It's finally Spring in Melbourne! It's still relatively chilly outside, but we're definitely looking forward to warmer weather, and hopefully no more head colds! I think this has been the most sick we've been as a married couple, partially because I can't take a lot of medicines (like my beloved echinacea) while pregnant.

I also made another trip to the Emergency Care centre, a little over a month ago. Apparently having a low-lying and posterior placenta is not the best thing in pregnancy, and neither is bleeding. Fortunately I only had to stay in the hospital one night (although they wanted me to stay for two), and I was very grateful that Ben was around this time to hang out with me during visiting hours so I could win all the card games.

It was also our 2nd wedding anniversary, which was uneventful per usual.

We also got to celebrate Melbourne Day, the "180th birthday of Melbourne" (although I'm sure there's some controversy there). It's not a well-known holiday (most of our local friends had no idea), and I'd only heard about it through twitter. The Docklands put on a festival, which we assumed would see a fair to moderate turnout like they usually do - but it was in fact a zoo in our normally zombie-apocalypse-esque neighbourhood. Food trucks, fair booths, events at the library, and people crowding around the performance stage to see (apparently) famous bands rocking out.

| flags! free flags! |
It also happened to be a really really sunny day, a lot warmer than any other day in the season. We're definitely looking forward to (hopefully) many more warm days this season!
