ years together, who knows it may even work lol.
and now the annual blobbie photo, new and improved because we’re in it, shame Belle kept untying my dress but it’s only a dress…
whoops there used to be a photo here
Blobbies stats… still in 97%tile for little prems they are kicking some growth chart arse!

Today the blobbies turned 1 did you read that ONE my babies are a whole 365 days old.
Time has flown by and I’m finding myself stunned that they aren’t only at most 4 months old. Both continue to be mega stars in the eating sleeping playing depts. they eat everything so far we haven’t, no wait thats a lie, I did find one thing they don’t like, salmon. but who can blame them I’m not a fan either. Sleep as always is not an issue down for the night at 7pm up for the day between 7.30 and 8am with 2 solid naps during the day allowing me time to whirlwind thru the house righting the paths of destruction they’ve created.
Jackybear is growing up so fast, he’s our calm mover and shaker of the two. If theres a pillow to climb over, a lap to be sat on, or a weird new implement of torture errr toy to play with he’s there first every time. He loves his mum and is the proverbial mummas boy. I love it. something so wonderful about bubba snuggles. He is standing up cruising the furniture, he will in fact if you stand still too long attempt and succeed in pulling himself up to stand beside you. I’ve since stopped wearing flowy hippy type elastic waisted skirts because far too often he’s managed to leave me standing there sans skirt. As I said he’s a mover and shaker, so it goes without saying he was also the first one to come to harm. I heard a fleshy thud turned around and said the usual, you’re ok up you get jackybear, only to notice that the inhale was rather long. Now all you mums already know that the longer the inhale the louder the scream to follow it. I scooped him up checked him over … nothing… then it started, a nose bleed. man can noses bleed. No lasting harm done but now I know the dif between a oops i fell on my bum thud and a omph nose meet floorboard thud. He’s language skills are on par for his adjusted age, he has the usual mumma mum mum thing down pat, the dada, the uh oh and assorted vowel sounds but he also sings whenever music is playing and a song comes on he likes he sings along bounces his little chubba bubba body about and gets into it. (by sings I really means makes noise. I’m a proud mum but hey even I know what the dif between singing and noise is. Jackybear now sports an impressive set of chompers 5 thru with one on it’s way to being more than a sharp little corner poking thru. the opposite of Bellabird his are two on the top with four on the bottom. all the better chomp a finger with. He is the typical boofy boy weighing in at a respectable 11.5kilo he’s at the 95%tile for his age
Bellabirdy our drama queen is beyond funny, she’s hilarious everything with her is OTT, a smile or giggle HAS to be accompanied with arm/hand motions or sound effects with Bellabird her whole body smiles and laughs along with her. Lately she enjoys pretending to choke first few times it had me worried now it’s just her little game, cough choke cough giggle laugh squeal etc. Like Jackybear she is a love muffin. She dances a lot, her fav songs to dance too include such all time classics as “I love aeroplane jelly” “row row row your boat” and “happy little vegemite” Bellabirdy crawls properly and scoots around faster than her brother but is all too often side tracked on the way by highly desirable tid bits like, oh i don’t know a speck of dust so more often than not, she gets to the toy/treat/lap/whatever long after Jacky has claimed it as his own. So far there haven’t been any accidents with missymoo. She is very careful and is our plotter and thinker. she watches everything and doesn’t attempt anything until one day suddenly she’s crawling properly or sitting up on her own she never ceases to amaze us. Her vocab is probably twice what her brothers is. Again she’s hilarious they’ll be on their way somewhere important like under the kitchen table. Jacky will cut her off or crawl over her or something like that, she’ll catch up with him (eventually) get right up in his face and tell him off. No idea what she’s saying but the volume and the tone are unmistakable. he’s getting told then she’s all smiles and giggles and life resumes for her. Bellabirdys tooth count is the same as Jackys only she has two bottom and three and a half top teeth. Our little girl is all girl while her weight is 11kilo she’s not at all boofy or chubby looking just nicely rounded out she too is at the 95%tile for age. Her eyes are a beautiful blue and oh boy does daddy melt when she turns them his way.
Not a day or hour goes by that I don’t thank the holy green jellybean for these two blobbies. Other than for language skills we no longer adjust their ages and haven’t done so for some time now. I so miss the tiny itty bitty bubbas that they were but I can honestly say each stage brings with it more fun and enjoyment and I wouldn’t change anything for the world.
Happy Birthday my beautiful birdybears.

Or some title that relates to whatever I’m about to dribble out.
As we are moving interstate (join me in screaming yippeee) and leaving this arctic wilderness known not so fondly as the arsehole of the world. I’ve had to start culling my collections.
Ever make bargains with yourself? You know the kind. OK self you can have 2 xlarge vac bags for the blobbies precious can’t give away clothes and thats it. But then find yourself renegotiating that limit? OK 3 vac bags and that’s it ..final ..no more. Oh but look at this XYZ it was his favourite romper oh and these 5468410867 dozen bibs etc she looked so cute wearing see it has ladybirds and you love ladybirds.
HOW do I give this stuff away and cull down to a manageable level without breaking my own kneecaps because I can’t stick to my own self agreements?
in other news of the meh variety. we have Highchairs now and we use them they aren’t just a decoration for a dusty corner. Mind you I still heart the bumbo chairs they rock like nobodies business.
After much research and almost daily treks around various outlets trying the blobbies in so many chairs that my brain is still in denial I ended up going with the cheapest one I found. Not for the price but because it has no bloody ruffles the seat cover comes off for easy washing and they fold up almost flat so storing them isn’t an issue. I admit I was in love with a chair I found at one of the baby stores here, but honestly it was the same love/lust I feel at seeing shiny things in a jewelers window. Pretty doesn’t always equate to realistic or useable. I also figure at the price these were I can ditch them without any pocket pain if we eventually find the booster seats, someone recommended (mental note to self it’s not that hard to bookmark a blog post for later referal) so they can sit at the table that I fear may only be availabe to the USA crowd, sucks honestly sucks to see all these things and know there is a fat chance of ever getting them here. What is available here that I’ve seen is shit.
picture of the day. = Jackyboy has taken to crawling over bellabird whenever he gets a chance, just lately he’s taken to laying over her so he can play with whatever has caught his eye. Note the messy floor? yeah I can see it too, but meh babies make mess it’s what they do.
oomph get off me
