Hello out there, can anybody hear me?!
Yep, I am well and truely alive just fell off the radar for a bit!
Life with 3 kids under 2 and a bit is certainly busy, to say the least and I am finding it hard these days to find the time to do anything, even shower and some mornings, if I have to be somewhere early, my mother dearest will come over for 15mins so I can at least shower and feel half decent.
The twins are pretty good babies and growing so rapidly, and so they should too, all they want to do is feed, especially Max!!
He has inherited the name Maximus Figitus , as he does just that, figits, all day , and as soon as his little eyes open , instantly hungry. Other Mums and Midwives have said that its just boys , but I am yet to really believe that ,as I just think its his wee little personality, he has been like that since he was in my tummy, always the mover and shaker!
All in all, we are very lucky as they are both dear little people.
I am enjoying having a full weekend as a family at the moment, as I have always worked Saturdays and returned to work on Sats when Stella was 7 weeks old, so its great to be able to spend 2 days in a row with Noel and now our kids.
Saturday night we went to a friends 30th party, Stella had a sleep over at my parents and we had a great social night out.
Sunday morning we fed up the babies , picked up Stella and headed out to the Oakabella homesteads Annual Market day, it was a gorgeous day, and we enjoyed the family outing, but its always entertaining taking our crew out at the moment.
First Max woke and was unsettled so I put him in the front pouch, then Lacey woke and did the same so Noel carried her, then Stella wanted out of the pram, so we were left with this massive pram, EMPTY!!
Oh the joys!
Anyway, can anyone please tell me how I can create links on my page, ie: when I want you to check out other stuff on net and list the web addy, how come its not a direct link if I copy and paste the addy?
and I reaaly need to learn how to jazzy up my blog, advice anyone?
Best be off, I am dying to do some sewing but the babies are playing tag teams, but Stella is with her grandparents so its the perfect opportunity!!

They are here!!
Yep , thats right. Max Henry Morrison, was born at 8:47am on Thursday 29th April, weighing 5lb 12oz and 47cm long, and Lacey Amelia Morrison was born at 8:49am weighing 6lb 11 ozs, and 50cm long. Our precious bundles were born via Ceasarean Section as Max was footling breech ( only to discover he actually wasn't but thats another story all together) and we are very lucky they were both in perfect health and happy little bubs.
I feel great, and am pleasantly surprised (as I was crapping myself) over the C-sect, but I was up less than 4 hrs later for a shower and got dressed properly and felt sooo much better. My recovery was quick and I was independent to shower and walk around from the next morning.
They are very good babies, and love to be right next to each other, as close as can be.
Max is a little version of his Dad and actually has a bit of an "old man" look about him, still super duper cute, and Lacey is the spitting image of her sister!! So adorable!
I have mastered the twin feeding, via football hold and it is so much easier and more time efficient for me!
Last night was our first night home, and I got 5 hrs sleep in a session, how amazing! Here's hoping tonights is the same.
Well here are a few pics, and one from our session this morning with the wonderful Nicole Jupp, have mentioned her before, she is amazing, check out her website

I am off to finish a few skirts for Sundays Mothers Day market at The Old Gaol Museum, I am having a stall with my Sister from Bread and Butter Factory!!
Hope all the mothers out there have a great Mothers Day!!

Yay for Clever people
Just a quickie this morning as I am hoping it is one of the last days Stella free before the twins come, and as you can imagine, I have a hell of a lot of running around to do!!
Check out my new blog banner!! The very talented Kylie Latham, in Geraldton, created it for me, and it is perfect!! I love everything about it, colours, font , OWLS etc!!
She is also doing some business cards for me too, and I am even going to get her to design a new logo for the salon!! I am addicted!!
Bizzy Dayz has taken off, and I now sell more than I can sew, which is obviously a good thing, but for a hobby , its busy!
So a HUGE thankyou to Kylie at Personally Posh, you can find her on her Facebook page

Off to run around like a chook with my head cut off. Blood tests, CTG's, Interview with the Chamber of Commerce!! Yep, you heard me, Tresses is shortlisted for the business award so I am off for a panel interview this afternoon. Talk about putting someone into labour!!

Insomia, and for my T!
You guessed it!! Just when everyone thought I can't sleep any less than I do already, the insomnia really sets in. I usually go to bed at around 11-12ish and get up around 6ish and thats never been a problem for me, I am not the type of person, fortunately , that needs oodles of sleep but its getting ridiculous!! I was starting to lie there for hours (as I can't toss and turn anymore) and it was so uncomfortable and I was only getting a few hours sleep. Well........Now I have a solution, go to bed later!!
So now I go to bed around 2:30 ish and sleep solidly til 6! Not a hell of a lot, but enough to scrape by , and at least the sleep is unbroken! So i wil trial that for a few days. I know people say its the babies preparing me for what is to come, but it would help if I could roll over when sleeping, instead of having to wake Noel to give me a push!! yepp, sad!
What do I do til 2:30 you say? Sew of course!! A few of the night owl creations!
TGIF if you ask me! Not that the days matter to me atm, apart from Dr's appts and the salon! Gosh I miss that place and my lovely people there, but I am trying to stay away because a quick drop in becomes an hour or 2 and I know i should be doing the 100 things on my "Before the twins come list"
Stella starts swimming lessons tomorrow , which she is so excited about, and I made them on a Saturday so that Noel could take her, something special for them.
Tomorrow is also our wedding anniversary, and yes, I remembered this year and I remember its 5 years (I get in trouble all the time from DH for forgetting how long its been) and gosh its gone fast, and I still love him to bits, more everyday actually, so we are one of the lucky couples I'd say! xo
As mentioned in title, this post is for my T. When I started the blog, it was for my own sanity, as I love to talk and write, but I'm terrible at penmanship, and never did I think I would have avid readers. He informed me the other day he check 2 times for a post, and I didnt do one, then when he checked it hours later, he had missed it by 45 mins, haha he was devo!! Ohh what a sweety!! Thanks for reading precious , you are a beautiful boy, but it is a little strange you care about your boss, you know you are supposed to hate me right?!
Hope everyone had a relaxing Friday night, a few vinos or watched the footy!

