Boss O xxoo

Oh and if you haven’t already, you simply MUST check out this guy’s work! B has passed a reply or two on his way home from the office (in Windsor) too. Deeeeelightful. I don’t care who copied who, I just love ‘em!

I’m not in hospital, this time.

I’m not.

Not even a bit.

Ok, I go there a lot but they don’t make me stay any more.

Now I want to stay.

Pfff!

We’re snowed under with techmology currently. It’s tops! It’s tops posh. I just cant tell you how MUCH I love STUFF!! ‘Speshully techy stuff! I’m up to Puss’s bow in bloody gigabites of glory!

Our two newest toys are; a Neuros. It makes stuff get on our telly from the computer and vice versa. It lets your telly surf the web and play YouTube clips and it even makes shows get on my iPhone (mmm my true love) in ONE easy step – IN iPhone format!! It archives all our old VCR (remember those?! heh) and DVD’s and *cough* pirated *cough* tv shows from off of the lovely electric internets. I can’t stop watching Nathan Barley – again. (seriously, note the web addy) Gawd we love Chris Morris! pant pant pant… Anything that gets more Morris in this house is going to be more welcome than a healthy 7lb baby stuffed full of hundred dollar bills! pant pant pant…

The other bit o lovely we’ve got is a teeny tiny eeePC on it’s way from the US (for B’s birthday/baby day/just cause he’s wanted one for ages day) and low and behold, it’s gonna be perfect for ME to take to hospital when I eventually have this 4yr old child removed. eeePC’s were the first of the full power mini laptops. It’s 10″ across fercrissakes! Solid state drive (no moving parts) loaded with the prettiest of Linux thingys (no money for YOU Mr Gates) a built in camera/microphone and all that jazz. Add one mobile broadband dongle and voila Barry, you’ve got the internet IN hospital (instead of being cut off like some 1960’s birthing mother in a remote Peruvian jungle somwhere). *sigh* See? It takes SO little to make me truly happy.

Oh and I ordered New Baby an Uglydoll of its own. Spike has FUGGER, New Baby will have this.

You gotta love a little UglyDoll. I think currently, they’re about the same size. New Ugly and New Baby that is. Kinda hoping New Baby is slightly less yellow. Oh, and two eyed. Biocular. Able to wink without blacking out.

2 & 1/2 weeksish to go… Nobody likes a latecomer.

The last ultrasound (one week ago) showed New Baby is only four pounds-ish. Ahhh? I beg to differ! That aint ALL cake or pancakes! Rinne and I haven’t even been to Monties ALL year!!!!!

Til that there explodes…

Boss o Fat Pants!! xxoo

Out again!

I tells ya, this no-breathing/pleurisy/30% lung function/exhaustion/last trimester pregnancy thing aint all it’s cracked up to be! I certainly didn’t read all the down sides in the brochure. Glossed riiiiight over them, they did. I think I’m gonna want my money back.

Another 2 week stay at Queen Victoria’s pleasure. More drugs this time, lovely loopy drugs which kinda made up for all the hideous pain I was in. Pain’s gone now. Drugs haven’t! SCORE!

I feel like this…

And look like this…

Ha. Ha. Yes, yes. Very droll. How CAN one tell the difference?!

Simply – the weird bitch up top can probably still breathe! Octuplets seems like a walk in the park right now. I remember when Apu’s wife had octuplets… ah the hilarity that ensued!

The SINGULAR child I continue to carry appears to be doing juuuuust fine. Growing, kicking, punching, taking up WAY too much room, occasionally producing too much amniotic fluid – I fear it has put in a lap pool of some sort – is all seemingly oblivious to my distress. It’s heartbeat gets a little racy from time to time but my resting pulse at present is hovering around the 100’s. And I wasn’t even thinking about Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie. Much. “We’ll review you again tomorrow.” Last week was looking like extraction was imminent then we both settled down… so I’m still stuck with it. Oh, the revenge I shall exact in 13 or so years. Oh sweet tasty revenge. (it tastes like chocolate – only better)

My other child, the perfect one (bookmark this post for 2nd child to read at a later date) continues to be, perfect. He’s been hanging with Nana and Papa while I hang with the medicos and Daddy kicks on at his new gig! He is in gadget heaven. Product tester, copywriter, general technical genii. Check them out, it’s a killer site!

Victoria’s been a bit on fire this last week or so. Unimaginable devastation as far as the eye can see. Kinglake was hit. hard. And yes, as many of you know Looby’s a Kinglake resident. A very very lucky Kinglake resident who has survived with her house intact and her loved ones all accounted for.

