Sebastian Anthony Jon finally decided to enter the world, 8 days late, on 16th August at 23:23pm. He weighed 8lbs 8oz and measured 51cms long. The labour was a very long 20 hours and very stressful but the end result is totally worth it.

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been another whole year. Carl and I have been together for 6 years. It’s so amazing how fast time goes by, and soon we will have our own little family, it’s all really overwhelming.

Whenever I look at old couples in love, shopping together, I get happy just thinking how sweet they look and how I hope that’s how Carl and I look in another 30 years. I admire those relationships that stand the test of time and that are still so strong. Here’s to another year, and many more to come!

Last weekend I went with Carl to our accountant to do our tax return. I’m pretty sure we usually do a combined return every other year, I never really paid attention since I was only a student and would get nothing back. When we got there the accountant told us we had to do each tax return seperately. So that meant we would be charged a fee each so double the charge didn’t sound very good to us.

I was only expecting around $500 back as I had only worked 8 months of the financial year and honestly didn’t think I had paid much tax. I was shocked when she told me the final figure. Over triple what I expected! I’m getting more tax back then Carl and he is the main income earner.

I am going to be responsible with the money though, with over 70% going towards bills and debts, but the remaining; I can do whatever I want with it. And since I have all the baby stuff I need, I’m thinking post-pregnancy fashion shopping spree!
