Nightwolf's Den

Up to town early today so they could take my blood (after I drank some foul tasting sugar drink) and test to see if I have gestational diabetes. hoping I don’t have to do that test again for awhile.

ended up coming home and trying to have a nap. it’s so overcast & warm here though so I wasn’t very successful. hopefully it cools down a bit tonight so I can get a few things done.

I hear it’s Thanksgiving in the USA today (it’s plastered everywhere on the net lol). Not a holiday we celebrate here in Oz but I thought I’d wish all my US reader a happy Thanksgiving and share a few things I’m thankful for.

I’m thankful for

• a loving husband who is one of the best things to ever happen to me
• the new life growing inside me
• all my friends
• having enough food on the table to keep my family healthy
• for having the freedom to do most things I want
• scrapping 😉

 

(oh look, it’s a list – my List for Thursday this week: Things I’m thankful for)

so what are you thankful for?

notice the date??? Exactly ONE MONTH til Christmas!!!

and guess what I’m not stressed. I’ve got all my presents either bought or ordered. Had a mishap with the Christmas tree but that is ok because we have a small one that will do this year – seriously it’s just me & hubby so we don’t need a big tree – next year is a different matter.

Food presents are organised and will be made in the days leading up to Christmas so they don’t melt. and we know what we’re doing Christmas Day.

Onto other things….

went to another ante-natal class tonight. Learnt about what to expect if we need help with the delivery or something goes wrong. Nothing really scary but it’s good to know what will happen if anything goes wrong. Discussed what to pack in our bags to take to hospital. but I’ll discuss that more on bub’s blog so not to bore u all here 😉

Scrappy wise – I still haven’t done any paper scrapping. hope to do some this weekend. Roll 2 Create’s first major competition has just finished and the voting is open so pop on over and vote for the super talented girls who took part in the 12 week competition. All the details are on the blog.

Anyways it’s nearly 11pm here & I’m off up to town in the morning for a blood test then back home to get some more of my TAFE course done (& finally handed in), wrap some more presents and get the grocery list done so I can do my shopping for the fortnight.

Catch ya all 2morrow!

I’ve spent most of the day teaching or coding

I’ve teaching a family friend how to use her new laptop & the internet.

I’ve also been working on the Roll 2 Create site and blog and tearing my hair out over another site redesign. nothing major just trying to get some CSS to work and make the page look how I want it – without using tables lol lots of fun.

actually managed to sleep thru the night last night – well til 5:30ish but I’m still tired.

just a short & sweet today 🙂

Just thought I’d share some pics with you all today.

My kitty Mystra on the cat scratcher

my latest baby bump shot (slowly getting bigger)

and a nappy bag handmade by one of mum’s friends

  

and now a question for you all. I’m looking for another scrapping class to take. any suggestions?

Seriously? We had a thunderstorm again last night and today it has rained nearly all day. I’m even in a jumper & jeans (after wearing tshirt & shorts for the last week or so)

Have had a quiet day today. Hubby spent the day playing The Sims 3 World Adventure *sigh*

I think I might spend the night scrapping. If I do I’ll b back later with some pages to share. 🙂

(ok so it’s Friday but better late than never)

Today’s list is all about baby stuff – really a wish list of things I’d like for bub LOL

So for the cot, I want the Boori Country Collection New Classic Cot bed (it converts to a junior bed) in Walnut.

and the Classic 3 Tier change table also in Walnut

a Safe-N-Sound Unity capsule

plus a couple of things for me 😉

a birthing wrap

divinity maternity nightie

 

Now a question for my gorgeous readers – well mainly for those who are scrappers. I’m on the lookout for layout ideas for bub’s album, especially layouts of ultrasounds. so link me up 🙂

I’m so falling behind in the classes I’m doing.

All the stuff for Holiday’s In Hand will be over at my Christmas blog but I’ll post the occasional piece here just to share with you all 🙂

Gonna try and catch up with Shimelle’s prompts over the next day or two.

so one of the prompts in the last couple of days has been about blogging ideas for future scrapbook pages.

I definitely want to create a page about the 3D ultrasound we had done yesterday with journaling about how bub decided to not play nice and kept rolling over and then decided to roll over for about 5 minutes and gave us some gorgeous shots of bub’s face. and how bub kept putting his/her hands in front of his/her face.

Okies better get ready to head off as we’re going to the in-laws for tea. Will be back later with my list for Thursday.

 

Went and had our 3d ultrasound today. It’s amazing what they can do now. Will update bub’s blog 2morrow with some more pics and another update 🙂

Heading to bed now as it’s been a very long day. on the upside (apart from the amazing shots of bub) we got most of Xmas shopping done! totally unusual for me LOL

is gonna be a looong day. I’m off to have a 3d ultrasound then spend a day in town before heading to another ante-natal class 2morrow nite.

Very excited about the scan. so there will b lots of pics to share.

spent most of today rebuilding my laptop. got a virus (& had a few other problems) so I decided to rebuild.

anyways that’s part of the reason for the short post today.
