Pregnancy Update 33 Weeks

Authors: Michelle

Another week in the life of the preggo and this preggo is getting big! But from the 3D scan I had yesterday, it is apparently all baby! There is good and bad news from the scan. The good news is that my placenta has moved up so I can have a natural birth. The bad news is that the baby’s head is about 30cm round – yes, o...

Pregnancy Update 32 Weeks

Authors: Michelle

I achieved a few big milestones this week. First of all is hitting the 8 month mark of my pregnancy…yes, can you believe we’re almost at the pointy end and delivery could literally be within the next 8 weeks…a scarey thought in itself!

The second milestone is turning the big 4-0. Yes, not many of you know that I...

Sorry for the delayed update this week peeps. I have been down for the count with a really bad cold…more on that later.

Hey, I was reading this interesting yet very humorous article this week at Pregnant Chicken called Happily After Giving Birth – 10 Things They Don’t Tell You. OMG…I hope none of it’s true!...

More demolition

Authors: Michelle

The demolition in the downstairs bathroom continued this morning. Clint had some time to kill before heading off to work so as soon as 7am ticked over and noise restriction were off, his power tools were on and he was cutting sheeting off the walls. Here’s some progress pics so you can see where we are at:

 

So there is...

Weekend of activity

Authors: Michelle

It was a hive of activity this weekend. Not only did Clint have a small job to finish off for a customer on Saturday morning, which he took Mackenzee along to but we also had the delivery of a skip bin which means clean up time at our place.  We had a whole pile of rubble from Clint’s retaining wall demolition a few weeks...

Pregnancy Update 30 Weeks

Authors: Michelle

You would think by now, being the 30 week mark, that I would be so used to the idea of being pregnant and having a child. However, and I don’t know if this is just me or first pregnancy in general, but I am still finding the whole concept so surreal.  I was watching a recorded version of “One Born Every Minute U...

Business Update

Authors: Michelle

Earlier this year I quit my corporate job to start my own business. Not a decision for the faint hearted and I can’t deny that the timing wasn’t perfect…who was to know that we would find out I was 4 weeks pregnant on my last few days in my job. However, it was one of the best decisions I have made and definitely...

Pregnancy Update 29 Weeks

Authors: Michelle

The pregnancy is progressing very nicely this week with nothing major to report.  No tears, cravings, sickness…a winner of a week!  I’ve had a lot more energy lately, even suggested a walk with Roxy to Clint today so we could take a look at the back section of our garden now that the enormous tree has been removed. U...

Down it comes

Authors: Michelle

We’ve got a noxious weed. So what, you might ask, everyone has problems with weeds right? Well the difference is that our weed is over 8 metres wide and about the same tall. It’s a rubber tree that has been growing on the green belt right next to our back garden fence.  It’s been a problem for us for many r...
