Birthdays, Babies and Billies

As I move into the 'OMGEEEE I only have two months left to plan Billy's Birthday Party' time of the year, the fisherman and I have decided to give it a go and try to have another baby. I say try because I'm riddled with doubt around how successful we'll be.

Fingers crossed, we are however arrogant in our fertility status enough to try and plan a girl... so far that involves frantically fertilizing for four days a few days before (suspected) ovulation. Apparently  they boy sperm are super fast - but they don't have much staying power. The girls however take their time and tend to hang around waiting for an egg for a few days. Really does sound as if the genders start as they mean to continue.

In other news, the Fisherman and I recently took our first international trip - it definitely wont be the last, and I have stopped smoking. finally.

Billy the kid will be starting school next year - his spot has been secured, and we are now a nanny free household (one day I'll blog about it - but right now - it's too soon). Until kiddo number two comes along that is.

Mortality and my fur kids

My cousin’s dog passed away, and I’ve started thinking about the mortality of my own babies and decided. I simply will not allow myself to dwell on the inevitable. I will use the power of the force and will them to live forever.

What I've learned after 500+ days of marriage

1. Your husband and your boyfriend are not the same person. The responsibility changes them too.
2. You can't just walk away, no matter how often you want to.
3. Children change everything!
4. If your love doesn't evolve as your marriage grows you are completely and utterly screwed.
5. It's OK to be in bed by 8 pm on a Friday night. What matters is who you're sharing it with.
6. Marriage is hard work. No one can ever explain how much. OMG. so much!
7. It's totally and utterly worth it.

Meeting new people

So I've made a new friend, online. I actually have no idea how we even started chatting, a comment here, a comment there and suddenly we're besties on Pinterest and chatting online. She seems normal and fun and we seem to have a lot in common (ie: we both enjoy day drinking, making lists and we both worry way too much, about shit).

But... I worry - what do I really know about her? She has no profile picture and the only thing I really know about her as an undisputable fact is she likes white kitchens as much as me... nobody would pin that many pic's to lure someone into a conversation. Is she in turn worrying about me? Wondering if I'm some axe murdered with a white kitchen fetish?

So at what point do you simply trust that the person on the other end of the keyboard is who they say they are? Or do we simply blindly assume everyone we meet online is a ticking time-bomb... 'cos really, if they were that witty and funny why are they online and not interacting with their real friends? And then I remember - Oh Crap! That's me too then....

Till later

Billy The Kid turns 1!

Hi Ya’ll

What have I been up to lately? Planning, planning, planning! The LO had his first birthday party. So obviously we (I) went balls to the wall with a Billy the Kid themed party. The fisherman now officially thinks I’m nuts – as if he didn’t know….

Tutorial for creating the little hobby horses can be found at: https://liagriffith.com/diy-felt-stick-horses/ and if you are interested in seeing all the lovely ideas I didn’t get to make / craft / conjure, please check out my Pinterest board here: http://bit.ly/1MYOJLN.

LOL @ Me

I have been laughing out loud at my previous post for the last ten minutes.

One wedding down, and one bouncing baby boy later, I now have a whole new list of challenges to face:

Things that make me panic:

1. Is my son breathing? YES - number one on my list!
2. Am I a good enough wife
3. Who is cooking dinner

These are the main things - I could add to that a plethora of work related worries, but this is me time dammit!

Wedding Panic

I am starting to panic.

Wedding is less than 300 days away. This is my to-do list:

1. Lose 20kg's
2. Hire Chairs
3. Reprint invitations
4. Make fun video invite for out of towners
5. Finalise decor and flowers
6. Cake - tasting and final design
7. Details details details

Ahhhh - feeling better. Lists sooth me.
