Here in Holland, the summer has started (although it's probably not going to last long). The weather for the last week has been glorious. I have spent afternoon after afternoon sitting in the garden with my daughter (she is 14 months, and is developing a great character). Sitting rolling a ball backwards and forwards, it's amazing how something so simple can keep her so occupied and happy.
I would love use parents in law as babysitter, and park myself outside in a cafe terrace and have a nice ice cold beer. Probably not a great idea considering I'm pregnant, so I will just have to grin and bear it, and drink some cold lemonade.

As you know, I'm pregnant
If you read my previous entry, which I personally think is a bit garbled, seeing as I was tired, and I had just found out I was pregnant.
I THINK my head is a whole lot clearer today, in fact Im pretty sure it is. I have done some research and do you realise that at this stage in my pregnancy, the baby is
half of an o in print. So half of "o" is the size of my child.
It's mad to think that we were all like that once. When you're pregnant, you tend to think about these thing a lot. It really does change your view of what's important in life.
Before I had my first child my life consisted of work, work, and more work, interspersed of course with weekends of partying (I still miss the partying though). Now its out for dinner and a few drinks once a month, and washing really small clothes, and changing dirty diapers.
The thing is, I don't mind. I've done the social thing, I done the travelling thing, and I look on motherhood as the next big adventure, and I'm having a ball!!
