Making something special
At last I can give you an explanation for my prolonged periods of absence - I'm growing my very own fattie!
We are so thrilled and have been waiting until after the big scan to share the news. In only 19 more weeks Tom and me will no longer be a two but will turn into a three. And crikey, it seems like we may have a bit of a monkey on our hands. Our big scan took almost 40 mins because of all the somersaulting, leaping, and general wriggling that was being performed by the very healthy little one inside.
I promise that I will still pay lots of attention to Clara, Macy and making toys. Now that the endless morning sickness months seem to have subsided, I have much more energy to actually create things other than a baby!
But for now maybe a bowl of raspberries and a little rest will do just fine!
Congratulations! I just thought you were slack, but in fact you were creating new life! Glad all the scans have gone OK, I know what a relieve you will be feeling now.
Good luck

ahh how nice - many congrats. I can imagine that Clara will be very jealous when the new monkey comes along. I hope you're already having talks with her about how important she is.
