What we have been up to :)

Comment Published at 17:0117:0114 comments14 comments24 Visits24 VisitsReport

We have been doing heaps as usual.

Last weekend my friend Lisa and I went to the Pregnancy, Baby & Child Expo which was at the Brisbane Convention Centre. We had a ball and came back with bags and bags full of goodies and samples. We were actually there for 4 hours alltogether!Lisa got some good things for toilet training her son Rhuben, I got some little toys for the baby and we also got some new food things to try for the kids and other bits and pieces that were cheap as we walked around.We are so going to go every year, all the displays were having specials so some things were much cheaper than you would normally be able to buy them.

What else have we been doing? Well I am still working 2 days a week. Next week is my last week though, thank god, honestly I am just so exhausted and my back is in agony by the end of the day. I do have a good work though, they dont mind me having a quick lay down to rest and are always checking on how I am feeling and stuff. Its just a shame they dont have a bed for my lunch time siestas!!

We are still going to mothers group each thursday. I am not going today becuase I am just too tired and still sore from yesterday, but I am going to catch up with my friend whos house it was at this week tomorrow and she is going to take some pregnancy photos for me! So excited, she is so artistic and creative, they will be great!

Daniels parents came up last weekend to watch Caitlin so I could go to the expo and the next day Daniel and his dad had to pick his brother up from the airport at 6am! How terrrible, needless to say I didnt go! And Caitlin woke up and went straight to Nanny who was sleeping in the lounge room (only place the mattress will fit now we have the cot in the spare room) so I even got a sleep in! Bonus! We all then went to the markets and had a wonder and I got some books from teh op-shop and a pair of Bonds jeans for Caitlin that are in like perfect condition! YAY! I love our local opshop, they always have good books, and they open on Sundays for the markets too.

We are nice and organised for the baby now, I am feeling ready and now am just waiting! Still scared out of my brain about the birth but I just keep telling myself that they are all different and it just cant be as bad as last time! LOL! (Dont you DARE tell me anything different!)

We have a dolls bassinett that Daniel is cleaning up and my mum has brought her a "baby" with a bottle and everything and we are going to give them to Caitlin as pressies from the baby and so she can feed and put to bed her baby when I do. Hopefully this works! I think new toys is a good thing though, and Daniel is going to take her shopping for somehting to give to the baby in the hospital (after she meets her becuase she still doesnt quite understand what is happening yet).  Feeling prepared and as organised as we can be!

Hey Emz

yeah I only have just over 2 weeks left now. Getting pretty exciting!
I would love a back massage! Daniel is shocking, he does some dodgy little poke and thinks he is done!
I go the pics done today, they look great, I will upload them soon!
Hope you are getting some rest yourself!

Re: What we have been up to :)

Oh Annie I am so excited about having 2 days home, and not just home, home without Caitlin. I know it sounds awful but I havent actually had a day to myself since last year when I first put her in day care and stayed home the first week so she didnt need to be in all day on her first days. I'm going to be able to sleep!

Exp in Brissy!!!!!  OMG!  How did I miss that one? lol.  I'm sure I could've found the energy for a sneaky trip away! lol.

It certainly sounds like you are prepared for your baby.  I still haven't packed my hospital bags yet, and feeling as though I'm not going to last much longer! lol. 

Our girls all have their own baby dolls and they have play time with my belly too, so hopefully, Caitlin will be ok for you.  I'm sure she will be a mummy's little helper! lol.

Good luck with it all, and not long to go now!

Re: What we have been up to :)

hmmm, the hospital bag, not there yet either! I cant, I am wearing the things that I need to pack! I dont have spare trackies or PJ's or anything so its probably going to be a last minute chuck in!

I cant believe you missed the Expo, I should have posted it in the Bulletin Board, but I saw ads for it all the time, but I do watch alot of nighttime TV!

Well at least if you dont have much longer you finally have one that doesnt go over! Good luck!

Re: What we have been up to :)

Your blogs about you Daniel and Caitlin always make me smile!  What a lovely time you have been having, and aren't the 'outlaws' awesome to spoil you by letting you sleep in!  Ours spoil us at the moment too, but we got up (even Stephen), earlier today to wish NannaSylv happy birthday! 

I bet you got a ton of goodies, and I am surprised that a mattress fits anywhere in the house right now, it must be getting pretty full.

Take care of you pretty preggo chick, and keep smiling! xox

Re: What we have been up to :)

Thank you darling Lui, I always do! LOL!
Unfortunately caitlin knew exactly where I was and kept trying to open the door and then just banging on it, but the thought was there, she tried!
Big smiles especially for you!

I know the Bonds clothes are so cool, and the jeans are just so great! I think we paid like $3 so bargain!

I only have 3 weeks left, I was a week early with Catilin as well, hopefully that happens again! I cant stand the thought of going over!

Re: What we have been up to :)

Oh wow, 3 weeks to go, I didn't realise you were that close.  If you go early that means that pretty soon 3 minti bubs will be born (Dannii, Arna and you)

I am just so exicted for you all!!   I wish I was preggers.
