BLACK FRIDAY - My Get Real moment

Well, how can a day starting with good intentions and charity turn into something so horrible. I skipped Gymnastics with Dominic on Friday to take donations to Westfield Strathpine. We can't afford to donate to the bushfire victims so we collected all our old/second hand not needed dog stuff and donated it to the pet shop at Westfield to be sent to the animal victims of Victorian bushfires. I got home feeling extremely happy that we were able to help in some way, only to find my husband home from work. Mmmmm..........................this is odd at 11:30am on a friday. Col broke the bad news to me that the company he was working for was going into receivership at 5pm on Friday and they were ALL out of a job. No warning!!! To make things worse the boss couldn't afford to pay his wages for last week either. So is our Friday the 13th February, and Dejavu of him being made redundant when we are having a baby!
We now start the work search for him and go onto Centrelink payments which may help with small bills and groceries. Thanks to family (Thanks Mum!!) we are able to get by for the next few weeks. Luckily, all the bills due are lenient to give us a few weeks for Col to find a job. This is my get real moment.

But, I am lucky that I have a wonderful husband whom with a trade always seems to find a job. I am also blessed with a wonderful family and friends willing to help us through it. We are also blessed to have God whom I am sure has a reason for this happening. My faith sees me through at times like this and we are trying to focus on the positive side that Colin may find a better job out of this. We focus on the upcoming birth of our beautiful boy and hope all works itself out soon. Times like this my word for this year FAMILY................ is vitally important because we always pull closer together at these times and Colin is a wonderful support and Dad and we feel closer then ever before.

Sneak peek of Baby Tunney 3!

Well we saved up the money and got a 3D scan done on Saturday, wanted to get the best available done for my last pregnancy. My wonderful friend Chrissy offered to babysit the kids and I picked Colin up from work on the way through. My Mum, Colleen, Lorraine (Col's Mum) and my wonderful SIL Katherine came to peek too. Unfortunately, our baby boy had other ideas and didn't co-operate 100% I will post the photos we did get. He spent the whole time wiggling heaps but kept his face buried in the placenta snuggled up. Going to be snuggly like Dominic. His hand was on his face the whole time and he gave us a split second hello of his face then hid it again. I'm ok with him not facing up though because he is head down, bum up and facing the back with spine at my front. So he is in prime position to engage......which helps with the whole hoping he might come early thoughts. I think from the looks of him I didn't get much of a look in this time either............least there is no mistaking who Daddy is LOL!!