Here she is two days before the fires visiting me in hospital, joking about how if she kicked a hole in her water tank she could flood her Kinglake court. She’s always been a little bit spooky… We’re all so grateful she’s ok. Ok, in a general sense. She’s still as nuts as she’s always been. But not singed. Mercifully, not even shop soiled. Love to her and Juan and the animals.

Donations for the BushFire Victims and Survivors can be made here, Red Cross and actually, my friend Lozz put up a lovely post regarding places to donate. Check this out. Bookmark the talented little bint while you’re at it. She’s divine.

Ok, that’ll do. That’ll do from sunny Melbourne. I can’t wait for winter. Bring it on! Hope you all stay cool and safe while you’re busy ordering things from Zazz.com.au!

Til just before I explode.

*Claaaang* 38 weeks and all’s well…

Justin Timberlake said, “I’m bringing sexy back.” Well thanks Justin. It seems you’ve delivered the sexy over here and you delivered it by the bucketload! Lordy, there aint nothing sexier than a 38 week pregnant tummy. All stretched. Weirdly lilting off to the right hand side. In constant, rolling motion. The heartburn has been relentless but at least its all but chased off the morning sickness! The biggest surprise has been the stretch marks-shut up! heh

Actually, I’m doing pretty well. I had my 38 week (38 divided by 4, carry the 2…) appointment today. I sat down and said, “I am not going beyond 40 weeks.” It was then the laughter started. “Well Mrs Scott, it is our policy not to let our ladies go over 42 weeks…” “Oh, I’m sorry, I must not have been speaking le Anglais.” I repeated, “I am NOT going over 40 weeks. 40 weeks is TEN months! Contrary to rude conjecture I am not an elephant nor a camel nor even a giraffe (although that long blue tongue would surely come in handy for trips to the ice cream factory). I continued. “There is NO need for anyone to be cooked for TEN months. I do not want a 4 week old child, wandering around inside of me. I want it out, in it’s pram at Nana and Grandpa’s house. Where it belongs! I’m pretty sure its already about 4ft tall and tipping the scales at 14 or 18 lbs. I am only 5ft 4″ on a good day. (Me= 5′4″) + (Baby =4′) =? You do the math. Exactly my point! It’s got two more weeks then I’m calling AAA, the RACV and Sea Search & Rescue.” Stand by for more news on that front! But I think I made myself clear.

Australia is still the prettiest spot on earth, there is NO doubt about it. The sky isnt a hazy brown. The traffic isn’t gridlocked 24 hours a day. The beach is clean and you can see the shore line without the aid of binoculars. It’s bloody expensive though!!! Ben went shopping the other day and “fruit” was on the list. He came home with ONE banana. Average size, yellow on the outside. Yellow on the inside. No diamond studs or anything else unusual about it. How much would you expect to pay for such an item? Do I hear :40c? Do I hear :60c? How’s about a rousing, $3:20. No no, not, per pound or kilo (hardly!) $3:20 PER banana. I know there was a cyclone a YEAR ago but really… $3:20? Come on!

It also kills me to fill up the car with petrol. $88+ per tank. No, we’re not driving a military tank, not even a Schwarzenegger H3. Just an average family sized sedan. No turbo engine. No jet aided propulsion. $88+ a tank? Bite me! What, does the thing run on – bananas??? Less of a surprise is the cost of booze. I already knew that was expensive. It is infact, way more expensive, which actually highlights how dedicated our Aussie alcoholics are. You’ve got to lay down some serious folding money to write yourself off. They say if you want something bad enough, you find a way…

Thanks also for all your kind birthday wishes and presents. T’was indeed my birthday on Wednesday the 13th. If you havent sent your expensive gifts and trinkets in yet, that’s ok. I will accept them anytime this week or next. Or next. I am just that kind.

One of my favourite things about being home again has been, Linda. We’ve been relishing in one anothers company again. It has been like putting on an old floppy pair of slippers that make you laugh your guts up, every time you take a step. (Rat scuffs, any one?) We’ve been talking about funny stuff and are enjoying mashing our heads together in the pursuit of silliness, once more.

Well, I reckon I have two more weeks to cram as much “catching up with those I love” before I explode. Plans are afoot and coffee will be drunk! I cant wait. Literally. At this stage the biggest battle I have is getting off the couch unaided – (funnily enough, I’m still 20+ lbs lighter than I was about 18 months ago) but, let’s not push it.

See you all soon. And those not in Melbourne, will see you just after that – thru the baby vomit haze… Betcha cant wait, eh?!

Til next time!

Me, Him and It xxxx
