Things that make me happy…

A clean fridge. It’s all shiny and looks brand new again. Ok, so it wasn’t that bad before to be honest but it’s been on my To-Do list for awhile. It all started thanks to Mum as she did a clean before she left this morning. Vacuumed, dusted, washed sheets and made beds. She knew [...]

Shhhh… yet to be revealed.

Ok so I missed the exact day I’ve done the rest of the Bump Pix but we’ll live. A few days off won’t matter too much. I don’t think doing it on Saturday works, I seem to forget. I’m going to go back to doing them every Friday, a day early but who cares. At [...]

My Little Sweat Shop

This is my Mum hard at work, sewing curtains for LM’s room. They’re so perfect and I know they’d be quite pathetic if I was doing it myself. When it comes to sewing I’m all about the shortcuts but Mum is a perfectionist and the results prove it. We’ve had quite a nice weekend. Lots [...]

Putting the plan on paper…

12:02AM | April 25, 2009 | 7 comments

It’s not to scale. The furniture only resembles what I have. It is a sketch after all. I needed to get my ideas out of my head and onto paper so I could share them with Mum and Steve. I drew this on Wednesday night before our big shopping trip at Spotlight on Thursday. I’m [...]

Nursery Inspiration

Steve and I have had discussions about the nursery and how we want it to look and operate. It took awhile to get it out of him but I did and we have agreed to some things and tossed others out the window. It was really nice to talk about it together and share ideas. [...]

Nursery Art Swap

My lovely friend, teacher and artist Rhi is making me some beautiful blocks similar to the one’s pictured above. She made these for a friends new baby and has since been asked to make several more for up coming baby showers and personalised gifts. I thought they were so sweet I just had to have [...]

Celebration!

01:40PM | April 20, 2009 | 9 comments

Today is my blogs 3rd birthday and I celebrated by having cake for breakfast, LM convinced me it was OK. Since the 20th of April 2006 I have been blogging my little heart out. 1417 posts to date. I can’t believe I’m about to start my 4th year and there are no signs of me [...]

Charlie’s Girlfriend

11:56AM | April 20, 2009 | 1 comment

Tipsy, Charlie & Toby I was quietly tapping away at my computer, LM and I chilling out to some rainforrest tunes when I heard barking. I knew it was Tipsy, the girl on the other side of the back fence. I thought nothing of it until I heard Toby do his dominant bark. It was [...]

Steve’s Big Day

04:34PM | April 19, 2009 | 6 comments

Wow. I can’t believe we’re already at this stage. The room has been ready, bare and waiting to be filled with baby goodness and thankfully it’s started. We were both prepped and ready to construct this important piece of furniture (I was the foreman) and I’m glad I was there as there was no way [...]

This is me, just before jumping in the car and driving over to Coogee to see David, Susie & Chloe. It was a long drive but worth it. It’s a pity we didn’t have more notice that they were coming otherwise we would have booked a hotel room and made a weekend of it. Oh [...]

Sick Daddies and Happy Babies

04:08PM | April 17, 2009 | 5 comments

Steve’s sick. The house smells like Eucalyptus Oil and scented tissues. Poor bugger. We spent most of the day at the Dr’s getting medicine and I wandered off to buy baby socks and photo albums. Above is all the clothes LM has to date. The bamboo cotton sock (sooo soft, I love bamboo blends) and [...]

Nursery Layouts editted to add links

04:38PM | April 15, 2009 | 11 comments

Ok, this is what I’m thinking for the layout for Little Mez’s room. The room is quite narrow and long so the furniture is kinda set up like a galley. It took ages to get the measurements of the room and all the furniture, then convert to feet and inches so I could use a [...]

The unveiling…

Don’t we have the sweetest little baby. We had our scan and everything went so well. Steve and I were beside ourselves with excitement. We watched the screen in amazement. So much had changed in 2 weeks. We also found out I’m actually 20wks and 3days but that may be just because we’ve got a [...]

Happy Easter

Isn’t this sweet. Allison sent me this cute little customised picture on facebook for Little Mez for Easter. I love that one is a boyish colour and one is a girlie colour. Very fitting as we only have 2 more sleeps till we find out. I hope everyone is happy hanging out with family and [...]

Shindigs and Pretty Outfits

This week has been pretty full on with social events left and right. On Wednesday I took Alice out to Rouse Hill for lunch and a couple of hours shopping. On Thursday Wez took me out for a pub lunch and a really good chat. On Friday I spent the afternoon with Casey trying on [...]

I’m liking the silhouette photo, I might have to do this every week. I’m loving that my butt sticks out just as much as my bump. Makes me feel a little balanced lol. Even my boobs look different thanks to my new bra. Better than some of those Madonna/Traffic Cone contraptions they tried to put [...]

Got Milk?

04:18PM | April 8, 2009 | 7 comments

Well I got myself some Hot Milk. Totally gorgeous maternity lingerie that fits like a glove and was the kind of self esteem boost I needed after yesterday… but I’ll talk about that later. Right now I want to gush about my GORGEOUS bra. I resisted modeling the bra myself and scanned a pic from [...]

Happy Easter Cake

Isn’t it just darling! I’m quite proud of my efforts. To tell you the truth I went a bit over board for a work BBQ but once I started I couldn’t help myself. Plus I had a few new piping nozzles I’ve been meaning to try out. I’m really chuffed of my buttercream icing too, [...]

Toby & Charlie

05:31PM | April 5, 2009 | 2 comments

Toby (5 at Xmas) & Charlie (3 in May) I’ve gotten quite a few questions about Toby & Charlie lately; “How are they coping? Have they noticed any changes? Have they treated you differently?” etc and I thought it was really interesting. They are of course wonderful but I have noticed Toby is a bit [...]

Thank the people up above for Jacq teaching me how to use bronzer/blusher. Since I’ve gotten all “puffy” it’s been a godsend. I think I have it down-pat now. It looks a little more defined in person. I’ve also gotten into the habit of putting a touch of foundation on my nose and under eye [...]

Told you I’d Try

Power pole in front of my house. Rain on our car. Flowers soaking up the sun. Old inner spring baby mattress dogs used to sleep on.It did have stuffing, Charlie ripped it all out :P Toby wagging his tail and Charlie getting a closer look.

I’m going to TRY

If my camera could pull a face right now, that’s what it would look like. Poor little abandoned Niki. I do love her, a lot actually but my brain seems otherwise occupied… can’t think why. After posting about all those baby books yesterday (I’ve finished 2 so far) I thought I should probably read a [...]

A bit of light reading…

Cute hey! lol. We got our photos today and I love them. What I love even more is that well see Little Mez again in less than 2 weeks. Man, this cracks me up every time I see it. Steve has this pic as his screen saver at work lol. Now here’s a cutie photo. [...]
