Little Louise Anne Greig was born on the 7th of July 2010 at 23:19. She weighed 7lbs 6.5oz. It was a long labour for Denise but the end result was more than worth while.

Check her out! She is beautiful, Denise and I are overjoyed.

We both took Friday and Monday off to do the move. All the bedroom furniture got moved on Saturday with the help of Denise’s brother-in-law Craig who did the driving of the hire van.

The house is currently like a bomb site, with boxes everywhere! Quite a bit of furniture arrived as well as we ordered some stuff for the livingroom and the bedroom. I put together a nest of tables and Denise put together a shoe rack last night.Hopefully get everything sorted and tidied away by this weekend. It is really good to have Denise with me at last.

On the baby news front 15 weeks to go!

I’m sure the time will fly in. We spent time over the weekend in Babies R Us and Mothercare looking for a Travel System and buying some feeding bottles, dummies and other stuff!

Babies are expensive even before they are born!!

Not a lot of movement from baby this time but I suppose he/she has to sleep sometimes! It’s amazing all the things they check for in the scan, from femur length to size of the skull and cerebelum. They even check is there is any sign of a cleft lip or palate. The great news is everything looks to be fine. Denise and I are so happy at that. It is nice to be reassured that things are progressing as they should.

We found out the sex of the baby but that’s staying as a big secret between Denise and I and some of our family who’ve been told.

Christmas was great I spent this with Denise and her family up near Perth. It was a fantastic day especially spending time with Anne-Marie’s (Denise’s sister) kids Lucy and Matthew.

New Year was pretty quiet, although I did get a little drunk but hey that’s what New Year is for.

Since starting back at work I’ve been struggling with getting up in the morning! Getting into the swing of things now and since it’s the middle of February that’s not too bad!

I’m fully settled into the house now, still need to buy some bedroom furniture for the small bedroom and another chest of drawers. The big news on the house front is that Denise is moving in with me at the end of March. Just over 5 weeks to go! I really can’t wait.

Even though Denise and I have known for a while but we’ve been keeping it reasonably quiet. The most amazing news of all is that Denise is pregnant and were due to have a baby this July!! Denise and I are so happy. We’ve known since November 2009 and it came as a bit of a shock, but we’re both so looking forward to becoming parents. We both know it won’t be easy but are looking forward to the challenges that parenthood will bring!

We are both going for her 20 week ultrasound scan tomorrow afternoon but don’t know if we are going to find out if it’s a boy or girl. We will be deciding on the day. Looking forward to tomorrow. Denise had her first scan at 12 weeks (just before Christmas) it was toally amazing. There was so much movement from the baby and I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen!

I’ll keep updating my blog with the latest developments!
