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!

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">

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.

    Scan1small

                                                        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.

     

    scan2smallAnd 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:)

    Kudoo doodoo

    Ok so I thought I should probably get into gear and write a new blog.
    So for the moment i'm without my laptop for god knows how long. The
    power cable is broken from what I can tell which isn't going to be
    covered under warranty. Meaning i'll have to pay for it and right now
    there is no way I can afford to. So I am stuck using my Pda and
    wireless keyboard its ok at lease I have something to use as opposed
    to nothing at all. So here I sit next to Michael watching The X-Files
    really quite enjoyin myself. Michael and I have big news coming up
    very soon but that's still to come. On a funny note I just punched the
    crap out of his right arm until he was all "Ow ok stop stop"! I found
    it pretty damn funny haha. Ok so that's it for now i'm off.
    Adios

    Mother fucking fucker

    Just wrote a blog to have it not post and close so it’s lost in the depths of hell now. Fuck it. It’s not like it was anything too interesting anyways. Mostly just me moaning about shit and going on about how boring and uneventful my life is.

    meh whatever this will do.

    Undaily musings of course!

    Hmmm so i haven’t written anything in a couple of days, weird that huh…not really. Fucking Simpsons on TV again, god channel 10 let it damn well go.  I hate it so much.  I would rather bash my head against a wall laced with broken shards of glass and shark teeth.

    So Michael threw his back out and has been painfully moving around very little even after taking Codeine. I tore my toe’s open on the stairs yesterday so we both sitting around mostly out of action. I’ve been amusing myself with books on my Dopod and playing Farm Frenzy that i downloaded off of a torrent last night.

    We’ve had Joe over for the past couple of days which is always fun and enjoyable. He’s great. He even gave us his old stereo he doesn’t use which sounds spectacular in my opinion, especially with the old Stereo’s speakers hooked in along with the new ones.

    Apart from that we really haven’t been able to do too much. Dave came over on the weekend which was nice. Always good to hang out and catch up with him. Even if i was tired like a little old lady and went to bed early. Funny contrast to my now insomnia problems.

    That’s really about it to update on my boring ass life…

    Something that really grinds my gears

    Have anyone else (besides Michael) ever noticed that 99% of Youtube users who comment on other peoples videos have a severe Inferiority complex? It’s as though they sign up with accounts and post negative comments about other people (who don’t deserve those types of comments) just to make themselves feel better and validate their inferior pathetic existences.

    It’s one thing to give some creative criticism but it’s a whole difference kettle of fish to just post shit comments to every video you see. It really gets under my skin. Someone needs to hunt those people down, one by one and give them all kicks to the backs of their heads as they run away in terror screaming.

    the end.

    Example of a Phished email

    Hotmail is renowned for spam, phishing and bogus advertisements and here is a couple of perfect examples of these bogus emails. I suggest if you get an email from a friends email address anything like these, please let them know to change their passwords. And NEVER click the links or give out any personal details. I’m posting this in light of Michaels Blog about Phishing.

    Please click the images to see bigger Versions.

    exampleofaphishedemail

     

    emails from places like Ebay, but when i moused over the link shown it doesn’t actually go to that url. Plus…wait…i’m not selling anything on ebay!

    exampleofaphishedemail2

     

    And my favourite scam…PayPal, and again the links if you mouse over them, do NOT link back to paypal in any way at all.

    exampleofaphishedemail3

     

    So to sum up, don’t give your personal details out, don’t click email links even if you know the person who sent it (Example 1) And without clicking links, mouse over it first, the url you will be directed to should show up in the bottom left hand corner of your browser;)

    Thank you and good day.

Went to Calamvale, put photos in at Big W, Had Calzones for dinner, Picked up the photos, came home again, Went back out to JB-HiFi at the Hyperdome to pick up a DVD, came home again. Realised we had an overdue game from blockbuster, So we had to go out again to drop it off. Came home again, and so here i am right now, finally got changed into my PJ’s, hoping Michael will hurry up on the home and his laptop so we can go, sit in the lounge room and watch the DVD we got today. So exhausted i feel like i just want to pass out.

    Aw fuck..

    I think my Laptop charger is about to shit itself. aw fuck!

