Introducing....



Our Son...



We now know who "Bug" is....he is Oliver.

Isn't he the most beautiful boy you have ever seen? I'll answer for you - YES!!!!!

My instinct was right. We received "the call" on Thursday afternoon...and our feet haven't touched the ground yet. We are absolutely in love with our precious son, and feel so very blessed to be his Mama and Baba.

We hope to have him in our arms in about 6 weeks.

Love,

Oliver's Mummy and Daddy xxx

Special Time

My darling mum came to visit today...we had a lovely lunch and and even lovelier chat. It was so wonderful to get to spend time one on one with her - a rarity.

It has done me the world of good and helped me not go over the edge today (which was a distinct possibility this morning...I was on very dodgy ground indeed!!).

Some days you just need your mum...today is one of those days.

Thank you mum. I love you.

Is Today the Day?

I've woken up with my stomach in knots and my mind going a million miles an hour....is today THE day??


I know that it probably isn't, and that realistically it will be at least tomorrow before we hear anything....but I just have a feeling - or is it just wishful thinking?


P.S. Our latest ultrasound.....

C'mon Stork!!!


Feeling Loopy

I had a lovely day yesterday. Thankyou to the three gorgeous friends involved in making it such a special day.

L and I browsed through baby departments and coffee-d and lunched; G and I had coffee and a catch-up, and M left hilariously excited messages and texts until she finally got hold of me.....then she was not pleased with me as I refused to shout and scream down the phone to match her excitement (in my defence I was sitting in the middle of a very quiet restauarant at the time!!!)

During the day yesterday I felt strangely calm and in control, and OK.

Today however.... Fruit Loop City.
Couldn't get to sleep last night despite being exhausted!! I laid there most of the night staring at the ceiling (and at the screen of my Iphone)...wondering who our child is - is she a girl or is he a boy? How old will he/she be? Is he/she awake right now somewhere in China, lying in a cot staring at the ceiling...where in China...what are we going to name him/her....do I need to wash my hair in the morning in case we get "the call" tomorrow...should I get up now and wash my hair just so I'm ready....oooh, look - it's 3am.....

You get the picture....it's not pretty.

My nerves are officially fried. My poor husband.

Possibility of getting "the call" today - 1%...but I'm preparing for it anyway!!!
