Ooo thank heavens for that!!

Yayyy!! Im sooo happy its unreal.


We finally found a bottle that Baby A will take!1 its only taken about 8 different brands of bottle to get here!!
Mam!! You are my saviour!




This couldnt of come at a better time. I recently got a new job, only part time, but still something. This means Daddy can now feed her as can anyone else who i so choose.... :)


The MAM Antic colic selt sterilising bottle came through after i emailed MAM. I bought the pink version from sainsburys for £4. And it was the best £4 i ever spent!!


The one that came through from was the green smallest version, they also sent me a few soothers for my elder children to try. So far these havent been used as Baby A wont use them at all. No matter what dummy, she wont have it!!


This is the one MAM sent me through. 






A very kind friend of mine gave me three blue MAM bottles and i love her for it lol!!




This is the one i bought:




And these are the ones my friend sent me :)



I love them, Easy to hold, clean and use. But more importantly, Baby A loves them :)
Thanks again MAM :)

I Lurveeeeee the cake :)

Ah cake, my downfall. Be it battenburg or bakewell tarts, you name it i eat it lol!


Only now, my new hobby, is devasting me. Purely because i see and make all these decorated cakes and i cant eat them. 


I think from now on i'll be taking a deposit for the cakes though. Easier that way.


My mum says i got my cake talents from my grandad. Im not entirely sure on this as i was only 2 when he died, so didnt know him that well unfortunatly :( 


The first cake i made, was for my sons first birthday. Back in August 2009. Such a dinky thing then, you wouldn't beleive that O-Man is the same child!! ~He's huge now!! My little pud. 


I think the next cake i did was for my dads birthday. i made a record player and on the record it had his own spoof label "Russ Records" He seemed to like it so i guess thats all that matters :)


The latest cake i did was for a friends little girl's 2nd birthday. Took me ages. Loved doing it though, all spotty and glittery!! And with a little bear on top, too cute :) 


I have done many more inbetween. Cakes, Treats and all things sweet. You name it, i'll have a go. Love experimenting. Im like a female version of Heston Blummenthal. Well. Sort of. 



The latest cake! :) 

If you ever need a cake, let me know. I'll be more than happy to make one. Any kind of cake. Birthday, christmas, fruit loaves. Literally anything!! Write a Comment!! :)

What fun at the hospital!

Well. As the title says!

Of course it would happen on a weekend, when we have no buses after half past 6/7pm.

Poor little guy. he couldnt help it. He'd had a cold the last few days. got up saturday morning with a really high temp, Calpol and nurofen wernt helping :( And he was screaming and moaning on and off. Not like him at all. We knew he was ill, he was refusing biscuits!

Temp went up to 39.4 at its highest! Cue me panicking and ringing round trying to get a lift to A&E. Tried Daddy L's cousin, Was busy, Mum isnt driving at the moment, tried my dad, his car wouldnt start....

Rang mum again and we ended up getting the bus! I had earlier phoned the out of hours service but they wanted me to walk for an hour, in the boiling sun, to the walk in centre, with 3 kids and one of which has a temperature, yeah not happening!

Anyway after the rather short journey to the hosp we wait 3 hours for him to be diagnosed with a viral throat and ear infection... Poor little O-Man :(

Seems much better now though, although still has a cough and a bit of his rash :(

Get well soon little guy <3 xxx

A Day At The Beach :)

Well. Yesterday we went to the beach. On the bus. With a double buggy and a single buggy. Missions!




We had to go into town anyway for various reasons. So while we were there we decided to go to the beach, O-Man was a bit young last time we went, and was a bit scared. No stopping him this time though! Was off like a shot. As was Madam. They loved it, was beautiful weather for it too luckily. I sat on the prom feeding Baby A, while Daddy L was off playing with the other two. 


DADDY L AND MADAM




Wasn't too busy, had a whole section of the beach to ourselves, which was nice. Had a carousel behind us so had some lovely music to get stuck in our heads, yay! 




Took our own sandwiches, yet still ended up getting the O-Man and Madam a cake from Bakers Oven while we were there. The things we do for kids hey! Had a nice walk along to the place where we sat down. Nice weather and my family = PERFECT!!!




Went down to mother in laws after, she doesn't see the kids very often so thought it would be nice for her. O-Man, Madam and Baby A spent the evening playing with Auntie E. She loves it and look lots of pictures, will try and get hold of some soon!! 


O-Man!!!

