Wanted to share some excitement… 2008-06-24 11:47:13 I can fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans! So the other day I was going through my wardrobe to see what old stuff I could wear and yup… I fit into them. I have to admit I have a TINY bit of a pouch belly but 2 and 1/2 weeks after I’ve had a baby!!! I’m [...]
Photohunt: Water 2008-06-21 02:43:49 This week’s photohunt theme was water so I found these photos of my husband that I took back in January. May I repeat… January… in Ireland… in the sea! He is a little bit nuts sometimes and decided it would be fun to see how the water was for swimming at that time of year. [...] Read more:Photohunt
10th July: Goals this month 2008-07-10 15:19:48 A new month… and some new goals.
Try and take more walks:
This has been a goal from the last 2 monthes that has been going quite well. I wanted to get into a good routine of getting out every day for when the baby arrived… now that he is here we are trying to get out [...] Read more:Goals
How’s Ollie doing? 2008-07-10 14:12:25 Brilliant is the short answer…
He now weighs 9lbs 9… nearly 10lbs! Hard to believe that some people give birth to babies this big. I’m really noticing a difference in his size… :)
He is getting strong… especially his neck. He loves lifting his head up and looking around… especially when lying on your chest… his favourite [...] Read more:Ollie

Love Thursday no.7 2008-07-10 14:10:20 I think this photo illustrates love quite well for this week’s Love Thursday
. Ollie loves to lie on my chest this way and often falls asleep. He is so cute like this and he curls his little legs right up and wraps his arms around you in a big hug. I love him lying this [...] Read more:Love Thursday
36/365 2008-07-10 14:05:58 We have been putting Ollie in his new bouncer chair the last couple of days and he loves it. in this photo he is tired so has his head to the side but normally he has his head up and he is looking around. I like that he can sit up and see around him [...]
I spoke too soon… 2008-07-09 15:16:23 Ollie is wide awake and on my lap playing…
35/365 2008-07-09 14:27:47 Today was the first day we put Ollie down at a semi-sensible bedtime. Until now we have been having him up with us until his 12.00 feed and then putting him down when we went to bed. This is not good. We decided we had better get him used to going to bed on his [...]
Talk About Tuesday: Our (soon to be) New House 2008-07-08 16:43:28 So… the weeks are flying by and before we know it James, Ollie and myself will be moving 100 miles back home to Belfast. I’m so excited… I had not really thought about the move back recently because I have had my hands full with Ollie (and oh how the 4 weeks have flown!!) but [...] Read more:Tuesday

34/365 2008-07-08 16:06:23 Today I made Oliver ‘official’. Hehe. He now exists properly. I took him to be registered in Lombard Street, Dublin and here is his birth certificate :) I was so worried I would spell the name wrong or something…
32 and 33/365 2008-07-07 17:21:48 6th July
Ollie and his cousin Conor playing on the mat… this was the first time they played together… it was so interesting seeing how they interacted with one another. Both seemed quite excited!

This is the blanket I knitted for Ollie :) I’m very proud of myself for knitting it as I’ve never knitted anything [...]
31/365 2008-07-05 16:19:04 My best friend Charlene and her husband and little boy Josh all visited us today. She lives in Belfast so I haven’t seen her since she visited us last time when Ollie was just born. I miss her loads all the time and am so excited to be moving back to Belfast in August! [...]
50/365 2008-07-24 17:06:21 Oh my goodness… don’t fancy talking about poop… but this one deserves a mention. They say a mother is rarely disgusted by her own childs poop… only other peoples chicldren’s poop bothers women…. but whoever said that lied…. i was nearly sick when I saw what Ollie had done today. I had to call James [...]
No title 2008-07-23 16:19:43 Can you believe that my little Ollie now weighs 10lbs 8 ounces…!
49/365 2008-07-23 16:17:39 Today Ollie and I met James in Herbert Park (local to his work) for a picnic lunch. I brought crisps, pesto pasta, olives and salami and some nice lemonade.
Ollie also saw his first duck pond… I thought he would be more excited but to be honest… he slept the whole time hehe! All the ducklings [...]
Music Meme 2008-07-22 16:40:06 The rules of the meme are:
List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now, shaping your spring (or whatever season). Post these instructions in your blog along with your 7 songs. [...] Read more:Music
48/365 2008-07-22 16:20:23 Another smile photo… captured the end of the grin just… anytime I go to take a photo of him smiling he stops!! That’s why this photo is fuzzy… had to grab the camera in a hurry hehe…

The toy in the picture has a mirror on the underside of it and Ollie enjoyed gazing at [...]

I need motivation! 2008-07-20 16:04:34 I am the worst person in the world at dieting and I’m even worse at exercising! But I need to… I have a little pouch tummy at the minute that is driving me insane…. we got wii fit and everything… but I can’t seem to stop eating unhealthy fast food and takeout and can’t seem [...] Read more:motivation
Quiet! 2008-07-20 15:41:59 I’ve tried a few times putting Ollie down at a sensible bedtime hour only for him to be screaming from his cot 5 minutes later…. tonight though (cross my fingers) it seems to have worked. I put him down at 9.10 and it is now 9.40… a whole half hour and he is snoring! I’ll [...] Read more:Quiet

Photohunt: Dark 2008-08-09 05:50:52 I thought this would be a hard theme but having thought about it a little while I remembered taking the below eerie dark shot at Electric Picnic Music Festival here in Ireland last year.
Electric Picnic is a Boutique Music Festival and people go for the atmosphere as well as the music. In one of the [...] Read more:Photohunt
Life is hectic right now! 2008-08-08 16:52:54 Eek! I haven’t been able to post until now… except for the one liner about music! I’ve still been taking my 365 photos though and just posted 3 in a row below :) Things here are just getting on top of me and I’ve been drowning in a load of washing and ironing. I haven’t [...]

A letter came in the post reminding me of when Ollie was scheduled to have his jabs! He gets them at 2, 4 and 6 months. 1 set of jabs down only 2 more to go! I wonder will Ollie be wiser the next time and be more upset because he knows what to [...]
Music… 2008-08-07 07:57:11 I need inspiration for some new music… I’m slightly fed up with the music I currently have on my ipod…
ALL ideas welcome! What are you listening to at the minute? Read more:Music
62/365 2008-08-05 14:30:33 Today my dad came to take some nice photos of Ollie…it was kind of a trial run for a shoot we are going to do when Ollie is smiling a bit more and has better head control. Having seen the photos from today… I can’t wait for the next visit! Good family photos is a [...]
The cuteness… 2008-08-04 15:24:26 Dunno how long this has been circulating the internet but it is so cute that it brought tears to my eyes… I can’t believe the lion remember them even though he had gone wild! I had to share!
