Perfect day for the blowholes! Wild and wooly!

A beautiful day out in the hills celebrating Fathers Day at Bells Rapids. We packed up a picnic and took the dogs out. Huge crowds around but we still managed to find a nice little area to sit amongst all the flowering wattle.

watching: gourmet farmer, river cottage australia re-runs, love island 

sipping: filter decaf coffee, fresh orange juice from our tree

baking: cardamon cookies, seeded garlic crackers

craving: cheese, sun on my skin, bare feet, dresses 

cooking: burrito bowls, soups to use up old veggies 

organising: the baby's room! 

loving: spring is in the air!, seeing Todd's face when he feels the baby kick, slow weekends with no plans at all, nights out to dinner with friends  

planting: the verge with new natives ready for spring 

picking: lemons, kale

diffusing: theives to kick the last of those winter bugs, citrus fresh

learning: about birth 

noticing: all of the blossoms on the trees ... our ornamental plum out the front and the fruit trees 

looking forward to: rottnest and down south trips

dreaming/wondering: how different will our lives look a year from now? 

Just one of my favourite days ever.

We woke early to find out I was pregnant. Months, years of heart ache, set backs, new doctors and diagnosis's, surgeries and then suddenly there it was. The news we'd been hoping for and working towards.

By chance Nerida had asked us to help out on that particular day with a photoshoot to use her new lens and help promote her gorgeous little business down south.

Who knew that these photos would become so meaningful! Keeping our secret close for the next four weeks, I can see the happiness in our body language and faces as we soaked up the love and luck we were feeling!

Halfway this weekend to meeting this little babe growing away!

Friday night was a special one - lying in bed, Todd was able to feel the first thumps of a kick.
One day before our big scan where they said the baby was growing well.
Just in time for some sunshine, coffee, new pictures and just a whole lot of lovely feelings.
