Moopy-poo number two
Yes this blurry blobby photo is a sweet little moopy who will be ready to join our family some time in September.
My goodness havn't I been hanging out to tell the world such exciting news, I am so proud of myself for not blabbing our secret any sooner (to too many people anyhow).... it was no easy task keeping my big mouth shut I can tell you!
Moopy number one is absolutely over the moon... she has been begging for a baby sister for over two years now ... she is so sure of the baby being a sister?? but has come up with a very cunning plan if she happens to be blessed with a brother..... she has simply stated that I will have another baby!! well, I know what I am praying for.
I am quite suprised at the fact I am pregnant again... I swore black and blue that I would only have one baby... I found the baby 'thing' far more trying than I had ever thought it would be (but of course endlessly joyous at the same time). But come mid 2007, I had this sudden urgency to have another baby... I became obsessed.. wall paint was chosen .. a quilt was half made (in gender neutral orange and green) ... my GP only laughed and looked surprised that I had never heard of the four year itch. Why didn't any one tell me! I had been warned that getting pregnant again (due to some minor health issues) would not be so simple... so Chris and I thought the beginning of 2008 would be a good time to start and hope that Lily wouldn't become a teenager before we got the good news... well not even a week had gone by and presto! pregnant. I am not so sure I am going to listen to the doc in future... once is a fluke but twice... I think it's safe to say there are no fertility issues to worry about.
So you can expect a darn site more craftyness going on around here in the near future... I have some sewing to do!.. bibs.. booties... a quilt to finish.. my mind is a buzz with little pint sized projects, especially now that, that nasty bout of 'all day' sickness has cleared up. That is except for a few bigger issues like ... literally picking the house up and turning it around to fit a new baby in.. (how could something so small need so much space!) finding an art teacher to help out at the studio and a consultant who needs a beautiful studio to work in while I am not using it so much..... Let me know if you are keen!
Congratulations!!! Wishing you all the best. If I was in Adelaide I would love to be helping you out at your studio!! shame.

hmmm now if i remember rightly you were very adamant last year that you were never having anymore. personally i'm glad that you are - two is twice the fun.
emily and i send you great big kisses and hope that all goes very smoothly over the next few months. Will we be able to pop in and see you before you give birth?

Congratulations! That is such beautiful news...Maia & Jude are 4 years apart, so I think there might be something in that '4 year itch'!

I can't remember if I ever commented (I'm sure if I did it was witty and erudite and you're thrilled to see me again) but congrats from me too. Second children are amazing, the relationship is so different and watching that sibling relationship develop is one of my greatest pleasures, I have become such a gifted eavesdropper, I tiptoe around the house so I can listen to them play. So hooray for you!! Well done, you clever thing.
