Cough, sniffle, sneeze...

Definitely not much happening this week as poor Jax managed to catch herself a head cold, and the only good things for fixing that are rest, fluids, and Panadol (the equivalent of aspirin). It has been hanging around a bit *too* long though so we are also trying some antibiotics the Dr prescribed (yes, they are "safe"). Hopefully that will do the trick ! Only two more weeks until the start of her maternity leave as well.

Today was quite busy though, this morning we went out to The Warehouse to get some curtains for the nursery (photo to come once they are up, still have to buy hooks for the curtain to hang on the rail with), then off to the hardware store to get some underfloor insulation.

The house feels like it has been getting quite damp, but we've already got Pink Batts (looks like candy floss) in the ceiling and maybe the walls, so hopefully the underfloor stuff will help cut down a bit further on some of the moisture. We also picked up some pre-cut melamine board to make a shelf in the kitchen with, hasn't Roland done a great job?


Tomorrow we will probably look at what to put on it, but it will great as our pantry is a little overcrowded.

We're also going to try a new strategy with the grocery shopping tomorrow, and try and buy enough for two weeks worth of meals, not including fresh fruit and veges of course - this also meant writing out a two week meal planner. We might have to start up the fridge / freezer downstairs as well (in the basement), AND we might even get around to planning some of the meals we want to make and freeze for the first couple of weeks after Baby Bird arrives.

And just before we sign off, a quick note to our little cousin Julia - great singing !! It was a good reminder for me to give Papere a phone call for his birthday when that comes.

That's all for now though, take care folks !

Love J, R & Baby Girl Bird
