You are currently driving around the house on your ride on fire truck. Today we went for a drive and ended up at a small market in Kilmore where you saw some chickens! After we left there you fell asleep in your car seat and woke up when we stopped for lunch in Woodend. Once we got home you built some towers with your giant Lego's while watching Dora the Explorer, your favorite. Your vocabulary is growing all the time. You have slept in all this week until after 7 am! (Thank you!!) You like to choose your own clothes and even which color cloth diaper/nappy you want to wear! Your favorite song is "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" because we sing it every week during swimming. You love going to your swimming lessons. We get there early so you have time to jump in a few times before the lesson starts. You love having 2 of your friends from playgroup in the class. I see progress in you every week. <br />
<br />
Thank you for being a fantastic little boy. We love you!Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08976233444022110989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6335264850210109303.post-74874962931461152822012-05-18T15:21:00.000+10:002012-05-18T15:21:50.346+10:00Easter Weekend 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Easter weekend was spent down in Bairnsdale with my Mother-in-law. We left early Friday morning, spent a lazy weekend with family and come home Monday. Benjamin looked for his first Easter egg and got to meet the Easter Bunny! We went to the Paynesville market where I got a bit too excited when I saw a stall selling MCN's (Modern Cloth Nappies)! Here are a few pictures from the weekend.<br />

<br />
It's been 2 years and 9 days since you've been gone. I miss you more and more each day. I wish you had gotten to meet Benjamin. You would have loved him, and he you. I'm glad you knew he was coming. I think about you often. I hope you are watching over us with Grandpa. <br />
<br />
Love you always and forever,<br />

<br />
Today, you are 19 months old. You have brought so much joy to our lives. I can't believe how fast you are growing up, how intelligent you are becoming and how much you make us laugh. You are coming up with new words every day. Your favorite things are playing with Chelsea and Andrew, watching Dora, and getting tickles. You love to eat fruit (but not vegetables). You are fantastic at identifying animals and even better at making their noises! (Your favorite noise to make is for a dinosaur -ROOAAARRRRR). You climb like a little monkey. You are constantly talking and your new favorite word is "stuck!" You have 14 teeth and still love drinking mommy's milk! You will bring me a pillow and blanket during the day when you want some. You will pick out which color cloth nappy you want to wear when it's time to get changed. You hate wearing socks (like me) but love to put shoes on. Thankfully you know that you need socks in order to wear shoes so you will put them on sometimes. You have beautiful blonde curls and are way above average in both height and weight. Thank you for being you. We love you!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Mommy and Daddy<br />
<br />

I tried timing them, but they were so erratic that I didn't think much of them. Saturday I had started leaking, but wasn't sure if it was amniotic fluid or not. Sunday, September 26, 2010 was the morning of my virtual baby shower. All my family and friends gathered at my parent's house and Paul and I joined them on cam. After the shower was over I called the hospital because I wanted to get checked out. Since I was GBS+ they had me come in right away. We made it to the hospital by 1:30 pm. They set me up in a bed and got me hooked up to the monitors. The midwife did an internal, asked the student midwife to look and asked her "Do you see that dark circle?". My first thought was "Oh my God! I have cancer!". Seriously. The midwife told me that I was at almost 4 cm, the head was right there, and the baby has some dark hair. I was incredibly happy to find out that I didn't have cancer, I was just in labor.