It has come to my attention that my blog is receiving hits from the panelists of the 2009 Bloggies.
(Hi guys. There is a Best Of Sleepless Nights list if you’re interested in something that isn’t pregnancy and goop…)
What a thing to do to a person, right as she reaches the veeeery end of her pregnancy and therefore can’t write about anything else. I mean, do the panelists really want to know all about how I can’t seem to get un-pregnant? No, I don’t think they do.
Incidentally, for those of you keeping track, the cat? Yeah, she can’t seem to get un-pregnant either. I suppose I should just be grateful that she isn’t busily getting un-pregnant in my clothes drawers or something.You watch, I will finally have this baby, just to come home to a litter of kittens living under my dining room floor. Then what am I going to do?
So anyway, I’m just going to assume that I’m nominated in the Best Australian category (because that’s where Mr Lady told everyone to put me and I am forever grateful and if she didn’t live so far away I would TOTALLY make out with her a little).
I suppose if you come to a blog that has been nominated for Best Australian, you want to know all about Australia and stuff. I mean, I could point you to lots of different posts I have written, but seriously, this one already has more links than I normally do and I bet no one is following them either.
[Although the best of list? Worth reading if you like hearing about vibrators, or mouse schwacking, or any other number of things]
Really though, I’m Tasmanian and we tend to think that The Mainlanders are all a bit wanky. What with their giant cities and loads of desert and their petrol prices that are consistently lower than ours. Not to mention they all keep moving down here and NONE of them know how to navigate a roundabout properly (seriously though, you don’t need to indicate to leave the roundabout. IT’S TASMANIA. Follow OUR damn road rules) or drive on our dilapilated roads.
No really, they keep going and getting themselves killed. Sure our main highway is in pretty shitty condition, but is that any reason to drive like a maniac and kill youself? No. I didn’t think so either.
I suppose thinking that The Mainlanders are wanky makes up for them thinking we all have two heads. We don’t. However I am growing a penis at the moment and that is probably just about as weird as it gets. Although, I’m not sure ‘growing’ is really the correct term anymore seeing as how this baby is fully baked, he’s just kind of FREELOADING in there, making me nauseous and stretchmarkey.
See? I start off talking about Mainlanders and roads and everything still comes back to this baby not wanting to evacuate from my uterus. I should probably shut up now, right?
Right.
Hopefully the next time you hear from me, I will be posting photos of my newborn son. Until then, I think I’m going to need more chocolate.

I have an antenatal appointment today to check the little one’s growth. My last appointment he was looking a little skinny, but then when I was in for a labour check Monday they gave me an ultrasound and he had gained plenty of weight. Personally I think the growth check is a little bit of an overkill, but I am so ready to have them do it, simply to make sure that the last 5 days of on/off contractions haven’t stressed him or the placenta out.
Unlike me.

KIDDING!!!!!!!
Pias last blog post..Running Away
So, I was going though my reader and noticed that you put another post up today. Isn’t that like 3 in 24 hours now? Awfully productive of you.
Congrats on the nomination. I’ve yet to get one that goes anywhere. I loved reading about the roads there and how people kill themselves and how you tied that in with growing a penis! Isn’t growing a penis fun? Wait, no it is not I saw your last post with the photo of your poor belly… So cute but I am sure it is uncomfortable.
Mine is was smaller than yours but feels awful and annoying. I can only imagine how you are feeling and holy crap I am going to be there eventually too… WTF!!!
Talinas last blog post..Way to go Scott MacIntyre of Scottsdale, AZ!!
Congrats for your nomination but I have to rectify something. Mainlanders are not wanky, at least I wasn’t the last time I… went to bed.
Pardon the pun.
tiffs last blog post..Decisions…
oh LOL I just read your blog for the first time today and you had me in stitches hun! I’ve added you to my blogroll as I think you are brilliant!! All the best for your little boys arrival
Tanyas last blog post..A busy week
Congrats on the nomination! Fingers crossed you win.
Hope the checkup goes well. I know you’ll keep us updated. ((hugs))
Marylins last blog post..I’m free!!
Well done on the nomination – that’s given you something else to think about other than your tardy son eh?! Not too sure about your thoughts on us mainlanders, does being an Pom now living in WA give me a higher or lower status? Us West Aussies think all Eastern Staters are up ‘emselves and should stay over there and not come bothering us with their fancy ideas!
Fingers crossed today’s appointment moves the little cherub out
Ooops – that should be A Pom! It’s early, I’m still half asleep but such is my concern for you that I had to come check if anything had happened!
Good luck and seriously, what could be more entertaining than bloody show? I’m sure bubs is fine, natural contractions tend to not cause too much stress at all.

