Getting there!

Well the pile of washing is just about done and I've cooked my first roast since getting home.. and poor Col has been to Bristol and back today...so I guess the holiday is officially over.. or for holiday read honeymoon: We had such a laugh this week as Pawel our Polish electrician greeted Col yesterday morning with a big smile and the comment '... Good news, new baby..'

Colin & Simon were really pleased for him, shook his hand and said what great news, much back slapping done by all. One of our other welders passed by and Colin told him the news, that Pawel and his wife Aggi were having a new baby... to which Pawel looked quite confused.. 'what, me, us??'   Well that was what they had heard.. and told him so...

Oh no, what Pawel meant was that Col and I must be having a new baby as we had been away on honeymoon and must have been having lots of sex!  He's priceless!

By the way...

... still no real sign of little Spartacus...but Pawel reckons 'the gate is open'.. in his best Polish English!.. def looking forward to a warm glass or two of port once he makes his appearance....

Oh and here's the 'default face' picture from the page I did for our group album....reminded about this when I read Janice's note today and her self-portrait layout....

Lisa says I may have new career?

... as a midwife?!

If you are follower of my story.. all 3 of you!.. you may know that we went to Poland last summer for the wedding of Pawel and Agnes. Well, Pawel works with us and we in the STS office have enjoyed following the story of their pregnancy.. baby is due on 4 June. They have had the usual ups and downs, went for a 4-D scan, so Pawel could check the baby was good looking.. and with 4 weeks to go the 'little Spartan' weighed 7lbs 1oz already.

I just love everything about babies, having been lucky enough to have uneventful pregnancies and 4 home births, (but I think there was more normality to it way back when.. 1986-97!) so I am slightly talking with memories seen thro' rose tinted glasses! ..I reckon boys are always a longer wait, and harder to extract, but the girls are just always in a hurry to get into the world and get at it! (well that was my experience)

So with me giving him my tenpenneth every now and then Pawel has got me on his list as medical fountain of all pregnancy knowledge and now he wants me to go along to the hospital with them....on the day! .. or night he just tells me! I thought it was a joke, but it seems it is the case, and he wants me to be there to 'translate the doctors information into Pawel-speak' so I have said I will be available and consequently have not had even a small port since last Sunday!

(My only real worry is that dear child will decide to make his entrance on 6th June when I have a long awaited extended day at Just Scrapbooking' in Newlyn!..does that just show my love of scrapping or what..)

But I am hoping to be there, getting sorted and finding those special phtos for GlimmerMisting....but right now tidying my scrap room seems to be a bigger job than actually doing the layouts, but how great to have the dumping room eh?
