Not long till santa comes!!!

38 Weeks now and soooooo over it, my mate who was due the same day as me gave birth two days ago and im so jealous! Damit all wish this one was in hurry to show up.
Had midwife yesterday all is the same as last visit, baby is still not engaged at all! But i did get in big trouble about not taking my iron tablets! opps so now i have to take double the dose.

Today our coffee group had a little xmas get together where the kids exchanged gifts (name out of hat) Same wore his santa hat there and gave out all the presents to the kids was very cute.

Xmas time at kindy

Sam had his kindy xmas party today, they have a visit from the man himself who rode to kindy on a motorbike! and everyone brought a plate so there was a huge amount of party food layed out for the kids after they got there gift from Santa. They all got given some stickers, a pen and a lollipop. Everyone laughed when sam went up and got his present and the said a very loud thanksyou!! think he was the only kid to use his manners, some were abit nervous of old santa i think.

But man after spending the afternoon there im much more aware of what goes on! There are some real mean kids at kindy! I didnt think you would see bullies untill they were at primary. One kid that only started yesterday is such a horrible little boy after seeing punchin and slapping a kid just cause he wanted his toy he then went and pushed sam off the balance beam because he was in the way! I was straight over there and told him off, would of liked to give him a little slap myself to be honest! But then the teacher was over and made his say sorry etc.... so will have to teach same about bullies and how to deal with them without becoming a bully himself.
One mother came up to me today and said she thinks sam is the most polite boy she has ever come across, and that he has great langauge skills, awwww proud mummy moment! lol. Her little boy is one of the nice ones so im trying to get sam to play with him and stay away from the meanies lol

37 Weeks now and feeling this heat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ahhh man i just want him out now. And everytime i have a nice cold drink or suck on some ice cubes it makes him go nuts! Which just hurts now.

36 weeks

Not long to go now!!! ARRRRRR what have i got myself into!!! Im looking forward to having him here just not going through labour again, wish i had a bad memory but sadly its still crystal clear from the first one! Oh well will just have to get over me thinks.

had my baby shower last friday night, was nice to have all my coffee group ladies get together and spoil bubs before he is even here and to eat loads of yummy nibbles :) Was a nice relaxed evening just want i had wanted. And bubs got some lovely things and sam things all the baby things are soooooo cute!

Went and brought a play gym today and some bassinet sheets and a bumper for the cot. Been searching for a nappy bag but cant find one that isnt over 50 bucks!
My mum and been great and brought us a new baby carseat since our one was second hand and had expired so will have to go pick it up from matamata soon.

Sam and I put up the xmas tree today, he put on all the ornaments including getting to put the star on. And we went and brought a new decoration for the tree today, get a new one every year.

33 Weeks

32 Weeks

Had midwife visit today and im happy to say my glucose came back all fine. Only thing wrong was my iron was very low which would explain why im always so tired!
She was very pleased with me today at weigh in lol in the last three weeks ive only gained 1kg, guess the walking and yummy summer salads and fruits is helping :)
So im 32 weeks but baby is measuring in at 38 Weeks!!! Crikey no wonder people have been asking when im due then seem shocked when i say not till Jan! Hope he isnt going to be a huge bubba!!

Waikato World Show

What a great day we had!

First we went and checked out the farm show, sam got to see some pigs, ducks, goats, donkeys, a really cute puppy, rabbits, and he got to touch the donkey, lambs, donkeys, rabbit and even got to feed some of them.

Next we went and watched a show with a clown and a women who did some freaky tricks way up in the air! Then it was time for the Dorothy show!!! Sam was so excited to see her and we also got him his own feathersword.

Then sam went on some of the rides, he loved the one that goes way up in the air then drops up and down.

Samuel was very brave and went on a pony ride, to be honest i didnt think he would be that keen but once he got on he was happy as larry and then decided he wanted to ride on the bigger pony!

Great way to spend the day!!!

New haircut

What a great day we have had! First this morning we had mainly music which daddy decided to come along to so sam had a blast showing off all his moves to dad.
Then we went off to chartwell to get sams first ever haircut! he wasnt to keen to get it done but he was great for the hairdressers. So after we were done we went and treated him with an icecream cone and a ride on Thomas. And then he got to help pick out an new outfit for himself and some clothes for the baby.

