My birthday and some crazyness

Well, birthday has come and gone - spent the day at home alone (cleaning) seeing as hubby started work on the 4th and our offices only opened on the 11th, so I had some time to myself. School started on the 5th already for Josh, so I decided to take him eventhough I was still at home, but it gave me some time to sort out a few things that didn't get done over the holidays... Fetched him earlier than normal though to spend some time in the afternoon with him. As hubby was on his way to gym the morning of my birthday he got a nasty surprise as they were closed (a privately owned gym) and would only open again from early in the morning the following week, so he came right back home and took us for a nice wimpy breakfast to start the festivities!

As said, I cleaned a bit, Josh was at school and we spend the rest of the afternoon together once he was home, did some garden work, me and him, he ate some flowers, and some dirt and he was nasty after but he enjoyed it, and so did I. Until a blackwidow spider made her way for my hand when I pulled on some weeds, so I dropped everything and so our garden expedition ended. Got Josh cleaned and re-dressed and off for his nap while I showered and cleaned myself of the grubbyness of the earth... Then hubby took us to dinner at Jimmy's Killer Prawn, it was awesome, I had some king klip, prawns, calamari with rice and salad. It was yummy!
"Spending some time with mommy in the garden"

Josh got his mommy a new vanity case, mine is dead from old age and I am still waiting for hubby's present as he ordered it somewhere and now the order is stuck. (Men)


Other than that, a year flew by too quickly, last year we had our 4D scan on my birthday and I can't believe how far we have come since seeing Josh on that screen! It was totally awesome!

Then some crazy, I am so convinced that our next baba will be a girl that I already bought her 3 outfits, now let's just hope this plan doesn't backfire and I shoot myself in the foot! If all goes like I want it, she should be born next year April... Keep them crossed ladies!

Everything in between

Well, our holiday is over! Boo hoo hoo, I am still on leave till the 11th, so atleast I can still chill a bit, although it feels like maternity leave all over again, as Josh is still home with me and hubby is off to work... Josh will be going back to school from tomorrow when they open, so then I can spend some time doing things in and around the house like I planned, being on leave doesn't mean you always have time to do it, we spent maybe 5 or 6 nights in our own beds this holiday, that's insane. Other than that it was always a quick visit here, a sleep over there, having people over for lunch. Hardly rest, really!

Christmas has come and gone, wow, what happened to the Christmas feeling? Did any of you get it? We didn't,even with it being Joshua's first Christmas, I missed it, it felt more like Christmas to me on New year's, if that even makes sense.

New years arrived with a bang (literally) seeing that we were all by our lonesome, can't really go and party with a baby now can you? And we just wanted some time to ourselves... Honestly, sleeping over again would make me sick!

So here's to:
Baby no 2, which will hopefully by conceived by July/August this year (cross your fingers for a girlie wirlie!)
Loosing 10kg's before I fall pregnant again
Keeping up with my expressing up until Josh is a year old
Being better at admin (home admin)
Studying, taking the plunge and doing 13 subjects this year
Just being the best wife/mother/sister/daughter I can be
