Been MIA... Catch up posts - Feb 14 2009 Last night I went to see "The Veronicas" with Madeleine... we had the best time together... she told me I am fun, which is so cool to hear. Metro Station also played and Maddy was in awe because "Miley's Brother!!!" is in the band... we were jumping around singing "Shake shake, shake shake it shake it" and then went crazy when The Veronica's got on stage.
I bought her a "I heart Veronica's" Tshirt.
This morning I woke up feeling hung over! OMG it was terrible. I guess that is because of the 2 cups of coke I drank last night doubled with the fact that I didn't go to bed until after midnight. I am so hard core these days! lol... pregnant or not I would still have felt the same way.

Been MIA... Catch up posts - Feb 13 2009 Nothing much to report here. I have been having my on & off moments still... some days the off moments seem to last longer.
Late night shopping sucks right now. We went last night and I felt stupidly faint the whole time I was there... so Rob suggested I get something to eat... how difficult is that?! OMG, I really couldn't have much... I felt like a kebab with tabouli, hommus etc but can't have it due to freaking listeria! In the end I decided on a kebab with cheese... no salad, no nothing. BORING!
It did little to make me feel better. Rob & the kids had butter chicken for dinner and I would have much prefered something like that. Oh well.
Lately I have been craving potatoes... I have found that I only crave potatoes when I am carrying a boy... I wonder if this is the case with this bub... could Bumpty be a blue bundle?
With James I craved potato scallops (or potato cakes as Rob calls them), with Noah it was potato gems with paprika and with Harrison it was my potato salad. Now, it is crunchy hedgehog potatoes... which are peeled, cut & part boiled potatoes... then you scrape a fork down the backs to make them look like hedgehogs... then cook them in oil to make them crunchy. Fattening and yummo. I am trying my darndest to keep away from them, although I did have them twice last week.
Hopefully I get some healthy cravings like I did with Madeleine... with Maddy I firstly craved chicken & sweet corn soup, then oranges for the entire duration of my pregnancy... and I also craved grapefruit juice and salads.

Been MIA... Catch up posts - Feb 5 2009 Well, Harrison had a great birthday yesterday... it is hard to comprehend that 2yrs ago I gave birth to him... it really does feel like yesterday.
Today I bought 2 beautiful candles from Dusk for my home birth. I really want a calm, serene environment for the baby to come in to... I would like candles to be burning and some soothing music playing. I bought a Tibet one and a Bondi one... OMG they smell divine! The Tibet one is my fave at the moment... it is a peachy colour and it is lychee & black tea scent. The Bondi one is a sand colour and is coconut oil, vanilla and ocean freshness scent. They both smell good enough to eat!
Speaking of my home birth... the midwives will be in contact with me 'In the near future' to discuss everything... so that is rather exciting. It all feels so surreal... if it wasn't for the nausea, I would totally forget I was pregnant... I guess it is different now to when I was pregnant with Harrison... I didn't have a 2yr old to run around after and to keep my mind occupied back then.

Been MIA... Catch up posts - Feb 3 2009 Why did I decide to make marinated chicken wings for dinner? Gross, gross, gross! I started to prepare the wings to go in the marinade, and I then started to feel sick. It doesn't help that right now, in front of me, Maddy is making one move like a proper wing and making a squawking noise... gross! I don't remember chicken wings having so many unplucked feathers when I was younger... it is so gross having to pluck them out! I am such a city girl... Rob has no issues with anything animal-ish, including plucking feathers out of a chicken.... oh the joys of marrying a country boy. He also worked in an abbattoir for a little while so definitely has no animal issues, me however stopped eating meat in my teens because it grossed me out big time. I basically lived on vegies, and macaroni & cheese... there was no way I could go vegan because I loved my milk & cheese. Now that I am pregnant again, I understand my thoughts back then... meats are making me feel so sick, I hate walking past the butcher section in Woolworths because all I can smell is dead animals (sorry!) Hmmmm... I wonder if the bub would be ok if all I ate was vegies, and Mac & cheese again? lol
It is times like this that I am thankful for having older children that like to help out in the kitchen... they're plucking away in front of me whilst I whinge here on the computer.
