Some times its hard

Princess found out today just why she needs to wait a very long time until she is a mummy.

Princess and Sweetness were playing families which Princess always likes to play but the fad may soon be over I think. Today Princess was being the mummy but her baby Sweetness was asking too many questions and wanting her to do lots of things for her and Princess was becoming quite frustrated and I heard
"No, I don't want to be the mummy ANYmore". And then she lets out a big sigh. I had to laugh that her next statement told me that she doesn't really know much about what her Daddy has to do because she decided that she wanted to be the man.

I wonder if she thinks that this job is easier than being mummy;)

Bit of fluff

My little bit of fluff is that GH got to feel a 'kick' last night. I've been aware of kicking for the past two weeks or so but they have just got enough for hubby to have a feel.

Half way there

I can not believe how slow this pregnancy is going for me. I feel a bit like an elephant, both in being pregnant for 20 months rather than 9 and also because...well... I'm a bit on the heavy side.

My tummy is well and truly popped plus some. Now is the time where I am nervous that people will start suggesting I'm carrying twins:/

Our little Angel

Little Princess had her first Ballet concert.

















We Loved seeing her work at something and seeing it through to the end (even if she was a bit shy).

It's a girl

If you haven't already been informed or read on facebook or twitter, we are having another beautiful baby girl.

GH felt happy for two reasons 1. b/c he's having a girl 2. b/c he was right, he never really felt this baby would be a boy, not that he gets 'feelings' or anything.

I am really happy to be having another little girl, I must admit I imagined her as a her I guess because that's what we know. I can just here people say, "Do you know those Graham girls?" The Graham Girls!- sounds really lovely to my ears like a special little club, I just know that all three of them will be great friends if Princess and Sweetness are anything to go by. My only concern was that looking at the ultrasound 3d pictures Sweetness said she was scared of the baby and that she looked like a dinosaur. Luckily Princess stood up for her littlest sister and promptly told Sweetness that dinosaurs are extinct (she's so clever, i didn't know what extinct meant till I was in year 8).


So now our only problem is finding another name for this little girl- having a few of the same sex means you tend to run out of names you really love, I am hoping something will just pop out at GH and myself at some point in the next 21 weeks.

When GH saw this picture he was quite smitten as he said 'she has your nose' to me. Ahh my life in filled with such joy. GH was also right that knowing the gender does help you to bond just a little more in these early stages. I definitely find that I am a little bit more in love with her today:)

A bit of a special day

Good morning all, its a bit early for me but GH was up early for work because today he needs to be home for our scan.

It's a bit special because we get to find out a bit more about our newest family member. I know so people enjoy the surprise at the end and maybe if GH wasn't so interested to know I might too but I guess this gives us a surprise too just earlier.
So the theories atm is GH predicts a girl. Although before he left he was telling me of all the people he knows who have had two girls and then a boy.

My theory is that it could be a boy. The pregnancy hasn't been drastically different but there have been a few subtle differences.

Princess started the journey wanting a baby brother, then another sister but the other day in the car she almost had me in tears because she said summed it up so well.

Mummy: So do you want a brother today or a sister?

Princess: Mummy, I want whatever is in there (pointing to my tummy).

So little girl or little boy we are all excited to meet you soon and today we are excited to know just a little more about you.

Christmas Blogging

Well I saw on Kelly's Korner her new Christmas site and I decided to try one of my own.

Really my last nine Christmas' has been so amazing I thought I would share where I was and the special event of that year.

2000- My first year as a married woman. We were living in Bairnsdale in Victoria at the time but we travelled back to Brisbane to spend it with our families. During this time we also bought our first house.

2001- Actually this year I cannot remember too well but I am guessing we spent this with our families in Brisbane and Caloundra.

2002- This year was quite magical- even though we were not with our families this was my first cold Christmas! We spent it in Brugges in Belgium. It didn't snow but it was so cold and the food was so rich and the waffles were the best I have ever tasted.

2003
We were invited by our good friends in the UK to spend Christmas with them and their family. Chanene was a wonderful cook and it was a great day.

2004- We arrived back in Australia on Christmas Eve night and had a great family Christmas with both families. What we didn't know at the time was that we were pregnant with our Princess.

2005- Princess was a bit older than 3 months this Christmas. And it was so exciting sharing Christmas with a new baby. She did great even with spending the whole day out and about with families

2006- We managed to have a Christmas in our house with a 15 month old- this year she could unwrap the presents herself and she had a great time with her new toys, so fun to watch.

2007- We were joined by Sweetness this Christmas. That was enough to make it special and the fact that we were in our new house too- with a trampoline and swing set:)
2008- Getting time off for GH was difficult and so when he was told to take holidays at Christmas we decided that it was a great time for a beach Christmas, it was so much fun.

Which leads us to 2009- Two beautiful children and a third on the way- family to spend time and feasting with. I can't wait...
