Phone reformat

I picked my phone up from 3 today. Had to get it reformatted as it was playing up badly. Sorry to all of you who's calls and messages were missed in the times over the last few months where my mobile would just black out, make no noise and display the screen in short flashes usually upside down... At this stage the reformat seems to have worked but I'm not holding my breath.

Second Antenatal Class & Nappy Folding

Bit of hands on tonight. Baby wrapping, bathing and nappy changing. Was the only one in the room who indicated they were interested in using cloth nappies. They very briefly showed two ways to fold a nappy. The internet appears to be a much better source for this tho. Check out some of these diagrams!

Amicus Xmas Weekend

Amicus Insurance Services and Amicus Financial Group had a Xmas weekend away up the coast at Twin Waters Resort. Flash huh! It was a special 5 year celebration. A lovely Friday night dinner at the Naked Italian was followed by a relaxing day of sun and sand. Brian and Andrew went out for a burl on some jet skis. Reg and I were very jealous! Saturday night was the full xmas dinner on the beach by the lake in the resort - absolutely lovely! Thanks Jim for organising all that. We canoed and sailed catamarans on the lake on Sunday morning, had a bbq lunch at Brian and Carly's with Carly's parents; Lynn & Denis, walked along the beach in the afternoon and constructed a feat of engineering made of sand! The massive storm that hit Brisbane that evening was absolutely spectacular to watch while sipping cocktails/mocktails at the bar.

Antenatal Classes Begin

Our first antenatal class was on last night. We left the place feeling significantly scared by the processes of labour and parenthood. We heard about all the different forms of pain relief and all the options at the birth. A bit overwhelming!

Dinner Out

We enjoyed our first dinner out at a local thai place with Mike, Trin and Jason. Quite good, a bit like the Newtown thai that I really miss! Ohhhh for a Newtown Thai 2 pad kee mao!

Obs Appoint #5

Appointments are now 2 weeks apart. Thanks once again, medicare safety net! Everything normal.

Briggsy came around for dinner. We had home made pizzas and stayed up late to finish our jigsaw puzzle.

Gardening

We're a bit limited in what we're allowed to plant in the garden so we decided just to stick with pot plants. Em went a bit nuts today potting up herbs and some decorative plants. It's good to keep busy at the moment.
