25 + 1

This is me today...




25 weeks and 1 day (gotta mention that 1 day...everyday is important to a pregnant woman!)

My handy little photographer Madelin took the photo for me - she always gets so excited when I ask her to do it!

So...I told Mathew what the sex of our baby is...so you're all allowed to know now.

Little Jellybean is a blue one. A little playmate for Makenzie. :)

Madelin is still coming to terms with it being a boy. She is slowly convincing herself that having a boy will be ok. I have lost count how many times she has asked me if I'm sure. "Maybe the doctor is wrong mum...maybe it is a girl" she says. I know once he is born she'll just love him just the same, but until then, I don't think she's 100% convinced that it is actually going to be male! lol.

In other news...

- Our trip to Melbourne was soooooooo fabulous! It went waaaaaaaay too fast and it was
extremely hard to see Mat go again, but we're on the home stretch now. Not long to go and my family will be under one roof again - yipeee!!!

- Kids have been sick. High temps, sore throats ears and tummy's. Off to the docs tomorrow I think.

- School holidays have been "interesting" - I love my kids, I really do, but I am looking forward to school going back and having a routine again.

- Cooked roast chicken and veggies tonight. I really don't know why I bothered. The chicken barely looks like anyone has eaten it. I think I'll stick with toasty toasts and charity meals for the next few weeks. ;)

- Not alot of scrapping going on here. Only my essential deadlines. I just don't have the energy. Curling up in my warm bed watching tele has been a favourite past time of mine lately.

Speaking of bed. I'm off to get in my pj's and jump in there now.

Night night. xx

Your prayer for daddy...

I scrapped again - shock horror!!

This has taken me two days to do. I know, it doesn't look like it, but as I've said, things are going a little slower in the scrapping department around here lately.

I have used some of the new American Crafts products on this. I mixed some 'Blue Skies' and 'Merry Mint' paper along with some 'Merry Mint' ribbon, some mini marks alphas and chipboard 'nutmeg' Thickers (which are looooovely!) I have also used a speech bubble from one of the older remarks sticker books.

And lastly, this cute little 'love' word title made by the uber talented Jane from Crafty Matters.

Look look....I scrapped! Shocked aren't you?!

I haven't done alot of scrapping lately - life is just too busy at the moment, but when my DT box of American Crafts goodies came last week, I had to dive straight in and do something!

I have used some of the new papers, chipboard and Thickers and might I say...they are delish! If you haven't snapped some up yet, I suggest you do. You will not be dissapointed - I promise you that! I have also used a cute little cheeky emoticon from Crafty Matters - I think it fits perfectly with the photos on the layout - don't you think?

On the home front - all is well. Myself and the kids miss Mathew so much. We are counting down the days until we can see him for the weekend. At this stage it looks like we will be moving over to Victoria sometime before Christmas - exciting, but nerve racking at the same time!

Little Jellybean is growing at a rapid pace - I love having a little baby belly. I am feeling lots of kicks and movements and loving every minute of it - this baby is a party animal! I did find out what this little jellybean is, but you will all have to wait to find out until after I visit Mathew. He does want to know, but would like to be told in person...so when that happens...you'll all know. If you want to that is! Feel free to guess in the mean time won't you. I'll just sit back and giggle! ;)

Just because...

I have nothing else to share.

Isn't he the cutest?!

Happy Wednesday. xx

Tooth number 3...

Madelin's two front teeth have been wobbly for months now, but no wiggling or pulling would get them out. Since Mathew has been away, Madelin has been nagging me to pull the most loose one out, but being the wimp I am - I just can't do it!

While at the dentist today, Madelin says to the lady (as she sticks her finger in her mouth and points to the tooth)...

"My daddy is away and my mummy is too scared to do it...so...can you get this thing out?!"

So...of course she was more than happy to help out.

Here's the end result...

Cute hu?! Now to wait for the tooth fairy to come. *wink*

Fathers Day without daddy...

We got to speak to Mat for a nice length of time yesterday, which was great!

The kiddos had a huge sleep in - until 11am mind you. I twiddled my thumbs waiting for them to wake - they obviously needed it.

My mum and dad came over with KFC for lunch - which is nice and easy and the rest of the day was spent doing this...





Madelin was hard at work practicing her skipping skills and Makenzie was busy being busy! :)

I have no layouts to show, so I will share some recent photos that I have taken - I needed some latest ones to print and post to Mat.









Enjoy your week.

I have just been looking through the disc that I got at the ultrasound yesterday and just had to share a couple of the short clips. I had no idea that they were there, I thought that there were only still images on it, so I have been really excited and I haven't been able to stop watching them all...

The first is a 3D one (it's waving at you)...



and the second is of the little gem being a clever little acrobat. We were sitting there waiting for it to do a complete roll, but it only got as far as touching it's forehead with it's foot - I told you it's clever! :)



I hope you enjoy them as much as I am.
