5 days.....

And today marks the five day check point until the for casted due date of my wee babies arrival into this World.
FIVE DAYS!! I can hardly believe it on one hand and on the other I am dying for this little one to arrive. To come into our lives and teach us what it is to be selfless, humble and joyous in just the mere glance at our little child.

I am so excited for our little one to meet his or her Dad too. He is wonderful. And although his nerves have been on edge and I can sense his anxiety in the babies arrival, I know he will be great!! I know our little pin ball wizard will love his Dad's sense of humour, his adventurous soul and his heart that grows with each sunny day and kick that our little bundle to be produces.

So 4 more sleeps....wrest less, uncomfortable, tossing and turning sleeps.

6 days and counting.

Yep! That's right! 6 days... Sleep is getting tougher at night. I'm not sure if it is the discomfort of this little monkey hanging on for dear life to my rib cage or of course if the anxiousness of my mind racing that keeps my eyes a flutter. Well fingers crossed that this wee one wants to come visit us early so Momma at least has company while she's awake. :)

One week until the final departure....

And here we are....ONE WEEK TO GO!!!


As I sit here, or should I say not at all sitting, wandering aimlessly my mind is brought back into the thoughts of the past nine months. 
Over the past nine months I have been growing this little pin ball inside me and loving almost every minute. The most amazing thing is feeling the wizard making his/her debut in the pin ball world. Bouncing, kicking, hick ups, all of the little movements that remind me that this bump I am carrying isn't simply a large meal or a weekend of indulging in my favourite treats. 
 In one week, fingers crossed, this bundle will be making it's departure from the cozy comforts of me and arrive into this wide World. We, my hubby and I, are so excited to finally meet him or her it is hard to keep still and get the rest everyone so insistently keeps instructing me to "get now, it will be the last time you will get it for a long long time". 


However, the anxiousness and of course sense of anxiety that has been slowly approaching inside of my mind is now here full on! I know in my heart that all will be as it will be. We will accept all that comes with this new adventure and although anxious, the excitement is overwhelming. 


I can't wait to see the little one in this world. To meet us both, to learn and grow with us. To meet their wonderful Dad and all of the fun that he is and will bring to such a sweet little ones life each and every day. To bring this past nine months to an end and on to the next mountain in our baby's life's adventure.


7 days and counting until I get to hold this little one in my arms and wrap my heart wholly around this experience. Around this tiny little life that will be ours to care for and nurture with all of our being until they take the adventure into their own grown hands with vim and vigor.


Come on little Pin Ball Wizard....we are counting down......7.....

Diamond in the rough...

ENGAGED!!! That is right! My man proposed on Sunday, March 13th. We have done life a bit...or completely...backward. First we meet, ok that's normal. Then we move in together...Reno our entire new dwelling. Then low and behold we are pregnant!! YAYA!! Then move to court-ordering the Ex (his not mine) out of the mix. Now mere weeks away from welcoming our first baby together we are engaged!! We are extactic!! Who knows when, where or how our big wedding ( not at all big & totally informal)will take place. But either way we are excited for that path! Not to say our lives together have been easy and smooth sailing, however the smooth parts are fantastic and the bumps just add to our journey. So there World...we went through the back door and two off beat people have concurred a lifetime of stress only to end up at the blissfully beginning. We found one another and will always think of each other as diamonds in the rough. And to symbolize this the ring that my beloved chose for us is a stunning rough diamond custom built for our love. ***by the way...baby x's countdown is at 3weeks exactly today! ***

Wandering Sherpa: My heart and thoughts go out to the Orient

Wandering Sherpa: My heart and thoughts go out to the Orient: "As I awoke this morning after a nice sleep (finally...as I don't get too many comfy sleeps these days) I went from task to task bright eyed ..."

Countdown to destination LIFE.....

You probably don't know, but right now I am taking the trip of a lifetime.
Have been for the past 8 months.....and now we are on our countdown to destination life. We are expecting a life changing trip for both me and my Mr. X.....our first baby. 
So as of now the countdown is on!! One month to go and so far the travels have been smooth sailing....Phew. 
As the end does near however the excitement and nerves set in for where this boat will take us.Will everything go smoothly, will we be good travellers, will the journey be as much fun with 3 as it was with 2?  The anticipation is almost driving me batty!! =D 
We don't yet know whether our wee guide will be a little lad or a lass so we are prepared for both and are excited regardless.

This trip has been like no other and I would highly suggest this journey to anyone! Fun and full of surprises! At each turn there is a new lesson and new photo's to have imprinted in your mind as you grow, the baby grows and your relationship it put through the test of time, patience, and support. 

So I thought it would be fun to countdown together......So here we are.....WEEK 36!!! EEEEK!!!! Getting bigger and bigger and the room our little swimmer has is lessening and perhaps cramping the style of wee baby to be.





****3 WEEKS & 4 DAYS until our departure from this spot and onwards to the next destination.......PARENTHOOD!!****

The Beginning.

Hello there, my name is Paisley Campbell and I have decided that I have far too many opinions and reviews in this head of mine to keep to myself any longer. I will be posting blogs (I am very very new to this, so any constructive criticisms is helpful) that pertain mostly to my travels. Travels abroad, travels locally and travels through day to day life. I am an absolute " Foodie" so my delicious feasts will be showcased and hopefully described in a way you will want to get there and feast yourself.....dining is always more enjoyable with others. :) So sit back, relax and please be patient with me as I am a blogger in training. I will hopefully bring you to wonderful scenes and flavours that will be a delightful addition to your day. Cheers Paisley Roberts
