26 weeks!


I know, I know I have been MIA for far too long. I will give you a run down of what has been happening.

Firstly this is a picture of my bulge at 26 weeks - I am now 30 weeks so the 10 week countdown has begun! I am feeling absolutely fine. I feel heavy but I make myself keep going. I did have a little scare on the weekend whereby I didn't feel my baby move for a couple of days so D. and I headed to the birthing suite of our local public hospital who monitored me and picked up our baby immediately. In fact it had the hiccups! I ended up staying the whole day as they picked up an infection in my pee so I had to have some fluids (drip) and antibiotics but all is good now.

I have ordered our cot, tallboy, mattress, car seat, pram/bassinet. My darling SIL has given me lots (I mean lots) of baby products so I don't need to buy any. I also have bought lots of little jumpsuits for baby but need a little more.

The house is coming along (no pics, sorry). The Stonemason's are to start on Monday, the bricklayers for the chimney will start on Saturday and finish on Sunday, the roofers are starting once the chimney is complete. It is all go but unfortunately not complete before our baby comes into the world so it looks like we will be living with the in-laws probaby until the end of this year. Doh!

My little newphew is a darling. My brother and SIL have had their ups and downs but you expect that with a newborn...I was going to give you an updated photo but his stupid aunty deleted his new photos!

Work has been extremely busy so I have had no time to even read your blogs....so sorry. Tell me what is happening with you all???
