Birthday and 'Rest'

This long weekend was my birthday too. It was a busy weekend, but a fun one nonetheless. Fortunately Bubble was kind enough to let me keep my birthday to myself which was very generous. It did make me very tired though and come Sunday night I was shattered and needed to basically head to bed at 9:30.

In my last post I said that I did my first washing of Bubble's clothes. I'm a dag and so took a photo of it.

First round of washing

Sunday morning started with singing at church. I then had the joy of picking Oscar up from JK (Sunday School) and hearing all about his craft - a big fish with Jonah inside. He was so excited which was nice. James and I then took Oscar for an adventure to Bobbin Head. First stop was the playground.

 We then went for a walk on the boardwalk to try and find some crabs. We saw a couple, but not too many.

 It was fun hanging out with Oscar for the day. We then went for a drive to Berowra markets to meet up with Jens and Howie and to have some gozleme. Unfortunately the rain came with us and boy oh boy did it rain. James and I hung around to help out by entertaining Oscar and then we took him back to their place. I was introduced to Angry Birds in real life while James went back to help the Howie's pack up.

Then James and I headed to church to sing and play for the night service. So a busy day but a fun day. Here is one of my favourite photos from the day.

 And here is a photo of me at 27 weeks.

 Yesterday James and I went to visit our friends Luke and Elise who had a baby girl less than a week ago - Hannah. She was so little and so cute! I hope that Bubble will be little, and have a little head! It was nice to see them and have some cuddles with the beautiful girl.

 That was then followed by lunch at Mum and Dad's for my birthday. Thanks for the yummy chinese meal mum! A very special treat.

Then today I went to Castle Towers for a bit of a pampering. I'm not big on going and getting my nails done, however, last year for Christmas I got a few vouchers from kids at school and James to go and I thought it would be a nice way to spoilt myself once I'd finished work. So I went to Beauty at the Towers and got a 'Yummy Mummy' package. This included a foot and hand massage, plus a manicure of both hands and feet and an eyebrow wax. It was nice to get pampered for a bit, but it was also a bit weird as I didn't know what to do while sitting there. The girls were nice and they did a pretty good job. I still have enough to go back again and get the same package so I will see if I do that before having Bubble or if I do it later when I need a break from everything. So here are my nails all prettied.

 Tonight I'm looking forward to going to the movies with James. Again at Christmas I got a gift voucher for the movies and we haven't really wanted to go and see anything. I saw an advertisement for 'What to Expect When You're Expecting' which looks like it will be funny. Hopefully it will be funny. It will either be very relevant and humerous or just a silly movie. Either way I'm looking forward to going and hanging out with James. We also have some money left over so we're going to have fun using the voucher to get food from the lolly bar. Tomorrow I'm back to the dr again. Hopefully my bp will still be good.
