Welcome to Daisy May Macdonald 14th Feb 2007 – 3.674kg 52cm

We have ourselves a little lady! How would have thought? We welcomed Daisy May into the world at 8.41pm on Valentines Day night after an induction and a 12 hour labour. Things looked like they could have turned pear shaped and we almost had to have a caesar but I managed to push her out into the … [Read more...]

Just Sittin’. And waitin’. And hopin’. And prayin’.

For a baby! This is getting bad - Reg isn't due until Saturday and I am already over it. Imagine if I am late (which there is every chance I will be). No one told me about this bit of pregnancy...It's been a hard week for me. I have been trying to adjust to life without work (which hasn't been that … [Read more...]

Still here….

I have taken to telling Reg at every chance "you can come out now I've washed the walls", "you can come out now I have wahed your sheets", "you can come out now I have been to the hairdressers" and today "you can come out now Lucy is home!" But alas no movement at the station.Today is day 4 of being … [Read more...]

Last Day at work – woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I made it. I finally made it! Hurrah! Today is my last day at work and I am excited to say the least. It couldn't have come soon enough as I am swelling up like a balloon after each day at work. The heat hasn't helped but I think just having to concentrate and focus on work has been exhausting. Rob … [Read more...]

Dreams of bombs, cold weather and clean walls…

I think I am almost almost almost about to turn the corner from happy pregnant rd into totally over it street. It's hot and I am getting very uncomfortable. I don't want to be at work anymore I just want to be home getting stuff ready!I have been having VERY strange dreams. Some at night, some … [Read more...]

36 weeks – Reg almost fully baked

I can't believe that we are at 36 weeks already. Rob and I keep saying "we are going to have a baby in a few weeks" and just laugh. It's crazy. Well actually I tend to cry when we have these discussions but generally we are both just so excited that we get to meet Reg soon.I have been feeling pretty … [Read more...]

Happy New Year

Back from a 2 week break over Christmas which was great. We had a lovely Christmas with both families and then a trip up to EIEIO for New Years. I am pleased to report that I was still able to walk up from the river and even get into the river from the swimming rock (when I thought months ago that I … [Read more...]

Baby Shower

I had my (well Reg has his/her) baby shower yesterday afternoon at Mum's place. It was a lovely afternoon, lots of yummy food and champagne, tea and cakes! Reg was totally spoiled by everyone - we got SOOOOOO much stuff. I can't wait to get it all home and unpack in the nursery. We are just the … [Read more...]

30 weeks

Week 30 has arrived and it all seems to be going so fast now. 10 weeks to go almost only 2 months - how have I been pregnant for this long??? And how has this all gone so quickly???Feeling fantastic - heaps of energy and feeling good every day. I must say that at the end of the day there are a few … [Read more...]

Bumps in the night (& day!)

Well here we are at 29 weeks today. I can't believe how time seems to be disappearing from us. Christmas will be here soon enough and I don't know even know how I am going to cope when I see that we are in Jan and it's 2007 which means the baby is almost here. It's almost too much excitement to … [Read more...]

Pictures @ 28 weeks

Thought I would try out our new digital camera and take some shots last night. Here are some of me at 28 weeks as well as some of Reg's room. We also went for a swim last night at Clovelly so thought I would throw those in for good measure as well. Not liking this hot weather I have to tell you! … [Read more...]

Reg has a room!

Well sort of...we had a very busy weekend preparing what will be Reg's room and turning it from make shift room full of crap/garage /storage space to baby room. We hired and van and did a load to the tip and re-arranged our other cupboard space to make room for the left over stuff that we couldn't … [Read more...]

Oh No…

Sunday night I was watching TV (there was nothing on) and so we were flicking between channels and landed on some ridiculous Abba show with B & C grade channel 9 celebrities singing Abba songs. All was quiet on the baby front...until...High 5 came on. Well Reg thought they were fabulous and started … [Read more...]

Alien? No baby!

Last night I was sitting down after dinner (a delicious spaghetti bol - my own version of Mum's Spaghetti) and I felt a few big kicks. So I look down at the expanded tummy before me and ACTUALLY SEE MY STOMACH MOVE UP AND DOWN! This kind of freaked me out because I was always too scared to feel … [Read more...]

Reg has wheels!

We are both pretty excited as we made our first baby purchase yesterday - Reg's pram! It was very exciting to have something at home and made it all seem very real indeed - there is a baby a comin'... We also bought some cots sheets as well but don't have the cot as yet. We are so lucky to be … [Read more...]

Picture @ 23 weeks

See what a difference two weeks makes in baby time? I am looking pretty big! This was taken last night after a very big Mexican dinner and seeing a friend of ours do comedy so it was late & I was tired. That's my story as to why I look so pretty and I am sticking to it.All is well in Reg's world. … [Read more...]

Dear Reg…

It's 3 years ago today that your Dadda and I went on our first date! And what a date it was....I remember laughing a lot and trying to be my funniest & wittiest right back. I still feel that same excitement when I am meeting him somewhere or when I see that he is ringing me or sending a text. I am … [Read more...]

Picture @ 21 weeks duffed

Thought I would show you some snaps taken this morning - not looking very attractive and you can't really see the tummy that well but thought I would add it in anyway. Might try to take some more on the weekend... … [Read more...]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh Freakout…(hear disco version of song)

I managed to freak myself out yesterday when I realised that I am 21 weeks along which means that there are 19 to go. That's less time to go then more...as in the baby comes in 19 weeks...we are actually in the countdown now. I know it probably makes sense to you - but to me it caused a slight … [Read more...]

Half Baked

So this week I am 20 weeks pregnant which means half way there! It's hard to believe that we are there already and even scarier to think that we are now on the countdown to when Reg gets here. We will have to start to get our act together!!You can however, tell there is a baby on the way, as the … [Read more...]
