From Mummy

Well Billy you have been a very bad boy lately. I have a giant size blister on my boobie and you have stopped sleeping for 4 hours at night and cut it down to 3 and sometimes even 2.5hrs!!! What is going on?

I can't get cross at you though, you look so adorable and I just love to feed you. Even still I try to express when I can so even daddy can have a go at feeding you when he is home from work. The first attempt was a failure and only mummy could give you the bottle but the next two attempts we started when I was nearby and you took the bottle and drank all the milk so fast!

I am looking at you now dressed in your beautiful new clothes (thanks LJ) that arrived in the mail last night. So adorable. Who would have thought I would have a kid decked out in pumpkin patch heh!

Well we are off to get a cup of coffee at the shopping centre on the other side of town so it will be a 30min drive. I am really looking forward to getting out and catching up with some friends. Good thing you love the car heh Billy.

Lots of love

A very busy second week....

We have had a very busy second week. Daddy has been away working most of the time and my Nan and Pop went away in their car. Mum said they had to go back to their home.

I have got lots of things to try out and mum loves putting me in new places and seeing how I like it. I do like to lay on my tummy and roll over. I havén't rolled over on my own yet but mummy is helping me - she said it is so I won't get a fright when I do it myself!
I am crawling...well I am trying to copy LJ my cuz. My bum goes up in the air and I wiggle forward. But after 10mins I get cranky and mum says we can try again later. LJ is 3 months older than me.

I have also been in my new pram. It was pretty exciting for both mummy and I. She got to see how it works and I got to relax and go to sleep with my Elly blanket. It is a cute blue blankie with an elephant on the end. I like to cuddle it but mum says I can't sleep with it. Well when I am in the pram I do....I am a naughty boy :)


Mum said I got a new blanket this week, she said I had to write a thankyou card because it was from the Premier...I don't know who that is but she runs with my mum.


Aunty Rosie came and gave me a big snake!! Her friend Louise gave me a really cool singlet....mum put it on last night and I thought there was going to be a big party.........


but no one came except my mum...............


Anyhow it was good when my daddy came home from work on Saturday. He took mummy and I to a flash restaurant and then we went to the Gold Coast to see Beautiful Aunty Ret and Grandpa Pete on the Sunday. I like Grandpa Petes belly.


Wonder what we are going to do for my third week????

A Mothers Letter to Her Son

Dearest Billy,

You are truly a gift from God delivered to me by an Angel (Grandma Gemma).

The love I have for you bursts in my heart when I gaze at your sleeping face or when you look at me with those big blue eyes and yes even when you are crying and I am soothing you, I feel the love that allows me to do that.

Just over two weeks ago you burst into the world and totally disrupted our life. We now sleep when we can, the house is not always perfect and dinner is not always a relaxed affair. Nonetheless we bloat with pride when someone in the shops comments on how good you are, or how beautiful you look. Your dad laughs for long times when he tells people how you love to wee on your mum in the bath. Dad also loves waking you up in the morning for a cuddle before he goes to work. It might take him twice as long to change your nappy or get you dressed but he takes such great care and is so gentle and loving that it makes us all smile. When he frets when you cry, I know that you are blessed to have such a loving family that will always be there for you and love you unconditionally. You are our Billy.

Already you have grown another 2cm and your head has gone from 36cm to 39cm. You now weigh 4.2kg and even your hair seems to be growing. It is an exciting time for us all and whilst we can't wait for you to be talking and crawling and holding our hands, the times now when you curl up like a frog and suck your fingers and lay contented on dad's tummy with your bottom in the air are all just so precious.

Don't grow up too fast Billy.

I love you completely

Bathtime

I just love my baths. Mum or Dad usually wash me in the big laundry tub but this morning I managed to wet my mums bed when she was cuddling me so I got thrown into the bathroom sink. I just love getting wet with warm water and I don't really care where it is.....but can someone stick my feet back in?????

mmmmmm I think I'll pick that one mum!!!!!!!!

WELCOME TO BILLY BELLENGER

9 days old today.

It has been a tough 9 days too!

First of all I got squeezed out of mummy and finally was able to see what daddy and mummy looked like. My grandma was there too and gave me lots of cuddles. I liked the warm towel they wrapped me in and I loved laying on my mummy. She even gave me some food!!! I think I am going to like my mummy and daddy lots and lots.

We spent 5 days in the cold hospital. Mummy kept putting me into big jumpsuits to keep me warm. I especially loved the warm baths she gave me. I relaxed and put my legs out as long as they would go. I didn't like getting out of the bath though...it was cold again. A couple of times I did a poo as soon as I got out so I had to go back in. Mum got smart though and worked it out so now I have my bath AFTER my dirty nappies.

I was 4 days old when my daddy carried me home - this photo is my first ride in the car. It was pretty cool!! My sister sat beside me and held my hand the whole way. I love Jordie.

We have been very busy my mummy and I. We have been to the shops, gone and bought a new car (which mummy calls the tank) and played lots with my big brother Sam. Then Sam had to go to his home with his daddy and we went to the big noisy airport. He was very sad but mummy said we will see him soon.

My brother Sam taught me how to lay on my tummy and kept showing me how to roll over. I can't do it yet but I am going to practice for when I next see him. I love being on my tummy and looking at all the colourful rugs my Nan made for me. This one is my favourite but mummy said I had to lay on my back so she could take a photo. I still tried to look at all the pretty pictures of the Bilby's deliverying me to mum and dad.

Oh and guess what...I have a belly button now. Mummy was making sure I was okay and giving me lots of cuddles but Daddy said "now he's perfect".

Daddy has gone bush in his big truck today but he will be back in a few days. I will miss our morning cuddles. Daddy loves to put me on his tummy in the night/ morning after mummy has fed me and we just have time together quietly. It is very nice.

I have been awake all day today with only two little naps so mummy said I have to go to sleep now.

Nite Nite.

ps.....GO BRONCOS!!!

29 Weeks Old

Time is really flying. Mum seems to be cussing a lot these days. I can't help it - I like to summersault around here and see what my arms and legs can find by striking out.

Daddy tries to put his hand on mums belly. I can feel his big warm hands and it is very soothing. Makes me sleepy but every now and then I love to reach out and kick or high-5 him so he knows I am here.

Mum and Dad went to the hospital. They told me that was where I was going to meet them for the first time in a few months. That will be so cool. I'm under strict instructions

Nothing very exciting happening in here at the moment, love the porridge mum keeps eating and thankfully she has stopped drinking all that OJ. Man it was giving me the hiccups!!
