OH so cool!

I think this is our only completely indulgent kiddly purchase, and by George, did we make it count. It turns out that one of us alone can resist cool kid stuff, but both of us together are a bit useless.

Still, we did need a lamp ...

Hehe. I love that he even comes with his own plant to pee on. Dogs are awesome.






Plus, the latest belly shot. Complete with sausage fingers and meat pattie hands. You wouldn't believe I've only chunked on 10kg so far in this business would you? I look like a great big puff ball.

And, speaking of chunking it on, it turns out that Cuinn has not slowed down his endeavour towards the title of world heavy-weight champion of the maternity ward on whatever day he arrives - the little pudding is 7lbs 8oz. It turns out that the last lot of measurements were a bit off.

Now might be a good time to start hoping I'm stretchy ...

hee hee, excellent belly. 10kgs is nada, seriously nada. he will FEED that off you in a coupla months, being a big hungry lad and all. like his dad and his uncles!

and the lamp is perfect!

there was a 7.4kg boy delivered somewhere in aus last week, surprisingly by caesarean . . . go cuinn go, go cuinn go, you can beat that if you try!

um, if you go overdue by a week or two, that kid will need airlifting out . . .

He's not going overdue. He's being evicted in the 40th week cos he's a porker. Phew for that. Can you imagine if he was over done by 2 weeks???!!! *faint*

I did see on that on the news ... *gulp* All I can say is rather her than me ANY day of the week!

lardo comes to mind.

thank god he is a boy tho - a girl of those proportions would hate you and al forever - i know, because i was huge, and lets face it, i am no teeny weeny miss now am i? it is no fun having no friends with whom you can swap clothes because you are 12cm taller and 20kgs heavier . . .

hmmm, evicted. yes - he will LOVE that. like as in, LOOOOOVE it. and no doubt, being a leach kid, he will be remarkably cooperative. not to mention Al's genes in the mix. he he he, hopefully he is too young yet for paddies such as grandchild number 1 is prone to. fortunately, when she flings her red-faced self bodily on the ground because we will not let her stab thomas with a garden fork, she is still light enough to carry (also bodily) up the stairs to beddy byes.

also, she is getting ankles, but her earlier dainty weight has been replaced by remarkably manly shoulders and thunderous thighs.

still, at least she started out tiny!!!

cuinn will never know himself as teeny weeny will he, let alone dainty.
