Happy December!

I cannot believe it is already December! This year has gone way to fast, it seems like yesterday i was pregnant with Sebb and moving house, and complaining my feet were swollen. Now I'm planning a wedding and having to watch every move Seabass makes (he's into everything).

I'm thinking December is going to be an awesome month today has been a very happy day. Sebb had a long nap this morning and i watched crazy stupid love, holey hell it was a great movie, i was LOL-ing all on my lonesome and it felt great! not to mention Ryan Gossling is a mega babe. I ate a delicious mango to celebrate the first day of summer and when James gets home from work we're putting up our Christmas tree and eating a roast dinner! Life is sweet.

there has been one downfall of today though, lately Sebb has been terrified of the vacuum cleaner. I literally only have to get it out of the cupboard for him to loose his shit. So I've been carrying him around the house one handed while trying to do a descent job with the vacuum, guess its not all bad though..can anyone say toned arms?

Happy December peeps!

A little insight

I found this post this morning on this blog, which I have fallen in love with! And as I'm waiting for the baby to open his little eyes, I thought I'd do it too.

Obsessing over: way too much, wedding plans, clothes, CHRISTMAS, money..money is a big one this time of year even without the wedding planning.

Working on: my new years resolution list, i know they seem silly like why not start your resolution right now? i think new year, fresh start, its all in my mind, I'm crazy and i know it. Prepping my house for Christmas. this is the first year I'm actually excited for Christmas since i was a child. maybe its because I have a child? I'm sure that's it. Oh and wedding plans :)

Thinking about: how to go about approaching an uncomfortable situation with a friend without burning bridges. honesty is the best policy right?

Anticipating: So so much, these next 3-4 months are going to be huge! Christmas, NYE, Hens night, Australia day, Wedding (eek), Soundwave and Sebbs 1st birthday.

Listening to: the fan and my fingers click click clicking away

Drinking: nothing right at this moment, coffee is calling my name though.

Wishing: that we won the lotto last night or that someone would buy me a new car ;)

well there you have it a little insight into the world of Ivy

FTW (sort of)

THE BABY IS CRAWLING! Well maybe we shouldn't use the word crawling, maybe dragging would be more appropriate, but its still progress right?

He looks like a wounded soldier most of the time, he's only using one leg to push himself along, it quite hilarious to watch actually.

I think I could be in trouble now.

Lately Ive been thinking a lot about Sebb (not that he isn't on my mind 24/7) its just blowing my mind that he's almost 9 months old, that he has a personality and knows what he wants and likes, that he's figuring out how to be mobile and scream and smash all his toys together to get a big bang. I love him an incredible amount (duh) but I'm a little bit sad that he's not completely dependant on me anymore, He's holding his own bottle and wiggling around, he doesn't need his mama as much.
Geez what am i going to be like in another couple of months! we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Any who I think he's the cutest fattest ginger ninja in the world and i can say that cos i had a giant part in creating him but seriously people what is with all the negativity on the red hair?!? i will admit i was a bit shocked with it in the first place as neither James nor I have any tinge of red in our hair, but its grown on me and i love it! I was at the store the other day and a lady asked if he was my son and if his dad had red hair, when i said J didn't she replied with a big 'oh nooo!' like seriously is it a plague? a curse? a disease? People pay money to have hair that colour these days like geez give the poor kid a break! rant over.

i had so much more to say today but my mind has gone to another world so i could be back later for another post, i need to get out of my lazy blogging phase.

Happy Tuesday!

Humble abode

J comes home tomorrow!! Squeeelllllll!!!
It actually hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be without him. Pebb was a dream boat! Sleeping through the night and all.
I've been keeping busy, my mum spent the weekend with us which was really nice, we took sebb for a swim Saturday and went to the awesome Perigian markets Sunday where I scored this baby



The best $25 Ive ever spent, I know James will love it and it just seems like it was always meant to be in our home.
We've been spending a lot of time in Sebb's room of late, partly because I'm over picking his toys up around the rest of the house and partly because it's just so dang awesome in here! I took some quick pics to show because I really do love it and I'm proud of it, corny I know.











Here are some snaps of my little guy from today. I feel as if this last week spent with Sebb has made us stronger, I've become more patient and he's just a really cool kid, spazz attacks or not.









Happy Tuesday, and an even happier Wednesday! (cos papa comes home!)

sad face

Tomorrow I will be dropping J at the airport (insert MEGA sad face here).

He's going to Papua New Guinea for 1 whole week!

This probably doesnt seem like much to some of you out there, but i've never been away from him for more then two nights, especially while the baby has been around.

I know i'm not going to die or anything drastic like that but im scared outta my wits to have the baby for a week on my own. I live for the moment James walks through the door of an evening, the way Sebb's face lights up when he sees him, i will miss this more then i can put into words.

Oh and did I mention the contact will be slim to none!

Yeah im a big baby what of it?

Death by cupcakes

As it was my birthday last week, we celebrated on the weekend with a par-tay (photos coming soon) and what's a birthday party without cupcakes (can I get an amen!).
Although I cannot eat wheat, a friend who supplied the cupcakes made sure to get some gluten free ones also.
The morning after the bash, I found 6 nicely packaged cupcakes in my fridge...'dare I eat them?' I asked myself...I decided to be safe and ask the friend who bought them. She was 90% sure those were the cupcakes left for me.
So with no other option really but to eat and see if I die (tad dramatic) I gobbled them up! Not really, I only ate one...a day, now there is one left.
I felt fine after eating them, maybe it was a sugar high, maybe it was all the bright colored deliciousness clouding my judgement, either way it is now nearing midnight and i have a tummy pain from hell for the second night in a row.
Dare I think ill of those magical cupcakes that brought me so much joy in these last days?!
I'm going to make the grown up decision and send that last cupcake on a trip to the construction site with James tomorrow.
Bye bye sweet cupcake!

8 months

Happy 8 month birthday baby bean!




I would like time to slow down please! It's going too fast, I remember the day Sebb was born like it was yesterday, I can't believe it was a whole 8 months ago!
Pebb, you've changed so much, your almost 10 kg! You love your food and are becoming quite the little munchikin. The way your silly smile warms my heart is beyond beautiful. Never stop being so darn cute. I love you more everyday.

Twenty one

Today was my twenty first birthday... I'm getting old *gasp* ha nah I'm totally still a spring chicken, an engaged mother spring chicken to be exact.
My day was perfect, baby S woke up bright and early, I got a coffee in bed then it was time to open my present that had been staring down at me in its cardboard box from the top of my pantry for the last fortnight. Eeeee!!!
I got the prettiest jewelry box, the photos dont do it justice but ima put them up anyway.
 






And Pebble had lots of fun playing with the packaging





We went off to breakfast and played in the park because the day was beyond perfect









We spent the rest of the day lounging around the house, wedding planning, tidying and talking while Peb napped.
We then went out to dinner with 3 of my best friends! It was the best way to end the day, I got insanely spoilt by them also. I got so much home decor that I think I need to move home to fit it all, but when I place it I'll be sure to snap some photos! I received a massage and swimmers I'd been dying to buy from the moment I spied them!
I also got this from my mummy!


I found it in a super expensive store a couple if months ago and fell in love but couldn't justify spending soo much money on a bed spread but my mamma came through with the goods! You know your getting old when you get excited about decorating your house. I couldn't be happier with my life right now and am super excited for my pool party on Saturday. I'll be sure to post pictures of that too. PRAY FOR SUN!
Here are some happy snaps from the end of the evening. Hope you all had a wonderful day!








^^^ my poor baby boy so sleepy he didn't even wake up while we changed him for bed!
