Where are we at?

I've been struggling to write the last while, I have noticed a major change in my writing style which is also evident in the hundreds of half baked posts that have yet to see the click of the publish button. So with that being said, I am going to bullet point my way through this one. 

• BD is still away in Durban and didn't come home this past weekend and it looks like he might not be coming back for the next 2 or 3 weekends while they prepare to go live on their project. So this means a lot of weekend with little to do.

• This weekend however kept me relatively busy... On Saturday was the She is.... Grace, conference hosted by Light of The Nations church with Pushie Watson and Paula White being the guest speakers.An interesting day it was indeed and I left there with a lot of think about. Ps Pushie's message was absolutely spot on with everything going on in our lives and it left me totally blown away.

• On Sunday I drove to Jo'burg and spent the day with my parents. We went for breakfast (no eggs this time) and then went shopping for a few baby things.

• My Mom and Dad are so excited that Jared is on the way and he is already being super spoilt. Blankets and clothes and all sorts of goodies. I chose a little 4 piece onesie, legging and bib set. Since I have decided on a giraffe theme, this little set was perfect.

                                             

• I'm keeping a vigil on takealot at the moment to see when Sophie La Giraffe is on special again. I really want this want this teether. When I asked S to look online for me he saw it was R230. We should have bought it then, it's back to R329 now and I'm struggling to justify the price right now. He said he will keep an eye on it for us. Sophie, in my opinion, is a status teether and I'm quite cool with falling into that trap, I just want to do it at the right price. There is a lot of hype around this giraffe and I have seen a lot of rave reviews so I am convinced. 

• We still need to get the big things, pram, cot and changing table. I have something very specific in mind for the changing table, and have yet to see it, so will just keep looking. I would probably find that in an  antique store or similar. Maybe would be good to look there and can refurbish it if need be. This one here is about as close to the one I orginally saw:

                              
                                                                       I love this!

• I'm 20 weeks now... can't believe how time has flown. Halfway to meeting the love of my life! It feels as if it was just yesterday I was looking at those 2 little pink lines. 

                                                         

• I have another scan on Thursday afternoon and I always feel so weary as the day draws near. Some days it all feels so surreal and I can't believe it. For the longest time I believed that having a child was out of my reach and yet here I am now. We discussed the birth this weekend and although I'm not too fussed, I have been thinking about it more and more. I would like a natural birth, if possible, but my doctor is worried that it would be too stressful for me a considering my history with  my lungs collapsing and the severity of my asthma. I guess I will see closer to the time as well. I should probably start discussing it with my doctor when I see him again. 

I think that's about it for now. There are a few changes in the pipeline that I will blog about when we know more.

Will keep you posted!
