Zack's First Bath

Not a fan of the bath!

Easter Weekend

Zack's first easter egg from Easter Bunny

Easter morning began with an early egg hunt outside in the freezing cold

Over the weekend the boys bought new toys with their money and spent hours playing and fighting

the night before easter the boys sat on the deck like old men and ate their favourite food. sausages on a stick

Well I must say that I have been a little slack with photos since I got home from hospital, but blogging has been the last thing on my mind. Zack's birth went really well despite it taking an hour for them to put in my Spinal. It was definately one of the most painful hours of my life as they pushed that large needle in and out of my back trying to find the right spot.( leaving me with some rather impressive brusing on my back, and now on going back pain), but other then that all went so smoothly. I had no reaction to the spinal this time which was my biggest fear going in.

A few hours after he was born auntie Erin brought the boys in to see him. They were very excited ( especially Daniel). Infact they were so excited that they made Matt bring them back in that evening. When they came back in the evening they had bought Zack his own Loopey Dog. Now for those not knowing what a Loopey dog is...Loopey is the name Ethan gave to a stuffed Dog when he was 4 and it has become his best friend coming everywhere we go. Daniel last year decided he wanted a dog just like Loopey and we happen to find a baby size Loopey for him and even Uncle Andrew has a Loopey that the boys gave him ( only he named his dog smooch). So it was only fair in the boys eyes that Zack get his own Loopey too!

Anyway after 4 1/2 days I was so over hospital and ready to come home. As soon as I got home I felt SO much better. My back isnt nearly as sore sleeping in my own bed as it was on those horrible hospital beds, and it is so nice not having midwives coming in constantly checking on everything. We have even ventured out a couple of times to do a little pre-easter shopping. Thankfully Zack seems to be sleeping really well and only is waking once during the night. So far he is a really easy baby, and certainly the best feeder out of all of them. He attaches really well which has meant minimal damage this time. However with my milk still yet to settle I am very sore at the moment, hoping it will change soon.

Sports Carnival

I am a couple of weeks late with this post, but it is a very important one! The boys had their school running carnival a couple of weeks ago and got their first ever ribbons. amongst the "participation" ribbons Ethan got a 2nd and Daniel got a 3rd place. They have been so excited about them and even asked if I would put them on the blog! I didnt get any photos at the carnival as I was having a bad pregnant day and didnt end up going so we took some pics when we got home.. They were very proud of their achievements!
