Mr Smith

Here's a post about my Partner Shannon, For those who know nothing about. Hes Maori Born in Wanganui, and went to Wanganui Boys Collage and had Moved to Australia- Perth when he was 18! He is currently 33 years of age, he's obsessed with the game called COD (Call of Duty) he owns alllllll there games and absolutely loves playing other online! He Loves the Gym! he's such a gym junkie, as you would be able to tell by his pictures, he went a bit down hill when i had Nizhoni Just because we were so busy looking after her and being first time parents learning how to raise and love our new born baby. But hes back on track and hes doing better then ever! He loves the sports MMA (mixed martial arts) when he moved to Oz he joined up doing BJJ ( Brazilian Ju Jitsu). He Loves it! Me on the other hand don't like it as much, the blood everywhere and other injurys, the Knock outs! Nope not my cuppa tea!!!  His birthday is the 4th of December.He works out in Western Australia- Karratha as a Scaffolder...He never always had this job...we both decided when I was pregnant with Nizhoni that we wanted her (and other future babies) to have the best start in life, so out to the mines he went to work hard and provide us. He could have stayed here in Brisbane to work but we both knew we would have been struggling a little bit,  being on a really tight budget. Which we really didn't want to have in our lives worrying about Money all the time! It's a massive sacrifice since not being able to see his baby girls for 4 weeks at a time. I say my daily prayers I stay positive, and also having Faith keeps Shannon and I staying strong everyday! If it wasn't for him we all wouldn't have Health insurance, My Family car (Kia 4wd, that I'm in LOVE with!!) , The girls wouldn't have there bank accounts that we had set up for there future, We wouldn't be Going to Sydney for Christmas...We have a List of goals that were wanting to achieve in 5 years Buying our OWN home! (Or building) Holidays, Putting the girls in Private Schools and Maybe Marriage! :) I've got an exciting Future ahead of me and my Little family! And its all because of Shannon! I love him with all my heart, he's done so much for me and the girls! I'm very proud of him, i miss him everyday! Love you babe! xxxx

Miakoda is going on 7 weeks Tomorrow! Time has gone by so fast But loving every minute! :) So far her eyes haven't changed color, they are blue atm and its usually around this time in there age when they start to change. They are beautiful eyes!...Funny how genetics work..Neither me or Shannon have blue eyes only my mum is the one with blue eyes in our family..It seems to have skipped a generation None of us kids got the blue eyes, but the grandchildren are..Two of My older sisters kids have blue eyes her eldest Leemyshai And her youngest son Ephraim Also have blue eyes! Funny thing is Both My sister and her husband are maori with dark features and brown eyes, its really amazing! And now my little Girl Miakoda Has blue eyes.Shes so perfect! Loves to be cuddled constantly and also Loves Nappy change time!! Loves the fresh air and freedom I guess, She's also starting to smile..And I THINK I can see dimples??? I THINK...Still have to wait a couple more weeks. If so she sooo got them from ME!! =D Love seeing my babies Grow!!!

Chatter Box!

Nizhoni Is sooo good when it comes to talking, i know exactly whats shes wanting or what she's talking about...Here's a LOOONNNGGG list a the things she can say!

Here it goes...Hello, Bye bye, Ta, No, Don't,Naughty,Pretty, Down, Get down, Shh she's sleeping, Look a Birdie, Birdie, Dora,One..Two..Three, Yum Yum, Drink, Sore Sore, Eww, Yummy, Yukky, Hot, Daddy, Mummy, Uncle, Aunty, Ting ting (cousin) , Shai shai(cousin) , Mana (cousin), Papa, Nana, Bubba, Sister, Go Diego go, Whats that?, There it is, There (when passing me some thing), Cuddles, Dummy,Flower, Plane (when a plane flys over our home), Scary!!!, Koda (meaning Miakoda) ,Go away, Tiny Teddy, Doggy, Puss puss (she also Meeeowwsss Like a cat, its soo cute!), Mine (when she doesn't want anything taken off her), Eye( and points to her eye), Look at that! ....
Hmm i think I've Pretty Said it all...She says all these words Daily and she's getting better and better at it! She must take after me because once you got me talking i can't stop!! :) I can see that Nizhoni will be a young woman who will be very loud and outspoken, and actually might hurt someones feelings one day. Which i will have to teach her not to be too outspoken, because it could lead to having no friends in school.Which i defiantly don't want for any of my kids! She Might not be this way? I think i will just have to wait and see... :)

Have you noticed her teddy doesn't leave her side!! lol

My girls!

