coziest chair in the house

Caitlin has a new bouncy chair that she just loves to snooze in. I knew it was only a matter of time before somebody else decided to try it out. Trouble!!

Caitlin Elizabeth



We are so excited that our family has grown by one. Caitlin was born on February 9, 2011 at 10:45pm. She weighed 4.265kg (9lb 6oz) was was 49cm (19.3 in) long.

Angela has been fantastic since we arrived home from the hospital. She thought it was so cool that there was a new baby around and has been giving Caitlin lots of gentle kisses. Both of the girls are getting lots of attention with Grammy and Dziadziu here! Its been great having some extra help at home as we adjust to life with two kids.

I have started uploading pictures which are available on Snapfish. I will continue to add more as I find time.

Waiting for baby

Today I am 40 weeks, 6 days pregnant. This is not something we had expected, or planned for. Even my doctor is surprised, she has been saying 'any day now' since my 38 week appointment! I guess this little girl is comfy in there. Our next appointment is tomorrow afternoon and I know we will talk about induction. Although I'm really hoping to not be induced I know that I'm reaching a point where it may become necessary.

Angela is enjoying all of this extra time as an 'only child', especially now that Grammy & Dziadziu are here. She has gotten lots of new toys and we've had extra trips to the mall, park and beach. We also did a mini-safari on Saturday morning to try and find some camels. In the time we've been here I hadn't seen any camels and we thought it would be fun to go drive around outside of the main city area. We didn't travel too far but did manage to see some cool things - including camels!

After passing many 'camel crossing' signs, we were starting to give up hope that we would actually see any camels - just a lot of sand!


And then a truck passed us on the road, and we finally saw camels!


A few minutes later, and there were camels everywhere


Ang was on camel lookout in the car
