Pretty aren't I? This is a picture KittyKat took for me to give to my girlfriend HHML for her birthday, she's going to love it yeah. I think the two men who drove past as I was in the front yard getting the pics taken liked it.

Like mother Like daughter

The other day I packed some apple pieces into the Pixie's lunch box and sent her off to creche at they gym. When I picked her up the carers told me they had stopped her from eating the apple as she had choked on the first piece. I said no worries and explained that the trait came from me as I have always had a tendency to choke on stuff. LHT kills himself laughing at me as I can choke on water. Anyway we get into the car to go and I am feeling a little hungry. I look in Pixie's lunch box and see the apple there, think "I'll eat that," and pop a piece into my mouth. A few seconds later, I realise that I too am choking on the apple... I managed to get it down but it was a scary few seconds. I don't think I've ever seen the girls at the creche laugh so much as when I told them that!!

I am 14 weeks 6 days pregnant today. At the scan I had the other day I could see the baby's heart beating and its little arms and legs moving around. Very cute. The girl said the genitals were usually up for a boy and down for a girl but I can't examine the pictures on the disc because my cd drive has decided not to work anymore. I have not put on any weight yet but my stomach is visibly bigger. I examine it every day in the big full length mirror at the gym. I am also maintaining my pelvic floor exercises in the hope that it will make the birth easier. TPOD has me doing these things called swiss ball thigh squeezes which just means you squeeze a swiss ball between your thighs... Every time I do them I am hoping that this is not preparation for the birth because I swear to God this kid's head could be as big as that swiss ball!!!

We had friends over for dinner the other night and LHT lit the fire. I decided to go into the shed to the filing cabinet and drag out some paperwork that we didn't need anymore to stoke the fire. FM and I were doing well for awhile till all of a sudden the fire went out never to return. LHT says I am the only person he has seen put a fire OUT with paper. I maintain he just lit a crappy one to begin with.
