It's the Anzac Day long weekend and what else to do on this glorious morning but to sleep in, have late lunch and do some cleaning up of the house.

Not like I'm the one cleaning but I did my fair share of dusting.

Weekend has been exceptionally productive.

Managed to hire a live-in confinement lady/helper that will start from 10 May.

The lady is Chinese from Indonesia who lives here in Sydney and is looking to earn some extra pocket money. So hubs and I figured we would hire her to ease the load from mum. She'll be able to help mum cook and do all the household chores. Although, mum and her might have teething issues due to communication problems (Mum only speaks English, Cantonese and a smattering of Malay) where else the lady speaks (Indonesian, Mandarin and Hokkien only!)

This weekend we also managed to score a new car from Honda. My current car is about 7 years old and is in dire need of a change. I left it here when I left and my parents only ever use it on the weekends since parking in Sydney during weekdays is crazily expensive. Now that I'm here and use the car daily, on average I spend about $20 a day on parking.

Yesterday we spent 2 hours in Honda haggling the price for the new Honda Civic Vti-L Limited Edition. Dad decided on getting a cheapie since it's solely a weekend car. Now, we just wait for the arrival. Estimated pickup would be mid May which is 2 weeks! I wonder if the car and baby will arrive at the same time.

As for my pregnancy, I'm progressing really well. Gestational diabetes is virtually gone since I cut down my carb intake and limit the amount of fruits I eat. I even had apple crumble, ice cream and caramel slice!

Currently in my 35th week. Fel is arriving this Sunday which is perfect timing as my belly has dropped, Braxton Hicks contractions and I'm starting to get swollen feet. Some of the few early signs of labour which would mean baby is preparing to pop within the next few weeks!

Once Fel arrives we have appointments and activities back to back. Fel will be absolutely knackered. Within the next 10 days he will be in 5 different cities in 4 various countries! I hope I won't tire myself out too much as I've got my final 3d ultrasound, various doctors appointments I now see my obgyn weekly), orthodontic appointment, aquanatal, prenatal exercises, a wedding to attend, Baby & Pregnancy Expo to visit plus picking up baby's furniture and setting up my room! Then there's all the other little stuff that I have yet to buy like, baby detergent, baby shampoo/soap, disposable diapers, breast pads etc etc....the list is growing!

Perhaps, my next post you will see the photo of our little son!
