So I've been very slack...

At updating my blog! Apologies to anyone who might read it.

I kind of had (what I think is) a good reason lol. On our return from Australia - just a couple of days later, we found out we are expecting our first child!! Yay!! I didn't want to update (well, I REALLY REALLY wanted to update, but not let anything out. Just couldn't think of anything as exciting to write about) till we were through the first trimester. Baby is due 11 June and I'll be 16 weeks on Christmas day! We are very excited! Dave is so cute - he can't stop smiling when we talk about it :) We're undecided as to whether to find out what we're having or not. Dave wants to know but I think I'd like a surprise. We'll probably end up tossing a coin :)



We've had two scans - one at 8 weeks 4 days when it just looked like a little jellybean, and the one above at 12 weeks 1 day where it actually looks like a little person.

There's nothing very exciting to see - I don't have a six pack anymore :( and my tummy is growing little blonde hairs on it (STRANGE!) but other than that people who don't know me can't tell.

Our house plans are on hold for the next little while at least. I can't remember much else at the moment. Actually, I seem to be forgetting a LOT right now. Apparently there's such a thing as preggy brain so I'm able to get away with blaming some things on that. Work is great! Everytime I do anything a little bit blonde everyone just blames it on that!! Ha ha, so funny. Dave isn't quite as accomodating - he doesn't believe me ;) From what I've heard it doesn't improve once the baby arrives, just turns into baby brain.

We've done a couple of things towards organising things here. We've been given a set of drawers that Dave's Dad made when his older brother was born so Dave sanded and I painted them the other weekend. I went out and found some cute little silver teddy bear knobs :)
Dave spent last weekend (or the weekend before) putting up my new shed. Its almost 3m x 3m and is for me to store all the horse gear (which takes up quite a bit of room in our storage part of the barn). I'm loving having a little tack shed! So that gave us some more room on that side so we could move things out of the little extra room off the kitchen (I call it the 'cupboard' but apparently there's laws against keeping a baby in a cupboard lol) into the storage area to make room for baby stuff.
