First Baby photos

Here are the first photos of our bubba. These were done about two weeks ago, when baby is 20 weeks old. Halfway there! Everything is in place, just need to grow bigger now. Boy or girl? We'll have to wait and see!

Jack's 2nd Birthday

This year we got all cultural and had a hangi to celebrate Jack's 2nd Birthday.
It was such a beautiful day and everyone had a great time and enjoyed the hangi. Jack loved playing with his wee friends, but most of all I think he liked the presents and cake! He's getting quite good at opening the presents now, last year he just thought they were brightly coloured boxes (:
We served almost 30 people with lots to spare. It was also a particularly special occasion because Jack's Granny & Grumps were over to help celebrate .
Here's the hangi in progress...

Our big trip!

Well, I thought it's about time I posted something about our big holiday last year!
Here's a quick break down of the trip:
Jack and I flew to London with Mum, stayed one night then headed over to Majorca. Jack was quite sick the whole week so it was a pretty quiet one, mostly wandering around the markets, and we went to a beautiful old village called Valldemossa. Haley and Yosmani had thier engagment party while we were there.
Jack and I then flew to Scotland where we met Stuart who had arrived while we were in Spain. Apart from a night each inGlasgow and Edinburgh, we spent the week meeting and seeing family and friends in Gourock. This is when we found out we were pregnant!
We all headed back to London together for the last two weeks of the trip. We popped over to Paris for two night's which absolutely beautiful but also a NIGHTMARE with a child who would not sleep, on top of early pregnancy sick and tiredness! I want to go back and do it properly one day!
Back in England, we did a few days road trip to Bristol and then Chester, and called into Winchester on the way back to London.
The rest of the time was on London mainly sightseeing! And for the grand finale a horrendous flight home which we don't want to talk about!
So here's the pics...
