Hi all
Not long since the last post but i know everyone is anticipating news each day. . . especially us! Tim and I struggling with the concept that this little bundle is already totally in control and we've had to relinquish any decisional right as to the arrival day date and time. . . It is an odd feeling, which i am sure we will get used to over the course of its life!
Since Friday we have done heaps . . The weekend was fab, Friday night was dinner and birth class with Dan & Kylie - we were sad to see them finish actually. It was nice to be in a room of pregnant couples and feel free to focus on that aspect of your life for 2.5hours without needing to worry if you were boring people out of their brain with all the baby banter. Saturday morning i walked the salamanca markets with the lovely Adelle (a good friend and OT at the royal)and managed to not buy anything except a jam donut and a card . . I was very close to purchasing something but restrained!!
Saturday afternoon found us at Dan & Kylie's for Dan's 30th birthday party. . . This was no ordinary party, in fact it was similar to the "amazing race" just without the cash and prizes! Now despite the lesser loot at the end the competition was EXTREMELY fierce in fact maybe even more so, friendships were put aside for the glory of being the WINNING TEAM!!! The whole thing started with a find-a-word which had to be completed to receive our first destination, needless to say our team struggled a little with the answer as we had the wrong letters, however we managed to access some assistance and we were on our way. By this time we were coming last and the symbol decription that came next did not help matters. Needless to say that at the end we were second to finish and second place overall! The winners were decided based on points and we had managed to fullfill many challenges - acquiring road kill, dirty nappies, cappucino moustaches, old underwear, photo of a team member trying on pyjamas (this was me) and a load of other interesting, disgusting and hilarious challenges! ! We were so pleased to have come a place in the rally as there were about 35 people competing!! Everyone had so much fun and even I with my big preggo belly was running around trying to locate clues and win the prize!!!! Tim & I were exhausted that evening however my nesting instinct was in full swing and for some reason we just had to come home and rearrange the bedroom or else i was not going to be able to sleep - poor tim obliged with much vocal begrudging, the positive thought was we managed to locate all our papers for tax purposes so tim managed to feel better about it!
On Sunday we had a little lay in and then tim went off to play soccer and i went down to Blackmans Bay (about 20 mins away) and started helping our dear friends Ash & Brendan prepare for the painting of their gorgeous new house! Goodness it brought back memories (and nightmares) of our reno's. They are doing vey well thought and hopefully we'll be able to help them a little more before this bub makes a guest appearance. Ash is quite concerned that i am going to go into labour and turn up to hospital with no more gaps or spac filler in my hair - nice touch!
Lots of catching up with people is all i have planned for this week. Brad Christal and Jackson are moving this weekend (lucky i'm preggo or i'd be helping, instead i just get to spend the day with the beautiful Jackson Angus Harris), Ash & Brendan are painting so we are going to try and help them sunday and our lovely friend Kirstie is having a 40th so we will be popping in there too. . . . Jam packed weekend!! However this could all change in a matter of minutes if small fry decides its time . . . We'll keep you all posted!!
Bye for now
:) Caz xoxo
