Look What We've Been Up To!

Thought i'd better update my blog. We have been so busy over the last two weeks. Here's what we've been up to.....

Max has been so busy with his Play Dough octopus



.....and Fuzzy Felts

I've been knitting girly stuff!!

We've had to have the septic tank emptied euwwww! I always hide when they come cos i don't want to talk to people who suck all our *pulls face* poop up and take it away on their lorry!!!

Daniel's made a brilliant window frame at college.

We have redecorated our bedroom. This included laying a new floor, buying a double sliding wardrobe, bed frame, two chests of drawers, curtains and duvet sets. Poor Nik's still in shock over how much it all cost him LOL!

We've tiled the kitchen but it still needs grouting.

and finally....we've decorated the living room and bought some new furniture!!! Not a bad job for two weeks! Nik's turned into Cooperman!!

My baby, Week 22

Developement of a 22 week baby (Taken from Welcome baby Home Pregnancy Calendar)

Your baby now weighs about 12 oz (350g) and is over 7 inches long (19cm). Baby continues to grow, eyelids and eyebrows are developed, and nails are also visible. The amniotic fluid is replenished on a daily basis; in fact about a third of the fluid is exchanged every hour. Your baby swallows the fluid and some of this fluid is absorbed back into your body via the umbilical cord and placenta. The rest is simply urinated back into the amniotic fluid. Baby uses its 'bathwater' as its drinking water (EUW!). While some of its nutrients are provided by the amniotic fluid, bulk of the nutrients comes from the placenta.

How disgusting is that? Bath water as drinking water? Just disgustable!

I don't know if this will work but if you go to this............

There is a moving scan picture of a 22 week baby, so she should look something like that at the moment (hopefully, minus the testicles that are clearly visable on this little boy though) LOL

Wallace and Gromit Ice Lollies

I forgot to mention yesterday, that in our lovely parcel from Vanda there were also some Wallace and Gromit ice lolly moulds. We made some apple juice ones straight away but because i put them in the freezer i forgot about them in my blog. So, this morning Max looked in the freezer and look what he found.....

Mmmm..... delicious Gromit ice lollies! Thank you Vanda & Andrew :O)

Stop Bugging Me!

GrannyPants came up to see us yesterday and bought Max a present, It was an insect sticker book!!! We had loads of fun with it. Have a look...............

Max Grows a mustache

Nik's caterpillar eyebrows

Watch out Max!

There's a big hairy spider on your nose!

Muahhhhhhhhhhhhh
Thanks for my present GrannyPants!

The postman came today and bought us a parcel, It was from my bestest friend in the whole world, Vanda! It had some Mr Men cookie cutters and three beautiful pink babygrows in it. Thank you so much for thinking about us :O) So we put them straight to use in the kitchen. Here are some photos of Max making ginger Mr Men.

This one looks a bit camp LOL

Look at the concentration

The finished result, and Mmmm......they're delicious!

Here is a photo of the beautiful babygrows, aren't they just lovely, Thank you very much :O)

Ok, i'm off to have a shower. Bye for now *waves*

We went out to the P&D Dinner & Dance on Saturday, here are the photos we took before we left the house. Who's tummy do you thinks the biggest? LOL

Computer stress!

My Birthday

It was my birthday yesterday, and i had some lovely things. Mark & Beverley gave me some beautiful flowers. Vanda, Andrew and the girls bought me a baby names book and a gorgeous necklace (Thankyou Vanda :O) and Nik bought me 2 x 2gb memory cards for my camera, the Rhianna cd, some berry body scrub and body butter (it smells nice enough to eat) and has paid for the police records for my great grandfathers brother, Agur Abner Hndley (he was a policeman not a criminal, before you ask LOL). Here are photos of some of them.

Ok, i'm off to get ready now cos we are off out tonight. Its the Peak and Dukeries Annual Dinner (Landrover club do) so i've got to try and make myself look beautiful (argh!) I'll probably look like a well dressed whale! Nik on the other hand, always looks fantastic when he's wearing a suit.

Bye for now *waves*

Nik's Been A Busy Bee!

Nik has been a busy bee over the last two days and has put the laminate floor down in Jakes old room and helped me move Jake's bedroom furniture from his old room to the back bedroom. Now Max and the new baby can share the larger front bedroom. Here is the result of all his hard work.











Its looking really good now but, needs a colour change. Its our bedroom next and i'm hoping to get him started on it next week so, that by next weekend we can go to Ikea and buy our new bedroom furniture, Yeay!

One last pink thing LOL before i go to bed :O)
