EARLY, LATE, ON TIME OR OVER???

Well Only 5 weeks to go!!!
I keep telling myself that i am going to go over as i did with Harrison..... that way if i do go over it wont be so bad! Well thats what i am telling myself for now!
We see Waggle on Monday- cant wait to see him or her!
On the weekend we went to Cody's 2nd birthday and had a really lovely time.
Harrison enjoyed it so much- especially the Wiggles cake, mini trampoline and pass the parcel! Shelley made it through the day without going into labour and also made it through Monday (Cody's actual birthday).
So now that those days have passed- COME OUT BABY! lol We want to meet you.
Harrison spent alot of time on Sunday practicising his golf with Daddy! As you can see in the video, he now will play golf with anything anywhere! Ready, Two Hands, Good Shot! Its so cute!
He has also been saying so much! We can't keep up! He will copy any word that you say ..... he is still doing well with alphabet and counting, and has started copying me or jono whilst saying the alphabet- just like a little cockatoo!
We took him back to the Doctor on tuesday as he has not been himself since he had the terrible cough a few weeks ago. And sure enough he has a sore ear. Doctor says it probably started straight after cough and is only just starting to clear now. No wonder he hasnt been himself!
We have had a fairly quiet week- i have had a few very yuck days, and the weather has been far from nice.
My belly is still growing rapidly- and for those that remember, with Harrison we took measurements around my belly. Well we have been doing it again this time and i am a few cm in front of what i was with Harrison.
Everyone says i am more out front then i was with Harry..... i only see when we take photos! other than that all i see is the top of my belly!
Only a week till Jono's birthday- Harrison and i are planning lots of special things!
I have been wondering the last few days whether or not Waggle will be born on someones birthday! We have so many family and friends between now and the due date!
From now till end of July we have (just to mention a few)
Sarah, Jenny,Greg, Chad, Mum, Jono, Christopher,Ava, Dad, Aunty Carmel, Nanna, Shelley and Owen.... and a few more inbetween!  Plus our Wedding anniversary!
I do remember thinking the exact same thing with Harrison..... and he ended up in August!
As long as Waggle is healthy ( and nice to mummy) thats all that matters!
Hard to believe Harrison will be 2 very soon! I am almost finished his very cute invitations and plan to do a "dummy cake" in the next week. As ofcourse the one we picked is not just a plain, easy one! hahaha Like to make it a bit of a challenge!Next year i will have to make 2 within a short space!!!
Anyway, hope you like the few pics and video.
We will write another blog once we have been to Doctor to see Waggle on Monday!

 
The growing belly!! The black top makes my belly look a little smaller i think!

WAGGLE IS GOING VERY WELL- ONLY 6 WEEKS TO GO!


Today we went to see Waggle at the "FISHIE DOCTOR" (As Harrison calls it- Dr Angus has a very large fish tank in the waiting room, and Harrison loves it!)
Waggle is growing very well, and no suprise is still above average in size! Harrison told Dr Angus he thinks it is a girl, but when we got home he told me it is going to be a boy! Then he continued to say "boy or girl, cant say".... hahaha anyone would think he is 20! not almost 2!
Anyway the main thing is Waggle is very healthy :)
In the photo you can see Waggle has started to change a little and i think is still very much like Harrison but not quite as much as the last few photos! He or she has very chubby cheeks, and in this photo even has his or her eye open!!
We had a lovely long weekend :)
On Saturday we went to the park for Charlotte's  (Krause) 3rd Birthday Party. Her Birthday was in May but Dale her Daddy has just come back from 6 months away, so they had the party when he was back.
Harrison had so much fun and played lots in the playground.
After that we picked up a special suprise for Harrison ( and eventually Waggle). It is a Wag's the Dog Rocker (Rocking Horse/DOG). He Loves it and is constantly saying- "RIDE WAGS"
Sunday we didnt do alot, just a huge grocery shop.
Monday we went out and about looking for a few things for Harrison's Birthday Present. We are trying to make sure we are very organised.
When we were in bunnings Harrison got to do the DIY class. A free class of painting a flower pot :) It was so cute to see him so excited.
He even got to put a flower in the pot and bring it home! This weekend they have a big day up there for kids with jumping castles etc- we may just have to go have some more fun!
This weekend we have Cody's 2nd Birthday party which should be lots of fun! Shelley (Cody's Mum) is also pregnant and only has 2 weeks to go!
Jono has been very busy with work, and tonight on the way home from client visits had a MASSIVE Kangaroo jump inbetween him and an excel in front. Unfortunately the CBA work car suffered. Huge damage to the passenger side- he was so lucky, as it could have been so much worse. Shook him up thats for sure.
Not only am i grateful he is safe and ok, but thankful it wasnt our personal car, or that he was in a little car rather than the outlander. It would have demolished a smaller car!!
We have had huge success with the potty too- Harrison has done 3 Wee's before bed in the last week. He likes to read or sing songs whilst on the potty- as you can see in the picture!!
We hope you are enjoying our blog....

