And the kids are doing great!

Thanks for asking.  Here are a few pictures of them  I am trying to develop a watermark for our photos so you may see several variations appear in the next few weeks!

365 Photo Challenge

I have signed up for the 365 Challenge this year. Partly because I have been using my camera more and more on manual and because we’ve invested in a Nikon D40 (and plan to add an AF-S 55-200 VR lens and flash as we go along!).

Sometimes I will post photos here- usually the knitting ones OR the outtakes but I’ve added the link to the picture blog in my blogroll.

February Photos

 

Time without Reuben…..

means that Jude gets to sprawl about and do what he wants!!

How do babies get here?

We have bought Reuben a book that explains what happens at a waterbirth at home. There is a chance is this baby comes in the daytime that he will want to be around. So we felt something that explained birth and waterbirth would be helpful. The kids will have someone for them if it does happen in the daytime, we have organised all that but Reuben does like to have a nose!!

Anyway, so now I have a baby in my tummy and so does Reuben and according to Reuben, Jude does too!! Anyway Mark tells me that on the way to playgroup this morning, along side the usual dragon and monster adventure that Reuben likes to play out, he became very concerned that we would fill the birth pool while he was out. In fact he insisted that he had to be home and so did Jude, so that their babies could come ou of their ‘bum’ in the water too. We will probably leave it a few weeks and then have a wet run on the weekend so Reuben is even more aquainted with things… and then of course we may use it post birth. My only fear is if he wants to get in with me during labour, though it might be a good distraction, I remember the water being really yucky!! Oh well we will have to wait and see!!

Here is a  pic of the boys getting aquainted with the pool!
