So! Just last Sunday I was off having a baby and didn’t get any Weekly Winners up. I figure everyone will forgive me though, considering that having a baby is a pretty big deal and editing photos during the middle of it isn’t exactly an option.
Welcome Isaac to the world. He was born in a very quick 90 minutes. Birth story soon, I promise. (Again)
Also, I think this very nearly counts as a smile right? His eyes were open, he was just busily ogling my boobs as I snapped him. Yes, I was taking photos wearing nothing but my knickers. Why?
This:
Nathan called to me to come and photograph this redback spider he found just as I was getting out of the shower. Hence the no clothes and a baby who was grinning at my breasts. This spider? Her bum was about the size of my thumb nail. HUGE for a Red Back. Nathan and I are now pretty paranoid, as the bite of these spiders is nasty. Very nasty. Yes, Nathan did kill it as soon as I snapped this photo. We’re getting the house bug sprayed soon too.
The gorgeous Tiff sent me flowers and a teddy bear for Isaac in the hospital. I got all teary when I read the card. Thankyou so much. They are beautiful.
While everyone else was busy clucking over Isaac, Amy got a cuddle from her Poppy. She has gotten heaps better with Isaac in the last few days, she barely worries about him at all now except to ask to kiss and cuddle him. Much pleasanter than that first night home.
Also, in case you didn’t know, I ended up as a finalist in the 2009 Bloggies. I would love if you could vote for me over there. Or you could vote for Tiff or Kelley instead. Simply making it as a finalist is pretty cool.
Secret Agent Mama is a finalist in the Best Photography category as well, so make sure you throw some love her way.

I am in love with your little boy. Too bad I’m too far away to babysit if you ever need a night out.

I knew it wouldn’t take long for Amy to get used to Isaac. I love his little smile there! And don’t kid yourself, it’s DEFINITELY a smile.
We’re getting larger redbacks here in Adelaide too. Perhaps they’re all doing their bit to support the Redbacks Team?
Those are beautiful flowers from Tiff.
He’s absolutely gorgeous!!
OMW that spider looks nasty.
Well done to Tiff, those flowers are lovely
I’m glad you took photos!
Your little man is adorable. Just adorable. I love the dark hair.
That spider? You can keep him though.

Just a moms last blog post..PRAYERS PLEASE,,,
Congratulations & welcome to the world, Isaac! He’s just adorable & precious! We have those spiders here in America but they’re called “Black Widow” here & they’re deadly if not treated immediately. We also have another quite deadly (if not treated immediately) spider called a “Brown Recluse” spider. Good luck, hope she didn’t leave any babies
Beautiful flowers & glad that Amy’s adjusting well 
Take care 
connies last blog post..Weekly Winners=January 18-24 2009
Aww . . .he’s just so gorgeous! Glad Amy is settling in nicely as a big sister.
Redbacks, oh yeah! Get some outdoor surface spray and go for broke. It’s pretty good stuff. We do our perimeters every 2-3 months (ground level, eaves and around the window and door frames). Cheaper than getting someone in to spray. Although I do reckon the ‘up to six months’ is very optimistic especially if any rain gets to the sprayed areas.
He is so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Many, many congrats! Glad it was quick. He is just beautiful, and I can’t believe how big Amy is getting! So cute.
Maggie’s Minds last blog post..Almost an Okie
oh, he is scrumptious, isn’t he?
Jennis last blog post..It’s Hard
I tried to vote before, but I don’t think it worked. I’ll go again. I’ll have to flip a coin between you and Tiff. I’m very glad I’ve never seen the other three blogs!!!
Your photos are amazing! I’m so impressed that you have a newborn and a toddler….yet are still able to upload photos. Isaac looks like a sweetie. He looks amused with the world.
The spider photo is beautiful. But I’m glad to be seeing it in a photo. Be careful. Okay? I don’t want to have to look at nasty photos of spider bites.
I love the garden photos.
And Amy looks very sweet with her Poppy.
You TOTALLY deserve the award. Ah, but so does Tiff. Gonna go find that coin……
Dinas last blog post..Rolf Harris (Thanks, Fe)
Isaac is beautiful, that spider is creepy, and I’m glad Amy is getting along with her new baby brother!
(Mine came along when I was four, and I wasn’t too pleased with the drop in attention!)
merrymishapss last blog post..weekly winners
So sweet congratulations!
My brother came along when I was 2 and I dont actually remember a lot of it, only that my mum got a lot of nice food in the hospital that she shared! We are very close and always have been!
I hope my bubby is as beautiful as yours!!! (I am so sick of waiting already!!!) Take plenty of photos then you can show them to his girlfriends when he is 16! Lol for the walking-around-with-no-top-on-thing! You were teasing the poor baby boy!!!
I would have the house done as soon as possible. They are nasty things and they like bricks and rocks and pipes! My parents had an infestation of white tail spiders once…I found a squished one in my bed once which mad me worry as I must have rolled on it in my sleep!
The smiling photo is beautiful…and the one of Amy and your Dad.
Tanyas last blog post..EEK
I love newborn pictures. Congratulations! The spider shot is so clear – and just a bit scary.

Leslies last blog post..Haiku Clue: Can You Guess The Candy I’m Craving?
OF COURSE that’s a smile!
I love the first one.
Hyphen Mamas last blog post..Let the chaos commence!
What a beautiful little boy! Glad Amy’s getting better – I knew she would settle down! Hows that spider??? I don’t think we get those here, but we do get Violin spiders and their bites are also nasty.
Janet Bs last blog post..Not me Monday!
That spider shot is way cool. But the baby shots. Perfection.
I’m such a sucker for babies.
And such a weenie when it comes to spiders.
God, he’s gorgeous!!!!!!!!!
Is that spider the same as a black widow? They look very similar. We have them all over our yard. Blech.
Kats last blog post..Weekly Winners
Oh my god, his little tiny fingers! AHHHH. Too much to bear. Anyway, congrats on both the baby (kind of a big deal) and the Bloggies (a WAY big deal). And thank god you killed the spider, although I still imagine your giant spider out there traipsing around somewhere. YUCK.
Cats last blog post..I Could Call It "Dreds of Death", But That Seems Too Obvious
Those red backs look like our US black widows… Very poisonous and scary!
Issac is super cute and yep that is a great smile he is sporting. Amy looks so grown up now too!
Talinas last blog post..Vlog: Why our bunny is named Boner

And my kids call their grandfather Poppy, too. Very unusual here. interesting.
OK, back to the regularly scheduled program LOL
