Its been awhile- just a quick update

Hi, well its been awhile since I have posted on here as some people have pointed out to me so I thought I would just do a quick update and fill in more details when I have time.
I spent the week after Easter in Wales with Martha, which was lovely and got to catch up with a couple of my friends which was really lovely. I then spent the week after sorting out washing etc and getting ready for our holiday which was last week. The three of us spent a really relaxing week in Devon, weather wasn't great but it stayed dry most of the time. Well thats all over now and I am up to my eyeballs in housework - fun fun fun! Like I said this was a quick update so hopefully I will post soon with more details and some photos.

Quick update and some news

As I imagined everyone loves the picture of Martha in the bath, it really is one of those to get out in years to come and make Martha feel ashamed! Not that she has got anything to be ashamed of she hasn't, she is gorgeous.
We went to the clinic on Monday and got Martha weighed, she now weighs 13lb 4oz and is right back on the line where she was born- the little star. Also more recently she has been enjoying time on her front and last night and again this morning she managed to push herself over from her front to her back- what a special time. It was lovely as Liam was around to see her do it the first time which was great for him too, we are both hoping we can catch her doing it again on video! Watch this space.
Martha had her last lot of injections today for awhile and the nurse has told me to expect some dirty nappies and I explained about her last lot of runny dirty nappies last time and she said it was probably the injections- out come the rubber gloves then!!
As for me I have finally started training for the race for life and its hard going but I am feeling a lot better for it. I am hoping to run all the way but I am not going to push it too much, I can't put myself at risk of injury now, not with Martha to look after.
Easter is steadily approaching and I am looking forward to munching on a great big Easter egg, yummy. Well there is the sound of my lovely daughter crying so must dash and will post again soon.

Funny bath picture

Another week has flown by, where does the time go! This is a picture of Martha taken in the bath last night, she is going to love me for this when she is older but just had to post it cos she was so funny.

I went out with some people from work on Friday night and thoroughly enjoyed that, it was really nice to see people and of course Mummy here did nothing but talk of Martha!

I have got a meeting tomorrow morning with the head from my school to discuss part time work for September. I would really like to do music for two days but I think I can resign myself to the fact I will probably have to share a class with a friend of mine. Oh well I want two days so can't be fussy really!

Don't really know whats got into me today but I am in the mood for cleaning!!! How bizarre not like me at all, I have done the bathroom and its shining and now going to do the ironing and then my next plan of attack is the kitchen, maybe its the sun out and wanting everything to look nice! Well going to head off and make a start otherwise it won't happen!

A weekend of smiles!

What a lovely weekend that was, carpet was all laid the end of last week and the house was looking great. Wales at last won a six nations match and poor Ireland lost out at the last minute, what a six nations it has been. Liam and I watched the Wales V England match together after he insisted that it goes on record while MB had a bath and massage, I bet he wishes he hadn't bothered now!! Oh well, looking forward to the World Cup in September now.
Yesterday was my first mothers day and Martha bought me a lovely picture of herself to go on the wall, its not just everyone else who thinks she is gorgeous - she does too!!! Liam, Martha and I then went to Pizza Express for lunch which was nice, Martha just had milk though! In a few years time Martha! I also got brought breakfast in bed which was lovely, a real treat- thank you Liam for making my day special.
Today I have been to one of the NCT girls houses for lunch and everyone was there and even our NCT teacher managed to make it. It was the first time we have all been together since all the babies have been born, it was really lovely seeing everyone and catching up.
Another thing before I go- I am doing the Race for LIfe in March and am looking for sponsorship, all those willing to give a little please go to http://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/ruthcarys I will be grateful for anything.
Well thats it for now will be in touch soon.

Marthas weight update

Martha and I went to the baby clinic and she got weighed, two weeks ago she was 9lb 12ozs today she was 11lb 6oz!!! What a weight gain! I think it might differ though slightly as last time she did get weighed in the morning and today she had two more feeds than her last weigh in. Anyway its a great weight and I am really pleased, it also means I just have to go now when I want.
On another issue, Martha has had some diarrhoea today and its typical that Liam is out tonight so I am left with all the runny nappies. I think it could be down to a number of things including - me eating curry last night (I had another tonight so hope thats not it!), a reaction to her injections last Friday or the fact that she is having more formula. Apart from those I suppose it could just be a tummy upset. Well I shall keep you informed on that one.
Martha is also now a very big girl and last night she slept the whole night in her cot bed, she was fine and actually so was I- I thought I wouldn't sleep but it was fine.
So thats my news for today- still excited about the carpet too for those of you who think I am mad!

This gardening marlarky is hard work!!!

Does Martha look like Martha or Arthur?!

Above is a picture of Martha taken today in her little Everton romper suit which her Auntie Jenny and Uncle Shea bought for her. Now the question is does she look like a boy now she is dressed in blue or does she still look like a girl!?

Please post answers below.

She is still gorgeous though isn't she!!
