Things I'm Loving...

More linky love from Paisley Jade.

Just a couple of things I'm loving at the moment...

3-minute chocolate cake....mmmmm.  A quick and easy sweet fix (perfect for those preggi cravings), this one below has a few extras in it...

My 40-week baby bump!  Which means baby isn't far off making her way into this world, can't wait to meet her.

Watching Miss Poppet play.  It's so neat that she can now entertain herself for short periods of time.  She also amazes me at how much she chatters away to herself - perhaps it's just a girl thing?

Birth Stories

I love reading birth stories - it's so amazing what we each take away from our children's births and the process our body goes through in getting them here....

My birth story for Miss Poppet was published a couple of days ago on The Mummy Diaries blog so pop on over and have a read.

I've got my fingers crossed we don't have to wait too long to add another!

Autumn Crafty Goodness

We've been waking up to cooler, sometimes chilly mornings...autumn sure is here and winter isn't far off following.  The crochet inspiration has hit me again so while I wait *patiently* for this baby to arrive I've been keeping busy making up some new woolly hats for my girls.

There have been more hats but I haven't gotten around to photographing them yet.

A girly ear-flap hat for my big baby girl....

....if you look closely you'll see her newly chipped two front teeth :0(

Oh, and the Huhu#2 blankie is finally finished!  As you can see, it is rather large.

I recently had to buy a new cellphone as Miss Poppet kept sneakily pinching my old one and used it as a teether.  Eventually, after all the drool and numerous hotwater cupboard visits it packed it in and wouldn't stayed turned on.  For my new phone, I've made a snazzy little cellphone cosy which has a waterproof lining and some absorbency sewn into it. It's come in handy already and saved my new phone from getting mysteriously wet, this time just the cosy paid a visit to the hotwater cupboard!
