BABY

So yesterday saw me heading for my first ultrasound with this baby....about time i say!!! Only 22 weeks gone now and it is so busy around here with no doctors that i have only just been able to get in :(. I have put a profile shot here of the baby, not a very good one, but proud of it anyway......I think he/she knows i am telling all about it as while i am typing this i am getting a good boxing!! active little begger!!

I hope that some of you can make it out, we had a bit of trouble doing things as the baby had its knees tucked to its stomach and its hands cupped over its face, like a little boxer!!

Seth and Lexi are so excited, they loved to see the photo, not that it made much sense to them but they knew that they were looking at the baby that is in mums belly!!

I am really waiting for the movement to get physical enough that they can feel baby kicking and moving around as they would really get a grasp of things.

So lets just hope that the whole doctor thing works out.... I know i am praying!! It is really frightening really. AND i found out the other day that because there is no doctor in Cleve which is where we come back to be after having the baby for a few days (in the hospital), we arent allowed to come back!!! Now i am cross. I cant believe it!! There is no way that all of the family will stay in whyalla for four or more days while we are in hospital after the birth. It is always nice coming home to a hospital that has friendly faces, and now we cant do it. And what makes it worse is every two years we have a baby competition to raise money for the maternity rooms in the hospital, and we have just had one and made HUGE money and now no one can use the rooms!!!!!! AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!

PUFFED OUT!

Ok So it has been nearly three weeks since i have posted i am sorry, but you want to know how i am I AM EXAUSTED!!!!! I have been involved in a minature deb ball here in Rudall. I didnt do a lot for it other then ....be the photographer!!! OMG, i was shocked when asked to do it, although it was a privledge, i was sooooo nervous never doing anything like this before. Dont get me wrong professionall photography is something i have always wanted to get into but it is the first thing i have done, and wow what a blast.

Ispent three days of last week helping to set up the venue for the night and watching practices so that i could work out photos to take. Then the day leading up to it i was so nervous that i didnt eat a lot and this wasnt real good. Once i started snapping away with the pics i felt really good. I took lots of photos and i think they came out really well. I guess the more i do this sort of thing then the more i will know and learn, and the better i will get. But in the end it worked out well!! YAY for me. I have had a couple of mothers call and tell me that they thought i did a wonderful job and that makes me feel good a bout it too. So on to bigger and better things....i Hope!!

The whole job just took a lot out of me but it was all good in the end!!

That is enough about the farm, what else can i tell you all. I have spent the last week cleaning my house, and yard. We planted a vegie garden which i have been so excited about, just hope that i can get some vegies out of it. We did that on our anniversary....which by the way did i mention that i was a little spoiled and got an eternity ring, 18ct gold with 8 princess cut diamonds, it is just beautiful:)

I have been lucky enought to spend a bit of time in my scrap room over the last few days, now that i can get in there. I am getting a couple of my albums up to date and then i am going to go for it and get scrapping what i want to do. And i have some OTP's that i want to do and then start on the chrissy presents which i need to start thinking about seen as though christmas is only around the corner. Speaking of i wrapped all of my christmas presents last night. Only 2 more to buy and a couple of things to make and i am all done. Thank god.

I guess i better update you all on my pregnancy too. I am.......hang on i have to work it out......i will be 20 weeks on friday. I cant believe i lost count already, and believe me i am growing. The doctor situation is all messed up here at the moment so it is a bit daunting as to what is going to happen. I have booked an appointment to see the doctor in whyalla. But i cant get in there until the 29th of october either and that is the date of our first ultrasound!! i cant believe it, so it will be a bit past the 20 week date but there isnt much else i can do about it. I guess we have to do what we can. I am looking forward to that. Daniel keeps laughing and telling me that we will have twins....he is just stirring i guess we will soon get that straight. I must take some photos of me soon, i never took photos of me pregnant with the other kids.... i dint know why?? so i look forward to scrapping that a bit too.

Here is a peek at one of the latest pages i

have done. It is of seth for a monochramatic

challenge, it was intersting to try something

different. I will post a few more once i get them done over the next few days, i am going to go on a SCRAPPING SPREE!!

ON THE FARM!

