My Boys

Kerry came over this week with my beautiful grandson for a visit.....God he is such a beautiful little boy...

That's a proud and deeply in love Nana talking but truly he is just  beautiful....

 

My job is to burp Jaxon after Kerry feeds him.....to everyone else I am burping him but to me I am cuddling my baby boy....

 

This was snuggle Nana time then Kerry started to talk to Jaxon and WOW look at that little face light up..

 

The LM loves to take "selfies"...I have just learnt to grin and take it.It makes him happy so I am happy....

This is the LM's adorable face.....he makes this makes this face and flutters his eyes and then he tells you he is adorable....Yeah when you are sleeping kid.......

Have a great weekend...

Hello

Hello

Gee it feels like ages since I have been here.

Heaps has happened but nothing has happened ....Sounds weird but that's how it feels to me.

After Kev's birthday I started going downhill pretty fast....Just felt drained tired sick and just plain crap.

I went and saw my local Doctor and long story short it was arranged that I would go into hospital on the following Tuesday for a "Blood Transfusion" ....I was very anemic and my Dr said an iron infusion would not be any good this time.....

I started to get worried as we were going to have 20 people over on the Saturday night to celebrate Kerry's 30th Birthday but thought it will be OK I am going into hospital in a few days no problems just hang in there....

Invites  all sent....
Cake was  bought and picked up...
A beautiful large leg of pork was waiting in the fridge to be BBQ to perfection by Kev...
Balloons (shh don't tell Kerry) were ordered and to be picked up Saturday after soccer.....
 Grocery list wrote out ready to be bought ....

Then BAMM

Call the Ambulance ....

I went down hill very fast...it was 4.30 in the morning I couldn't breathe and thought "OK well this is it'.. this time  I was calmer and just thought OK if it's my time I'm ready I am sick of being sick all the time..... See you....

In emergency I was calm....oxygen mask on helped to calm me down a bit... they did some tests...and some xrays ...more tests. No heart attack (thank god ) but they were concerned how low my blood count was. So they decided to do my blood transfusion there and then now today no wait...

So party was called off. Blood checked and at  4.00pm the transfusion started .This went for around 8-9 hours because of the heart problems of the past they did it slow and had to keep monitoring me.

I woke on Sunday morning Mothers day feeling like a truck had ran over me. They wanted me to stay longer but I wanted to go home and sleep and sleep and sleep...So off I went. It was the craziest weekend of my life so surreal.....

Being mothers day Kerry  Manny and Jaxon came over then Ashley came so it was nice to see the kids but then I slept the rest of the day woke for awhile then slept the night .....

The LM gave me my mothers day  present earlier in the week.He had a Mother's day stall at school and couldn't wait to give it to me....

Really cute as I have just started drinking tea ......LM was so pleased with this made me smile.

So I am back.....

I have been very nauseous since but today I am feeling good for a change.
And also I changed my dressings and OMG I have never seen my wounds  looking as great as they are so this may have worked fingers crossed.

Hey forget the fingers crossed I am crossing any and everything I can I want to be bandaged free ASAP.....

Good to be back and Happy Belated Mothers Day to everyone.

Love you Mum xxx

Happy Birthday to my best friend.

                                                 Today is my best friends birthday.

                                            They are being a bit shy at the moment.

                              From the moment we met I knew we would be friends forever.

                            Happy Birthday Kevin ....I hope you have a wonderful  day.

Hopefully it will be still be beautiful weather next  weekend for you to do your Birthday present from LM and myself.

We know of Kevin's love for flying ....(he has his student licence and has done around 30hours in the air but had to stop due to commitments )

The LM and I bought him a GLIDER EXPERIENCE where he goes up in the glider and then takes the controls and then the instructor lands. Well that's what I think happens .ha ha aah

When we gave it to him he was really excited and said it was something he wanted to do.... so fingers crossed for a great day...

                      This would have to be my favourite photo of Kevin when he was little. I just love the curly blond hair. Poor Teddy looks like he has seen better days.....

             Out and about with his dad when Kevin was around 3 or 4 and they were still in England...

 

Check out my Kevin-no goatee or moustache.....

                                                   Ahh that's a bit better.So handsome isn't he.....

                                                                       My big fisherman.....

 

                        This plane was a joy flight for Kev that we got him for Christmas one year....
                                                      I just love the hat and googles....

                                             So Happy Birthday to my Best friend.

                     I love you today ,yesterday and will love you even more tomorrow........

                                    Happy 49th Birthday Kevin......you don't look a day older  xxx

My baby is now 30...

I can't believe it .My little girl is now a woman of 30.

30 can you believe it ......I am having a hard time coming to terms with this .....

Where has the time gone.

