Hospital Appointments

Today was my 32 week appointment at the hospital and everything was perfect. My blood pressure is low, my urine is normal and most importantly Pumpkin is growing beautifully. I will have to have weekly blood pressure appointments with the Midwives and go back in week 36 but I am thrilled that everything is going so well. The best part was that we got a really detailed look at Pumpkin courtsey of a lovely ultrasound technician. We got to see Pumpkin's hands and feet, his/ hers slightly grumpy face (James is convinced that we will have a grumpy baby) and best of all a few hairs on the baby's head. What a miracle it all is.

Baby Items

It really is amazing how much stuff one little person needs. Our beautiful gliding chair arrived today and I also received an email telling us that out Mothercare order has dispatched, at least I hope that is what it say as one item is mentioned separately to the rest. If they deliver one item at a time I think that Pumpkin will be here before our order is complete. We just need to find somewhere to store the items until the room is ready. My sister also created this incredible height chart to go in the room. Pumpkin is lucky to have such a talented aunt. The picture is in black and white because it was hot and I really don't look my best - black and white minimises the horror slightly!

Busy Week

For us this has been a very busy week. We had a lovely visit from friends, went to see family and the bathroom project is finally near completion. All we have to do is have the shower reattached to the wall (3 weeks of baths at 32 weeks pregnant has not been a lot of fun) and choose new flooring. Today we need to order all the items for the baby's room which we need to start redecorating in the next week or so. However, I have been able to complete some pages.

What I want you to know

Finally finished my mini-book and been able to get some half decent photos. Saw this idea in Simple Scrapbooks a few months back and with Pumpkin's birth only 9 weeks away I thought I would have a go at making my own. The Baby has no decorated room, no cot, no pram, and very few clothes but it is now the proud owner of it's first mini-book!

Busy Week

This week has been really busy. James has been writing his E3 "stuff" so I have barely been able to see the computer, hence the lack of blogging. I spent the week making cards and scrapbook pages with the kids on Activities Week which was great fun. I also managed to make these two cards myself which I am really pleased with. Very excited as I am off to collect my new apple ipod shuffle in a few hours. I am finally joining the modern human race!

Sunny Sunday!

Lovely day today. Lunch with an old friend from work. Spent today crafting mainly finishing my mini-book (which needs better pictures) and creating this layout of James. Activities Week this week. Can't wait!

Competitions

Today I actually entered a competition. You had to post a layout using the Sarahs Cards July kit to win a voucher. I never win anything but I thought that I would give it a go and I really liked this layout I made, even if it is a total scraplift of a Cathy Z layout. Oh to have original ideas like this!