<br /><br /> I was set up in a room by 2 pm, given antibiotics, and was told to go walk around but be back by 6 pm. We (Paul, Chelsea, Andrew and I) returned at 6 and I was given another round of antibiotics. The midwife (a different one this time) broke my waters and started the Syntocinon to help my contractions. The contractions started right away and got strong very quickly. So quickly that I barely had time to rest in between. At about 6:30 pm, Paul took the kids downstairs to get picked up by their Aunt. I had asked for gas for pain relief. The midwife set me up with it, told me how to use it, and left the room. The next contraction started and I started inhaling the gas, and started to feel sick. I stopped inhaling but it was too late - I ended up vomiting everywhere. Of course I was alone and had no idea what to do. Paul walked back in and saw me sitting up with a panicked look on my face. He told me afterward that he thought I had had the baby! He ran out and got the midwife and they came in and cleaned me and the room up. I was so embarrassed.<br /><br /> I started pushing around 8:10 pm. I pushed laying down in bed, I pushed while sitting over the toilet, and standing up leaning over the bed. Finally I wanted to get back into bed. I got a shot of Pethadine, but I was too far along and it did nothing to help the pain. I could remember thinking that I just wanted a c-section because it hurt so bad and didn't feel like I was making any progress. Finally he was born, and Paul yelled out "He's got a willy!". It was such an awesome feeling finding out the sex right then. I ended up with a second degree tear and some stitches, but never needed any pain medication other then the first lot.<br /><br /> Benjamin Ernest was born at 9:07 pm on September 26, 2010. He weighed 7 lb 9 oz and was 19 1/4 inches long. They placed him on my chest right away and then took him over to get cleaned up. It took about a minute for him to start breathing and then I heard that lovely cry. He was born face up so he came out extremely bruised.<br /><br />I took a shower up in the birthing room and then we walked upstairs to our room for the next 2 days. Benjamin slept most of that first night and, of course, I couldn't. I had to wake him up for feeds and he seemed to latch on pretty well. I did get some help from the nurses with breastfeeding, but all in all it went pretty well. He had a tongue-tie which we got cut at 3 weeks old. After that breastfeeding was much easier since he was able to move his tongue more.<br /><br />Here are a few pictures of him at birth, and now at 4 1/2 months (February 16, 2011).<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SDxE7hseZwA/TVsZVsCDLgI/AAAAAAAAAwc/qyk5ry68yPM/s1600/DSCN1620.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SDxE7hseZwA/TVsZVsCDLgI/AAAAAAAAAwc/qyk5ry68yPM/s320/DSCN1620.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574076824188825090" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ONLVfFlF33U/TVsZVQMS7MI/AAAAAAAAAwU/y5CcnWK8mDU/s1600/102_0591.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ONLVfFlF33U/TVsZVQMS7MI/AAAAAAAAAwU/y5CcnWK8mDU/s320/102_0591.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574076816715607234" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wWnnAp2MuIc/TVsZVJpW8gI/AAAAAAAAAwM/um1UFCc0VD8/s1600/102_0659.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wWnnAp2MuIc/TVsZVJpW8gI/AAAAAAAAAwM/um1UFCc0VD8/s320/102_0659.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574076814958457346" border="0" /></a>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08976233444022110989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6335264850210109303.post-23455793102103291252011-01-13T10:36:00.003+11:002011-01-13T11:04:51.466+11:00New Year, New CommitmentIt has been an incredibly long time since I last blogged. I am going to give a full update in one post as it will be easier. I am also going to start blogging more. At least I hope. I really had good ideas for this blog, but then life got in the way. Even though I don't have as much time as I did before, I WILL blog. Simple as that. It may not be everyday. Actually, I know it won't be everyday. I will aim for once a week. That will be my goal for 2011. To blog once a week. I promise.<br /><br />Anyway, here is what has happened since I last posted.