Birthday celebrations

Happy Birthday to Leon and I!!!

Leon took me to a Teppanyaki Bar over the weekend to celebrate our birthdays. It was a fun night! Plenty of food was thrown at us with some of it even making it into out mouths!

Leon is making good use of having a permanent designated driver with him and had many shots of saki. Our last birthday celebration with out kids!

Pop!

So they say one day you will wake up and you will have popped! What is a pop I hear you ask. It means that rather then just looking like you have put on some weight, your belly pops out. I can still get away with hiding the fact that we have precious cargo on board, however for those that know me....I guess the time has come that I am well...obviously pregnant!

I went to another OB appointment on Friday and made a quick trip into the very conveniently located maternity wear store right outside the building. $300 later (sorry Leon) I now have plenty of clothes to cover up the ever growing bump!

The OB appointment went well. I was sooooo relieved to hear the baby heartbeat again. I have put to rest the worry that something had gone wrong and the baby had magically disappeared! We have our 19 week scans to look forward to this coming Friday!! So stay tuned for new photos and movies!

Nandi

I can hear you asking 'what is a Nandi??' Well it is short for Nanna Di or maybe Nanna Dickson. As Craig and I already have a Nanna Dickson (our Dads Mum) we have decided to try out Nandi for our Mum and see if the name sticks. Well Nandi has gone from having no grandchildren to having 1 and a bit. The presents for baby Callum in the USA are plentiful from Nandi. I have been waiting to see how long it would be beofre Nandi could not wait any longer to spoil her newest grandbaby.

So Baby Wregg has been given a cute little cotton jumpsuit and siglet top. Nandi also sent a baby book for Leon and I to record all significant moments in. And yes the giraffe is also from Nandi!

Adventure Baby

So before we even knew we were pregnant, we were on holidays in Port Douglas. Not knowing about our special cargo, we happily went out on the Great Barrier Reef snorkelling, fresh water rapids swimming and flying around the country.

Well to keep this adrenalin baby going we went out sports fishing and 4WDing over the Easter break. Now it was probably not the smartest decision on our part to take a 4 month pregnant woman out on the continuously rolling ocean for 12 hours but we did manage to catch a massive marlin! I did not get any real pictures so have included a drawing for those that don't know what a marlin is. The one the boys caught was over 2 meters. We also had a bunch of dolphins escorting the boat and playing in the water near by. It was a good experience, I am glad I got to experience some of the joy Leon gets out of fishing. I will however not be racing back out to the ocean any time soon!

I love Daddy

So I promised people I would post a picture of the T-shirt I held up on my belly when I told Leon I was pregnant. It took him a few seconds to get what I was trying to say but then he smiled…..before a look of total panic flashed across his face!

Baby Eggs

I received my first official Easter gift this weekend (we will discount the fact that Leon has been buying Easter Eggs since they came out in the stores just after Xmas). Jeff and Sara got in early this year and gave out fun Easter gifts this weekend. As you can see in the previous blog, Leon received a toy truck filled with eggs which I preceded in eating straight away. My gift was a very cute tiny bunny bowl, spoon and cup set….I am sure they are not actually for me, I might look a little silly eating my lunch at work with my bunny spoon. I will however eat the chocolate egg…well it would be out of date by the time Baby Wregg could appreciate it!

Wregg baby getting spoiled already

That’s right, our baby is receiving gifts already. Linda came home with this very cute pair of tiny size 1 shoes….said she could just not resist!

Don't get any 'baby boy' ideas...the truck is Leons, the back is filled with Easter eggs, a gift from his brother Jeff and Sara.
