Stuff about ME!!!!!!!

Things are happening in my corner of the globe. I've been a busy little beaver - it seems as though any little thing I do is a BIG thing as it takes such an effort atm!
Here's a pic of Greg and Paul from last weekend... enjoying the sunshine in the grass out the front of our place.

We've only got less than 6 weeks until bub2 is due to arrive in the world...... We were lucky to have a 3rd ultrasound this week awwww... saw bubs face and lots of other features. It seems as though bub is 'average size' which is how Greg was or a little bigger so we're planning for another c-section. This time we can actually plan for it and not go through almost full labour then major surgery! We've got names all picked out but we'll keep them mostly to ourselves until bub is born and we can make sure he/she looks like the name we've picked.

I'm feeling quite exhausted today more-so than I have in ages. I've been having leg cramps and backache - typical in late pregnancy, argh the joys of motherhood!!

I went shopping on both Thursday and Friday with Gregory. We met up with my mum who had Chelsea and did a few jobs before having a lovely afternoon tea of doughnuts, milkshake and cuppa. It was good to spend time with mum. She went with a group of others on motorbikes to Phillip Island last weekend and unfortunately a couple came off their bike - pillion ended up with a broken leg and in Wagga hospital. On the way home we picked up the scans from the radiologist of Bub2

Friday we went and bought some clothes (Target sale... yay!) I managed to buy some new clothes for Gregory and new bub and even myself and I didn't spend much at all!! I felt really proud of my purchases. Well... theres other stuff happening in the family - I think it was Tuesday week ago - I'm not really sure as time is all warped atm!

For those who know my little sister Pammie she moved to Wagga a few weeks ago with Beaux her b/f. (thats not the news....) The news is that the early morning of the day she was to start uni and Beaux his new job her flat caught on fire........ I'm not kidding!! A car caught on fire out the front of their place and caused their flat to catch alight. We're glad that they are both ok... very lucky they heard the noises of the car and were able to get out of the place.The whole place was inundated by smoke and ash and covered all their belongings in and out of cupboards. It is lucky that they were insured!! Most things will be replaced (basically all their stuff!) New electricals - tv, computers, microwave, camera etc.... and now finally the fridge too....also the lounge (nearly all the furniture), and their clothes and linen. They were lucky that they didn't have their new bed yet! The short of it all is that she is happy that she was insured - lets hope it doesnt take too long to get all the actual replacements!

Today (and last night), Paul has gotten stuck into tidy/cleaning up his room/office. It's to become 'our' room and needs to be some space to put some of my scrapbooking and school stuff there somewhere as my room is becoming bub2 room! Ah well the sacrifices that are made.... joys of parenthood We ended up taking a boot load of old computer parts and monitors etc to the tip today which is amazing! (they have a free e-waste trial dumping thing happening for the next month.... great incentive!) Hopefully we'll be able to move some things from my room tomorrow and be able to start really setting up the nursery.

Speaking of which... I've started going through clothes for little bub.... aww they so tiny!! I've got more in a cupboard but I'm still not sure what I'll need. Some of the clothes I had for Gregory were never worn due to his pavlik harness. (fingers crossed we won't need a harness for bub2!)

I've also been enjoying watching the boxset seasons of LOST 1 & LOST 2 while we d/l season 3. We're a few episodes ahead of the tv and theres so much more to it all than meets the eye! I'm intrigued by it all... those who also enjoy Lost know what I'm talking about. I've also been watching 24 too... the new season... we're up to episode 13 already! (yay to d/l-ing!!) it too keeps me wanting to know what happens next.

My darling hubby has been wonderful lately. On Mondays I even get some time 'to myself' so to speak. I've been heading to a Bible study group at my friend Naomi's. Theres so many different people from all different walks of life. I'm really enjoying the company and friendships I've started making. It's great to have some adult contact and stimulating conversations. It's also challenging me in a lot of areas of my life at home.

Anyhow... While Gregory is resting I'm gunna have a lay down too.... putting legs up and keeping them warm is apparently the go.... bummer huh? hehe. Anyhow... hope you have enjoyed hearing about MWA!! (coz usually its about Greg!! hehe)

This pic is of Chelsea and Gregory messing around last night when Grum Chelsea n Lynda came for dinner. They were playing so well together. Aww

(If you dont like muuuuushy stuff look away now )

Love you Paulie xoxox

Take care you lot Ikkus
