Excitement…

Martin and I had a really nice weekend. He worked Saturday morning instead of all day Saturday, so we actually got to spend a little time together. And I went to a scrap booking party at Emma’s mum’s house, which was fun. Martin got 3 ½ hours on the X-Box out of the whole deal, so he was happy about it. We went for a lovely walk around the salt marshes on the waterside on Sunday morning, which was great. There’s a public footpath down there that’s lined with plum trees, and they are all blossoming at the minute (can’t wait for the plums in August). Then church, of course. We went to the Mundays’ house afterwards and I made fajitas and Mexican rice for dinner. We had an early night, which made it even nicer!

The really great thing about the weekend was baby related, though. I felt Maggot move (for sure) for the first time. Yesterday morning I was lying in bed trying to find the will to move, when the baby started doing it for me! I swear he was using my stomach for a trampoline. He was moving all over the place. It felt so strange, but wonderful. I woke Martin up to tell him, but he wasn’t that impressed—mostly because I woke him up at 7:30 on a Sunday morning. What do you know, there’s really a baby in there!

We also found out that our new neighbors, Simon and Joanne, are expecting a baby. I was pleased with that, because that means they won’t be upset with us over our screaming baby since they’ll have one of their own. And who knows—it might help us bond with them a little bit.
