Thin slices of rye

Monday again and no motivation at work whatsoever. Everyone just annoys me and I just want to say "sorry, I am sick and going home" I get frustrated with the lack of work ethics around me and I feel bad for asking to leave half an hour early so end up staying back and then rushing and then the next person doesn't even ask, they just say " I am leaving a bit early today". I suppose I shouldn't be angry at them really, it's not their fault I am a wuz :)
Very tired and very fat! Well, havent put on any weight in like 3 weeks but my belly is growing, especially after meals. I know my digestive system has slowed right down which may be why I am feeling so sluggish and hot and bothered. Thank God for aircon :)
Very excited my favourite little guy got his Harry Potter wand and he loves it. Just made me smile the whole way home it did. I love surprises to that's my favourite thing to do to him, out of the blue, one day just coming home from school and there it is, a present! Plus I think he is such a good boy and deserves all I can give him!
Moving soon, and half the house is packed, the rest is not. Half the skirtings are scrubbed, half are not. But will get there in the end and then we have all of Easter to relax...ehhh...build fences I mean :)

Tired with lots to do

So tired, so much to do this weekend, pack and clean and try to get some sleep. But hey, bub is doing beautifully, that's all that matters now.

Good week

The boss has been away so I have been acting Manager for the week which means lots to do and an overall better mood in the office. There are a lot of changes coming up, some which will shock people, but all needed I think. I only have about 5 months to go I spose, so wont really be my problem. Don't want to count my baby before it's hatched but I haven't had any signs of anything being wrong so quietly thinking it's all good. Just hope blood test and scans say the same.

Belly button

I have started to get odd pain sort of behind my belly button and been worrying about it all day and not game to google anything pregnancy related at work. Turns out I am not alone and just pains from stretching because my uterus and baby is growing. Wonderful :)

Great weekend!

Had the best time in Strathpine yesterday! Got off to an early start on the long drive and escaped all traffic, then had a really nice BBQ with a friendly face from the past and his friend who sounded just like Jamie Oliver. I couldn't stop myself asking him to say "yoghurt" :) I love how poms say that word!

Then Markie and I played some Harry Potter on the Wii and then I had some really yummy tuna rice bake and we finished the night off with a midnight feast! Me and Markie built our own diagon alley, with shops and tricks and magic and fire and ate yummy mango. The best ever. Then I felt a bit crook this morning so headed off early and then I took the exit to Redcliffe instead of the M1 and got lost for a bit. Just think my mind is a bit all over the place. Came home and had a rest, then went to the Plant Expo at Ipswich where Paul managed to convince me to buy more fruit trees and he spoke to everyone for ages and my feet were aching so bad. But I have learnt to be patient. Just finished mowing and whipper snipping most of the yard now, not long until we move and so much to do. Gah.

Boss is on holidays next week so I have to manage the place. I can't even manage myself at the moment, not going to be a good week but hoping it means I will be busy and time with fly. Have a new scan date to look forward too!

Bloody hell

So,after waiting for this day to come for weeks and weeks, taking the time off work and drinking one litre of water I stand busting to pee in the line at Radiology. When its finally my turn the lady goes " We can't do this here, this is for a nuchal, we don't have the staff or the machine to do it" I don't even really react because this is so typical of my life it almost hurts a bit. So, she rings Ipswich for me and they tell me it's too early and I have to be at least 12 weeks and 5 days. So, booked in for Wed 20/3, which means I will be 13 week and 3 days or something. My doctor told me to ring and book at Gatton and when I asked if I had to go to Ipswich she said no, Gatton does them. So I ring Gatton and make the appointment and tell them what it's for. They say nothing. Very frustrating. Then had to go to Inala to look at a car, still upset and just sad I didn't get to see my baby. Starting to doubt he/she is in there.
Taking it easy tonight and going to Strathpine tomorrow morning instead when I have had some rest and can deal with the drive.

I like

From Tree of Life

...this shirt...a lot...and it would work with a singlet under when I get my bump because its a sort of short t-shirt. I like a lot :) So, dear sister, perhaps we could swing past this weekend?

Tired

So tired last night and emotions are so uncontrollable. I go from being angelic to horrible with no time in between. Then I couldn't sleep because all I could see before my closed eyes was my cat Samson's face smiling like the cat in Alice in Wonderland inside a rose where all the petals where different colours and glowing bright. So, got up and watched some bizarre pseudo reality show on 7Mate about some guys trying to buy a canoe off this guy who had so many canoes but emotional attachments to all of them. Eventually my freaky cat flower image faded and I dragged myself back to bed. Both Smudgie and Samson followed me into the bed, then out again and then back in. Poor hubby must have felt so lonely. One more day at work, then a long weekend with some sleep in. Worried about the car thing, hubby and I have such different views on what we should do and argue about it, which is so unlike us. I think the pregnancy together with all the buying a house stuff is getting to us both. Can't wait for the pregnancy to be open and happy, not feel like an impending doom. Oh, tried to drink some Coke today after many weeks without it and tasted like shit. So, that's good I guess.

I need a new car

After much debating yesterday we decided to skip Southbank, crowds and public transport and go to Mt Cootha botanical gardens instead. Paul got some cutting and hid them in his umbrella and then we had fish and chips at Rainworth, which was nice. Yummy :) We had to drop back some movies so went through Laidley and then past Sun and Stars and boy did we get excited when we say the SOLD sign. Then 15 metres into the drive way we realised we would most likely get bogged in my little hatch back so now I have to find out if I can swap or upgrade or I dont know what to get a 4WD. We will be fine for winter but between now and then and for next summer I dont know...

Tantrums

Threw an absolute tantrum last night, like a 2 year old. Poor Paul, I don't know how he puts up with me at the moment. I have to try to focus on staying positive but sometimes I just lose my cool. The reason? He cooked filo pastry with sweet potatoes, cheese and spinach but when he served it to me he realised he forgot to put in the bacon. Which of course to me is so bad I had to cry and shut myself in the room for 5 mins with him at the door going "I can fry some bacon for you if you want" and me yelling " I don't want any f**king bacon". Haha, he did forgive and I ended up having two helpings, because it was so nice. Psycho. Good thing the 12 week mark is close, my emotions should turn to a more positive vibe...
