Ms J

hair? Precisely.

I can so imagine a baby with Mr. Tuna's hair & specs. Heh. He's neither supertall nor superheavy - 75th percentile for both. And he's changed quite a bit since that photo was taken, but we haven't bothered to upload the pics yet.

Doesn't he? After packing him around for 39 weeks and going through 14 hours of labour, I'm a wee bit chagrined to discover that I have left no discernable imprint on him whatsoever.

I've had my hands full lately...

Sneaky recessive genes. Congrats Adam, he's lovely. And he appears to be good at the self-soothing thing already!

As the pregnant woman in question, I find it hard to imagine that my labour kicked off a week early due to a trip to Rosemary Lane.

Fortunately not!

Strange, my grandfather used to say exactly the same thing to me.

Someone smashed one of the window panes at the front of our house last night. They didn't manage to get in, mainly because our lovely old window frames are painted tightly shut. Even if they had the alarm would have gone off. But still, I had to spend this morning cleaning up glass, filing a report with the police, warning the neighbours and ringing glaziers, which made me late for work.

The Js are okay.

I am delighted to see that jon is still up for preparing feasts of baroque generosity.

Thankee, all. This year we went out for a quiet dinner, and since I started falling asleep by 10pm B called for the cheque and took me home. Rock n' roll, man.

Kicking. Or should I say, being kicked?

Heavens - it's soon, isn't it!? MyKong, you sound like you're well in control of everything. Your flowers sound amazing (LOVE the limes & hydrangeas), as does the dosa station, as do the double wedding days. I suspect that you'll be really glad to have had two full days of wedding when it's all over. I was happy just to have had a quiet civil ceremony the day before my "real" one, as it kept the whole event from flashing by too quickly to be remembered. Sleep well over the next few nights and enjoy the champagne on the days. All the very best to you both. And btw, like Lippy

Strawberries. The problem is I've already eaten a punnet of them for breakfast.
