7 and a half weeks and counting!

Hi everyone

well, archie is a staggering 7 and a half weeks...time is seriously flying...the simpson house has been flat out with pete back at work and travelling around a bit, and archie and i spending some quality time together without dad...i dont know how mums who are on their own do it! The weather has been so-so, it has been difficult to get out and about for a walk in the pram, so archie has spent a fair bit of time in the baby bjorn and in our arms, just to make sure he gets some sleep, coz boy his nasty if he doesnt get his sleep! i have attached some updated pics below.

The house is coming along slowly...we have a kitchen now which is exciting...and are just awaiting the stone for the bench to be delivered before the floors can be put in...pete is busy bogging up the holes, and sanding in preparation for painting...the theory is that we will get archie's room finished first so we can fit out his room with the portacot and work in the house while he gets some sleep through the day...he is a real bugger through the day with his sleep, because of the pains in his belly so we are hoping that subsides soon and he feels a bit more comfy as it definitely wakes him up...

we are going on our first overnight outing next week which we are all excited about...to traralgon which will be great...see how we go!

anyways...hope all is well in your world, wherever you may be...and i will post again soon...i have to get down and take some pic's of the house to update the blog...maybe next time!

take care

luv and hugs

an update for you

hi everyone

well archie is a staggering five and a half weeks and is growing every day. He has some major wind/colicky issues which keeps us very busy through the day. He likes to be with us so by the end of the day we are all generally tired and worn out! At the last weigh in, archie was a whisker under 5kg, so the newborn nappies didnt last long! Pete heads back to work tomorrow so we are up for another adjustment with a set of hands gone! It has been wonderful to have him home...and he has been a great help.

The milk pimples have hit archie which makes him look super cute...and he still has his stork mark on his nose and behind his head and neck. I will try and get some pics up over the next couple of weeks...its just trying to find the time with a little person who doesnt sleep much thru the day! poor little bugger... Just like his big brother eli! we finally got our first smilewhich lit up the whole house!

The house is coming along...The plasterer has all but finished and hopefully the kitchen will be in next week! something to look forward too. Pete has finished the drainage for the retaining walls so hopefully it wont get too boggy anymore...next job is to plumb the 2 big tanks we bought, so we can use tankwater for the house where we can.

we should have some news for melons cottage soon - from the legal eagles, and we have our letters of support as well which have been great...

just need to get into the house...we are probably hoping by aug/sept now...will keep u posted!

anyhoo, best fly...archie is begging for a feed!

lots of luv and sunshine
