Shekh ma shieraki anni

Cold and windy on the mountain today. Trip into Ipswich and saw our bank lady Michelle who sorted us out with a personal loan at lower interest to pay off the car loan, get rid of Toyota Finance and expensive car insurance. Yay!

Had a look at a really good change table for Durian that is also a bath and good storage for just $150 at Target. So, there are cheap options out there. Plus we found a super cool cords and jacket. Haven't bought anything yet though.

Just finished painting the outside of the caravan green, so now it looks like something from Mash. Tomorrow I am spraying some stencils of sun and stars on it, to spruce it up a bit. Will post piccies when done.

Next weekend I am going to Baby Expo with Annie and kiddies but mainly looking forward to just hanging out with them really. The expo is just an excuse :) Oh and now less than 100 days to go :)

25 weeks or so

25 weeks and a few days and finally look very pregnant, like, no doubt about it pregnant. It's a definite improvement from beer gut :) Restructuring at work has caused a bit of stress but trying to not take things personally, even though it sometimes is hard. At the same time as wishing for my maternity leave to start, I also dread the notion of not working fulltime, well, not working at all. I am such a restless person so have to make an effort to do other things, even though I might be tired.

I wish for a healthy 15 weeks to go, then a healthy baby boy that fingers crossed is as sweet as Marcus. I know it's not a comparison anyone can or should make, but Marcus is a testament to the awesome parenting of my beautiful sister and her husband and such a comfort for me to be able to turn to for help soon. Love you.
