My Cervix…

… is “fine”. My placenta is in a good position, my cervix is fine but I just have to continue taking it easy so I don’t have another bleed. No sutures, nothing but rest. I can do that. It was lovely to share the ultrasound with Steve. I think he got a kick out of [...]

It’s started…

You know how I went to dinner with the Crossroads girls last Wednesday and that I had a lovely time… well it’s been ruined. I checked my account as I do every Monday to make sure the debits all come out on time over the weekend and to double check the amount of cash available. [...]

We couldn’t help ourselves…

I’m starting to feel less and less like a zombie these days. Steve took me to Rouse Hill for a bit of look around. A nice way to kill an afternoon. Babies were everywhere… bless their tiny cotton socks. I introduced Steve to Cotton On Kids…As soon as I saw this I laughed out loud [...]

I have no where to go today but I dressed up just for this post. Do you feel special? I do. Steve will feel special because I’m not in my PJ’s in the afternoon… even though they’re ever so comfy. So… 17wks today! Every Friday I think “Wow, I have so long to go til [...]

Dani’s Big Day Out

Today was a huge day. I slept in til 10am, surfed the net for awhile, had a nice cool shower and got ready for my hair appointment. It was a really hot day today. Stinking actually. I left the car at the shopping center to get detailed and walked up the mall. Lou was wonderful [...]

Love Fest

Today is a very special day. 2 years ago today Steve and I were married and the memory still fills me with bliss. We’ve been together for 6 years and the wedding truly was a celebration of “our true love”, as Steve said during his speech. I couldn’t be any luckier. We have a happy [...]

All by myself… don’t wanna be…

So Mum has gone and the days are quieter. I wasn’t well yesterday so I laid low and pottered about the house. Steve had his first official soccer game yesterday. They lost. 1-3. He came home ranting about there being no official referee, what do I pay all this money for, blokes just bagging each [...]

Bedding & Storage

Babies are expensive. Ok, so they really don’t have to be but when we keep saying things like “investment/quality of product/quality of life/why not?/miracle…” we’re left with a bill that we don’t seem to mind paying at all. Even Steve. The man that is opposite to lavish, would nod in sincere agreement and say yes, [...]

This is my GORGEOUS plum dress that I got from Kmart yesterday. I’m so in love. It fits like a glove, has plenty of ‘give’ and to my biggest surprise… even has breastfeeding holes lol. I’m sure they’ll come in handy later. If you’re interested it also came in Teal and was only $29.95. I [...]

Checking things off the list…

This afternoon Steve, Mum and I went shopping. Man, it was tough but I think we did a really good job. Babies Galore came up trumps, we were really pleased. Steve was just glad it was over for the day. We managed to get: Stroller Car Seat Cradle Mattress & Linen Body Pillow (Kmart) Plum [...]

Purging, friends and other tid-bits…

09:27AM | March 19, 2009 | 2 comments

I know some of you understand the severity of Mum and I’s purging capabilities, but the rest of you seriously have no idea. We’re not just donating the odd book or vase, this clean out is colossal. We’ve been to the Op Shop twice now, given things to away, put them on the curb and [...]

See… I’m smiling!

Today I slept in till midday and decided I would attempt to leave the house and make some effort to straighten my unruly hair. I did just that with Mum in tow. We donated a big box of stuff to my Op Shop (trinkets, glassware, paintings, picture frames, blow up guitar) and then made our [...]

Blame it on the hormones…

I know I should be on top of the world and I am when I remember I’m pregnant but to be honest, most of the time I forget and just think “Man I’m lazy/fat/cranky/pimply/gassy”. I know I’m pregnant, I’ve seen Little Mez, I’ve got the swollen boobs, the crazy skin, dry hair and anyone would [...]

Arting Up the Joint

11:15AM | March 14, 2009 | 4 comments

I finally got some art up in the studio. Sure, I wish the frames were a little larger but I’m working with what I’ve got and I think it looks fine. Google image search and beautiful greeting cards really can make beautiful works of art for free. The great thing is I can continue to [...]

Thank goodness for a wardrobe filled with dresses. Jeans are almost a no-go item. I’ll invest in some soon for winter though. I’d be crazy not to. I’ve been comparing my bump to others online and I think I’m showing so much already as I already had a bit of a tummy in the past [...]

It’s a process…

This is where Steve will find me most days, sitting in my comfy chair grinning a big hello. I can’t believe it used to look like THIS. There is a lot less clutter but the character of the room seems to be lacking. Something I’m trying to rectify. Slowly. The room has always needed curtains. [...]

Whatcha Wearing Wednesday

Well since I’ll have so much free time I thought I might jump on the bandwagon and join in on all the fun. I’m inspired by her. It’ll be fun to see how I dress up my growing bump too. Today I decided my PJs needed a break and I cracked out the ‘real’ clothes. [...]

Is it too early to nest?

05:01PM | March 10, 2009 | 6 comments

That’s what this feels like. Things are being organised, purged and cleaned. Room by room. Maybe we’re just excited about turning our adult house into a family home. The clutter is almost gone. I’m serious about the whole purging thing. Almost ready to take some photos but we’ve decided to also move the lounge and [...]

Zzzzzzz

So my house arrest is going well. All I seem to do is nap and lay about. If bub is happy, I’m happy. Steve is being super dad and Mum is keeping me entertained. It’s really nice having her here. i know I’ve been a bit naughty not blogging but I thought I’d post a [...]

Mama Mez at 14wks This is a request from my sister Stephanie, a week by week catch up of what’s going on inside the ol’ bump-a-roo. I know a lot of my readers already have children but for a few it’s a totally new journey… and one I’m quite happy to talk all day about. [...]

More needles & wee…

The ultrasound was excellent today. I really wish Steve hadn’t missed out. I got my bloods done first and thankfully the lady got it all on the second go. I was a bit dizzy and had Subway for lunch and watched all the pregnant ladies parading their bumps about. It’s like I’m on constant “bump [...]

Hello Mum & Dad!

Here’s Little Mez, such a busy active baby. Did you know you can take a USB drive and they record the ultrasounds onto it for you?!?! We didn’t but we wont forget for next time. You might be able to see in the bottom left corner that Little Mez is 13 weeks and 5 days. [...]

The "Bones"

How I plan to combine two usually separate spaces into one. Above is my studio now AKA: Office/Guestroom. Lucky I have a big desk that’s all I can say! I think it will work well for everyone involved. You see now why I have to get rid of all that bulky furniture, we seriously have [...]

I’ve turned into one of those people…

06:52PM | March 2, 2009 | 6 comments

… who only talks about all things “baby”. All the time. Any topic. As long as it’s “baby”. I’m starting to annoy myself. Thankfully Steve is a willing participant and even gives more things to think about. We’re a team like that. So last Friday we had the ultrasound appointment and got the wonderful crazy [...]
