random facts meme

So I've been tagged by Soph and Bonnie to tell you all 6 random facts about me.

1) When I was little I was an only child and I was quite bossy. I used to make all my friends sit and watch/listen to me singing into a hair brush to various 'cassettes' I had made of my favourite music.

2) I was pretty much bold and gummy until I was 13 months old! The little hair I did have was bright orange!

3) Sometimes when I walk I count the number of steps between cracks or lines in the pavements! Yes I know that is a little odd! These are random facts people!

4) I used to have physical fights with the boys who grew up on my street - one time I won! Yes I was a tom-boy!

5) I used to watch WWF (not the nature thing but the 'World Wresting Federation' how it used to be known!) with my Nan. We loved it!

6) I pee a lot! No it's not just because I am pregnant! I used to pee a lot before I was pregnant I just pee more now that I am! OK is that too much information?

Rules:

1. Link to the person who ‘tagged’ you!
2. Post the rules on your blog!
3. List 6 random facts about yourself!
4. Tag 6 people at the end of your post!
5. Let each person know they have been tagged by commenting on their blog!
6. Let the tagger know the entry is posted on your blog!

I think the people I would have tagged have already done it!

Bring on the Olympics in London 2012

I can't wait! Hope I can be home for the Olympics ;)

le bump 2 - 23 weeks

why o why......is my bump soooooo big! I know there is only one in there!

23 weeks

Remember this was me at 16 weeks - man I did a whole lotta growing in that time! Well someone did ;)

I am 23 weeks and I feel huge already. I love my bump because I know what it contains is very precious but man am I suppose to be this big? I know you are so not meant to compare yourself to other pregnant women but its hard not to when you have this very large bump in front of me.

I wonder if it's because I am eating too much (which I think I definitely am, including chips and chocolate!) but I don't seem to have put weight on anywhere else? I guess I will find out more at my 27 week appointment in 3 weeks!

Maybe those first few months of eating junk because I was so sick has caught up with me! Oopsey!

ps I better get used to it - it's only going to get bigger!

GO GREAT BRITAIN

I am so surprised and pleased that Great Britain are doing so well at the Beijing Olympics. They are 3rd on the gold medals list at the moment - just in front of the Aussies.

I do cheer on the Aussies just not when they are up against Team GB!

Let's hope they both do well over the next few days!

not so overwhelmed - thanks for your help

I just wanted to say a great big thank you (I mean a 'monster big THANKYOU) to those who wrote comments on my post below. You will be pleased to know that your advice and help has made me feel a lot less overwhelmed and a lot better equipped to go out into the big wide world of baby stores.

I actually saved a massive $220 on a cot and changer yesterday at Toys-R-Us - so I am a bit happy about that ;) We saw them on Saturday and decided to go home and check online and sure enough we found a super deal. I am so glad I have a wise husband who is patient and waits - it scored us a super saving!

Thanks again - you all rock!

overwhelming - please help!

Q. What is more overwhelming that being a first-time-parent-to-be and walking into a baby store with a thousand and one things to pick from?

A. Not much! Well at least if you are me!

Don't get me wrong I am so excited and want to buy things for our little one but man there are so many things to think about and I hardly know where to begin. Plus when you say "baby car seat" there are a kerbillion to choose from.

I know it sounds silly but it is overwhelming to me, plus I think maybe the 'nesting' hormones are kicking in to - you know like those ones that kick in right after marriage where you just want to pretty up and order your new home together? I just want to get everything together for our little one before I get big and uncomfortable!

So SP and I hadn't brought anything for little Squiggly until yesterday and only then did we buy a few little onesies and singlets. Even trying to figure out how many of these little things I would need was painful! Our little one will be born in December - super hot summer time will have just began.

Can you wonderful bloggers help? I don't know why I am stressing so much about this I just feel a little out of control and daunted!

I need some lists of essentials and approx numbers with maybe a list of things that I don't need to worry about until after the baby is born. Can you help me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee? It would be so much appreciated.

Thanks ;)
