October 17, 2010 by Narelle @CookCleanCraft

9 months in the making…

My latest project is complete:

Celeste Annabel arrived on 11th October (just missing out on being a 10/10/10 baby). The labour and birth went much more smoothly than first time around. I’m not one to share unsolicited birth stories, so I’ll leave it at that!

We’re settling in at home, with big brother fascinated by the “Baby Baby”, although he’s definitely a two-year-old-in-training as he’s starting to have tantrums when things don’t happen the way he wants.

First set of grandparents arrive tonight for a two week visit, with the second set coming straight after that. It’ll be great having some support while I work out how to deal with 2 kids under 2 (I still can’t comprehend how you leave the house when you’re out-numbered!).

I still have a backlog of craft projects to share with you as I find time (one-handed typing whilst nursing). Things may be light-on in the cooking and cleaning for a while! Hope you hang around until I get back in the swing of things!

    Best wishes! What a wonderful creation. Enjoy every moment. Best tip for going out with two: Take care of the toddler first. He can run away, baby can’t.

    Congratulations- well done to you and welcome to Celeste. You are taking me down memory lane as the age gap between my two is the same as yours. The first year was my learning curve, at the start it took me 3 hours from getting up to getting out the door! toddler groups were the best destination and kept me part of the social whirl whilst I adapted my mindset, energy and practical skills to managing 2. It is so worth it- my 2 wouldn’t be without each other.