Our photo shoot

Well. what an experience, expensive but so worth it. 


I realise all these blogs today may bore you, but to be perfectly honest, i don't care :P 




I was recently at Mothercare with a friend, and walked past the PIXIFOTO booth. I saw an offer for a sitting and a complimentary photo for £9.99. I was enticed in. The deed was done. I booked the shoot for the following monday, rang Daddy L and warned him not to make any plans. Come monday, he is in a foul mood because, and i quote "i dont like having my picture taken". Yet when we left, said he wished he had had more photos taken as we came away with some really beautiful shots having been taken. Ha! Teach him to listen to me wont it!!




We arrived there 10 minutes early, went to the booth, cue a very stuck up assistant saying oh your early your early. Well yes love, but that is by no means any excuse for you to keep us waiting for 45 bloody minutes!! Was not impressed with that. Anyway, aside from that, the experience was lovely, the other assistant that was taking our pictures was actually a lot nicer than the first one we dealt with, and put us completley at ease. 


O-Man however was having none of it, at all. Hated it. Screamed everytime we tried to put him down. So most of the pictures that got taken, are of me and the girls. Oh well, I loved it and so did they. The boys loss!!





They cost a lot of money but really are worth it. Its not something we are going to do every year is it? Although i would if i could! Now to finish paying for them and finally get them back!!


Mummy B's Profile

Well here i am. Me. Mummy B. Mummy to three beautiful children. 




How time flies. This time 5 years ago i was a careless teenager plodding through high school. Being bullied something rotten. Not wanting to go to school anymore. Luckily i stayed and came away with my GCSE's. I have recently applied to go to college. Now that we aren't having anymore children, i feel it is time for "me". Just me. Obviously they will and always have taken priority. Over anyone and anything. Have tried applying for jobs. No such luck so far. 




I like nothing more than to spend my days playing games and things with my babies and Daddy L. If i get time (and orders!) i love to make and decorate cakes for those that need them. I have made O-Mans and Madam's First birthday cakes so far, plus my dad's birthday cake, and a lot more. A few i forgot to take pictures of to document. But there we go, if people want the cake, they just gonna have ta trust me!!!! :)







Three of my favourite cakes that i have made, so far at least. I made a record player one for my dad, complete with his own record label on the disc. (He doesnt have his own record label of course, it was a spoof.) 

Thats a brief introduction to me. and my babies, and my hobbies.

Daddy L!!!

Well well well. Where to start on Daddy L?? 


He is the most amazing man ever. I love him so much. He is devoted to me (i think!!!!!) and our babies. As well as being an amazing fiance he is an amazing daddy to our kids.


I met him on the internet back in june 2006. Now here we are 5 years and 3 kids later... the rest is history as they say!


He likes nothing more than to relax on one of the consoles, be it the PS3 or the XBOX 360. At the moment i think the PS3 is taking preference over the others. The game he seems to play at the moment seems to be Final Fantasy XIII Or BIOSHOCK 2. 


What he sees in the game i don't know. Not my cup of tea at all. But there we go, each to their own. 

Now ever since i met him i have known he has a bit of a soft spot for cars. 
I think the one we've decided on when we win the lottery is the AUDI R8.


So thats Daddy L. The love of my life, my soulmate, my world.


Baby A's Profile

Hmm, What to say about a 16 week old baby.

She was very much a surprise, with me being 24/25 weeks when i found out i was pregnant with her. She's a complete boob monster, will not entertain the idea of a bottle.Which in some ways means i'm obviously providing her with everything she needs, and getting a lot more cuddles. But in others it is such a drain. It means that no-one else can feed her. It is purely me she relies on. Which i do love.

She wont have a dummy either (tips appreciated on how to get her to take one!!).

She likes to sit and bounce in her bouncy chair 


We bought it off of a lady on facebook, for £15. Best £15 i ever spent, along with the £10 we spent on her swing.

i am going to start weaning her in a couple of weeks, as she doesn't seem like she is ready at the moment. I do like all the cuddles though. 

I wanted to get her one of these, well i wanted to get one for Madam too, but never had the money. They look amazing and have great reviews, but are so expensive. And as a family of 5 i just can't justify spending nearly £100 on it.



A brief into to Madam... Anything else you need to know, well, i cant think of anything else.

Madam's Profile

Now it's time for Madams turn, a little page all about her! I'm sure if she really knew what was going on she'd love it!


