11.5 weeks



So I am 11 weeks pregnant.. feeling great (not really actually fat but never mind) And this is the first of the all to familiar week by week pictures... 
excuse the hair and over all look of me.. i just had a shower and didn't know how to smile just then. 

Moving in

So we are moved into our flat... we are a messy kind so I haven't taken newer pictures of our place because of the comments of how messy we are... but i do want to take some and show you how we rearranged everything. But here are some of our moving day.
Our moving day was hard work (well not really for me as I am pregnant and therefore not able to lift anything according to our friends) but our good friend Charlie came down last minute with his trailer and truck and helped us make quite a few loads back and forth. In the end I think they made the move in about 6 trips. And up as our other good friend Dave who helped us move counted each time 56 steps... yeah we have a lot of steps. One of the only downfalls of our place. That will not be fun when I am really pregnant.








My birthday

I had a very nice quiet birthday! I worked in the morning and in the afternoon had a nap. And then in the evening Joel took me on a BBQ on the beach. The weather was absolutely perfect for it and the sea was calm and beautiful.
here are some pictures to incise you to come to England.. because it is sometimes sunny and nice.
while we were waiting for our dinner to cook there was this guy on his surf board who looked rather sad and lonely. The sea that day was as calm as a lake and there was no surf..which is what you would need to use a surf board. Instead this guy was standing on his board paddling back and forth.. it was funny. I am sure he was working on his balance or something logical like that but honestly how sad. England is not known for its amazing surfing.

Ages and Ages

I know it has been ages since I have blogged.. many good reasons for this:
1.our Internet is not working in our flat yet and the only source of Internet is here at work! and for some reason it takes 15 business days to move our address in their system and now our power cable isn't working for our livebox internet thing so we have to wait another 5 business days for that to come. AWESOME. a whole month and a half with out internet.
2. our computer seems to not like us and is shutting off at various times without warning so I cannot really put pictures on there at the moment. and well that's about it. enough excuses.

Joel and I are loving our new place. Of course there are hitches here and there but over all its a great little flat that we are making more and more like home. I am excited to have family visit and see our home.

So I am just 11 weeks pregnant and most days raging inside a bit. I have had a bad temper lately and mostly strike out at strangers or people I work with. (Mind you these people at work at actually volunteers...so you know they don't' really deserve it.) I sit in the office at work mostly by myself. Some days people come in and use our copier. And for some reason they think that I am the copier fixer. And one day a lady came into to use the copier and it wasn't working..PC Load letter and all that...and she said "the copier is doing that thing again......" long pause.. I thought she was just talking to herself. And then she turned around and said "the copier is doing that thing again where is says there is a jam but there isn't one..." and she stared at me for about 20 seconds... I looked back at her and said after the uncomfortably long stare... "I don't know, I am not sure what you want me to do about it" and she said "oh well has it done hat for you today.." I said I hadn't used it and wen back to work... how am I supposed to fix the copier.. i am not a magician.
I am getting angry thinking about it so I am going to stop.
So much has gone on... and I have some pictures to prove it. Hopefully our internet is going to work by the end of the week and then i will be able to blog like no one's business!! until then.. i miss you adriel
