Happy New Year, 2 dogs and the first photos

Tuesday, January 02, 2007

First of all Happy New Year to all of you that stumble across this blog every now and then.

We had a great time on NYE at Pete and Marina's house, hanging out with a group of friends, eating lots, having some laughs and chatting. We watched the fireworks on Ch 10 and then scooted home as I was well and truly stuffed.

















We are now the proud adopted parents of Patch and Ali (Patch is on the left, Ali is on the right)They are staying with us for 2 years while their family is living in the city for a couple of years, training to become Salvation Army officers. They are the cutest dogs and have been fun to have around already. There is something about an excited, slobbery face looking at you through the back window, that makes your heart melt!





We had our first ultrasound today. I was so nervous - worried there would actually be no baby in there or something!! But there is and everything is great. It was so amazing to see the ultrasound and hear the heartbeat and then realise that it was our baby we were watching and hearing! Makes it all the more real now.

Andrew has gone snorkelling this afternoon with some mates and won't be back till later tonight so I'm off to do a quick tidy of the house and then see if I can get some scrapping happening. Mojo has been gone lately but I'm feeling it coming back so we'll see what I can get done!

5 things I am grateful for today
1. A new year full of exciting possibilities
2. That our baby is healthy and everything is in the right places
3. That I still have 1 1/2 days of holidays left
4. That i haven't put any weight on with the pregnancy yet!!
5. For a free afternoon to scrapbook

Till next time

The dogs look so cute Megan. You are surely one good friend to take on not 1 but 2 dogs and then add a baby to that as well......my goodness girl....you make sure you get to rest up and enjoy your pregnancy!
The Ultra sound pics look great! Can't wait to see how you scrap them.
