Karen's Journey

Hi all

Oh well another week begins... work was busy but a nice busy. With L being away on a site visit, there was only the boss and I and we seemed to get through quite a bit and kept L's work up to date as well.

Back tracking to yesterday... didn't really do too much. Had a mini sleep in and then after breakfast, we headed down to Steph's brothers place to drop off a birthday card to Stephs nephew and some money that went towards a telescope that Connor had got and we had all chipped in for. After leaving there, we headed to Lower Hutt and put some money on our pram layby and wandered around looking at car seats at both Baby Factory and Baby City. Ran into a friend of mine at Baby City who is due in 3 weeks so we had a quite a good ole catch up whilst there :) Have more or less made our decision re carseats but will make the final decision sometime this week as the one we will probably get is on special till the end of the weekend.

Home for lunch which was left overs from Saturday night and then after a bit of tidying up, I got stuck into baking and made a batch of Raspberry muffins and also a banana loaf before Steph's sisters turned up for a cuppa and to drop off Steph's birthday present (he is now getting a lovely collection of Mitre 10 vouchers which is what he asked for).

Had an unexpected visit after tea from our friends Lynaire and Kev. It was great to see them and we had a good ole catch up :)

Back to tonight - we are having a yummy chicken and vegetable bake tonight for tea which is currently in the oven cooking. It does feel good planning our meals and knowing what we are going to be having. Most of our receipes this week are from the "Food in a minute" cookbook :)

Anyway, the timer is about to go off... so best I get moving but oh before I go - I must share with you that Steph finally got to feel our wee girl kicking over the weekend and that really made him feel part of the pregnancy. She is definitely one very active wee girl so hopefully that continues later on in her life! :)

Right going now.... catch ya later
