So here goes…

One Billion Trillion Million, Things and why i love you!

or as much as i write down!

Sunrisesister has changed my life in many ways, including in the last 4 weeks, giving me a beautiful, perfect baby daughter. She has made me into the person that i am today, and will continue to for many years. As all couples, we have had our ups and downs, but she is always there when i need her, and i hope she always will be.

I believe that we ment to be together, to celebrate the high points and help each other when we are low. She always just knows what i need, or what i should do. I think thats why i see her as perfect in my eyes, therefor given me the perfect little daughter.

Our little girl has made me very happy to be here with her, watching her smile, cry and yawn and every day just changing this little bit. I never knew what this experience would be like, but i feel very lucky to have sunrisesister next to me, the entire way, helping me, suggesting different ways of doing things, and when i cant seem to do it right, just taking over and getting it right the first time! I have taken 100’s of photos, but will always remember the two of them together both just happy to have each other.

So, my darling, thankyou, for giving me, our wonderful daughter and letting me spent the last 4 years with you!

10 Feb 2010

Crappy pic, sorry. All my online time these days is done via my iPhone, as my desk is covered in shite inaccessible at this time.

I have been pondering on wether or not to continue my blog.. Its become difficult to post about anything personal here, as we are headed back into the Family Court next month. But you know, crafting never hurt anyone, and I love having this creative outlet.

9 Feb 2010

This is where about 99% of my energies are currently going.. feeding, sleeping, cleaning, managing the household again bit by bit, and above all, staying healthy. I do NOT want to end up back in hospital a third time!

So off I go, managing a few stitches here and there, stealing a few moments to plan winter hats, and baby cardigans, and to lament my ambitious soaker sizing during pregnancy. At 3 weeks she is in size 00 – making all but one of my soakers unwearable! Ah well, I will pass them onto smaller bubbas..

I am going to put a bag of my undyed/white wool today, ready for skeining, and ready for the dyepot. I havent been able to use my Landscape dyes for 9 months, and Kool Aid/Food Dye just isnt the same!
