Oopsie - I kinda lost last week didn't I? In more ways than one! I don't know where my time is going. I seem to swing between bouts of extreme exhaustion/achiness and extreme creativity frenzy. I reckon my first positive should be that my mojo is indeed back and I am getting those (admittedly short) bouts of creativity inbetween my long zombie moments ;) And grateful I really, really am.
I've taken on board an idea I 've seen that a few of you use to write down what I have signed up to and promised people. And, although I am still behind, I'm creeping up with everything and it feels good to be getting on top of things again. I'm hoping to be well and truly ahead of myself by the time bubba comes so I can just concentrate on getting up to date with those blimming classes!
Talking of classes, I really want to do this workshop. It looks AMAZING!
However, pennies being a bit short and what with the supplies you need as well... although it's been suggested, I really can't sell the bubba to fund it! And... he really does need a pram and all the other bubby bits. But now, coming to the positive bit of this, I've been saving some money for Craig to choose what he wants for his birthday which was earlier this month. I've given up trying to just get him the perfect present so now I just hold the money back till he see's something, usually a bird, that he wants. He told me to use the money to pay for the course, which I thought was really lovely. Of course I wont do it, I'm not THAT bad but I thought it was a lovely gesture on his part. I will do the workshop, just means I'll probably do it later, after I've been driven insane with jealousy when I see what everyone else has been doing ;) But it's a lifetime workshop so I'll just sign up after bubba is here and do it then.

Talking of bubba, you might notice I've been referring to him as "he" and not "it." Yes, at the last scan we had a third person tell us he's a boy and they showed us...ahem... proof. So although there is still always that chance that three seperate scanner peeps are wrong, we are now erring on the side that we are having a little boy :)
The man doing our scan was doing all these arty farty angle shots, he got told off by his collegue in the end but I was glad in a way because we got this extreme close up of the face to take home (the eyes are in shadow if that helps you decipher it any better.) That mouthline, it's a perfect replica of my Mum's smile. I really needed to see that as was having a bad few days missing her, it really made me smile.
Craig is over the moon that a boy will be arriving. Much as he loves our three girls, I think he feels outnumbered at times. He's already planning whether Scalextrix and Meccanno are an essential baby purchase! (No, they are not!)

Various baby club freebies. You know where various supermarkets get you to sign up to their baby clubs? So far we have two full size packets of newborn nappies, assorted packets of wet wipes and cotton wool, a couple of cuddly toys and assorted nappy rash creams. All helps ;) All brings it home how fast it's creeping up too - we're over the six month mark now! Ooer! Also - Craig's mum! Charity shop (thrift shop) super star! You set her a challenge to find something and within days we get an email saying she's got it, usually in mint condition and for ridiculously bargain prices! So far she's found us a vibrating, musical baby bouncer and a sleep bag/grow bag (whatever they're called.)

Still loving the Summer of Colour challenge
and all the lovely encouraging comments from people that have been
visiting as well. I also have some Sisterhood of the Travelling
Sketchbook pages to upload, the photos are on my camera, just need to
get them to the PC!

I am positive there are many more positives in the last couple of weeks but brain is a bit cream crackered lately, I should write these down throughout the week! Hope you've had a good week.
