Feeling content

Well, I'm now 26 weeks along with pregnancy number three and I feel great. It's been a strange couple of days as I realise this is the stage at which Tasha was born. I'm happy to be healthy, active and pregnant. It's really a great time to count my blessings.
Baby boy is due at the end of April and I'm having lots of fun gathering stuff for the new addition to the family.

On another note, my love affair with Google docs has been taken to a whole new level this evening as Paul showed me the possibilities for programming it to do exactly what you want. He might make a programmer out of me yet! I use google docs for everything... I've been called the google docs queen by one friend. I'm a bit of an evangelist, to the extent that I just can't understand why the whole world hasn't embraced it like I have. I guess I just need to keep spreading the word. I have Dr Xorile to thank, since he was the one to introduce me to it.

Tried Nigella’s Nutella cheesecake today- absolutely fabulous and so easy! Will definitely appear on our menu again soon.

Tiredness beckons, time to sleep. Bye bye.

Early morning toy soldiers

Pippa has gone off for cross country, so Tasha is using the glorious early morning play time to play toy soldiers.

Barra brith and being blessed

Barra Brith They say you start 'nesting' when you are pregnant, well, it's true - I've been into baking these last couple of weeks. Today I decided to make Barra Brith (Welsh tea loaf) for my colleagues, since it is my birthday. What a disaster! First it overflowed, surgically welding itself to the intereior of our oven, then it burnt on top whilst remaining raw on the inside, then it rufused to be extracted from the loaf tin. I wouldn't be surprised about any of this with my track-record in baking, but I made exactly the same thing using exactly the same recipe last week and it was 100% successful. It still tasted great though - once I managed to extract it from its tin. I'm not, however, looking forward to dealing with the oven! That can wait until the weekend. Hard times I've had a number of emails from friends recently telling me of the death of close friends and accidents that people have had; it has made me realise just how fortunate and blessed we are...

Names

Lots of people have been asking us about names for the baby, and we aren't telling anyone until baby arrives. To satisfy that name curiosity that we all have, Paul found this cool website showing the popularity of names since the 1880's, I think it's just for America, but it's pretty darned cool anyway. Just type your name in the top left above the pink and blue box and it gives you a graph showing the popularity of your name. http://babynamewizard.com/namevoyager/lnv0105.html
