thirty four

ahhh thirty four, you just snuck up on me there! I still feel like I’m 30! But today is my birthday and I’m having a lovely day with my twinnies! We had my favourite muffin down at the mall, did a bit of housewifey shopping when I saw that slowcookers were 50% off at Target (so housewifey I know, but I’m looking forward to some delicious meals without needing to watch the stove!), have a meeting with a magazine about crafty things, my favourite chinese tonight and a cake courtesy of betty crocker!

some nice mail arrived from Bianca just in time for Mathilda’s this Sunday, love the little red riding hood wrap! Thanks bianca, she’s been sewing up a storm just for canberra ladies to get some of her cute wraps

katia popped over last night with some things for market too, I love this skirt so much, she’s so clever and loves everything french!

I also got some lovely baby wool from katia too! Funny story, I said yes pop over 7.30 wednesday, no problem! Only for katia and her husband to arrive on my doorstep to find me in my pj’s on the couch! I was soooo embarrassed, they kept telling me it was fine but I prefer to greet visitors in clothes not pj’s but I just totally forgot!

wool from katia

why was I in my pj’s at 7.30? Well you see I got the best birthday present a mummy could ever ask for, I saw a little hearbeat on a screen on tuesday and am…um… a little nauseous and exhausted each night. I have to sit tight for another month till I see my lovely OB but am very excited that our little family is growing again!

    Slow cookers are wonderful. Make great soups and things like curries are really great done in them.

I’m very persistent so hopefully I win this battle – in the meantime he is being a ‘sperm scab’! :) Hope that you had a great birthday & that you’re not feeling too sick. xx
