My house is very quiet this morning.... a little too quiet but I must enjoy it while it lasts. All I can hear is the birds going banana's in outside and the tv on quietly for miss g.... hmmm something's missing here....no jd! I last saw him at 4:30 this morning as I was waving him off. Where is he??? At work. Nope, not fishing, although he nearly left yesterday to go fishing. No, he got up at 4:00 a.m to get ready to go and plant some tree's. Not just a few... ALOT of tree's. It's the only work he could get after weeks for ringing up about jobs and no one returning his phone calls or promises of starting work and then nothing. The amazing thing to me is that he is prepared to do whatever it takes to keep some money coming in. We are pretty desperate at the moment with me not working. I'm proud of him no matter what it is he does. So as I sit here typing away in my comfy chair, my man is out there working up one hell of a sweat for what really is terrible pay for this little family. He's doing it so we can still be together. He doesn't want to be away at all at the moment. I think it has something to do with a few little kicks and bumps the other week. For the first time he felt wormy move around and I will never forget the look of sheer amazement on his face when he felt his daughter move. He was full of smile's and just sat there completely blown away. Jd then spent the next 10 minutes or so chatting away to my ever increasing belly. Ooohh wormy does love a good ol chat with her Dad and loves it when miss g sings to her. I think that I have a real family man on my hands here. I know that he's busting to meet wormy and me thinks he's gonna be one great big sook when she does arrive. He's also been trying really hard to connect with miss g who hasn't made it easy at all for him. They are making some progress though and miss g really does love having him around to tease hehe!!! I am one very lucky person to have found someone like jd. There are days where I wonder what it is that I have done to deserve someone so special.... I really couldn't tell you. He is trying so hard to be the best person he can be and I've noticed the change in him since he's been home. Sure, we have massive money worries, especially with wormy on the way but one thing I could never take away from him is the amount of effort he's putting in to make it all work. We are going to be really cash strapped for the near future but we have each other and to me that makes the world of difference. I think he's actually loving being home and having someone to come home to. Me, I love him with all my heart. He is the first man to treat me with respect, kindness, love and genuinely gives a dam about me and miss g. Jd has this habit of putting this enormous amount of pressure on himself to be better and better. Where we love him just the way he is. He just doesn't believe that someone could love him for him. Well I do and in time I hope he comes to understand that.

Now the peace and quiet that I am enjoying right now will disappear in about two day's.... my parent's are coming to stay for the next month. They had to move out of their rental property and couldn't find anywhere short term until they leave. Most of the rentals were around $400 a week... sheesh! So there's only one thing for it, they're coming here. Now, I don't mind really... the only thing is I have a really, really small house and we run out of hot water with just the 3 of us! Miss g and I even shower together every morning just to save hot water so how 5 of us are going to go I don't know. I love my mum and for purely selfish reasons I'm happy that for the last month before they go she's here. Miss g is over the moon that her nanna and papa are coming to stay. I'm trying so hard not to think about what it will be like without mum around but the mind does wander from time to time. I know I'll be ok but it will be tough for a while. So for the next 4 weeks life will be a little more hectic around here. It shouldn't be that bad though... Dad works pretty much 7 days a week and Mum works 4 days a week so I will still get some time to myself. Especially when miss g goes back to school next week.... oh the joy of school hahaha.

Well I suppose that's it really. Wormy is growing alot.... omg I look like I've swallowed three basketballs lol! She's a mover and a shaker that's for sure. I have my hospital appointment on the 16th of this month. Fingers crossed that everything is alright with wormy.

Take care of yourselves...

love to all,

fi, miss g, jd and wormy (the kickboxing queen!!!) xoxox
