ONE WEEK OLD TODAY!

Hello! Zac is one week old and I just loved these pics this morning! Reuben is truley loving his brother!
We had a midwife visit today and found out that Zac has hardly lost any weight in fact has put on 200gr in 2 days which is pretty amazing considering avarage according to her is about 70gramms.
He remains a very good baby last night surprisingly slept through from 10pm-3:30pm amazing! He feeds like a natural and sleeps a lot although we had twice one hour when he was just looking around taking things in!:))

Today reuben insisted in trying to feed his brother and pulled his top up that was so sweet:)) and then when he got very tired and needed to get to bed I was feeding Zac and he waited very patiently which is really not like him....but maybe transformation is happening on all levels?!! I hope and pray that it is indeed what we hoped and prayed for God has listened and blessed us with a very good baby..!



Ma vagyunk 1 hetesek! A noverke is eljott es lemerte a kicsi Zac ot es azt mondja 2 nap alatt 200 gr-ot tett magara! Atlagos ebben a idoszakban hogy a kicsik vesztennek a sulyukbol de Zac ezek szerint nagyon keveset vesztett es allitolag ugyesen eszik ez a titka mindennek. nekem ez nagyon erdekes mert a Reubennel nagyon sokat kinlodtunk ugyanis nagyon rosz alvo es evo volt. Egyebkent minden mas ok a babaval. Az ejjel 10 oratol este 3:30ig reggel fol sem ebredt ugyhogy riadtan ebredtem reggel arra gondolva mar en is ehes vagyok nem hogy o! De nem...a kicsi nyugodtan nyujtozkodott. Nagyon orulunk neki...es hiszuk hogy ez a nagy aldas itt van hogy elvezhessuk es nem csak kis idore. Reuben is nagyon szereti a kitestveret nekem ez meg nagyobb aldas...ma ugyesen kivarta mig megetettem a kicsit aztan ot fektettem le. Istennek hala mindenert es azert is hogy megertuk az 1 hetet! Mult heten ilynekor meg sem tudtam mozdulni mara mar autt vezethetek es mozgok jol!

And a picture with MAMA!:)) How good that she is here with us. Experienced and very optimistic. She wakes so early and is so helpful...

I am so blessed to have a mum who believes being with her daughter and family at a time like this is the best gift she could give us. She is here for 6 weeks and I am elated and so pleased that she is my mum! I am so proud of her! I hope one day I remember how good this feels and will be able to help my sons too like this cause there is no gift better than love and self sacrifice! God bless my mum so she can enjoy the boys and us for a long time!

Egy kep mamaval is aki nem csak magat de mindenet ideadta nekunk 6 hetre ami itt nagy dolog! HIhetetlen mit jelent az ude, jo kedve es itt lete reszemre. Gondolom egy ilyen jo babaval nem nehez amugy sem de mamaval olyan jo! Kessege, koran kelese es jo kedve nagy ertek...tobb mint penz vagy akarmilyen ajandek. Imatkozom hogy Isten aldja meg ot nagyon nekunk hogy sokaig tudja elvezni unokait es bennunket is.

More Family Visits

hello!!! Grandma Smith visited on Saturday so we had a nice time enjoying both grannies and whil Granny Smith had Zac pretty muvh most of the day the other granny threw together a scrumptious meal....yummm for all to enjoy!!!

Szombaton Smith nagymama is meglatogatta a kis Zac ot! A masik mama meg fenseges ebedet kesziettet mindenkinek!:)) De jo egyutt a sereg!

Here is one of those moments when Mama and aunty Ellie just sit around enjoying Zac and Reuben....sadly aunty Ellie is off tomorrow but she has been such a lovely help and support during the past few weeks!

Egy azok a percek kozzul amikor Mama meg Ellie neni nem gyoztek elvezni a kicsi Zac es Reubent....sajnos Ellie elmegy holnap. Hianyozni fog a jo humora meg a relaxalt stilusa es persze a sok segitseg!

Here a moment with Reuben such a shame that often when the sweetest things happen we don;t have a camera!:)) handy. Reuben has so far offered Zac his dummy, his bottle (with milk), his Buzzlighyear and some of his cars....a cuddle some kisses and a few pokings?! all out of love off course!