So it is almost harvest time here, the weather hasnt been as nice to us as we would have hoped. Would have liked a lot more rain, but these things happen. So i guess it will be back to delivering luch to daniel on the tractor every day. YAY!! it is not one of the best things to do, just a bit annoying. Never Mind. I guess it is all a part of the job and that is what farming is all about. I dont know if we will ever own any of our own land. Would like to maybe....i would really like to have my own house, that is my goal. A farm actually came up for sale and the house and surrounds that come with it are great they would fit all that we need in, only a small bit of land to start with too. I thought it would be a good idea to look into but then daniel said that the land isnt real good soil so it isnt worth it......bummer!! sounded good at the time.

Well i am back already, i didnt think that i would make it back so soon. Lunch didnt happen bit of a bummer, will do it tomorrow instead, cant wait for that. So i thought i better get straight back on here and finished what i started.

Lets start with my netball. I continued to play while i was pregnant and we went through to win the GRAND FINAL!!! YAY for us!! We have been in 5 of the last 6 grand finals and this is the first on that we have been lucky enough to win.

I was even lucky enough to get the coaches trophy to. I was so happy with that as i tried really hard this year and got my fitness to a level it has never been before. i really tried hard and that proved to get harder at the end of the year, being pregnant and all. I was a bit dossapointed that i couldnt celebrate like i wanted to but it was a sacrafice that i had to make. I just cant wait until i tshirts are all made up as these things dont come around too often. I am going to treasure it.

So i promised you that i would update you all today with this and the day is not over yet, but i have visitors coming for lunch so i better go and get organised and i will finish my task this afternoon. Please dont go away i have so much to tell you all!! C U Soon XX

MEET THE FAMILY!

Ok so here we are, "Let's get this Party Started!!" I want to go back to the basics and start with introducing you all to me and the family. So here we all are, one at a time.

This is me, Carlie Hutchins. I am a SAHM of two and a half. That is right i am pregnant, almost 5 months now, and am i excited you ask.....some days yes and some days no. Just those days when the children i already have DRIVE ME CRAZY, as they all do at some time or another. So i am proud mum of already DS Seth 3 1/2 and DD Lexi 2 1/2. They are the two most gorgeous kids i know (not that i am bias...LOL). I am an active person, usually (not so much at the moment) i love sport and shopping (who doesnt) and of course scrapping.

Now please meet my DH of one year (only the other day-7th october) Daniel.
He is a darling, we have been together for nearly 8 years, so i guess you could say that we were high school sweet hearts, although he was finished school when i did year 12. We met at a young age and havent looked back since. Daniel works as a farm hand, and loves his job. It is on a farm in Rudall, Lower Eyre Peninsula. Also he works part time cutting brush to help out his father. Daniel is loving, kind, warm and caring. He loves his children and some days i wonder if he is one of them too. He gets a bit carried away with them some days, but it is so nice to see.

Ok so here are my angels!! Yes you are right seth is on the left. He is a real little boy, as you can see on the motorbike already (AND ONLY 3) i tell you sometimes i cant watch him it is a bit frightening. He is a BRUISER!! there is no other way to describe him. Some days he really looks out for his little sister and other days he is the one that she needs to look out for!!
Lexi well she is our little princess in the family, but i always say there is only one word that i can use to fescribe her as beautiful as she is and that is "DAG". She loves to get in front of the camera, so you can imagine the pages i gewt to play with. She is sweet and innocent, but i think she is getting to the stage that she is not always the innocent one, i think that she plays on it a bit and we are starting to wise up to that.



I couldnt ask for much more really, i have almost the perfect family..... it just isnt quiet complete. We have some animals, a beautiful labradore pup, LULU and a cat (who thinks he owns the place), PLONKY and we are getting together a large range of birds in the avairies that we are building.


Yes she is cute, i really dont like what she has done to my garden though. She is about 12 months older than this now so she has settled down too. I will post some pics of my birds and cat later as i dont have one readily available.

But there you go that is my family and i guess the first part of you learning about me and my hectic life.

Ok so here i am as i said i would be, trying to get everything back on track. I do apologise sincerely to all of you who do make the effort to visit the blog to keep updated, as i havent done this to keep you informed. Please forgive me :(