WARNING LONG PHOTO POST
........May cause crying (nana)

                                                        My beautiful newborn baby girl.

                                                          Yeah she was a Vegemite kid...

Her best friend Bear......We still have Bear I am going to give him to Jaxon when he is older.

 

Kerry's Christening. And who is that with the wild red hair ....Gee time does fly by too fast.

                My little tomboy going fishing and wearing a  Rabbitoh  jumper. Always a fan.

                   This is one of Nana's favourite photos...Kerry has always loved animals of any kind.

A little flower girl for my sister.The little pageboy on the left is the LM's big brother Chris.Who would of thought that the little boy would turn out to be over 6 foot.

        Gee she turned out so beautiful.  At first I didn't like the tattoo but now I don't even notice it.

 So thanks for strolling down memory lane with me ......I can wipe away my tears now.
I am just so happy that my baby has grown into a beautiful woman on the inside and on the outside and that she is now a new mother .She has made me very  very  proud and I love her heaps.

Wow...... time has gone by just so fast I dare not blink any more.

New Shoes

I am a big fan of  Osh Kosh shoes. The LM has been wearing them since he could walk.

He has never worn out a pair his feet have just grown out .

Kerry keeps saying to get him a pair of "Vans"  first of all I never knew what she was talking about and secondly I have never seen a pair.

Well it was time for a new pair of shoes so I got him a pair of black Vans. I gotta say he looks really cute (that's probably not the word I should call him now that he is "5")....

So there you go  no more Osh Kosh  we are Vans people now.Lets hope that for $60 a pair they last like the others did my guess is that they will be fine and that he will just outgrow these before he has a chance to out wear them..

Ouch

I had a lovely visit from Kerry and Jaxon this week and while  I was smothering him in kisses I noticed this on his forehead.

                                                               HIS FIRST BUMP......

                                              Poor bub.....Kerry said it happened at home.
Oh well Kerry this is the first of many...and being a boy there will be heaps.

Hey did I just say that?

Why because he is a boy will there be more than a girl.......

What crap......

Kerry for a while there you seemed to have a bandage on your knees and legs all the time.

So I guess what I should be saying is (get ready for some motherly advice coming up ) Be ready cause it's going to happen and happen often and also happen when you don't want it to happen.

love you

Our family's new Addition

Our family just got bigger today...

What you say ????

I said our family just got bigger today!!!

Well let me explain.......

 

Isn't she beautiful.....

 

                                          Ashley and Mel picked up their new dog....
                                                        Welcome to the family Kyla .....

                                                          She is seven weeks old today....

                                           Just look how sweet she looks. I am in love...

The LM was a bit shy of her but I think that will change. He hasn't had to deal with puppies much but he  better get used to them cause I am puppy sick and I want a puppy now

Hello Anyone there?

Sydney Saturday 21st 1.00pm

 

Well I hope I still have some people who still pop in to see what is happening in my world.

 

Well I have kinda  been losing it. Well not losing it as such but just angry and pissed off at how my life is going.

It seems that one day it is good and I feel top of the world next I am two steps backwards crying into a box of tissues ranting like a banshee over small things.

I often joke about the pain killers I am on .....but let me tell you I think they are killing me. The same with the heart pills and others I need to get off this cycle....

 

I need to wake up and be happy..... just be happy is that too hard....

Got blood results back I am extremely anaemic. No news there  My Doctor said no iron infusions this time  I need a full blood transfusion.....GREAT....

 

Then to top it off my kidneys appear to be not working properly...Like come on do I not have enough on my plate?  What have I done to have all this happen to me.

I changed my wounds on my legs  last night and you can now see a "tendon"coming through....Nothing they can do just look after it.Yeah well your not the one doing the looking after are you?

People have good intentions when they say what they need to. Some times I think they just say things to make them feel better. Remember what you say can hurt .Mum and Kev are good they know when to try to comfort me or when to leave me alone.

So I am sick of all the crap. I have said it before but this time I am taking charge.

I AM going to wake up happy and not let things get me down.

I am going to some how change my medications.I know I am sick but from now on I am going to try and deal with it in a different light.

I will take all comments about my sickness  and be gracious with them.I will smile when spoken to and mean it..

                                                                   Gold Coast Airport 2.20pm.
                             I am going to use this break at my mums to come back fresh and happy.

 

So now the three of us are getting off the plane all of us have different thoughts running through their head.The LM will be thinking he can't wait to see Nana and Pop and know he is going to be spoilt.Kev is thinking yeah no phone no work where is a beer.

And me well I am thinking "god please let everything be alright so I can spend the rest of my life with them.They may have faults but I love and need them.....'

 

I think God was listening.....
