Curtain making and Car washing



Elaine came to stay for a few days. Erin was also in town for a couple of days and Brian and Carly came down to visit. Big family get together! We made new curtains for the bedrooms (blue for us and little bears for bub) as the ones that the landlord left us let heaps of light in. We've now got ones with blockout backing so we are sleeping much better. Thanks for all your help mum! Thanks to Linda for letting me use her sewing machine and to Erin and Carly who helped out too.
The boys kept busy washing the cars and playing Wii! We had a nice dinner with all the Goldstivers + Elaine and Carly and of course, shared a bottle of Grange as Rob always insists we do when we all get together.

Baby shopping

The Grandma's, Erin and Carly all came baby shopping with me today. We hit one store in Aspley and just bought up big. Thanks grandparents for footing the bill. :) We now have a cot, change table, pram and a car seat to hopefully be picked up on Dec 10.

Obs Appoint #4

Another obstetrician appointment. Turned up an hour early - I blame google calendar for changing my appointments with daylight savings, or perhaps it's pregnant brain.
Dr Titiz saw me early anyway so he'd have a guinea pig to practice his new ultrasound machine on. Everything looks normal but certain bits were hard to locate... :)

Tash's Baby Shower

Went to Tash's baby shower. Was great to see her and Mark. Both are looking so well. We played baby games and had fun. The food was super tasty too.

Robyn


Robyn came to stay for the weekend. We enjoyed some tasty morsels at the Redcliffe Seafood Festival on Saturday despite the gloomy weather. Salmon works really well on skewers on the BBQ! Watched a great tempanyaki display too and of course got to enjoy all the food. Ended the festival by watching piglets race around an obstacle course - bizarre. Ended the day with ten-pin bowling, a movie and a burger. Sunday was my first baby shopping experience. Robyn and I checked out Babies Galore and was amazed at how much everything costs and how much stuff is out there! Went up Mt Cootha for afternoon tea while Andrew played frisbee. In the evening took Robyn on a foot tour of some of the Brisbane river - Botanical gardens and South Bank. Thanks for coming to stay Robyn and thanks again for the present! Once again, we forgot to take the camera so don't have any pics. :( I promise to get better with this.

Brisbane Air Show











Spent most of the day with ear plugs in today! The air show was pretty cool with lots of aerobatic flying and really fast (and noisy) planes like the F1-11. I'm not convinced that Reg's earplug worked properly.
