Heartbeat
Oh my goodness I'm pregnant! Yes... there is a little life beginning inside me! What an amazing thing. We found out about a month and half ago and I've been dying to tell you all since then. You might have picked up a few hints! I'm ten weeks now and on Saturday we heard our little ones heart beat for the first time.
I don't really have a bump yet but my clothes are getting tighter! Jamie is very proud of himself and Molly is excited too. The first few weeks weren't actually that fun as i was feeling very sick and then i got a chest infection on top of that. I also have been feeling really home sick and just wanting to be with my friends and family. The other thing is that it is actually really cold here. It's the same as an English winter but without central heating. They just don't have it here, which I think is crazy as its freezing. So I'm craving warmth. The warmth of my friends and familiar things like snuggling up to a chat and some toast, or a walk around Arundel, or a visit to West Witterings with a bonfire, or a roast dinner at my mums house which is always so warm. I really miss radiators. I am feeling better now though, not so sick and I've finally stopped coughing.When the midwife came round and we heard the heart beat it was so amazing ... and so clear and strong. There is a real live baby in there! and I'm it mum. wow!
HHHOOOOOORRRAAYYYYYY!!! Congratulations! How very wonderful!!! I am so very happy for you.

just saw charlotte in the loo and she told me to check out your blog - wow congratulations....amazing seeing all your news in one go - puppy, house and and baby. thats like getting to the end of the 'game of life' board game in one go. that will only make sense to anyone who had that game in the 80s.
how cold will it get. Im worried about you??
we have just built a fire pit in the garden which is amazing....OK not as amazing as a baby or a new house, but it does keep me warm
