Its been so long

I can not get over how long its been since my last post.....Well let me tell you that I have been busy, huh busy been preggy. Jada has achived to totally drive me insane, not to sure if that was the reason I decided to have children haha.

Jada has fallen down our spiral staircase this time, almost all the way up and as I turned around she fell straight back, a mothers worst nightmare, I dont wish it on anyone, but she was fine, oh she cried alot and wont go up the strair unless we carry her, but she was fine.....ME on the other was not, we have it blocked off but when we go up there we can not lock it behind us, and thats what happened, but we are very thankful she is ok and we all have learnt a very important lesson...Children and Stairs dont mix.

The baby's room is coming along, no still no hints Anita, but we have been busy getting it ready, somethings in life are just so cute and fluffy and adorable, but thats the fun of having babies, then they reach 18months and its all over, and the only time your heart melts is when they skin the knee and call for mummy or they are asleep with thumb in mouth cuddling teddy and you think what was all the fuss about butter wouldnt melt in their mouth.

Done a little cooking this week, including some absolutley unreal Thyme and Fennel bread, I got the recipe from a friend Emma, made some kfc and then we were totally grossed out by a tummy full of grease, but the good thing about that is you always know you get a huge craving for ALOT of vegies.

I went and had our monthly mum's dinner the other day, it was so relaxing, hence to say I didnt have Jada, this one was a mexican lunch and yummy, I think that I will have mine after the baby is born, at this stage its going to be an Indian dinner, curries, saffon rice, and lots of hot spices ... my mouth is watering already.

Well I am in the middle of making things for the new etsy shop, I was going to go with the one thing but decided that I am just having way to much fun with these creations, all will be revealed soon.

Better get back to the mummy chores

I was delighted to open my email this morning (Easter Sunday) and find that I had won a book, since having Jada I could honestly say that I have not picked up a book, now I have every reason to jump right back into what I love to do, read.

A little about the book.

For reasons beyond her control, Sophie finds herself alone in the wartorn Spanish countryside. What was once a thriving paradise has become a battleground for fascist soldiers and Spanish patriots. She is caught up in the escalating events when the route to safety is blocked and fighting surrounds her. On her darkest night, Sophie takes refuge with a brigade of international compatriots. Among these volunteers, she pledges to make the plight of the Spanish people known around the world through the power of art.

Ummm sounds like the kettle is going to have to be hot for awhile now.

Well Friday was the traditional Fish on Good Friday, we ate battered barramundi and chips, I should have grilled the fish, but simple greesy food makes a happy family, and its only a one off thing, this year anyway.

I hope that Easter Bunny came to all you good boys and girls out there, I know when my husband went to work this morning, I jumped out of bed like I was ten years old again and raced down the stairs to see if he had been, and much to this pregnant womens delight he had... Thanks Easter Bunny

Buns made

Hot Cross Buns turned out ok, bit on the harder side, but that was the flour that I used, I just don't think that I was born to experiment.

Well Jacki came over yesterday and we started the vegie patch, hmmm we lasted an hour with the girls falling in the dirt and screaming their heads off, Jada was that dirty that after a bath she had to have another one, so we are doing it when the husbands are home and can look after them, but we did get a fair bit done.

76 days to go

It has been awhile since I last blogged, but I have been so busy.

I am finally booked into KE Hospital, so at least I know where I am having the baby, now I just cross my fingers that i dont got into labour anytime soon, not with the baby being in a breach position and 4 and a half hours away from the hospital, I think that I will start getting the hospital bag ready soon.

Well we got home from Perth last night and I decided that I would make all my meals for the week up today..... Im stuffed.... but now I know that it will be a pretty easy going week, just take it out of the freezer and pop it into the oven, somethings you can not do, but the cassarole and the pasta bake, or even a curried sausages is easy.....

Jada had wonderful time at Nanny and Poppy's over the past few days, Tia was happy to see the back end of her when it was time to leave.

I think that tomorrow will have to be the time to get in the holiday mode and make some Hot Cross Buns for Easter, I just know Chris is going to love them.