Bare belly

29 weeks

29 Weeks and finally got to go do my bloods yesterday. Poor sam had to come with me but did so well while we waited the hour to take the polycose test. It was so boring for him there were no toys, or books. So we played i spy alot!!!

Sam went for his Aqua class this morning since greg had late shift today and had the morning with us. Meant i could take some photos of them instead of having to be in the pool aswell.

Went to Kmart today as they are having a sale on there toys, had this idea of getting heaps and putting it on layby but ended up only getting Sam a dora game! only thing i could find, just aswell i think as he is getting a swingset for xmas so its not like he needs to much more! And i have to say i did well, i didnt buy anything although i tried on lots of tops. So gutted im missing out summer dresses. Think Greg will have to get me some clothing vouchers for my birthday in Jan lol

28 Weeks

Had midwife yesterday and baby seems to be growing fine and heartbeat was great. I on the other hand have shot up in weight since my last visit, so much so that im being sent for a polycose test to check for diabetes. My blood pressure has also shot up since last visit. Im also getting iron levels done as im so so tired all the time and two other tests but i forget what they are for! lol
The polycose one takes an hour to do! so that will just have to wait till friday and greg is home to look after sam.
Babys head is down so he has himself in a comfy position already!
Midwife is a HUGE believer in breastfeeding and again yesterday went on and on about it for atleast 15 mins. I want to bf this time as i had such low supply with sam that i only lasted about 3months but she is making me feel bad that he was a forumla baby. Im trying to not let it bug me, greg was with me at the last visit and got sharp with her as she brought it up yet again. She is just old fashioned but she should know not to push her views onto me.
Other than that, baby is a nice stong kicker! Sam is back at kindy YAY YAY YAY and we can now go back to swimming and mainly music.
Still got heaps to get for babys room and clothes for him. Think we have pretty much got the name sorted, was just waiting for my mate to have her boy which she did yesterday by c-section on her birthday and 4 weeks early and she named him Alfie which isnt what we had choosen. lol

27 weeks

25 Weeks

25 Weeks today, feeling bubs moving all the time! and i mean ALL the time he is a total wiggle bum he may just replace one of the wiggles one day!

Grass people

Sam and I have made some egg grass people, took awhile for them to start growing but they are away now!, we are going to wait for them to get abit longer then give them haircuts.
We had a great day yesterday we went for a walk along the river and tool some bread along to feed the ducks, sam LOVES giving the ducks there bread but doesnt like it if one is being a meany and eating all the bread.

23 weeks and we have a cold :(

had the midwife today and all is going well, apart from this crappy cold that me and sam have and the daily dose of heartburn all is going along nicely lol
Feeling very unfit tho and wish this weather would clear up so i can go walking after being on weight watchers to get the weight off im now having to watch the scales go up again and im not liking it at all! actually im rather looking forward to it being over so i can get myself back on track and get healthy again. Not that being pregnant isnt nice its just i know what hard work i have ahead of me!

Day at the Zoo

Samuel has a star chart that he works hard to get all 7 stars and then he gets a reward and he choose to go to the zoo!!! Yay i love the Zoo :)

We managed to catch afew feeding times, Sam loved the Rhinos, there was a mummy with her baby girl, so cute!

Apart from the crazy wind and abit of a shower it was a great day out. Plan on going to the Auckland zoo next time.

21 Weeks pic

Hmmm not alot happening at the mo, just crusing along. Getting heaps of movement at night while im trying to sleep! lil monkey.
Went to Matatamata for the weekend and a girlfriend of mine there has a 6 week old boy so we got to have a visit with them and Sam sure didnt like it when the baby cried! he took off and hid in his room and then fell asleep. lol so ive will have to keep reminding him about how babies cry.

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had our 20 week scan yesterday and it was our first look at bubs so it was very exciting! My scan person was a male with a thick russian accent! was alittle weird as he would only speak to tell us what he was looking at "babys feet"......."babys eyes"......"babys heart"........ he wasnt the warmest of people so made it alittle less exciting and the fact that i could hardly see the screen didnt help.
At the end he asked if there was anything we wanted to look at, ummmmmmmm yes please how about what sex the baby is??? So within seconds he had a image of some boy bits :) greg and I were alittle disapointed as we were hoping for a girl, just cause im not sure i want more than two kids and one of each always sounds nice lol and it takes the temptation to go for a third try!!! But after letting it stink in that we are having another boy we are both very happy, and i think a brother is the best thing for sam :) So its on to baby names and what started out as hard to think of any has turned into a huge list! Greg and I went and got baby his first outfit to wear as a way to celebrate and went out to lunch while sam was in Kindy. And today we are off to my maternity jeans hemmed and to find a new stroller.
Man half way there already! bit scary really.

