So Mum and Dad went to Brisbane to surprise Hannah and Dave and I went to their place :) Man, it was great having windows and doors and air circulating through lol! we love daydreaming about one day when we have a house... ha ha :)
Dave had a very busy weekend painting and doing some jobs that Dad needed done, and I ummmm, didn't do much at all. The weather was beautiful!! Perfect beach weather! I didn't go to the beach, just enjoyed laxing out at Mum and Dad's with no cellphone reception. It was surprisingly peaceful :)
So we're back home now, preparing to go back to work. Dave is in charge of one of the boats for a week or so while the head engineer is on leave so he's got a lot to do, but is really enjoying the extra responsibility :) Its about time I started thinking about work too, I really need to set up my classroom and I still haven't figured out when school actually starts! Lol. Pony club starts again tomorrow so I'm looking forward to that.
We're past halfway now!! 20 weeks and 4 days. We have our scan coming up on Thursday and are still to decide whether we'll find out or not. I kind of hope the baby is uncooperative and then I won't have to choose ;) Although if we did find out we could buy lots of styly baby things! I've got lots that I should be doing right now, so should really go and get organised. Be back in a few days... :)

The domestic Goddess strikes again!
Yep, that's me at the moment. Possibly has something to do with the fact that I'm still on holiday and Dave is back at work. I've been on a mad cleaning spree (we now have a 'room' in the barn for baby stuff now) and have even been slightly adventurous with cooking (don't tell Dave I haven't been following recipes though, shhhhh).
We've done a little bit of shopping for baby stuff and its starting to become very real and exciting. I've been looking for bargains on trademe and scored a pushchair that converts to a pram with a reversible handle. That was a great buy and Dave had a play with it when I brought it inside. Ha ha, it was so cute watching him play with all the bits and pieces! We also have a little bouncer (yes, another trademe bargain - brand new with all its tags and still in the box! Gotta love other people's unwanted gifts!).
I've been shopping with Mum and we got a few basics, some vests and stretch n grows and stuff. When I say 'we', it was Mum who did the spending. I've also been given the outfit I wore home from the hospital. Its sooooo tiny! Mum has washed and given me a few other things that Nana Siebert knitted for us too.
Our best thing so far is a present from Mum and Dad. We are going to have the styliest nappy bag around! I'll have to upload pics to the laptop and show you. It is sooooo cute!!!
This is what we will take everywhere we go!!! There's even a smaller waterproof bag for wet nappies...
We also got a portacot for Christmas for the baby from Glenda and Keith. That is going to come in very handy!! Ha ha, its funny to think that its not even here yet and its already getting presents!! Just think what this Christmas is going to be like!!
We are having cloth nappies (yes, I'm well aware a few people think that's crazy) and I've bought 36 from an online shop (I figure that's a good number to start with). I've already washed them a couple of times already. Apparently that increases the absorbency and they're all nice and fluffy now and packed back into their box.
We're really starting to get a little collection of things, which is why we needed somewhere to put it all :)
I've got my third midwife appointment on Sunday and the 20 week scan next week :) OMG - we're almost halfway already!
While we're on the subject of babies - my horse is now in foal and she's due in November. I can't wait! Although naming the foal is going to be a mission! Its hard enough finding names we both agree on for the human baby lol. Just as well we've got a while left before we need to make a decision!
We're heading back to Sydney for the first weekend in April for Sheree's wedding. I'm doing lots of extra work this holidays so that we can buy our tickets. I've got quite a bit of instructing lined up till school goes back and that should cover our fares :)
We had a great Christmas and New Year! Hope you all did too :)
