:: here's to feeling a bit Maroon-5-y ::

So a couple of weekends ago my friend Donna and I finally got to use the tickets we'd been sleeping with holding in our hot little hands for months, and road-tripped to Melbourne to watch Maroon 5 perform live here in Australia!

The place was crazy full and we were crazy starving. So eventually we found some tucker and made our way quick-smart to our seats.

The super gorgeous Don and moi (I don't look too crazy-pumped do I??).

First up was actually "The Cab". I hadn't heard their music before, but they had a good sound. They were from Los Angeles.

Following The Cab were Evermore which were very popular with me back 5 years or so ago. They were very 'authentic' and put on a good show:

One corner of the crowd in one of the breaks:

Then finally - Adam. The backstage screen flickered the big "M" and the crowd went mad. You couldn't hear a thing. Baby starting 'kicking' (like 'tap, tap') for the first time. Not surprised!

Had an absolutely epic time. They played lots of old songs and all the hit new ones. They wrapped up with "Moves Like Jagger" which was just perfect.

The ringing ears & carpark jam afterwards was completely worth it.

I took a couple of short videos with my camera, thinking the sound would be too loud for it, but they actually turned out rather well. So I'm wishing I filmed for longer...

:: approaching halfway ::

This coming weekend I'll be 18 weeks. Just 2 more to halfway!

I might.... might have felt my first 'movement' today too! People are always asking if I've felt anything, but I think a lot of the time I'm just not paying attention to my belly (it's always gurgling away anyway). This time though, I felt a different feeling - twice within seconds. It was like a warm "bloop"... a smooth sort of quick thing. Very hard to explain.

Not a lot else has changed since the last post. I bought a pair of maternity black skinny jeans which I love..

I'll tell you what else I bought today (actually I'll show you). Chocolate. Chocolate is still VERY much my friend, and although I can GUARANTEE to you that I have not been going berserk with it, this is what I bought today:

They were only $1.90, what was I supposed to do??? And all these types that I hadn't tried.
Don't worry, I usually only get them out when there are a few people over to assist me in devouring it. I also often give them away when someone has helped us with a housey thing (lent us their trailer, delivered some mulch, etc etc). So it's all for a good cause ;) ;).

My weekend is starting off on a very, very exciting note tomorrow night.
I'M GOING TO SEE MAROON 5 LIVE!!!

EEEEEEP!!!

They are finally touring Australia, and I was so fortunate to have a friend who is equally keen to hear Adam Levine sing in that 'only' voice that he has. So, so pumped :). Plus they are supported by Evermore (which I did like for a while there) and The Cab (which I am yet to 'research' before tomorrow night). I hope we get good seats and I can get some good piccies to share. It's going to be MASSIVE.

Hope your week has been great, and not as wet and freezing as mine.
