An update...

We've reached a big milestone now. Today marks 26 +1/40 in Cheryl's pregnancy. For those that don't know, 26 +1 is medical jargon (hehe) for 26 weeks 1 day. So things are moving along. The reason why this is a big milestone is because Cheryl gets to do the Glucose load test on Saturday. This is to see if her body deals with the glucose well. There isn't anything to worry about, it's very routinely done here in Canberra. Cheryl apologises for the absence on the blog because the thing is she is resting more and more these days, so not really much time to update the blog. But I'm sure with this posted, she'll post something quickly.

It has been a very long few months. We are currently half way in our many trips around Australia. So we've been to Sydney twice (with one trip to go), Perth and the Gold Coast, with Darwin and Hobart remaining before the end of next month. After that, I am travelling with dad to see Pandas in Adelaide (for a mere 5 hours) before picking up my sister in law and Ying Khai on July 1 in Melbourne the day after. That's it. No more trips after that.

We've also done some more furnishing around the house. A new couch, table and bookshelf were purchased from good ol' Ikea in Sydney recently. So the only thing missing now is the cot and everything is in place for the baby's arrival. May is a big month for us as well because the baby classes start then. Oh the joy, the joy of it all! :P June are my exams and then July is the exciting month. Who would have thought, 2 years and a bit after getting married we'd be welcoming our first bub. My father is quite optimistic about more though, after saying that it would be 6 of us next year celebrating his birthday, he said it should be 6 +1... With the +1 implying another one in the oven. We'll see dad... We'll see... :)

There isn't that much else to report. I will see if I can post up some pictures albeit on a facebook link so that you can see what we have been up to recently. Lots of travelling, but it's slowly but surely winding down... Our baby will be quite special. Our baby will have travelled to Melbourne, Malaysia, Sydney, Perth, Gold Coast, Darwin and Hobart before being born. Now how many babies can lay claim to such a title?

Until next time... :)

Alex, Cheryl and little Alex (the name I'm giving it until it's born... :))
