23 Weeks

Okay, a quick update.

This weekend we took a trip way out west and went shopping for a few of the big baby things. The plan was to get the cot, pram and car seat - so coming back with a cot, pram and change table was somewhat of a surprise, especially considering how indecisive we usually are. We also bought a funky turtle thing that hangs from the ceiling - cute!

Today we had a proper think about names.....not that we are going to share any quite yet, but suffice to say we have few up our sleeves.

We are going to make this a short update but will have more to say soon.

So finally, have attached the latest pic of the mumma to be....definitely looking bigger and I would say a noticable difference from the previous pics on the blog.

If anyone wants to have a guess at a name for the baby feel free to post a guess or email and who knows we may even list a few on the next update.

The Little Squirt

So since last time a couple of things have started to happen....some good and some weird!!

So lets start with the good things....baby is doing sommersaults, kicking, punching, head butting and god knows what else inside my belly. It feels like tiny bubbles going off inside, not like the bad wind bubble feeling, its actually a nice feeling.

Last weekend we had to say goodbye to Aunty Al as she ventured overseas to the UK for a year or two, below is a piccie of her, baby belly smith and i at the airport, she was pretty upset cause she had to leave behind her half a kilo can of hair spray (They wouldnt let her through customs with it, as it looks like a rocket launcher)!!

You'll all be happy to know she made it there safely after taking two sleeping pills and snoring the whole way, waking up dribbling on the two "hot" guys next to her....typical Al. And we hear it hasn't taken her long to introduce herself again to the inlaws already apparently bum dancing at the Kings nightclub with Aunty Sarah!! (and funnily enough dribbling over the two hot guys....again!)

As for me not much bum dancing going on back here at Kingsway, just alot of forgetfullness - from what I remember! The other day i embarassed myself by slightly running in front of a row of 20 people or so at the bus stop, then following simon right to the back of the bus only to realise as i sat that the fly on my jeans was down.... my nice undies on display for all to see. We also had the Obstetrician (not sure of speeling) appointment last week, everything is still good and on track, although he seems to think the extra 7kg i have put on is a little high....woopsi...maybe i should start exercising now.....

On friday we started sorting out babies room, cleaned out all the junk that we hoarded from our last place and made decisions on what we are going to do. After spending about an hour in bunnings warehouse we decided we are going to paint some stuff and make it look baby'ish. Big, but hopefully fun task. We'll show you some piccies once done.

Anyway happy Easter everyone, hope you all eat lots of choccies from the easter bunny....and until next time bye bye...
