Clothes for Sean/Zara

Clothes and toys have started pouring in now from various people. We had a beautiful hand knitted blanket from Mary Barry in Waterford, plenty of stuff from friends and family here in Sydney and a knitting kit from Cheryl in Manchester that when complete will be transformed into a little cardigan for Sean/Zara. Of course because the latter relies on B actually doing the knitting herself we will either have it only in time for the 6th child or it will be finished with only one arm.
Anyway thanks to everyone who sent sent stuff, I now have to put up more shelves to accommodate it all so a special thanks for that. The two pictures above represent my contribution to baby clothes. I found a top website to buy baby clothes which can be located here http://www.cafepress.com/buy/st+patricks+day/ B was not too impressed when I told her what 'Feck' means but I thought it was pretty funny and the bib is very cute. I'll probably have to limit Sean/Zara to wearing the 'Feck' one in the house only but it was still worth the purchase.

B is for BIG

B definitely means big these days. As you can see Bec is very big now with only 2 months to go. She is now having trouble tying shoelaces, putting any kind of footwear on and anything that involves any kind of bending over. She is very happy though and all is very well so far. Lots of moving around now from Sean/Zara including some really big movement where you can actually make out ankles, elbows or hands etc... Very weird but very exciting.

Paddy's Day Parade

Apologies in the delay of posts recently, we have been very busy here. Here I am the week before Paddy's Day with Ash at the parade in Hyde park in Sydney. Ash had her operation this week (new boobs) and she is very happy with them indeed. It was a beautiful day and almost too hot to stay around all day. Had a couple of Guinness's and a feed and then went home. Bec was out at a friends birthday so could not make it but we are all getting ready for a big day next week on the 17th.

31 weeks now. From left to right in this picture are Claud, Vita, Romina, Nat & Bec just about to leave for Romina's 30th birthday drinks in Balmain. I know in the last post Bec was also out with these girls and this would give the impression that she does this a lot. Well you'd be right, dinner, drinks, there's no stopping Bec just because she's pregnant. Still lots of kicking, still lots of movement and still growing of course.

Here Bec is out for dinner with her firends (L to R = Romina, Vita, Claud & Nat). Some place in Rozelle, not sure of the name, but I heard all about it and B told me the food was amazing. Here B is 30 weeks. Lots of kicking going on now and last night whilst we were both watching TV I could have sworn I saw an elbow sticking out of B's stomach. Man that must be uncomfortable.
