my latest scrap LO

I finally got around to doing some more scrapping! I have seriously done NOTHING in over 12 months and I have missed it!! I am determined to do some regular scrapping from now on and catch up on some of my older photos - it will also help to take my mind off my pregnancy and stop me from feeling sorry for myself!

This layout was done using some old photos of Cody, he was about one at the time. I love how cheeky and cute he looks in them - they are so true of Cody! He is my free spirited child and at times is hard to manage but I love his cheeky personality and the way he cannot be suppressed in his enthusiasm for life - I hope he always keeps that spunk!

how much longer??

I am really starting to suffer with this pregnancy now. I am trying to keep a positive mindset but these last two days have been difficult! By the evening my belly is so sore and tight and I literally feel like I am about to split open. I am pretty sure that my abdominal muscles are seperating because the pain that I feel around my belly button can best be described as a tender sore spot that feels like it is tearing or pulling beneath the skin but it hurts from the outside - it's really weird!! I know it will all be worth it when I finally have these babies in my arms but for now I need to try and focus on the positives and cook these bubbas for another 10 weeks! I'll have to do another belly shot very soon too. I am 28 weeks tomorrow and Dan thinks that my belly is now larger than it was with Lachlan (my largest belly so far!!) Aaaah the joys!!

The nursery nears completion

Here are the latest photos taken of the babies room. We have almost finished decorating it - the only things left are a valance and side curtains for the window (If we can find the right material!!) We have ordered the pram, an Adventure Buggy "Everest twin" with a double toddler seat on top (should be leaving the factory in New Zealand on Monday) so we are looking forward to seeing that! I have washed all the cloth newborn nappies (photos to come! promise!!) and still have to wash all the baby clothes but otherwise I feel like I am slowly getting organised. It's an exciting time but I try not to let myself get too caught up in the whole "how will I manage" thoughts... I am going to have to try and take it one day at a time I think, :)

Plodding along

Well, here I am at 27 weeks pregnant with Twins - feeling absolutely huge and knowing that I have sooooo far to go! It feels like I can't focus on anything at the moment as my brain flits from one thing to another - doctors appointments, babies, nurseries, cloth nappies, what I still have to buy, things I need to do around the house.... the list goes on! We will get there in the end I am sure but right now everything is a bit of a shambles!

Here is the last belly shot I had taken at 25 weeks and one day - I really need to do another one becasuse I think I have grown even more since then!
