Now I really do aspire to do what this lovely woman does. I would love for us to be on a more whole-foods diet and I would LOVE to be more self sufficient.
Hell, the next time we move somewhere I'm going to try find a place that has a nice sized yard so we can plant a vege garden, and so I can have my chickens. I've wanted chickens for a while.
This lovely woman has SO many great ideas and while it may take me a bit of adjusting, I'm hoping to put some of them into practice for myself.

I'm so...
Spoiled? Nah that makes me think of rotten fruit.
Spoilt? Is that even a word?
Nevermind.
I feel so lucky! My grandmother is quite seriously looking forward to meeting her great-grandchild and thus she is showering me with gifts. For the baby of course.
I have a full set of newborn clothes, all without even asking for anything. She's just been buying these things and giving them to me. It's awesome. It's like Christmas lol.
Since at this point there's no reason for me to buy any clothes, nana has that all sorted, I've been putting money into other baby related items like a nappy bucket (because I'm one of those nutty people who is going to be using cloth nappies, and not even Modern Cloth Nappies!), a bouncinette like this one but in black.
And a black, red and white baby gym with matching play mat.
I'm totally in love with the play gym/mat set.

Flutterbys
Not of the winged variety, but more of the uterine kind. I've been feeling little flutters and maybe wobbles since about 13 and a half weeks but now at 17+6 I'm definately feeling little kicks and nudges.
Nothing feels more random than a complete somersault, though I guess there are more to come in the coming months.
Seems to be that either baby REALLY doesn't like the laptop (or possible the wireless modem in the laptop that I cant seem to turn off) or I just have a bit more body awareness when I'm using the laptop. Weird, as you would think I would be more distracted by what I'm reading...
Anyway, it's late (or early) and I really should get to sleep.

They're going to hate me
*cheeky grin*
No, seriously, doctors, nurses and midwives are going to hate me.
At my last midwife appointment I asked my midwife about the routines, policies and procedures in the Delivery Suite. She looked a bit suprised and simply replied, "We talk about things like that when we talk about your birth plan"
Hmph. I'm already WRITING and INVESTIGATING my birth plan.
She didn't seem to like it when I told her THAT.
Yeah... They're going to hate me.

Long time no see...
Sorry it's been so long since I last posted, life just kind of got in the way and I kept procrastinating lol. Whoopsie. Doesn't help I forgot my password *blush*
So, quick catchup!
Baby is still ok, in fact s/he is doing well. I'm now 17 weeks and 2 days along. At almost 15 weeks I had a cerclage put in to stop my cervix from opening up early again. That went well and so far there have been no complications (fingers crossed that doesnt change!!)
The man thing and I have been discussing names, though honestly I dont think that we need any more to think about, we have 20 boys names and about 50 girls names... We should really concentrate on whittling down the ones we have now.
In two weeks and a bit we are having our anatomy scan (also known as the anomoly scan and the 20 week scan)and we are hopefully going to find out the sex of bubs.
In 3 weeks we are going to start Antenatal classes which should be interesting. I've been doing my own research into things and all I can say is OMFG is this a rather...contraversial subject. I think I'll get into this a bit more in later posts but for now I think I'll leave it at :O

Thanks but no thanks
So DF doesnt have a job anymore. After a week and a half of working for the company, they pretty much said to him "Thanks, but we dont need you anymore. Bye"
Grrr!!! It was so painful to see the man thing come home after being told that. We both had such high hopes for that job. Looks like it's back to the drawing board, yet again.
We never seem to be able to win.

Again
I'm back again. I keep forgetting to update, then when I do remember, I can never think of anything to say. Sorry guys :)
Well I'm still pregnant. Still have the sore boobs and the random other symptoms. Worrying a bit that it's all going to turn to shit on me, but still trying to keep my chin up.
It was supposed to be my due date yesterday for my son, so I've been feeling a bit sad and stuff like that. Trying to keep myself occupied and whatnot. The man thing and I spent a quiet day at home yesterday and watched dvds together. It was nice.
Anyway, I'll try to remember to update a bit more often.
