Wow, where does time go?
Thought it was time I let you know that we are ok, that although life has been busy and a big adjustment has been going on we are still here. One day I will blog again on a regular basis but at the moment I just can't get my head around it.... you know how it is.
Neo is 8 weeks old tomorrow. It was a very testing first 5 and a half weeks before he started to settle into some kind of routine.Thankfully my Mum was here to lend a very much needed helping hand. Those first few weeks when sleep was lacking and my eyes were popping out of my head (I don't cope too well on little sleep..... who does really) I was in a daze. I also put my neck out so for the first 3 weeks I was on pain killers for that and the headaches. My Mum and hubby really did keep this family together.
Neo and I did zap off to New Zealand for 9 days which was a crazy feat with a 5 week old but something I just had to do. The photos were captured for life of Neo with his great grandmothers, he only has two left and the are both nearly 90 and 90. I just had to grab the opportunity of taking Neo to meet them. It was worth the money and slight craziness of the trip to do it. Mum flew home to NZ with me but I came back on my own. Neo was a little gem on the plane but boy was I glad to get home.Whilst in NZ I got to catch up with some lovely blogger friends. Showed me I'd fit right back in if we ever moved back to, not that that's on the cards. They are a lovely bunch.
Here are a whole lot of random photos to get you up to date.....

Now things are a lot better. Neo has a little routine going on, hubby has been away for 3 nights and I coped all on my own with the 3 kids and getting them off to school and pre school and picking them up again and feeding them and washing them and even keeping the house tidy and play group coming over so I'm patting myself on the back here. I did have a bad night with bubs but we even survived that. I can only see things getting better and better as time goes on. I will catch up our your blogs too slowly, one day.
