Random Update

Well... I've been so good about updating my baby blog, and totally ignoring this one! Well not totally, but certainly my baby blog has had more posts recently.

So, I have pfficially handed in my resignation at work! I only have till March 20th now! (6 weeks basically) and I am counting the days till I have some time to myself. Mostly to potter around and prepare for bubs, but I think I will spend the first week totally vegging out and sleeping.

Oh, speaking of vegging, that reminds me of my soup... better yank the pot out of the freezer and defrost it so I can freeze it in more manageable portions... brb

So yeah, I made a giant pot of soup on the weekend, intending to freeze it in plastic containers for winter so that I don't have to cook after looking after a screaming baby all day, and so I stop spending money on take away. However I didn't have the plastic containers! (I have bought like 20 since we moved in and I have already lost/broken/thrown out all of them. )

Thus, needing to put the soup somewhere it wouldn't go off, I had to freeze it, but lacking containers, I put the whole pot in the freezer. Yeah, freezing 5litres of soup in a solid block is smart! Now, I have a rock solid lump on the stove slowly defrosting.

Oh, also we currently have no washing machine! There was one that the last tenants left which worked when we moved in, so we didn't bother buying one right away, but now it's kicked the bucket. At least I'll get a nice shiny washer/dryer unit to replace it at some point though! Washing clothes in the laundry trough sucks ass though. It's not that we can't afford it, we just really haven't had much time or have been too tired lately to go looking for a new one. But with the rain being what it is, and running rapidly out of things to wear I'm really pushing to get one this weekend.

Hmm... I'm sure I actually meant to post something here when I started this, as in something of relevance, but I have totally forgotten what it was! I've told you my work news, which is pretty big really, and I am quite exciting about it, but I can't help but think that there was something else I wanted to share. Gah... forgive me guys, I am pregnant!

Just checked the soup again, the pot is still cold! This is going to take quite some time. I think I will have a shower and leave it for a while. Who knows, I might remember what it was I wanted to share, and two posts in one day would be nothing short of a record for me!

Baby bump pic!

Well, would you look at that! Miranda isn't freaking skinny anymore! Thanks to Cherie for taking a pic of the bump for me :)

Well, the long weekend was good. Went to my aunties, and obtained some baby gear, we need to get the bassinette and cot down though, and they don't fit in the Skyline... but I can't wait to have lots of little bitty things hanging around!

Oh, I don't know if I mentioned, but I also got one of the appliances I have long dreamt of... a chest freezer! Sounds corny and shit yeah, but if you know how much I cook, you'll understand! Plus living as close to some great markets as I do, the urge to buy copious amounts of cheap meat is overwhelming, and now if I do succumb, I can actually freeze it instead of having it all go off!

Oh, and in other news, I am officially resigning from work as of March 20! How can this suck and rock at the same time? So I have 7 weeks of work left, I am already counting the days!

Bonus, I just found half a pack of M&Ms I thought I'd finished earlier this evening! My world just got even better. Combine that with listening to MeatLoaf, and knowing it's the weekend, I am very content!

I'm sure there's something else I meant to share, but for the life of me I can't remember, pregnancy brain is a frustrating condition!

Have a good weekend though folks!

Miranda xoxo
