Enjoying time at home with my family. Had a bout of illness just before our flight and it really took it out of me for a few days. Couldn't seem to kick the jet lag, not that the dreary weather helped any! But, looking forward to seeing more folks today as it's much easier for friends to come and see us. I simply don't have the energy to get out and about. Hope to see some of you on this trip, pre-baby.

Ciao!

Stickybean is starting to kick and punch on a regular basis. It's rarely detectable on the outside though Rory has gotten to feel it here and there. Sometimes it catches me so off guard! I guess you can never really be prepared for a sudden stomp on the bladder or punch to the intestines. Can't imagine what it'll be like as it gets even bigger...yikes. Anyhow...just approaching 26 weeks and doing fine, just getting more inflated by the minute.

We've closed on our house and we pick up keys this Saturday and do our walk through - while also moving in the majority of our stuff, having phones and tv installed and purchasing the flooring for the ground floor. Busy, busy day ahead. We needed to get it done before we go on holiday though and this is the last weekend we have to do it.

Heading off to Paris next weekend on a travel program with some of my residents, then we turn around and fly stateside! Hopefully get to see some of you while we're home. We'll try to post when we're out and about if you'd like to meet up with us. When I get back I've only got 2 weeks of work and then I start maternity leave! CRAZY.

That's all peeps!
