Everyday Hero Page

We had our baby shower a few weeks ago and it was plenty of fun! The best bits were seeing our friends (some we don't get to see very often) and playing with all the little children that came along!

At the party, Will and I were given lots of really cute and beautiful baby gifts! I still need to take photos and post them on this blog (they already feature on our Facebook page). Lots of cute little clothes, our baby will be very well dressed :)

We've also had so many friends and family wanting to buy us gifts or give us money, very generous! But we really don't need anything, we have more than enough. We discovered Everyday Hero and were very excited when we saw that Crusaders was one on the charities we could support.

As stated on their website:

Crusaders is a not-for profit Christian youth organisation established in 1930, running over 50 CRU Holiday Camps per year for students in school years 3-12. With over 2400 campers and over 700 volunteer leaders they are the largest provider of Christian holiday camps in Australia.

WillnDan's Baby and Crusaders!

WillnDan are expecting their first baby on 20 July 2008, God willing everything goes well! We are extremely grateful and thankful for and to all our friends who have given us baby gifts and those who have asked us what we need as they would like to buy something for our baby. We created this Everday Hero page because we believe God has and will continue to provide everything for us and our baby. Our only prayer is for our baby to one day come to know, love and fear God and thankfully accept Jesus Christ as her personal saviour. We chose Crusaders because we want to see all children come to know and love our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!

We have created an Everyday Hero page for our baby! So instead of gifts we would prefer it if friends gave to Crusaders through our Everyday Hero Page instead.

Thank you!

Flemington Direct

I've already posted this on my Facebook page but I thought I might include here on the blog as well as it's related to baby stuff! Seeing as a baby will restrict my movements for awhile, I discovered Flemington Direct, a fruit and vegetables delivery service.

I've noticed that the fruit and vegetables at Woolworths and Coles have been a bit blah lately, so I've started buying from Flemington Direct again. This week, Will and I ordered a Movers box, a box of fruit and vegs recommended for singles and couples... it cost us $47 including delivery.

This is what we got:

- 1 Rockmelon


- 1 packet of bean sprouts


- 2 Japanese pumpkin quarters


- 1 red capsicum


- 1 yellow/orange capsicum


- 1 eggplant


- 4 zucchinis


- 1 big Baby Bok Choy


- 1 packet of green beans


- 1 bunch of shallots


- 1/2 celery bunch


- 3 passionfruits


- 9 potatoes


- 1/2 cauliflower


- 8 red apples


- 6 bananas


- 2 broccoli heads


- 8 pears


- 7 mandarins


- 4 tomatoes

I was having troubles getting my order through the Internet so I called their Customer Service line, she helped me put through my order and told me that I if I wanted more fruits and vegies I should take out items that take up a lot of room like lettuce and celery as they go by how much they can fix in the box rather than what goes into the box.... Sounded good to me cos Will and I don't eat a lot of salads in winter... so I added some baby bok choy, an eggplant and some shallots.. plus a rockmelon... the default fruit would have been a pineapple (I have no idea how to cut open a pineapple nor do I want to know, I just eat the canned variety usually on top of a pizza).

I would have liked more bananas, so next time I will ask for 2 servings.. or head over to a local fruit store.

Will post up what I cook with these goodies!

In other news.. Babies Galore is having a sale! Yah I need to pick up a mattress protector and a cot sized Living Textiles quilt (I have the cover but no quilt!).

Small Baby

I am up to week 34/35, we went for an ultrasound last week and have found that our baby is on the small size, at birth she should weigh about 2.6- 2.8kgs.. at first I was quite anxious (I admit I still am!) but the doctor has said it's due to the baby being a girl and cos we are Asian (he is Asian himself and his own baby girls weighed 2.6 and 2.7 kgs)... anyway I have to go for another ultrasound next week to make sure the baby is still growing and also visit the Mater Hospital every weekend for CGT (?) scans.....we keep praying that God keeps the baby well and that we keep trusting Him!

Anyway at the ultrasound it was confirmed... the baby is indeed a girl! YAH!

Some Pictures!

Modern Cloth Nappies! I need more of these but they are expensive at first, they work out cheaper in the long run though (than disposables) especially if you have more than one child.. I need to save up for some more! So cute and they look easy to use......
