Telling people about you.

Little One we have had so much fun this week telling people that you are with us and will be arriving in September this year. On Monday, we had our friends, Cassandra, Gerry, Tristin and Talin over for lunch and they were so happy to hear our news. We then decided to call your Uncle Mike to find out where he was in the city and without having to say much, he revealed that he was going to be at the swimming pool at Milson's Point. So we turned up with a present containing a baby bib the said, "I Love My Uncle, " he opened it and you will laugh one day when you see his reaction. He was so excited and we got it on our video with our small camera. We then went over to tell our friends Ricardo and Kate. They are going to have their baby three months before us, so you will have a friend to play with one day, the Little Riskalla.

On Tuesday, we sent off baby bibs to your Grammy Jean and Pop Pop Stud in the USA and to your Uncle Dan and Auntie Holly. We have asked them to call us before they open their package as we would like to see their reaction on the web cam or over the phone at least. So much fun telling people about you.

On Friday, we go and visit your Nanna Carmen and Pop Pop Bill to tell them and since it is your Nanna's birthday, we are going to give her and Pop a bib to surprise them. They will be thrilled, I'm sure!

Dad and I are trying to figure out how to go to a permaculture workshop for two week in February and for Dad to still have enough vacation time to spend the first month with us at home. We found out yesterday and his workplace only provides one week un-paid leave, but don't you worry about that, Dad and I are going to make sure that we have time together as a family to bond in the first month.

In terms of how I am feeling, I am very excited to be pregnant. Sometimes I feel a little anxious hoping that you landed in the right place and are in my uterus and not in one of my fallopian tubes! Apparently, it is common for newly pregnant women to worry a bit about whether everything is o.k. in there. I realized that I just need to trust you little one and know that you have the intelligence to make it through the next few weeks as so much happens for you in the coming eight weeks. It is a very exciting time a you form all of your important organs and really grow in size. We will keep sending you love so that you will know that you are loved and welcome. You are a very special gift to us and we love you very much.