New hair do

Had a mop chop the other day to make the most of my natural curls and take out alot of the bulk. Everytime i go to the hairdressers i here about how much hair i have lol and i got my fringe cut back in. Today i put in a dark brown with red colour and i really like it, had a urge to go darker. Man its been over a year since i went to the hairdressers!

18week pic

Well im 19 weeks now and are still having the odd morning of being sick grrrrrrr!!!! and having some growing pains as this tum of mine gets bigger and bigger.
We shifted house a week or so ago and man i was sore the next day think i over did it just alittle. Took Sam to lollipops yesterday and he had a blast! he was so excited it was his reward from his starchart so he had worked hard to get to go there. Without thinking about it i got on the bouncy castle with sam and greg and dont think baby was to inpressed with all the jumping around cause she/he was giving me some good kicks when i sat down afterwards :)
Man there must be something in the air as heaps of people i know are preggers! the list just keeps growing.
Have my scan next tues to see what the sex is, cant wait as its our first look at baby, fingers crossed all is looking good in there. :)

Moving house

Man we are moving house this weekend and our place is a bombsite! Greg is home at the moe with his days off so this time im getting some help packing atleast! went and had another nosey at the new place now that its empty and im happy to say i still really like it! Phewwwww
Sam will have funky purple carpet and we are having green in our bedroom lol
Gregs birthday next tuesday so hopefully we will be all settled in by then.
17 weeks along now and have midwife next week on the thrusday and then should be making appointment for my scan and we can find out the sex YAY cant wait to see bubs.

16 weeks

16 weeks today, starting to move along abit faster now. Morning sickness has pretty much gone just the odd day here and there im still sick in the morning. Starting to feel little movements and sometimes a certain part of my tum will get real hard.
Midwife visit in afew weeks and then next then will be my scan to see what sex bubs is.
Samuel is pretty excited still about baby and today gave my tummy and kiss and cuddle for the baby was very cute.
Greg is the dog house as he somehow lost half of my photos that were on the hardrive so about a years worth of photos gone! i lost sams 1st and 2nd birthday pics and his 2nd xmas pics plus a ton of other firsts moments, like him walking and first swim etc so you could say i was abit upset about it. But not much i can do about it now apart from make greg my slave for the rest of the year! :)
Moving house is afew weeks, had enough of my neighbours from hell and i found out the last tenants in here left for the same reasons! feel sorry for the next person to move in here.
Might take a 16 week pic and add it later on.

12 Weeks YAY

Ive made it to the 12 week mark, man time goes slow! pass that so called danger zone. Had second midwife visit today and all is going well. Got to hear the babys heartbeat, was so cool to hear it and it made it feel so much more real.
Only gained 400g since my last visit which i was happy about as i feel like ive gained 3kgs!
Might have to take a 12 week piccy and see if it looks like a baby bump or just extra flab lol
Sam has started kindy so i had best be off and pack his lunchbox :)

Hope everyone is well

make it stop!!

Oh my god mornings sickness sucks! Well it use to be afternoon sickness but the last two days i havent been able to keep my toast and cup of tea down. I even made greg serve my breakfast in bed this morning in the hope it would prevent me from being sick, but no such luck :(
And sam has woken with a cough so i can see us both curling up on the couch today.
Meant to be going to matamata for the weekend with sam so he can see his grandparents, be yesterday when i drove i had to pull over to be sick :( so im not to sure what i will do now.
And my nice new car that we have had for all of a month is now at the panel beaters after i stopped at some school lights last friday and the lady behind me must of been day dreaming as she drove straight into the back of me! Gave me whiplash, sam thank god was fine and THANK GOD no child had decided to cross over as i got pushed so far forward i would of hit them :( Was not a good morning.

Well i hear the couch calling me :)
