On the 22nd my first granddaughter was born at 7.41pm weighing 6lb 5oz's and she is such a cutie.

The only one with Kathy for the birth was bubs dad Chad, I was there earlier but at 6pm Kathy told me to go home as it would be hours before bub would be born and that they would ring me when it was getting closer and I could go back. Well so much for being hours as it was only 1hr and 41min later that Cookie was born.

She has been named Sydney-May Joanne and after much discussion between Kathy and Chad it has been decided to give her Chad's last name.

She looks so much like my niece Temika they really do look like twins.

This afternoon we welcomed another baby girl into the family with the birth of another niece for me she was born at 1.30pm and weighted 7lb15oz not sure what her name is yet, well I do know but don't know how to spell it so that bit of info I will share at a later date.So now it is 2 down 1 to go and I think that 1 will come sooner rather then later............

On the 5th we welcomed a new addition to the family my niece Temika Mae was born at 1.05pm. My brother in-law was 2 minutes late for the birth as he had to work in Branxton that day and since he doesn't drive (has no licence) he had to get a lift back and it is an hour away. Mum and me arrived at the hospital about 20 minutes after she was born and when we got there Sandra was feeding her so we didn't get to have a cuddle but thats ok.

Sandra left the hospital in the afternoon I think she was silly for going home so soon but to each there own.When she got home she found our sister Sue and her sister in-law and husband waiting outside her house ready to see the baby. Which I think was wrong they should have waited at least till the next day before visiting her.

I finally got to have a nurse on Sunday at lunch and she is so tiny she was 6lb 5oz born. Sandra said she has been wanting to feed a lot every hour or so and I know that can be stressful. Sandra said when Temika was born that she wasn't going to use a dummy but that changed after a couple of days.

Ed (Sandra's husband) had taken a week off work to be home with them for the first week but he is back at work now. So I wonder how my baby sister is coping.

Baby number 2 is due either this week or next week so will let everyone know when that happens and my daughter is due to have hers sometime in the last week of the month.

Happy New Year...............................Has anyone made any resolutions? I haven't I don't believe in them as I never keep them no matter how much I try.

I would like to be slimmer and healthier and I will try but it isn't easy Tim is always having a go at me about what I eat and how much I exercise and rarely does he say anything supportive. He thinks he is being supportive but the truth is he makes me feel like shit.

Sometimes I wonder why it is all so hard and in fact I have had times when I wish I would get sick enough to lose weight those thoughts come to me at times when I am feeling low which is more then I like.

Well been ages again between posts no excuse just been a bit lazy lately, hows everyone ready for Christmas I hope.

I have decorations up cards hanging on the wall and most of mine sent out.

I sorted out all the presents and found out that there was a couple of people I had nothing for so off to buy more presents although if Tim saw that I had he would have a hard time believing I needed anything else.

I love this time of year but it is the worst time to try and lose weight but I am trying and of course it is difficult when I can't exercise. I walked for 10 minutes the other day on the treadmill at a slow walk and afterwards I felt awful.