7 WEEKS TO GO!

Sorry we have not posted anything for over a week.... Our internet was broken, lets hope for our sake its fixed now! OR WATCHOUT TELSTRA! Hours on the phone to them during the past few weeks has been driving us insane!
Anyways....
Our week and a bit has been fairly quiet, which is a good thing as it has been very cold. Yesterday it only got to 8 degrees and most nights are in the minus.
Harrison has been all rugged up - beanie and all. He calls his Jumpers or jackets- JUMPBUMS!
He has been very interested in my belly, wanting to give waggle lots of kisses and cuddles. Waggle is still growing by the second- and still making me sick, but when we look at Harrison and how beautiful he is it makes it so worth the throwing up. 7 weeks to go - not that i am counting!
I have had a few little goes on my new sewing machine- and even made the blind for the laundry window!! Watchout!
Over the weekend we did bit of a clean up, sorted through Harrison's room and toys and organised it a bit better for him and realised he is still growing very quickly as quite a few clothes got put back in the "Brayden Hand Me Down Bag" or his crate. We also moved the Elmo curtains from waggles room to Harrison's until i can make some blue ones or buy them. The cold air that comes off the windows is amazing- and wooden blinds do nothing to stop it.
We also gave Harrison a change of doona.... he now has Bob the Builder!! He is forever walking around saying
BOUILDER  ...WE FIX IT! hahah
We made sure we had everything organised for Waggle in Waggles Room. We keep looking at it all and think wow was Harrison ever little enough to fit in cot etc.
My bag is all ready for hospital so now all we have to do is wait! ONLY 7 weeks!!! YAY!
I still have no idea of boy or girl, Harrison has always said GURL and Jono changes is mind every now and then but still mainly girl. Feel free to place your bets! Odds are pretty good - 50% chance of getting it right! lol
This week Harrison has learnt how to sing a few songs... BAA BAA BARBIE SHEEP (as he calls it haha) the alphabet, Its Raining and a few others. He cant sing them in full but if you sing with him he will fill in all the missing bits. In the Alphabet - he loves LMNOP! He can also do all the actions to Rock a Bye a Bear (Wiggles) - the only problem is he will only do that in the shower!!!
There is alot of new things he says, but he likes .. "Smile for the Photo". He has also been looking at our wedding pictures and telling us who everybody is.... Jenny, Ted, Arnie Mul, Brayden, Ja, Nanna, Pop, Papa (Grandpa) ,  etc.... and he tries to say Great Nanna.
We had a little lunch date (for mummy's birthday) on Tuesday with Amanda, Ava and Owen at Hogs Breath, which was very lovely. Harry, Ava and Owen were very well behaved and i think Owen ate the most!!! After lunch we went for a little walk to spotlight, myer etc and Harrison and Ava were playing boyfriend and girlfriend- they held hands the whole time. And if Ava let go Harrison would say "Hand" until Ava held hands again. It was so adorable.
Yesterday Harrison and i went to the shops for a little bit to do a few things and i took him to the toy shop.... he was so funny- walking around pointing to eveything telling me who and what they were. Bob, Roary raching car, Wiggles, Thomas. And then he would yell out ABC KIDS!
He is constantly counting too- all the way to 10! Although sometimes he tricks you and plays around and misses numbers on purpose.
Over the Past week Jono and I have spent most nights tracing and cutting out Harrison's Birthday invitations.... We are making sure everything is prepared so we are organised and don't have to worry about it once Waggle arrives. Hard to believe our little man is going to be 2! If you ask him he will tell you he is going to be 2 :)
Looking forward to our long weekend this weekend.... its so nice when Jono gets to be at home too.
And then We get to see Waggle on Tuesday- so that will be great!!
Here is a little video of Harry kicking in the backyard..... just excuse the "Heavy Breathing" Mummy is finding it a little hard to keep up... the joys of being heavily pregnant!! He especially wanted to show Uncle Ted his skills!
