Benchmark Rings

I thought that benchmark rings marked an occasion such as a special event. I thought this was great bearing in mind that I just found out that I am pregnant. Not only pregnant but carrying twins. I thought yeah I will get a ring to mark the occasion. Except I found out that they make quality mens wedding rings. Not quite what I had in mind. Perhaps a twin diamond ring with an entwined design. Or am I being too specific? Owen sweetness... is this a good enough hint?

Love is...

Aren't these Love Glass Coaster Wedding Favors absolutely adorable. I have never been particularly fond of items with words on them such as plate with plate written all over it or fork with fork all over it. But this says LOVE... which makes it romantic in my book. Again not sure I would use them as wedding favours, but if I had a modern apartment, they are must have coasters.

Kids Clothes

Finding places to buy kids clothes has become so much harder. With Woolworths closing down and with Adams closing down... and today Empire closing down... seriously leaves you very little. Obviously there are some specialised kids clothing places like Naartjie but I loved the range (and prices) that Woolies used to have. I guess their prices were just too good to be true!! Shame.

Baby Clothes

I cannot wait to prepare all the new babies clothes. My current thought is if I am pregnant with twins, what do I do for their christening gowns? You see I love the one that was specially made for Arthur... but I cannot imagine making an identical one would be that easy. Maybe I should have one made for each of them.

Double Proof!

I guess that now I have passed my two-factor authentication, I can actually tell people that our treatment worked and that I am pregnant. What I mean is that my home pregnancy test is positive and so is my hospital blood test positive. I am at over 1000 in my HCG levels, which means that I am pregnant. It is a high level, so it is good news, but perhaps I ought to be a bit conservation until my first scan. I am going to keep my fingers crossed.

Golf

I don't know much about golf at all. What I have heard is that topping misuno drivers is the most painful torture known to man or was it something else? I guess trying to follow a conversation where you have no idea which is heads and which is tails, means you just don't follow it. Anyone up to explaining golf to me?

Live!

Wouldn't it be great if I could use live video streaming services to show the baby on scans and perhaps being born. I guess most people would think it is gross, but I know that with Arthur, my sister would love to have been there but sometimes it is easier to not have too many people. Mind you I guess it would lose the privacy of it all!

Maternity Clothes

I need to dig out my maternity clothes. I am especially after my maternity underwear. I so desperately want comfort. Suddenly all my underwear is tight and uncomfortable. I also suspect that it won't be long before I will be in full maternity wear anyway!

Baby Furniture

It just dawned on me that in less than 8 months we will have a new little baby! I am so unprepared. Admittedly, I only just found out I am pregnant but I need to get organised. I need to sort out some baby furniture, baby clothes, nappies etc. Admittedly I have everything from Arthur (unless we have a girl, then I only have boys clothes) but I have to go sort through everything!!!

I am so excited.... !!!

Doctor Doctor

I came across a funny joke today about doctors and a woman being uncomfortable in the surgery to undress. The doctors solution to that was to turn off the high bay lights - typical male doctor. But anyway... this at least has some humour in it, so I had to blog it!

Considering how often I have been going to doctors and how often I will need to keep going, I thought it apt.

Energy Certificates

The work in Staines is driving me up the wall.... how am I meant to decide between
high bay light and neons? All I know is that I want my lights to be energy saving. Is that request too much to ask? I mean seriously isn't a light... just a light?

Never mind.... time to research!!

Builders

I have had such a horrible time with builders. We used Birchwood Building & Construction and you would not believe the hell they put me through. It took 1 year 3 months instead of the quoted 6 - 8 weeks. And that is just the tip of the iceberg.

Next time I won't just judge on sales talk but I will go pick from custom exhibit builders. Mind you I did pick these as they came recommended from RLA! I guess we all learn from our mistakes.

Get ready..

Get ready to buy some baby shower gifts.... because.... we have a positive result!!!

We are officially pregnant!! Yeah!!! I cannot believe just how quickly the treatment passed and that it is actually a positive result. I will write more about it on Warm & Dry!!

Meanwhile, we are simply all over the moon!!

Wish I had a smilie that could show how I feel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yippee!!