<br /><br />I had a baby. If anyone still reads this, I'm sure you figured that out. Since my last post was about being 34 weeks pregnant. And no one would be 49 weeks pregnant. I will post my full birth story another time. Don't read it if that doesn't interest you. It's mostly for me. I want to have it written down so in the future I will be able to read it, instead of recalling on my faded memory of it. For now, here is the quick version.<br /><br />September 26, 2010 was my online baby shower. After the shower I went to the hospital to get checked out for leaking. I was told that I was 4 cm, the baby's head was right there, and I was going to give birth within the next 24 hours. I got a room at 2 pm, got my waters broken at 6 pm, started pushing at 8:10 pm, and Benjamin Ernest was born at 9:07 pm. We didn't know the sex of the baby before he was born and it was awesome hearing Paul yell out "He's got a willy!". The next baby will definitely be a surprise too. At birth, he was 7 lb 9 oz and 19 1/4 inches long. <br /><br />As of today he is 15 weeks and 4 days old (3 1/2 months). I measured him myself last week and he was at 15 lbs and 24 1/2 inches. He is growing like a weed and awesome in every way possible. He rolls front to back, loves to stand, has HUGE smiles, and a cute little bald patch on the back of his head. He is exclusively breastfed, we co-sleep (only until we get his mattress then we will start transitioning to his crib), I wear him in the Moby, and wears cloth diapers. He goes to bed between 8 and 9 pm, sleeps through until 3 - 4 am, has a quick feed and burp (15 minutes total), and goes back to sleep until 6:30-7 am when he starts fussing. To me, that is sleeping through the night and I love it.<br /><br />At 5 weeks old, my parents and sister flew over from Buffalo to meet him. They spent 2 weeks here that went way too quick. We did lots of sight seeing, but the best part was seeing them spend time with Benjamin.<br /><br />He's had his first Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year, even though they aren't all celebrated in Australia. He's been on the Great Ocean Road, to Bairnsdale, Raymond Island, Wonthaggi, Geelong, Portarlington, and Altona Beach. He's been to the waves pool, and the playground. Pictures are to come later.Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08976233444022110989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6335264850210109303.post-80574194823097831232010-09-08T15:05:00.003+10:002010-09-08T15:11:54.702+10:0034 weeks 3 days<b><br />How far along?</b> 34 weeks 3 days<br /><br /><b>Total weight gain/loss?</b> About 20 lbs gained.<br /><br /><b>Maternity clothes?</b> Yes<br /><br /><b>Stretch marks?</b> Nope.<br /><br /><b>Sleep?</b> Still getting up every 2 or so hours to pee and waking up for good earlier each day.<br /><br /><b>Movement?</b> Slowing down a bit.

Hopefully I remember to do them weekly!<br /><b><br />How far along?</b> 31 weeks 3 days<br /><br /> <b>Total weight gain/loss?</b> I don't know. They only weighed me at my first appointment.<br /><br /> <b>Maternity clothes?</b> Oh yeah. Although I do have some non-maternity shirts that still fit.<br /><br /> <b>Stretch marks?</b> Nope.<br /><br /> <b>Sleep?</b> Much better now that I'm over my nasty cold. Now I only wake up 3-4 times a night to pee instead of that plus waking up every ten minutes because I couldn't breathe/swallow.<br /><br /> <b>Movement?</b> All the time. Usually in the morning and evening I feel it the most with some occasional kicks throughout the day.<br /><br /> <b>Food cravings?</b> None right now. I haven't had many strong cravings. Most of the things I do want though are only available in the US so I can't even have them.<br /><br /> <b>Gender?</b> Unknown.<br /><br /> <b>Labor signs?</b> None, just an occasional Braxton Hicks contraction.<br /><br /> <b>Belly button in/out?</b> In. Shallower and flat on the bottom.<br /><br /> <b>What I miss:</b> Not much. There really isn't anything that I did before that I can't do now. Except maybe bend over comfortably to shave my legs more often. <br /><br /> <b>What I am looking forward to:</b> My midwife appointment tomorrow. Another ultrasound in 2 1/2 weeks. My shower at the end of September. Being able to finish buying all the baby items.<br /><br /> <b>Milestones:</b> Finally making it to 30+ weeks.

