Giggles

Little one, your daddy and I have been going to bed in fits of laughter talking about what you might be like and things that you might like to do.

It's the nicest way to fall asleep. Some times I think of the giggles in my tummy as rocking you to sleep.

We already love you so much.



Growing....

We are getting big little one- you do the cutest kicks. I love being with you every day.



Your house!

Little one, look what daddy did for you!

I think we are going to make lots of happy memories in this house.

We can't wait to bring you home to our own little house.

Little ones first party

This was all for you little one.

Aunty Sarah and Aunty Emily

We took you on a little trip to Canberra for Aunty Sarah and Aunty Emily's birthdays.

We got dressed up and went to the movies for Sarah's birthday party.

I even found a maternity flapper dress for us to get dressed up in.

I cant wait for you to meet your Aunties- they love you so much already.

Check out your Great Gpa's bow tie- him and your Great Gma were the last people to leave! 

Button nose

Look how much you have grown little one!

I think you look like your daddy but lots have people have said you have your mummys nose. I cant wait to pinch it every so gently.



Aunty Adventures

Your Aunty Amanda and Mel came to visit and we went on a girls trip for Mothers Day.

It was really fun and we even found a special cocktail that you and I could have.

They are so much fun- you're very lucky to have lots of people who love you and will look after you already.

Parties

I keep dreaming of parties with you little one.

I've started making some things for your first little party.

Everyone I make makes me smile because I think of you!

Bumps

You're getting bigger now little one, and I love feeling your kicks.

Everytime you kick I yell out to your daddy to come feel but as soon as he puts his hand on my belly, you stop. Hehe you're funny bubba.



Peter Pan

one of the rooms we stayed in in New Zealand had a map of the exact point your daddy asked me to marry him in London. There is a statue of Peter Pan there. We will take you there one day. I think you will like it.

Travelling bubba

Now for your third adventure- we're off to New Zealand!

It's a beautiful country although your daddy laughs because your mummy sleeps through a lot of it!

We showed you a glacier from this rickety bridge. I hope you like adventuring little one.

Pumpkin

You have been showered with love already little one and have been receiving gifts from all your extended family Aunty and Uncles!

Bebe on Board

I snuck this baby on board sign, that the hospital gave me, onto the car while your daddy was overseas working in America.

It makes me smile everytime I see it.

Little feet

We bought you your first pair of converse shoes this weekend little one.

I cant wait to see you wobble around in them : )

Sharing our news

Your daddy and I kept you as our little secret for a while. But when we knew you were safe (and you waved at us in the ultra sound!) we knew it was time to share you.



This is your Great Nanny and this is what she looked like when we phoned her to tell her the news.

Your Great Grandparents came to visit us and GGma had alread knitted you some booties! They brought me a special dress from Gigi too because my clothes are starting to get a bit tight.

And then we took you to Sydney and told all of your Craven family. It was so special and your Grandma and Aunty Alex screamed!

It was a really nice weekend, your daddy even whizzed us around the dancefloor at Anita and Warren's wedding.







One year

  One year ago your daddy and I got married at a beach house on a rainy day.

We took you to Tasmania to celebrate. I've got a bump already- Gigi thought I might have been having twins from this photo!

Poppo and Gigi

One afternoon your Poppo was visiting Melbourne and he brought a little gift along from Gigi.

It was the dress that I wore on my way home from the hospital as a newborn!

You are one very lucky little bubba to be coming into families who already love you so much! I can't wait for you to meet your Poppo and Gigi. Poppo said he is going to feed you lots of lollies- we will see about that : )



Taste buds

i noticed lots of little changes in the first few months we spent together.

but the biggest by far was the foods that I wanted to eat.

 pancakes with lemon and sugar

 spinach triangles

tiger toast!

and these were the ones that didnt make me sick!

 pikelets with jam  

lamington fingers

and lots of fruit!

Your Gigi used to make these for me when I was little. I wonder whether you will like them when you grow up!

We

I love riding my bike.

One day I got caught in the rain.

But then I realised we got caught in the rain.

But you were there

And we laughed

And your daddy bought me flowers

And we fell asleep with smiles still on our faces

Your first overseas trip

Before we knew it you and me were off on a trip all the way over the ocean to Thailand for Aunty Rhiannon's wedding.

I just knew you were there.


We had so many fresh coconuts.




And I think you like pineapple rice. 



We had massages with Aunty Mel and Aunty Amanda and you left a little love heart bruise above my tummy just to make sure I knew you were there!

We didnt even know it yet

little one, you were growing inside my (extra padded) tummy at this fancy dress party... 

I cant wait for you to meet your daddy- he's the funniest man that ever there was.

And then there were three...
