March 2013

One of my favourites months so far this year 

Lets look what happened. Cast your mind back. It was a busy one but a great one.

The month started off with a lovely trip down south to hang out with my buddies, we hadnt had a weekend away since November 2011 which is bonkers but with babies left right and centre they are hard to arrange.

In our little 'gang' no one has ever been pregnant at the same time before so here we were with 3 of us pregnant, i was just 12 weeks that day actually and unbeknown to us there was a 4th secret pregnant person just waiting for the right time lol Im sure you already have read the news but lovely Leanne is also expecting in October, so thats June (Laura had baby Emily), Jen is due mid Aug, Me in Sept and Leanne, how exciting. Shame we dont all live closer but nice to know there will be plenty people ' going through it' at the same time. 

So yes a good few pics of our weekend away, a little catch up with baby V, ad life at 12 weeks. 

Nothing got much more exciting than on the 8th March getting to see our little baby for the first time and knowing for one i wasnt imagining it and two baby was all healthy and happy. 

Much of this month dedicated to what we felt and what we saw and things like that, such as first items bought, how we announced it etc

The next day after the scan I went to tropical world with 2 of my chums and their kiddies, some hospital appointments and 2 years since we got engaged, ah yes and i may have bought some baby yarn

Next brought a change to my hours at work, finishing some knits, looking at prams, getting bigger and some baby room prep

A little trip up home and time to buy more maternity clothes, i started my first baby knit, we went on a night away, there was insane snow, and i looked bumpy. 

Ooh i got my lovely rabbit jumper, we got to hear babys heart beat for the first time at 16 weeks, and went out for a meal as part of our week off with vic, ant and V.

A little Olive love, a trip to Ilkely, some sad news about a good friends reminding me just how bloody lucky we are, a bit more baby knitting and room prep and more pram choices.

We bought a cute bunny for our garden, took cute pics, went to ikea for baby drawers, went to TGI, hung out with babies, bought baby a toy. 

Wow so there you go it was a crazy busy month mainly because we had a week off so lots of time to do things that then need documenting, feels like only yesterday yet a million years ago at the same time. 

Very Good Friday

Days off work are my favourite kinda days (surely they are everyones). 4 days off work fills my heart with joy, i have not much planned other than making this and that.

Tomo i have meeting up with my lovely girlies.

Lovely Fran (2nd left) is in town this weekend, so we (we being me, Heather and Jen) all work buddies, are having a nice fun day together, lets hope it doesnt rain and we can go to the park, feed the ducks and take a million photos!

So i have some photos to share- This time last year we were in the throws of moving house and our lovely city centre pad looked like this

There was a lot of stuff and that was just the flat so you can imagine how bad its going to be when we move later this year, bad and good of course.

Tomo is our 1 yrs anniversary in this house, as much as i like (not love) this house I'm getting very excited about our house, our house! how good does that sound lol.

It reminds me of a conversation Rob and I had the other today hes trying to convince me to get a Ipad (not happening) he said we should go halves on it but i was like but what if we break up who gets it, he then reminded me we are buying a house together and therefore the Ipad wouldnt be too much of issue, he of course assured me we wont split up :)

So we all know its stupidly cold outside this week, but i am trying to make the house all spring like, i have 6 bunches of flowers in my house at the moment 6, most of the daffodils but still.

I also bought this plant which smells so good

the flowers are all floppy, so i guess i need to tie them to sticks?

Also in the joy that is my new red jug is...

Red Tulips and some of last weeks daffs, how cute is my easter card from my granny.

Well thats all for now, i will be back later some some scrappy things, to show you, Im also hoping to get my quilt finsihed today, just the binding next, but the thought of having to do it is making me want to hide under my desk, anyone know of a easy way to bind it coz i hate it lol

Hope you all are having a really GOOD FRIDAY.
