yesterday was a day that had me feeling pretty darn fantastic and happy and grateful for a bunch of things.
here's 10 things i jotted down that really had my heart singing!
1. seeing 'little baby matthews #3' during our 20 week scan
we saw lbm3 stretch it's legs out, move it's arms.....aaahhhhh makes my heart melt. i love how even though this is baby #3, the scans are still exciting, seeing baby move on the screen is still such a thrill. i'm starting to feel the movement a bit more too!
2. memories of the weekend at mum and dad's
the girls and i went up for 3 days to my parent's farm, which also happens to be the place i grew up. it wasn't as cold as i'd expected it to be given it's winter. the girls absolutely love tess the puppy. i must admit i fell in love with the little brown fluff-ball too! avril even learnt 2 new words - 'cup-cakes' and 'nake'....yes, my girls saw red-belly black snakes whilst out driving with mum and dad feeding the cattle. yes, snakes. in the middle of freakin' winter!! argh!
3. the mechanic got the job in broken hill!
my brother applied for a job with CAT in broken hill a few weeks ago. he drove out there for an interview and since then they've had him doing medicals, police checks, and physio checks. they also called all of his referees yet never actually said he had the job. until yesterday! he starts in septemeber. i'm so excited for him! yes he'll be a long long way away, but he's living out his dreams and is happy. power to ya mechanic.
4. my amazing husband
been going thru some icky family issues for the past couple of months. my husband has been amazing through it all. even though he does not agree with how i have handled some things, he is supporting me in what i am deciding to do. he's also very helpful with our girls when i'm feeling too tired or the nausea from being pregnant decides it's time to play. he's looked after our girls a couple of times on his own on days he should be at work when i've just wanted sleep and quiet cos of the blasted headaches i get when pregnant. thankfully they're not coming around as often! just thinking of how amazing my man is as a husband and a friend and how he is with our girls really makes me smile. so lucky!
5. fantastic health
so far this winter, all i've had to deal with is chunky coughs and runny noses from the girls. the agent got a cold the weekend we went to my parents and i've been really lucky and hardly been unwell. compared to last year, it's awesome! last year bug was unwell from the end of april till september with a constant runny nose, cough and ear infections in both ears. they were never bad ear infections, just constantly there. poor little thing. however this year, nothing. nada! i do think that if we come down with something, we'll come down hard!
6. the rain
that's the country girl in me. i know how important the rain is. it rained on and off yesterday, and was raining last night when i went to bed. i love listening to the rain as i fall asleep. i tried really hard last night to just concentrate on the sound of the rain however i think i fell asleep too quickly to really appreciate the sound properly!
7. my girls
i love them to bits. even though they drive me bananas a fair bit of the time, there is so much love, laughter and happy memories in those 2 little people. they constantly amaze me - bubble with how grown up she is and bug with the new words she comes out with. and they're so much fun! they play together the majority of the time really really well. as my mum said 'they'll be best of friends......and probably worst of enemies!' yup, when they clash, the clash bad. already!
8. LBM#3 being perfect
we saw my obstetrician after the 20 week scan yesterday and she said everything is going perfectly. baby's measurements are perfect and everything is good with me too. she even tried to see lbm3's sex, but said the cord was between it's legs so she had no idea. not that i want to know! surprise till the end for me thanks!
9. my iPod
it was playing a great selection of songs one after the other. it was awesome! made doing housework a whole lot more bearable!
10. the weekend is near!
2 more days and the agent will be home for the day, or most of! the agent does not work sundays and so we've already planned that he'll do a bike ride in the morning and then we'll get stuck in to cleaning the house. i'm also planning that once the agent has done his bike ride i'm going to the c25k twice on the treadmill. and i don't mind a day at home. the agent has said he was have a couple of appointments to do, and that's fine. so long as he tells me about them prior to sunday i can cope with his working on his day off!
