My Little Pumpkin!!

Hi All. Holly had her first ever Halloween party today at the Baby Art Class. Doesn't she look cute?! Her Great Auntie Karen had sent her this outfit a little while ago so I was really pleased she had a reason to wear it today. There were heaps of kids at the party, it was really good fun. The older ones played games and Holly and the other babies just played with the toys. There was heaps of party food, which Holly wasn't that bothered about, well until I started eating it! Kory and Matthew were there too, here they are.....

We have just been up to our usual stuff this week, Ian was away to Shetland on Wednesday but is back now thank goodness!
Well I had better go,

Here we go again!!

Hello Everyone, 2 updates in a day! Well we just wanted to share our surprising news with you all that we are expecting another baby. We had our 12 week scan today and all was OK so it's time to let you all know. The baby is due on the 24th April 2006 although may come earlier if I have a C-Section as I have been advised, but we will decide that nearer the time. So here is the little baby....

We are very relieved that everything was OK and exicted (if not VERY scared) about having another baby. Yes we know we are mad before you all say it!

I have been feeling OK this time round, just a bit sick and very tired, but Holly's early morning starts may have a lot to do with that. The lack of blog updates has been because I have been so shattered at nights, but hopefully that will improve.

We have our 20 week scan on the 5th December, which isn't that far off really.

So that's it, I'm sure you are all a little surprised by this, we sure were at first!!

Love, Hannah, Ian and Holly XXX

Birthday Update

Hi All. Just thought I would update you on our weekend. It was my birthday on Saturday and I was very lucky and spoilt rotten so thanks for all the lovely cards and presents. The best thing was getting a card that said 'Mummy' on it from Holly, I know I'm sad!! Here is a photo of me and Holly....

We just had a lazy morning then Angela and Matthew popped round at lunchtime. After lunch we went out to Banchory to the Falls of Feugh, which is a lovely waterfall. Here are some photos....

It was absolutely beautiful there and we stood watching the poor fish trying to jump up stream for ages. Holly just had on her confused face, as she always does when we do something different! After that we went to the wee coffee shop place and I had the biggest bit of sponge cake you have ever seen, it was YUMMY!

On Saturday night we had a nice quiet night in front of the telly with a Dominos Pizza, my favourite!!

Yesterday we were just around the house trying to tidy up a bit (which is always a waste of time as 2 minutes later Holly has destroyed the place again!) Later on in the afternoon we went to see Sarah and hear about the wedding she was at over the weekend.

So that's it for now,

New Shoes!!

Hi All. Well today Holly got her first pair of proper shoes from Clarks. As she is now officially 'Cruising' and it's getting cold out there we decided it's time for her to have proper shoes. We got her feet measured and she was a size 4 and a half, which is quite big for a little girl, but mind you I have HUGE feet so I guess she was never going to be that small. We chose a lovely pair of bright pink ones which are specially for cruising. They should last 6-8 weeks, which isn't that long really! They took her photo and I have it in a little frame to keep. So here she is wearing them.....

So what have we been up to? Well on Monday we had Kory and Julie over for lunch then we went a big walk round Cove which was nice. Tuesday was Baby Group, then on Wednesday we went with Angela and Matthew to visit our friend's Lesley and Liam in their big new house, which was gorgeous!

Ian has been on holiday since Thursday, so in the morning he and Holly went in to town birthday present shopping (his favourite!) whilst I went to do some training for work. After that I went back in to town and we met Granny Forbes for lunch who was through for the day, so it was lovely to see her. Last night I got a treat and had my hair cut, which is nice (and not too short, Dad!) Today we got the shoes then went for a wander round a local garden centre and for a nice cup of tea!!

Here is Holly giving Fimbo (a Fimble if you didn't know?!) a big cuddle on the telly, cute!!

Well that's it for now, I will update you over the weekend especially as it's my birthday (21 again!)

Bye for now,
Hannah X
