Losing interest....

Like lots of things in computer land I lose interest quickly and it seems the blog is the first to go. I am only reading one forum and only catching up on a few blogs a couple of times a week. Hell I haven't been on the computer in 2 whole days and I didn't miss it one bit :-)
So I'm out on the blog thing.....

new car and a midwife!!

We got out new car today! It's ace and blue and clean and shiny. Yay for new cars!

I found a midwife hurrah!!! She sounded just so lovely on the phone (of course I won't get to meet her in person for a while) and was all the things I want. I want her to be pretty hands off unless asked or I'm clearly struggling and Luke is not dealing well. I don't want someone telling me how many centimetres I am dilated every hour! Out of the 26 homebirths she has been primary mw for only 3 have transferred-2 after the birth of the babe for placenta issues and the other was a VBAC who had been pushing for ages and was asking to go. She sounds both confident and easygoing to my ideas of what I want my homebirth to be like. She only takes 2 births a month and was booked up until July so the timing was ace-I'm her 1st August :-) It is all starting to feel so much more real. OMG I'm having another baby.
I have also decided to have a 12 week scan just to check that all is as it should be but not a screening scan-you know a quick check lol. I have been in 2 minds and really trying hard to find that place of trust but I need that little extra reassurance that seeing a little heart beating away on the screen will bring me. I know that all is well but I can't shake the little niggle in the back of my head that comes with losing babies. So a scan it is.

Have been reading the consumption rebellion blog with much interest (as have many of you I'm sure!!) it just seems like such a fantastic idea that I think we will be putting into place a heap of ideas from it-the title will have to change to comsmption revolution!

stuff and things

Slack blogger I know.....

10 weeks pregnant on Wed :-) must stop eating hot chips and crying at television.

House photos got done today for net and paper so will prolly have people starting to look thru next week-must keep super clean house super clean.

Get new car this week :-) :-) hurrah!! Must do burnouts in Noble Park haha

My brothers lovely girlfrien has only 3 weeks to go before she is due to have their baby, but prolly won't go that long. Must stop thinking every phone call is from them.

Tannah is talking talking talking-must try to get less annoyed with constant repetition of same word ad nauseum.

must be on computer less-bye!

The bomb has been dropped!

And the fallout wasn't too bad. FIL was never ever going to take the news of our moving well, so all things considered he reacted as I expected. We are apparently-setting ourselves back financially and we will never be home owners again (oh no *rolls eyes*) he thinks the timing couldn't be worse etc etc. He was suitably sulky and left the room and made busy in the kitchen to pout. MIL had a totally normal reaction "I'm devestated but I understand wanting to be near your Mum" She sounded excited bout the idea of holidays-FIL was all "when do we get time for that pout pout" And Luke was soooo good. I'm so proud of him! When his dad bought up how we are making a financial mistake Luke came back with "Its not all about money Dad" Now to say that to his Dad who believes that all happiness comes from being financially secure was a HUGE thing for him to say. I was punching the air just about. So they know *sigh* thank god.

On the baby front (which frighteningly is appearing in front) I am going to use more trust of my baby and my body. I think that is really the key for me this time. I think if I don't surrender now then I will bail at the first sign of anything not textbook at the birth. That said I have decided not to have another scan until 20 weeks unless there is real trouble (which there won't be) I am going to take better care of us and spend more time meditating etc. I don't care who is impressed or annoyed by any of this, I just really feel this is the path for us. I'm going to see a GP a couple of times before I go and find myself a midwife up in QLD to be there for us after we get up there.

Bye 2006-Hello 2007!

So it's 2007. Seven is my absolute fave number so in a really daggy way it is exciting that I have a whole year of 7.
We certainly have a massive year about to unfold for us.
Sell our home and move interstate. Back in with my parents for a while, so hoping we can make it work.
Grow and birth the little bean-phew, a tiring exercise in itself! Then adjust to being a Mumma of 2 etc. They sleep through at 6 weeks right? hehe.
I'm hoping that we will still have a relationship with the IL's after bomb is dropped (yeah-and I was the one who piked the other day!) hoping they are more understanding than we give them credit for.
My niece has only got another 5 weeks or so in utero before she comes and joins us earthside. Wishing with all I have that all goes smoothly for them.
Tannah will turn 2 (omg) She will really grow from a toddler to a little kid in the next year. I'm enjoying watching her grow.
Luke will work less hopefully. I really love and like my husband and I miss him! Will be so ace to have hime round more.

So sending much love and peace to all. Hoping that 2007 is a lucky, lovely year for everyone!

uh oh...

So now I have seen the little bean on a scan, heart pumping away all cosy in there and it all seems so much more real. I am having another baby. Soon I will be a Mumma of TWO (not 3 Kate-they checked hehe) The nausea has stepped up a notch in the last few days as well. This is running pretty much the same as Tannah's pregnancy (I've put on 4 kilos oh dear) and it still "feels" all good.

So I put a new fancy Phil and teds up and down pram on lay-buy......

Ho ho ho and happy birthday

It is Lukes birthday today. We woke up at 6:30 (well Tannah woke followed by me and we woke him hehe) and Tannah helped Luke unwrap his pressies and gave lots of kisses and was generally being super cute. Then preparation for brunch with the inlaws and his best mate, wife and kids. It must suck having a birthday on xmas eve! I don't think he gets fussed over as much as he deserves as there are the all important xmas day preparations going on as well-not to mention this year me being totally exhausted after "entertaining" lol.
And the big fat man comes tonight :-) Not that I think Tannah has any idea...

Merry christmas everyone-may all your wishes come true.
