Long Time no Type

So Marc and Kylie (long-time friends of mine) came to visit Nick and I. Marc gave me flack for not blogging often enough and for blogging too long. Then, a facebook message from my cousin Shannon said the same thing! So, my April's resolution is to blog less more!

I thought I would start with some big news. I'M PREGNANT!!! Oh my goodness. Due Oct 19th. We're very excited but I must admit that I'm really really scared.

This is what I looked like when we found out at 5 weeks: (I can only pray that God blesses me with a flat stomach like this someday again!)



Then a little larger at 10 weeks:


















And now... I'm fat at 13 weeks and wearing maternity clothes! (Or very tight trousers) I try to suck it in as much as I can during the day, but by the evening.... so this is me relaxed. And, I'm sure the picture looks stretched???

As they'd say in England, "who ate all the pies?" The problem is, I have been too ill to eat anything other than crackers. I can only wish it was peacan pie followed by Oma's cheesecake followed by... only wish...

Those that are in awe at the almost-nude pictures... chill. Things are A LOT more carefree in England/Europe and this is nothing compared to what's in the newspapers! And, when in Rome...

So, Nick and I do have to apologize to Marc and Kylie. When they were visiting Nick was bed-bound with an awful flu. And I was all-day sick (I refuse to call it "morning" sick), nauseous all day all night all week all month... Morning my arse! I could barely bring myself to eat crackers never mind cook a meal and sightsee. So, for the record, we are not lazy or boring and we do eat when we're 'normal'. It was lovely to have you and we look forward to seeing you again when we're not at our worst.

A memory of the two of you (taken on the day we kicked you out of the house and sent you to the London Science Museum).
