what? really? has it been 4 weeks already! I remember with Keira that things got a whole lot easier when she was 6 weeks (3 months for the twins) so I’m hoping this little miss is following the same path as Keira. We’re still getting through the days (and nights!) and we have good and bad ones. Good is when I get a shower and remember to put deodorant on…………
and bad…….well probably last night when retro daddy was away, Finn was having what I thought was his worst asthma attack as well as a fever and I had to take him to the hospital at 4am! Turns out he has croup and my mum is an absolute lifesaver as I almost bundled all 4 in the car to the hospital but she came to the rescue and minded the big girls for me. Don’t you love it when these things happen and you’re on your own!
But little Elodie is still as gorgeous as ever and slept through the whole thing, bless her. Yes, I could still go back for one more baby………..
my goodness, life is never dull is it? Hope Finn is well. you’re a champ Corrie. not to mention amazing, brave………………..etc, etc

Love her in pink! So girly!
Poor Mr Finn!!
She is adorable…..who woulnd’t want to go back for another….
slap myself…reality check…yes they are more wantable at that age…but no i couldn’t do it again.
You poor thing. Poor Finn. Our have had croup bit too.
4 weeks! Yowzers! I’m not a fan of ‘going it alone’, I can honestly say that whenever my husband isn’t home the girls sleep terribly. Meaning that by the time he’s home I’m a grumpy little so and so LOL. Having said that though, I could go another…or (shh don’t tell) a couple more…
your life is full of adventures!!
hope Mr Finn is ok & when I look at gorgeous pics like that I’d also love to go back for another, but then I remember…we are sticking to 2.

She must be contented she even smiles in her sleep – on your last post about things children say ……..When my eldest was about two we were leaving my moms on a dark winters night – he looked up into the sky at the moon abd said “oh nooooooo, the moons broke !” I looked up to see a crescent moon just as he said “never mind, daddy fix it” and trundled up the drive.
We still call it a broken moon even now and hes nearly fifteen. XX
I hope Finn’s back to full speed today. My little Lucy (3 months) has the same pink flowery suit that her Nanna gave her… cuteeeee!
I just noticed her hair is quite dark. Will it stay this way or did your other kids have blonde from the start? Hope you’re getting rest and peaceful time! She looks happy in the bassinet.
Oh poor Finn having croup. I remember Lachlan having that when he was 10 years old and then everyone telling me to take him outside in the middle of the night when it was freezing cold as it actually helps. Thank goodness for your mum coming over to help, how is she going at the moment.
Love that little half smile in her sleep. I know it’s probably wind but it gets me every time. You’re coping amazingly – croup is awful. We have croup and asthma rather a lot… A x
Oh my! What a night! I am glad poor Finn is doing well and yay for mothers who can help out in the small hours of the morning.
Don’t worry about writing off having more children just yet. We were only going to have 4 and Greg was determined when JW was a newborn that that would be it while I was still swimming in those hormones that make you clucky for more right there and then. After about 9mths Greg was the one who was super keen to do it all just one more time!
Of course, this time is DEFINITELY it. It’s going to be hard enough to fit 5 kids into this house 6 would do my head in although I am sure I will always feel clucky. It just seems to be my nature.
I hope you all get some rest today.

You poor darling. As soon as you mentioned taking Finn to the hospital, I panicked, imagining you trying to bundle the three sleeping girls into the car before your mercy dash. Exhale. Mums are the best.
Yes, with the pixies, about 12-14 weeks, life calmed down a little. Hmm, having a sweet newborn is one thing, especially when they sleep so much but a 5th child with all the independence and extra personality to deal with? I’m not sure I could go there, Corrie ☺. J x
She is precious. The time really does fly.
Thank heavens for your mom. That would have been a nightmare of a trip to the hospital. Croup always sounds so scary too.
You poor dear! Those first few months are hard! Hope things improve really really soon.
Hahaha. Yes. You must tell RetroDaddy that Finn needs a little brother. Poor little guy — I hope he’s feeling better today. Elodie is just adorable — I can’t believe it’s been 4 weeks already!
Too too cute, I thought I would stop at three, but now we are planning another and I can’t wait!!
Enjoy x
she is absolutely gorgeous, such a cute little photo.
Hope your little boy is ok.
