A last hurrah before..... twins!!

On one of my days off this week I ventured across Sydney to visit my dear friend Mel.  She's got a gorgeous 2 1/2 year old girl who Dylan went head to head with over the toys, and she's due in the next few weeks with twins.  Yep... twinnies!!  The last time we managed to catch up she was right on 20 weeks.  It sure shows how fast time flies!

We also had another friend come for the catch up, who brought her 2 sweet little girls along.  Dylan was totally overrun with girls, but he didn't seem to mind, after all, there were trucks and diggers to play with!



Now my friend Mel swears she doesn't know the genders of her twins, so I'm gonna put my guess in writing right here.  I say one boy and one girl!   I don't know if I've ever been right making uneducated guesses, but I don't quite know how the draino test is supposed to correctly guess one of each.  Yes the draino test!  The infallible, totally legit test where you mix pee and highly toxic draino which will tell you if your unborn bub will have pink bits or blue bits based on the colour of the lethal concoction!  Except in my case...... it was wrong! Ha!

Some people reckon they can tell by the way the bubs are sitting. High, low, wide, square... whatever!  I don't get it!  Can you tell???



Regardless, I think for this far along with twins, Mel looked fabulous and I'm sure newborn twins will be tough, but she'll take it all in her stride.  And if things get tough, there's a bunch of us that will happily come bearing sugar, carbs, caffeine, nappies, or whatever she needs to get through it.  We all love you Mel!

So, until we hear the exciting news, I'll keep my fingers crossed my guess is right, and hope for cool weather, long naps, and good health.

    I'm saying two of the same, but I don't know if it's two boys or two girls! :-)

Week 34 Unfortunately things fell apart during the week.  I was hoping that we were all on the mend but it quickly became apparent that we weren't, and we went downhill quickly.  There's been more whinging and moaning and sleepless nights and day naps and the tissues... boxes and boxes of tissues.  It's just no fun.  When the sleepless nights turn into cranky days, you just lose your shit sometimes. You yell. You yell at anyone who's there. You say things I'm sure you wouldn't normally say if you were well.  And decisions, oh my god, why is it so friggin hard to make a decision??? Like what should we have for dinner? Or should I put that other load of washing on or will it piss down with rain?? This week I've really felt quite isolated.  On my own little sick island where nobody wants to go.  Some days you just wish you had that magic fairy that would come and get your shit done for you.  I've been so lethargic this week that makes it seem everything

We had to go do some grocery shopping one day this week.  I was wearing a new-ish dress and could not for the life of me work out which shoes to wear with it. So Dylan takes the opportunity to choose some from my wardrobe and model them around the bedroom for me!  Such a funny little man!  He even got them on the right feet!   A portrait of my son, once a week, every week in 2015 Shoes were fun for a minute or two... then back to his trains of course!   Joining in with Jodi and Project 52 .   Bel

Week 11 What can I say about this week??  Not much other than there has been a serious lack of sleep.  I can mostly blame this lack of shut eye on the weeny boy, but otherwise I only have myself to blame.  One night out with my girlfriends was the culprit on one of those occasions.  But it was such a fun night, no kiddies, no husbands, just a few hours of good girl gossiping and frivolity!  The next day, being a work day, no amount of concealer would hide the under eye bags. The only thing to do was dose up on coffee and get through the day.  It was good in theory, but after multiple coffees; more than I would normally drink, I was buzzing! I was still buzzing at about 3am the next morning... Not the way to get a good night's sleep. One piece of exciting news for the week was that I finally got my new digital SLR camera! Yippee!!  The bad news is... I don't know how to use it other than "Auto" mode which kinda defeats the purpose. Oh well... It's something new
