buttons

When I was little I owned a little cardigan called buttons.
It was my special friend.
When I was lonely at night i would suck my thumb and hold buttons.
It had these little buttons on it that I would rub on my upper lip.
It would calm me down.

Well...

I now have a new button.
And you can have it too.

If you look on the left side of my blog you will find a link you can copy and paste to your blog/website. Anywhere that will let you view html text.
It will link you straight here anytime you click it. Cool huh?

It looks like this



So cute so fun so easy.

Let me know if you are using my button by posting a comment.

Birthday Post

It was my birthday on Wednesday.
It was a long day.

It started with some coffee (Hot Choc for me) with some friends at 7 30.
Yes getting up at seven is early for me.
How things will change when the little one is here.

When I got home Myl had a surprise adventure for me.
We got on a bus to a mystery location.
The Registry of Births Deaths and Marriages!



While we have been married for well over a year we hadn't gotten our actual marriage certificate yet and in order to change your name you need to buy a special certificate not just the one you get on the day.
So we got it. And now I'm officially an Elton.



Then Myl took me (pregnant lady) on a wild goose walk around Chippendale/Ultimo/Glebe.
I had no idea where we were going. We turned up at the Broadway shops and I got a free Boost Juice for my birthday. We then went to the cinema and watched Tomorrow When the War Began.
It was still only 10am.



After that he took me to a surprise lunch. It was going to be Yum Cha but the picture on the front of the restaurant made me feel a little queasy so we went to Chinatown instead and had a lunch special.





After lunch we walked down to Darling Harbour and went to the Chinese Gardens. It is such a beautiful and peaceful place.
Myl made me get dressed up in these Chinese clothes and took my picture around the garden. I looked quite un-chinese but it was fun.



We walked round the harbour and saw some sweet little baby ducks then we caught the tram home.

I had a 20 min power nap before going off to nanny and then we had bible study.

It was a really nice Birthday.

The longest weekend

Wow I have not blogged since Tuesday.

Isn't it funny how time slips away when you are busy.
I have honestly not stopped doing something since Wednesday morning.
(Except this afternoon when I collapsed on the bed and slept from 2-6)

There are so many stories to tell and pictures to show including

- My birthday surprises from Wednesday
- Hot dates
- Wisdom from Womens convention
- Lovely gifts
- Baby organisation
- Four generational weekend away

and much much more.

Interested?
Stay tuned this week for all of these posts. I am much too exhausted to write tonight.

How was your weekend?

Start of Week 14

Dear little one,

Your mama has been a bit sick this week.

It has been a bit yucky but it's ok

because it's all for you.

We heard your heartbeat this week with

a stethescope. The whole family wanted

to listen. Some could hear you some couldn't.

I think I'm starting to get a little belly where 

your home is. It's a little exciting.

Keep on growing little one.

Can't wait to hold you.

love mama