Olyan rosz hogy amikor a legszebb pillanatok vannak nincs a kamera...de eddig a Reuben mar szivesen atadta a cumit, a tejesuveget a jatekai kozzul a legkedvesebbeket es persze egy puszi meg egy par oleles es kis nyomakodas is volt mar?!:)

Here is a sweet swaddly picture of Zac! His skin is so nice and clear these days today day 5 he has a little jaundice but generally he is fine!:)

He had a visit today from the midwife and his prick heel test etc. He and mummy both getting well!

Egy nagyon edi polyas kep amit ma keszitettem...nagyon elvezem a boe gyonyoruen tisztul es ma 5 ik nap kicsit sargasagos de normalis a noverke szerint! Ma meg par tesztet is megcsinaltak neki es anyukat is megvizsgaltak es kivettek a varatokat. Erosodunk naprol napra!

We are home! Welcome Zack!

Hello from home! This is the precise moment we arrived home! Just about enough time to sit down before R was brought home! He was very excited about his presents from Zac (Mr and Mrs Potato Head) however Zac was a little bit uninteresting at this point! Eventually later on after his bath he went up to Zac;s crib and kissed his foot...and poked his finger into Zac to see if he was a toy or a real thing....! He was sweet and not agressive...! Welcome home my darling!

Waiting to be released from the hospital room...which had the most beautiful views and was indeed good for me. It had privacy and own bathroom all my own...of course I paid for it. Zac was the best baby on the ward hardly crying and sleeping loads...he seems so far a bit more content than his brother used to be....but I just don;t know its to early to say.
Getting dressed for going home! Mummy realised pretty much everything we brought with us clothes wise was way to big....so...was good laugh after all...poor Zac!:)) still he looks so much better aftre 2 days then when he was born with all the bruises from the forceps etc!:))

Zac! Na hat akkor par sort magyarul is! Anyuka oltozteteskor vette eszre hogy szinte minden ruha darab amit odatett a haza menesre irto nagy volt na de azert sikerult jo melegben haza hozi a kicsit es bucsut mondanni a fajdalmas de kellemes korhazi ottletunknek. Olyan sokkal jobban nez ki ezeken a kepeken Zac pedig csak 2 nappal oregebb de erdekes a forceps tol okozott kis sebek is szepen lehuzdotak egyre tisztabb es szebb ez a kisfiu! JO ithon lenni! Reubent megvartuk baratnom hozta ot haza es a babatol kapott jatekoknak azonnal nagyon orult sajnos Zac nem volt nagy cucc majd csak este furdes utan jott a kisagyahoz es megpuszilgatta majd megtapogatta mintha kivancsi lett volna igazi ez a kis valami....:)) nem volt agresziv csak edes es baratsagos!:) Nagyon jo volt ezt latni!

In hospital off course other than daddy the first visitors aunty Ellie and mama....followed next day by aunty Cheryl and Julie, Lottie and Hester and Jim (Eddie wasn;t allowed in as he is uner 14). To be honest I enjoyed my time in hospital, the staff was indeed fantasic, they all bent backwards for making sure I was fine but then again....I suffered hell with my op. Anyway, it was nice to also see friendly faces from the outside world!:)
Az elso latogatok Mama es Ellie neni!:) De jo hogy itt vannak KOSZI NAGYON!

One of the first pictures of Zac! He was so bruised and so battered....we both suffered a lot! I never thought its gona be this difficult. I went in very courageous and knowing what to expect but when the first spinal block failed then the other one, when the following 2 epidurals only numbed me in certain areas and the surgeon cut in and I SCREAMED feeling it all....we then had to have immediate general aenestetic!!:)) Which made me sleep very deep I did actually want to go to sleep and wake up with a son at this point! I eventually woke up half hour after daddy had a screaming Zac....and was the most beautiful sight to see a proud daddy chatting up the nurses (no not this sight) with gorgeous Zac in his arms...looking very very pleased!