Congrats on the nomination! I hope that your son makes his exit soon….. names, yet?

Congrats! on the nom.
Sucks on the boyo being slow to show. However, it is good practice for when they are teenagers and you need them to just get ready already or catch the school bus or take out the garbage before the dogs find it completely irresistible and tear into it.
julies last blog post..2008 in Review. Part April. and the Daily Alaska.
I agree with Sharon about the Eastern Staters being up themselves, my L is from Melbourne and even though he’s been in Adelaide for quite a while, he’s constantly telling me how much better things are in Melbourne. Naturally, I tell him if he loves it there so much he can go back, I’ve even offered to buy him a ticket. One way of course. Will he go? No. Dammit!
They dont even include tasmania on lots of statistics or even weather reports on some stations.
I didnt know a lot of mainlanders had died on the roads? We know 3 people from here (tassie) who died on our roads in the past 12 months. I just went to the last funeral yesterday. So sick of it. The worst thing? All were under 28.
Anyway, I giggle when I see a car with mainland numberplates indicating when the road goes straight ahead, only round a corner!!! funny…
Cant wait to see newborn baby pictures xxx
Tanyas last blog post..Nesting
good luck

all i can say again is boys will be boys
Tazs last blog post..The First Smile..
Having driven a bit in England and Ireland (The Republic – not the North) I find I really like roundabouts. And I am starting to see them in this country and I think that’s a great idea. As a matter of fact, I may post a picture of a new roundabout which has recently been put in about a mile and a half West of where I live. Just because I can.
lceels last blog post..Friday Haiku – Women of Courage
Get that baby out of there already! Maybe hes a mainlander and your cervex is a roundabout. Im cold sorry my brain has frozen
Suzies last blog post..It’s Really Cold
Can I just say, the idea of you making out with Mr Lady…worthy of any award….
Xbox4NappyRashs last blog post..Oh the humanity
OH DEAR LORD! You do NOT want to see Americans using round-a-bouts. We are not trained, tested or learned in round-a-bout usage. Well, in my neck of the woods, anyway. Developers have decided that round-a-bouts are uber cool Euro and put them everywhere. Unfortunately, the 18-wheeler semi trucks can’t get through them, so go over them and most drivers have no idea what to do once they get in them. GENIUS. Sorry, I got sidetracked.
COME OUT BABY!!
Thanks for updating daily…otherwise we’d be left wondering if he’s come yet.
Hyphen Mamas last blog post..Ode to Youtube
I’m not surprised that you are nominated, I’ve been addicted to reading your posts since the first day I found your blog. I have my fingers crossed for you, hope he comes soon!
shygirls last blog post..crazy days
From what I’ve read on your blog, you deserve the nomination. Congratulations!
Baby, please come out soon. We are waiting for your arrival.
Joyce-Annes last blog post..Honest Scrap
Congratulations on the nomination! So excited for you.
I hope your sweet little one makes an appearance soon; quickly, and with ease
It’s been quiet all day – either that boy is working his way out or you’ve barricaded yourself in your clean bath with chocolate.
Congratulations on the nomination! I’m proud to say that I submitted a ballot nominating you. I hope you win!!! I’m also hoping that baby is on his way. I think he could be the most anticipated child on the internet.
