Nutty as a fruitbat!

I have come to the conclusion that my Mum is nuts! I went round to see them today and she had my Dad up in the loft, boarding it out so that he could play with his trains up there! Her reasoning behind this was so that when she gets old and bedridden, he'll have something to keep him occupied!!!! Cause he'll be able to climb a ladder by then! Not! Absolutely barmy! But Dad said he'd shoot her before she got that old!! Tee hee!

Baby number two!

As you have probably heard, I am pregnant again! The baby is due on November the 10th. Another autumn baby! So Megan will be just two when it comes.  I've had the first scan which was fine. I had to jiggle around a bit to get it to move for the tests as it was sleeping! I am 13 wks at the moment but my stomach is most definately showing! The lack of stomach muscles will do that for you! I've been feeling fine and no sickness which is great. (But I didnt get any for Megan either.)

So there are a few jobs that need doing before the baby comes as we weren't quite expecting to get preggers so soon! (It took a year last time and two months this time!) The spare room needs clearing of all the junk; new heating system put in; new bathroom and some decorating!! Plenty of time eh!! Better get cracking before I get too fat to move!!

18 Months!

Megan is now 18 mths old! Time is flying. She seems very gown up already. She is talking quite a lot and is definatley most adamant when telling me she wants food! She knows exactly where the biscuit cup'd is! She can also tell us all the noises animals make, such as ducks, cat, dog, tiger and cow! She also likes to go to the park on her little pink trike. I actually had to pick her up from nursery crying the other day because she didnt want to go! She was having too much fun in the garden playing in the cars.

March

Yes we are nearly half way through March already! Where is the time going? It has been so lovely and sunny the last few days (sorry if it hasnt been for those up north!) we have been outside quite a lot playing football and taking Megan out on her trike.

Last week Megan had chickenpox which was very mild so didnt bother her at all. She liked the calamine lotion on her bottom and kept asking for more! It lasted less than a week and she didnt get any spots on her face, only a few on her body and the majority in her nappy area. The only down side was we couldnt go out much.

Congratulations to Suzanne and Chris on the birth of baby Callum! And to Helen and Andrew on the birth of baby Thomas!

Friday!

Work is busy as usual. Everybody wants it yesterday! A little more warning would be nice.

But anyway, what have we been up to? I've been going to yoga classes again, which is great to have some 'me' time! We went shopping to Kingston at the weekend. We made a few pancakes yesterday which Megan didnt think much of, so i ate them! She has actually managed to sleep until 6am (rather than 4 or 5am) for the last 2 nights so this makes all the difference! We are off out for dinner for Duncan's birthday on saturday with some friends which I'm looking forward to. And Megan is staying at Granny's all night, which is even better! That's about it for now.
Yey! An evening out! Hope I can stay awake!

Must blog more often!

Here are a random list of stuff that needs blogging!

Did you see Top Gear last sunday? They did a boys road trip across America. It was the most hilarious thing I've watched for a long time!
I have just scratched my car on a column in a car park! Bugger! It was in my blind spot!
Megan is well, and managing to avoid the chickenpox which is going around nursery, well so far!
She is still waking up at 5am which is doing my head in! Makes my brain tired!
I'm sure there was something else..... my memory is totalled! Perhaps I should lie down for a nap!

16months

Megan is now 16 months old! Time is flying! She is understanding so much now and can say quite a few words:-

mummy; daddy; shoes; stairs; car; car park; cat; banana; night-night; purple; paper; bye-bye; moon.

She is sleeping through which is great, but is still tending to wake up at 5.30am! Hence she gets to see the 'moon' quite a lot!

She loves to go out for walks and is very interested in whats going on outside. Inside is getting a little boring!

She saw her first snowman the other week thanks to granny and grandpa!

Got to go! ironing to do!

All Change!

Things have changed a bit! What with Megan and a much busier time at work I haven't been able to spend as much time as I'd like 'playing' with our blog. There were things I wanted to do but just never got around too, (not least stopping the spam Viagra ads in the comments!), so I figure it would be easier to move to a commercial service.

As if to prove what little time I have to spend 'playing' I actually created this site back in November but never got around to re-directing the old site 'till now!

2007!

Happy New Year! Blimey! Am I old or does 2007 sound really futuristic! In 'Back to the Future' they had flying cars by 2015! Oh well!
Megan is getting more and more fun each day! She is starting to copy what you say which is very amusing!
 She picks up her coat and my bag when she knows we are going out!
Grandad Hughes was very impressed with how good she was at eating her dinner and she even went and sat with him even though she doesnt see him that often.
Her speciality at the moment though is kissing! She will kiss anyone or thing you ask her too and yesterday she kissed her friend Rosie repetitively for about a minute! Hilarious! And Rosie thought it was funny too!