Faith in Humanity
Mondayitis at its worst for some I would think, what a glorious weekend we had in Gero!!
I purhaps shouldn't have spoke to soon on Friday about looking forward to 2 days as a family and having help from Noel, because no more than 2 hrs later he came home, only to tell me he was working on Saturday! ARGHHH!! Serves me right for getting my hopes up! Can't complain really as its all money in the bank, but still it was an argh!
Needless to say the shopping needed to be done, and I was the one to do it, and as my help for the morning fell through, I was left to do it on my own. 2 weeks ago when I did the food shop it really didn't bother me, and how pathetic do you think I feel when I say "I think I need help to buy food" haha sad sad case of affairs at this househole. But in 2 weeks I rekon the babies have doubled in size and weight and I no longer can walk like a normal human being! I did it though, a trolley very full (having put it off for too long) , we now have food in our house, much to my DH delight! However it did take me nearly 2 hrs!! haha Slowly I sauntered down the isles,with Stella happily eating and drawing, and when I reached the checkout, and started to load my stuff onto the belt, a very good client and now friend who works at the supermarket came up and started loading my things for me, then she put the bags in the trolley and was even going to push it to the car!! How sweet!! I did assure her however that I could do it myself, but thankyou so much, she is such a sweety! I rekon she would have come home with me to pack it away if she could have! Then we had a mishap in the carpark, all which nearly brought a very emotional Liz to tears, pathetic I tell ya. But this is where my faith in humanity is restorted, a lovely lady driving past to exit the carpark stopped her car, in the middle of the road with traffic behind her to ask me if I needed help and ran to my aid!! Ohhhh how gorgeous! See there are still kind, helpful people out there, not ones that just stare at people and thing to themselves "Gee, she must be about to pop" or "There is one whopper baby in there"
I went out for tea on Saturday night with a dear friend who is visiting from Sydney and a group of girls, the food and company was beautiful and it was a nice way to end a ARGH day!
Sunday, Noel , my DH, went in the annual Ocean Mile Swim, to which he came in at 17th position, and first male for his age group 25-30 yo. Oh how proud was I!! Haha
He was pretty happy with his result and I was astounded really, but not surprised as he is a natural swimmer, a true fish, but had not even got in the water to swim even a single lap for over 2 months and here he was , one Sunday morning, going to swim 1600m in the open Ocean! Crazy I tell ya!! And what makes it even more disgusting for us non swimmers, is he wasn't even sore last night or today. When we got home from the beach he was in his arms , and they were purple from Lactic Acid but I gave him a rub, a little nanna nap with Stella at lunch and he was good as gold! Legend!
Saturday arvo I did take precious out the front for a few shots, he dress was just too cute and I had to capture her playfullness with a scrap bit of ribbon she found in my den! Plus the weather was amazing!!
Today has been great, Dr appt this morning, I have baked a cake and double choc muffins for the salon, and a slow cooker of Chicken casserole is now filling my house with the most amazing smell, bring on Dinner time!!
Hope your weekends were as good as mine!!

Ticking time Bomb!!
Its exactly the way I feel at the moment too!! Like I am a walking (waddling), ticking , time bomb and every twinge etc I think to myself "Is this it?!" Not because I want it over, but that would be nice, but more because I know it is very rare that twins last to the gestation, 35 weeks and 3 1/2 days, haha.
I have been feeling really good, and yes, everyone has been saying I have been doing too much but I haven't felt over done or anything but it is getting harder to sleep at night, I can hardly roll over it is that painful (my Pelvis is back to no good again and its amazing how much you use it to roll over at night, and put your undies on!!) and when you don't sleep at night, it makes for a hard day, and that is exactly what I have had today. Pretty much acheived not alot, which is a right old pain for me, I showered, hair, makeup, salon for check in, home, cooked muffins and thats it, blah. Getting off the couch is now a mission and a half, especially in a hurry when your 2 year old needs to go to the toilet, as when they need to go, they need to go!!
Not even any sewing today, I have the bug and urge but just can't do it.
Hopefully my DH will come home and give me a cuddle and a foot massage?! Someone out there give him a hint would ya?!
But TGIF! I can say that now that I am not working Saturdays atm, how nice it'll be to have 2 days together as a family!
Bring on next week I say, if I go walkabout, you know where to find me, St Johns Hospital Geraldton!!
Here's some new things I have been making, but as soon as I sew, they sell, which is the idea of course!
Skirt $15 Size 2-3
Skirt $15 Size 2-3
Wipes Pouch - $15 Fits a large nappy and wipes container for quick trips
Taggy Rug for Infant development and exploration with different textures/colours $13
Taggy Rug $13
