What is it about Saturdays

that inspires people to go and mow the grass? That's all we seem to have heard all morning is other people's lawn mowers. It's not that I object to them doing it but it's hot in here because we had to close the windows because the grass was making me and Lukas sneeze so much. Hopefully they will be done soon and I can reopen both the windows. While I have been sat here I was inspired to do a little bit of shopping for the baby, just some basic essentials in white. Fingers crossed I can place a second order with some colour in it after my scan in Monday lol, they have the cutest little pink dress that I have fallen in love with and can't wait to buy. Yesterday I managed to get one layout finished that I started the othr day and another one started that I finished off this morning. It feels good to have done some scrapping again and I am hoping that maybe I will get a layout done today as well. Lukas is playing games on the laptop and Mark has just left for work. We are looking forward to tomorrow because it's Mark's day off. Even though he will probably spend the whole day watching pot it's nice when he's around, me and Lukas miss him when he is at work. I have to admit the main reason I look forward to him being home is being able to go to bed whenever I want and not having to wait up until 12:30-1am for him to get home. Sundays are also great because there's no obnoxious postman banging on the door waking me up like he did this morning. He did have a small parcel I have been waiting for but I still don't think it was necessary for him to knock so loud or so many times. Anyway I suppose I better show you those layouts and then go and get caught up on some other bits and pieces I have to do. The first one started out being for a challenge at Sweet Shoppe Designs but I didn't get it finished in time so it ended up being just a pregnancy related layout.

Journalling reads: As someone who has spent almost my entire life hating my body and feeling fat, I never thought I would see the day where I was pleased that none of my clothes were fitting properly anymore. But after two miscarriages it makes me so happy to see I am starting to look more pregnant, looking in the mirror and seeing that little bump starting to show tells me this time things are different. I can feel the baby kicking and moving around all the time and its while that’s great for me, it’s even better when other people especially Lukas and Mark have a way to see that this little one is growing and getting ready to join our little family.
