My dear friend Eleni had given my husband and I a Borders gift card for a Christmas gift, last Christmas. For those of you that haven’t been to a Borders store they sell books and dvds and stationery, so it is more than just a book shop. So this weekend Charles and I went shopping [...]

At 9 weeks our baby is finally starting to look more like a little human. The baby is about 2.3 cms long at 9 weeks pregnant and weights less than 2 grams. Although not completely formed it has all the standard body parts. Also despite not being able to tell the sex of the baby [...]

You may have seen on my Lissylane website the fabric birdie mobile I made for my bedroom last year, if not here is the article: http://www.lissylane.com/Blog-Articles/whats-been-keeping-me-busy.html.  As you would have seen I plan to make a felt owl mobile for the babies room, but I still adore these little fabric birdies. So instead of use [...]

Well I was at it again over the weekend and decided that it was time to make the next quilt cover using the fabrics selected from Spotlight the other day. The fabrics that I picked are mostly from Spotlights new “BeBe” range. I tried to pick a mixture of both blues and pinks with some [...]

On the weekend we had a visit from Charles’ mum and dad (soon to be Gran and Granddad). Over the last few weeks I’ve been slowly working on making some little felt owls in my spare time to use as part of a mosquito net and owl mobile combination for above the cot. As part [...]

Well as promised, here is the finished product of my practice quilt cover. I’m actually very happy with how it has turned out. For something that cost me $6.50 to make (due to my hording of scraps of fabric) it certainly was worth the time and effort. I’m really looking forward to making another one. [...]

The title says it all! My darling little tiger was sprung this morning sleeping on my half finished quilt cover, here’s the photographic evidence: Later today I will get to work on completing this cover (when Fuzzie is done sleeping on it of course) and hopefully have a finished result for you all to see!

After the scare of the light bleeding yesterday we went to our doctors appointment today to have another ultrasound and check for the baby’s heart beat. I won’t hold you all in suspense, everything was fine! The baby’s heart was beating, there was that little flicker on the screen as we had prayed we would [...]

As everyone knows the first trimester is a difficult time for pregnant women, with the chance of 15 to 20% of known pregnancies to end in miscarriage. Today I had my own scare as I experienced some bleeding. I naturally called the midwife immediately to find out what I should do and get some advice. [...]

Today we met our obstetrician, Dr. Benjamin Bopp at Pindara Place: Fertility Gold Coast. He was very lovely, we found him very friendly and explained everything we needed to know about this stage of our pregnancy. He also performed an ultrasound which was very exciting! We got to see our baby for the first time and see [...]
