friday's letters

Dear LAST week's Friday's Letters,
I wrote you. According to my Blogger app you are still being "saved". You have become the missing blog post. Maybe some day I will be able to access you and share you with the world...but I'm not holding my breath (this is what happens when you are 37 1/2 weeks pregnant, couch bound and too tired to turn on the computer for a post so attempt to post from your phone! ... which I'm doing again today...)

Dear DIY mobile,
I'm so pleased with how you turned out! Necessity really can produce amazing results :) Now it's a shame I can't sew or Baby's nursery would be a lot closer to being done!

Dear Husband,
Thanks for putting up with my grumps today. And for the many midnight toast requests. And for being patient through all the times I thought something was happening in the last week (in my defense, things WERE happening, they just didn't progress!)

Dear Nursery,
A lack of funds means you are likely to be a work in progress for a while...but that's ok! I think you are still coming along really nicely! I might even do a sneak peek later this week! (along with a post about some DIY and freebies that have helped us build up the nursery on a budget!)

Dear Baby,
I love being pregnant. And I'm going to miss you being safe and sound in my belly. But at the same time, I'd really appreciate if this continual on and off thing would stop - if you wanna do this, let's do it! But if not, please stop this guessing game for a while...

Dear Bumpdate Post,
You are written. Promise. I just need to get off my butt and get the photo off the hubby so I can post! I will get around to it. ..

Dear Work,
I don't miss you. Sorry, not sorry!

Dear Readers,
I promise to be more consistent soon. The last fortnight has thrown me through a loop! Happy Friday, I hope you all have a great weekend!

Dear CPH,
You've been so good this whole pregnancy (well, relatively!) - don't spoil it now please! 

Dear Friday,
Thank you so very much for going so fast! As I type I have an hour left of my 10 hour shift and I could not be happier that today didn't drag...

Dear Baby,
I'm very, very sorry that you didn't like getting prodded by the midwife today and while I was entertained by your big leg stretch immediately afterwards (almost like a "well if you're going to push me in I'm going to push right back out!"), I would really appreciate it if you calmed down and stopped using my organs as a punching bag now! 

Dear Nursery Furniture,
I'm so glad you arrived when you were supposed to! It's been so fun getting organised all week...

Dear Nursery,
While it's been fun getting organised this week, I truly can't wait to start decorating you!

Dear Weekend,
I'm looking forward to another nice, quiet one with the hubs. Hurrah. :)

Dear Ashley and Jonathan,
CONGRATULATIONS ON BABY CALEB :)

friday's letters

Dear Friday,
I am SO glad you're here. I still have to get through 10 hrs of work but I'm exhausted and looking forward to this weekend! 

Dear Work,
3 more weeks. I can't wait to see the back of you for a year! #sorrynotsorry!

Dear Readers,
Those posts I promised are coming! I've been busy nesting this week apparently... for now, here's one of our maternity photos to tide you over!

Dear Calm Birth Course,
You rocked! But you made me suddenly focus on Baby's birth and now I can't go back to just going with the flow - but it so much harder counting down! 

Dear Hubby,
I love you. Last weekend made my heart swell with how lucky I am you will be by my side and just how bonding what we are going to go through will be :)

Dear Baby Furniture,
Finally, FINALLY you are being delivered this afternoon. Oh how I wish I could be home. This weekend, you are getting put together! 

Dear Nursery,
Watch out. You are about to get an overhaul! 

friday's letters

Dear Baby,
Your crazy tricks in my stomach this morning made me look like you had pitched a tent in the left side of my stomach - it was creepy and cool, all at the same time!

Dear Readers,
Make sure you read this post to read up on an awesome freebie from Nursing Pillows!

Dear Friends and Family,
You are all amazing. Seriously. Our Baby Shower rocked and you have all spoiled Little Bean so much! We appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts!

Dear Plumber Man,
Ok, I didn't meet you but I love you. Thank you for installing our new hot water service after ours gave up the ghost (turns out it was from 1998!!!). Looking forward to a hot shower tonight after having to visit other people since Wednesday!

Dear House/Electrical Items,
Please, no more breaking ok? We are being very nice to you, I don't know why you don't like us!!

Dear Universe,
What did we do to piss you off...hmm??

Dear Calm Birth Course,
Pumped to start you tomorrow! Hope you are full of lots and lots of helpful information!

Dear Maternity Photos,
Swoon. That is all.

Dear Work,
No offense, but I'm over you. Bring on holidays in 4 weeks!!

my sister used this image on the Facebook page she created to chat with those coming to the shower...isn't it cute?!

Short, but sweet today!

Dear Weekend,
I'm so glad you are here. So, so glad! Only 5 working weeks left - phew!

Dear Stabby, Stabby Headache,
Go away! Baby and I aren't interested in you!

Dear Baby Furniture,
Please come this week! I would love to get started on actually putting together Little Bean's nursery instead of just dreaming about it.

Dear Baby Shower,
I am so very excited for you, and can't believe you are tomorrow!! How in the world did we get to this point so quickly?? Posts will follow!

