Knitting? Not mine - that is for sure.

I went to the doctors on Monday about my low milk supply and now I am on Maxalon to see if that makes a difference. I think it is already, although not to any great extent. The only change I have noticed is that if I miss 1 feed my breasts start leaking which is a new thing. It hasn't seemed to have made any difference to Alex's desire for the bottle though - he still has sometimes up to 130 mls as a "top up" after a breast feed. But it is early days.

My knitting bag moved from the bedroom where I was last knitting whilst in labour, to the loungeroom. I even managed to work out where I was up to in the pattern, but as yet not a stitch has been knitted.

However, others have been very busy. I have, I think, finished updating the pictures of pressies people have given Alex to the flickr picture slideshow (see right hand side under "gifts for wriggles".) Check out the lovely knitted items I have been given. Mum in law has knitted the most beautiful shawl - it is so lovely - and a blue pram blanket which is just perfect and so soft. Please take a moment to check them out. (added here for ease)



My Nana is pretty cool huh!

A day off is a day off.

hey guys - Happy Public Holiday Monday - yay.

It is Queens birthday holiday here and I have the day off. It is also the only day Hubbs is also home because the shop is shut on public holidays which means today was the only day we could really get stuck into the room for wriggles. Does that mean we even opened the door to that room - NO. Don't get me started too much on that one! Hubbs instead spent the entire day cleaning up the garage to make space so that he can then start on the room and move crap out to the garage. Of course, now he has "stopped" for the day, and has gone to the shop to feed the fishies, and nothing more has been done on the room. It frustrates me so much that i cannot get that room set up, and I worry that it won't be done by the time bubs is born. Cause you know - that ain't too far away. I think he thinks that it is just a matter of cleaning out the room and chucking some furniture in there, but it is way more. No matter how many times I tell him that I need to go through everything we have to work out what I have and what I don't have, and wash everything etc. Grrrrr (ok - stopping the soapbox cause it just frustrates me more).

Today Mum in law came over with a car load of baby things - OMG she bought so many lovely things. I have decided to put pictures of them all in a flickr album so you can see what wriggles has gotten, and so I am not clogging up my posts with individual pics of everything. Soooo - if you go right down near the bottom of my right hand side panel you will see two sets of flickr pictures - The first one is my knitting, and the second is all of wriggles gifts. If you have a moment please click on wriggles gifts and check out all the cool stuff wriggles has already. (spoilt already!).

Wriggles has been good - kicking up a storm but leaving my bladder alone. We had a funny night the other night. Hubbs laid his ear to my belly and was listening to wriggles' heartbeat and he got kicked in the head twice. lol Poor daddy!

I am trying to rest heaps and succeeding a little hehe. I cleaned the kitchen today and cooked a nice roast dinner. If felt great to cook again. It has been so long.

I bought a maternity top on the weekend. I was trying to find something to wear to my niece's engagement party next Saturday - She said Semi Formal and I have nothing that really fits me that will do the job. So I went looking at expensive maternity shops and everything looked horrid on me. I didn't look pregnant in any of them - just fat. I ended up getting something I adore in Target - on special! I think I am going to feel really nice in it. Pictures after next weekend.

Tomorrow I have the day off - I see the OB in the morning and then I have the rest of the day to myself. Yay.

The puppies are growing - They are back to being fed by their mum, who is doing really well. They almost have their eyes open! Check out how cute they are:




ok better go. Take care all.
