Miscellaneous

1. We had our OB appointment this morning...babies are small, but growing "similarly". Thank god we had our scan last Friday and the ultrasound guy was much more reassuring! He told us that, while they *are* small, they are growing together, and at a good rate.

2. This whole 'sleeping-on-an-airbed' thing really isn't so much fun after eight (yes, EIGHT!) weeks, but today I got a referral to the physio for my back pain! AND, they had a space for tomorrow! It's kind of sad how excited I am about a physio appointment, but I have high hopes!

3. I also have high hopes that as of this Thursday, I will no longer have to sleep on said airbed!

3(a). No, our personal effects still have not arrived, and we still don't know when they will arrive, but I'm hoping it will be the end of this week.

3(b). I'm going to visit two of my brothers and one of my sisters-in-law in the Gold Coast for a few days from Thursday - and they have a spare bed! So I will, at least, get to sleep in a proper bed for three nights.

4. When I first found out I was pregnant, I started knitting a blanket for the baby. That was 24 weeks ago...I finished it last week. It's really plain, and in no way at all was it difficult - far from it, in fact - I just have to be in the right kind of 'space' to knit, and I kept going through huge phases of not working on it!

4(a). I have since started another blanket for the other twin...what's the odds I can finish this one in time! At least for the moment it has the novelty of being a different colour to the one I have just finished...

5. I can't wait to see my brothers and my sister-in-law!!! I haven't seen my younger brother since about mid-way through last year and at the time I didn't know I wouldn't see him for so long, and I last saw my older brother and his wife at Christmas, but only briefly as they were only in town for two days and had A LOT on!

6. It was my birthday last week. I'm now 25. Car insurance is cheaper now...we don't have a car. I went to a seminar on 'Coping with Baby's First Months', then went out salsa dancing with The Husband and two friends. Was great fun!

7. I'm hungry, so I'm going to go now and make some spaghetti bolognaise for my dinner!

Damage

Seven weeks ago, The Husband and I were out salsa dancing at a club with some friends of ours. We were dancing a three-person salsa, and the other girl accidently stood on the side of my ankle, you know, just down the side of the sticky-out ankle bone on the side. Since then, my ankle has been bruised and swollen. Yup, seven weeks of painful bruising and swelling! I am kinda stubborn and I don't especially like a visit to the doctor, but I eventually went last week - just to make sure it wasn't fractured, or that I hadn't chipped any bone off. It's not (broken), and I haven't (chipped any bone off). Apparently I have "severe soft tissue damage." Not cool!

Floorshow

The husband and I did a ChaCha and Salsa floorshow last night at a school ball - it was SO much fun!!! ChaCha was to a Lady Gaga song (as requested by the school!) and the husband mixed in a samba cause salsa music just does not go with Lady Gaga!

We've done several floorshows together - the husband has done heaps! - but this one had to be my favourite so far, the kids were so into it!!! The music seems to go so much faster when you don't have a routine - the husband has been overseas all week, then had a dj gig at another school beforehand so we had no time to sort anything out - I only heard the music for the first time in the car on the way there!

The girls did SUCH an awesome job decorating the venue - it looked AMAZING!!! I wish I had taken my camera, or al least taken some pics on one of our phones!

The husband is out again now...dancing people through medal tests at the studio. I should be there but I have other things on my agenda today...like studying!!! I've got an exam on Wednesday - procrastination anyone?! I kinda wish my exam had been earlier - the next few weeks are going to be AWESOME and I'm SO excited! I would much rather focus on all that's going to be happening than on staying stuck inside studying!
