And...
A 28 week belly shot. Very belated, since I'm now 36 weeks... Will take another in the next few days...
Help me...
I'm planning to burn some CDs for while I'm in labour. It's something I meant to do last time, and never got around to it. Anyways, I'm after your ideas for great songs to labour to! Just to make it hard, I pretty much don't like most mainstream music - I'm a bit of an indie, alternative girl. For example:
- 'Across the Universe' - Rufus Wainwright (Beatles cover)
- 'Yellow Ledbetter' - Pearl Jam
- 'Space They Cannot Touch' - Kate Miller-Heidke
- 'Blowers Daughter' - Damien Rice
- 'Gorecki' - Lamb

My little cutie and the roast
My little boy is getting so big! Look!
And here's some pics of his first easter egg trail (a tradition in our family - a trail of little eggs leading to the big eggs.) Unfortunately, Easter bunny forgot to set the trail up before Diesel got up (secondary to a maggot infestation - ewwwwwwwwwww), so we had to re-enact the whole getting out of bed deal. He didn't seem to mind. I almost forgot to take photos, which is why they are so bad - I didn't reset my ISO or white balance and it's all up the crap!
I cooked a roast tonight. Every time I cook a roast I think of the first roast I ever cooked. It must have been early on after we were married, and living in our cute little unit. I bought a beef roast and all the trimmings, and ended up in tears in the middle of the kitchen. The meat was under-cooked, the potatoes were soggy, the gravy was lumpy and the vegies were cold. Rog managed to compliment it, bless him.
These days, I'm a bit of a pro at the old roast, if I do say so myself. Lamb is my specialty, but I've cooked a couple of great chickens lately too. After years of practice, I can cook the meat just right, get the potatoes and pumpkin lovely and golden and crispy, make killer gravy and have everything ready at the same time and on the table by 6pm. Oh the triumphs of a domestic goddess.
I haven't cooked a beef roast since though. Just a little story for a Thursday... just because.

Hello? Hello?
Is anyone still there???
Oh my... haven't I been one VERY slack blogger? In fact, I was considering letting this go altogether, but lately have been feeling life slipping by very quickly, and would love to make an effort to record more of our 'every day'. We'll see how that goes... LOL.
Haven't got a whole lot of time right now as D is running around and doesn't like letting me sit here! I'll have to update with belly shots and scrapping and stuff another time... But briefly:

Haven't got a whole lot of time right now as D is running around and doesn't like letting me sit here! I'll have to update with belly shots and scrapping and stuff another time... But briefly:
- Only five weeks to go of this pregnancy (if I go to term!) I can't believe how fast it has gone, and I'm begging these five weeks to go slow cos we have way too much to do!
- I'm feeling great! This pregnancy has been a little easier than the last, and although I'm sore and sleepless, I think I'm doing better. And I've put on WAY less weight this time! Hallelujah for that!
- I'm drinking way too much coffee!
- Rog's best mate got married a few weeks ago and I spend my first ever night away from Diesel. We both coped brilliantly.
- My big scrapping fest ended - been feeling much less motivated as I get bigger, but still managing the occasional page. Had Crop for Kids a couple of weeks ago and managed to get three pages done... plus caught up with some fab scrapping friends.
- In the middle of a BIG clear out as we make way for this baby - our study/spare/junk room will become Diesel's room and it is a HUGE job. I spent Easter weekend going through 10 years worth of Roger's paperwork. It's all ready to be chucked into archive boxes now. Phew. Next is my 10 years worth of formal dresses, then the craft desk (eek!)
- Still doing DT stuff for Kiti Q - and you MUST check out the adorable new KI Memories lace cardstock they have in. So beautiful...
- Diesel is talking! Seems like he picks up a new word every day at the moment. Still just single words, but I can see it's about to explode and he'll never stop chatting! I just melt every time he says 'mumma'. He says 'baby' and rubs my tummy too, but I fear that he has no idea that there is an actual baby in there that is going to turn his world upside-down!
- Looking forward to a visit from my precious Nat! She is passing through Melbourne just after my due date, so I am really praying that bubs makes an on-time and hassle-free appearance so I can catch up with her. The last time we met we were both pregnant with our little boys, and this time we will have five kids between us! Amazing what a difference a couple of years can make!
