28 Weeks



My baby has reached the magical mark of 28 weeks. The proportion of head to body is correct and if he were to be born now, he would be completely developed except for the extra fat that keeps him warm outside of the womb. That does not mean that all of his organs are working that well. It is also not very pleasant for him to have to trade in his warm nest for that scary incubator. He is still really small and vulnerable: he's just over a foot long (35 centimeters) and he weighs approximately 2 lbs. (900 grams). For this reason, it's better if he stays nicely in your abdomen for now so that he can grow further. although my big fat boofer is the size of a 31 week old - it's going to be a big one!!!!!!!!

My Boy


I really can't take a bad piture of this boy, he just looks at me and I snap, he is so photogenic.

Week 28

Well only twelve weeks to go and I must admit that I have total placenta brain. If I'm making no sense this is my excuse. I feel so dumb and my brain is constantly foggy. there was a reason for this post but it has totally gone out of my head.

Miss Aurora


I swear that this girl is so easy to photograph, I've still bee playing with my lights and I quite like the effect of this one. She is very shinny though.LOL

The Kids



I've been playing with my new studio lights and I took these photos of the kids the other day. The one with Xavier and Aurora is very cute but Ethan looks a bit funny in the phoo of the three of them.

The lovely Taylah

I'm Back

Talk about drama in my life lately. Our move went smoothly but we had huge prblems getting our phone and internet on. I lived without the phone for 5 weeks and without the internet for 8 weeks. The joys of living in the country and having to wait for people to hook us up. i've also had some pregnancy issues - I had high blood pressure (180 over 100) and had to be monitored - I think it was the stress of the move. Last week my kids all got sick with the parvovirus (slapped cheek) and a note was sent home from school stating that it is dangerous for pregnant women to be exposed to he parvovirus so i went to the doc's and had blood tests last week. when i called for the results this week I was told that i would have to come in fo rthe results - great! I'll find out tomorrow morning what's happening. The Parvovirus can cause some pretty serious side effects for a featus. i'm also still vomiting most mornings and can't eat after about 4pm. So the joys of pregnancy. But enough of my grumbling. I'm trying to get some layouts together to enter the For Keeps Awards for Excellence - I toy with the idea of entering every year and never get organised. I'm only enetering the awards section not the elite team section - I'm not kidding myself completly. LOL.
