Spot the difference! Which one’s Levi and which one’s Ayla?

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ 2 Comments

Michele and I were just going through old pictures of both Levi’s and Ayla’s birth. Both times, I was standing just over Michele’s shoulders and saw first-hand the birth of my children. Both Levi and Ayla had a cesarean birth; Michele still speaks fondly of going for a natural delivery (as all yummy mummies do) … Continue reading →

Them obstetricians think we breed like rabbits!

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ 1 Comment

I haven’t really had time to settle down, unpack and revel in the warm afterglow of post-birth secondtime Daddyhood. Taking a step back and observing what’s around me? What are you kidding? If I’m not being pinned by Levi after being asked to wrestle with him for the umpteenth time or navigating the nappy minefield … Continue reading →

Maternity wear LOL

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ 2 Comments

Do you want to know what heavily pregnant women wear? How about what they feel or their state of mind when they attempt to go out? While I, along with all husbands or husbands-to-be, strongly encourage our partners to doll up the fleeting moment of beauty is only temporary. Honestly, who really is going to … Continue reading →

Coming home

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ Leave a comment

We’ve just arrived home. It’s been an amazing five days; Michele and I – alright mostly Michele – are really exhausted. We were given the option of being moved to the Grand Hyatt (as part of our private health care package) so naturally we opted to stay there for two nights. Michele had a caesarean … Continue reading →

I have a daughter. Wow. I’m still quite speechless. Mother and daughter are doing fine.

Peanut’s own little spot

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ 1 Comment

With Peanut’s arrival not too many days away, the addition of another child seat was timely. Instead of buying it outright, Michele and I made the decision to rent it as we could strap Peanut into our current Meridian AHR which we purchased almost three years ago. By that time Levi would be just over … Continue reading →

The wife’s had enough of it!

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ Leave a comment

It starts off pretty innocently. “Oh wow! So how much longer?” Michele’s just minding her own business, possibly walking through the aisles of a supermarket or just waiting for her turn to be served at the deli. “Is it a boy or a girl? Do you know?” “It looks like a boy!” I often come … Continue reading →

If my wife was a Stormtrooper…

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ Leave a comment

…I would foster my inner rage, cast Unholy Pain on my weapon and with the +25% damage bonus I’d go kill some monsters in the dungeons. Alas, that will always be a dream. I took the family to the annual Pregnancy, Babies & Children’s Expo last weekend. Spent half a day there and walked out … Continue reading →

Daddies up all nite – 3.30am Macca’s run!

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ Leave a comment

This is what Daddies Up All Nite is all about. The sleepless nights, the shortened sleeps and the midnight adrenaline rush. Michele’s still watching her diet after being diagnosed with gestational diabetes. This means she’s constantly hungry. Tonight she could no longer tolerate being hungry anymore and sent me on an early morning run to … Continue reading →

Straight from Levi’s mouth – Sorry!

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ Leave a comment

Levi’s driving around the house in his fire truck selling ice cream. He drives straight into Michele. Levi: “Sorry hippo!” Michele: “What?!” Levi: “Sorry hippo!” Michele: “HIPPO?!” *cue laughter from mother-in-law and myself* Michele: “It’s Mummy, not hippo!”
