sunshine, camera, teacake and grandparents..... <3

Had an incredibly lovely day today, made especially amazing by the sunshine! there is nothing like sunshine to make you feel amazing and inspired! After having a nice relaxing morning with my mum D popping around and enjoying a nice hot drink on my couch, I decided to get out my camera and do a bit of a baby shoot.... was a bit difficult because I don't own a tripod, BUT i made do with a big box and some things on top of the box, hehe, don't worry though I made sure it wasn't going to fall over (just in case Sam reads this....)

Photos were taken in our garden full of beautiful spring flowers!

After our little photo shoot, we went for a visit to cousin Courtney's house who has two beautiful children and another one on the way, we are only a week apart! So it's always lovely to go and share stories together! She fed me a delicious salad & some freshly cooked tea cake, yum! thanks Courtie!!! After we finished chit chatting, it was time to go and visit my gran and gramps! We sat for about 3 hours and talked... I always love hearing their stories from life, and seeing pictures of when they were young! Not to mention I came away with a bag of delicious chop chip biscuits to share with Sam! Love my grandparents!!!!

update time! 32 weeks

OK, so I do think it is time for an update! I have been a bit slack, and very busy!!

Only 1 day until I am 32 weeks along, which means we only have approx 8 weeks to go! We are so excited to meet Bubba D... really hoping the next 8 weeks goes nice and fast :D They say generally babies are most active during the night in the last few weeks, but I am thankful that little Bubba D is allowing me to get a decent amount of sleep during the night still! It seems he likes to get most active between 6-8 in the morning....that’s ok with me J It’s getting to the stage now where I have body parts poking out of my tummy – I love feeling Bubba D’s little back or little bottom sticking out hehe.

We have been having lots of visits with my midwives – Becky and Amanda.  We are so excited about the birth because my midwives are also my friends from church!!! They have been so fantastic through the pregnancy.... It’s been such a beautiful experience having people that genuinely love and care for us! It’s been such an amazing thing being able to sit and pray together, especially leading up to the birth! We are hoping – God willing – to have our birth at the birthing centre, which means we will be having a natural birth! It’s also good knowing the hospital is literally across the road if we need to go over at any point 

Becky had a feel around the other day to see where baby is sitting. Bubba has his head down now, just getting ready needless to say we are SO excited!

Currently me and my sister in law – Liz are preparing for a baby shower for bubba D! Looks like it’s going to be held out at Mum de Ruiter’s, which is always such a beautiful place to have parties, especially in the sun! Can’t wait to celebrate with everyone!

Yesterday Lianne was up and she helped me really fix up the baby’s room and carried all the heavy things for me (thank you!!!) and it looks fantastic! I sorted all the baby clothes I already have into sizes! I have ALOT of size 0000 because people have already been so lovely and gifted us with lots of things to borrow or keep! So I don’t think I will have to buy much more in that department!

Anyhow, short update but an update at least will try to keep it a bit more up to date now!! Especially because there is only a short time to go until bubba!!

Oh and check out the beautiful flowers I picked from our garden yesterday I love spring!!!!