Nem gondoltam ennyi kalandal jar Zac megszuletese, 2 spinal block utan (hatgerinces inekcio zsibaszto) es 2 epiduralis utan egyszeruen csak itt ott zsibadtam...az orvos neki latott a vagasnak de mindent ereztem ugyhogy jott a nagy kiabalas panik majd a altatas amit megmondom oszinten igazan nem bantam hisz tudtam akkor mar aludni akartam es csak arra ebredni ott van a szep fiam. Hat sajnos a sok zsibasztas annyira kifarasztott hogy csak fel ora utan ebredtem ugyhogy addig apuka es Zac ismerkedtek (ill Zac orditott) apja oleben mig apa beszelgetett a nover nenikke.....buszkelkedve fiaval. Erre a kepre ebredtem...olyan jo erzes volt:)

This is what I saw when I woke up eventually...a proud daddy and his new son!:)

Na ez az amire ebredtem egy boldog apuka es ujszulott fia!:)

Cuddle with mummy! Zac has received the BEST BABY AWARD in the MMH as in they said he was a perfect sucking baby...he latched on like he was always meant to do that and fed (? strange) for half hour everyone was stopping to look at him...:))

Anyukaval az elso talakozas! Zac megkapta a korhazbol az elismerest ugyanis azt mondtak a noverkek hogy eletukben nem lattak meg ilyet mintha mindeg erre szuletett volna hogy szopizzon. Fel orat szopizott ami nekem teleg fura hisz nics is tej ilyenkor na de azert profi modra csinalta!!

Mama and mami went in together to the hospital and this is so good. Mama was ecouaraging her little daughter to be strong and that came as a really good thing as I was waiting for what it seemed forever....

Mama es a lanya egyutt varakoztak a korhazban....olyan jo volt. Mama szepen batoritgatott amire szukseg is volt mert allanodan ettem volna idegemben es ugye olyan hoszunak tunt a varakozas!:)

39 weeks and time is up!

39 weeks and time seems to be up for us! I feel I have been preparing forever for this moment...certainly if I look back this pregnancy has been a real journey and do not wish to complain but it will be so nice to get to the stage where I can hold Zac and enjoy him from outside:)) This weekend and today I have concentrated on being prepared emotionally, physically and off course mentally. I feel ready to welcome our new addition to the family and I am pleased to report I have no nerves or anxieties at all. Although last night had very little sleep...and I guess won;t be any different tonight I managed to sleep a few hours today which was bliss. Mum and Elisabeth have been lovely companions at the weekend and today and helped me get ready even more and better. Elisabeth's humour made me enjoy this last day, thank you! So, time is nearly up...and I have been showered with loads of telephone messages and texts, e-mails and such. I have not had time to answer all of them...sorry for that.
My bags are ready, mum is comming with me in the morning, J will look after R and take him into nursery after which he will come and be with me for the op...all ready really so will be in touch soon with announcements and such!:)
XX TO EVERYONE!:)

week 38 officially!

Hello from here!:)) I am still alive....although probably safe to say started the early stages of labour which I won;t go into. The contractions are getting stronger....and well I just hope Zac will stay put until the due date! The nights are less dramatic although sleeping is still a challange. Reuben has been ill with a bad cold which meant I was up even I was tired...and probably could have slept straight through the night. But such is life as one of my friends would say. I have been kind a spring spirited until today when the weather is cold and freezing and it even snowed....still delighted with my tulips and fresias favourites at this time of year well actually April but as always I like to be a step ahead. This pic was taken one night while I was writing Zac and R;s journals at the kitchen table. I was looking at these flowers and thinking of the beauty of creation. I am so blessed in so many ways...and often all we need to do is just stop and acknowledge it. I was wondering what would this world be without pretty things?! HOw good that we can delight in flowers, nature etc.Even R loves flowers always ready to climb on the table and feel them.

Its getting closer to Zac's arrival exactly 5 days now! I wanted to spend some time with R doing the things we like doing....he and us had a good day today...and he kept comming up for cuddles...I think Zac felt the love and he was signaling he likes the cosyness...it was such a good day for reflections and thoughts on how the new 4 of us might fit in together. I feel so good about the new 4 just hope and pray things will go ok.

