spent a LONG day out yesterday – almost didn’t make it through, but i did and i’m stoked. seems like the morning sickness is being kind to me (i’m reluctant to say it’s gone because i don’t want to jinx it).
saturday started out with a 6am wake up call so i could meet my parents out in the Hills area for a good old fashioned househunting. (Regan was working, so i went on my own with them). we ended up seeing about 6 houses and townhouses, but it took up most of the day when we finished at 5pm after viewing what seems to be ‘the one’. funny how that works, spend the whole day schlepping your pregnant ass around the town and it’s the last one you find, which also happens to be one that you stumbled across by accident! nothing’s promised yet though – we still have to sell our apartment and hopefully we can do that quickly and without hassles. cross your fingers for us, i also gotta do that on my own as Regan’s leaving for the States soon 🙁 (he’s coming back, don’t you worry haha)
anyway, when i got back at 7pm Regan was home and we headed out to see Wilco at the Enmore. they’re amazing live – it was so good to see them finally and i know Regan had a great time. 🙂 we ended up leaving during the second encore so we could catch a cab and head back to the city without too much waiting. by the end of it, i was almost in a coma so i was thankful we did that. god, i’m sad. 😛
so sunday is my day of rest. we have an early appointment tommorrow with the obstetrician and/or midwife (not sure yet) which is cool! but if i don’t sit down, the universe will implode.
UPDATE – 10 mins later
oh god i’m headed out again. my parents found an even better place so i agreed to drive back out to check it out. pray for my feet. i’m so glad i slept in this morning. i video called them so i had a look through it briefly – and it does look like a great place, so i’m excited to see it. my parents have done all the hard work, i shouldn’t complain!
UPDATE – 3PM
just signed some papers. we bought a new 4 bedroom house!! too bad Regan hasn’t seen it yet 😛
the long weekend did more harm than good. spent most of it wide awake in pain, with ligaments and stomach muscles stretching and making me reconsider any kind of birth plan. (3am on sunday morning i decided i’m gonna give birth by the same laser beam they use on UFO’s to beam you up and down. by 6am i decided that was silly and that the baby would teleport out on it’s own, cause it must have some sort of magical power due the to hours of faith tv we watched that night). i woke up even more zombie-like this morning due to some all night sleep talking and sleep gymnastics. i can always tell that i’ve been busy in my sleep if i wake up and go to brush my teeth with a hairbrush and my moisturiser.
i did go in for my blood test this morning ahead of my first scan next week 🙂 very very excited to finally see the baby and check on things. i feel like i haven’t done anything in the past 3 months, so this is a first.
mum and dad get back from malaysia this weekend, my grandfather had surgery this past week and looks to be on the mend. Regan will be leaving to go to the States in a couple of weeks, so i’m not really looking forward to that. he won’t miss my birthday though, so we’ll try to do something cool for it.
a big HELLO to the new friends that have popped in and emailed me recently. it’s always nice to hear from you 🙂 i have to mention that i don’t have comments turned on, for any of my blogs, because i was getting too much spam and it was taking up too much resources on the server. y’all know where i am anyway (hopefully) so you can msg me, flickrmail me, sms me whenever you like.
i’m off to eat my third breakfast of the morning (or an early lunch) and then i’m sending Regan out to get me 10kgs of Jelly Belly A&W Root Beer jelly beans. got a craving. 😀
just a quick update to say hi and, again, thank you to everyone who has contacted me over the past week. it surprised me to hear so many stories, i guess you never know what goes on in a persons life, sometimes? apologies to those i haven’t gotten back to…
as you may have guessed i’ve been missing in action. morning sickness has taken over my life, so i’m not as chipper as I once was. don’t get me wrong, i’m still incredibly excited, but just excited as you can get while trying to fight zombification. i know in the end it’s all worth it, so i’m trying not to complain. i’m also trying to not to post so much, as my hormones are taking over my brain and everything i write makes me want to cry. (boo hoo 😛 )
so until next time, i leave you with the latest thing that’s made me burst into tears…
enjoy.
