Congrats guys!!

I can't wait now... it makes it all very exciting for Jason and I now!

New Baby photos

Just got back from another scan... and ... all is perfectly well!! Kale is doing great. She is growing well and seems to be moving and developing wonderfully.You can count all her fingers in this shot!

In this shot you can see her lower arm bones and fingers.

While we were there we got a ton of test results back. I had some blood tested a few weeks ago for genetic abnormalities... all the tests were negative!

We also got the results back from the big ultrasound that we had a few weeks ago. Everything is great. Kale has all the vital organs she is supposed to have, 4 heart chambers, kidney, bladder and stomach. Her heart is pumping nicely, and the umbilical cord is developed, which is always good news!

So... it was a great ultrasound and all is well!

Almost 19 weeks... it's official... none of my clothes fit!

Yes... thats me! I am almost 19 weeks and getting bigger and bigger. I am wearing clothes that are 2 sizes bigger than normal and my boobs are huge!
My lovely Mum and Dad gave me some money to go and buy some clothes, so luckily I have some clothes that actually fit me!

My Birthday Belly Shots!

I couldn't resist having Natalia take some 'Belly Shots' on my birthday! We have to record the growing lump as much as possible.


Birthday Celebrations

June 7th... My Birthday!!
I had decided to just have a nice quiet chilled out BBQ for my birthday this year... and what I got was a roudy, drunken, rave in my back garden!!
Oh, No... that was my 21st... I did get the prefect day with all my friends. We had some of our closest friends over to BBQ, chat and just have fun.
This is me and my friend Natalia.
She took all the pictures for me! Thanks Nat!
Me and Tara... Tara just moved to Cali from Texas. Jason and I are great friends with her brother Sean, and now great friends with her and her family!
Me and Amy. Amy just got engaged. We are all so excited for her wedding!
Me and Ava May. Ava is Tara's daughter. She is so fun to watch running around. She gave Jason and I an idea of what to expect in a few years!
We should be so lucky!
Ava running around the garden...
Me, Jason and Ava chilling in the garden.
The boys hanging out in the sunshine with a beer.

Ava loves grapes... can you tell?!

My yummy, scrumdidilyumschious birthday cake!! I chose the 'Double Chocolate Cream Pie'... I wonder why?

I was getting so excited for my cake... I couldn't stop myself from being a little silly!

More silly birthday cake pictures... I just wanted to eat it!

After everyone started to leave the remaining few of us went for a walk to the little park at the end of our road 'Pines Park'. We took Jason's electric scooter to play with. Everyone had a quick go... it was funny watching everyone get used to the speed of the scooter!

When Ava saw everyone else having a go, she wanted a turn too!

The boys took a break from the scooter and let the girls have a turn.

Emily did a wicked job riding the scooter. She had a fun time screaming past everyone and jumping from the pathway to the grass! When I had a quick go, I couldn't resist but to travel all the way over to the other side of the park where there was a couple having a lie down... and kiss and cuddle... under some blankets! I certainly put a spanner in the works, but it was HILARIOUS!

Little Ava had a blast at the park, running around on all the playground and playing in the sand. I think her Mum and Dad had an even better time! They were down the slide more times than she was!

The crew walking home after along day of fun fun fun in the sun sun sun!








More baby preparations...

As soon as I found out that we are going to have a daughter I wanted to go out and buy some pink girlie clothes... so I did! I went into Target and got a few little bits to hang up in Kale's bedroom in preparation for her arrival!
This one is one of my favorites... it's got little electric guitars on it!

This one is for Jason... it's got 'Daddy loves me' written on the chest.

This little baby grow was only $3 at Target! I had to get it. It's so cute!

I just loved this little outfit too! I couldn't help myself!

Kale got this cute outfit from our friend's the Harrison Family.

We also got this cute outfit from the Harrison family! They are so generous!

This CUTE little outfit came from our great friends Diane and Frank! It's hand-made by Diane's friend. I can't wait to see Kale in it!

I love this little babygrow... we got it from the Haack Family.

This also came from the Haack Family. I can't wait to put Kale in this!

Last, but by NO means least... my favorite... I wounder why?!

Thank you everyone, who gave Kale a gift already!
