4 weeks, 4 days and counting!

I can;t wait till this baby gets here, for the first time ever I am a little bit over being pregnant, having to watch what i eat, monitor my blood sugars, and this kid must have a future as a kick boxer cause some one forgot to tell him he is supposed to stop moving as he gets less room in there! Other from that the pregnancy is going great, I thought I would be on insulin by next week but my readings are improving, Some on suggested to me that I try and have more at each meal and had carb free snacks, and it is working. Apparentl it has something to do with your body not being able to cope with having carbs every couple of hours and then none at all at night. Go Figure, but it seems to be working.

Thomas has been sick the last few days, nothing major, threw up once and has had the runs a bit (sorry TMI) but has had a fever, think it may have been some sort of viral gastro. Now I think Kaylee is getting it, I went in to wake up the girls and she woke up, we went into bed for our normal cuddle and she started to go back to sleep so I got her a bottle and put her back to bed and she is out to it! See how she is when she gets up I guess, we are supposed to go to play group this morning but if she is sick I guess it will be another day at home for us!

31 more days and I turn 30 :( LOL! I have decided to have a birthday lunch, I was thinking of having a party a few weeks later but I can;t see my self wanting to organise it wil a new baby. and then I will be disappointed later that I did nothing, so a lunch it is!

Well I had better go and have a quick shower and get my day started, Thomas is at me to dress him, he is not like his mum, doesnt like being in his pj's all day!!! LOL!
Hope you are all well!

Another day, same stuff

Ever wish your house looked different everytime you woke up? I do, I am so sick of cleaning the same stuff every day, woe is the life of a SAHM. Jamie reckons I have the easy job, but I said to him how about all next week I go into you work everynight and pull apart the kitchen you built that day so you had to redo it all again the next day!!!!!

Nikiesha had her first competition of the year last night and I am so proud of her, she has been a bit worried about it for the last few weeks as she is not picking the routines up as easy this year as she has moved up to juniors and it is all a bit harder, but she was a star as usual!!!!!!!!!

Were off to Mum and Dad's for tea tonight, Jamie is over there now finishing off the front fence, gonna have a roast, mmmmm.

As of tomorrow we only have 5 weeks till this baby arrives!!! OMG! Or as Jamie says, five weeks till he gets a week off! LOL! Not that is is really going to be a week off for im cause he will have the other four kids, and I plan on having a nice holiday myself!!!!!! Not leaving that hospital this time till the kick me out HAHAHAHAHA!

Oh SO Tired

Kaylee has played up the last 2 nights and last night THomas decided to join her!!!! I have had jack sleep over the last two days and I am really feeling it. I wnt to the Target Toy Sale this morning and as I was on my way to the check out to pay for some things I had this overwhelming urge to cry for no reason what so ever!!!!!! Stupid hormones!!!!!!

Nikiesha had a great birthday yesterday, she has lots of new stuff to play with and HEAPS of money to buy more!!!! Daddy brought her a very pretty pair of heart earrings which he took her to pick out. Nanna, Pop and her aunts, uncles and cousins brought her a HSM Blanket and Bratz Hair Straightening kit which she was very happy about, right now she is crimping Rhiaan's hair!!!!!

Got most of what I wanted in Target this morning, except for the thing that Jamies mum wants to give to the girls, neither of the Targets here had any, I don't think one got them at all. It was the winner of the Girls Toy of the year award and considering what happened with the Bindeez last year it made me wonder if they were worried about something!!!!!

Well better go and do some house work seeing I sat at my friends house all after noon avoiding it LOL!

Happy Birthday Nikiesha

My little girl is 10 today. She is growing up so fast and I am very proud of the woman she is becoming!!!! I mark turning double figures I brought her her first grown up watch, and tonight Daddy will take her shopping for a new pair of earrings!

We have one of my best friends sons birthday's today as well so we are off to Hungry Jacks after tea, and then will come home and wait for a few family members and friends to get her and have Birthday Pavlova (her choice) and some nibbles.

I had a check up at the hospital and got some good news and some disappointing news....

I will start with the disappointing news, although my sugar readings look good over the day if you look at them over the few weeks they are slowly rising....They started off a high 4's and low 5's but are now high 5's and low 6's.....which basically means thata s my pregnancy progresses it is getting worse (did last time too) so I will end up on insulin. I have tried everything I can, but not even having small amounts of carb and then exercising is making much of a difference.

The good news is that I got to see one of the head OB's and told him about them not being able to book me in until 39.5 weeks, and he said that wasn't early enough especially with the diabetes. He went away and come back and said how does September 1st sound! I am exactly 38 weeks on that day. So only 5 weeks and 5 days left!!!!!!

Well I had better go, got plenty of cleaning and cooking to do!!!!!!

What a weekend

WOW I am glad this weekend is over.

Saturday we had my Godsons birthday party. Then home to do the rest of the shopping for Nikiesha's birthday party. Then after dinner (chicken Curry in a Hurry, beautiful!!) We went to mum and dad's to have drinks with my brother for his birthday....Then sunday I had 10 giggling girls at my house for Nikiesha's birthday! They all had a ball, and we're very well behaved. It pured rain the whole time so they were inside for the whole 2 hours so they did well.