How to describe Madam? Well, shes a loving, funny little girl, with blonde curly hair at the back. On the downside she winges, wines, hits, bites, scratches and any other bullying thing you can think of. Would i change her? No. Not for the largest amount of money on earth. 


She is and always will be my little girl, as will her sister, Baby A, and her brother, O-Man. 


Her favourite television programmes include:

She'll quite happily sit and watch it for ages, also teletubbies, which i despise, in the strongest sense of the word.
She loves this movie, as do her brother and i.

She loves her juice and her biscuits, her and her brother have long been known as "Cookie Monsters" or " Biscuit Monsters"

Think this has got to be another one of her favourites. When she was watching this, it was the quietest i've seen her for a long time.

She has 6 teeth, with numbers 7, 8, 9 and 10 all currently cutting through (17/04/11). They are all her molars coming through at the same time poor girl.

So there we go, a brief intro to Madam. My little lady.

O man's Profile

This post, will hopefully, be predominantly about O Man. 


He is such a little boy, tantrums, toys, cars and trucks, He loves them all. He, like the majority of us, has his off days. His favourite characters would have to be 

Lightning McQueen, the worlds fastest race car. 

And of course, who could forget
Buzz and Woody!! Not one little boy that i know, doesn't like Buzz and Woody. 

Those three characters are of course from films, his favourite television programmes are Waybuloo and Mister Maker. Thank god. I actually cannot stand ITNG, or other ones like that. He likes Big Cook Little Cook too, he trys to copy the dances, and does his own version. Actually very sweet.
He loves his little sisters, although at the moment, even if we say gently, he tends to hit them. Which he does in the cheekiest way possible.

He loves the great outdoors, especially in weather like this, so sunny and warm. Although living where we do, they have just cancelled our buses on a sunday and evenings, which means we are very limited in what we do.
We are waiting to hear back about some funding for nursery.

Him and his two sisters.. the picture of innocence. Ha! yeah right!!



My First Post!

Well, here we are. Thanks to the lovely Little Green Footsteps for showing me how to get started, i have such a simple mind :)
Please do forgive me for any spelling mistakes.... trying to type and feeding a baby = not easy!!
Ok, so right, here is a brief background to my family :)
We have O-Man, who is 2 and a half. Born on 09/08/08.
Next up is Madam, who is 16 months. Born 18/12/2009.
Our final baby is Baby A, who is 4 months. Born on 26/12/2010 (female). Yes yes i know that there all very close together, i get that all the time, but to be honest i wouldn't have it any other way. I grow as they grow, it's amazing. There close in age and hopefully will be close as brother and sisters as they grow up.

Now for us adults, i say it in the loosest way possible, having 3 babies makes for a very childish household :)
First is Daddy L. Daddy L is the love of my life. I cannot possibly imagine life without him. He gave me my three gorgeous babies and i am forever greatful to him for that exact reason. He is 29 (nearly 30, although im not sure he'll appreciate me telling you all that.) He likes all things computer-y and loves his games console. I was lucky enough to win £500 at bingo (none of which i have left, so easy to spend it) and bought him a PS3 for christmas, i am now however starting to wonder why..
Now is me. Mummy B. Im 20, nearly 21, still greatly denying the fact im getting older, as a relative of Daddy L's once said, im "twenteen" :) I live for my family, they are my world. I love making/decorating cakes, my mum says i get it from my grandad, who sadly died when i was 2. I love anything crafty really, although do sometimes find it hard to concentrate and apply myself to something for long enough. But heyho! Life goes on!

So thats us, a family of 5. The youngest member, Baby A, was a big surprise, i was already 6 months pregnant when we found out i was having her. Cue lots of blood tests and things. Still, made the pregnancy shorter i suppose. At least thats something. I found with the first two, the last 5/6 weeks of the 40 made it drag. The novelty had worn off. But i love being pregnant none-the-less. Its such a wonderful feeling that you, and only you, are providing this little person with everything it needs to make its grand entrance into this sometimes harsh world. Knowing that its just you and the baby for 9 long months, having to share it with no-one. Lush.



Picture one, is Madam's first birthday cake, all handmade by my own fair hands :)
Picture two, is a friends cake i made as a surprise, she recently had her second baby and i thought it would be a nice treat for her!
Picture three, is my rendition of Lorraine Pascale's "I cant't believe you made that cake" Yummy and very chocolatey.
Picture four, is myself and Baby A. My favourite picture.
