B is for.....

Back again, for the letter B.....

B

Babies
Have 3 of them and am waiting for #4 to eventuate and then I am done :D I never thought I would love being a mum as much as I do but it has more to do with my babies than with me, they are so much fun, hard work for sure but fun all the same! I don't know what I will do with myself after my last one is no longer a baby, by that time (As long as my timeline goes according to plan) my eldest baby will be 12 and my youngest 3, scary stuff! I don't know if the thought of Jessie become a teenager scares me more or the thought of another year or two of sleep deprivation! LOL

Bananas
My favourite fruit :D It's funny, when my allergy was first diagnosed Dr Somerville warned me I might have a cross reaction to a few different fruit and veggies, didn't mind about most of them but I wasn't ahppy to hear about bananas being one! Luckily I haven't shown any reactions o anything else so fingers crossed I can always have a bananaful life :P

Boys
If I never thought I would have children I really didn't imagine having boys! LOL After years of hearing about "the curse" in mum's family and how much girls are good and boys are bad it was a huge shock to actually have a boy in my arms the day Hamish was born! He has been hard work but huge rewards and as long as life works out perfect hopefully the next baby is another boy, maybe a little less work though ;)

Breastfeeding
When Makenzie was first born (I think she was about 3 or so months old) I worked out I had breast fed 3 children for 3 years and 3 months so far... well I have just worked it out and I have currently been feeding for 4 years and 2 months!!! I am happy for every day I get to feed, it has been hard work at times, especially with Hamish, but I am so proud that I could put everything else aside for my children for the first years of their lives :D Hamish was a tough one to feed, he was tongue tied and had cronic reflux so it was tough to keep going knowing that there was a chance (No matter how slim) if I gave him formula he would get better but it is the one thing I can do for my children that no one else can, the one act of love that can't be replaced by a bottle so I am glad I did fight through all the hard times with him, even with a low supply, so he had the best start to life. I am waiting to see how long Makenzie feeds for because I get a funny feeling she is going to give Hamish's (Who fed for 21 months) record a run for it's money! LOL I am hoping to get to 2 with her and anything after that is a bonus.

HHMMM, think that is all for B....
