super shots 2009

Posted on December 31, 2009

So – it’s the end of the year.  2009 has been a bit of a topsy turvy year for us.  It began with a disappointment, and ended with a gorgeous blessing.   Everything happens for a reason, and our peaks and troughs this year have made us super strong.

I have taken it relatively easy this year with my photography – with plans to amp it up next year!  Good things are on the way for KCP!  In saying that – I have gathered together some of my most favourite images of the year, and whacked them in a slideshow…… enjoy!

Meet Milla Macey

Posted on December 28, 2009

Finally I get a chance to sit down and introduce my sweet little Milla!

After a super quick labour – two hours of pacing and four pushes later – Milla Macey ‘emerged’ on 21st December 2009 at 12:47pm – all 7lbs 12.5oz of her.  Incredibly long fingers and toes – and a healthy 51.5cm long!  It was not a quiet entry into the world – she certainly let us know she was here, and vocalised her opinion on her quick birth.  I just lay back and breathed a huge sigh of relief that it was all over!  Not a twinge of disappointment that we landed ourselves another girl – surely four girls can’t be too bad?!

She is truly a sweet little thing – sleeps really well, and is starting to be able to cope with the HUGE amount of milk I am making. I feel like I have a couple of watermelons strapped to my upper body – it is unbelievable!  Apparently people pay to have ‘knockers’ this size!  WHY WHY WHY WHY!  They are SO not practical – even less practical when they leak at inappropriate times!

Anyhow – enough yapping…. here she is…..

a quick SP..

Me in all my glory – looking awfully serious and pouty!  The pouty bit was totally not intentional – it just happened that way!  I am not enjoying my lips whilst these braces are on – I feel like a cross between a gorilla and a dodgy Julia Robertsesque lip implant!

You know – it is only 11 days to Christmas.  Hopefully it is only 7 days until I meet this babe – BUT – I am not holding my breath.  I am meant to be induced next Monday – but apparently there are 8 caesereans and two sets of twins due around the same time – so I may get bumped down the list if they run out of room.  Bugger.  Wilbur is only home for a short amount of time – I would LOVE for him to be with me.

Having said that – Mr and Mrs Braxton-Hicks have been visiting ALOT.  More than I would like.  They are quite a painful pair.  I wouldn’t be surprised if this babe decided to pop it’s head out this week.  Hopefully not – I have a ton of things on – and baby-birthing is NOT one of them!

This was the facial expression on Murph when she woke up this morning to the ‘pitty’ lights and our ‘tree’ decorations for Christmas (photos to come tomorrow of our Christmas creation!).  We have been trying to convince the girls that the Christmas fairy came through the night and assembled the decorations – but they are not so sure.  Mackenzie believes us, but Madison – hmm – not so much.  She is adamant that it was Daddy.  I said it couldn’t be Daddy, coz it was much too neat and pretty, and did she really think Daddy was capable of doing that?!  Her answer – ‘yes’.  Hmm – I don’t think so!

OKAY – so it’s not like I don’t have enough to do already – but I thought I’d join in on DPP – the December Photo Project.  Check it out over here!  As always – I am a day or so late. Thems the breaks! SOOOOO – here are days 1, 2 and 3 – all in the one post!  Yeehaa!

DPP #1 We have finally started a vegie garden.  Not sure that summer is the perfect time to get one going – but I guess it is better late than never!  Wilbur is super dooper keen for our vegies to grow – I’ll keep you posted!

DPP#2 – my cool kid giving me ‘the look’ before school  SO cool!!!!!  So cute!

DPP #3 – my little mother-girl.  She LOVES her baby.  Not sure how she is going to feel when the real deal arrives!!!!

ho ho ho

I thought I’d whip out my Christmas theme nice and early this year, since I haven’t decorated the house as yet!  This seems so much easier – I can press a button and VOILA – Merry Christmas!  This is last years Christmas theme as you can tell from the little blurb there in the top right – pretend it doesn’t say anything about 2008 – OK!

my beautiful big little girl

It is a super busy time of year for everyone right now, and amid all the craziness, I took a moment during a fabulous workshop to snap a few little gems of my biggest baby.  Madison and I CLASH and are at loggerheads more often than not at present – but oh golly – I just adore her so (even if I really want to put her i a wheelie bin every now and then!).
