a breakthrough....
So it has been just over 15 weeks since Baby H (yep, 15 weeks) graced us with his presence and I must say that all those people who told me that your second baby would be a better sleeper than the first were right. What they didn't tell me was that the second baby would hate the car and would scream like he was being murdered from the second you put him in the car seat until the time you got him out.......
Yep for the last 15 weeks every car trip has been a nightmare, Baby H has screamed blue murder for the entire time that we have spent in the car. No amounts of loud music, me singing or Master N whinging would drown him out. I knew it was bad the day I turned around to see Master N sittimg in his seat with his fingers stuck in his ears.... So I am not going to bore you the details of what we have done to try stop him from screaming nor am I going to bore you with the stories, like the day when I was driving to Mum and Dad's (2 1/2 hours away) on my own and it took me 4 1/2 hours to get there after the screaming, a number three nappy change and being projectile vomited on, no I defeinetely won't tell you about that.
I will however tell you that something has changed and he has stopped the screaming. Not sure what it was or what we did differently, if anything, but he seems to be happy in the car now so long as we are not stopped for any length of time. This does result in me driving like I am competing in the V8 Supercar Series and doing my best impersonation of Craig Lowndes so as to not be stopped at a red light!
I am feeling a less apprehensive about leaving the house now! Yep, I wouldn't leave the house unless absolutely necessary so that I didn't have to put my little Baby H through something that he quite obviously did not enjoy!
Oh and I have noticed that Master N doesn't seem to have his fingers jammed permanently in his ears during car trips now too!
All I can say is thank goodness! I was starting to get worried that I would turn into a hermit!

let the planning begin.....
I was so excited to receive all the bits and pieces for Nate's 2nd Birthday Party from the very clever Jeniene at Ciaobambino. I got Jeniene to do all the hard work last year too, you can see photos here!
So now I guess I have no excuse to pull my finger out and get cracking on the invitations - although I am cheating and making them very similar to last years but with a bit of a twist!
I think that I am going to attempt a rocket cake to fit in with the Toy Story theme. I saw one on a blog a while back but of course didn't save the link, don't you hate that!

at my house.....
At my house today we are huddled up inside hiding from the miserable rain outside. We have been so spoilt with fabulous weather for the past week or so that my little one is not happy about not being able to visit the park or be outside on his bike!
At my house today reality has hit and I am now in panic mode about the dwindling time left between now and when Baby Ryder #2 is due to arrive. So many things to fit in before he/she arrives! Eeek!
At my house today I am wondering when is the right time to introduce the Big Boy Bed for Nate. We have just managed to get him sleeping through the night and I don't know if I am ready for a new phase....
At my house today I already have dinner ready! Such an achievement for me!
At my house today Nate has decided to have a sleep, so while he is in sleepy land I am wasting time blogging, what else would one do!
To see what else is happening at other lovely people's places check out Lou's here, that is where I am off to now with a hot cuppa!

week-a-boo.....
Saturday we headed to the Farmers Market at New Farm Park, a spot of furniture shopping and we finished the day with a visit to feed the ducks and to take Nate on his first official bike ride, Buzz Lightyear helmet and all!!
Today we pottered around the house, repotted some herbs that have been neglected for way too long and am surprised that they have hung on, a trip to Bunnings (seems to be the thing to do on Sunday's), a nap this afternoon and a roast dinner!
Oh and in between there was a bit of creating, not much, but a bit!
Check out what the other lovelies have been up to here.....

I am mum to two gorgeous boys Nate & Hamish and wife to the just as gorgeous and very patient Mitch! We live in Brisbane, Queensland. I spend my days running around after my boys and playing with all things paper. I love ALL things craft and spend too much time scouring Etsy, Made It and too many blogs to list, all in the name of research - of course!!
