3 days to go......
(but im ready for bed right now, sorry... but i want to share a couple of photos first, just incase i go now... i'll come back asap...)
Well i was worried i wouldn't get this photo, not that i thought id go early, but i just kept putting it off & off..
As you can see, i 'forgot' to get my 38wk photo... oopppss...
I also weighed myself this morning and i have put on 11.2kgs this pregnancy..I think that is still pretty ok. I think i had roughly put on about 20kgs with Jordan, and i had had him by now..I think i have doubled my weight since being on Maternity leave... :o( No wonder with what i have been eating while at home... I guess cause i have nothing else to do, so im eating...
Well i do have things to do, but i can' be bothered and i just can't seem to do what i want anyhow cause of my BIG bump and my HUGE sore feet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My (short) tall boy arrived the other day (i thought it wasn't going to get here before baby arrived!!), yippeee!!!
So now the baby's room is complete!!! if you can call it that??!!
Thankfully we don't use our lounge room, but have just renovated it, it is sooooooooo nice... Anyhow, the bassinet is now in here (so is the computer) and my tall boy that i had ordered to put in my room, is now in here too.... Its not really a nursery, its not really a baby's room, its not decorated at all, but it is still a nice place for baby to sleep.. (its actually the best room in the house now..lol..)
(sorry its not very big)...
The colours of the walls are actually a white colour & the carpet is a real chocolate brown (they actually gave us the wrong shade, i like it, but Brendan doesn't) The only thing yet to do in here is the tiles above the fire...
I used my old camera to take these, so there not the best..
The carpet looks a little odd, cause its new, it shows up every single mark, ie. foot prints & all.. lol.. (but it is the same carpet we got in our bedroom in early Dec. last year and it doesn't do it anymore.. )
This is a really old house, just more modern now.. lol.. (well, we think so.. )
Wish all rooms could be this big (there are 12 lights in the ceiling, thats how big it is..lol..). Our rooms are big (being an old house, but imagine all b/rms being this big!! lol.)
I went shopping the other morning and bought a new U-shape pillow, ready for feeding.
I really want a new recliner to put in the corner of our 'baby's room', Brendan is thinking about it, but it wont be here before baby comes though.. I also then went to the new HUGE baby shop that just opened up in the next town... I was in there for what seemed like ages, (i was asked by about 4 ladies if i was right as i was just wandering around for ever).. i wish i had an open bank account to buy EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!i found a couple of cot sets i really liked, but thought i might just wait and see if baby is a boy or a girl and then decide. The bassinet is going to be used for as long as we can, so ive got time to pick out something when we know the sex... (i actually wanted a little lamp, but there was nothing that jumped out at me, or they were either too boyish or girlish, so i'll wait!!!) I did buy a little basket though (in the above picture), for my new cupboard though (it had a little cow on it..lol..)... I couldn't buy nothing... lol
Ok, im going to bed now...
i'll try & catch up better soon......xx

4wks to go...
Well i have been a very bad blogger lately..
Everything has been up in the air for the past 5wks and not in a good way either..
Baby wise, all is going well..
I have been having extremely strong and LOTS of branxton hicks, very OFTEN!!! but my midwife puts it all down to me being over worked & over stressed..
I have started Maternity Leave now, WOOOHOOO!!!!!!!!! and i have to admit, even though i have still been having them, not as much as before...
From my most recent photo, it looks like i have grown, but i haven't actually (according to my measurements at checkup) but baby has dropped a little bit, so that throws my bump out of shape too..
After sitting with my Nan for 4wks, almost every single day and sometimes over night (sleeping in her recliner) she had had enough of fighting it and passed away at 10.10pm Friday 4th of January 2008... She was in so much pain, (but thankfuly was medicated enough for her not feel it) so she is much better off, being at rest now...
It is still so hard to comprehend that she has gone. It sure has been a struggle lately.
We had her funeral last Wednesday and it was just beautiful..
It was pretty hard to see the kids break down and be so upset for the whole thing, but they needed to be there as they were close to Nan and loved her very much..
Jordan was the hardest to watch, as when we (just the family) got up to put a rose each on the casket, he just broke down. That broke my heart (again)...
Mum is going well, but she is finding it hard at certain times. Thats understandable though. It will just take time for everyone to come to terms with it all..
Reno's wise...
The lounge room is looking EXCELLENT.. it looks like something in a display home, if i do say so myself.. lol
We have 12ft ceilings and they are VERY decorative (hence, taking Brendan AGES to paint), but they are so worth it..
Brendan ripped up the carpet a couple of weeks ago and the floor boards are beautiful..
We're just waiting for the sander/staining guy to come tomorrow or Friday to give us a quote and hopefully it wont be too long and he can get stuck into them..
Not that we use that room that much, it is a big chunk of the house and is right THERE in your face when you walk in, so it will be good to have it finished..
Plus that is where the baby will be sleeping too.. :o)
Well the kids and i are having a lazy day today. I really would love to go for a drive to the beach or something, but i think its going to be to hot today (that makes sense, doesn't it, NOT!!!) i just don't want to have to be sitting around in the heat!!!! OH and an icecream from Cold Rock would be just devine.. But, i just can't be bothered going anywhere today... lol
So, a lazy day at home is on the cards i think...........................xx
