Day One Hundred and Eighty Two

A Friend

Today I was host to many friends and family, who joined me to celebrate my Baby Shower. We had the most amazing food and also played some fun games. We didn't have the usual present opening ceremony as I asked my guests to donate their gift money to Teddy Love Club (now known as Pregnancy Loss Australia) in memory of the baby we lost last year. We raised almost $900 which I am so proud of , and thankful to everyone for their generous donations. 

This is me with my good friend Rebecca, I really couldn't ask for better friends or family.

Day One Hundred and Eighty One

Soft

Today Jada had a Teddy Bear's Picnic at Pre-school. We dressed her Little Ted in some of the baby's clothes to get him/her ready for the occasion . As I took this photo Jada told me "Don't try and make her smile Mum, because she can't", Thanks Jada.

On The Shelf

Today I finished off folding the baby's clothes and putting them away. 99% of them were Bella's and Jada's clothes, so we haven't had to buy much. Wow look at all that pink! It's so nice to see their baby clothes and remember all the special times they had wearing them. I found the pants that Bella wore when she first walked and Jada's favourite pyjamas. We're so lucky to be able to use them again.

Day One Hundred and Seventy Nine

Bathroom

Today of all days, in the middle of frosty Winter, and with all of us sick, our heater decided to stop working. The next best heat source in our house are these Tastic heat lamps in the bathrooms. They gave off enough heat for the girls and I to at least have a shower and put on some warm clothes. For now we will continue to hibernate at Mum's, where those of you who know will agree -it is always warm!!

Where You Shop 

Lately the majority of my shopping has been done online. Not only for the convenience, but for the great savings and wider range of products that are available. 

Some of my favourite sites I have purchased from recently include Etsy, Ebay, Pink Frosting, Tinyme and Dalani. From these sites I have bought a range of things, from baby shower favors, clothes and furniture to personalised wooden puzzles and picture canvases.

Day One Hundred and Seventy Seven

Something Cute

Even though I still have 10 weeks to go, I have been trying to get the baby's room ready for her arrival. I want to be as prepared as possible, before I lose all motivation, and get to a size where I'm physically incapable to do it! This meant clearing out all the junk that had accumulated since we moved in, washing baby clothes, sorting them, putting them away and some decorating. I found these cute wooden words for the nursery wall at a local homewares shop, they were so adorable I just had to buy them!

Day One Hundred and Seventy Six

On Your Mind

This week we have all been struck by the inevitable flu that a Canberra winter brings. My two poor babies and I have been quite sick battling coughs, runny noses, fevers and sore throats. Add to that Trevor injuring his right shoulder and only having his left arm functioning, and we are a pretty sad bunch at the moment. Thankfully, between he and Mum we have been well looked after. Having a 7 pound weight attached to the front of you, depleting all your energy, combined with the flu, well it isn't much fun at all.
