Easter!

Hi! Im back! we went down to my Mums in Te Puke for a bit of a break and relax, it was nice, didnt do a thing and really enjoyed it! (apart from the travel!)

i ate very little chocolate, i got given (from mum) one easter egg which had a milk choc egg, a white choc egg inside it and a dark choc egg inside that (triple layer) all hollow, and as i dont eat dark chocolate, the first two layers were the only chocolate i ate, VERY good going on my part! lol Darryl and I didnt buy easter eggs for anyone, not even ourselves, they are WAY too expensive, and we ended up with 4 days with no money as the banks didnt do any transactions until Tuesday (tomorrow) when usually our money goes in on Friday night! we were so lucky we had (naughty i know, but what can you do when you arent at home!) Darryls work money for petrol and a bit of food! so it worked out well really, as i didnt spend hardly any money, and if i had my account going i could have spent a fair bit... but i didnt!

the trip down to Te Puke SUCKED! a 3 hour trip took OVER 5 hours! 3 hours alone to get out of friggin Auckland! yep we were stuck in that horrible accident on the southern motorway, we were lucky enough to take a good detour that didnt have nearly as much traffic as other more known detours! the advantage of a man who drives all day to different places for work so knows where he is going! the only problem we had was me, wanting to go to the loo when we were in the middle of the wops! lol and if you havent been pregnant before, the pressure on your bladder SUCKS and if you have to go, you have to go NOW!! lol but we finally got there, poor Kaylee though really doesnt like travelling so there was A LOT of stops and starts, we were so tired by the end of the day!

The trip home today wasnt much better, unfortunatly Kaylee woke up vomiting in the middle of the night last night and has been sick ever since, so a very grizzly wee baby and a very tired mum and dad! we stopped at a chemist just out of Te Puke, and i got Kaylee a dummy, some gastrolight stuff, some pamol, all to help keep the car ride a little more easier on her, nothing worse than being up the top of the Kaimais and having a baby in pain, you cant comfort her theres nothing really you can do unless you stop and you really cant stop up there! its devestating as a mother knowing your baby is in pain and discomfort and you cannot hug her or hold her, shes a lot better now, but we have only just put her into bed now at 10pm, after a couple of bottles of watered down baby gastro and a teeny bit of food shes as happy as larry! we had to wait for her to settle down again before we even attempted bed!

i just hope that its just a 24 hour thing and nothing that will carry on tomorrow!

im so sure my stomach has got huge, its incredible and a wee bit freaky, i was saying to Kate the other day im feeling movements every day, and im only 10-11 weeks, whether its my tummy playing silly buggers or im actually feeling things i dont know, but i quite like it! i have 30 (about that!) weeks to go but they cant come soon enough! i brought Kaylee a book when i got pregnant last time its called "there is a house inside my mummy" and it is SO neat, its still in the bag in the wardrobe, but im thinking i can bring her new book out real soon :) and hopefully i go and pick up my new pushchair this week too, you should (if i have done this right,) see a pic of the buggy in the colour i have chosen above :)

anyway im off to bed, Kaylee is quiet which means she has settled nicely and im going to make the most of it!
