Yup, It's true. I made it to the end of the first trimester. Had the 12 week scan and am all good to go. We saw fingers and feet. It's 7 cm long now, from top of head to bum.  It was also moving around it's arms and legs. A good heart beat too. Only the one, which is good, one at a time is good.

Looks like a human and not a potential human or whale or fish or donkey.

DC and I are happy and nervous. It's a big responsibility teaching someone the way of things.
His parents are very excited that they are finally going to be grandparents.
Mine already are grandparents, so they don't seam as excited.

I'll be around six months at CF. My plans for that have not changed. But I'll be on my own timetable a bit, no rushing, no long distance walks, probably no late nights, and lots of naps.

I'm due around the end of May, which put a kink in our plans to help out with bits of May Crown in Darton. I won't be decorating the hall. Hauling my 8 some month belly up and down a ladder to put up hall decorations, while possibly funny to watch, will not be a goer.  I'll not be head server and hall steward for my lovely husband, and he's had to pull out of leading the food. Just in case little Ramsden decides to come in a hurry.

I do feel bad about that. We couldn't help much last time because we got married and went on honeymoon just before the event. Now I'll be near my due date, and probably only up to waddling around the event.

We are thinking about how to handle the introduction of little R to the cats. While keeping them at ease and keeping little R above them on the pecking order, without throwing them outside. I'm not sure I could deal with that.

Oh I do like this new house, nice and warm!

We are going to Raumati and Otaki tomorrow to look at catteries. DC also hopes to find another 2 seater couch, so when people come over they have somewhere to sit other than the floor. We appear to be making a day of it.

Still not unpacked. Want to tidy and stow the things I have in the house before brining up more. I'll purchase some more plastic boxes and keep some things down in the garage, so as not to clutter my study. There are clothes to pack away now until after, as I already don't fit my nearly new jeans.

At least bookbinding is something I'll be able to keep doing, even if event attendance may have to drop off for a bit, and event running will too.

Cleaning, I really hate cleaning. And doing things twice because your work computer ate it.

DC is at war-gaming. So I'm cleaning the bathroom. Spring clean level of cleaning. Washing walls, and doors and windows. Then there is the bath, shower curtain, sink and floor. I've only done the top of the walls and the door and windows and window cills.

Did I mention I hate cleaning.

It's cold, but then so it everyone.

No students showed up to sew this morning. Oh well.

Patch is afraid of thuner stroms. Found her hiding under the chair in the 'gaming' room on thursday night as the house shook around us. Put her on my lap in the tv room and she buried her little face in my elbow and shook. Eventually calmed down. Neo only appears a little bit bothered. He's happy as long as he's warm and fed. Peferably being fed in the warm.

Nice to have some time on my own to do ramdom things.
