Well I thought it was time to update this again. I’ve got a nice hot cuppa tea, my slippers are on and the place is quiet. Even dinner is sorted, I got super keen yesterday and made two huge fish pies, two apple and apricot crumbles, batch of scones, huge pot of pumpkin soup and a Mexican tortilla meal for tonight.

I wanted to do something to help Mum out, she has been having a hard time of it lately, (my Nana is in hospital having an assessment for Dementia) so I gave her one of the fish pies and apple crumbles. I find it hard to support Mum with the health side of it, I don’t like all the details about disorders etc. My Mum and Sister share a compassion to sick people that I don’t seem to have, I will help anyone out but don’t cope well with the hands on stuff, I always feel out of my element (I’m sure I’ll get better at it when bubs arrives) but at the moment I’m much happier to support with food and a listening ear.

In other news, bubs and I are doing well. I’ve been feeling a bit down over the past few days but I think it has more to do with the grey dreary weather than anything else. It was however a lovely sunny day today, I was at work for most of it but it made for a sunnier disposition Also I have been having Braxton hicks for the past few weeks, they are the strangest feeling. I would happily lose them, but my midwife assures me they are a good thing hehe

I checked out the calendar this morning and was shocked to notice my sister’s due date is next Wednesday!!! Bloody heck where did the time go… I now have to urge to get all my stuff sorted as my time is creeping closer and closer!

I am still really excited about the birth, not sure if this will change as I get closer but at the moment I enjoying learning all the bits and bobs at the anti-natal class.

Onto the creative side of things, here are some cards I made for the monthly card swap. The theme was baby so I used a cuttlebug baby themed embossing folder that I got recently. I also picked up two stamps on special, one says “It’s a girl” and the other “It’s a boy”. Quick and easy cards!

Also a 30th birthday card I whipped up for my brother in law.
