the dad called today.  what a great guy, who would have thought he would turn out to be such a trooper. And it seems he will be back in time to welcome little one into the world.  Happy days :)

bubbles!!

so.  im pretty sure i felt mini me kicking/moving yesterday...!  It felt like bubbles popping in my belly.  a very strange but super cool feeling.  Maybe he'll be a number 8 yet?

So now the family knows.  The dad knows.  And now work knows.  I totally work for the right company.  My bosses' reaction was a squeal of excitement :)


Oh and we're now up to 32 paper clips.  And a smile about as big!


Time to kick back and enjoy the ride :)

i can't be certain...

...but i think i just felt a rumble in the jungle...!


HoooooPlah!

Cot schmot.

 Its just a big expensive box with pretty paint.  


Surely it cant be wrong to put the baby to bed in a drawer?  Its safe, it's cosy and if they scream too much you can just shut the drawer...

So.  week 15.  god thats scarily close to 20.  and halfway.  gulp!

they say i should be able to start feeling mini-me jigging around soon.  Thats super exciting! 

Some say it feels like butterflies in your stomach.  Have to say the only thing i have noticed, is that now all of a sudden I am getting travel sickness.  rad.  Flight to Nelson and a bus trip to Blenheim, spending the whole time convincing myself it was all in my head and I wasnt about to throw up my milo and porridge all over the lovely little Japanese girl in front of me...  That's right.  Porridge.  my new favourite food.

Oh.  and now the dad now knows.  happy fun times!

Aghhhhhhhhhhhhh!  Forward flips, back flips, side flips and a wee tap dance on the roof...  Mini me let me listen to his/her heartbeat a few moments ago.  If i smile any harder my cheeks are going to explode!

Yayyyyyyyyyy!  Oh, and I dont have HIV.  result!  And I finally know my blood group is O+.  result!  And mini-me has a super low risk of abnormalities.

I think it's time for a cupcake :)

Who ate all the pies?

Not sure how much of the belly is as a result of the trumpets and how much is mini-me wanting to get in on the limelight...

Zee belly - 31 paperclips round and counting...
