Boys X 2 = FUN!!!

Its been fun to go back through Micah pictures and his clothes to see how Noah fits them and the comparisons!! We have enjoyed these past 10 days with the 2 boys and Micah seems to have taken it all in stride!
Noah was weighed on Monday at 8 days of age and weighed in at 7lbs and 9oz!!! That is 6oz that he gained from birth!! What a comparison already! Micah lost 6oz in his first week of life!!! Maybe Noah is going to be like his cousin Luke!! Who knows!!

See the similarities and the differences?

This is Noah at 9 days.

Micah

This is Micah at 17 days....

Our Happy Little Family

we are having an absolutely gorgeous stretch of weather and it has so been good for us!!! with my mom now here, andy off of school for his paternity leave and a new baby in hand, we are enjoying the out of doors as much as we can!!! its great! this photo is from wednesday when noah was 3 days old! we took a similar one with micah when he was a newborn too! thats just a blanket that we had as a wedding gift! very cute!!

Born June 5, 2006 at 17:30. Noah weighed in at 7lbs 3ozs and is 20 inches long!

Welcome to Noah Craig Mullan

1 day to go...

how i am so hoping not to go into labor tonight! andy has a fever of 103...micah too has been in and out of a fever!
although in a way it would be nice to go sometime in the next 24 hours as then we still might be able to squeeze andy going up to manchester to pick up my mom!! what a crazy, crazy schedule we'll have the next few days or so! i just really really hope that this baby isn't any longer than the end of this week! i will be ever so glad to get rid of this bump, meet this beautiful baby and be able to sleep on my stomach again! and not have to pee 5 times a night!!!!
okay, so off to bed now! we'll see what the night and/or tomorrow brings!!!

2 days...

well...unfortunately, no news! i am still here and still waiting!! this is terrible! i liked it so much better when micah just came and surprised us all at 3 weeks early!!! this waiting and anticipation is dreadful!!!
my mom is going to be here in 3 days and i don't even know if there will be someone to collect her from the airport....because i might be in labour!!! its so frustrating! but alas, here we are! i even was outside yesterday playing cricket with the neighbors!! first just standing about in the field (aka. street) but then i caught a hit by andy and got him out!! too cool! then after awhile i decided that i wanted to have a go at batting! i haven't played cricket...ever, but i haven't even played softball in ages!! i thought i'd make a fool of myself, but instead i was quite impressed!! i hit all but one ball and only got out when one of the boys caught the ball!! it felt great to swing the cricket bat and wack the ball a few times!!!
BUT it didn't help to bring on contractions or anything! oh well =) gotta keep trying!!! atleast i can say that the bump has dropped down some so hopefully that is a good sign! don't worry! someone will keep you all posted!!!

4 days....

so this is from yesterday....but here i am! still waiting for this baby to arrive! i'm saying 'still' and i am not even overdue yet!! hopefully i won't go past my dates as my mom is ever so anxious to be here when the baby is and not before!!!
our friend avril has this theory about cycles...and since micah was born on the 2nd (september) this baby should be born around then too! so we'll see...maybe something will start off tomorrow! or tonight!
we had an awful night with micah last night! he went down fine but then woke at 2 and would not go back to his own bed! i was so tired as we had only gone to bed at midnight (after watching the lion the witch and the wardrobe!) and so i wasn't very patient with him! he wanted to go down stairs....so we went but i only gave him some water as he couldn't possibly be hungry! he ate loads for dinner! finally after a lot of whining he finally settled down...in OUR bed! so i didn't sleep very well as i was uncomfortalbe! but then he slept till 8 so that was almost 2 hours of sleeping in!
today is a rainy day so we are kinda stuck inside. will have to find an alternative!!!

first month of micah completed!!

this is the final LO for Micah's first month! jo, karen and paul came over by the night ferry got to ours at around 4 maybe, slept for a few hours, then we had the day to play! well, really they just wanted to see micah...as it was their first time to meet him! their first nephew! we had a fun time...as you can see!! they are watching a clip thats at the end of shrek 1...the dvd came with the 3D glasses!!!
