24 weeks

Since time seems to be FLYING by (24 weeks + 3) -- P.S: If I put pressure on my belly button it pops out, gross!

We thought we should go look at this COT I have been coveting. A little on the pricier side but I LOVE the organic shape - Im not into the BIG corners on the other cots --they look like small cars. mmmm anyway this is the Leander bed and it GROWS! This is the colour we are looking to get it in as well. Tell me what you think.

And this is the last Ultrasound we got at 23 weeks.

So the Ultra sound woman is like cruising around and all of a sudden there is an awkward pause at what is OBVIOUSLY some full frontal action.

(Kyle and I already knew what baby was but it was fun pretending we didn't know and asking again just to make sure.)

Ultrasound lady : ...... (awkward pause) I suspect she was waiting for one of us to say Oh look a little " bla bla " but Kyle and I just stay quiet.

Ultrasound lady: ... (more awkward pause) " ..ah So there is his little boy bits "

hahaha NOT even a trained professional can say " Scrotum/Penis"

Yay.. pretty cute huh! We saw a little penis. he he His first rudey nudey pic. I kinda wish she had taken a photo of that because it would've been cool to have an in the womb rudey shot.

see his little pout for the camera? Just like his Aunty Collette & Mummy. Bet he is going to have nice lips!

The Proof is in the PUddiNg

SO.. Collette has this running joke that because I just happened to pop out from Mums uterus practically a toddler (at 9 pounds 6 ounces) that I was the only CHUBBy baby. BUT! I say.. the proof is in the Pudding because I'm pretty sure THAT ^ ladies and gentleman is ALSO a CHUBBY baby and THAT ^ is Collette.

NOW I did verify with Mum (the source) and Collette just so happened to pop out at 9 pounds 3 ounces. MUM said quote " Well you were only three ounces more " which I am pretty sure in Mum talk means " in the scheme of things three ounces isn't that different " ha! so SHE popped out just as fat! and that is that :D

More Sewing

a bib and some spit/burp cloths.

Baby Change Mat

So, FINALLY after leaving Tasmania the first time and thinking there would be some good Fabric shops in Geelong and being very .. very wrong.

I went back to Tas for Collette but still managed got some material and returned! My Minkee arrived today in the mail which means I can start on some baby things .. all very exciting.

Here is the first. A baby change mat with pockets to hold the little extras.

The Fabric is from Ikea really cheap and nice and thick ready for lots of wipe downs and washes, only $5 m.-- The back of the mat is Minkee - apparently it washes really well .. all good stuff.

I was hoping to find some nice oil/laminated cotton for the change mat but the range I found was limited and not really suited to babies, would have been good because it would have wiped down easily but the Ikea fabric is GORGEOUS and nice and thick so as good as :)

Tell me what you think, Im off to start some bibs.

P.S : do you like the pockets Simone? ;)

By the way, If you want the pattern you can't have it because I just made it up. So I couldn't actually tell you how those pockets got on there so nicely ...
