Antibodies in pregnancy
I’ve mentioned my antibodies before in a previous post. My blood is a rare type but it’s only an issue when I’m pregnant, or, I imagine, if I ever need a blood or organ transplant. Most people know about the Rhesus issue (when a mother’s blood type does not match her baby’s and therefore forms […]
21 weeks
We’ve reached the 21-week mark. This pregnancy is going so fast it’s almost scary. For me, this is probably a fair way over halfway (my other babies were born 3 and 2 weeks early). We had our anomaly scan yesterday. We chuckled afterwards that we weren’t in great awe after this scan because we’ve already […]
Placcy Bags
I am writing this from my father-in-law’s study. I am listening to some parrots squawking. The setting sun is turning the blue sky pink, and golden light reflects on the gum trees in the neighbouring yard. Some pink oleanders are flowering and I am thinking: “This is rather pleasant.

The joy of a house
I apologise for not blogging lately. I’m being very lazy. Actually, I am just *really* enjoying my new house. It is wonderful to be here. The journey, however is not over. Monte has been using the tractor to do some landscaping. He has filled in the trenches in the front yard and he has moved […]

My little Super Hero
Matthew is here with me, writing a blog, and he wants me to write a post about him. He wants me to tell everybody that he is a super hero and he is going to save the world! (action stance) Now he has run off to play with ‘Scrat’ from Ice Age 2. I’ll publish […]
Back to school
Georgia has started Grade 1. She loves her new teacher and she is excited about a new year of learning new things. She was nervous today, but she was mostly excited. Working at the same school that she attends is comforting because I often think that I will be there if she needs me … […]
