Pleasant times :)

its been a lovely past couple of days really, even though Darryl wasnt home all weekend (worked Saturday, went Drag Racing Sunday, he came 2nd, was very happy!) i have just listened to my body, taken my time doing things, relaxed a lot and enjoyed being a Mama and being pregnant, its been pretty cool, Darryl brought a Stethascope (sp?) on the weekend and we are pretty sure we can hear baby inside (HB etc) but it may be my pulse... who knows, its pretty cool anyway! Nearly 30 weeks along, and i feel so unorganised, there is still so much i need to get, and so much i want to get (2 different things, lol im working on the NEEDS first!) so many clothes to wash, things to set up etc. hey we will get there, realistically we have at least 7 weeks to go, but could go as long as 12 weeks to go, so still plenty of time, but i do get slower day by day! lmao

im very much looking foward to going into Labor this time, looking foward to giving birth and remembering it (i dont remember very much from Kaylee) looking foward to being allowed to listen to my body, and being the person in charge of what i want to do and how i want to do it, but in saying that i will do whatever it takes to get this baby out happy and healthy, if i need a C-Section, so be it, if i need an epidural, so be it, if i need full intervention like last time, hey, i know what i get at the end, and it is ALL worth it. i will take whatever is thrown at me and work with it, we shall see what happens! ultimatly things going well i want a waterbirth, that was the plan with Kaylee, but never eventuated (oncall MW had never done one before, which i didnt find out until i was in the hospital!) as much as im not one for swimming, i love a bath, i love the way i feel soothed in the water, esp around period time, or when i have an achey back, LOVE the water! but like i say, what will be, will be!

Emily came for a visit on Sunday afternoon, was very lovely to finally meet her, it has been talked about enough! and we just "clicked" and talked and talked, its cool meeting someone from online, esp one you have been emailing heaps, i liked the fact that (because sometimes you just cant tell in an email!) i havent offended her yet! lol god knows i offend a lot of people, unintentionally of course, i just have MAJOR foot in mouth disease! and that she interprets my emails the way i mean them (does that make sense??) basically we think a like (i think!) and that works well, lol so yeah, talk talk talk, was very cool, and we didnt eat THAT much fudge and timtams! lmao!

We just had a lazy dinner last night, Darryl went and got Roast, which our local one rocks, lots of peas and carrots and they STEAM roast their potatos, pumpkin and Kumera, most places deep fry roast, icky yuck. so it was nice not having to cook! i just had a voucher arrive in the mail, i cashed in some Fly Buy points (LOVE my flybuys!) and we are getting a 6L Russell Hobbs Slow Cooker, will be very cool esp once baby arrives, just chuck some meat in the cooker in the morning, sauces, veggies etc, by evening, dinner is done! easy! esp when i can buy the cheaper cuts and they will be just perfect! ($3 steaks rather than $8 steaks, what a difference to our bill that will make!) cant wait to get it and try it out! Darryl has to go and get it though as the card is in his name.

Im typing this and trying to settle Kaylee into bed for a sleep, we had a very busy day today and i would of thought that she would be tired, im determined that she WILL have a sleep, i need a rest too! lol im buggered! we went to the Zoo and met up with Kate, Amelia and Natalia, was nice to have a goss and a walk outside in the sunshine, beautiful day out there, seemed a shame not to do anything! unfortunatly Kaylee thought it a great idea to SCREAM all the way home, for no reason, i stopped at the fruit shop on the way home and just left her screaming in the car (its in full view of where i was shopping, im not THAT bad a mum!) by the time i got back she had calmed down (just a tanty of course! she wanted something i wasnt going to give her!) but now she just wont have a nap! dammit!

ahhh the joys of 2 year olds! lmao

the problem is she is stubborn like her Mama!! :D
