Tristan Jeremiah Onato

On Saturday 22 September 2012, we welcomed in our world a new baby boy, Tristan Jeremiah Onato who was born at 3:30pm.

So proud of Bronwyn who gave birth to such a beautiful boy, and is doing it all by herself.

I am so in love with him ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Che's Baby Shower & Visitors

Today we got up nice and early for Jeremy to get some papers from the RTA and then planned on going to my friend Rachel's baby shower. But we were a little delayed because Jeremy took a while to come back & then Jeremy's sister & brother-in-law came over with the kids, so Jeremy ate before leaving. We ended up arriving at 12pm lol but it was okay, when we just arrived, they were just giving grace for the food so weren't really late.

When we arrived, Jeremy took Jaiden to the playset and let him go on the swings which he didn't like and got scared of lol same with the slippery slide. Then he just ran around by himself and kept going up and down the stairs that takes you to the slide. We had a little walk around aswell where there was a bridge and just walked up and down it & took photos. Then for a little bit more, we let Jaiden play before we left. We ended up leaving around an hour or so later because it was just so cold for all of us and Jaiden started coughing.

Before going home, we stopped off at Shop Smart to look around. They didn't have much things that caught my attention, I mainly went in there to see if I could get a cheap(er) trench for myself and/or Jaiden. I just left with a few lingerie for me & a coat for Jaiden. I was very disappointed at their baby/boys range.. there was literally just one isle for the baby boys and the rest were girls. I really hate when that happens! But at least Jaiden's got a new coat now.

When we got home, we had a pleasant little surprise which was Jaiden's 2nd cousin Tayanna who came and visited with her Grandma & Grandpa. We never see her because they live in Canberra & she hardly comes down to Sydney with her grandparents. The last time we saw her was Christmas last year. Jaiden was a little shy around her but slowly got used to her later on.. Taya was just enjoying getting tickles upside-down by Uncle Jeremy with a little of my help haha.

 

Shopping & early Mothers Day presents

I don't know where to begin about telling you all what I got up to today.. Everything is so scattered in my mind at the moment from overwhelmed happiness lol. I guess I should obviously start from the very beginning of today.

Woke up and got ready nice and early and was ready for my friend Jess to pick me by 10am then I get a call from her at 9:45am saying she just woke up lol but I wasn't too fussed since I hadn't had my morning coffee yet and I could stay a little longer with my little man. After receiving the call from Jess saying, I got calls from my mum which made me stress a little because she got me to do some errands which just ruined my plans all together but at the end when it was time to do what she asked for, everything turned out as to plan.

Instead of leaving my house at 10am, Jess and I left at around 11:30am and made our way to the city for some shopping. After parking our car at Jess' friends place, we caught the bus to Central where Market City was, a quick 10-15 minute trip, we immediately went straight to shopping and looking around. 

We went into an Urban store where I spotted 'Nude Lucy' jeans that were on sale and were in my size. I went and tried out two pairs, one pair being a size 25 which did not fit me because they were just so tight! They were honestly so small that the bottom part of the pants could not go past my heels, literally. The other pair were a size 24 and luckily had zipper bottom sides, which didn't really make a difference because it still came past my heels and fit me great! I was so surprised at how the first pair didn't/couldn't fit when the second pair was a size smaller.

Then we kept looking around and met up with one of Jess' friends who had a 2h break until her next Uni class and so she just walked around with us. Then after an hour of walking around, we met up with one of our friends who was working & due for her lunch break and went to have some Maccas. Before going back up for some more shopping & walking around, Jess quickly ducked into Paddy's Markets which was just underneath Market City to purchase an NBA jersey for tomorrow's clubbing event. When we got back to drop our friend off, I was a little saddened because I saw the Yo Gabba Gabba high top vans with all the characters on it. I was so close to getting it but he already has a pair so instead I purchased him another pair of vans because my friend was working and was kind enough to give me his 40% staff discount :) then proceeded with shopping for Jaiden's clothes. Jess and I also bought our God-children some ugg boots for the winter (they're siblings).

Before leaving to go home, I traditionally got Jeremy his ramen as he requested then made our way back to our car via bus again. The way home was a pain, it took us literally 2 hours to get home from the city which would normally take us tops of 1 hour. On the way, we stopped by at Starbucks and got ourselves some hot chocolates/macchiato's and stopped off at Kaecee's house to give the kids their ugg boots and hung around a little bit.

I got dropped off at around 9:30pm where I saw my Mother's Day present/s. Jeremy earlier on the night txt'd me saying he was sorry that he couldn't get the mixer he said he was going to get me because he thought it wasn't right for the retailed price.. though I had a little hunch he had something else bigger to get when I read it. Then he got my bag our of our closet and said "Jaiden took this bag & poured everything out in the lounge" then he insisted that I put my bag away and before doing so, I looked inside to see if something were in there since he kept pushing me and there, I saw an iPhone 4 white! I was so surprised! I got a new phone and a new mixer! I am the happiest and luckiest mother right now!

 

Lunch & Shopping

on the way to Olympic Park.

Yesterday Jeremy said he would treat me within this week, so he took Jaiden and I to Ribs n Rumps at Olympic Park (since it was the closest). We had to wait for a few minutes for a table, so much for reserving one.. there was no point since we had to wait anyway, but at least we didn't have to wait long.

As I ordered our meals, Jeremy had to go move the car because the ranger was out and about and our parking was only for 30 minutes, we didn't end up seeing the ranger ever again after that lol. But you know, precautions because we saw him give a fine out to a Porsche.

Anyway, our food came & we dug into it straight away! It looked so yummy, especially my ribs! Even Jaiden dug into his food - we specifically got our sides for him. Though he seemed to like the chips more, he even fed himself lol. Jeremy ordered: Lamb Chops with creamy mashed potato. I ordered: Ribs, ribs and ribs with fries. My one consisted of - one half a rack of each beef, pork and lamb. It tasted soo good! I couldn't finish it all so we packed it ready for take-away.

Afterwards, we were going to go to Blacktown to do some Christmas shopping but Stacee agreed to meet up with me at Parramatta. So after picking Jeremy's best friend Chris up, which I ended up giving my ribs to lol we headed back to our place and on the way, Jeremy dropped me off to the station. 

When we got there, we started shopping around and got a couple of items for Christmas - Jeremy's parents, my mums and another present for Jeremy. I also ended up seeing my 'sissy' Hariette and had a quick catch up/talk with her since she was at work :( wished I had stayed longer.

Stacee and I didn't leave the place until around 8pm-ish. Lucky for Christmas extended shopping hours! lol. The train was still so packed when I got in there but luckily I didn't have to stay long on it. I was so glad to have gone home and be in my bed!  It was a great day out with my family and to do some shopping. Though I don't think my cold agrees, it just got that little bit worst today.
