Well i was getting sick of my own blog - only have one comp working and as Brad uses it pretty much 22 hours a day my time is limited - since i last blogged I turned 31! our pregnancy is going great - baby is great. Above is out first real auction bids - we went out on Mothers day and loved it - although we could barely understand what was going on we managed to come home with a few great peices for pennies on the dollar. I went to my first American bridal shower which was so beautiful - and most everyone wanted to know if i would be having a baby shower - as i already have one child I said no - but am happy to report I will be having a sip and see (kind of a southern thing) where people can come and hang out and actually see the baby a few weeks after we are home - I do plan to register for this as by then i will know what I am missing/need and also we pretty much left every item of anything baby related in Australia and I am sure most everyone understands this so wont be offended by the Registery - i hope - i am new at the registery thing. I am already looking forward to the sip and see which is months away - also my mum will be here then and I know she would want to be invloved in any baby shower type thing as she also missed out on J's baby shower as we were in Tassie.

The biggest news of the week is J pooped on the toilet - i was thinking a small ball of poop would come out - but no it was a giagantic crap bigger than most of mine! I swear it was half the leangth of him and Brad was truley amazed - because of course we had to show daddy our first poop in the toilet. I am very proud of my big boy - who is also 4 days without any major accidents at school or home and is wearing underwear all day - even at nap he is waking up dry and making it to the toilet on time. I am sure we will still have set backs - but once summer is over so should the nappies be - just in time for number 2 to start all again.

Oh for my actual birthday Brad had planned a suprise trip to San Fran - which we did not go to as I accepted a late invitation to Disney on ice with Bob and Vicki and Sharon, Matt and all the kids - i didn't want J to not get to enjoy time with his cousins just cause it was my birthday. It wasn't the dream weekend getaway in San Fran that Brad had planned - but we are heading out there soon for a week to enjoy some sun and summer fun with Allen and Angie for Ashlyn's birthday and plan to make up for the missed weekend then - ie - Allen and Angie will be babysitting a night so we can soak up the amazing west coast vibe. (hope this will be o.k Angie!! :)
I did however get a beautiful cake made by Nee Nee - and J absolutly thought it was great and still remembers the grass around the ladybug as we were just looking at carpet in lowes today and he pointed out green ladybug grass.
He is obsessed with finding ladybugs in the yard and Brad has taught him to blow them and then he will chase them - somehow find the same one and start the game all over again.
Cheers!
