awww Grub never mind, although all this DTD talk I reckon your DH will barely make it through the door and you'll be pouncing on him, he'll think all his Christmases have come at once YAY for only 2 more weeks though!

Miss Magpie: CONGRATULATIONS on the safe arrival of your little man! Hope everything settles in soon for you!

Smithy: thank you so much for the visuals, I have these images of two bellies in my brain Love love love your little tum though! Thanks for giving us a good laugh with your story though!

Grennslw: For $17 they'd want to wash your car too! And valet service at that! Nothing wrong with the sarong, I do it often. Although ATM just as happy wandering around in bra & undies. Have warned people to call first before they come around and if they choose to ignore well they can just enjoy the sight LOL. Oh but I do have to remind myself every now and then, almost caught myself going out in my undies to bring in the bins this morning!

Bella: Hope you're doing ok, keeping our for you that there's movement at the station soon!

to everyone else.

AFM: well I must be one of the few who are not on the casmel-riding bandwagon. I'm unfortunately just not enjoying it that much right now. A bit uncomfortable with the belly and still a little paranoid that something might go wrong. Luckily for me DH has been working huge hours lately (he normally does about 13hrs a day but last week threw in a couple of 15hr days too) so it's the last thing he wants when he gets home. I was all for it at the end of the first tri but now...

Had a busy weekend, had my first Braxton Hicks start on Saturday! Right in the middle of watching a wedding! Luckily they weren't too bad. I was a little worried that they had started too early but did some research and apparently you can get them as early as 2 months but anything from 20 weeks on is about average. Had some more this morning that were a little stronger and I stopped what I was doing and got a couple of funny looks but just made out like nothing was happening. It's interesting to know what they feel like though.

Stage 1 of nursery decoration has commenced! Went to Sydney to visit DH eldest son & family and picked up our gorgeous change table console. It's awesome, has 3 drawers on one side, 2 cupboard doars on the other and the change table has a slider that opens to reveal a slot to put a baby bath! I'm just wondering though, it's timber and I really wanted white, but it's also a little scratched so I'm thinking we will prob paint it white. Also picked up all my soft furnishings so hopefully over the next few days I'll get started putting things together, then next week I'll be going cot shopping with my mum.

Anyway better stop rambling, just got a phone call with an urgent job assignment that needs to be done in the next couple of hours and they're going to double my fee for the inconvenience!

Have a great day & keep cool! Catch you all soon!
