OK OK Im sorry Ive ignored you blogger , I found a new love....he's just as fun as you, his name is Face book... Im sure its only temporary but I have been enjoying our time together....What can I say? Il try not to ignor you again ; )

Katie came over last weekend and we ABSOLUTLEY loved having her here! we had so much fun just relaxing, kicking back and enjoying the sunshine, good food and good company! it was'nt enuf time...What a beautiful beautiful girl she is. My husband made her into his surrogant wife! he loves the attention the big tart! On Sunday we caught up with Cheryl, Magda, Kerry, Kate and Vivienne for brekkie which was nice and the rest of the day we hang out down at Glenelg and went on the new Ferris wheel which went extremely slowww...oh well you could see all of Adelaide from the top. AND a big THANKyou Katie for my bootiful little 'Bebe' size 0000 jumpsuits....there so small and cute!

Katie introduced me to Lindy Olsens forum...which has been great to catch up with everyone and read interesting journeys and meet new competitors! So if you havent been past yet come and say Gi'day! www.lindyolsen.com

Ive had a growth spurt....I can feel elbows and shoulders rolling against my tummy....weird but delightful feeling. With this my bellybutton is offically an outty! LOL and I seriously need to consider taking my belly ring out cause its irritating on my clothes.

Im officailly on maternity leave....OMG I'd never thought of ever writing that BUT I AM! and I love it! its the first time I've been off work for so long and havent felt guilty! were on the one wage now, but we seem to be doing fine so far. Its seriously just spending patterns that makes the difference, spend less have more...simple....I never thought we would be able to do the one wage but we are.

OK back to Face Book..sharing is caring ; )

WOOP WOOP!! WOOP WOOP! From the lovely Cheryl's blog...... How exciting is this! Glenelg is the most beautiful place in Adelaide! What a way to get me pumped and motivated 1 month after giving birth! (Im due Mid Feb) And the girl on the pick is the winner of my division when I competed at the Wagga Comps 2006, Deanna Murphy.......NOW IM PUMPED! This is my town lady, I should be on that poster!! GET OUTA TOWN!

LOL....thats todays outburst.

I was looking for a picture to explain how I feel at the moment and I came across this one....oooo HOW CUTE! but HOW I feel is the mother Hippo behind!! I feel HUGE! Ive got celulite in my arms...yes Im retaining alot of fluid.....and cant wait to get moving again. All exercise has ceased because Ive got a lot of pressure in my pelvic area, this jellybean is now a watermelon!...... I have been doing my pelvic floor muscles.... but even thats exhausting.

Yes ladies and gents im coming to the end of this journey AND WANT THIS BUBBA OUT OF ME!!!!

Todays been inspiring, well Ive been sitting at this Temp job (reception at Defence SA) watching YOU TUBE's of Monica Brant in the gym and Jennifer Hendershot at PHAT camp GEEZ These girls ROCK! They make ME pumped everytime!

....and Ive been mind surfing what il do 6wks after baby.....the plan is simple.... the goal is small ....we shall start with core exercise, stretching and keeping up the pelvic floor. They say apparently "9 months to carry and 9 months to lose" so thats what il give myself. I wont be no 'Nicole Richie or Posh spice' after this journey, no no no... there will be no 6weeks to skinnyville....not that they even have nice bodies anyway! not anything to desire in my eyes.

This week I finished my last Cert 4 exam! woooohoooo what an achievement that has been! Ive got 2 more assignments and thats it FULLY QUALIFIED PT! Spartze over next weekend YEHHHH!! and we'll be chilling and catching up...... get some relaxtion into this girl! get her a tan and some nice SA Wine into her! Shes not going to wana go back to Melbourne ; ) heheheh thats the plan ; )

So il come back with some gossip from how our weekend went very soon!

Ive been shopping on ebay! and have had lots of fun! and then hubby took the credit card away from me ; ( so no more shopping for JL ; (

I love this! only pay $25 I also purchased a little pair of Nike shots......just like mine....sooo cute!

Hubby and I are off to Mt Compass Country Cabins on Sunday. A quick little romanitic getaway before bubs comes along and for my birthday on Tuesday Nov 11th AND on my actual birthday we are off to Monarto Zoo for the day to go behind the scenes and feed the lions! IM SOO EXCITED! hopefully theres cubs there. Hubby keeps shit stirring me saying they'll eat me cause theres more of me to eat!

And got some great news the other day my beautiful friend Katie is coming for a visit to Adelaide in December!

Hubby's been working so hard. He's trying to finish his folks tiling before they come back from Europe next weekend, but been doing it after work hours. He's tiling their huge family room, this means straight after work till about 11pm every night for the last 2wks. Its a suprise for when they return home cause its been un-tiled for 15years! so this holiday will be well deserved! Ive organised a special little treat for him Monday morning....a massuese will come to the cabins and he'll enjoy a 1 hour massage out by the river! bless him!

Got a Movement Analysis exam tonight YUK! and then Nutrition lecture till 9pm, tomorrow 9am-5pm and then HOME FREE....were OUTTA HERE!

BABY BABY

Your baby weighs almost 2 pounds, measures around 14 inches from head to heel, and hears noises, responds to light, and is generally more aware of its surroundings. In the same way that you can see a flashlight if you hold it against your palm, your baby can see the light coming through your belly. You may notice increased activity when in brighter light and decreased activity in darkened rooms. Its hearing is fully developed, and as he or she reacts to sounds, its pulse increases. Your baby may even move in rhythm to music!

YES THERES A VERY ACTIVE LITTLE CREATURE INSIDE ME! ITS AMAZING!

HAPPY 31ST BIRTHDAY BABY!Hubbys birthday on the weekend, did nothing flash, just coffee and cake with family and friends, it was lovely and relaxed. I cant do anything full on anyway cause Im so tired these days....I feel like a big heavy cow at the moment!

Ive gone up 3 cup sizes in 6mths and my backs feeling it! Now I know how these big breasted woman feel and why they have such back problems.

TITTY JOB HERE I COME! ; )

Speaking of that ALICIA ALL THE BEST TODAY BELLA...THINKING OF U AND YOUR NEW PUPPIES....LOL x x

P.S Andrea I will get a pic up asap....Im scared to take one! lol x

24 weeks pregnant - 6 month mark! YAHHHH...Third tri-mester here we come!

Your fetus weighs more than 600 grams. Though she still has little body fat and her skin is thin and fragile, she's now well-proportioned. Her brain is growing rapidly, and she is starting to fill the space in your uterus. From crown to heel she could measure 30 centimetres. If you went into labour at this time, however, many obstetricians and midwives would make every effort to halt the progress of premature labour to enable your baby to continue maturing. You may be noticing faint, red or brown streaks known as striae or stretch marks on your abdomen, hips and breasts. While creams won't erase them, wearing a supportive bra may help prevent or minimise them on your breasts. They are very common at this stage of the pregnancy -- about 90 per cent of women get them. After you've given birth, the reddish or brown pigmentation in the stretch marks gradually fades, and the streaks become lighter than the surrounding skin.
No stretchy's yet thank goodness!!
