Englands new dribbler

I

I'm pretty sure she's better than the ones on the field. Daddy's dream of having a son to watch the football with have had to change slightly but as long as shes got a bow in her hair mummy is happy and in matching outfits so is daddy. Especially since Tayla screamed unless she was watching the footy!

I love being a mummy!

Well wouldn't you if you got to look at this little one all day long!

Tayla is now 11 weeks old and we are loving having her in our home, yes we miss sleep and eating our dinners hot but we wouldn't change a thing! 

Other news in the life of the Mateers Steve has finished his exams for the summer (yay!) So we are loving having "daddy" around! 

6 weeks old!

What a poser! Loving her tutu from Auntie Coco

6 Weeks Late......

Due to a situation involving a slipping baby and a falling laptop we have been without internet so I haven't been able to log to announce the arrival of our baby GIRL... Tayla Indah Mateer, born 5th April 2010 weighing a healthy 8.10 1/2! All I have to say about the labour...EPIDURALS are great! Best decision I made! 

Now that I am getting the hang of sleeping in 3 hour blocks during the night and getting covered in various bodily fluids I can't imagine life any other way!

Tayla is a little madam but we love her! She can get away with murder especially when her daddy is involved! 

Full term + 10 days!

I do not know what this baby is waiting for! For the past few months all I have heard is you are huge there is no way you will make it too your due date...... well this baby is adamant that they will prove you all wrong! I am being induced tomorrow at Full term + 11 days (ok 41 weeks +4 days) Then this baby is going straight on the naughty step! Will be a fun way to spend easter sunday thats for sure. I think i deserve lots of easter eggs! Anyway we are so excited to finally be able to meet this little baby and find out if we've got a little boy or girl coming to completely mix up our lives! Bring on tomorrow! (Although knwing this baby its more likely to be monday before we know!) 

One Very Spoilt Baby!

We knew this baby was loved but we had no idea just how much! Our mums threw us an amazing baby shower and this little bundle of joy got soooooo much stuff! We may have to move to a bigger house just to fit in the babies stuff! We got 2 amazing nappy cakes! The baby shower had a great pink and blue theme! Its interesting to see how many people believe this baby is a little boy and others who are equally convinced its a girl! Steves aunty Julie has been convinced baby was coming on sunday (7th) so we spent all day ready and waiting (well not really!)  but alas still pregnant! Our house is now all ready for this baby to get here! We just have to pick up the pram on saturday (hopefully) then we are all ready! Everyone is so excited to see what this MASSIVE baby looks like (its guna have to be massive thats the only explanation for the size of the bump!)

Mum then threw a little baby supper on friday for friends from maidstone and that was lots of fun with lots of delicious food (lasagna and layered salad my favs!) 

Well anyway we are so excited for this little baby to get here so we can dress them up in all their gifts and start using all the fun toys! I'm also a little excited to have a choice of clothes again! Maternity clothes don't offer that much selection!

p.s i can't work out how to get the photos in the right place so this is as good as it gets!sorry! 

Hello 2010!

Figured its time I blogged again because its been a while but we have been crazy busy, we've had my birthday, steves exams, christmas, new year and we've moved (in the snow might I add!)
But we've got loads of excitement coming up this year! Now that we've moved and are somewhat settled we need to get ready for this babies arrival! Only 10 weeks till due date (although i'm about 100% sure i'll be late so my countdown is 12 weeks!- I don't want to be disappointed when baby mateer has not made an appearance by March 24th!)
We got a nice new camera for christmas so now that I have a tonne of time on my hands I am going to learn to use it so we can put up some nice new photos! The most recent photos we have are from christmas when I was 6months pregnant, and yes I know I am huge! I have been told by everyone! This baby is obviously a big one! (Which leaves me VERY nervous!) Anyway just wanted to do a quick update! I will be better at blogging this year! 2010 is going to be great!
