Jellybean Watch – Final Countdown

4 weeks to go. In theory. That theory doesn’t take into account happy dwellers like Riley who opted to stay inside for an extra two weeks. But for the sake of argument and my sanity we’ll say I have four weeks to go. Four weeks until I can look accusingly at my belly and say [...]

5 Things I’m Grateful For

Today I’m joining in with the Maxabella Loves I’m Grateful For blog hop. This is also a link post for the Aussie Mummy Bloggers 31 Day Challenge. Look at me multi-tasking! 1. This Photo I doubt anyone loves this photo as much as I do. Anyone who reads my blog will have noted it’s distinct [...]

Chaos Rules

There it is. One of the many piles of clothes that I’ve sorted through of Riley’s old clothes. Note the pink dominance. At least if the jellybean is a girl, I have a huge array of pink clothes now all sorted by size. I’ve ignored the fact that baby sizes are far from uniform. And [...]

Jellybean Watch – Week 36

The beginning of week 36 begins tomorrow and I’ve got 5 weeks to go. 5 weeks if you take the highly arbitrary 40 weeks as something solid. Which it’s not. We discussed my birth plan last week at my check up. Which is your average run of the mill – induction as an absolute last [...]

145/365 Left for Dust

You’ll note that a huge amount of photos are now taken from behind. There’s a reason for that. It’s called mama can’t get up from a squatting position, let alone keep up in the park. This is where a healthy amount of outsourcing comes in handy. There are swimming lessons, dance lessons (that start today), [...]

144/365 Sleep Deprivation Training

I’m in training. Apparently. In preparation for coping with newborn and baby sleep deprivation, the toddler has decided that the best thing to do is prepare me for it by reverting into a non-sleeping, hyperactive version of herself. Very considerate. But really, pointing the finger at her isn’t doing me any good. I’m the genius [...]

Nesting Isn’t All It’s Cracked Up To Be

Sometimes nesting is a good thing. When you are fast approaching the size of a whale it gives you the necessary get up and go to do that last little bit of organising/cleaning/shopping. But most of the time it’s ridiculous. Entirely ridiculous. Example: When I was pregnant with Riley I began ironing towels. Towels! Entire [...]

The Easy Pregnancy

In case you haven’t guessed I’m being just a teensy bit sarcastic with the use of my word ‘easy’. But the truth is, it has been relatively easy. Apart from a few horrid weeks of morning sickness, I’ve basically been sailing along quite happily. And so it’s somewhat surprising, that I found myself sobbing on [...]

Jellybean Watch – Week 29

Look at that belly! That’s freaking huge. I’ve approached the whale stage of pregnancy. My weekly pregnancy alert has informed me that this stage is where my body goes into lard collection mode. I’m sure there was a better way to word that. And I’m equally sure that the wording of blubber attraction for the [...]

123/365 Hello, Carbs

I’m about to embark on the pregnancy glucose test. The long, 2 hour one because there’s a family history of diabetes, making me high risk for the gestational kind. I do not care for this test. It makes you feel ill (and that’s putting it mildly). Plus afterwards the post-sugar crash usually sends me to [...]