Miakoda Is now 6 Weeks and Nizhoni is 18 Months! And what an awesome 6 weeks its been!!! Shes now fitting 4 zeros :) Love watching my girls grow! Shes also waking up just once during the night! And its only going to get better! :) Nizhoni Loves her sister (i think a little too much) Shes always coming up and kissing her and trys to help burp her by patting her back, when she is sleeping Nizhoni will whisper "shhh shes sleeping" Doing the "shh" action too! Her talking is getting so much better!!! She will also put the blanket over her and sometimes over her face (I'm right there to save Miakoda) :P , I can tell that Nizhoni will love it when Miakoda gets to the age when she can play, she already tries to play with her by touching Miakoda's toes and says "tickle tickle tickle" nawww! Its wont be long and she will be at that age to be able to play :) Miakoda is the most well behaved baby! She sleeps like an angel, and when shes having awake time shes just happy to lay in her cot and make cute baby talk noises to herself. LOVES her baths.LOVES cuddles :) I'm loving it because Nizhoni was the COMPLETE opposite Hated being held or cuddles. Hated baths (screamed every bath time up until 7 months). She was a very serious baby, And now that shes walking and knows how to talk, shes touching everything, Climbing up anything and everything, Doesn't listen when i say no, chucks tantrums (big time!!!) I'm really hoping she grows out of this (this better be her terrible "early" twos) If not, then I'm prepared! She is one handful of a child! She defiantly keeps me on my feet! Nizhoni Got her jabs the same time i went in for my postnatal check up,  the poor girl it gets harder as they get older because there wayyy more knowing and a lot harder to keep still! :( she had her dummy and teddy right there to comfort her after. :) Everything is fine with me, my doctor always says you were made to have kids and also says "You do this very well"...she says i could have 6 kids and still be sweet! Which is really good to hear...Makes me wonder how much more kids the lord has planned for me?? Shannon and i LOVE our girls and want whats best for them, We all have health insurance, plus our girl have there own bank account savings to go towards what there wanting to do after school? Tafe? Uni? I wonder what there going to be, or what there going to do...But lets not think that far ahead I'm ejoying the little human beings they are NOW! :) here a couple of pictures of the Sisters together! :)

Gosh i Make beautiful Babies (As any mother would think of there babies)

Big Catch up!!!

I really need to catch up on my blogging!!

I think ill just start fresh and begin with the story of my second daughters birth!
BEWARE It's very Detailed :) Welllllll Here it goes!!!

On Friday the 2nd of September i went in for my FINAL ultrasound (had to keep getting ultrasounds because Baby was in the 8th percentile) to check baby's growth, the lady that was checking baby didn't say much! Which left me very worried!! So she sent me up to the birth suite, where they checked baby's heart rate, a midwife then came in and told me there going to "arrange" something to be done (as in being induced), They were telling me they rather baby out for me to fatten her up, she was a bit on the small side. Which i was sweet with i rather her out now and get it over and done with, she then came back in and told me I'm booked in on the 4th (fathers day) to be induced!....They then let me go! As soon as i got out of those hospital doors i burst into tears! ONLY because Shannon was working in the mines and i didnt think i would be induced that soon!!! When i got to speak to him at 7pm (WA are 2 hrs behind and there not aloud there phones on site) i told him the shocking news! And being the wonderful Man he is, he flew out asap and i picked him up Sunday morning :) I was sooooo relieved and Happy but then very nervous at the same time because that was the day of my inducement!I was booked in for 6pm but they didn't put the Gel in me until 7 (i think they were busy) i layed there for an hr for the gel to settle in, then they sent me away to my room and Shannon then had to go home :( Over night nothing happened so at 7 in the morning Shannon then returned and they had put more gel in me. It was lunch and i was having contractions in my room, the midwife counted how long and how far apart they were, she then asked me a long was your first labor? I replied "3 hrs" She was shocked and then said I'm moving you to the birth suit NOW! lol i found it quite funny, so in a wheel chair i went. Took me to a birth suite, did a internal check and i was 6cm dilated, they then asked if i wanted my waters broken, i said "YES JUST DO IT" (i wanted to get it over and done with!!!!) This is when the hard labor started with an Hour of very painful intense contractions and 17 minutes of pushing (while on all fours) My baby girl was out in this big world! Can't get over how fast my labor was 1 hour and a half! I Amaze myself! They passed her through my legs for me to hold , i looked at her and just thought how perfect and tiny she was!! We had an hr bonding then they weighed and checked all her bits and pieces while i got stitched back up.. We named her Miakoda Delilah Smith she weighed 6 Pounds exactly she was 46.5cm Long and a head Circumference of 31cm....She was soo soo perfect! It really does make you think "GOD IS REAL!" :)  I was also Breastfeeding for the first 4 weeks until i got mastitis in both boobs and it stopped my milk from coming in! I was doing so good at it too! But I haven't given up hope i will continue to try with My future Babies i may have :) Here's a few of Birth pictures :)
