Only a couple more days until I'm 33 weeks along, 6....did I just say that right!? yes only 6 more weeks until we meet Squirt, there will soon be another baby in the Smith household and in the Dibley household we'll be sweet dreaming away while my sister and brother-in-law grow saddlebags under their eyes hehehe ...speaking of such things; I finally got to check out Squirts nursery yesterday with my own eyes, I must say it looks really awesome, very colourful and my favourite part is the super awesome name plaque on the wall, the name is.....oh wait sorry I can't tell you that part! oh well, only 6 more weeks to wait!
So we've had a few very interesting and entertaining few days, on Saturday we had Sara's mama shower, was a twist on the traditional baby shower but seeing as Sara was fully set up for Squirt and didn't want any more clutter in the house we decided on a mama shower instead which was a girls night only and in lieu of baby gifts people contributed money towards a baby/toddler photo shoot.
I would post photo's of this night but it's not really appropriate to do so as we had a lingerie party with some x-rated themed games, that sure brought out the giggles from all the girls and the next morning I woke up with such a raw throat from laughing so much! There were a few people we would've loved to have shared the night with but a few had weddings to attend and family commitments or they decided to spend the night on facebook instead, but hey you win some, you lose some and it was still a really good night!
I have been utterly spoilt lately! I received a pregnancy massage voucher from Dianne and Natasha (Squirts Nana and Aunty) and a shopping voucher from a family friend who said to treat myself after Squirt is born, I was not expecting any of this and it just really makes me feel loved and cared for so a huge thank you for these wonderful presents! I am so immensely excited about getting my pregnancy massage - pure bliss!!!!
I have also been spoilt in my home life too, there are no words that can really describe how appreciative I am towards my hubby, he has been working some long hours and weekends these past few weeks and still comes home and helps out with all the housework and cooking, he's getting better at hanging out washing without stretching the clothes and is a master towel folder, he even manages to work the oven with an acceptable outcome, he showers Hunter and puts Hunter to bed. Even when I try to get these things done myself he'll grab the vacuum cleaner out of my hand or texts me throughout the day saying "make sure you are resting! I'll do such and such when I get home". I still sneak all my household chores though because I just feel bad that he does so much while I'm being a hormonal monster! Even my 18 month old Hunter senses mama is not so flexible or as fast as she once was and is actually lying down without squirming to get his nappy changed...yes it's the simple things like this that makes my day a lot less stressful!
90% of this pregnancy has obviously centred around myself and Sara tends to get a bit overshadowed like a Dad is during the 9 months but I think it's time she had a bit of spot light put upon her. On March 8th she is shaving her hair off for "Shave for a cure". She is dedicating the shave to her baby Bella as it's made her aware that life is too short and is aiming to raise $750 for the Leukaemia and Blood Cancer sufferers. So far she has reached just over half way to her goal but we need more supporters to reach that target so if you would like to donate then please click on this link:

A short blog entry this week but that's all that's happened over the past week! So keep well and will check in in another week, get clicking on that link to donate!! It's a huge thing for a woman to shave her hair off, I know I certainly don't have the guts to do it!
