Third Trimester WOOP WOOP

I dont understand the whole trimester thing. If it was 9 months of pregnancy it would be split up into 3 equal months, but 40 weeks of pregnacy = 10 months???

Anyway, I am pretty certain the third trimester starts at 28 weeks - which is what I am today!!!!!

12 weeks to go and I am so excited.

Off to Broken Hill next Wednesday 17th Feb to book into the hospital and do some baby shopping :)

Still raining in Cobar - just lovely!!!

Love & countdowns,

The Boys

My baby started pre-school yesterday! What a lovely day. He turned it on in the morning and didnt want to go to school.

He wanted to be small again, so he didnt have to go! LOL

We conned him into going and he loved it!!!! YAY for pre-school.

He was absolutely knackered when we got home and took himself to bed... bless.

Lewis and I had a lovely day together. We got the rest of his school gear, had lunch down and did some jobs at home.

Lewis starts today - he is super excited.

February Already?

Where did the last month go? I hope this is no indication as to how fast the year will go!

Riley

Riley starts pre-school tomorrow - I am a little nervous for him, he is such a homebody and a Mumma's boy :) He is very excited about making new friends though.

Lewis

Lewis starts school on Thursday. We decided to switch him from blue school (convent) to green school (public) mainly due to the fact that he barely learnt anything last year, he practically hated going to school and I think the public has better access to technology etc. So we made the decision as a family but EVERYONE HAS A BLOODY OPINION.

We've been made feel like shit because we are changing his school! What the? But as I usually do I just smile and listen to the crap.

A child's school should not be a "status symbol" for the parents it should be about their education and encouraging competition in their lives. There are more kids at green school, so he will make more friends and will compete more both academically and physically. What's the point of having a child that is top of their class when there is only 5 male students the same age as them, compared to 35?

At the end of the day Cobar - all of the kids go to the same high school...

So I will stick to my guns and see how he goes at green school!

To the opinionaters... I dont judge you or your children, so please keep your opinions to yourselves!

House

Our house is getting there slowly but surely. I got a measure up for a new kitchen the other day, just waiting on the quote now! Have been looking at interior doors etc this week but we need to get gyprock, carpet, cornices, skirting boards etc soon.

The pool is looking fabulous. It went a bit green for a while (still getting my head around how to maintain a pool), but have done some reading etc and it is looking beautiful. The kids are getting a lot of use out of it anyway.

Baby Star

Coming up to 27 weeks this week - 13 weeks to go!! That has gone fast. I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday to get the results of my diabetes blood tests - fingers crossed I dont have gestational diabetes again. I feel very energetic and healthy though, so that has to be a good indication of my health! The baby is moving so much and feels like heaven when it kung-fu's iteself around my belly :)

Brock

Brock and Michelle are getting married in 10 weeks time! I am looking forward to a trip to Mildura with the family to celebrate this very anticipated occasion. Now to find something that will fit my "going to be very pregnant belly"?

Best go and start my day.

Love and wedding bells, Jes
