The Boys Are Back In Town!!!!
You bloody ripper, it's footy season, and if you listern to my good mate Sarz....maybe you should avoid me from friday to monday, coz I go a bit hardcore!!

My team, as is my mums team and now (until he can say otherwise!) Jack's team, is the St Kilda Football Club. The Mighty Saints!
Every game day since birth, Jack has been dressed up in team colours, Nanny refers to him as the Saints goodluck charm, coz we've done pretty bloody good over the last season!
The trick is though that Daddy isn't an AFL man(Melbourne Storm fan), and Nanny doesn't think she could last a game in the uncomfy seats. But I'm determined to make it happen!
Last game I went to was the retirement game of Nathan Burke. He grew up in the next street to us, and substitute taught me in grade 4, so we had a soft spot for him. I was at work when I heard on the radio that the coming weekend would be his final game, so after work I went to the box office and got tickets for Mum and Dad and Tyler and I to go. It was awesome!! It was also the birth of my footy potty mouth ;) I was sitting there in the loud atmosphere, thinking I'd be safe amongst the noise, I let the swearing rip, getting passionate and LOUD!! And yep, Mum and Dad heard it ALL!!! Lol.
Every televised game, Nanny, bub and I watch it on telly....
This weekend just gone marked the Saints 2010 debut, against Collingwood for the NAB Cup, and we won by 1 point. Woot, great start to the season!!!
Go Sainters, fuck yeah!!!!!!!!

The Princess Syndrome...
What, may I ask, is with little girls these days being so commonly labelled "Princess"?
Prince? There ain't no Prince here!
She will not be raised to be some "damsel in distress", waiting for her "Prince Charming" to rescue her, she shell have the confidence and self assurance to go out into the world and claim what she wants on her own terms, reach her goals and beyond. Tuesday, February 16, 2010
Valentines Date With TWO Spunks!!
Once the food was collected, we went to join the line at Dromana Drive-In. Bub came back into the front seat for the wait til the gates opened, loving hanging out the window looking at all the "caaAAARRRRRs!" that arrived behind us.
Once we got inside the park and stopped the car, Muma made a mad dash for the food, by now it was after 8.30pm and buba and I were starving!!
When ever we go out for fish and chips, Daddy has always come well prepared with tomato and tar tare sauce, so thoughtful and sweet, yum yum!
The first movie was great, a romantic comedy, perfect for a day of love.
Jack was so great, as it got dark he settled down and boobed for most of the night.During half time, between films, I passed a sleeping buba over to Daddy so I could go find the toilet block. Upon checking myself out in the mirror as I washed my hands after(as we all do! lol), I discovered the press stud buttons on my top were all done up miss-matched!!
Well, lmao, all I could think after being in a que full of other full bladdered female patrons....all these chicks prob think I've been in a car MAKING babies!!!! But, I've been boobing one ;)
The second movie started with images that I thought were sure to give me nightmares, I was beginning to think it best I spend the movie gazing at my dream feeding buba rather then the horror of the screen. But it did get better, I myself didn't even realise til I found myself laughing in parts. Why? Well, perhaps you need to see the movie yourself to appreciate what I mean, but I was eerily freaked out about how much I could picture loving the sort of revenge story that played out in the movie. The things done, were honestly pretty sick, but the movie was one of those that gets you thinking, and as you do, you totally get why these events take place, and personally I empathised with the person.
Driving home buba woke up, but as he's in the middle of the back seat, as soon as he caught sight of some tail gate lights he was mesmerised and amused for the ride home.
Was a lovely date xxxx
Here are pics of our last drive-in date.....our wedding anniversary in march of last year. Both buba and my 1st drive-in experience ;)

Straight Rainbow Love
I love rainbows!
LMAO whys it suddenly seem weird to like colour?
It seems absurd to me that liking colour has meant a sudden worry on some peoples behalves that I have changed my path in life, that my once straight direction, is no longer...
People who get around in dark colours aren't all goths, are they?
They may look bloody boring, and I'm sure those shades surrounding them doesn't do much for the spirit, but their beliefs aren't questioned, are they?!
Last year we had one of Jack's library buddies over for a play and it was the families first time at our home. The child's mother exclaimed, as she looked around our lounge room with a shocked look, "Boy, Jack sure has a colourful life!" But the way she said it, was like it was a bad thing. Like the lounge room looked like someone did a Technicolour vomit!!Wednesday, February 10, 2010

Humble Pie and Breast Milk
Muma and Jack meeting Hollie and Kaiden.
Jack is no longer the "baby" of the family, and these teeny tiny twins sure make him look huge!!!
Jack was rather taken with the bubs, giving them strokes with his hands and little kisses and head to head hugs, which burst my heart with pride!! He sure will be a brilliant big brother when our time comes ;-D
I felt awful that amongst all this, the joy of these twins, my heart ached for our lost twins and my mind was racing with "what could have been". I was looking down at them, trying my darnest not to weep, I hate that these thoughts took over again. I don't want these twins, these two complete different beings, to be any symbol for me of a "could have". But unfortunately as well, their birthday falls just two days short of the anniversary of our babies being taken from me, one day before we found out they had passed away. I'm hoping in time, this will act more of a healer then a heart breaker, because these babies have nothing to do with ours, and it's not their burden to carry. And just to be clear, I don't resent my sister for having twins!
Anyway, getting back to the joy of it!!!
The twins are actually doing a lot better at feeding. While I was there, they both fed several times, and Kaiden actually guzzles his ebm from the bottle far better then our Jack ever did, so my sisters breastfeeding journey is starting to look successful! I didn't do any correction of attachment or anything, Muma and bubs looked pretty happy, though I did try to explain baby led attachment.
Don't you just adore seeing a newborn and their Muma locking eyes?! The whole world melts away in those moments, so sweet ;) This is Hollie with her Muma, fresh from a successful breastfeed.
Hello Hollie! Hollie woke up for a little look around as Nanny nursed her.
Jack sharing afternoon tea with his older cousin Joshie, who was stoked that Jack was now big enough to chase around the house and play cars with!
This is Millie, loving holding her sister Hollie, she's such a little muma. When Mil came home from school, she was shocked at how big her baby cousin Jack had gotten! It's been a good 6mths since they saw each other. Likewise, I couldn't believe how much my little Mil Mil had grown, such a little lady now!!
And of course, me being the breastfeeding freak that I am, couldn't resist a photo op of us two sisters, both with child to boob........
19 month old Jack and 17 day old Hollie, enjoying their Muma's milk :)
Little Muma Millie watches on as her Aunty and Mummy breastfeed their babes.
I really hope, that armed with all the info I've passed on and the help she can receive through the services I've told her about, that my sister gets the breastfeeding experience she longed for with these babies.
Peace, Love and Breast milk to you, my sister xxxx
