First week of real maternity leave as Oriana returned to school. Finally got some of our wedding photos developed and hopefully should have the our thank you cards out for the wedding. Yes I know that we got married in September last year but a lot has happened since then.
I had to go see a liver specialist this week as my bile salts are a little high. I have Obstetric Cholestasis which will clear up after the boys are born. Basically means that my bile duct is blocked which is causing a build up of bile salts which are trying to excrete through my skin. My symptom was extreme itching and when you scratch the itch it starts to burn but you can't stop itching. Very glad I had it checked because it turns out that my levels were pretty high. It is passed through generations and it looks like it is on the same side of the family as the twin genes. I am now on medication to hopefully unblock the bile duct and on fortnightly blood tests.
The boys have done a big growth spurt this week. My stomach is very very tight and it is getting extremely hard to sleep at night time. After 7 weeks of waiting for our cots to be delivered we have been able to finish the boys nursery. As you can see the theme in their room is space. I was a little worried about the size of the rocket but once we got it up on the wall I loved it.
A big thank you to Janean and Mum for a fantastic baby shower. Was lovely catching up with some friends that I have not seen in a very long time. Was lovely to meet little Tyler and seeing the grown up Isabelle. I didn't unfortunately get any group pictures on the day but would like to mention those who came.
Thank you to
- Janean for organising the baby shower plus the clothes, socks, baby wipes and hand print impression tins.
- Justyne and Morgan for the clothes and tiniest socks I have ever seen.
- Carla, Brett and Tyler for the washers singlets and grow bags
- Danielle and Isabelle for the clothes
- Jane and Anthony for the clothes and cutest little scooby doo hats.
- Eden for the baby bibs and cot sheets
- Carolyn for the baby bag, bibs and hat (plus all the other little items that have been supplied on previous visits)
- Auntie Lyn & the Dalys - for all the clothes, accessories and the movement and baby monitor.

Next weeks plan is to get through all the washing and make a list of everything still left to get. We have another baby market on next Sunday so hopefully we can pick up the left overs next weekend. I have our fortnightly obstetrician appointment on Tuesday.
Adrian and his dad got into the backyard today and moved the shed which gave us more room for the trampoline.
