WAGGLE IS DUE NEXT WEEK!!!

Daddy and Harrison having a Shave!!

Tackling all the fantastic toys that Aunty Mel, Uncle Ja and Brayden sent for me to  play with :)

Just Looking "HUNKY" in my HUNK top from the Seymour's!

Just Chillin' in my "I DIG MOM" PJ's all the way from America! Thanks Aunty Jenn, Uncle Ted, Charlotte and Victoria

Wow!! Waggle is almost due!
Sorry i have been slack and have not posted anything for a little bit. Just trying to do a hundred things before Waggle comes and most of all relax and spend time with my boys. :)
We are very excited that our due date is only next week and can't wait to see our new little baby, when he or she decides to arrive!
We have had two appointments since i last wrote. The first one everything is good and he said there was no signs of me going early and that he didn't think Waggle would be as big as Harrison was (10lb 6oz). Which although that sounds good i will wait until the baby is out to believe that or not! If i had to say right now i would say yes he is right i dont think Waggle will be quite as big as Harrison, but then again who knows- and if i go over.... they really stack on lots of weight in last weeks so it will still be a very well nourished baby!
Our appointment 2 days ago we could see (on the ultrasound) that my placenta has started to age and get spots, which it does towards the end. So that is a good sign.... lets hope when we go back on monday that there will be lots of spots on the screen!
He says i will be back for my appointment on monday.... in other words still not looking like i will go before then.
But as i keep saying to Jono... i am healthy, waggle is healthy and that is all that matters! I have talked myself into believing that i will go late again so i think that helps.
I can tell there is alot of people starting to get impatient.... you would think i would be the more impatient one when i am the one still throwing up and aching etc.
But i know Waggle will come when the time is right... early, on time, late, induced or not.
Some clients of Jono's Glen and Kerry are due on the 1st and two weeks ago were told they were going to go early, and then this week Dr angus told them they may not make it past midnight. So we are very keen to hear whether they have a new baby yet!! They have a little boy who is a few months younger than Harrison.

Now i have to say a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to SHELLEY, CHRIS and CODY as Baby JACK PHILIP PETERSON finally arrived!!!! He is sooo cute and looks just like his big brother Cody! Well done guys :)

We had "Grandpa" come and stay a night on his way back to Sydney and he delivered a huge amount of toys and clothes for Harrison from Aunty Mel, Uncle Ja and Brayden! He loves everything that they sent up..... especially Bob the Builder.
Thank you so much to Aunty Mel, Uncle Ja and Brayden!! He loved having lots of new things to look at and play with :)
Harry was a bit sick again- had him at the hospital with very high temp. Poor little man, sore ears and throat and sinuses were all puffed up. He was not well at all. :(
Two days later Aunty Rach came down on the plane and stayed for two nights.
Harrison was very excited by the planes at the airport this time.... He calls the qantaslink ones "Aunty Rach's" and says kangaroo when he see's it.
We are constantly checking Waggle's room to make sure its ready and that we haven't forgotten anything. Still feel weird as we haven't had to buy anything this time round. Where as with Harrison we were starting from scratch.
I have spent day after day searching for curtains for Harrison's room. All we wanted was plain blue lined curtains- who ever would have thought it could be so hard!
Even was willing to make them from scratch... but no fabric in a plain nice blue!
I eventually found some navy ones for sale in perth, so i have purchased them and hope they arrive in the next few days. I was hoping for more of a royal/colbolt blue but this navy doesnt seem to be too dark. So they will just have to do, and if they are really too dark then i will just have to keep searching and sell them.
Never imagined it could be so difficult.
We sent / gave out all Harrison's invites to his "Hoot Party" and i have finished making the decorations. We are currently attempting the cake... so i know how to do it and how much time i need etc, as waggle will be here and i have to be as organised as possible!
Harrison has been having lots of fun with the girls across the road , Bec and Gemma. He loves having them over for a play! They are very keen to know when everything happens and are always offering to mind Harrison if we need, so nice to know that there is still people around who are so caring... Bec has even convinced her mum that if i go into labour and mum isn't here yet that she can leave school early to mind Harrison! hahaha
Jono is still very busy at work and says he is having trouble concentrating knowing that Waggle will be here soon! He is trying to get lots done so that when waggle comes he can have 2 weeks off. Wow that will be so nice :)
So it's still a waiting game.... but not long now :)
We will keep posting and hopefully one of the next few is a special post saying "Waggle has arrived".
If i do not have your email, make sure you send it through to me so i can add you and make sure you get the email too.
Hope everyone is well..... :)

WAGGLE IS DUE THIS MONTH! (Waggle Take Note- "THIS MONTH")

