I have to laugh at my last effort at blogging, given that it’s nearly 2 months ago and in that I commented about time flying.... but it sure does fly, even when we aren’t having fun! I had all good intentions of trying to give more regular news updates with pics... and then work happened, interspersed with 2 weekend breaks in the berg, which was great, hence the “drought” in blogging.
Well, April 18th came and went and I eventually managed to finish at QPTS on the 25th which was fine, but before I was due to finish there, I got an urgent request from the girls in marketing at bond choice, asking if I was able to do some freelance work, mornings only, which I agreed to, knowing it would only be for 3 weeks, and which finished yesterday. All went well and while it was rather chaotic trying to fit so much into a morning, I enjoyed it, but let’s just say that I really loved having a ‘free’ day today.... doing as little as I needed to, and spending time with Jordy too. Somehow I still managed to be reasonably productive, getting things done at home. So yes, for the first time in months, I didn’t have any agenda or plans and it was wonderful! Makes me want to have more days like this! If only!?!
Of course I do have some freelance work I need to still do, but I feel more ready now to do just that. I also have Jordy’s room to decorate as he is moving out of the nursery and into his own ‘aeroplane’ themed room which should go according to plan (we hope). As you can imagine, Jordy just loves planes and copters so we thought it fitting to choose this theme. Painting and everything else like electrical work always takes a bit longer than we think as one needs to find the right colour to paint the walls etc. We had to put new ceilings in and need to recarpet the room too. We are adding more storage space in the way of drawers which he will need so that’s all happening at the moment, before we can put the finishing touches to the room.We will post pics on the blog when it’s all finsihed.... watch this space for more! We also have a few more projects on the go, at home, which Mark is supervising and producing, but the details of all this will be revealed in due course. Never mind me ‘nesting’..... Mark is doing the same!
All is going well with the pregnancy. My tummy is expanding rapidly now and I’m starting to feel heavy. I’m somewhat relieved we’ve almost reached the ‘half-way’ mark. I do get nervous when I hear doc speak of me having what he expects will be a ‘big’ baby. Jordy was 3.5kg at 38 weeks, so this baby could be rather big, as second babies often are. I’ve been given the option of trying for natural birth, if all goes well, but I’ve been warned not to rule out the caesar option if push comes to shove, (sorry, excuse the pun) so we are just going to take it one day at a time. The due date at this stage, is 22 October, but that may still change down the line. We are going to leave telling everybody the sex of the baby until birth, so we won’t be giving anything away with telling anybody what names we’ve chosen.
Jordy is well and loving school. He’s thriving on the socialising, and after being one of the shyest little kids in class in February, he is now the class clown - entertaining the other kids with his antics. He is actually so much like his grandfather.... full of nonsense, but he is spirited and we love it. I’m actually so glad to be involved with organising the class stand for the school fun day as myself and some of the other moms are organising to have a biscuit decorating stand which will be fun. The fun day is on 21 June but there’s quite a bit of preparation before hand, organising gazebo’s, signage for our stand and getting everything together, but it’s all in the name of fun.
I am pleased to report that at last i’m feeling a bit more ‘human’ after what seemed like a long slog of feeling miz during this pregnancy. The first trimester “horribles” extended into the second trimester by a few weeks but now I’m feeling better. Admittedly, I am still ready to hit the sack by 9pm every night but it’s all worth it! I had better make the most of this good spell to get as much done at home as I need to.... energy permitting!
With that, I am going to sign off for the night, since I need to cook dinner and time is ticking so I must dash, but I will post some pics soon!
I hope you are all keeping well. I’d love to hear your news, so please email me and keep in touch!
