Had our scan on friday all very quick and uneventful (had grumpy scan lady again ) saw a kidney and a heart, and told we are having a big baby which is good :) few extra stitches here and there no worries mate :)

started antinatal classes last week as well which i failed to mention, very interesting!!
after hearing horror stories from others about having a class full of pregnant 50 year olds or a class of teenagers that class smoking pot and playing PS2 there hobbie i was a tad worried that i wouldnt make any "Potential Mummy Friends" but we have 11 other couples in our class that are all fairly normal (well as normal as normal gets?) and around there 30's with first baby and know about as much as i do (ZILCH) so thats cool, I now have the potential to become one of those annoying woman who sit in coffee shops all day having coffee groups talking about cracked nipples and stitches and our snotty nosed little perfect children ha ha.
its funny seeing all the different sized woman our tummys range in size and i would say im definetly in the middle/average size so thats good, i considered taking my camera to take a photo of us all, but dont want to come across as the stalker photo taking freak in the group ha ha
oh and the fact i laughed at our teacher when she suggested we leave the placenta attached to the baby after the birth and let it fall off naturally (around 10 days) has already put me in the "loud clown" of the class catergory ,but seriously? who would want to have a plate sized liver to deal with along with a new born ewww oh and the smell after a few days ha ha

30weeks today 30years tomorro

isnt that uncanny!

nothin much happening here, will post a tumtum pic as this little chumbawumba is packing on the kgs i think he he.

i have a sore butt hips legs thighs and im tired, ah yes the joys of pregnancy oh did i mention im extremely OVER feeling like im dehydrating constantly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is the one thing i look forward to after everything not being so thirsty. i hear though that you get more thirsty when breast feeding so this could really drag out ha ha oh well to bad, im still happy as a sambo.

(for backache and saw butt and hips)i have decided straddling my chair like im riding a horse and leaning forward onto the back rest is the most comfortable way to sit at work , not the most glamorous but hey who wants to argue with the pregnant girl at the front counter with the eye twitch ha ha.

mmmmmm?

29weeks 2 days

Well after another day on my feet im resting on the couch with my banana smoothie, book and pooter. Problem is the smoothie wants to come back up now oh well thems the breaks huh :)

Well im 30 next week , havent thought much about it to be honest i pretty much have my bday present already so dont really care about anything else cant wait to start antenatal classes on Tues and we go for our 30week growth scan on friday that should be cool!! i did say to Mr Pullen that i would laugh if the sonographer turned around and said "your little boy is looking nice and healthy!!" ha ha that would be our luck and i will laugh for days then feel sory for kidlet who would know doubt spend his first few months dressed in pink ha ha.

thought i would post a couple of our fancy pants home made photos of the tum tum.

another day another dollar!

WELL 28weeks6days today time is flying by (sort of) now.

Im growing out of clothes at a quick rate and counting down work days left as well!!

My poor old million dollar cat got a urinary tract infection on the weekend so this week consists of ways of jamming pills down her throat without getting clawed or bitten. Team pullen , (me and andrew) have got it down to a fine art now so its not as stressful as it was last year when she had her $600 sporting injury (he he) and we had to have a bottle of wine to drink after each pill popping attempt.he he. we decided it was all training for a baby as im sure things like this happen alot

Mr Pullen has successfully given up smoking for 13 solid days now we are so proud of him and i think he is quite proud of himself as well :) the puking episode on new years day had nothing to do with it though he he.

We took some special tummy photos the other day just in case the baby bump goes bright purple with stretch marks in the next 11 weeks and i think to myself DAM i shouldve taken some photos when the bump looked nice :) poor andrew got barked at a bit as grumpy emotional pregnant witch could not explain herself properly and how the photos were to look he he.

Stay tuned for special bump photo to be posted soon.

beached whale papamoa!!!!

here is my 28 week photo :) its funny you feel so big and then i look at some girls around the 38 week mark and think holy crap i am going to be huge!! awesome!!!

oh and this photo below here is my position last weekend , now i dont last too long as i dont want to burn my bump but its nice to feel weightless for a bit.

nothing much else to report really, blossom puff has stopped kicking me so much and now i get some good nudges here and there and slow movements but thats about it really i think she may be chunking up and running out of room to boot her mumma. Midwife app next monday cant wait :) she can tell me which position blossom is in its so cool!!

NEW YEAR!

here is a photo of the tum tum with little blossom inside at 27weeks and 3 days :)
my little honey pie feels like she is growing so fast and im finding it hard to sleep at night grrrrrrr i think the 29 degree heat wave we had the other day didnt help !!!





















OH AND EXCUSE THE LACK OF UNDERWEAR HE HE HE HE MUCH COMFORTABLE BEING FREE AND EASY


bought a paddling pool that has been a god send so the whale out of water has now found her water ha ha.
enjoyed new years, went to pub and headed home at ten thirty as had a headache, left the old boy there to party the night away and my GF anna came home with me to drink cups of tea and play with baby clothes she passed out at 11.30 and i kept playing with baby clothes it was like xmas all over again he he loving it!!!

old mr pullen spent new years day puking and vowing to quit drinking and smoking he he i secretly had hoped something like this would happen :) now that it is the rd of jan he stuck tightly to his vow but i think the head cold he has developed has helped a bit ha ha i think the not drinking part wont last long but i think the 36 years has finally caught up witht he old boy he he.
anyway back to watching movies, eating and watching my tummy morph into diferent shapes yeee haaw
