Me #6: The inside of your cupboard

It's the end of the week - hence the empty looking space, but trust me - I really dont have enough cupboard space!

That big white plastic bag is my recent bridesmaids dress - I will eventually take it to my parents for storage - to join all my other bridesmaid dresses

Childbirth & Breastfeeding

With me becoming an aunty in a few months the talk seems to be revolving around childbirth, baby names & breastfeeding.
Oh boy....
I am still on the fence about childbirth - whether to pop it out or slice it open.
Frankly both options freak me out.
I had my appendix out 2 years ago and that cut through the muscle was sore for months - there goes slice it.
Squeezing a watermelon out of ..."down there" which is the size of a lemon ... at a push? (excuse the pun) - those bits won't ever be the same! There goes Pop it.


Breastfeeding:
This really grosses me out.
I am not sure why, but for me my breasts are... ornaments. Meant to be enjoyed. Not udders.
My friend pipes up today, " This is why you get milk in a shop!"
Yes I am aware of the nutritional benefits and I fully agree with it, but I remember visiting a distant friend of mine in hospital and she whipped it out to let baby feed and I was so grossed out!

I guess things will be different when I have my own, at this rate I am happy to wait for the Stork story to become a reality.

Baby Names:
My little girl will be named Layla
My little boy was always going to be Tyler or Ethan, until my "friend" named her son Tyler Ethan.
After she knew my names.
I guess my husband can pick the son's name - I quite like Dylan.....

1 more day to go then its.... WOZA FRIDAY!!

Woke up this morning feeling like I had a bowl of crappy pops for breakfast.

Then realised it is Friday!

I have to endure a 2 hour meeting and then the rest of the day should be plain sailing to the weekend - and it is a 3 day weekend.

Thank goodness.

What are your plans for the weekend?

Me # 5: A sentimental piece of jewellery

I wish I could remember how long ago I got this as a gift from my brother.

He is usually not very thoughtful and I remember opening this present which he had picked out all for himself & loving the thought he put into it.

 I wear it every single day.

Me # 4: Shoes that make you feel sexy

These sandals from Plum are super sexy.

I love diamante and silver design on the heel and the tiny mirror blocks over the toe.

Me # 3: Your most treasured handbag

My Guess handbag.

I adore it

My mom bought this for me 1 day in line at the store because I was wearing a white dress with black embroidered flowers and we knew it would look great with my dress.

In a true selfless mother style, mom bought it for me when she has always wanted an original Guess handbag herself.

I hardly use the bag becuse I dont want to mess it up and also because it really is too small for all the junk as seen in Me #1!

It isn't just  bag - this is yet another way my mom has proven to love me so much that she foregoes her own wishes to fulfill mine.

Me #2: Your favourite scarf

Ok so it was really difficult deciding - I took a careful look at all my pretty scarves and lovingly wrapped them all around my neck and eventually decided on a tie.

My black skinny scarf with black sequins is a great accessory I wear in summer. The fluffy pink scarf was a gift from my mom and is so fluffy you almost expect it to purr!

Dear Chinese silk scarf - I love you too, you were a very close finalist.
