just wanted to say a quick congrats to andrea for scoring her swanky new job. will post more later

This is the first time ive been able to get onto the computer since Taylor was born, only cos she slept really well last night (for the first time) and therefore so did i!!! so shes sleeping now and i am actually awake enough to do something other than sit on the couch with my fat puffy feet up like a retard.

so the birth was horrible and i dont recommend anyone try it. if you absolutely have to, i definately recommend a planned ceasarean, so u dont have to go through the labour pains. recovering from it is a teeny bit longer and tougher but its a small price to pay for an easy, pain-free birth. while dispensing this advice, i realise that no one here is going to get pregnant anytime soon anyway so ill move on...

thanks to all you guys for visiting us and for all the presents, esp andrea, those magazines were great but im finding it hard to get the time to read them now! which is ok i guess, just means i need less to entertain me :D come over next time youre not working and have a read of them!!! anyway, they entertained my cousins while they were over here last.

my cousin had her year 12 ball last night. i remember our ball and it seems like a lifetime ago. she came over and i did her hair and i was watching her do her makeup and everything, stressing over getting everything perfect and it brought back memories of a time when i did all that stuff, and it was so important to look good when we went clubbbing that i spent hours thinking about what to wear and taking ages doing my makeup and hair. at the time it was all i did, but now it all seems so unimportant.

i cant believe adams leaving!! we'll miss you so much, even though we dont get the time to get together that often anymore, when we do, we'll definately notice your absentness! i wish we could come visit you in japan sometime during the year but these days im lucky if i can find the energy to roll out of bed and get to the bathroom. i hope you enjoy it over there, as soon as you get settled in, make sure we have a way of contacting you, like email or msn or post heaps to LJ or something - its so easy to lose touch, even while we're in the same state, let alone o/seas. when you get back we will have a huge catch up. by the time you're back, Taylor might be able to say "uncle Adam", who knows!!

ahh, everythings changing.

also sorry i missed Nuds going away drinks. we went to luxe bar after 8pm(running later from daryns dentist appointment of course) which was apparently NOT where it was being held. we rang around to see where it actually was taking place but no one answered their phones. we figured that everyone was already drunk and made our way home, planning on feigning our attendance in the likelihood that no one would remember whether we were or werent there... ooooh i mean... great night guys, was the best night out ever, glad we could have been there to share it with yas
S2 cammie and daryn :P

Hey guys,

Sorry i missed dinner last night. I was marooned at my mum's house sans a car and i didnt want to inconvenience anyone, since im on no one's way to the city. Anyway, its probably best i stop eating so much. haha!

Cant wait to see you guys tomorrow night at Nudie's going away, only wished that she WASNT going away and we were just having a catch up session :( daryn has a dentist appointment at 6.50pm just before Nuds thing, so i hope that doesnt drag on too long.

actually, its quite funny cos i was pretty non-sympathetic about his wisdom teeth pain a month or two ago, and last weekend i had teeth pain myself. sure i didnt whinge quite so much as he did. its gone away now, so i think it might have just been an earache, but nevertheless, karma finds its way to get back to you.

when i went to the hospital for a checkup last, they said i might have gestational diabetes, which meant i wouldnt be able to eat (until the babys born) sugary stuff, like chocolate and icecream, or carbs cos they contain sugars that your body cant break down if you dont produce enough insulin. blah blah, i was on the verge of losing my two main food groups, junk food and carbs. but luckily for me they said i didnt have it, so its back to starbursts and italian food for me. i never really appreciated my body's insulin producing ability's until now. You should all thank your bodies for functioning properly too. having poor health, or even a health condition that needs managing is such a pain.

On the baby front, we have pretty much got everything we need. My aunty whos due one month before me already knows shes having a girl. i wish i knew, so that my kid wont have to wear predominantly white, lemon yellow and lime green for the first few months of its life. my mums bought a lot of pink stuff under the excuse that it can be kept and used for the second child if the first is a boy. but i doubt whether or not id want to do this whole process all over again. im starting to wish i WAS having twins. anyway, i maintain that i already have one kid at home, his name being daryn. he surely fits the requirements of being a child, having to be told when to go to bed at night, having to be pried out of bed in the morning, having to be restrained from putting unnecessary items in the shopping trolley at the local supermarket.. but at least he brushes his teeth without being told.

hey guys

we went to the hospital and they said it was "80% chance its a girl". i dont get it, its either a girl or a boy, theres no percentages!

=(

Hey hey hey, three posts in one day, its like a record.

im thinking of creating a new live journal account for the baby, but i have to wait to find out if its a girl or a boy, cos otherwise i wont know what username to use. we get to find out its gender this monday, less than a week. im going to go baby clothes shopping straight after i find out =D

thats the only thought i have. goodnight!

Welcome to LJ Denny!

CC says i must post, so post i must!

just in case anyone is wondering: being pregnant sucks. i dont even like the word 'pregnant'. its all full of blah blah blah, drinking milk is good for the baby, eating meats and vegetables is good for the baby... well im sorry but drinking cordial and eating HJ's is best for ME. i never realised how unhealthy i am. i eat lots of crap food and not enough good food and i only eat when its convenient (i.e. not breakfast cos that means i have to wake up an extra 15 minutes earlier). but i do feel bad for being so unhealthy. like the other day i drank a litre of high calcium low fat low cholestrol milk, since i havent drank milk since i was four, i figured that would even the scales. but then i felt sick. guess cordial IS better for me than milk.

furthermore, i cant do half the stuff i could before. cant go to sizzler, cant eat jesters pies, cant dance half as well, cant walk up a flight of stairs without developing a stitch in the gut, etc. i will be glad once this whole thing is over.