Sorry for only just getting to this now, but i thought... better late than never!
I meant to write last week after seeing Waggle, but just never got to it.
Jono and I have both had a terrible cough and jono took some cough medicine ( i obviously can't) and ended up having a bad allergic reaction to it and was so itchy and broke out in rashes all over and it lasted for 6 days! And most of the time he would break out at the exact time in which he took the medicine! Poor thing... it didnt look like fun!
So, last week was a bit busy. Monday we got to see Waggle, who was scrunched up and hiding behind his or her legs and arms... so a photo was not really happening. Dr Angus was very happy with everything and Jono said to him as a joke... So How is our little 6lb 10oz baby coming along (joking that it would only be that when waggle is born) Dr Angus replied.... with a laugh- "Yes, it might be that now!"
So there is still no fears of Waggle being little!
In the last few weeks they are meant to pack it on at about 1/2 -1 lb a week! I guess we will see soon enough just how "Little" or "Big" Waggle is.
Maybe just Maybe mum will be right and Waggle will suprise us at a petit 9lb something! lol
Monday was also Mum's birthday. She came up and spent the day with us which was nice.
Harrison and I took her out to lunch, which was yummy and Harrison was extrememly well behaved. Such a big boy. Jono was very busy at work but managed to come and see us quickly.
We then went down to the shops for awhile. Harrison even said "Happy Birthday Nanna" quite a few times.
I have been nesting .... either that or just silly! Cleaning and rearranging things in cupboards etc....
We also spent alot of time during the week deciding just what we were doing for Jono's birthday which was on Friday. Thursday morning Harrison and i( and Waggle) did a very quick trip down to the shops to get everything we needed ... mind you silly me forgot the toy sale started and thank god the all the people were mostly in the layby line!
Friday arrived and Harrison was very excited that it was Daddy's birthday! He even remembered where i had hid the presents! Jono went off to work and then on Friday night i had planned a suprise dinner for him. He thought it was just Harrison and I (and Waggle) taking him out. But i had asked Mum,John, Mel, Ja and brayden, Amanda, Dave, Ava and Owen and Shelley, Chris and Cody (and baby- who we are still waiting for!) Unfortunately only Mum, and Amanda, Dave, Ava and Owen could come.... until poor little Owen burnt his finger and was not very happy :(
So it ended up as just Mum and us.... but the best bit was seeing jono get a little suprise. He was very thankful to Mum for coming up for his birthday. The dinner was very very nice and once again Harrison was very well behaved.
We went home for some birthday cake where Harrison hated the candles... and cried again. Mind you he got over it pretty quick when he was offered some cake to eat.
I made jono a golf cake... he loved it. I said to him- its amazing that out of the 6 birthdays of his we have been together not once had i made a "golf" cake until now!
We had reserved the whole weekend to ourselves to spend some time together and do a few things for jono's birthday.
Yesterday we got to see Waggle again. Harrison was very excited to go to the "Fishie Dr". I said to him before we left... "are we going to go see the fishie dr?" and he replied with "And Waggle" it was so cute.
Waggle is still going along very well.... and is looking just a tad squished in there as you can see in the picture. Harrison was very talkative to Dr Angus and told him that we called the baby Waggle.
The whole afternoon Harry kept telling me that we had been to the Dr and seen the fishies and Waggle.
Mind you when we came home he went to bed for his sleep and spent the first 45mins singing "Happy Birthday .. To You"  at the top of his lungs! I do wonder whether he has a severe case of the verbal runs or whether he is just following in my footsteps as a "Procrastinator"
He continued the theme last night ... talking for an hour before we went in.
Mind you this is a huge improvement... as since Harry was sick a few weeks back he has hated the idea of putting himself to sleep at night unless he knows we are close by where he can see us. Which is so unlike him as he has always been so good settling etc. But i guess sometimes they just go through stages and i am sure he will get there. He has been doing very well this week... once by himself and last night he was almost asleep from talking, mind you he was complaining his head was sore and had a temp (had a head butt with jono earlier in night) so i dont blame him for not getting to sleep... probably had a little headache. But at least he doesnt seem as scared now and not screaming.
It has had us puzzled as during the day he goes to bed like an angel and he has a night light so its not the dark.
Anyway....
We are looking forward to this weekend as we have Ava's 3rd birthday on Saturday and it is a rainbow party! We have to wear our favourite colour!!
Amanda has been extremely busy getting everything organised so i am sure it will be fantastic!
Then Dad (Grandpa) will arrive sunday on his way back home to Sydney.
Aunty Rach is looking at being here during the week on Wednesday and Thursday aswell.
I have decided we need a 4-5 bedroom house, as we grow as a family the only option for people who come to stay is a matress on the floor in the lounge room!! However , moving anytime soon really doesnt sound like fun.
So here we stay... we like it here :)
Harrison is very excited about his birthday already and can't wait to send/ hand out his hoot invites!
He has been saying "Hoot Party" and even told jono on friday (jono bday) he was having a hoot party.
He has also started to understand "Waggle" a little better... as in, he will point to things in Waggles room and say "For Waggle" and he is constantly bringing blankets to me saying "For Baby" and wrapping it around my belly. If you ask him what you have to do when Baby Waggle is sleeping he puts his finger up to his mouth and says "quiet". He is always looking at Waggles nappies and then looks at me like mum these are way too small!
I think i have blabbed enough for now...
hopefully for my friend Shelley's sake the next time i write her new little baby will be here and i will be able to tell you all about him or her! Thinking of you Shelley.... it will all happen within a few days! Yay!
Until next time....
