Week in the Life Down Under: Monday

By 6 Comments

I'm in

So after taking a couple of dozen photos on Sunday - my first day of the Week in the Life project - my seemingly harmless cold turned into a bad respiratory infection.

I could have decided to let it all go, but this year I decided to just go with it and do my best to tell the story even though I wasn't well.

I dragged myself out to my 19 week ultrasound, as there was no way to re-book in the ultrasound this week. All 5 (well 6) of us headed out in the windy weather to see out new baby 'Forbes'.

Phill decided to stay home for the rest of the day since I was so sick.

I spent the rest of the day in bed while Phill did lunch (pies), took Emily to dance and did dinner (roast chicken).

By the time we got the weekly online shopping delivery from Coles, I was feeling a little better. So I helped clean up the kitchen and games room. It feels so much nicer to wake up to a clean house.

I watched a few barbershop videos (got sucked in searching for a good rendition of I woke up this morning feelin' fine barbershop style). Phill wasn't so impressed.

We watched an episode of Arrow and then I was in bed by 8:30pm

Last year I not only completed the project but also finally got my 2011 and 2012 album done!

This year, I splashed out an bought Ali Edward's digital kit just for the fun of it this year. I added all the elements to one PSD and saved one for each day. If I get time I'll add more layout but I'm just keeping it basic for now - one 2 pager per day.

I'll be sharing on Instagram and over in Ali's Week in the Life Community too!

    Yes 19 weeks is the awkward time where things don’t fit but maternity wear is too big. Some good candid captures.
