Yes that is me to a T right now.
As it is for all mums with newborns.
My little Ted is spending a lot more time awake nowadays and she is quite alert. She would sleep most times in my arms if I could afford to spare them, but of course there is always so much to ‘be done’. Right now she is in my right arm whilst I type with my left.

Finding somewhere dark around here for her to sleep at is really hard, as we don’t really have anyplace that has curtains to make the room dark enough. But I am getting by. I took her to do the weekly shop today and she was a little gem and slept through most of it and didn’t cry or fuss. I have to try n get some photo’s in of her this week, but I have heaps to do and 2 appointments at the Hospital (sigh) this week. And I should prob get myself off to a doctor to collect that pill

I don’t have much else to report on….Summer is growing well and doing well and making more and more little cooing noises everyday. I love her to little bits n pieces. And want to squish her all day…but alas I am soo tired…

Yey!!! It’s raining!!!  It’s just after 5pm and I have been waiting all day for it to rain.  If you know me well,  then you will know this kind of weather is my absolute fave

Well I am nearly done with the whole Hospital/Birth bag.  I went shopping yesterday as planned and got lots of things I needed and a few selfish Items that I didn’t.  I ended up with another pair of boots.  And 2 books instead of 1.  Pretty much everything else I have purchased was for essential items,  such as tops with the ability to wear and breastfeed from.  And I bought a lovely and soft and warm dressing gown for the winter and some light cardigans,  but that is about as exciting as my shopping expedition got.

I will hopefully be going to get the chest of drawers for the baby’s room this weekend.  And we will have to put that together…but then at least I will have somewhere permanent to store all of her stuff.  I will start packing my bags for the hospital now too,  seeing as I have most of the list together.

I am starting to get quite anxious about what lies ahead now.  It is going to be such a huge transition and I don’t think my Husband understands the impact it will have on him or us.  But hey,  he will know all about it soon enough!

So that ends that chapter.  There really isn’t anything else I can write about today.  It’s really dark already and I have been sitting at the computer for hours playing games.  Tomorrow is housework day,  so I will relax today.  I haven’t been cleaning the whole house as much lately,  I have decided that I am going to take it easy up until baby arrives now.  Doing a big clean once enough will have to suffice.  Luckily for me,  Rick doesn’t care one way or another

So today was a boring, uneventful day. But it isn’t like I was expecting something other than that either. But it does get boring and tedious. I should be grateful for the last few weeks I have to myself really. I did a bit of washing of the new baby stuff we still haven’t organised. I am nearly done getting all the stuff together for the Hospital/Birth. And I did a teeny weeny bit of cleaning. But not much. I am going to be making Fish & Salad for dinner. I was really bad today and had a Big Mac and Large Fries today. I shouldn’t have. But I just didn’t fancy Cruskits again

I am off tomorrow for the day to have my last selfish shopping trip. Any spare money that has come my way (and then some) has been spent on buying things for our baby. Which I enjoy doing very much. But this time I decided that I will spend a little on myself whilst I still can. Something for winter, maybe some clothes or a pair of shoes….whatever I fancy. But I bet you I still end up bringing things home for the baby as well….I can’t help myself!!

I am looking forward to just spending some time trawling the stores and looking at nice things by myself. I will probably head up to Chermside Shopping Centre, it’s got all the stores I want to check out. And I think I will get a new book too. I bought a nice denim pinafore off ebay this week, something I thought would be handy with breastfeeding….but of course, with this huge belly of mine I can’t really tell how it looks….

Well I don’t have much else to report right now. I guess I had better get on with making dinner and finishing the dishes for the evening!!

well it’s been a busy day…..for once.  Took the car in early for a wheel alignment/balance as it hadn’t been done when we got all new tyres put on.  Then came home did heap of house work,  then popped out to a computer store with Rick and then went and picked up the car again.  Then had our study,  then we went out to Ikea and got some curtain rods and I showed Rick the little chest of drawers I want to get for the baby’s room.  Then we popped over to Spotlight and got some tab curtains.  Purple for our room and Pink for the baby’s.

And last but not least we went to Woolworths and got a few groceries for dinner stuff and bottled water.  And by the time we got home it was already 3pm and now I am totally beat.  We have a big day again tomorrow as we are going to visit my parents for the day.

It is such a gloomy day today,  I really hope that the weather turns around for tomorrow.  I got a donut today.  I really shouldn’t have,  but I was so hungry that I thought why the hell not….I haven’t eaten it as of yet…..prob will this evening for supper.

Rick decided he wanted to go to Aldi today. There is one about 9 minutes drive away from where we live and so we went and checked it out today. Haven’t been there for a while. It’s much the same as it was years ago when we first went, when it first opened. So Rick got what he went there for and I got a few bits n bobs for the baby. Got a couple of Winnie The Pooh framed prints to put up in her room. And a tub of Magnetic Alphabet Plastic letters for the fridge and going to try a pack of their baby wipes too. Then we went to Coles and got some grocery and a couple of things for my hospital bag.

Now I am sitting at home enjoying a cappuccino and watching the pigeons sitting on the bird aviary, preening themselves. Boy they look so SOFT . Then I am going to make myself a sandwich for lunch and probably watch some foxtel and read a bit. Have to get cracking on my childbirth dvd too. Quite a nice day today.