Hat 38 hetes vagyok! Megvagyok bizonyosodva elindult elso fazissa a szulesnek...amikor beal a hatfajas....a erosebb fajdalmak stb. De hiszem valahogy meg kihuzom Keddig. Az ejszakak egyre nehezebbek habar igazan most aludnek is es tudnek is de Reuben nagyon meg van fazva es sokszor arra ebredek sir mert nem kap levegot. Ahogy azt egy baratnom mondja ez az elet es menni kell szepen haladni tovabb. A mult ejszaka mikozben Zac es Reuben naplojat irogattam...eltunodtem a szep tulipanok es freziakon...annyira varom mar a tavaszt es olyan jo lett volna ha marad az enyhe ido de mara megjott a ho is....es igazibol meg tel van!!de gyonyorkodom mindennap a szep tavaszi vragokban kicsit elore vagyok tudom mint mindeg szeretek egy lepessel elore menni....de foleg azon gondolkoztam milyen szegenyek lennenk a szepseg nelkul amit egy vorag egy termeszet neha kinal. Meg Reuben is elvezi sokszor felul az asztalra es simogatja a viragaim....jo erzes lehet!
Delutan ma a fiammal sokat foglalkoztam 5 nap es mar ujjabb fiam lesz meg egy....es osztoznom kell de most meg nem igazan es ezert akartam ra figyelmet es szeretetett pazarolni. Itt muveszkedtunk es kozben nagy olelelseket kaptam. Azt hiszem jo erzes volt kint is bennem is...es Zac is elvezte hisz jelzett odabentrol....:))

Hello! Here is my beautiful MELBA PJs...and off course my immense belly which people keep saying is small...and nice! We are 37 weeks preggers this week! Only 13 days left til I am going in for a Ceasarian and I am sooo loooking forward to it. When I was preggers with Reuben I was able to walk everywhere I was swimming nearly every day and felt very well pysically but now getting up even from a chair, floor, couch is like my bones are gona go in 1000 pieces. My back continually hurts and suffering of congestion....and insomnia. When I would finally fall asleep either Reuben or Zac wake me one from outside complaining he can;t sleep one from inside eithwr reminding me its time to eat, drink, toilet or just doing daily exercise at night....pheww! Anyway, I shall be glad to think this is my last ever pregnancy GOD WILLING (terrible thing to say?) and therefore I will try and enjoy the rest of it even though I am not sure I would be telling the truth as I am breaking into pieces. More and more of my friends tell me I shall be looking better after myslef, put feet up and relax and that I shouldn;t drive and veture out anywhere...but thats just not me although sometimes I just have to curl up and sleep during the day. Well this is me in short! Zac I can;t wait to see ya, hold ya and hopefully enjoy you none of this is your fault you are still the best thing my perfect gift....!

Hat itt vagyok ....jo nagy habar mindneki azzal jon hogy jaj de kis helyes a hasam es kicsi....uj PIzsim van amit nagyon szeretek...annyira kenyelmes es remelem jol alszok benne....

Tovabbra is nagyon erdekesnek tallom hogy ennyire kulombozik ez a terhesseg a Reubennel valo terhessegtol ugyanis Reubennel mindenhova gyalogoltam es usztam szinte minden nap...Zac al megszakadok ha csak poziciot kell cserelni vagy felalni szekrol, agybol stb. Minden oldalbordam faj nem beszelve a hatamrol. Tovabbra is irto roszul alszom es sok a savam. 37 hetes vagyok es mostmar ha beall a szules normalis nak tartjak es minden ok keves a riziko. HIhetetlen hogy 13 nap es mar szulnom kell...ha csak nem jon Zac hamarabb amit nem tudok elkepzelni ugyanis remelem nem tortenik meg. Egyre tobben mondjak pihenjek, tegyem fol a labam, stb de ez nekem nem megy csak amikor teleg kifingok!!! Autoval kozlekedem amit ugy szinten nem ajanlanak az utolso 2 hetben de hat valakinek kell vinni Reubent oviba...hozni, vasarolni stb...Szivesen ulnek le es pihennek de vasalni, mosni, fozni akkor is kell. Ejjel ugy aludnek...de mikor vegre jol elalszom vagy Reuben erkezik mellem es sir hogy nem tud aludni...igy hat egymason ulunk...es mozgunk vagy Zac nak jut eszembe hogy vecezni, enni, inni kene vagy eppen tornaorat tart bent.....ugyhogy tiszta jo ALDOTT VAGYOK UGYE?

Ennek ellenere varom Zac megjeleneset kivancsi vagyok ra es hat mindez nem o baja az enyem en meg mindeg azt hiszem o a tokeletes ajandek amit IStentol kapunk es igy varom!
