9 Week Cuteness

Okay so Im biased but can she get any cutier???

Bit of a hectic week, Evie seems to only sleep for forty minutes at a time during the day called catnapping and at night is waking allot every couple of hours now which I haven't experienced before so Im feeling exhausted, quite delirious and I cant sleep during the day cause she only sleeps for forty minutes and Im so busy packing so yeah Im knackered and today was a tough one lots of crying. AGHHHH out come the earplugs....She is so loud wonder where she gets thats from???mmmm

The beautiful pictures above were taken by my friedns Christy and Janna and my auntie Anne.

off to bed early tonight!!!

8 week Bliss

So Evie had her injections on Monday she did so well and only cried for a small time as I was feeding her at the time. She was a little grumpier then normal but I've got her on a routine and Wow I cant believe its working. She slept through the night last night okay so she woke up at 5.30 but 8 weeks old and sleeping through the night I'm so happy. Shes so much happier as she has been really unsettled during the days , lots of crying and not much sleeping so then by the evenings shes super tired and over tired then becomes very unsettled and cries. Now we are doing the routine she goes to bed at 7 pm I don't know what to do with myself I have all this free time and I can predict it as well.


I Started a new mums group down at Bondi the mums are all really down to earth and not one hundred percent focused on babies which is a nice change. Getting out and about even in the rain, and started walking long distances everyday great while Evie's asleep. Now I have a bit of a life back I need to do some more interesting things during the days so I'm planning lots of days out.

So Evie's talking allot more now and is happy to sit in the rocker while I cook or have a shower as long as I talk to her and give her attention shes happy. I also got Chris and Leigh to babysit last night while I have a massage . So good and Evie was perfect except for the tornado poo it went everywhere luckily I packed spare clothes. She is smiling at everyone , so funny and then she tries to talk to you as well.


Here is a little video of Evie trying to talk very cute.

7 weeks

Well this week has completely made up for last. Evie has been a dream except today but I think that could be the atomic greens I ate for dinner last night.

We had our first train trip yesterday , I much prefer getting public transport with Evie its so much easier then having to get her in the car and out just when shes falling asleep.

Evies so happy now smiling at everyone lapping up all the attention especially the men oh shes a little flirt already. She mimics me allot sticking out her tongue and even tired blowing some bubbles in the bath yesterday of course it ended in tears when she tried to drink the bath water. I try to give her a bit more play time now but she does like to sleep allot I think she was having a growth spurt this week lots of eating and sleeping and not much awake time at all. But then again they say newborns should sleep 18 hours a day.

She now weighs 5kgms and gaining weight rapidly.Phew after last week I thought she wasnt getting enough milk but all is good shes just a fussy eater and fast she finishes in ten minutes no messing about .

So not much else to report on except we have a beautiful new home we move into in 2 weeks. SO yeah very glad to be out of this apartment. We move into our new home with a friend Kelly and it in Dover Heights right by the ocean its beautiful. Its quiet , ground floor apartment with a back yard all the things we need for Evie so Im very happy.

6 Weeks

Whoah what a week, the week started out great I was feeling really good and confident about being a Mum . Met a lovely girl in Bondi Junction on Wednesday and got invited to a new Mums group on thursday at her house. Evie is the dream baby compared to other Mums . Feeding and sleeping at night well. Well up until Friday everything was great then how quickly things can change . I got a cold and then passed it onto Evie she had a cough and I was really worried so took her to the doctor , then I developed Mastitis on Friday night. Horrible is the only way to describe it . SO Evie wasnt feeding as well because of her cold and I got all the wrong information from the doctor , I have just got her feeding well again today she was really fussy and refusing to feed which of course made me so upset, but we are back on track now. She is still quite unsettled and has cried more then normal but hey I can deal with crying just the not eating thing.

Our social calender is quite busy , we have a walk tomorrow in Centennial park with some new mums,thursday and friday we have two different mothers groups and going to a talk on parenting as well.

Evie had her 6 week check up and all is good healthy little baby . She weighs 4.6kg now and 59cms so she has grown allot in 6 weeks .

5 weeks Smiley Girl

My little girl is so cute now Im enjoying dressing her in pink. She is smiling more and more everyday and making so many more noises , cooing and gurgling. There is so much enjoyment when she smiles for the first few weeks its all about the boob and nothing else so I'm really getting excited about what she will do next.

I can't believe how much can come out of one small baby. Evie has started doing what I call the tornado poo, it seems she saves one up for a day then lets rip, it goes everywhere up the nappy and over the top down the legs all over everything she where. Its quite amazing really.

Back home now after spending a lovely few weeks with Dad and Maz. I'm enjoying getting her into a routine , I have met some girls who have just had babies so catching up with them tomorrow. It's funny meeting up with other new mums we all compare and ask does yours do this etc. But great to know we are all going through the same thing although I feel like i have dream baby compared to theirs. I'm still getting 8 hours plus a night sleep , Evie's only waking at 3.30 and 5,30 now. So awesome. But then I have to deal with her crying during the day. Not so bad.

I'm feeling a bit brain dead, think I will go back to studying as I have quite a few hours when she is sleeping . Good chance for me to learn German.

Evies first holiday - 4 weeks old

Dad , Maz and I decided to get away for five days to south west rocks,a sleepy little coastal town in between Port Macquarie and CoffsHarbour. We got a gorgeous little unit over looking the beach, it was great and very relaxing lots of long walks on the beach. Quite funny because every time Dad and I go places people congratulate both of us on our new baby , Dad's like no I'm the grandfather, I just giggle. Now I wonder why people smile at the me and the baby and then look strangely at Dad, hehe. So the time away was really nice, we went swimming everyday the water was 21 degrees and so warm. We did'nt have a bath at the unit so I bathed Evie in the kitchen sink she so loves the water and now we are having baths together everyday. So nice too share these moments with her. Shes just so cute and as much as I love seeing her change it's so nice her being small and compact.

Now I'm back at Port and I leave to go home this weekend. I'm really looking forward into getting into my new life and now I'm feeling really confident about being a Mum now. Evie's been quite unsettled during the day . I feel like its ground hog day at the moment. The same every three hours, feed change nappies burp, wrap settle put to bed cry ,more cries, she falls asleep wakes up cries falls asleep cries, feeds, burps etc. Today was the first day Evie has been interactive I had her on the toy gym (pictures above) and she was making some gurgles and happy noises and some smiling , nice change from all the crying. I'm getting used to the crying now and don't freak out everytime she goes bright red in the face and screams I know she's got wind and does'nt take me long to settle her. Wow she has some lungs on her , I also think she just needs to cry just to get all the energy out. Tonight she has slept for close to four hours , and at night shes great no crying . Few feeds every night, and Im not feeling too tired.

Shes starting to lose her hair at the front looks quite funny like a balding man. Its really fair underneath so I think she'll be a little blondie. Feeding is still going well, she gets very unhappy with me if I take her away from the boob. Ohoh shes waking better go and feed the little hungry bunny.
