Baby bump and french guys

Have two french dudes at our house. They helped Paul do some work today in exchange for a bbq and some french butter biscuits from Aldi :) They very much liked my Manu impressions and commented the lights from Laidley lookes like Las Vegas, hihi.

Here is my bump too. 22 weeks today I believe and Paul felt a really strong kick from Durian last night.

Can you feel the love tonight...

My little boy and my big girl :) I love them so much.

Cold

It was a cold night last night. Paul even said he had brain freeze, never heard of brain freeze from low temps :) He has a tendency to dramatise things tho. Hoping his son won't take after him, but they will most likely both be Virgos so...better be prepared. So between his two shifts today he did some serious fireplace installation of price hunting. Lowest we could find installed is around $1700 but have to pay off solar panels first. At least the panels are off setting the heaters we have to run in the meantime. Luckily it will be getting warmer by the time Durian arrives. He is kicking up a storm by the way, has been the last week or so and I feel him every day. He seems to like to kick on my bottom right side, his favourite spot.

Pauls parents were here last weekend and it was full on but very nice to see them again, they are quite easy going and certainly make me feel very loved and appreciated which is very nice. I really believe they know how happy Paul is and how good we are for each other, even though we sometimes drive each other crazy :) Isn't that what passion is anyway ? Hihi.



Public Holiday for me today ( Ipswich Ekka ) so had the day at home. Started cleaning out the nursery to remove all non baby related things and since the room has barely been touched since we moved in it was very dusty and subsequently I have sneezed all day and am very tired now. But at least the room looks better and it was so nice to look through some of the stuff we have been given, some little onesies and socks that are tiny. I want to get a cot in there, I think it will feel more real then. I still can't really believe what we have started here... :)

Bloody Cats

Gave up on finding the little book that had the password to my blogger account so had to go through the pain of resetting everything. Got there in the end :)

The skin on my ankles, back, parts of my leg and arms are aching from a million mozzie bites I got while spending 45 mins trying to convince dear Smudge to come inside and not be eaten by a dingo. In the end I had a fit and burst into tears and couldn't cope anymore so I went inside and then she came to the door and when I opened it she just waltzed in. So I had another bawl and a shower and now I feel better, only achy from the bites I am trying not to scratch.

I get angry so easily and I feel so inside out at the moment. Find it easy to argue and to fall apart and just want to give up. Incredibly overwhelmed by everything and I feel massive and uncomfortable. Everyone says I am so big for my weeks which feels horrible because I freak out I am going to become huge. I have hot flushes and can't keep a conversation without feeling bothered by people, even people I know.

Have to try to keep positive though, even when it's hard and try not to stress about things. Not good for me or baby. ANZAC day tomorrow, so will get a sleep in at least.

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.
