Bump and fun times!!

Some photos of Ethan, and my pregnant bump...photos of my stomach taken at 27 weeks.





Ethan's cousin turns one!

We celebrated Kyle's first birthday and Christening on the 18th April. We were invited to a little party and Ethan had loads of fun...not to mention Smarties!!! LOL!

Ethan's opa Werner took some lovely photos of the day, and there are some lovely ones of Ethan! Take a look!



Baby's nursery!

We have finished the nursery, the clothes and bedding have been washed, and bags packed..now all we need is for baby to come. Not too soon though! I am really big now, and everyone asks if I am due any day now. Baby has dropped, and is sitting quite low.

I feel constantly tired, and heavy, but still love being pregnant. I love feeling little one move inside me. It is such a special time.

I am so excited for his arrival now, not long to go at all. 6 weeks till his due date!

Here are some photos of the nursery. We have a space theme for this little room and have put decals and artwork to match. Sven bought an alien abduction lamb which is very fitting! My mum made a fantastic cushion for my chair, I bought some vintage space fabric and she did her magic. I love it!

27 weeks....loving my bump!

I am now 27 weeks pregnant. All is going quite well, I still have a bit of nausea now and then, which isn't so nice. I am also feeling tired all the time, it went away for about 2 weeks and then came back with a vengeance! My bump is lovely and round, but quite heavy! It all feels so very different to how I was with Ethan. None the less I still love being pregnant, it's such a special time.

I have been quite emotional, little things make me want to cry. I am keeping it all inside at the mo, don't want to seem too much like the crazy preggo woman! Hormones can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em! LOL!

Sven has been painting the baby's room, lord knows it needed it after being my studio for 5 years!!! Now it's a matter of cleaning the carpet...yes there is paint and charcoal on it too! Not too bad tho, as I had old carpet cut offs overlaying the carpet. Hopefully we will be able to buy some furniture and decorate the wee mans room soon!

Ethan finishes up at nursery this week, and I have just had a call saying theres been a few cases of chicken pox at the nursery! JOY! Why now when he finishes up?! Sods law...but at least he gets them now and not later. I have had chickenpox so all should be okay if he gets them!

Ethie is such a sweetie....he is talking so well now, and comes out with new words all the time. My favorite thing that he says at the moment is "Pitty wowa"...aka pretty flower! It's so sweet in is little voice. I love the little chap so much!!!!

Here are some self portraits of me and bump! Hoping to have some family shots done before baby comes!!
Not long now before he joins our little family! Can't wait to meet him!