She got some very nice presents, but one I am shattered about, a watch!! Which is what I spent hours looking for as her present from us, so now she will have two! She also got a great scrapbooking kit from a friend from dancing and is bugging me for photos again LOL! I really should get off my toosh and sort some out for her!

The rest of my week is going to be pretty average, gym, toysale, Nikiesha's birthday, one of my BF's sons birthday the same day as Nikiesha's and next weekend Nikeisha's first calisthenics comp for the year!

OH and the biggest challenge this week will be weaning Kaylee off having a bottle in bed!!! She is already showing me right now that she is not going to make it easy for me!!!!!

Spent too much money today

Hi Everyone

I had a great day of retail therapy today. Big W opened in Geelong as well as 100 other new stores!!! Our Westfield has basically doubled!!!! They had some great specials, and I didn't buy anything that we didn't need, but god it was the quickest $200 I have ever spent. Jamie got new Jumpers for work and home, flannelette shirts and Pjs, I got some new pj's for hospital, Kaylee got new Pj's and a top that says I love Kisses Hugs and Daddy, Thomas got new pj's, the girls got a new top each, and I brought Nikiesha's birthday present for next Wednesday!

I decided I wanted to buy her something to mark turning double figures, so I thought her first grown up watch would be nice. Have any of you tried to find a watch for a kid that is not babyish? They all had those rubber bands covered in flowers, Hello Kitty etc. I wanted something grown up but not expensive as I don't want to freak about her wearing it to school. I finally found one in Selera's, which is a snobby kind of store and I wasn't even going to look in there! It has a nice pink leather band with a square face and have a heart on the face. Very happy with it. I also got her a pair of High School musical Pyjamas. Then on the day Jamie will take her over to get something special from Daddy which he has decided that he wants to do every year now, as if they don't get enough LOL!

I let Kaylee wear her new PJ's tonight, OMG i have ever seen a 15month old get so excited about clothes I shouldn't have been surprised as she is always draping herself with anything that gets left on the floor. She was so happy kept rubbing them and going up to the others babbling at them and pointing at her sleeves!!!! OMG how bad is she going to be when she is a teenager!!!!

OH and for those who know her Angie is still alive I saw her today, passed each other on the elevator LOL!

Well better go and get some dishes done so I can get to bed at a decent hour!

By For now

Schools Back

Hi Everyone,

Well school is back and it is nice and quiet here for a change but poor Kaylee is lost with out the girls. When they were home she was outside with them all the time and now wants me to go out there with her, but I can't stay out there all day, well I could, but no house work would get done.

I have started spring cleaning and the kitchen is almost done, I will finish it when the kids go down for a nap this after noon. Need to do the insides of the cupboards and I can't do that when Kaylee is up, they are her favorite play things at the moment. She has a ball in the tupperware cupboard when I am cooking tea!

I had a fall last friday which was a bt scary, tripped over the uneven concrete in the drive way, my hands took the brunt of it, but my belly coped it a bit too, but thanks god bubs started moving around like normal a few mins later.

Pregnancy is going well so far, I am still managing to control the GD with exercise and diet, which is fab cause I am loosing weight too. My bump is really compact this time for 31 weeks, I am sure I was much bigger with the others! Maybe that is a good sign that we will have a nice little baby, not that they others have been huge. Even better, maybe it is a sign that I will not have any extra to loose than I already have! LOL! We have gotten the date for our c-section and I'm not happy with the hospital abut it. The specialist want me done at 38 weeks cause of all the drama I normally have but they can't get me in till 39.5 weeks!!! You would think that seeing it is for a medical reason they would book it in earlier so that there is no problems getting you in when you need to be! SO even though at the min I am booked in for September 10th that could change at any of the next appts, especially after I have had my ultrasound at 34 weeks.

It's Nikeisha's 10th birthday next week!!!! OMG where has the time gone!!!! Her turning ten makes me feel older than knowing that I turn 30 the following month!!!!!

Well better go, it is lunch time and I want to put the kids down for a nap so I can eat in piece!

Middle of the holidays!

Well today is Sunday and the first week of the school holidays are over. Jamie goes back to work tomorrow, and out of all the kids Kaylee will miss him the most, she has been his shadow all week!!!!! Last night she wouldn't even come to me cause she was with him, kept shaking her head at me!
Thomas fell yesterday, I have no idea where as I can't make sense of what he said, but he hit his eye which now has a cut on it and is swollen up real good, I think it will def turn into a black eye. When I work out how i will post a picture.
Competition season is starting for calisthenics and my calender is filling up fast, between comps and birthday this baby is going to be here before I know it, and I have done nothing at all to get ready. Something just came to me then, they are going to test me for any Liver problems at 34 weeks so if they find any problems then he could be here in as little as four weeks, OMG I better get cracking!!!!
Well we don't have anything planned for today, well except house work, but that is just normal, I think i might cook something nice for tea and get all my rug rats to bed early so I can spend the last night of his holidays with my hubby.
Hope you are all well!!!!
