October Bits & Pieces


A round up of the month that my baby Louis turned 1 year old! 

Mummy and Louis time up at Oma and Opa's farm

 
 
I had my first Dr's visit and I could hear bubba's heartbeat.  Best sound in the world! 
 
Louis loves New McDonalds Farm and all of the animals in it.  Such a fun show. 



Louis had his first swimming lesson and daycare visit...

We had a 1st birthday party at Lilydale Lake:


And received lots of fun gifts - this one made him bulk up super fast...haha. I swear I felt little baby flutters today (at 12w2d p/g) and I'm so super emotional.  I can cry over anything.  My little boy is turning 1 tomorrow and I'm growing another beautiful baby to grow our family.  So thankful for every moment. 


On Louis's 1st Birthday he snoozed with his Dad!  Being 1 is busy work!

His 1 year old stats are: Weight 9.4 kg and 73.5cm long. 


We had my 12 week ultrasound and saw our beautiful little healthy baby.  Michael came as well and Louis looked at the screen and said - bubba.  My placenta is at the back again so that explains feeling little movements nice and early.  The best!

More sleep.  Love how he sleeps with his little bum up in the air...

 
On the 14th Louis came down with Croup.  Which I had no idea about.  Of course Michael was away so I had to take him to the hospital late at night.  He was admitted and the gave him prednisilone and he started to improve really quickly.  Thank goodness.  We were able to come home at around 3am.  It was such a scare.  We just napped and snoozed through the next day to catch up on rest. 

 
Having some fun in the sun in the backyard.  A whole summer to look forward too now.  My belly is starting to grow and I'm looking forward to finishing up work at the end of the year.  I love being pregnant...such a beautiful feeling. 


 

More playtime...and today was the day I stopped breastfeeding.  He was ready to wean, especially with me being pregnant.  So proud of our journey throughout the first year.  I'm hoping now that I'm in 2nd trimester and stopping feeding that my energy will pick up a little. 




Just like Dad holding onto the remotes!  And laying down in the afternoon after a hard days work...



1st tooth poking through...just.


Someone couldn't wait to get into the sushi when we got home from the shops.  I'll admit it's pretty tasty! 


Louis had a sleepover at Nanna's while we went to my good friend Erica's birthday celebration.  He was such a good boy. 


We had a lovely night out but wow I missed my boy...


Big cuddles picking him up the next day. 


Onto November...
