I saw this on Liz's blog and thought it looked like fun

Appetizer
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how much do you look forward to your birthday?
About a five - I can take it or leave it really probably because I prefer to give presents than to receive. Now Christmas I love.

Soup
What is one word you don’t like the sound, spelling, or meaning of?
The c word is very offensive - It's pobably the worst word in the english language.


Salad
Do you wear sunglasses when you’re outside? If so, what does your current pair look like?
I can't go outside without my sunny's. My latest pair are a pink prada pair but i'm scared of losing them - I have a terrible habit of misplacing my sunnies and they never show up again. I love this pair and don't want to have to replace them.

Main Course
If you were to write a book, to whom would you dedicate it?
My hubby - he's been trying to get me to write a book for years.

Dessert
Name a beverage that you enjoy. I really like water - it's basically all I drink. although a baileys every now and again is noice too.

Here are my two favourites from a recent session. aren't thos baby cheeks just devine. This baby made me so clucky - lucky i'm already pregnant.

Lost my Mojo

I have completely lost my scrapping mojo - I can't seem to create anything. I've even sat down a couple of times with the best intentions and I just can't put a page together. I've even stopped buying scrap supplies because I thought it was a bit rediculous to keep buying stuff that was just going to sit there and not get used. I guess it must be the pregnancy and all the stress that goes with it. But scrapping and shopping also are the two things that usually relax me and I'm doing neither. I'd like to get some things done before the baby arrives because I''l be too tired after. I'm hoping that that nesting thing will kick in soon and i'll try and use it to scrap something. My aim this year was to do a book of me and my school years album. Maybe deep down that is what's blocking my mojo, having to scrap myself.

My big baby bump

I got Ethan to take some photos of my ever expanding tummy today - I feel enormous. I have five weeks to go but the baby is already over 7lbs - he s going to be enormous. Everytime they measure him I almost don't want to know how big he is. We still haven't agreed on any names, i might wait until th emoment he is born and just say "This is his name". Hopefully Carl will be so traumatised by the event that he'll just agree. Although I won't be in any condition to argue if he doesn't agree. I'm still having weekly ultrasounds but everything is going well so far, fingers crossed. i di dhave ome terrible nightmares last night and I'm a bit shaken from them today, I think the pregnancy hormones have been sending me the most vivd dreams but these were terrible. Anyway, lucky that they were just dreams.

I had a client come over on the weekend so that I could photograph her boys and my little diva threw a massive tantum (which is so unlike her). The reason was that I wasn't taking any photos of her! So the next day i had a play with Xavier and aurora.

30 weeks

Well talk about high drama - my kids were infected with the Parvovirus a couple of months ago and they in turn infected me. Unfortunately the parvovirus or slapped cheek is very dangerous to pregnant people. Basically what happens is the antibodies that my body produces attack the baby's red blood cells and compromise them so that when he's born there is not enough red blood cells to pump oxygen around the body and the baby will go in to cardiac arrest. So this means I need to have weekly ultrasounds and the baby needs to be monitored closely and if he is becoming ill then they will give him a blood transfusion. It has all been a little stressful to say the least. On a positive note I do get to check out the baby weekly in ultrasounds and I'm beginning to see features - he's very cute but a bit of a boofer. He already weights 4lb 6o. When I asked what the average was the technician brought up a graph similar to a baby's growth chart and there was this little dot way way above the top line - basically off the chart. LOL - I have to laugh or I'll start freaking out.
