Happy Birthday Sonic

This morning Max came running up to me and said 'mumma we forgot, we forgot that today is my birthday'. I told Max that it wasn't his birthday and he went on to say 'I'm not Max, I'm Sonic and today is my birthday'. How can you argue with that!? So I threw him a little impromptu party :)

 
Toddlers really are the cutest!

40 Weeks (tomorrow)

Tomorrow is my due date, I will have officially made it to 40 weeks!

I'm feeling a little angsty today, I've been sitting on the couch most of the morning alternating between hugs with Max and Cooper. I have so much on my to-do list that I want to get done, but I can't quite seem to get moving.

The anxiety I'm feeling is coming from the appointment I have with the obstetrician tomorrow. The appointment where I think he is going to tell me that time's up and I'm having a c-section. When I originally asked him if I could try for a vbac instead of repeat elective c-section he said 'yes, but if you go past 40 weeks you'll be having the caesar'.

I had one with Max, I know it's not that big a deal. But this time round I really wanted to experience what it's like to go into labour...

I'm trying to stay positive though, I still have 27 hours left before that appointment and I'm sure they won't admit me to hospital on the spot. So I figure I have a couple of days left to somehow convince this baby to come out on his own :).

Cross your fingers for me!!

Cooper

One of my favourite photos from 2011...

Celebrating Spring

Cooper saw in the first day of Spring by getting himself a puppy-cut. As you can see it was well overdue!

It was the first time Max had come along to drop Cooper off at the groomers. As the girl picked up Coop and took him out to the back of the shop I noticed Max's chin start to wobble. He was calling 'bye-bye pah' with a shaky voice as we walked out the door and as we got to the footpath he was sobbing and still crying out 'bye-bye pah'. So Sad :(

I explained to him that we would be picking Cooper back after his nap. I don't think he really understood though. He was so happy to see Cooper when we went back and picked him up!

The Monster Escapes

In our garage we have a dog door for Cooper.

Yesterday a certain someone found it, and by yesterday afternoon that little someone was escaping into the backyard every time I turned my back!