We are having a baby! I was 12 weeks on Easter Sunday (I'm now almost 27 weeks so you can see how much I've been slacking on this blog). It was super hard to hide because Paul's sister was living with us at the time. Somehow we managed though! Paul ended up calling his side of the family and telling them (they live about 4 hours away). Since I found out I was pregnant the first week of February, I knew how I wanted to tell my family. Paul and I both agreed to wait until I was 12 weeks before we told anyone and it just so happened to work out that Easter Sunday was 12 weeks. It worked out even better that my family was going to be at my parent's house to celebrate. We had planned to get on Skype together and I loved seeing their reaction. It was hard getting everyone in the same room and I thought our plan wouldn't work out. My aunt had to take her mother home so I asked her to wait and get everyone in the room because had a picture we wanted to show them. Finally everyone was there and I sent the picture via messenger. It took a few seconds for it to register with everyone what it was a picture of and then there was lots of screaming and crying and falling off couches! It was such a great feeling to be out and now have to keep the secret to ourselves anymore.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/TEaaZzKhTdI/AAAAAAAAAvA/p3lNfJ1qKWI/s1600/Amy%27s+Pictures+3410+115+edited.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/TEaaZzKhTdI/AAAAAAAAAvA/p3lNfJ1qKWI/s320/Amy%27s+Pictures+3410+115+edited.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496250163274010066" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Due October 17, 2010, gender is a surprise!Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08976233444022110989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6335264850210109303.post-23817124183078299542010-07-16T16:02:00.005+10:002010-07-16T16:22:01.442+10:00Happy Birthday Andrew!March 14th was Andrews 10th birthday! Since the kids birthdays are so close to each other (Chelsea's is March 7th) we spent the day at the zoo. It was my first time at the Melbourne Zoo.

I mean, I <span style="font-style: italic;">really</span> love the water. Whenever we go out on the weekend, I always request going to the water. We went to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakes_Entrance,_Victoria">Lakes Entrance</a> twice while down in Bairnsdale. The first time it was Lisa, Chelsea, Andrew, Jackson and myself. We took the kids to the trampolines and they had a great time. We then stopped at this wonderful ice cream place. It was amazing! We finished off the day by walking down to the beach. We had to walk over a long bridge, and up a big hill, but it was worth it! The second time we went it was Paul, myself and the kids along with Lisa, Karen, and Betty. We went straight to the beach. The kids brought their suits this time and loved going in the water!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jilRyw51I/AAAAAAAAAmI/h-fd2XGS5iw/s1600-h/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+122.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jilRyw51I/AAAAAAAAAmI/h-fd2XGS5iw/s320/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+122.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433842080481863506" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jikzZKvBI/AAAAAAAAAmA/6kRx6nd9A9M/s1600-h/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+130.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jikzZKvBI/AAAAAAAAAmA/6kRx6nd9A9M/s320/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+130.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433842072321440786" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jiktzBJgI/AAAAAAAAAl4/7gvAK2Pu3jo/s1600-h/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+131.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jiktzBJgI/AAAAAAAAAl4/7gvAK2Pu3jo/s320/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+131.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433842070819251714" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jhqrGD3wI/AAAAAAAAAlw/1wuUxTFqGiM/s1600-h/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+136.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jhqrGD3wI/AAAAAAAAAlw/1wuUxTFqGiM/s320/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+136.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433841073661402882" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jhqOcovXI/AAAAAAAAAlo/amWtjq8oP-I/s1600-h/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+139.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jhqOcovXI/AAAAAAAAAlo/amWtjq8oP-I/s320/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+139.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433841065971465586" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jhp2XGszI/AAAAAAAAAlg/oGA5NtlVxs0/s1600-h/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+147.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jhp2XGszI/AAAAAAAAAlg/oGA5NtlVxs0/s320/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+147.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433841059505812274" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jhpfU1hGI/AAAAAAAAAlY/FycQ95_QBdM/s1600-h/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+150.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jhpfU1hGI/AAAAAAAAAlY/FycQ95_QBdM/s320/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+150.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433841053322282082" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jho41CcYI/AAAAAAAAAlQ/xVNCH1aMt8c/s1600-h/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+154.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jho41CcYI/AAAAAAAAAlQ/xVNCH1aMt8c/s320/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+154.