Smile

 

It has been a tough week this week as nothing seemed to go right and I've had a bad back that just isn't helping but when I look at these two little boys it makes me smile.

I just wanted to share :) 

I Did It - Two Hearts For Two Babies

I finally got my tattoo I've been thinking of getting for ages, two hearts to represent my babies Ollie and Joel.

I felt quite excited but nervous on the day but here it is. One heart seems to be neater than the other which is disappointing but you can't really tell unless you see it close up, it does bother me a little as I can't erase it now but I'm thinking both children are different so maybe it's good they aren't completely the same shape heart.

It's a little fuzzy around the edges but I'm hoping that will disappear as I only had it done on Saturday so needs time to heal.

What do you think.....be honest?

Things That Make Me Smile

As last week wasn't a great week for us at all with illness I thought I would write a post about things that make me smile, here they are in pictures.

His smile makes me smile

Ollie makes me smile every day, he can be a menace and very testing with my patience at times but he's a very funny and loving little boy.

Panda in the ball pit

Ollie loves his panda and for the past week panda has had to come down stairs and sit in the ball pit every morning so I had to capture this. Panda also has to go to bed with him every night.

Bright Eyes

Joel makes me smile especially when he gazes up to me during or after a feed and has a happy little face with his bright blue eyes. He's so innocent he can't help but make me smile. 

 
When I think about my little family I have created I can't help but smile.

First Night On My Own

For the last 10 weeks since having Joel I have had my hubby around day and night. He got up with Ollie while I tended to Joel throughout the night, he has been doing most of the cooking and housework. He now has a new job and the next two weeks is away on training so it's all down to me to sort the boys, cooking and house uh oh! I've been spoilt having the help for so long.

Last night was my first night alone in probably years so you can imagine it was pretty weird.
My mum and dad helped me get both boys sorted for baths and bed so I wasnt completely on my own. Both boys were asleep by 9pm so I thought I'd get an early night but actually didn't until 11pm as those lovely neighbours of mine had their tv blaring - so inconsiderate. Anyway I was woken at 1.45pm by Joel for a feed then shortly after Ollie started crying so I went in and stroked his head and put his covers back on and then didn't hear another peep, of course Joel woke a couple more times but all in all it was a successful night. 
 


For the rest of the week I have friends popping in for lunch almost every day so I still won't be completely on my own. I thought if I didn't arrange meet ups I'd have no hair left by the end of the first week by pulling it out lol!
