Hi everyone! I hope you've all had a fantastic weekend, and you and your families are well!

My apologies, I once again so far behind in Minti, having not been in here for a week or two! Been hectic, with Isabella's Birthday, catching up on TAFE homework, and just really drained from being pregnant, I'm finding it really challenging to keep up with everything at the moment!

All is well here! Isabella had a great Birthday and party. A shame the weather wasn't great for her party, but still the kids had a ball inside. She got lovely gifts from everyone too, and loved her Dora cake!

I'm loving being pregnant, just not enjoying the absolutely exhaustion that's coming with it right now! And I'm very light headed and my eyes cloud over every time I stand up too quick. I've had low blood pressure nearly all my life, so should be use to this, but really its a lot more intense than usual. Had the dating scan 8 days ago, it was lovely seeing Bean floating around in the sac! And the little flicker of the heart beat was magical. My EDD was brought forward one day to 9th April 2008. So all is going well!

Ok better head to bed! I will come back and read all your messages soon!

Goodnight, Ky * xo

I've come in here to wish a Happy 2nd Birthday to my beautiful little girl for tomorrow! Isabella you have brought so much magic, wonder and love into our lives. What you mean to your Daddy and I cannot be put into words, you are so special and dear to us. I'm sure we are going to have many more wonderful years with you, I look forward to every moment, no matter how challenging they are! May you have a special day tomorrow and a fun & exciting party on Sunday!

All our love to you now and forever, our beautiful daughter,

Love from Mummy and Daddy xox

Hi everyone, hope you're all having a great weekend!

Thank-you once again for the congratulations on my pregnancy. Its still sinking in! I have an ultrasound next SAT to give me the most accurate due date and see my Dr to find out if I have immunity to everything I need to be immune against, check my iron levels etc. Hopefully all will be well! And if I'm far along enough (I think at least 7wks) I'll hear bub's heartbeat! Magical.

Very noice to pop back in here and see an extra stripe on my shield, thank-you! Though I haven't been enough in here lately to deserve it lol.

Well finally got my aerobics exam out of the way today. It was ungraded, just a pass/fail mark... and I PASSED! So that was great. My practice paid off. And even then, I didn't think I'd practiced enough! But it feels like its all clicking now and I look forward to being fully qualified and instructing classes in front of lots of people... AGH!!!

The group fitness co-ordinator at my gym approached me yesterday and told me she wants to me to help instruct pregnancy classes when they start them in October! Very exciting! Great way for me to keep my foot in the door as far as instructing while I'm pregnant. And it will also give me extra exercises I can do throughout my pregnancy. So its all happening!

Have a great rest of the weekend everyone! Ky *

Hi everyone!

How have you all been? I’m finally back on Minti! I’ve missed you all! Thank-you for sending me all your fantastic messages and lounge comments while I’ve been away!

Qld was awesome! I’m already trying to plan my next trip back up there! Isabella and I had a jam-packed 5days up there. We stayed with my Mum and her partner in the highrise resort they’ve been managing for the past 5wks. Its across the road from the beach, such a beautiful spot. Only thing is we barely had time to go to the beach since we were catching up with everyone! Saw my Dad nearly every day we were up there, he hadn’t seen us in nearly a year so it was great catching up with him. Also saw my brother and his girlfriend a couple of times. My brother’s girlfriend is lovely, they make a great couple. They loved seeing us, my brother had a ball playing with Isabella. Also caught up with most of my good friends up there. It was such a great holiday, it made me realise how much I miss the Sunshine Coast, after I grew up there for nearly 12yrs. I’d love to move back up there one day.

Oh and I guess I have some news..... I’m PREGNANT! Did the test yesterday and the two pink lines came up bright and clear! I worked out I’m about 5wks pregnant and will be due around 10th April next year. I see my Dr on Monday, she’ll be able to confirm the dates for me. Its still sinking in, its great I’ve fallen pregnant during my second cycle off the pill! I told Isabella she’s going to be a big sister and "there’s a bub starting to grow in Mum’s belly!" She keeps wanting me to lift up my shirt to show her my belly and then she’ll give my tummy a kiss! She kisses absolutely everything so I’m not surprised! So I’m absolutely thrilled, just feeling a bit tired but otherwise fine so far. I didn’t really get morning sickness with Isabella, and had a fairly good pregnancy last time, so hopefully this time round will be just as good.

Anyways, I better get going. Thanks again for all your lovely messages and comments, I will catch up with you all and reply to your messages soon!

Hugs, Ky xo