    Just downloaded…

    So i just downloaded the beta version of Windows Live Writer the blogger desktop application and decided i should test it out and see how it works and if it’s worth using over having to go to my blogger dashboard online every time i want to write a blog. So far so good it seems. How to test adding an image. It’s the one thing that really shits me about blogging from the website, whenever you add a photo it adds it to the top of your blog no matter what part of your blog you’ve selected it to go.

    n646162618_1491265_2301

    Ok well that worked like a charm plus it added the photo exactly where i wanted it to go not where it decides it wanted to put it, hoorah for that.

    So it seems to circumvent the most annoying points of the blogger dashboard that annoyed the crap out of me. All well and good so i think i do recommend Windows Live Writer booyah!

    Photoshop = Love

    Ok so i've been going pretty nuts today since I've reloaded Photoshop CS2 onto my computer. Michael was wanting me to do some "Tom goes to the Mayor" Style images of him for some time now and I've only now been able to do them. They are fairly easy but take a while to cut the images out properly so they don't look too dodgy. I'm pretty happy with how they all turned out though so all is well and It's kept me busy most of the day that i've been home.

    Again no housework was done..ah well i'm not actually too phase about that right now. Joe's staying here tonight so that we can take him to a job interview tomorrow. His car's out of action and so is Susan's for the upteenth time. That must completely suck. I think she's going to get a new car. I remember last time she picked it up from the mechanic's they said that it was just going to keep having problems and they suggested to get rid of the car asap and get a new one. So i am assuming thats whats going to happen.

    On another note I've been starting to look at new rentals. Michael and I really want to get out of here. I'm so over the area it's not funny anymore. Woodridge have been good to us don't get me wrong...BUT i want to move to a more people friendly suburban area and i want to move into a house. Townhouses are just too much for me these days. Stairs are NOT my friend heh.

    ♥CassieWho♥

    Castle Greyskull? Pfft


    I don't think Michael was very impressed when he went to visit Castle Grey Skull. Maybe Skeletor wasn't home?

    Michael goes to the mayor

    What was i going to say again?....Oh yeah....all done.


    If you are wondering about the style, Google Tom goes to the Mayor, Adult Swim, ;)

    Michael & Joe Go to the Mayor

    Finally finished one of what will be a set of three. I posted my one, now for one of Michael and Joe. Next will be one of just Michael.

    Michael and Joe go to the Mayor
    ^^Rough Draft ^^


    Finished Product




    ♥CassieWho♥

    So full

    Stopped of at Maccas on the way home from picking Joe up, Michael and Joe had maccas but the smell make me feel sick so i ambled across the road to noodle box and had Gung Ho Soy With Tofo Vegies and egg noodles i feel so full and there's plenty of left overs for later yay! It's a little more expensive than other take away but so very worth that little extra. Now i'm fully satisfied i'm nice and warm in my pj's. Michael and Joe are playing Wrestling on the 360 in a royal rumble, i want to play COD4 ...better get to play soon dammit.

    ♥CassieWho♥

    Not an entirely wasted day.

    So i decided to try and get Photoshop CS2 working on my computer again, it wouldn't work but i eventually got Photoshop Image Read CS2 working so for now it's at least something. The whole point of getting it working was to try out doing a "Tom Goes To the Major" Style Graphic for Michael. He wants me to take a new photo of him for the project so i tried it out on a photo of myself just to see how it would turn out. I must say, not freakin bad actually. I'm fairly proud of myself for this and can't wait to get to work on Michaels as soon as i have a suitable photo to use.



    As I said, it turned out pretty cool in my opinion. Michael hurry up so we can take this photo and get to work haha.
    ♥CassieWho♥

    Wasted the day away

    So it's almost 3pm and I've not been awake more than a few hours. I feel like I've wasted most of the day away. So Much for the things I actually wanted to do today. Although I did fix my dopod this morning before i went to bed while i was waiting for my ipod to charge.

    Finally..

    Yep finally going to bed...i think.

    Updated Shit and really random stuff

    So i spent a little while making a custom header. I hated the template one that came with this layout. It's nothing spectacular but it'll do for now. Maybe when I'm not so tired I will make a better one but for now it'll do.

    Michael just went to bed so I'm now up on my own. I feel like a bout of insomnia is coming up. I don't actually feel at all tired. Then again maybe if I go and lay in bed I'll fall asleep. Not that I really feel like laying in bed for three hours until I fall asleep.

