Last weekend we welcomed our latest member to our family, baby Riona. She weighed 3.2kg and was 50cm long when she was born on Sunday.
Taken last week at the hospital
Before she was born we were wondering about what her blood group would be as hubby and I are of different blood groups. He is B+ while I am O+. The boys both take after him as their blood group is B+ and I wondered if #3 would be the same too. Surprisingly her blood group is different and she takes after me with a O+ . It’s strange how the different genes get passed down from one generation to another.
Here is a questions for all the readers here.
Who does she look like?
Here is a collage which I did last year of the boy’s newborn photos and our photos. I would really like to read about your guesses in the comments below.
Nowadays the price of things have been escalating rapidly. As part of Writer’s Workshop this week I’ll be attempting
Prompt #1– I recently participated in a LIVE chat about couponing in the Frugal Living community on BlogFrog and I had no IDEA this community of savers existed. Describe a time when you saved BIG.
This is the bunk bed which I bought for the boys last week. I had been shopping around for new beds for the boys as welcoming present from Riona. I decided this time around not to get them any toys as they already have many toys and do not need extra toys around.
Buying beds is a rather big investment as they are not cheap and I wanted to get beds which could last the boys for quite awhile till they were at least in secondary school. I sourced around on the internet to look at the various patterns available and price range.
There were quite a few different types available. Some of the bunk beds I saw look like buses or out from a children’s storybook. However many of these beds were not practical as the boys will outgrow them in time and are only suitable for pre-schoolers. They too came with hefty price tags which do not justify with poor quality materials used to make the beds.
I sourced around for sturdy wooden bunk beds which could be separated into two single beds for the boys to use now. I do not intend to stack up the beds as bunk beds as it is rather dangerous for them at their current age to be sleeping on the upper bunk bed.
The boys would be jumping off the ladder and may injure themselves in the process. It is also quite difficult to monitor them all the time. To prevent any accidents from happening I have kept the ladder away and placed the beds side by side.
I managed to find these beds on offer this month and they came with two mattresses so we didn’t have to fork out extra for them. It added up to savings of about $500 for the beds as mattresses can easily cost $300-$500 a piece.
