Wow what a week.  We are conducting a training course here at work this week and 4am wake ups are exhausting.  We have to try and get our work done before the training course starts so it involves starting work at 5am and both yesterday and Monday I was involved in conducting the training sessions so I wouldn't finish until 4pm.  At least today and tomorrow even though the starts are early I am not in the course so I can head off at about 2pm. Which is fantastic as the house is in dire need of a clean!

Big news is I felt the baby definitely kick yesterday. I feel flutter type movements every now and again but this was a definite two kicks.  Well two to be exact.  I had just hoped out of the shower and was applying bio-oil to my belly and it was like, Ooo, Ooo. hehe not sure what sound your making but it kinda made me jump a little. Very cool! Can't wait till I feel it more regularly!

The belly is definitely starting to expand more now.  No hiding it.  Rounded and pregnant looking.  I am off this weekend to buy maternity clothes.  Elastic pants here I come! I will definitely try to take a photo when I get home this arvo! I have been meaning to for ages but just haven't had time.  I have been getting really bad stress migraines lately too.  Its a long story but I have mentioned my parents divorce is getting ugly and unfortunately DH and I are caught up in it as our house is mortgaged to my parents. We did this so we didn't have to pay any interest on our home loan.  Problem is now we either have to get a new loan with full interest or sell.  I love the house and would love to keep it but we can't afford a full interest mortgage on a $800K home. I am happy to downsize and move but DH is really attached to the house because he has done so much work to it.  I have also done up the nursery and love it but its causing me too much stress at the moment.  I worked out with everything that we have paid off in the past 4 years because of having no interest if we got a smaller home we could do it without needing a mortgage at all.  That would be fantastic.  It wouldn't be in Brisbane though nothing really keeping us here besides my mum. I don't really want to move away from her but I would rather move somewhere smaller and friendlier.  Brisbane has just gotten to big over the past 10years and there are so many rude and ungrateful and nasty people.  Such a shame because it used to be such a nice laid back friendly place. We have considered Wagga Wagga where my DH is from but that is a massive move.  It has a university so I can definitely get a job but there is more involved.  Damn stressful stuff! I just want a simply no fuss life, why is that not possible!

I get to see peanut next week.  It was far too long to wait another 3 weeks till my morph scan so I have booked in with my OBGYN for next Wednesday! So excited! :)

Well best actually do some work! Try to post that belly pic tonight!
