I have some new pictures to post as well so bear with me as this will be a longwinded one. As I mentioned everyone is over our illness; which is good because this friday I am going to my interview at asda.
I've been doing artwork like mad too; and have new pictures posted on my Deviantart webpage. Points to link to the left of this post!! <---
For those of you computer illiterate i will post one or two of those pictures here :) Especially the one of natasha and of the watercolor I did.
Other things that are going on is having my 12 week appointment with my midwife last weekend. I told her about wanting to birth at home and she said that wouldn't be a problem. She told me the proceedures they normally go through; and it was all very informative. I got an up to date list on the foods I shouldnt eat; reccomended by the english government and I found some of the differences amusing. Not once did they mention sacrin; but that's becaue it's banned over here from all food products!
Some of the other 'fake' sugars aren't but I just avoid them anyway. I don't like the taste of them; especially when i'm pregnant. Also, while at the medwife's I got to hear the baby's heart beat; which was a real joy to me.
Alex and I are discussing ways of me to promote my art more; and with a job I should be able to have a bit of money to spend on advertising. But what we want to do even more is get a car, and alex driving lessons.
We're hoping to succeed in this before 2008. That's our years family goal; that and going on a vacation together. :)
Also if i'm both able to work and do commision artwork it just means more money for us to do these things listed above. I know it seems like a lot to juggle, but it's already 9 am and I have cleaned the kitchen the bedrooms, hovered, and the front room is spotless. I've even done another load of laundry, had breakfast, did alex's breakfast/lunch, and put the baby down to bed for her morning nap (a few minutes ago). If I can multi-task like that I know I can juggle a job, family, housework and art. It's not easy but it makes my days much more busy and productive.
Speaking of artwork, my mother wants me to do some illustrations for her Clinic which I think will be great for portfolio pieces and my reputation I'm trying to build out here. I'm really excited to get started on them, and I'm basically waiting for the go-ahead and picture references from my mother. I should also be getting my Human Anatomy instructional DVD's in the mail any day now, and this will be a great advantage when trying to help my mother do her pictures.
I still haven't fit in exercising in the day, except perhaps a walk to the park with Natasha when I get a chance. Most of my days are so busy now, I just try to walk to and from errands in order to get my exercise.
Ok the only other exciting plans for the week is seeing our friends at teh weekend for a dinner get-together. They are moving away and it will be sad to see them leave, but it will be fun to see them this weekend anyway.
Oh there is one more thing I forgot! Alex has started a DND group again, which has really lifted his spirits as he gets to see some of his friends once a week. Just because he is a father and workds doesnt mean he cant have friends and buddies. I even agreed to sit down and play with him, however I can't really play for like a 5 block session as they like to do because I have to take care of Natasha and cook dinner ect.
So now that I've blabbered on, it is time for the photos of me and my daughter :)
Alex took this second picture late last night of me..so it's a bit blurry. I was playing with the hampster.
