From the mouth of a babe:

“I born a nana!”

“I born a nana”

I guess those books we have been reading every day to try to get used to the concept that a baby will soon arrive are really getting through :). I wasn’t quite sure he understood that the baby would come out of my tummy through a ‘hole’ somewhere, but he told me yesterday the baby would come out soon through a ‘hole’, and today’s demonstration proves he really does get it…

This beauty was uttered not 5 minutes ago, spontaneously on the verandah to Aunty G. Imaginative play! I love it!

Love mum

P.S. Let’s hope the real baby gets better care than this poor nana a few minutes after birth:

No, I take it back, as your father says:

“Who swallowed the soccer ball?”.

I’m not really as big as a house, just as big as it would be to have a whole soccer ball in your stomach. Yep, that’s me:

So today little Poogie has a bit of the flu still, so we had a day home from kindi (daycare).

All I had planned was the fitting of the baby car seat at the ambulance centre (great rental service here in Brisbane) and then a trip to the obstetrician’s for a check-up. We had started to talk to little O about the need for a new baby seat in the car already: especially as his seat had to move over to accommodate the new baby capsule, and that the baby when it came out would travel in the car, next to him. Where he could see it (which he seems excited about!).

Hello!

We had a wonderful getaway at the beach for the weekend – last getaway before the new baby arrives. Time to chill, play, dig in the sand, walk, swim and just relax.
