Sorry... I am still in hospital








Hello mummy and daddy's friends and family.


My name is Gabriella Ruth Gaylor and I was born at 2.18am on Friday 24th August 2007 after my mummy only being in labour for only six hours! I was 7.1 pounds and 51cm long.


My Nanna Ruth was of great support and mummy pretty much slept inbetween the painful contractions (my spine was pressing against hers with each one, apparently that pain in the back is worse!?)


The only pain relief mummy had was gas and that was once I arrived as she needed 8 stitches (my face was truned the wrong way and they had to not only break her fore waters but turn my head too).


Needless to say we were both very exhausted that first day!


My daddy surprised us Friday night with a weekend visit (apparently everyone knew but Mummy that he was coming!) He will also be home next weekend too.




I am currently in the Special Care Nursery as I had a high temperature and they have put me on a course of antibotics while my bloods get sent off for tests.


Everyone at the hospital both visitors (yes!) and staff all say I am gorgeous and love my long dark hair! Mummy has even heard people taling and asking others if they have seen me and if not they just have too!! :)




Anyway, I hope to be home soon as I am more than ready for some serious spoiling!!!!

No Squishy yet!

Still waiting... Looks like Squishy wants to make a Fashionably late Grand Entrance into the world!

Those that know me well, know exactly how impatient I am (DH would add here also that I am a spoilt brat! LOL) and HATE waiting as much as I HATE to be late for anything!




Got to go and kill some more time now....................

4 days until my DUe Date!


Okay, if I still have 4 days to go until my actual Due Date why is it that people keeping asking me when I am going to have Squishy! I thought the first baby always arrived late!?

Anyway, I am trying to keep myself busy scrapping just in order to pass the days that seem to be dragging on sooooo slowly now! At least I am getting some scrapping done! The above layout is of our dog Moo that passed away earlier this year. It was a very hard layout to do emotionally, especially the journalling, but I LOVE it as it captures her whole personality beautifully!

If Squishy is going to be late, at least I will be able to participate in the Blumar's Weekend Workshop which starts this Friday! That should make the weekend pass a bit faster too!
I am going to the doctors later today and then the Midwife on Saturday so between the two of them I should find out if Squishy's head has engaged yet as I am not feeling it or just do not know what I am meant to be feeling!
Am I still meant to be feeling Squishy moving this much? It almost feels like she is wiggling her way down! LOL!
That is it for now, I am off to pass some more time...

Happy Birthday Scott

Happy 35th Birthday to my Hubby!
He is still convinced that Squishy will arrive today! LOL! Still waiting....
the only signs I am getting, if they are signs at all is a dull backache and abdomen pain (just like I would get before my period) and extreme exhaustion!

Still scrapping...






Still scrapping while waiting! I am almost caught up on my 9 month album for Squishy! I can not believe how daring I have been with my colour combos! I am using colours and patterned papers that I would not normally use! :) Very daring! LOL!

What do you girls think of my 38week bump shiloutte on my waiting layout?

Blumar's August Challenges

The theme this month at Blumar's is Monochromatic:






Although I did not stick to the sketch I did enjoy the challenge, especially since Brown isn't a colour I would normally use! Very happy with this layout!

Will share some more layouts soon...

MY SCRAPPING MOJO HAS RETURNED!

Got to go and make the most of it! :)


Also currently on the site is my Basic Birthday Card Gift Box class:
