"Mini Coote is on the way - watchout smartcar"


My babies...ok they are furry but they are also cute and crazy and a lot more laughs than any reality TV out there.

We officially announced it so to speak! Yes, we are having a baby...well by 10 weeks its pretty much on its way to looking human with fingers and toes. Exciting stuff huh? I guess, long as you're not the one who's exhausted all the time. I don't think I've ever wanted to sleep so much as I do now. The 1st trimester blues as I began calling them has been easing too. Where I used to be hungry, ravenous, now I can eat normally.

Ok, so today was the first day I actually had only 3 meals instead of six meals. I exaggerate, I meant 6 mini meals since I had to watch my calories too. It's a lie, you don't eat for two. You eat for one but your food needs to have the nutrient content for two. Otherwise, the baby takes it from you. Which makes eating all the more complicated for someone who just prefers to simply eat. What a headache!! I lived off of raisin bran and milk for the last two months.

Well, since I'm really fighting to stay awake, I'm going to turn in. Yes, apparently, I do go to bed this early, go figure. I heard that the 2nd trimester is supposed to be better. I can't wait.

Fantastic news, guys. We were thrilled to hear it.

Don't forget to tell the kitties that in 6 and a half months time they'll have a whole lot more 'NO!' in their lives and will have to look to each other for tickles between the ears!

Look after yourselves and don't forget your Omega 3s.
