October Bliss

I gave birth to our twins, baby boy S and baby girl P, on October 1st. I'm so glad that I had spontaneous delivery, and labor only lasted four hours. The babies are fine and so am I. I know that it can't be easy for a 19 months old child to all of a sudden become the big brother of two, but J is such a sweet, uncomplaining boy. He enjoys the hours at the "Tagesmutter" and loves having friends over.

Friends, cake & happiness

1: J & T, born on the same day, March 1st 2014. How couldn't they be friends?
2: J's first workpiece. On weekdays, J spends a few hours at a Tagesmutter (a daytime childminder who offers childcare for up to 5 children in her own home). I'm so glad he is easygoing and sociable and loves going there.
3: Poppy seed, red currant & gold. A perfect cake made by Anna.
4: The birthday bouquet I got from my mum.
5: One of the two plum cakes I baked last week. Pregnant women need a piece of cake each day!

This summer

Last October, I posted the last photos here on this blog. I haven't had the energy to take photos, blog or read books over the last few months. We had a hot, hot summer here in Austria. Finally, autumn arrived. Crisp air in the mornings, I missed that. My little son is growing up too quickly. He's already 18 months old and very soon – in a few days – he will be a big brother of two little babies. I'm looking forward to a new season and to being a mum of three.
