So I figured how to use Franks camera! Yay!!
This is Bessies' new collar, maybe it would be best that this baby WASN'T a girl! Can you get newborn size Tiara's??!!
Hi Folks! As the title suggests, I have lost my Mojo! Sewing terms that is! Have had no inclination at all to pick up the needle lately, I go through phases like this all the time, Have a good sewing spurt then totally can't stand it for a while, Just one of my funny quirks!
Instead of beating myself up over it, or trying to get a project out when I'm not in the mood or just plain too tired, have decided to stick to doing little quick things for the time being, just to keep my hand in so to speak.
So cards and bookmarks here we come! Handy that I can stock up on these for future Birthdays, as come October, I doubt I'll be having much time for stitching!
So heres what I did today.....
Its my Friends' Birthday in September and she's a bookworm just like me, and she appreciates my handmade bookmarks, so getting started early!
Unfortunatly my trusty camera has finally decided to die on me! Its' hit and miss whether it actually turns on at all now, and also the auto focus has gone it it altogether. I seem to be able to take very close up pictures like those above, but anything further away is totally blurred, like I've smeared vasaline all over the lens. I'm usually clicking aay like mad so its' like my arm has been cut off, being without a camera!
Will have to see if I can figure out how to use Franks.
All is going well here, Ryan was awarded Student of the week on Friday for his written work being to year 6 standard (He's in year 3) so proud as punch of him!
Baby wise I'm now 22 weeks along and getting kicked to blazes! Someone has DEFINITLY found out how to use their legs!
So cute though and I'm loving that feeling!
Its a relief to be past the halfway stage, feeling fit and well and (fingers crossed) no problems! Also have had my weight checked, and despite having quite a bump now, have only put on 1 lb since Februaury when we very first found out I was just 3 weeks pregnant! And I'm craving melon! All shapes and sizes! Weird huh! At least its' a healthy craving, and not like my cousin who ate Jars and Jars of Vaseline!! EEWWWWWWWW!!
Hope all you Dads out there are enjoying Fathers Day! And Happy Fathers day to Frank who is the best Dad in the World, hey I'm biased I know!
Lots of Love
Wendy...x.. ( & Jellybean )
Saw this yesterday and just couldn't resist! I'm still too scared to be buying pink yet!
Have cleared babies wardrobe all ready and have made space for the cot, also bought a dining table and chairs today and we're generally just having a good old sort and clear out. Have visited the tip 3 times in 2 days so far!! Does the soul good to have a good sort out :-)
21 weeks tomorrow!
Is what Ryan said upon seeing the scan picture!
And yep she certainly looks like a skeleton! If you look where the head is there is a large forhead bit then eyes, nose and mouth.The legs were bent and knees up by the abdomen.
Hope you can see OK! Did my best to label.
Well not 100% sure but had a wonderful 20 week scan!
Baby was unbelievably wriggly!!! BUT The sonographer saw no boy bits at all and did see the tell tale " 3 white lines" albeit faint ones so she said we were looking at probably a female feotus!!! YAY!!! Team pink!!
I really really wanted a girl this time round so am thrilled although not being 100% I doubt I'll be buying any pink just yet!
I have another scan at 34 weeks so will have to wait and see what happens then, although they don't look to sex the baby at the 34 weeks scan routinely. But if its obvious....
We saw babys face so clearly this time and everything is just perfect! at the moment I'm more on a high about the actual scan itself than the gender!
Just made up that all is well and I defo have a Jumping bean rather than a Jellybean!!
A thrilled and Giddy

18 weeks 
Today! 19 weeks 3 days ( yes that is my nightie!! Its 6.45am!) 
Nealy halfway there!! Woo hoo!! By my dates I'm 20 weeks tomorrow, by the last scan prediction I'm 20 weeks on Sunday so a big relief to get to the halfway mark!
Am definitly feeling (and looking!) like a baby is in there now.
All is going well in my pregnancy, Feeling quite good, although I've put on 8lbs :-( Need to be careful not to gain too much weight with being overweight already :-(
But we're fine, I'm now feeling little kicks, just gentle ones like being gently flicked from inside my tummy, I just love it! Next Tuesday we have our 20 week scan, and are able to find out whether Jellybean is pink or blue (if he/she is lying in the right position!) I'm so excited!
Have also made a few purchases, I don't want to go too mad just yet until we know the gender.
So far we have got...
An Avent microwave sterliser
4 Moses basket sheets
Full Graco travel system inc. Stroller, Carseat, carseat base, cosytoes, winter apron for stroller, changing bag and raincover.
Its been great having a fiddle with the stroller and carseat, just made it all more real! And Ryan has loved pushing it up and down the living room! Its up in our attic room just now out of the way, but I just love it!Not a trendy brightly coloured 3 wheeler, but much more me! We had a graco stroller for Ryan so I trust the brand and find it easy to use. ( Was also a bargain off ebay!)
Roll on Tuesday......................
...xx....xx....
Yes I'm still alive!!!
Ryan is off for 2 weeks half term at the moment and I've been out every day keeping him amused, This then results in me being shattered with attractive elephant ankles in the evenings!!
But hey what FANTASTIC weather we are having!!!! what a shame its forecast to take a turn for the worse from today :-( Oh well I'm still grateful for all the lovely sun!
We have had some smashing days out, our best being "Gullivers World" which is a theme park designed for younger kids. Frank gets to ride the rollercoasters and scarier rides with Ryan, while I get to do the Teacups and all the spinning rides which I like :-) ( Frank can't even LOOK at a waltzer without feeling sick!!)
We've also been to our fave Country Park in Eastham, Liverpools' Annual Military show, Sefton Park, Derby park and Rhyl. Unfortunatly my camera is playing up so I haven't got many pics to share. It was bleeping at me with a "lens cover on" error message for about 1 week, and now its letting me take pics but they are all blurry GRRRRRR!!!!! Mind you, I have had it for about 10 years!!
Here are the boys ( Ryan and his Friend Liam) returning from the Military show.Liam lives at the end of our Road and is Ryans regular playmate. They had been doing assault courses with the Royal Marines! ( Ryan is in the hat!)
