A few sweet things making me smile today.

Yep....we're still waiting! Waiting for this little baby to grace us with his presence! And to be honest......I'm over it. Fed up. Frustrated! I keep chanting this quote in my mind: ‘When the fruit is ready, it will fall off the vine’. I know I should just relax & trust the process....he'll be here eventually! But, I'm struggling! I'm trying to savour every last minute of being pregnant....as there's a big chance that this will be the last time I'll ever carry a child inside me! And don't get me wrong.....I'm feeling VERY lucky & grateful & blessed to have made it full-term with a thriving little life.....but c'mon already.....time's up! I want to meet you my little Love!

Anyways....to keep my mind off the waiting....the wondering....the pain, I decided to focus on the GOOD! Coz there's so much good around....you just have to look a little harder sometimes! So, I've put together a little list of 'Sweet Things Making Me Smile Today':

1. The sun is shining....the sky is blue....I can already feel Summer in the air....and that's good! All good :)

2. My BIG GIRL {she can always make me smile!}. Gosh I love her!

3. My new Louis Vuitton 'nappy' bag from our New York City trip :) 

4. Finding random drawings scattered around the house....stuck to walls with stickers, carefully slipped into Mummy's bag or Daddy's iPad case, piled up on the craft table, scrunched into little pink handbags & inside scrapbooks! My girl likes to draw....and her drawings make me smile :)

{this is me on Planet Earth.....what's not to smile about that!}

5. Sitting in the baby's nursery.....imagining, planning, wondering, loving!

6. Playing with new photo Apps on my phone. This one is Colour Splash....thank you to Sarah for the tip on some good, fun apps. I used one of the photos I took at the Strawberry Farm to play with! 

7. Imagining our little man all dressed up in all his cute little outfits :)

8. My new PRINT design :) A quote from Ella's favourite little fairy, Tinkerbell :) You can purchase this print here!

9. Ella found 10cents on our morning walk today :) She was pretty happy with that find :) I told her she can keep it & put it in her piggy bank at home.....her response "Nah, I think I'll give it to my Kindy and they can buy new toys & paint with it, coz they might be running out of money!" {that made me smile!}

10. And.....Chris & I are LOVING this song by Darren Hayes at the moment :)

Life can be frustrating {especially when you're like me & like to have everything planned out & organised}, but it can also be unpredictable, wild & full of SWEET SWEET THINGS!

Please help me keep my mind busy.....Tell me, what's making you smile today?

In My Heart......

As I sit here, waiting, thinking...trying to imagine, I feel a swarm of different emotions! Sad that this is happening, anxious that it may not be, hopeful of what may come, scared of 'that' prognosis, happy about the possibilities, excited about the future, a feeling of 'something missing' and a feeling of 'something gained'. I've always considered myself a patient person.....but today.....I HATE HAVING TO WAIT! Tomorrow can't come soon enough! I miss my Husband & my little girl more than words can express & it's only been 2 days! I hate the hospital smell...the noises...and the reason for being here!

BUT.....my fingers are crossed, positive thoughts are in motion and we're having faith in the way things will go! Things happen for a reason......don't they????
