    Its been awhile since I've updated. Anyways, my dearest baby is 3.3kg 1 week ago. Her head is about 32.5CM around. She's gonna be a big baby and I blame Ant and his ang mo genes. :S Oh well, alls good besides me being paranoid and freaking myself out. I guess so many women go thru labour and go back for 2nds 3rds and even 9ths so I'm quite sure I'll be fine. :D Shes been moving less and her heads fixed in the right spot now so means shes getting ready for her big trip. :)

    Anyways on the lighter note, buttons room or our room is all organized except for odd bits lying around which I'm too lazy to put away. My hospital bag is packed and I've put pictures up on facebook but I just cannot be bothered putting them on the blog too. Not with this extremely slow net anyways! :P I'm about 3/4 way thru her duck cross stitch I've been working on and its progressing relatively quickly now. :) I'll put pictures up once I'm done on facebook.

    Anths been really sweet when he comes down on weekends. He ordered a bouquet last week and it arrived just before I was about to doze off on my afternoon nap. Its a massive bouquet of lilies! Had a card that said "Dear Rachel and Buttons, just to let you know I miss you both Anth". They've begin to bloom now and I've got 7 pink lilies and 1 orange one. I just wish flowers last forever. Again pictures are on facebook not that many of yous give a shit anyways. :) Anyways, we went out for dinner on Saturday together, a simple pub meal but it was a nice thought coz Anth said we won't have much time to spend together just by ourselves when Buttons gets here. Hired a movie and came home n watched it together. Simple but nice and sweet night. It was more the fact that he actually thought about it and wanted us to spend some time together that really mattered. :D

    Its fathers day this Sunday and I've got him a card and a world best father book. I'm gonna go down and try to book a dinner on Sat night for him. :) Quite looking forward to that, provided I'm not in labour before that.

    I bought myself a fairy and shes gorgeous! I think anyways, alot of people said shes creepy but my god shes the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. :) Spent quite a bit on her but I really love her and am gunna start collecting her. So if any of yous wondering what should I get Rachel a fairy would be the answer. Hint: Try ebay australia, type in ttmd and it should come up if the person has any on sale. ;)

    Anths been asking buttons to hurry up but I think she's deliberately pissing him off by taking her own sweet time! :D hahaha Oh well, his own fault for not wanting to do the only thing that would hurry her along. In case any of yous are wondering its sex. :) I don't blame him. When I'm this heavily pregnant, I couldn't really care for it anyways and he's quite happy to DIY anyways. Its just quite cute and sweet that he's all excited and cannot wait. Said to me today "you already know her live with her, I know very little about her...." hahaha I think he'd be wanting to put her back when shes out n screaming and crying. We'll see, but he sure is getting excited so am I. Can't wait to see her! :D

    Oh and yes the cramps are getting awful now. :( Its like having a period pain really but I haven't had any in 8mths so having them for about 2 weeks everynight has been quite an ordeal. :( I suppose it means shes getting ready. :D

    Okayy, besides xstitch, I've been watching a tv series called true blood which is pretty good. Its rated R and currently Americas 2nd highest grossing tv series. Alot of sex and its about vampires. I'm not a big fan of Twilight, actually, I hate Twilight but True blood is alright maybe coz its more mature not some sappy teenage love story. :S

    Anyways, thats all for now I guess. :) The next update will probably be when Buttons is born :D

    ツ stretch marks! :(

    I found 2 stretch marks today! :( OMG I'm seriously devastated! Ant would probably see it and think I'm ugly as compared to the other hot girls out there and break up with me. Its a high possiblity trust me!

    I'm ugly.
    I'm fat.
    I've got stretch marks.
    I'm not good enough.
    4 perfectly good reasons to break up with me.

    I'm back! :D Well, I felt like I had to be back because my dearest Angela put so much effort into my blogskin. Now is all customized and pretty and I love it! :D

    Buttons is 8mths now. Just 1 more month to go. Its all very exciting I really am enjoying this pregnancy to the max. Especially feeling her move and hiccup! hahaha Oh but waking up 5x everynight to go to the toilet can get abit over the top for me no wonder I'm always tired. I guess its just a preparation for when the babys born and moms get no sleep. All is well for her, the last checkup last week, she was 2.2kg and had long legs! haha Wanted to get a picture for Ant but all I got was her tiny little pair of hands :)

    My sisters 21st is in 10 days! I still haven't found her a nice present. :( Not that I've got many options here in Sale anyways. I really need to find her something special since I won't be there. Quite sad I won't be there but I'm sure she'll still have fun coz got family and friends and her beloved Justin there. :D

    Buttons has got a ton of clothes. Seriously shes got sooooo much clothes I don't even know where to store them! I've basically got everything she needs except her bassinette, which hasn't arrived and its becoming quite worrying coz she'll have no bed to sleep in!

    Had a big recurring blow up with Ant last night. I kept asking myself do I wanna do this, is it worth it. Well, I can't tell for sure, but he's given me his word and I've decided its the last chance. So lets pray he doesn't screw this up for us and himself. I thought of giving up then I look back on the good times we had and think of Buttons and I decided it is worth another shot (I really hope he makes an effort this time). :) So alls good for now. I'm actually very very very sure he'll be an extremely good dad. Not so good partner but I can deal with that, not everyone is perfect. :) Anyways, he said something which I felt was really true. A relationship doesn't exist unless there is a friendship and love. All friendships have their ups and downs and little fights and happy moments. Its quite hard to walk away from everything we've had after all this time. :)

    Okayy I've finished 1 cross stitch for Buttons I've got about 10 more to go. Hahaha I'm trying to make a blanket for her which would consist of random cute cross stitches I did put together. Not sure if I'll manage to finish is before shes 20! hahaha I'll try though. Anywho, all those thinking of giving me something a cross stitch pattern book would be nice. :P Hmm... Tatty bear, Lickle Ted, Precious moments, Winnie the Pooh....

    Been cooking a fair bit too. I tried cooking laksa and it was actually quite nice. :) I'm going to cook 5 spices chicken wings tonight and also if I can be bothered I'm going to make a pandan cake. :D Successful or not just stay tuned. I know its abit of a shock to all my friends considering I'm quite a pampered child I never really had to do anything for myself coz I always had a maid. Now I'm cooking all these stuff I know Ting, Li and Lin are quite shocked. I'm going to be a mom soon, and I'm in a foreign country all on my own I would need to do something for myself I suppose. :)

    Well, thats all folks, I'll be back soon.

    I really like word games! Especially Scrabble, Scattergories, Boggle etc. Though I'm absolutely crap at it. :( My sole purpose is to beat Ant at such games coz he's just too good it makes me angry!! :P

    Well, as for Trivia games... I'd be happy with a score of 1. :D

    Do you remember when u 1st fell in love with ur partner?






    I do. :D

    I don't remember where exactly it happened but it did happen. I was cold and he took his jacket off and gave it to me. Might seem insignificant to others but it was a COLD winter night.

    Doesn't have to be a mind blowing experience just simple gestures like this touch my heart.