Dear Readers,
I hope things are starting to get more interesting around here! All going well there will be some bigger changes soon too...

Happy Friday everyone!

friday's letters

dear Friday,
I'm so, so glad you are here and I'm even gladder (yep, there's my great English coming out!) that I have NOTHING on tomorrow and I can chill...providing the hubs gets the house in order today!

dear House,
I'm so sorry that after making you all pretty we have neglected you this last week! I promise you will be straightened out again soon. If you have any issues, please speak with The Flu.

dear Flu,
You are evil, evil, evil and I hate you. Why did you have to show up now? Come on man, I only have 9 and a bit weeks left, you could've left your visit for next year! This pregnant Mama is unimpressed you have resulted in her requiring antibiotics after not taking so much as a Panadol this whole pregnancy...not to mention the lack of energy, lack of sleep thanks to stuffy noses and sore tummy muscles from coughing so much. Baby and I hereby evict you!

dear Maternity Shoot,
Oh my, you went so amazingly well! Our little sneak peek (yep, shared again below...sorry!) has tided me over for a few days but now I am simply dying for Sandra to get back from her vacation to be able to see the rest. It was such a lovely afternoon chatting babies and catching up with Sandra, and spending some quiet time with the hubs, loving on the Bump. I can't wait to add some Bump pics to Baby's nursery!

dear Baby,
I can't believe we are down to single digit weeks left! That is crazy to me! This point seemed so far away before and now...we are under the 10 weeks left til your due date mark...wow...

dear Blogworld,
I keep promising posts other than baby updates but I haven't quite gotten there yet have I? Oh my, to have more time in the day...

dear Life,
Sometimes you rule. Thanks.

friday's letters

Dear House,
You looked so pretty for our first house inspection today! You are really starting to come along, although not quite at a point of showing you off on le ol' blog yet. I wish I had enough money lying around to do all the amazing things I have planned in my head...but slowly and surely we will get there...Now here's hoping hubby helps me keep you looking as sparkly as you do right now! (oh I can't wait to be home every day to make sure you shine!)

Dear Little Bean,
You are CHEEKY! Why will you not let Mumma get a cute video of you wiggling around? As soon as I turn off the camera, you dance around like there's no tomorrow but once it's aimed at my belly - nothing!

Dear Clothes Line,
I've decided you suck. You get only the earliest morning sun, when the air is still damp and cold so nothing dries on you anyway. You need to move. I wonder if our owner will let us...otherwise I'm buying a new, shiny one for the other side of the yard!

Dear Maternity Shoot,
I am so excited for you tomorrow! Please have beautiful sunny weather like you are supposed to, instead of being dreary and overcast like you were on Wednesday...I'm dying to have these pictures taken :)

Dear Nursery,
I wish I could really get stuck into you! Damn the wait for our furniture...Guess Virtual Planning will be taking place instead!

Dear Work,
No offense, but I'm over you. 7 more Mondays left...not that I'm counting down...

Dear Readers,
Thank you for hanging in there with me! I know there have only been Bump Updates lately but I promise to try and get stuck into some ACTUAL posts now that life is *slowly* starting to calm back down...

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!

friday's letters

Dear pregnancy symptoms, You are first trimester stuff - why are you bothering me now?! Go away so I can go back to enjoying everything!

Dear Autumn, I'm ready for beanies and scarves and snugly clothes! Let the cooler weather stick around now!

Dear rental property hunting, I strongly dislike you. I wish you were over. Or that someone would buy us a house (or at least let us have the pretty, pretty rental I saw yesterday that's just out of our single wage budget!)

Dear husband, Thanks for putting up with my crazy :)

Dear baby, Your Daddy felt you kick this week! BEST THING EVER!

friday's letters

Dear Little Bean, everyone knowing about you now is very exciting! But please, no more trips to the ED for Mama - and preferably no more needles for a while! Just keep growing away, big and strong!

Dear Husband, it's almost your birthday! Last one before becoming a Daddy and first one as a married man. I would love for it to be special for you!

Dear Followers, thanks for following along with me for so long! The wedding recaps will continue, I'll start to include bump updates very soon (sorry to those not so interested in baby bumps but I promise you can just skip those posts!) and I'm hoping once we are back in our own places that I'll be able to start posting more regularly and including more of our life! I seem to find it easier when we are living alone, life seems too hectic at my parents'!

Dear Time, I can't decide whether I want you to slow down or speed up! I can't believe it's been a whole week since Good Friday already, and that we are already in April and this Sunday marks 4 months in our pregnancy! BUT, I would really like you to speed up my work day today... Particularly towards my dinner break as this Mama is hungry!

Dear Life... Bring it! :)

Linking up with Ashley for Friday's Letters for the first time! Been meaning to do this for a while but...well, today I can start with a bang!

Dear Husband, Today marks 6 months since our wedding. It's flown by, yet at the same time it seems like we have always been together in this marriage. I'm so excited to be next to you through all of life's journeys and everything we have coming up for us.

Dear Life, You kinda rule right now. I'm so excited to see what you have in store for us and where this year will be taking us!

Dear Followers, SURPRISE!
