On Saturday mummy and I went down to Bega again to watch my second cousin Matthew play in the hockey grand finals. We got there 5 minutes before Matthews B grade final finished, Matthews team won, very one was very excited. At three o'clock we watched Matthew play for the mens team, Matthew scored one goal and that won the game, we all jumped up and down yelling "go Candelo".

Oh what a feeling!

Molly has finally had a good weight gain, 365g in a week. What a relief.

The last couple weeks have had to be the worst couple of weeks I have ever lived my stress levels going through the roof, constant worring and a whole heap of self doubt.

Molly has had me up most nights worrying about her, Is she going to start putting on weight? is she seriously ill and i dont know it. Am i doing everything wrong? and general questions like that.

I am so happy that I have a really loving supportive family that all live so close by. It has really helped getting give time tested advice about everything, from who to call and what different things they have tried and have found they have worked. I have found that calling Parentline (62058800) when it just got to much and I didnt know what else to do and it was midnight that they were there to talk to. They are so supportive and non judgemental that they really did save me.

The one thing that has suprised me the most these last couple of weeks are the people that either don't have kids or didn't want me to have a baby giving their opinions. Its really hurtful and not helpful, when as a young mum stressing and worring about everything, some one implies to them and everyone around that they are a bad mother and are doing everything wrong. When all the new mum really needs a kind word or some words of encouragement.

Oh well I guess everyone has those types of people, the best piece of advice that parentline gave me is you can LISTEN to someone and you can HEAR someone. If someone is trying to say things that aren't going to help just hear them, but when someone is trying to tell you useful and helpful information that is the time to listen.

well my time is up, Molly needs a bath etc, I'll update again soon

bye blogger world.

I'm Ready to go Aunty Bec

On fathers day mummy and I went to Cooma in the morning to drop Aunty Zoe off at home as she came to stay at our house for the weekend. On our way back we stopped at Nan R and Pops house so that mummy could have a quick break. Aunty Bec and Jack were at their house for pops fathers day lunch, when it was time for aunty Bec to go she tried very hard to hide me in her car so I could go and stay at her house. At 7pm Pop and Nan R and the kids came to our house for dinner. Mummy cooked Prawns and chips for nibblies when they arrived, and served slow cooked beef strogginoff for dinner. Uncle Mike brought cheese cake and Chocolate cake for dessert. Very one had a very enjoyable day. We have decided to have Fathers Day this Friday as daddy had to work on Fathers Day. More Photos of Pops Day here.

Mummy has a new love the T.V, at dinner tonight with Nan R and Pop we noticed that spider monkey and Pop have the same intranced look at the box.

I made it, I made It

On Friday we went and saw our midwife and Molly is finally 4kg actually she is 4.105 kg. We were so excited that she has finally made it. We found out that Molly can now have two 180ml bottles a day, so since Friday we have been giving her the two bottles. The midwife is hopeful that she will be around 4.4kg on this Friday when we go back, so I will update with the new information then.

Mummy break is over it seems to go so fast now...

On Saturday we went down to Bega to show daddy around mummy's home town. We stopped at the cheese factory and daddy thought that was fantastic. One the way back we stopped at nan and pops house and nan b changed my nappy and I just thought it was the best part of the day.

Mummy says check out the new photos of our big Bega visit.
