'school'

Seb had his first day of childcare this week and loved it.
I had been talking about putting him all year but I clearly just wasn't ready. When I finally went in to the centre it all happened so fast, it was Friday and he started Tuesday. I started to get a little anxious. He obviously wasn't going to hate it, the three times we were in there he didn't want to leave.

Monday night we packed we packed his bag together and explained he got to go to school the next day, he seemed to understand and kept talking about painting at school and playing with the planes.

So we took him in Tuesday morning and I was so nervous at how he would react when J and I had to leave, I don't know why because this kid didn't want to go anywhere with us. I told him we were leaving and he was all like "nooo" and started high tailing it away from me onto the play equipment. Then I had to explain that he was staying and Daddy and I were leaving, then he was all like "okay bye mum" gave me a kiss, high fived James and was on his merry way. Thanks for loving me kid.

Picking him up was awesome, we were spying on him through the door and he was sitting eating his afternoon tea talking to a little boy beside him. So freaking adorable I almost died. Then when he spotted us we got the hugest grin and wave, he then told us to come in and showed us his empty plate. I may have teared up. This kid grew up SO fast. He did super well all day but apparently the first day is the easiest, the second and third can be a disaster but I am just so proud of him.

hi there!

I feel like I haven't posted about general life stuff lately and I certainly haven't been using my camera for some strange reason, my heads all in a bit of a jumble these days, baby brain I tells you. I actually told a lady at the supermarket that Seb was 3, um wtf, just for the record he is actually 2.

My baby starts his first day of child care tomorrow, I'm pretty emotional about it. I know that he'll be fine and it will be so much fun for him but he's still my baby and its hard to let go. the two times I've taken him to check the place out, he's loved it, he hadn't wanted to leave so lets hope this will be easy. I doubt it but lets hope.

After Seb's few weeks of terrible twos we seem to have come full circle and are back on track. He's changed so much in the last few weeks that I think he was just having a development leap and was frustrated. He knew what he wanted but he just couldn't quite get it out. He now knows all his colours and can count to ten, I think he's pretty awesome. Sleep has somewhat improved but he has his moments, there's no point in blogging about it any more because he can be different every night.

So these next 6 weeks are for packing and getting Seb settled in 'school' then we'll be moving and setting up the new space and twiddling our thumbs until baby girl shows up! When I say twiddling my thumbs I really mean being really busy with appointments and play dates and school and life. I cant believe in under 100 days I wont be pregnant anymore or ever again!

 

 

my husbands such a super photographer, that's why these are the worst photos ever, but I think they're pretty funny.

 



25 weeks {a survey}

In my last post like this, I said I'd try and do these every other week, I was 19 weeks hahahaha. i suck.

How far along are you? 26

How big is the baby?: around 35 cms about the size of a zucchini

Maternity cloths: Yes! Maternity stockings and tights, I have a few jumpers I'm yet to wear but most of my clothes are beyond the point of fitting

Stretch marks?: No

Sleep: that's all I do, I swear I did not get that boost of energy in the second trimester that you're meant too

Best moment this week: booking our 3D scan and Seb saying one of baby girls singlets belonged to his sister! 

Movement: so much, this girl is a party animal apparently 

Food cravings: no cravings, my appetite is starting to slow down and I don't want to eat everything in site

Food aversions: Nothing really

Labor signs: No way

What I miss: Not feeling so tired, just miss feeling like myself, dressing normal

What I am looking forward to: our 3D scan on Friday and moving into our new home so I can get nesting! 

We're moving!

I'm so thrilled! This place was one of those 'meant to be houses.' Every time we've moved they've felt 'meant to be' and this is no exception. It's perfect for us at this time in our life.

We've always lived in units, we're in a duplex now which is bigger but with this new baby coming along sooner rather than later, we're moving into our first 'family' home. It might sound weird but its such a family home it couldn't get more famlier. 4 bedrooms! Ensuit! A normal yard! huge kitchen! Just everything about it is perfect. It's in a pretty new estate with walkways and parks and oh gosh just so perfect. Do you want me to say perfect again?

So we have six weeks to pack up this place which is a super long time but with these energy levels of mine, I'm kind of happy about it. I just can't wait to get in and set up baby girls room and get Seb settled because roughly 7 weeks after we move this little girl will be coming along to change our lives again!
