While Ash is yet to make it to Dad status, we spent the day celebrating those who have made it, and who do so in style – unlike my husband. (Yes that’s him dressed in my swimming cap, Elwood’s Eels scarf and his PJ’s)
We had a yum cha lunch with Ash’s parents and Tim, Kym and Dylan, being an extra special celebration for Tim (his first Father’s Day) and John who has a birthday this coming Wednesday.
Dylan has recently started taking his first steps, so Ash and I took almost every opportunity to get him on his feet to show off his new talent.
After yum cha, we had to check out the Max Brenner café for chocolate dipped strawberries and dark chocolate frappes (because the big slice of birthday cake after lunch just wasn’t enough).
And then it was off to an Italian dinner with my parents and Jai – just when we thought we couldn’t eat anymore!
Both Dads have been absolutely amazing in helping with the arrival of our newest little family member, with many hours (and dollars) invested in the nursery (and the rest of the house for that matter). So thank you Dads – we love you lots!
Elwood is definitely starting to stack on the weight – check out the size of this belly!
The good news the obstetrician confirmed is he/she is not yet “engaged” so (I think) there is little chance of him/her making an early arrival i.e. before I finish up work. We’ve stopped asking the Prof any questions – after the “How should I know incident”, but I think I heard a murmur that I was 4/5 engaged which is just about as close as it gets. Lots of movement happening even with the space limitations imposed, but still no cravings – what’s the point anyway… I don’t think I will ever top Kym’s love of heads of lettuce in the final stages of her pregnancy – overheard to have said at the time “I just love the taste of green.”
Now I know I said I would do a nursery slide show this week, but I think this entry is long enough, so will save it for the next one. Check out my newest addition – the play list on the left hand side of the blog. Ash and I have selected some of our favourites for you to listen to (can’t say much for Ash’s taste).
