IT'S A BOY!!!!
Don't have time to post right now, but just wanted to let you all know that I had a baby boy last Thursday afternoon! All the details and photos will follow shortly!! I know some of you are already members of the 3 boys club, so you can relate to the mayhem around me :)

Thomas and Daniel are very excited to have a baby brother - Samuel - but we just have to keep that excitement in check! They sometimes don't understand how gentle they have to be :)

In honour of my 3rd little man, I'm thinking of revamping the blog and giving it a new name (suggestions are welcome) so I'll be back with a longer post very soon.

VERY PREGNANT...
and waiting patiently...well, not really patiently! Complaining a lot! These hazy images with my eyes half closed were taken a few days ago after a long day out celebrating my niece Sofia's christening. I was absolutely buggered. It was a warm day and I wore heels so my feet were completely swollen and my ankles were nowhere to be found. Very bad photos but I haven't really had the time to take any others this pregnancy :(


P.S. I'm 39 weeks today and see my doctor tomorrow...so hopefully soon we'll be able to announce the arrival of baby Camera.

I'M HERE!!
I'm still here...and very pregnant...just about to pop! Have had a rough few months with general illnesses and a few curve balls but all shaping up ok!

So busy that I haven't even had a chance to take the obligatory "look at me, I'm pregnant" photos...the closest I have is this one from about a month ago on my birthday. Is it out of focus or is it just my eyes? Note my boys are wearing their Parramatta Eels jackets...the Eels have had a great last couple of months and are just 2 games away from making the Grand Final!! Whatever happens, they have been exciting to watch and have made the last 2 months more bearable :)
My sister and the boys made me this cake...I'm 33 I thought with glee...then I realised I had to add two lol
Thomas, my little man, turned 4 years old!!! Feels like just yesterday we were excitedly bringing him home from the hospital! My sister in-law Barbara again came through with the goods and made him his long wished-for Busy Buses cake :) Thomas absolutely loved it!!

And now this is something I meant to do 4 months ago but just never got around to... a pictorial tribute to the house we loved but sold :( We are in the process of designing our new home which will be very different to this one...These photos (amongst many more) were taken on my last visit to the house when it was virtually empty.

It was raining on the weekend we moved and the boys made me cry when they ran through the house saying "bye" to all the rooms! I think Thomas is looking forward to the new house, although he doesn't understand why it is taking so long to build! Daniel, on the other hand, I think will find it very hard to move again! He thinks we are taking my mum with us...he is sooooo attached to her!

Speaking of attached, I don't know if I'll ever have complete separation from the old house because the new owners keep ringing to ask advice....what type of lawn is it? how did we weed it? do we know who could repair a smashed wall? etc etc I feel like we're the landlords! They are lovely people though so it's nice to know they are taking care of the house :)

Smashed walls and the like would have made the house feel a bit better too...goodness knows the boys gave it a good beating :))
