Brain not working.....

Another pregmentia moment! Ok..... nothing as stupid as throwing out my $450 orthotics by accident!!

But tonight the kids were having fruit salad for desert. Alex had a grape on her spoon and here is our conversation:

Alex = 'Mum, what's this called again".

Mum = a sultana

Alex = noooo, what's it called

Mum = a sultana honey

Alex = muuuummmmm, what IS it called? (she obviously knew it wasn't a sultana!)

Mum = ALEX! It is a SULTANA honey!

Alex = Muuuuuu....

Mum = BABY..... look at it! it is a sultana (getting irritated now I was). Taste it honey, you will see

(Alex puts it in her mouth and chews)

Alex = Mmmmmmmmm a GRAPE!

And the penny dropped......

leaving me feeling like a total dipstick! I burst into fits of uncontrollable laughter.

Rick just sits there shaking his head.

Bella = (giggling) 'mum, you are crazy!'.

Sad thing is I was sooo adamant it was a sultana! Brain just doesn't seem to synapse lately!

Third Trimester!

Gosh, when did that happen??!! This pregnancy is really flying by and I can't believe I am almost 29 weeks!

Things are going great! I really have to try and remember to stop and enjoy this pregnancy though.

I had an appointment with the hospital today and so far so good. I am measuring a week ahead, my BP is perfect, bubs' heart rate is 150bpm and all my tests (urine and GCT) were all normal. Which is a good thing as I really don't have the time for anything to go wrong. . . hheheheee.

We are all getting very excited as we enter that final 10 week stretch. The girls are so thrilled and everyday Isabella is asking me how big the baby is now. She wants a baby brother and Alex changes her mind daily. Alex is also convinced that she too has a baby in her belly and it even kicks when you feel it :) It is so cute - as Isabella was the same when I was pregnant with Alex.

I haven't really weighed myself but I have a feeling that all that good work I did last year to lose 22kg has come back and bit me in the bum.... well at least returned to my bum!! I can't help myself and really give in to the cravings. Thankfully, I have gone off chocolate and am now into salads! (For now! Tomorrow is a new day!)

here are some 27 week belly pics. 'Scuse the expression on my face.... it was the end of the day and I am completely drained! But don't you love my purple uggies??!!

" But I look pretty...! "

Alexandra is always one to make us laugh!
And tonight was no exception.

She came into the loungeroom tonight and showed off her new makeup to Rick and I. We couldn't quite work out what it was and it wasn't budging.

So we asked her to show us...... she took us to the desk drawer and pulled out LIQUID PAPER! I can't get it off! But she won't let me anyway as she thinks she looks so pretty!

Everytime we went to chastise her for using liquid paper she just looked at us with big eyes and interrupted us with 'but I look pretty!' Ohhhh she is a hoot!

*bugger that my camera was on the wrong setting so they are a bit blurry :(

And here is a drawing of a duck she did the other day for her friend Declan. Isn't she clever?
