I'm awake!

So sorry for the delay in updating, still spend alot of my day in a tired haze, lol. But hey, my house stays fairly clean and so do I (thank goodness eh? lol) so that shows improvement for Tanaya and I. She even let me sleep for 5 hours IN A ROW last night! Whoohoo!! She is sitting beside me now cooing away. Yep we are "talking" now, started about 4 days ago and is seriously too funny (you'd swear there was real words in there) and the smiles started consistently about the same time (although we are all still arguing aver who got the first real smile, lol. Between you and me....I did. LMAO) The kids and I took her down on Monday, her 6 week mark, and got her weighed and measured. Tanaya is now a whooping 9 lbs 11 oz and 22 inches long. Such a big girl! She is almost big enough now to have officially outgrown her first clothing items, lol. What a milestone!! She still occasionally has bad "gas" days and gets a little needy, lol, but overall she is an awesome baby and very happy (I fluked out for the third time, lol) although at this exact moment she is trying to tell me to hurry the heck up as she is hungry!(Too bad her voice is so tiny, she's easy to ignore. JK!)

Jasmine is still working about 10 hours a week and having a blast helping me with Tanaya (thank god! The novelty wore off a bit for the boys...it's called Fable 2 for Xbox 360 and it seems to win out, lol!) Jasmine also scored us a wicked deal when she called me from school 2 days ago to say they were selling off their old laptops and could I bring her some money. Selfish kid...what about me?! lol So we ended up getting laptops for the computer junkies here (all but Sean) for $40 each!!! They are Apple iBooks and so far, that's all I know lol. Bro...where are you? I need help, LMAO!

Damian is till working at Esso and loving the paychecks although he is starting to get a wee bit tired of working so much (he asked me to talk to his boss and get her to understand to cut his hours a wee bit). He just bought himself an XBox 360 and some games as his first big purchase, good for him (saves me money AND I get to play it, ROFL What a good kid.) He is looking forward to his first year of "tricking", with a pile of rules though (can't let them have to much fun,heheh) and I will probably end up with a house full of boys again this weekend...seems to be a trend.

Well, she is getting ticked...

TTYL!

Tanaya Newborn Slideshow

Welcome Tanaya!!

Well we finally did it! Had our baby that is, lol. Tanaya Josephine was born Monday September 15th at 11:38 pm. She weighed 7lbs 12oz and was 20 inches. Labour was labour and she has all her fingers and toes (and they are straight so Daddy is happy, lol). Tanaya is a week old in this picture.

We got home on the Wednesday and have been trying to get into a routine ever since. Now that I have been to town way to much for kids appointments and for others to meet up and see her, I am done, lol. SO TIRED (but then isn't every "new" mom?) need sleep....flj.....OH! Sorry. drifted off there, lmao! She wakes up at night anywhere from every hour to every 4, and sleeps during the day anywhere from 2 to 4 so its coming. She is almost two weeks old now and is really a good baby. She doesn't cry just to cry and likes to stay awake and check stuff out for up to an hour at times.

The kids like her (but why wouldn't they, lol) and give her some attention before moving on each day with their lives (Jasmine does hover a bit, especially in the mornings before school just waiting for a squawk as an excuse to pick her up, lol). Tanaya doesn't keep them up much as they are now in the basement and cant hear her so they still get lots of sleep, lmao!

Sean did awesome, he came in with me and got to go through it all, hee hee hee (I can be difficult ya know ROFLMAO!) He was home with us the first week but had to go back to work this past Monday. He is adjusting so so (he seems tired...not sure why) and is wishing the weather would co-operate more as he'd like more time hunting, lol.

OK, that's all for now.....will upload some pics...hopefully now...if Tanaya doesn't wake up.
