I got to look after 5 children (the number fluctuated depending on sleepovers), 4 dogs, 3 cats, 3 horses and 1 fish this weekend. The practice run for parenthood. It was fun. Janelle was off on a horse safari so we said we'd stay at their place and look after the kids. And the rest.
We played Monopoly
We made a cake
We ate a cake
We played capture the flag
We went swimming
We ate pizza
We played soccer. Rephrase. Some played soccer. I watched. And took crappy photos
We ate pancakes
We went for a walk
We played 'consequences' - the drawing version. (when you each draw the head, then fold the piece of paper over and hand it to the next person, who draws the body etc. Remember that game?)
We took pictures of my tummy
We played the categories/alphabet game
And lots of other things
And fell into bed every night exhausted. Well, I did anyway. And that was only a weekend. Eeeeek

Hahaha, honey, sorry, I'm just laughing because you are so cute. Look at that baby bump. It's like this, baby's start out small for a reason, you grow together. You'll be fine, see how well your doing already carrying the precious babe.
Could gabby and her friend be any cuter?
take care mama
love, lori
Oh wow! Look at your beautiful bump! What fun! I was up in the big smoke over the weekend to see my sister and saw your lovely sister too. So much exciting news all around. Leaves me grinning. Again x
That Gabs is just like her mama. I'm sure they all loved you. Even the fish. xxx
Beautiful bump!
You are still a long way from 5 children...unless you have more than 1 lurking in there?

It`s not only the tummy, it`s also the bosom that grows to unthought- of dimensions! Just wait! Did you get my email with the picture? And all the names along with it?

What a wonderful bump! Enjoy it now before it gets to the point where you can't see your feet... kidding, kidding!! That hardly ever happens with first babies. Second pregnancies though - pah! Feet invisible by Month 5 :-)
