Moving right along

Ok, I've decided to move.
Not apartments, that would be a nightmare, I've moved this blog over to wordpress.lol

You can find me at http://kyushukel.wordpress.com/

I have a few posts I would like to write but haven't, it seems such a waste to have a blog but not be able to write freely. So I'm going to do a few password protected posts instead, because I don't want to give up blogging altogether, and I do value any comments that are left here and I honestly would like to hear the opinions of my loyal readers (the few of you know who you are!lol). As a start I've deleted the last post, although I realise it will still be in readers, because I just wasn't comfortable with it being 'out there', and it is now password protected.

I will send the password to those of you I know read regularly (if I know your address that is!), if you don't hear from me but feel you should have it please leave a comment here with a mail address. I can't promise I will send you the password though, so sorry if I offend anyone but I really do want to keep things reasonably private.

Sometimes I find it hard to comment on other peoples' blogs, it's not always that I don't have anything to say, just that I don't like the idea of people I don't know (or may actually know in real life!) stumbling across my blog from a comment I've left somewhere and in doing so getting to know so much about my family and daily life just by clicking a mouse. It's scary!! lol And for me it just doesn't seem right. So by protecting some posts I figure it might make it easier for those who do comment on my blog to do so honestly and without worrying who might be able to track them down too!!

Maybe it just boils down to the fact I'm scared of lurkers!!!lol

Time is flying

It's been a while since I last posted, lots of things have been going on and it's all been quite overwhelming. Some things I have thought about blogging about but decided against doing so just for privacy reasons. I guess that's what password protected posts are for, it's a shame blogger doesn't give you the option to do that. Anyway, in the end I decided I want to keep my posts as positive as possible so I won't go into nitty gritty details, I mean you never know who is actually reading these posts after all!!!! But at the same time it would be nice to hear some opinions on different things too...

Let's just say there have been (and still are) many frustrating situations, mostly related to S's work conditions, and that being 28 weeks pregnant and looking after two small kids day in day out does not make for an easy ride. Especially when B has turned into an eater from hell, and A has hit the terrible twos. It makes for a frustrated and exhausted Mummy, and as much as I love them both sometimes I just need a break. This break of course never eventuates so you can see the endless cycle of things I'm sure...

Anyway, this pregnancy has just flown by, I can't believe I've hit the third trimester already. The morning sickness lasted for 20 weeks so I guess things just crept up on me, considering it's only been 8 weeks since it stopped. Last week we finally got a ultrasound pic that shows for sure what bubs is. Any guesses? Boy or girl? Weight gain (mine) has been minimal, things are going pretty well in that department so now we just have to get organised and get ready for the jump from 2 to 3 kids!!!

I know people say that going from 1 to 2 kids is a big change, then from 2 to 3 is also, but anything after 3 doesn't change much. Apparently having 3, 4 or even 5 kids is pretty much the same. Personally I didn't feel much change going from 1 to 2 kids, so I'm wondering just what people mean when they say the leap from 2 to 3 kids is big. It's kind of daunting, but at the same time I can't really see there being that much of a difference, well not for at least the first 6 months or so. I hope I'm right...Any thoughts on the matter?
