Spongebob OBSESSED


For a good 6 months or more in 2014-2015 Gavin was obsessed with Spongebob. These were some of the projects we did together. These puppets were made by Moga and Mommy. Gavin was thrilled with them and did not want to share with Isla. I made an extra Patrick to avoid the drama, it worked, momentarily!  They lasted a few days and then were destroyed by the girl....Gavin to say you angry was an understatement! 

Our next Spongebob project was Gavin dictating to me what everyones houses looked like, what colours they were and how to paint them. First we made them from clay, the drying process was tedious, as well kids have zero patience. The painting was fun and even better was watching Gavin arrange the houses in the order that they are in the show. I officially think he watches too much Spongebob!!

LONG LIVE THE PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA!

Then there were FIVE


Finally!!! After 9 long months our third baby and second girl has arrived. Perfection! She is absolutely perfect! There is no better feeling than holding your baby for the very first time.

This labour and delivery was one for the books. This morning I started having cramping, but not like labour pains. They were timed and when I phoned the midwife she told me I wasn't in labour. So I spent the day in bed, napping on and off, Anthony went to work and I was somewhat ok with it. The pain increased and around 5pm I decided I should go in. I called the midwife and she directed me to head in. THANK GOD for my good friend Christina who came and got me, called in sick to work and brought me to the hospital. When I called Anthony to tell me he gave me a little attitude and said he would meet me at the hospital (he was convinced it was a false alarm) 

When Christina picked me up my "contractions" were 5 minutes apart and I was saying "if they send me home I'm going to be so mad!" I grabbed blankets invade I delivered in the car!
By the time we were leaving Puce they were 3 minutes apart and when we were getting to the exit off EC Row to Walker road they were now 1 minute apart. 

Anthony arrived at the hospital at the same time we did and we headed upstairs to where Andrea Cassidy (my midwife) was waiting for us. She checked me and I was 8-9cm!!!! I was in shock! WHAT!!!! They quickly wheeled me to the delivery room where the fun began! We arrived at the hospital at 615pm and by 710pm my sweet girl was here! 

We were in the hospital for 2 nights because Audrey was Jaundice. We were so relieved to finally get to go home!