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433841042988364162" border="0" /></a>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08976233444022110989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6335264850210109303.post-38519060929863262272010-02-03T12:23:00.003+11:002010-02-09T16:51:51.114+11:00Kangaroo Searching - BuchanWe went to Buchan to find some kangaroos, but had no luck. We did manage to see a wallaby though! While we went through the caves, Paul was napping in the car. He told us when we were done that he thought he saw a kangaroo hop across the road, but couldn't be certain. We went to look in the direction he pointed. Paul, Andrew and I climbed up a big hill but came up empty. We went back down and started heading towards the car. I wanted to take a few pictures of the small creek and as I walked over, I heard a rustle in the bushes. A wallaby hopped out! I was so excited! That was what Paul had seen hop across the street. It was very thirsty and kept drinking from the creek. It even let Andrew get pretty close!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jQ8nbFCEI/AAAAAAAAAlI/7iFu2taUbuI/s1600-h/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+102.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jQ8nbFCEI/AAAAAAAAAlI/7iFu2taUbuI/s320/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+102.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433822690215790658" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jQqM2rsRI/AAAAAAAAAlA/WC24DLrfsu0/s1600-h/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+103.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jQqM2rsRI/AAAAAAAAAlA/WC24DLrfsu0/s320/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+103.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433822373846167826" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jQp-qkq8I/AAAAAAAAAk4/rDSgQOHjstI/s1600-h/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+105.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jQp-qkq8I/AAAAAAAAAk4/rDSgQOHjstI/s320/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+105.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433822370037279682" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jQpT1UT3I/AAAAAAAAAkw/qRc1HQ_5qdk/s1600-h/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+106.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jQpT1UT3I/AAAAAAAAAkw/qRc1HQ_5qdk/s320/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+106.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433822358539620210" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jQpLqc79I/AAAAAAAAAko/FJQ6oe9Nfc8/s1600-h/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+111.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jQpLqc79I/AAAAAAAAAko/FJQ6oe9Nfc8/s320/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+111.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433822356346564562" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jQo9sjAVI/AAAAAAAAAkg/9XezmoV29dE/s1600-h/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+113.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S2jQo9sjAVI/AAAAAAAAAkg/9XezmoV29dE/s320/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+113.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433822352597254482" border="0" /></a><br />You can see the wallaby in the bottom right<br />corner drinking.Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08976233444022110989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6335264850210109303.post-52727275661312835892010-02-03T12:01:00.009+11:002010-02-09T16:53:11.790+11:00Royal Cave - BuchanI had never been in a cave before. Never. I don't know why. I probably was never offered the opportunity. When we went kangaroo searching at Buchan we decided to go through one of the caves. Paul stayed in the car because his knees were hurting him, but Lisa, Chelsea, Andrew and I went through the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buchan_Caves">Royal Cave</a>. It was beautiful. Although it felt cool when we first walked in, it was very humid. I would definitely go back and go through the Fairy Cave.<br /><br />Our tour guide told us that about 6 weeks earlier, a wedding was held in the cave. I have no idea how she would have gotten through while wearing her dress, since there were many tight spaces.

I don't see much where I live because it's a built up area. Kangaroos aren't just going to hop down the main street. We saw more wildlife then usual down in Bairnsdale since it's out in the country. In order to see koalas though, we went to Raymond Island. We took the ferry over and had fine driving around looking for them. In all we saw 17 koalas, including one baby, a wallaby, and a kookaburra! We also got invited by a creepy man into his garage to see his train set. He built it himself over the past 11 years. It was very cool to see, even if the man was weird. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S1z0jgJW5RI/AAAAAAAAAio/k3rd6FP2WqM/s1600-h/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+012.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S1z0jgJW5RI/AAAAAAAAAio/k3rd6FP2WqM/s320/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+012.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430484141463758098" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S1zzdD6MZ8I/AAAAAAAAAig/jU5v9SKS7dc/s1600-h/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+015.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S1zzdD6MZ8I/AAAAAAAAAig/jU5v9SKS7dc/s320/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+015.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430482931293120450" border="0" /></a><br />I wanted to get a better picture of the<br />kookaburra, but when I turned around to take<br />the pic, it was gone.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S1zzc7SaZNI/AAAAAAAAAiY/OaOB9gl7PS8/s1600-h/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+020.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zBug_W5xWGE/S1zzc7SaZNI/AAAAAAAAAiY/OaOB9gl7PS8/s320/Amy%27s+Pictures+180110+020.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430482928978781394" border="0" /></a><br />Paul spotted this wallaby alongside the road<br />while Chelsea and I were walking around<br />looking at all the koala's.
