Week 35 - Babettes first Dummy

BABETTE got her first Dummy ...a nice Swarovski piece from Aunty Nadine and Uncle Nigel...

Week 34 - PART 2 FTB

Greetings,


Cherished last moments of motorbiking
freedom for FTB before BABETTE arrives....PC...enjoy it cos that bikewill go into semi - retirement shortly....




This weekend we also dined at RED LANTERN for an early birthday celebration with Jenn and Nadine...every yr the three of us celebrate our birthdays together which I am sure will continue in tradition in the years to come. We managed to have a brush with celebritism...ie Chef Mark Jensen came out and took a picture with us...the food was excellent!


Also, on Sunday PC and I took part in Kei's Kitchen Kaiseki Cooking class which was totally awesome. Here are some pics we took with Kei..



Babette is getting her early feed of assorted meals and we are trying to get out as much as possible before we go into late nite feeds and deprived sleep days..

Had a great weekend and look foward to more feasting over the next 5 weeks or so.....

XOXOXO

Week 34 - Shes real in Black and White

Quick update,
Thought today deserved a BLOG entry. Came back from my fortnightly visit to OB - all appears well , however was still concerned a little on BABETTE'S size. So, to put our minds at ease, OB said lets do a scan.

So - here are the results!
Facial Frontal

Side Profile
She's progressing well weighing currently at 2 kgs. Further speculation from Sonographer advises possible due date is in fact approximately 1 week later than expected. So - will reconfirm with OB in a fortnight.

Either way - things are progressing well - got the airconditiong unit installed in nursery so one less thing to worry abt.

Enjoy the pic's

Week 33 Part 2 - Snack Run

Hi de ho!

Another snippet in the countdown to Babette's arrival, have not slept well at all this week.
About 3 nights ago I sent Paul down for a snack-run around 12.30 AM...he was semi-conscious when I said"Honey..can you get me some of those balls I made....the cornbeef ones.."....as he staggered down the stairs , he was quick and back in a flash ...in his hands he had 2 Crochet balls !!! I replied "What am I gonna do with those!!! I can't eat those!!!! ...I was in stitches with laughter for a good 5 minutes clutching baby belly. He soon arrived back with the infamous "Nana's Cheese Puffs" (courtesy of the Flannery's) all nice and heated.

He explains later, as I am suffering from Carpal tunnel , he thought I was going to use them as stress balls to clench with...yeh yeh....he just thinks I'm getting tooo fat!!!

Here are those lovely cheese puffs:

This week we also celebrated Paul's Birthday at "The Boathouse on Black Wattle Bay".
Had some gorgeous oysters and snapper pie..followed by scrumptious Apple Tart.
Here are some pics to make you drool.....
We will have a second celebration with Damo to celebrate his B'day also...gearing up for Chilli Crab!! Can't wait..will post more pics.

XOXOXO

Week 33 - Family to be

Week 32 PART 2

Hi
Quick update, visited OB yesterday. BABETTE is well, although Im 32 weeks, her little size is one of a 30 week old..no cause for alarm, head approx 30 cm . OB thinks she will deliver around 7 pd or high 6's which is about 3 kgs. So, hopefully it will make easier for a bearable delivery.

Im struggling with the 100 ball challenge, up to 35 now. Also, experiencing pins and needles in left hand, apparently I have typical carpal tunnel which is common for pregnant women. O well....it's a temporary condition so I shld be OK post birth (cross fingers).

This weekend- hopefully we will organise rooms so next post may be a nursery view.
Thanks everyone for your comments in WK 32 !!

Bye for now.

Week 32 - 100 ball challenge

Hi All,
Its been a while between posts. Have been busy being a domestic goddess...what you say?
Making 100% cotton basinette sheets and mini cushions...will post up in next blog entry.

I've also given myself a 100 ball challenge...i.e to make 100 crochet balls by the time BABETTE enters the world...wish me luck. Here is the first 25 :

Also - I dabbled into some amiragumi - I did these for fun for my Brother in law..
However I do find these troublesome..so I don't think I will do many more of these. Do you recognise the guys?
OK...well how am I doing...well BABETTE is kicking several times a day and keeping MTB awake at night. I'm also having weird dreams about running in the forest and jumping over trees..a bit "TWILIGHT" without Robert Pattinson to my dismay... I have heard at times Mothers experience weird dreams...bizarre.

DTB and me are slowly working out room re-organisation for the nursery- we have pretty much the std stock items and will slowly get the rest in good time. We are very excited and realising the names list is becoming a very important items on the "TO DO LIST"...we will get there I am sure.

Here is a pic of me - at 32 Weeks....waist is 103 cm (not sure if that's big or small....either way...I'm very pregnant and still can't believe Ive made it this far - god bless her little socks !)
Pls feel free to leave a comment guys as I intend to print a BLOG book so Babette can look back and have a nice read....when she finally meets you she can say ..Oh is that what Aunty XX looks like ??(You get the picture)

Thanks all....till next post.
