Its the final countdown!!!

Yes thats right, I am in countdown mode, only 2 weeks, 6 days till the Due date!!
Everything appears to be going ok so far, apart from the fact that I have a very limited wardrobe!!!!
Munchkins room is almost all set, and we pretty much have everything we need!!
My Mum comes over next Friday, so I am really looking forward to that!
It's really just a waitiung game, I can't believe my first week of Maternity leave is over!!!
I went to my first Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) meeting Yesterday and it was great, It does take some getting used to, seeing women freely pop their boobs out, but at least you know you don't have to worry too much if your little one needs a feed, as everyone else is doing it!!
Its such a weird feeling waiting for your bubba to come. I have been trying to keep myself busy, but resting at the same time, so I don't get too nervous. Matt is really excited about becoming a Dad, and I am just looking forward to holding my boy in my arms and giving him a big cuddle and his first feed!
It's also kinda scary, I mean I hope I can be a good parent, but you just don't know! There are so many unknowns, I am really looking forward to seeing what Munchkin looks like!!
Well I best be off, I'm about to see a movie - Confessions of a Shop-a-holic, very much looking forward to it!!!

Oh My Gosh!!! 15 days till Christmas!!

Well yes that time has rolled around again, but luckily I am fairly organised this year! I still have some shopping to do, but apart from that, I'm pretty set!
We put the tree up on Sunday night after Matt's CFA Christmas dinner, and it looks ok, but is so big that we now have decided that it needs to be moved from its current location in the dining room to the lounge. So hopefully we will get that done this week. I have also finished all my Christmas cards I just need to post some!!
The pregnancy is going well, and I am really starting to show now, which is nice. Things just are not fitting the same,and I am pretty much in maternity pants all the time now!
I am looking forward to my Christmas break and just relaxing at home. We are having Christmas lunch at our place this year, so I have a bit of organisation to get the house looking good, but hopefully by the end of this week, most of that will be done!!
We went shopping the other week at Baby Bunting and put our pram and Nursery stuff on lay-by so Munchkin's room is looking, or will look really good and I should have most of his stuff all finished by the start of March! We are going with a African Animals theme and the nursery manchester is aptly named Zanzibar! We also purchased our cloth nappies and I got them on Saturday which was very exciting, and I proceeded to wash them straight away! We are using the brand Baby Beehinds and I just can't wait to put our little fella in them!
Well thats all from me, have a great Chrsitmas and New year!! xxxx

Hello Munchkin!

Hi Guys!

I haven't written in a while, but you know neither has anyone else!!!
So we had the 1st scan yesterday and it was so exciting I really can't wipe the smile off my face! It is is just so nice to know that there is a baby down there and yes everything is fine. You start to worry that perhaps I was imagining being preggers, as it's such a long time in between seeing the baby.
I reckon the best part was when we got to hear Munchkin's little heartbeat! So amazing! It is so fast 140 beats per minute I think the Doctor said (I could be wrong, because I was paying so much attention to the sound). Here's a pic of the heartbeat!

So all is well we have our next antenatal appointment on Friday, where we will find out the results of the Nuchal Translucency test, which basically is a test for Down Syndrome. We are not fussed either way, in the end having a baby is the most important thing!
Here is my favourite photo of Muchkin, she/he was moving about so much that the little blobs you can see near its mouth are its hands.

So we have booked in for our 19 week scan, and that is on the 11th November so 6 weeks today! Woo hoo! I also booked us in for our antenatal classes, we chose to do a workshop instead of the long course. So we do two Sundays in a row, which I prefer and I'm sure Matt will, so they aren't Till February, but they fill quick so needed to book in early!
Well thats all for now, gotta get back to work!

Yes I am a host to a Tiny Gedge!

Well most of you may know now that I am pregnant! 7 weeks and 5 days to be exact!
Matt and I are both very excited and have started to change a few things already.
Here's a list:

1. We both have quit smoking, which is great!
2. I am no longer looking at shoes with great anticipation, instead it is baby catalog's, baby things on e bay, oh and did you see the most recent BIG W catalog!!!
3. Matt now refers to me a mama jugs instead of Tit's McGee or vagina cakes, which makes a nice change!
4. I have an ever increasing library of baby and parenting books and magazines, so instead of waiting for the next issue of Cleo to come out it's now when is the next practical parenting or pregnancy and birth coming out!!!

Jokes aside, I am really having a fairly good time playing host to this tiny embryo that has taken over my body! I've had a bit of sickness but mainly nausea, which comes and goes, plus I am a lot more prone to crying these days!
I was watching the Olympics the other Sunday and it was the Woman's marathon, the winner was a woman from Romania I believe, anyway she was the oldest competitor to have ever won a Gold in that race and as she came running into the stadium, I really started to tear up! Then it was the swimming!! I started thinking gee, what is wrong with me!!!!
Another weird thing I have found is I get really starving and then when I eat I have two mouthfuls and I'm not hungry anymore!!! Very annoying!
I've suddenly also developed a craving for macca's cheeseburgers and tomato and cheese on cruskits!!!
Better go but will update you more along the way!
