busy busy, being a mummy!

Wow how life just rushes by when you are happy! I love being a mum. I Love doing mummy things and i love experiencing the unconditional love of a child. This is me, this is what i was born to do and i love every sleep deprived second of it!

I've been doing a lot of sewing lately. It's been a wonderful hobby to pick back up after so long and i really really enjoy making things for Kevin. My favourite thing to date would also have to be the easiest. Upcycling/breathing new life into Kevins too small batman onsie. He's recently developed a love for the 1960's batman and robbin(or in his words Batpac and Roddin) movie and watches at least once a day. I bought him a batman outfit/onsie last winter which is quite obviously maybe three or more sizes too small for him now. But with the legs removed and the bottom hemmed it's the perfect size for a shirt! The cape still fit him also, So now he has a renewed outfit to fit his new enthusiasm for those wonderful crime fighters. Will post a pic once it's try and off the line!

I want to try and blog more. It's quite obviously been a long time since my last one considering Kevin is now 18 Months old! So much has happened that i should have written about but no will never remember enough to do so. what a shame!

Next blog...maybe i should talk about MCN's(Modern Cloth Nappies) and my somewhat recent addiction to them...maybe not. Don't get me started! ha!

the birth and what not

Well colour my fanny and tickle me sideways. I just scanned when my last blog was! Since then i've had a baby shower, HAD the baby (haha) and he's now 15 days old. Now THAT is just extremely trippy because i remember thinking to myself, god the moment is never going to come when i can hold him, feed him and hug him when he wants affection. But here i am, there he is and he's over two weeks old now! the time is really flying. He's changing so quickly and i feel like if i sleep or blink or even sneeze i'm going to miss some significant moment. I've gotten used to this constant feeling that at any moment i'm going to pass out and asleep for a week, it's surprisingly easy to function this way lol.


Everythings easier than i expected, it's times like these when you wonder what the hell you were ever really worried about! For pictures there are a ton on my dailybooth account.

Preggers stuff again!

So i was visiting one of the pregnancy forums i've been frequenting these days and wrote up a reply with advise for someone who wanted it. I think it's probably the most i've written in a while so i thought i would cheat and copy/paste it here too. Obviously i doubt any of you will need this advise but i do think it's a good example of my mindset right now:)

For those who think they are small for 33 weeks, give it time it'll just jump out at you in the next few coming weeks or you may just be one of those lucky few who don't get amazingly huge!

The doctors were worried my bub was too small, Ultrasound yesterday proved he's fine and actually a week ahead in size development yay for 6 weeks instead of 7!

Getting up to go to the loo 4 - 5 times a night is frustrating, but not has bad as a few weeks ago when i was getting up at least 10 times a night, do what i do or at least try it and see if it helps! Figure out what time you normally go to bed and stop drinking large amounts of fluids about an hour before. That way you'll go before bed and even though you will be still up a couple of times in the night it won't be anywhere near as urgent and you'll be getting up less!

For the back pain my Physio was amazing, she's helped so much with only a few simple exercises! Look up stretches and exercises for pregnant woman to relieve say, back, hip and leg pain, you'll be amazed at the difference!

I'm so excited and can't wait for bub to be here. I'm a bit nervous about the c-section though! hopefully recovery time is good. Good luck to all of you expecting shortly and i hope everything goes well for you all!

Pictures from 32 weeks:)

26 amost 27 weeks.

How time flies these days. The pregnancy has gone pretty smoothly so far with no major issues. Not too much to report apart from the babies room being done except for the small bits and peices along the way. Will update more as things come to pass. Last trimester shortly so not long at all to go. Very exciting! Some pictures of the babies room. <3<3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT7RmWVi_5KrfR4lXcUV5YWwj4EPpNy1tNmiwoJUqaVaIwY2MF4iR2nji1NcEwAzm9rypgji70yMzE7VdC4YMZWsXvtnTeVhkqLr_zHEzk1eoiDXoq3bufhmeiF5FThXmb4e-EyIU67g/s1600-h/2009-08-18-71851.jpg">

26 weeks

It's a...

BOY! So exciting! Had the ultrasound yesterday morning and from what they could tell he's healthy and an active boy for sure! It was very clear on the ultrasound too. I'm so happy as i've been worrying for a while about if my health issues would effect the baby, but that does not seem to be the case so i'm very very relieved and very very happy. Plus, a son! that's fantastic. Unfortunately they didn't give us the ultrasound scans when we left, i think we will have to pick them up from our doctors. Hopefully the morons sent them to the RIGHT GP and not our old GP who is no longer even at the same surgery.
Anyways, it was great to see Little Kevin Michael kicking and sucking his fingers and moving around, a real treat for over an hour too. Very well worth the uncomfortable prodding around my bladder hehe!

So happy, so exciting, almost half way there!

first scan!

We had our first scan done on Monday it was an amazing experience to see the baby moving and turning and sucking his thumb/fist. Seeing it really made this a complete reality. It’s really happening and it’s not going to disappear like i had feared for weeks. I’m so happy, so excited, proud and amazed. I’m blow away and Michael has been so amazing. I couldn’t be any happier at the moment. This is just a short update entry.

                                                    This one is the clearest of the two of the arms. Here if you look closely you can see the baby’s head on the bottom left with the body on the right facing upwards. where the white arrow is pointing you can see the arm near it’s face.

 

And here we have on the left, the baby’s face in profile looking up from the bottom as well as an outline of the baby’s body:)
