These are bubby's new blocks that his Dad made him. Now I am going to paint them and we can start building! There are more than appear in this photo, the others were already spread around the house, a sign of things to come no doubt. Now that he is walking I find things all through the house. Just some off the top of my head are: the cheese grater in the toybox, an onion in the shower and the toilet brush in the dogs water bucket.

I took this photo of Baden today, out in our backyard. We went to buy a new camera this afternoon because the camera we have just annoys me, the shutter speed is so slow and the batteries are always going flat and I just miss shot after beautiful shot of my baby. So we went off to a camera sale and they only had one staff member working. We had to wait for ages to be served and then felt rushed so I didn't buy anything. We were there to spend around a thousand dollars and they have now lost that money forever. Serves them right. So I am going to go shopping during the week.

In this photo he has just picked a little yellow flower. He held it up to his nose and then he stood up and came over and handed it to me. Flowers from my little boy, I am a very lucky mummy indeed!

Here is a pic of Bubby's 1st Birthday cake for his party we had back in July. It was a very good day, he got so many presents I was quite overwhelmed and happy that so many people came to share the day with us.

I had two attempts at this cake before I got it right, and two goes at the one I did before that which was a 3D teddy. That one will go down in history as one of the world's biggest disasters and I think its pretty safe to say the no child of mine will ever be getting a 3D cake for their birthday :)

Knitted Jumpers

Teddy Bear jumper was the first thing I made him.

Little doggy jumper. I entered this in a knit-off and it won. I love to see my beautiful baby warm and snuggly in something I have made him.

Here are a few things I have made for bubby. A beanie in Manly colours (shame they lost, lol) and a knitted vest with a little train on it. I will post a few more pics of things I have made him shortly.

And here he is. I can't remember exactly how old he was in the first picture, a few weeks.
A lovely placid little fellow. Always got alot of comments on his hair-do!

And now, at 1 year old, hair has gone blond, and he is so cheeky.

Weeeell, its been a while since my last post but I decided to keep it there anyway.

Needless to say, I went on to have a beautiful baby boy on 31st July 2006 and we named him Baden.

He is now 14 months old and as healthy as a horse, running everywhere and getting into everything and is the apple of his mother's eye and the joy of his father's life.

So now this blog will turn to things involved in the life of a Stay at Home mum of one who is one.

Had the morphology scan yesterday at 19 weeks 4 days. All is healthy.

When she went to check his heart I was a bit stressed. Then she goes "its not really in the ideal position" and for a second I thought she meant the baby's heart, but of course she meant the baby wasn't in the ideal position to check his heart.

My own heart skipped a few beats.

We got a couple of sheets of film of his little feet, his face, his willy, everything!

I went to the hospital this morning, have transferred to Liverpool, just down the road, so I can stay home longer. I vomited twice. I don't like hospitals, they make me feel very stressed. I wish I could have the baby at home.

Had my scan this morning and my due date has changed AGAIN. Far out.

So I am 17 weeks and 2 days along and have to go back for another scan in a couple of weeks. But I am using the same referral so I don't have to pay and I get to see my son twice.

Yes, that's right. MY SON!!

A wee boy. I am ECSTATIC. Over the moon, so unbelievably happy and relieved. I just KNEW it and wanted it so badly, even though I knew I shouldn't.

Now due on August 13th.

My boy.

Wednesday 8 March

Well, I didn't rebook my appointment so the original scan is still the one we are going to, which is tomorrow. Its very very exciting.

I haven't felt my baby move at all, and everybody else on the discussion board I go on seems to have felt something. It might be because my placenta is at the front. At the very first scan the lady said that I probably wouldn't feel anything till after other people do, because of this.

So, she said around 20 weeks would be when I would feel something and I am only 18 weeks now so I shouldn't panic.

Its so hard not to worry about things.

So tomorrow is the day we find out if the baby is healthy and what flavour it is. Wow.