another thing that sucks is living by ourselves. i really did take for granted all the stuff my mum did around the house and all the things my dad paid for. i always thought my mum got off easy, cos she didnt HAVE to do housework, and it seemed as if she pretty much didnt have anything else to do anyway. boy i was wrong. you HAVE to do housework, or the house falls apart and/or vermins come to stay. and let me tell you, im only working 2 days a week at the moment, and those five other days that i stay home, i have a hundred and one things better to do with my time, like snooze on the couch, watch foxtel or play the sims 2. but no. there is alwaysss something to do. wash dirty dishes, wash smelly clothes, feed the birds, feed daryn, blah blah. id rather not. did i sign up for this??? i used to think people who hired maids to clean their house were lazy and inept. now i understand. cos i am also lazy and inept. we just dont earn enough to hire help.

and also, ive realised that theres a whole HEAP of stuff i dont know! like what softener is for and how to work our reticulation system, not to mention a lawn mower, how to change light bulbs, the lifespan of a tomato in the fridge, the list goes on.

but there are the good things, of course. like i get to see daryn everyday. i guess that makes it all worth it.

Hey guys, (i always have to start my entries like that cos i just dont know any other way to without sounding corny)

soo, things are pretty quiet on my front. working away, although i think ive taken 5 sick days in the last 2 weeks. Daryns got wisdom teeth coming through and he cries like a baby. ive never had teeth problems but i hear they hurt. still, what can i do about it, im no dentist. i have to wake up every 3 hours during the night or so to act concerned and/or sympathetic about his pain. on the bright side, it is good practice for when the baby comes. or should i say, when the SECOND baby comes (Daryn being the first... haha... okay lame-o. whatever)

im finishing work end of next week "officially", but for the next month after that im going to work 2 days a week.

i never knew how many horrible side effects being pregnant entails.. i wont bore/gross you with details, but wow, its harder than just having to buy big tops and fat pants. i recommend adoption. sure.. conceiving is much cheaper than buying a baby, but whats the REAL cost?

though it is pretty cool seeing the baby at the ultrasound. we've had two so far, and in two weeks the baby grew 2 cms. an amazing feat! at the second ultrasound it was in a deep sleep and the nurse said it was normal for babys at this stage to go into a deep sleep and wake up for a short period of time and sleep again, but if you ask me, i think its just taken after its father.

the only big thing we've got so far for the baby is a car seat (booooorrring but essential), which my mums buying us. ive got lots of clothes for it, but limited to pale green, lemon yellow and white until we know the gender. im crossing my fingers for a girl, but i have a feeling its going to be a boy, just to spite me.

our new house is going okay, daryns step mum is staying there a while. shes nice enough i guess, but she riled me up the wrong way the other day when i told her i was finishing work end of this month and she was like "when" to which i repeated myself, only for her to exclaim "when!" yet again. i dont judge her or anyone else for working instead of looking after their kids just because its not in line with my beliefs. if she doesnt like it, she can stick it. theres a difference between offering and forcing your opinion onto someone.

just because im young(er) than the social norm that have children doesnt mean im any stupider. everyone has to do something for a first time. having a kid is no less a suprise/confrontation at 30 than it is at 20. its not like you spend those extra 10 years in preparation and even if, how do you prepare for something totally unknown.

okay im over it now. we cant wait for the baby to hurry up and get born. me and daryn are just sitting around watching the clock go tick

big ups to CC for planning a big day at the raceway!

HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY CC!!!

hey guys

I sooooo wish that i could eat Sizzler food, because i'd eat them out of business. blah blah blah, food has to be freshly cooked :< rubbish. my mum ate all sorts of stuff in an asian country (*dodgy, dodgy*) when she was pregnant with me and look how i turned out!!!
... riiiight so i think ill stick to the freshly cooked, hygenic stuff :/

Im eating all the time and im still hungry. the baby is probably already fat. I can see myself getting reprimanded already. ("but the BABY wanted that family size pack of M&Ms, i tried to stop it but it got the better of me").

meanwhile, i need to pee like 5 times a day at work. its getting embarrassing really. the people in my building level must think im bulimic or a druggie. after my 3rd trip to the toilet they start to stare. i should shout out "carry on with your work people, nothing to see here".

Nud has organised me a hens night. im so excited. we're vegging out on andreas plushy couches and eating pizza and icecream and watching disney movies (baby's request).

We are still having dinner this sunday night at the restaurant. Keep it open.

Hey guys,

I went to the Baby Expo yesterday. picked myself up a fair few freebies!!! my mum counted 31 free nappies. Daryn came also and played the part of personal bag-carrier. He did well, didnt hear him whinge once in the whole four hours we spent there. i think the idea of having a baby is growing on him.

We have our first ultrasound this saturday. unfortunately we cant tell yet whether its a boy or a girl but my mum did this ultra super reliable test which involved a ring and a piece of my hair which said im having a girl. odds are good!

on a non-baby topic, lets go to dinner this sunday at our restaurant. mmm im hungry already....

Can someone else post in LJ so that i can read something during my lunch break when i get bored.
is that sad??

Oh yeah, and we're also getting married. minor details.

Guys.. dinner is so definately on this Sunday. You know where!! 7pm, see you all there =D

lets go to dinner again soon! =D

Second day of work... just like the first except my feet are a little sorer and im a little tireder! let me just say.. working in the city is crap! sure theres plenty of great food, shopping and eyecandy available, but it sucks not being able to drive there. which might actually be a blessing in disguise... if i had to drive in & out of the city in peak hour traffic twice a day, id probably develop high blood pressure from all the stress.
