Yep, still just a family of three (me, hubby, plus the dog), in spite of the prolonged absence (sorry to those of you who got excited, thinking this was a hint!). We have been out of the house for a week whilst the house got painted. The house has been beautifully "duluxed" - walls are now Antique White USA, the skirting and architraves White on White and one of the walls in the baby's room is a quite out there shade of Magnetic Magic. But no photos for now... we are hoping to surprise the family when they all come down from interstate to visit bub, so no photos until after bub (and grandparents) have arrived!
Perhaps some exciting news... I have been sewing!!!
This is the end result of some time playing with bright and patterned black and white fabrics...
I am also in the swing of making a not-so-developmentally-stimulating mobile from fabrics which just got me incredibly excited... [will insert a photo of the fabrics here as soon as my camera is charged] photos of the completed mobile to follow shortly. Not to worry --- those of you concerned about early development, there will be other stimulating items for bub to gaze upon!
We have finished our childbirth classes now (and not a moment too soon!) and are now booked in for a caesar as bub is hanging out very high up in my ribs, in breech position mostly, exactly where it has been since 24 weeks, occasionally mixing it up with a bit of transverse lying... lovely! The good news is I don't have to go to the toilet all the time, the less than fabulous news is my ribs ache like crazy. It is quite amazing to be here after our journey to get to this point...
[warning: gratuitous belly shot below! taken a week ago.... check out the outie!]
I hope you are all well and happy and life treating you beautifully.

Looking forward to the pics (once the camera cords are found)!!!
Oh i was wondering if you were off having babies somewhere :) I think I'm getting toey! We finished our classes this weekend as well, it's really happening I think.
Can't wait to see some pics, I want to paint our new house walls antique white so it will be good to see how it looks in a real house.
Good luck! And thanks for posting about the swap.
Only days to go, it's so exciting. I was talking to a friend at work last week who is just starting to try for their first baby. She's a good 10 years younger than me and although we don't want any more children, her excitement, the memory of all the amazing firsts they have ahead, it made me feel nostalgic for having it all over again. I'll stay tuned for lovely updates.
Keeping you guys in my thoughts! It's almost time!
Looking forward to seeing pics of what you've been whipping up. Best wishes for the caesarean and a quick recovery! Can't be long to go (just over one week for me)!
These are the most exciting days of your life...waiting for your baby to be born. I was always overdue too, wonder what my fifth pregnancy will bring. I've joined the swap too, although my baby is for december...
