Birth choices

So at the moment our government is trying to take away the right of mothers to birth at home. This really makes me sad and angry....first off how can they decide to take away Rights? Second how is putting more people into the hospital system goint to help the system get back on its feet and treat SICK people.
Giving birth is a natural part of a woman's life...sometimes it can become complicated and this is why we need maternity hospitals, but if you are healthy and of a low risk group your descion to birth at home should not be taken away!

I am astounded more people are not up in arms about this...if it was taking away your right to a Cesarean or epidural this would be an outrage...I wonder if the general public feel that only hippies and careless women home birth....totally not true it is usually the educated and well informed who chose to follow their bodies instincts and birth were they feel most comfortable.....I birthed my sons at hospital as this was my CHOICE and RIGHT...so I dont see why taking away a right of someone to choose is a good thing...I am seriously considering a homebirth next time...of course with an independent midwife and doula and of course my loving family.

Be angry people this is goign to affect all the women in Australia...they deserve the right to choose!

Happy birthday to my wonderful husband!

Yesterday was my husbands birthday! He is the most amazing man. He works such long hours in our business and still has the time to be With the kids!

We spent the weekend at our shed, skiing and being with great family and friends! I am just hoping he knows how amazing he is even though no one was there to sing it to him!

I just hope that he was happy to be with just us and feels so loved and appreciated!

Love you babe!

Please dont "train" your baby!

To my boys...you are my life, not an inconvenience..I am your teacher not your trainer...I will love you no matter what ♥ xxx

I wrote that after reading about babies who are left to cry for hours because someone had told their mum that babies need to learn how to sleep and the only way you can do that is if you ignore their cries :( Baby trainers have a very harsh approach to how babies should sleep! Why can an adult be loved and cuddle to sleep yet a beautiful baby who cannot talk and only way of communicating is through crying is left to sob their little hearts out to sleep!

What ever happened to trusting ourselves? Why don't we trust that we can do a great job, why do people write books about sleep that tells us to go against every nerve in our body, why don't we believe that our babies wont be spoiled if we care and love for them how we feel we should! Why do we listen to people who are preying on sleep deprived parents with their quick fixing books which cause more harm than good!

They are only babies for a second and how we raise them and love for them impact them for the rest of their lives!

I really think every new parent should read the Science of Parenting or any of Pinky Mckays books!

LOVE is the most important thing <3

Well holidays are finsihed and we are back to normal routine as of tonight!
We had a wonderful 2 weeks together, spent time at the shed, braved the crowds at dreamworld and spent much needed time with family and friends!
My little monky has grown up so much over the past 2 weeks! His speech is amazing and he just loves his little fatty brother. My little buddah is getting so big he is 10 weeks this week and is overdue is yucky needles so they will have to be done :( But he is such a happy baby!

The new year has also come and we are looking forward to lots of great adventures. We plan to buy a new house, organise and re doecorate the business and spend more time together!
As the new year rolled in I have beeen feeling better about my Gender dissapointment issues. I am feeling happy and in love with my 2 little men!

So happy new year...may your year be filled wiht love, light, hope and happiness xxx

Boys and thier dollies!

We went to the gorgeous Nest Nappies today to get some more nappies.



The owner and her little girls were there and they are the sweetest Little things ever! Monkey played so well with them, kissing and hugging :)



He was loving playing with a doll...when all of a sudden Dolly needed a feed... so up went monkeys shirt and he happily breast fed the little doll...it was so cute! Then he had to change her nappy!

I am so proud he knows that booby is best even if he is a boy :)

Is this too much to ask for this christmas ROFL!

I am so lucky my beautiful husband doesn't mind I have a teenage crush on a man who plays a sparkly vampire.....you know I have never been obsessed about anything before!

The books came into my life when I was feeling a little lost and needed a pick me up. I had finished the series in 2 weeks!
Then came the movies....not as good as the books but it was nice to put faces to the characters...and then came the crushing on Robert Pattinson and the buying of Twilight related merchandise! And so my life as a Twihard, Twimum, Twilghter began :) Sometimes I am embarrased being a grown woman loveing something that is aimed at teenagers and hide that the Edward doll I am buying is actually for me and not my 15 yr old make believe neice!

So to my dear husband this is all I want :)

Gender disapointment at christmas.

My second son was born on Tuesday the 3rd of November this year.....what a shock he was a boy! All pregnancy I really thought he was going to be a girl, maybe it was because I really wanted a little girl..the pigeon pair.
When he came out into this wonderful world and my Husband told me it was a boy I straight away said we have to try again.
Bonding With Flynn has been hard...as I still really wanted a girl...I know its not his fault and I love him with all my life but I cant shake this feeling.
99% of my friends now have a boy and a girl and I was told today another friend is pregnant with her 2nd a girl..she already has a boy...this makes me so sad and so insanely jealous.
We went shopping today and all the pretty girls I cant buy were taunting me! Saying ner ner you cant buy me! My husband says its silly to buy clothes for Flynn as we have so many form Myles...but he is is own person and shouldn't have to live in his brothers shadow right!
I am just so sad...I was so excited about buying pink things and tutus this year ...its my own fault though I should never had got my hopes up thinking it was a girl.
The disappointment is so heartbreaking as you feel so blessed to have this perfectly healthy baby but would give anything for them to be the opposite sex! I see friends who have lost babies have babies With special needs and think i am such a cow for thinking like this...but the pain wont leave untill i have a baby girl I think...which wont be for at least 2 years :(


Ok vent is over..its Christmas and I need to be happy right!
