All Things Mum

Today is our first day of Winter. I am still baking baby number 4. I will be 39 weeks tomorrow. I was 39weeks when lil J was born (pictured above). I feel pretty big but feeling like bub is quite low and getting kicks right in the middle up high. I am hoping that there will be something happening tomorrow. In the meantime there was lots of nesting: i.e. cleaning and washing. We attended a wedding a few Sundays ago and gee it was lovely. The food was great and best of all we too all the kids with us. The only shoes I had which fit my feet were heels and I totally regret it. Anyway, it was fun being barefoot and pregnant at the reception. I cut up a turtle neck top for Miss 4.5 but have procrastinated in finishing it. I want to double the fabric as the knit is rather light and not warm enough for our cold weather. I've only got around to making some dresses for her naked Barbie dolls, lol. So watch this space because I'm sure it will be rather eventful once our last baby makes hi...

I love walking into my bathroom and seeing these roses from our front garden. Father in law had pruned them a while ago and now they are coming back so beautifully. They were just from Bunnings and I think I picked a good variety. There's an exquisite yellow one with red along the edges. It's actually fallen over in the vase but I have since taped it back up. It also has the sweetest perfume. So there I am with my almost 33wk belly and counting down the weeks. Soon I hope to count down days and pull out the winter gear for this baby. I've never had a winter baby before so it will definately be one of my many challenges. I still can't believe I am carrying a baby again and everyone says they forget I am pregnant. I guess they are use to me just getting through each day as though it were a breeze. Truly, I tell you, it is not. I'm better at planning though so when some of the kids are asleep (esp. the youngest) I can pull out the mop and clean my kitchen ...