    Today has been such a...meh kind of day. Didn't really do anything apart from house work, more of that to come tomorrow too. Although I know house work is a never ending thing so there's no hope of every actually being "finished" with it.

    I have a feeling that in the next few weeks I'm going to have to reload windows on my laptop. This shit is running nowhere near the speed it's supposed to. Kind of reminds me of the old laptop which really shouldn't be possible seeing as this one has more than 5 times the ram and space that the old one had. It's not that I've even been to any websites that would load shit to run in the background. It just seems to run slower and slower every day. I thought Vista was supposed to have all this new built in shit that stopped some of the slow down. Pfft right Vista sucks ass so i'm guess it's a load of bullshit.

    Fuck i have the most terrible heart burn right now. Anyone have any remedies for it that don't invole Milk? I'm seriously over the constant burning in my throat and the also very constant stabbing/stinging gut pains I have had pretty constantly these past couple of days. I Also have feeling like i have no energy to do anything. Even though it's not really like i have a whole lot to do, it'd be nice to have the drive to do some more Amigurumi or re-organise the shit under the stairs or even change the sheets on the bed. Which i don't think have been changed in weeks....pretty fucking gross in my opinion. Normally i would change them once a week, but that means more washing, more effort and i just barely have the energy to get through the day even with having one or two nanna naps. Man that makes me feel really old.

    I haven't touched my guitar in months either which is kind of sad. Haven't really listened to any music either. Maybe that's a sign i need to update what's on my ipod and get myself interested in at least listening to music again. I've been going through phases with it though, I'll listen to music constantly for a while and then just abruptly stop listening to it at all. I've been using my Ipod to read ebooks instead which can't really be too good for the battery life having the back light on constantly while reading thousands of pages of text. Ah well fuck it, at least i'm using it for something.

    Maybe i should get back into reading the actual books i own. I have quite a few that i enjoy reading, but i would really love to get some more Kelly Armstrong books. I really wish my dopod was still working too, i have a ton of books on it that i still haven't gotten around to reading. Still waiting for the next Rachel Vincent book which isn't going to be available until July. That just feels like way too long to wait. I love her Shifter series and it's just frustrating there are only a few books in the series out yet. That's why the Kelly Armstrong books were so great, because i could read the whole Woman of the Otherworld series one after another in context and really it felt like one huge story instead of waiting around for the next small instalment. I think tomorrow i'm going to try and fix my dopod so i can read some of the other books of a similar Genre that i haven't read yet, it'll give me something constructive to do. Maybe i will even start posting reviews on the books as i read them. Hmm probably not i barely have the drive to update shit like this normally haha.

    I really miss Lion-O. It was one week yesterday that we had to put him to sleep and i miss him so so much. The house feels like there is something missing now that he's gone. I miss the way he'd greet me in the morning when I got up to use the bathroom. I miss the way he'd bolt down the stairs and follow me into the kitchen then rub up against me constantly while i made my breakfast and I miss how he used to kick up the biggest stink if you picked him up when he didn't want to be picked up. There are so many little things that i miss about him. Even how he used to sit at the front door in the sun and watch the cars go past down the driveway. It's just not the same without him but i guess it's going to take a while to get used to him not being around any more. On that note i think I'm going to wrap this up. It's too depressing to write about this stuff any more.

    What's happened to the internet?

    I find it rather annoying that these days it seems I'm not important enough any more for my so called "friends" to bother seeing what I've been up to or even send me a casual "What's happening"? The internet for myself really only includes, Twitter, Facebook and now here.
    Myspace is dead and buried in my opinion, Forums are mostly a waste of time and msn is just down right boring. I'm not saying that my life is overly interesting in any way, and I'm not saying i'm more important than anyone else. But most people are so self absorbed that what the hell is the point in even wasting minutes out of your life talking to them or learning anything about them? I think I'm coming to realise that I'm much happier staying cocooned in my own little existence along with Michael and calling it even.

    So in conclusion this rant of mine is saying that the internet is boring, people are self absorbed and i have no patience for any of it any more. The most interesting person I know i already live with and spend most of my time with, so there's really no need for internet "friends" and bullshit. Now if i keep going I think I'll end up talking in circles so I'm going to go back to watching "Hot Fuzz" (brilliant movie) And maybe make myself another nice cup-o-tea. Peace out and what not.
